“Who will show us some good?” (v6). This is the universal question of men and women everywhere, in every generation. Who will give us a better life, more security, more happiness? How will we make our “grain and new wine” increase? (v7). Sadly, by believing “vain words” and “lies” (v2), we end up with shame instead of the life God desires for us (v2). He calls us to put our trust in Him alone and discover the joy of knowing Him (v5,7). 

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety” (v8). The real treasure is the gift of a quiet and peaceful heart, at rest in the care of our Father.
