***************************************************************************Psalm 93
OUR DEPENDABLE GOD
(A Complete Lesson)
· What are the traits of a dependable person?
· Why is being dependable an important characteristic?
· Why are undependable people or companies frustrating?
· How will knowledge of Gods dependability help you?
We are studying Psalm 93. We do not know who wrote the Psalm, or when it was written.
There is a good possibility, however, that it was at the end of the 70 year captivity of Israel.
To me, this Psalm shows how dependable God is! If God is dependable, as His children, we have nothing to fear! I see five things that I can count on because God is dependable.
I CAN COUNT ON GODS SOVEREIGNTY Vs. 1
The Lord reigned, he is clothed with majesty;
· The Lord reigns because He is king! What should that mean for us when we dont like whats going on in the world?
· Why should the Lords kingship give me a sense of security?
· Why should the Lords kingship give me a sense of responsibility?
Romans 8:16-18 - The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [17] And if children, then heirs; of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. [18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
· Why should the Lords kingship give you a sense of awe? Psalm 24:7-10, Isaiah 6:1-4
I CAN COUNT ON GODS STRENGTH Vss. 1, 3-4
the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself:
The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
· In what ways has God shown His strength?
· The floods referred to here are very likely the heathen nations that rear their ugly head against God.
· I personally think of the floods as my problems. What should Gods strength and interest in my problems motivate me do?
I CAN COUNT ON GODS STABILITY Vss. 1-2
the world also is established, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
Psalm 90:1-2 - Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. [2] Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hardest formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
· How does Gods stability make us feel about various governments?
· How should Gods stability make us feel about world situations?
I CAN COUNT ON GODS SCRIPTURE Vs. 5a
Thy testimonies are very sure:
· What does this statement tell you about Gods Word?
· Name some of the great promises in Gods Word that are helpful in times of distress.
· Gods Word is very sure. What should be our response to it?
I CAN COUNT ON GODS SANCTITY Vs. 5b
holiness becomes thine house, O Lord, forever.
· What does this verse tell me about Heaven?
· Based on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, what does this verse tell me about myself and my behavior?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? [20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
How does Psalm 93 affect your thinking about God and your problems?
