This weekโs Reflection & Discussion Questions
(Leaders:ย Copy and paste these into your groups.ย If you do not have a group, use these for a personal time of reflection.)
Chapter 61
David cried out to God โfrom the end of the earth,โ yet he was never far from the Promised Land.ย Figuratively speaking, his heart was at the end of the earth.ย He was weary and on the brink of despair as he cried out to God to lead him and protect him.
Have you been worn out and tired by the difficulties of daily life and suffered from feeling distant from God?ย David did not give up hope or deny Godโs love in the midst of these feelings, instead he cried out to God and drew near to him.ย We have a great King who is always with us.ย P)ray and ask God to guide you with wisdom and strength today in the midst of your weariness.
Chapter 62
David went from being an average shepherd boy to a wealthy king.ย Davidโs riches had increased over his lifetime, but he had learned that it was foolish to trust in them.ย He was able to have great wealth without setting his heart and affections on them.
Is money a struggle for you?ย Perhaps you are in need of more or maybe you are in a season of plenty.ย ย Either way, money can become a fixation of our hearts if we do not guard our hearts.ย Money is not to be our source of joy, our source of security or a source of pride.ย In what ways do you struggle to trust in God more than money and how can you trust God more today?
Chapter 63
The thirst of Davidโs soul led him to earnestly seek after God.ย Like a man who is thirsty in a dry desert land, he sought God and found satisfaction for his soul, in God.ย In verse 5, David compares beholding Godโs glory with the satisfaction of eating the richest of foods. Our God is so good!
What do you earnestly seek after? Look at your calendar and finances and you can quickly see where your priorities lie.ย We must never seek satisfaction in the things of this world, or we will find ourselves in an emotional desert.ย Even our bodies feel the effects of our emotional deserts.ย Is your soul thirsty?ย How can you make God more of a priority in your life?
Chapter 64
David knew that behind his back, in secret places, people were talking about him.ย They were making plans against him and telling lies about him. He was powerless to stop them, so he prayed.ย Though he did not know what was being said about him, God did.
Sometimes itโs easier when things are said right out in the open to our face rather than behind our back.ย A hidden sniper in battle is much more dangerous than a man out in the open.ย Have you suffered from rumors and lies being said about you in secret places?ย Though in the moment, it may seem that their words are winning, God has a good plan for you and he will not let you down.ย He is with you. Say a prayer now asking God to protect you from any secret gossip that could harm you.
Chapter 65
We see the awesomeness of our God in creation!ย Verse 6 says that God stills the roaring of the waves and seas. Our God is strong!ย He lovingly takes care of the earth, making sure it has all that it needs with both water and grain.ย He makes the sun rise in the morning and gives us moonlight at night.
When we pause and consider the greatness of God in creation, we cannot help but to rejoice. He fills the hills with cattle, the meadows with flocks, and the valleys with grain. After showers of rain and a season of growth, wagons overflow with an abundance of food.ย Consider all of this and donโt just sing praise to God โ shout praise!ย How does considering the goodness of God in creation, lead you to joy?

Good Evening Mrs Courtney, I found your web page, and I am slightly knew to doing Bible Studies with a color code system. I printed up your color code, and started reading Psalm61 this evening. As I read first line I was trying to figure out the color code for it(I tend to over think about things then I get paranoid then my brain starts going all over the place ๐
I am sorry to bother you about this..
Where it says
Hear me cry,O God (I am catholic so looking at my Catholic Bible)
When someone is speaking to God as in this verse,would that fall under
Yellow
or
Orange ?
Again sorry to bother you, I know you are very busy…
Blessings
Hi Renee!
Yes – I colored the first 2 verses yellow for prayer. I’ll post the entire picture of my coloring tomorrow morning on my instagram page here: http://www.instagram.com/womenlivingwell But don’t worry if your coloring looks different than mine. There is no right or wrong way to do it – and sometimes verses fall into multiple categories so all of our Bibles might look a little different. It’s just a tool that helps us slow down and soak in God’s Word.
So glad you are joining us!

Oh my gosh thank you ๐ Your color chart is helping me study more and more ๐
YES! I am starting to slow down and not take on too much at one time so to really soak it in ๐ Thank you for your instagram link, following you now ๐

Thanks for this, really going through some tough times at work, it’s been difficult trying to start something reasonable, and in the midst of all these troubles, it hasn’t been easy to connect with God, the more I get entangled with live challenges, the more hard it becomes to relate with God, but I think my hope is alive again, I’ll make efforts to return to God as I should.
