Below are my thoughts from the daily
Bible reading of the West Side Church of Christ. Before reading I invite you to
pray and asked God to speak to you as you read his word. Also above in the tabs
is a link to the Bible reading plan.
Please say an extra prayer today.
Nearly 20 West Side Christians and Teens are in Gatlinburg for the Tennessee
Christian Teen Convention. Pray that our travels home today will be safe. Pray
that the challenges our teens experienced will stick beyond this weekend. Pray
that any bonds created during this weekend will grow when we return home. Pray
that our teens will be ambassadors for Christ in their schools.
What Does this Passage Say?
- David has an amazing ability to articulate the attributes of God. He correctly labels God’s disdain for wickedness. He also shows that God delights in righteousness and offers protection to those who chase him.
- David battles with worry and agony. While he battles he also understands where he must go … he must go to God. David has faith that God has heard him, he does not question it. He might still be in agony, but he knows this truth; God cares and hears his every longing of David’s heart.
What is this passage teaching?
- One aspect I love about the Psalms is that they teach us how to praise God. They give us so many insights into the character of God. They show us the love and care God provides. They show us the righteous judgment that God must operate under. Simply put they give us a word picture of our savior.
How can I apply this passage to my life?
- Does your prayer life struggle? Do you struggle to praise God in your time of prayer? Do you find the majority of your prayer is requests? If so spend time reading the Psalms. Even start to pray the Psalms. By doing so you will learn to praise God, worship God, and then follow up with your own personal supplication and requests. You might just see a huge change in your attitude and appreciation for God!
