1. Whom did you tell of God’s wonderful acts since we last met?  

2. Today we’ll read about the way creation continues to demonstrate God’s majesty. Where have you been struck by the amazing beauty of nature?  

Ask two people to read aloud Psalm 8 one after the other, preferably from different Bible versions. Then ask the same two people to do the same with Psalm 131. Finally, ask a third person to paraphrase both psalms, using as much detail as possible.  

3. In what ways have you seen God use the weakest of things (such as children and infants, but not only those) to build a stronghold and deter his enemies? 

4. Verses 3-4 talk about how small we are, while verses 5-8 talk about how much responsibility we have. This may seem counterintuitive, but it’s deeply true. In what other parts of our lives do we see this relationship?  

5. Psalm 131 is short but powerful. How does focusing on what’s in front of you help you to calm and quiet yourself?  

  • Is it easy or hard for you to just sit and be with God? 

6. Taken together, what do these two psalms tell us about God? 

7. What do these two psalms tell us about ourselves? 

8. What is one way you can better obey the Scriptures we read today? 

9. Whom will you tell about the glory and majesty of God this week? 

10. Based on our study and discussion, complete the sentence: “I will . . .” 

For Next Week: Read and reflect on Psalm 23 and Psalm 27. You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.

Following Through … Even Years Later

I want to speak to those, like me, who once upon a time made a commitment to serve. I thought that chapter had closed. My commitment that summer circa 1993 may not have panned out how I expected, but I think that through the working of the Spirit, the love of the Son, and the guidance of the Father it is still something I’m called to do.

Great Assists

Great assists happen every day in classrooms, offices, factories, and hospitals as people quietly meet needs. Not everyone is a general who leads troops into battle. Many are like Clara Barton, who assisted behind the scenes as a nurse, a cook, and an advocate for the wounded.
