Psalm 4 - (8 of 10 notes)

The Treasury of David
by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)

7. “It is better,” said someone, “to feel God’s favor one hour in our repenting souls, than to sit whole ages under the warmest sunshine that this world affords.” Christ in the heart is better than corn in the barn, or wine in the vat. Corn and wine are but fruits of the world, but the light of God’s countenance is the ripe fruit of heaven. This verse is the saying of the righteous man, in opposition to the saying of the many. How quickly the tongue betrays the character! Let us, then, weigh and watch our words, lest our speech should prove us to be foreigners, and aliens from the commonwealth of Israel.
