About

Worship does not come easily or naturally. For many of us, we have to be very intentional about worship. Amazingly, even David had times when he needed to remind himself of why to worship the Lord. Today we'll study Psalm 103 and look at these crucial reasons we can always worship our glorious Lord.

DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS:

1.    The podcast explained that Psalm 103 is a “Call to worship” the Lord. What does this mean and why do we need to be summoned to worship Him? 
2.    What does the phrase “Bless the Lord” mean in verse 1? What is David calling in himself to worship the Lord? What kinds of blessings have we received in verse 5?
3.    In verse 2, why does true worship require us to remember how God has benefited us? How has God benefited you? In what way should this lead you to worship Him more? 
4.    What does verse 3, why does receiving “pardon” from God cause us to worship Him? In what way is pardoning part of our healing? Ultimately, when and where we will be healed? 
5.    In verses 6 & 7, how can we worship God for His deliverance of the Jews? Why? How does He show us a similar work of deliverance? 
6.    How is God gracious to us in verse 8? How is His graciousness evident in verse 9? 
7.    How does verse 10 show us God’s mercy and grace? What does this show us about God’s attitude towards us? 
8.    How do verses 12 & 13 show us God’s love? How do the terms east and west show us God’s infinite grace and forgiveness? 
9.    In verses 17 & 18, who is this forgiveness for? Why? How do we enter this relationship with the Lord? 
10.     In verses 19 - 22, who are we joining with when we worship the Lord? How might this reality affect your private and public worship? How does this help us know that our future will always be oriented to the Lord in worship? 
11.    As you finish up your study in this psalm, why not look back over it and pull out the specific ways you can worship Him right now.
