Psalm 25

Text: Read Psalm 25.

Themes of this Psalm: Hope in God; Trust in God; He’ll Show You the Way; Fear the Lord; Keep Your Eyes on Him; Turn to God; When Afflicted and Suffering; Refuge; Wait on God; Depend on God Alone

Key Verses: All

What should we do when we go through a tough time? Verse 1 starts to tell us everything we should do and the rest of this psalm, every single verses, tells the full answer. But, we start with turning our hope to God (Psalm 25:1).

What else do we do when going through a hard, happy, or in-between time? And, where do you turn when you don’t know which way to go? We look at verse 4 for that answer. We ask God to show us His way and teach us to follow it.

Psalm 25:5 tells is more of what we are to do when we are dealing with happy or with challenging times. We are to wait on God.

I could go on and on with this Psalm, but I will stop there. These three truths need time to simmer in our hearts and minds:

~ We are to turn our hope to God (v 1).

~ We are to ask God to show us and teach us His way (v 4).

~ We are to wait on God all day long (v 5).

Note their order. Hope, way, wait.

What are your thoughts? Prayer journal your thoughts and questions. Also, write a prayer to God about Psalm 25.
