n this Psalm David speaks of the gracious goodness and
kindness of God upon His children. In
verse 1 he speaks of how God helped him to find some room to breathe when he
was in distress. In verse 3 David speaks
of how comforting it is to know that one belongs to God. Then he adds more about the things that only
God can permanently provide for the hungry human heart: gladness, peace, rest
and safety. These are things which we
all crave. But, we aren't supposed to
seek after those things; we are supposed to seek after God... those good things
are secondary byproducts and blessings of the great find, which is God Himself
(Genesis 15:1 & Matthew 6:33).
When David reflected upon the goodness and marvelous
generosity of God, he had to ask: "When will men see the light? When will men turn from empty things and lies
to the God of heaven?" (Psalm 4:2
& 4). Truly, good things come ONLY
from the Lord (James 1:17).
