4:7-8 "You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine. In peace I will lie down and sleep for you alone, O Lord, will keep my safe."
A great reminder of where our faith takes us, and the joy that is found in our Lord isn't it? People can have all the money, all the riches of the world, but many times they are not satisfied with what they have. They seek joy and fulfillment in this world but never find it.
I like that these two verses have references to Joy and peace. In many liturgies in Churches we have the blessing of the 'peace and joy of the Lord by with you' and the response 'and also with you'. It's a nice blessing and a reminder that even though we have hope of eternal life, but that while we are struggling with problems here, that the Lord does provide joy and peace to His people.
