How much evil has been committed, how much sin has been committed that began by someone lying in bed angry, plotting an effective way to take revenge?
The house is quiet, the sun has set, the work is done, the distractions are all gone. It's just you and your thoughts.
Very conducive to dwelling on offenses,
...replaying hurtful conversations and events,
...sowing that seed of bitterness.
"Be angry..." v.4a
God doesn't ask you to deny your emotions.
"...and do not sin" v.4a
But He does require us to deny our flesh.
"Meditate on your bed, and be still" v.4b
Bring the Lord into your thoughts. Think of Him and let your mind be at peace.
