Day 31

PSALM 31: Taking Refuge

By now we are getting a full picture in psalms of a trustworthy God in whom we should take refuge. Go through the psalm and see how many times ‘refuge’ is spoken of. What are the other ways in which the psalmist expresses taking refuge in God (eg ‘I trust in the Lord’ verse 6).

What are the different ways in this psalm that explain why we can take refuge in God?

Read Luke 23:46 (from Psalm 31:5). How does this affect we read the psalm and think about Jesus?

Today’s Prayer Suggestions

1. Entrust your life into God's hands, just as Jesus did, and pray for steadfast faith in trials.

2. Pray for deeper relationships between members across different services.

3. Give thanks for the peace and stability we enjoy in Australia. On Anzac Day, thank God for those who have sacrificed much for that peace. Pray for military chaplains serving today.
