“Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness and put your trust in the LORD. There are many who say, ‘Who will show us any good?’ LORD, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.” Psalm 4: 4-6

Selfish anger is sinful anger. To be still is to put all into the LORD’s hands while meditating upon His unchallenged ability to address according to His perfect will, all aspects of the life lying still before Him.

Offers of the sacrifice of His righteousness can only be made by the one who put their trust in the LORD for the source of the righteousness is established – the LORD.

When dwelling in the shadow of “Who will show us any good”, look to the LORD for goodness and the light radiating for His countenance, His face.

Because self-righteous anger does not accomplish anything, may I be preserved from it. May my meditation upon the LORD be sweet and bring about the stillness so needed. In my trust of Him, may I show forth His righteousness and look steadfastly for the light of His countenance, by His grace and for His glory.
