A good day to all reading this! Today's reading is Psalm 4:8 and Proverbs 3:1-2:
Psalm 4:8
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
In this verse, David writes that he can leave behind the cares of this world to sleep in peace because he knows that his whole life is in the Lord's hands and he's under His protection.
Proverbs 3:1-2
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Here Solomon tells his son not to forget what he's commanded him to do and not do. The truth in this law is ultimately God's, but Solomon calls it his law because of the authority he has over son as his parent to either allow or forbid his son to do things.
In this verse, too, Solomon makes clear that true obedience comes from the heart. If one only outwardly obeys, and rebellion against God's ways is still in his heart, he will eventually go astray.
Solomon counsels his son that doing what's good brings life and peace.
