What occupies our thoughts at night? In this message, Alistair Begg reminds us that the cry of our heart in its resting moments must be for the vindication of God’s glory. As believers, we lament over a world lost in spiritual darkness and bent on defaming God’s name. When we allow our hearts to be softened by this reality, we will engage the world with greater compassion and pray with renewed zeal for God’s supremacy in all things.
1Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!
You have given me relief when I was in distress.
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer!
2O men,1 how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah
3But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
4Be angry,2 and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
5Offer right sacrifices,
and put your trust in the Lord.
6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
7You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
