Psalm 4:5 (New International Version)
Offer right sacrifices and trust in the LORD.
The first psalm taught us that God has a plan.
His plan calls for happiness's for each of our lives. Happiness requires a completeness of ones soul, of ones self. The completeness of ones self is accomplished by means of doctrine, by means of learning doctrine, by means of understanding doctrine and growing up and making truth the central foundation of your life.
Bible doctrine is the key to your life.
Psalm two taught us that man has a plan and that God has a plan.
Men plans will all fail. Gods plan will succeed. Gods plan began in eternity past when one member of the trinity was assigned the title, Son of God. The plan centers around that person, the Son, who was to accomplish an eternal destiny for all who believe in Him. Rejection or indifference toward Gods plan is arrogance.
The soul is eternal, therefore the reasonable person will plan for the long term of his life (eternity), and not just the short term (this present life).
The third psalm taught us that the world is an enemy.
The world does not care for your best interest. The world inundates each person with enticements and unfairness to distract you from God and Gods plan. It is easy to get caught up in the activities of ones life and forget or ignore God, but then the world surrounds you with an almost infinite variety of enemies, most of which you would never recognize as enemies, friendly such as they are. Your own attitude can be your worst enemy.
The fourth psalm teaches us to stand in awe of God, doctrine, and the spiritual life that He alone offers. Conform to His teaching and plan, and your life will be beyond better, and beyond anything that the world can offer.
Therefore, offer the sacrifices of righteousness and trust in the Lord.
Our sacrifice comes in the form of a daily study for the purpose of learning and growing up in our spiritual life. Therefore today, our sacrifices in righteousness, means learning truth, or Gods word, in order to advance in our spiritual life, and bring ourselves into compliance with His will.
What you have not learned, you cannot know. What you do not know, then you cannot understand. Therefore, in order to come to an understanding and to wisdom, you must first learn, and to learn you must conduct yourself in a daily study of the scriptures
With study comes learning. With learning, comes understanding. With understanding comes trust. With trust comes faith. And the combination of all of these things brings Gods objective for you as stated in Psalm one, blessings.
Application
I want to know You more... i want to trust in You more...i will continue to learn and understand...trust and have faith in You my God
