• Series: Summer Psalms
God’s Creation, God’s Law and You Psalm 119: 1-14 Chris Patton I. What God’s Creation Reveals (verses 1-6) II. Why God’s Law Matters (verses 7-11) III. Our response (verses 12-14) Questions for Discussion/Application: *Re-read the text, Psalm 19:1-14. What initial insights and observations do you have from reading this passage? *What does God’s creation reveal about God? *What are some ways we see God’s glory in creation? *Describe a time when you personally marveled at God’s glory in creation. *How can we grow in taking opportunity to worship God for the ways we see His glory in creation? *What is the value of God’s law in the life of the Christian? *How can we grow to delight in the law of the Lord, like the psalmist does here? *As Christians we have been justified in God’s sight through the person and work of Jesus Christ. Our sin was imputed to Christ, at the Cross and his righteousness was imputed to us at the moment of our conversion. When God looks at us, he sees not the filth of our sin, but the perfect righteousness of His Son Jesus. Legalism is when we begin to smuggle our works, our law-keeping into our justification. How can we simultaneously value, cherish and pursue obedience to God’s law and rest in our justification? In our attempt to obey God, how can we avoid legalism? What does it look like practically to do that? *Re-read verses 12-14. In what ways do you resonate with the psalmist’s prayer. Consider taking time to pray along the same lines as David does in these verses.
