2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • The psalmist's thinking changes when he goes into the sanctuary of God. What does he see about God there that he could not see before?
   • In verses 23 to 26, what does God do for him, and what does God become to him?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Where have you looked at someone else's life and felt that following God was not worth it?
   • If God gave you none of the things you are asking for today, would you still want to know him?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • The psalmist says "it is good to be near God." When will you spend time with God this week asking for nothing, only to be near him?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is close to giving up because life seems unfair? When could you read this psalm with them?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
