Psa 4:7 | MHM | STEP | v. 7 : In contrast, David says to God, You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the season that their grain and wine increased . David and his friends are different from the world. They find joy not in possessions, but in God’s kindness. When God shows them His favor, it fills their hearts with a deep happiness that is greater than the happiness of people who have lots of food and drink. True joy is a gift from God and is greater than any joy the world can offer (John 14:27 ). Even in times of trouble, God’s people are glad because they know He loves them.

v. 7: In contrast, David says to God, You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the season that their grain and wine increased . David and his friends are different from the world. They find joy not in possessions, but in God’s kindness. When God shows them His favor, it fills their hearts with a deep happiness that is greater than the happiness of people who have lots of food and drink. True joy is a gift from God and is greater than any joy the world can offer (John 14:27 ^a). Even in times of trouble, God’s people are glad because they know He loves them.
