1. When you were a kid, where did your parents hide your birthday or Christmas gifts? Where do you hide gifts now?
2. Last week, we wrote an “I will” statement about confession and repentance. How did you follow through on that?
Ask one person to read all of Psalm 119:9-16, 89-96, 129-136 straight through out loud. Then ask other group members to each read one section at a time (preferably from different Bible versions).
3. How would you summarize these passages?
4. In verse 11, the author says he has “hidden your word in my heart.” Have you memorized any Scripture, and if so, how have you found that helpful?
5. Verse 92 tells of the protective power of following God’s commands. What’s one instance that your life was better because you did things God’s way?
6. The author shows a desire to follow God’s commands. Yet nowhere does he claim he followed them perfectly. How does verse 133 give us a realistic goal in our pursuit of God?
7. Notice how passionate the writer is about the message of God. How can you grow in your passion for God and the Scriptures?
8. What do you learn about God in this passage?
9. What do you learn about yourself?
10. Based on this passage, what’s one thing you’re doing well?
• What’s one thing you need to improve?
11. How will you obey what you’ve read today?
12. Based on our study and discussion, complete the sentence: “I will . . .”
For Next Week: Read and reflect on Psalm 92. You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.
