Psalms 4:3
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself;
The Lord hears when I call to Him.
When we "withdraw" from life what does God do?" Psalm 3-5 has some rich truth for us to digest. We could pick any of the verses and have an entire book written in regard to God's care for us and our need for God. The above verse represents much of what God is saying to us in this section. We are special to God. God has a special plan for each and every one of us. In this section the Psalmist seems to be in a depressed mood. He cries out to God in a various ways and finds solace that God is both listening and is active in his life. In this Psalm, above, we see that God not only listens and acts, He has a plan for the godly man. God has "set apart" the godly man. What a great truth to meditate upon (note in verse four of this chapter that the writer actually tells the reader after writing this truth to "meditate" on his bed about it). When you and I feel depressed and/or down God is active in our lives. God hears us as we groan and grind out life. God is active in our lives even though we might have withdrawn from life. God has a plan - He has set us apart for Himself and is working out His plan for us, even when we withdraw from life.
