Tremble, and do not sin;In my previous post, I talked about how we should tremble, because God's power is able to do anything. But we should worship Him, because of that power and how He does use it. Here, we see the next thing we should do. God has called us to do His work. By sinning, we are saying that His work isn't right, when we know that's not true. Therefore, if that power is working for His will, and we are doing something against that will, we should tremble, for suddenly God's power is not on our side anymore.
Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still.
Selah.
Personally, I find the second half of this verse to be troublesome. I don't do well doing nothing. If I'm doing nothing, my ADD kicks in, and my mind goes three directions at once, few of them ever good. My darkest fantasies happen when I'm lying in bed, yet this is where we're called to meditate, presumably upon God and His will? This is one that will take a lot of work for me.
