Unit 2:
October
God Sustains
The second unit shows us that God willingly sustains His
children in times of need, and we move to the book of Psalms for
the rest of the quarter. Lesson 5
(October
3 God's Majesty—Ps. 8:1-9),
examines His majesty and the excellence of His name as seen in
Creation.
Lesson 6 (October
10
God's Law Sustains—Ps. 19:7-14)
builds on this by studying the
importance of obedience to God's Word. We look at the qualities
of the law and how it was to be applied. God is much more than a
lawgiver, however, and in lesson 7
(October
17 God Provides Refuge—Ps.
46:1-7)
we see Him as a refuge who
will protect us all the way into eternity.
Lesson 8
(October
24
God's Rule over the Nations—Ps. 47:1-9),
explains that God will one day openly rule the nations and sit
on His earthly throne in Jerusalem in the Person of His Son. All
His people will sing praises to Him in that day.
Lesson 9 (October
31 God's Presence Comforts
and Assures—Ps. 63:1-11)
concludes the unit by
reminding us that He comforts His own by providing for our every
need.
Unit 3:
November
God Protects
The final unit emphasizes God's protection of His children. In
lesson 10 (November
7
God Is Awesome—Ps. 66:1-12)
we are invited to praise Him because He is awesome.
In lesson 11 (November
14 God Is Forever—Ps. 90:1-12)
we are reminded that He is
eternal. As temporal beings, we need to learn how to number our
days and walk in wisdom in expectation of our own coming
eternity with Him.
The focus of lesson 12
(November 21
God Delivers and Protects—Ps. 91:1-6, 9-16),
reminds us that God is our secret, sure shelter of deliverance,
exaltation, and salvation.
Lesson 13 (November
28
God All-knowing—Ps. 139:1-6, 13-16, 23-24)
takes us to a revelation of God's omniscience and omnipotence.
He is all-knowing. We must therefore submit to His examination
of our hearts and let Him help us live for Him. "Search me, 0
God, and know my heart" (v. 23).
