FAMILY THEME: SONGS OF WORSHIP


Psalms 121, 127, 130


Biblical hope is a well-grounded, well-founded assurance 
that God will do what He has said He would do. The study
this week gives us a reason for this hope.

1.  Our Help Comes From the Lord

     (Psalm 121)

     The psalmist affirmed that he would look exclusively
     to the Lord for help.
 
2.  Our Efforts Are in Vain Without the Lord

     (Psalm 127)

     All our efforts become ineffective without God's help.
 
3.  Our Only Hope is in the Lord and His Mercy

     (Psalm 130)

     God is generous with grace, always ready to pardon
     our sin.

FAMILY THEME: A SONG OF GOD'S LOVE


Psalm 118


God's love and goodness toward us inspire praise and 
devotion from us.

1.  God's Love for Us Will Never End

     (Psalm 118:1-4)

     The writer was apparently so overwhelmed by the
     goodness and mercy of God that he called upon
     all believers to join him in worship.
 
2.  God Demonstrates His Love by Helping Us
     Through Difficulty

     (Psalm 118:5-18)

     During this period of opposition, the psalmist was
     victorious because God was for him.
 
3.  God Accomplishes His Plan by Using What
     Others Reject

     (Psalm 118:19-29)

     What the world rejects, God often uses to accomplish
     His will. This is His specialty.

FAMILY THEME: A SONG OF DISTRESS


Psalm 44


During difficult seasons, it is often hard to understand why
we face troubles. The psalmist wonders this as well.

1.  When Times Get Tough, Reflect Upon God's Goodness
     in the Past

     (Psalm 44:1-8)

     In a time of desperation the psalmist remembered
     what God had done in the past.
 
2.  In Difficult Seasons, Be Honest About Your Situation
     Before God

     (Psalm 44:9-16)

     In difficult times we confess our feelings of despair
     and shame.
 
3.  When Confused, Take a Spiritual Assessment
     of Your Life

     (Psalm 44:17-22)

     We should search our hearts in difficult times and
     confess any sin.

4.  When in Difficult Circumstances, Call Out to
     God for Help

     (Psalm 44:23-26)

     The psalmist pleaded for God's help.

FAMILY THEME: A SONG OF THANKSGIVING


Psalm 34


The goodness of God moved David to praise his great God and 
invite others to experience God's goodness.

1.  Praise God for Answered Prayer

     (Psalm 34:1-6)

     Answers to prayer compelled David to praise God
     and encourage others to praise Him as well.
 
2.  Praise God for His Protection and Provision

     (Psalm 34:7-10)

     David invited the reader to "taste" or personally
     experience the Lord's goodness by taking refuge
     in Him.
 
3.  God's Favor is on Those Who Fear Him and Do His Will

     (Psalm 34:11-16)

     David reminded God's people of the value of
     a life of righteousness.

4.  Praise God for His Presence and Deliverance

     (Psalm 34:17-22)

     Even the righteous have many problems, trials, 
     and difficult circumstances. But the constant
     presence of God is reassuring.
