Gay Christian Devotion
Psalm 4 (King James Version)
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Reflection
There are people who want to keep God's grace and love from being extended to the gay community. When people try to make God's queer children think God does not love them, they turn the glory due God's children into shame. Fortunately, the Lord set apart His queer children and He hears the prayers of His queer tribe.
The God who protected David protects His people today. Gay and bisexual Christians can sleep in peace and calm knowing that the God who protected David, the God who made David victorious in combat and the God who gave David the throne of Israel is looking after them.
