Life Through Gods Presence Week 2 Sept 30-Oct 4, 2013 Psalm 16:1-11 Monday: Read Psalm 16:1-6
In verse 1 we see David offer up a petition to God for his preservation on the basis of his taking refuge in Him. According to verse 2 what does it look like to take refuge in God? Martin Luther has said that to have a god is to expect all good, to take refuge in all distress, and to trust and believe in with the whole heart. Are you expecting all good from anything or anyone other than the Lord? Are you taking refuge from distress in anything or anyone other than the Lord? Are you trusting with your whole heart in anything or anyone other than the Lord? Pray that God would search your heart & show you where you are expecting good, seeking refuge, and trusting in anything or anyone other than Him.
Thursday: Read Psalm 16:7-11In verse 8 David describes the experience of being firmly rooted because of Gods
presence in His life. What does it mean to set the Lord before us? According to this verse, what benefit is associated with fixing our hearts and minds upon the Lord? How would you rate your current experience of feeling stable and secure? Is there something else that you have fixed your heart and mind upon which is causing instability & insecurity? Pray for the faithfulness to fix your heart and mind upon the Lord so that you might experience the blessings of stability & security in an ever-changing world.
