Psalms of Discipleship—April 24
Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life
Psalm 61:1-2
1 Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer. 2 From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Core Value: Prayer
Principle # 16 and Personal Application:
The quality disciple believes that the ear of God is within reach, no matter how difficult life may be.
• Prayer is the resource we use when our hearts are full and we cry out to God.
• Prayer is the resource we use when we need an answer from God.
• Prayer is the resource we use when we come to the end of our rope.
• Prayer is the resource we use when we need a higher perspective.
Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…
According to this passage of Scripture, what promises can I rest in when I come to the end of my rope?
Am I willing to be led by the Good Shepherd? Am I willing to follow Him “to the rock that is higher than I”?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I thank You for allowing me to cry out to You when my heart is full. Thank You for giving heed to my prayer. When I am at the ends of the earth (at the end of my rope) and feel like passing out, I rest in Your goodness to lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
