1. Whom did you tell about God’s glory and majesty last week?
2. What are you thankful for this year?
Ask two people to read aloud Psalm 23 one after the other, preferably from different Bible versions. Then ask the same two people to do the same with Psalm 27. Finally, ask a third person to paraphrase both psalms.
3. First, look at Psalm 23 through the lens of God’s protection. In the psalm, where do we see God protecting us?
4. Next, look at Psalm 23 through the lens of God’s provision. In the psalm, where do we see God providing for us?
5. Psalm 27 is much more focused on God’s protection than his provision. Where do you see God’s protection in this psalm?
6. How has God protected you over the past year?
- How has he provided for you?
7. What do you know is true about God by reading these two psalms?
- What do you know is true about yourself?
8. Do you find it easy to be thankful, or does your mind go more quickly to problems?
- What could you do to practice thankfulness this week and throughout the year?
9. For what people in your life are you particularly thankful?
- How will you tell them that this week?
10. Based on our study and discussion, complete the sentence: “I will . . .”
For Next Week: Read and reflect on Psalm 100 and Psalm 150. You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.
