Psalms - Chapter-118

Chapter Summary

Cheerful acknowledgement of God's goodness and dependence upon that goodness for the future.

How does v.8-9 speak directly against the culture of the world today?
In your own words, what do you think it means that the Lord's steadfast love endures forever? How does this change your current view of God?
How could we model the Lord's steadfast love in our relationships today? Is this something attainable? Why or Why not?
How have you seen the Lord as a "helper"? What was the significance of this?
How do you explain or interpret v.10-12? What does it mean to be "cut off"? Is this too harsh? Why or why not?
Psalm 118 has multiple verses telling God who He is. In your opinion, why is it important that we tell God who He is in our prayers? Is this important? Why or why not?
Does verse 18 change your mind about discipline? Why is that? How should we go about defining discipline in a "Christian sense"?
How does v.22 fit into the wider narrative of scripture especially in the ministry of Jesus? Why is this important to the ministry of Jesus?
If you were to wake up and repeated v.24 to yourself each morning, how do you think your life would change as a result?
Why do you think our prayers mostly consist of asking God for things rather than thanking God for things? What does that tell us about the human condition?

Thanks, vv. 1, 29.

God.
