Year 2 Day 74

Thursday, November 21

Read Psalm 39-40

Think About It: 

Psalm 39

1. Who do you look to for help when life is hard? (verse 7)
2. Our time on earth is short and heaven is forever. Enjoy your life here on earth, “but store up for yourself treasures in heaven.” (Matthew 6:20) Where do you store your treasures?

Psalm 40

1. Do you go to God when you are in a pit or do you try to pull yourself out? If we wait on God’s perfect timing He will:
   1. Lift us out of the pit—no matter how we got there
   2. Set our feet on a rock—Jesus is our Rock, our firm place to stand
   3. Give us a new song to sing
2. We need to tell what God has done for us, so others will trust Him too.

Family Time:

1. David takes his complaints and needs directly to God… not to others!

He also realizes that this life is “but a breath”, his wealth unimportant. What does David look for in Chapter 39:7? Who is the source of that Hope?

2. David waited patiently for God; God heard David’s cry (40:1). What 4 things did God do for David? (verses 2-3)
3. David learned the truth about what God desires from us. Read verses 6, 7 and 8 and tell what God desires.
