Leviticus 7     Proverbs 22     Psalms 7-8     (Click on the Reference to go to the passage)


Psalm 7
David wrote this Psalm in the face of Saul attempting to take his life (Samuel 24:9-11). David, instead of striking back, asks God for justice and sings praises even in the face of potential death.  What a challenge to us! When we face difficulty how do we respond? Next time you encounter trials remember David...He:
1. takes refuge in the Lord (v1)
2. asks God to judge him according to his righteousness (v3-5)         
3. declares God Most High as his shield (v10)
4. praises the Lord (v17)

Psalm 8
What an amazing psalm of praise – declaring Gods glory and the beauty of creation. Spend time today reflecting on God’s creation and praising him for it.
Reflect also on the awesome truth that despite how small we are in the universe God cares for, loves and cherishes us. In response write your own psalm of praise to God.
