Psalms 4:1-8 - David's Evening Prayer of Trust in God
From Psalms 4:1-8, brother Gideon Levytam shares David’s evening prayer to God. David called upon God for mercy during the dark days of suffering in his life. David’s enemies loved vanity, they accused him falsely, and continuously put him to shame. Israel’s beloved king David, in the midst of his sorrows, turned to the Lord in prayer. In spite of all the animosity he had to face, David trusted his God who sustained him, and made him dwell in safety.
1 Peter 2:13-25 - Walk Godly for God's Sake and Your Own Sake
In 1 Peter 2:13-25, brother Gideon Levytam continues the study of the apostle Peter’s appeal to the scattered believers in the Lord Jesus the Messiah.

They, and all true believers, are charged by Peter to live godly lives in this world for the sake of unbelievers, the LORD, and for their own sakes. Peter directs these suffering Jewish brethren to the wonderful person of their Lord and Messiah, the Shepherd, and overseer of their souls.

From Chapter 7:1-7 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam relays the vision that Daniel had in the first year of Belshazzar’s reign. In this unique vision, God shows His servant Daniel four great beasts coming out of the sea. One was like a lion, one was like a bear, one was like a leopard, and one was a dreadful and terrible unnamed beast.

Paul reminds God’s people to behave properly and redeem their time, because the days we live in are evil days. In every generation God’s people are called to seek the Lord’s mind and will for their lives.
