June 27 Psalm 145; Proverbs 18:1
- According to Psalm 145, how often did David say he would praise the Lord, and what does this reveal about the importance of regular worship
- What specific attributes of God's character are repeated in verses 8–9 of Psalm 145, and how might these truths comfort someone who feels unworthy of God’s kindness?
- Psalm 145:4 says, “Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts.” How are you currently passing on the knowledge of God’s greatness to the next generation?
- In verse 18, the psalm says the Lord is “close to all who call on him in truth.” What might it look like to call on God “in truth” in your daily walk with Him?
- How does the phrase “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Psalm 145:8) challenge or reshape how you view God's response to your failures?
- Psalm 145 emphasizes that God satisfies the desires of every living thing (v. 16). How does this truth affect your view of God's provision in your own life?
- What contrasts can you find between the behavior described in Proverbs 18:1—“Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense”—and the community-oriented praise seen in Psalm 145?
- What do the words “His greatness is beyond discovery” (Psalm 145:3) suggest about the limits of human understanding and the need for humility in knowing God?
- If the Lord “helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads” (Psalm 145:14), how might this shape your attitude toward those who are struggling around you?
- Considering Proverbs 18:1 warns against isolation, how can you ensure that your pursuit of personal goals or opinions doesn’t lead you away from wise counsel or community?
May meditating on His Word continually refresh you with living water!
