We continue to explore Psalm 9 by returning to what God values. Are we keeping our focus and our actions on Him or veering off course?
When we read about God’s judgment, we can wonder if God is the one putting us into bad places and how it could possibly be that someone who is loving would do that. Scripture helps us see things are actually a “tad” different than that.
A special fifth anniversary Steadfast takes us to the next part of Psalm 9.
God cares for the lowly — like us — and wants us to follow Him in showing that care.
Are our words promising things we have no intent to do that leave people to die or are they much needed refreshment in a hurting world?
How does showing care in how we relay information speak to our state before God? It is part of the broader picture of who we are in Jesus.
Do you like receiving critique and correction? Me, neither. But God offers us loving correction that draws us closer to the beauty He intends and, when we do it right, the correction we give and receive each other can do the same.
Even when we have the truth, we need to figure out how to convey it in love. Conveying truth in love involves caring about how the person we’re speaking to will hear it because of how we say it and when we say it.
We can get confused about the image of God in us. Is it just a “photocopy” of God? No, but it does tell us what He values and what He calls us to do.
Sin distorts our ability to understand what God is saying to us and how much we need His mercy.
