Hello my dear friends, grace to you.
In this edition of Psalms of Discipleship we are going to look at an
"obvious" solution to our greatest need. But sometimes, even with the
most committed disciple of Jesus, we can put more faith in our ability
to "fix" our problems than to place our entire trust in Jesus to fix us.
Learning as I go,

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #2
Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life
Key Scripture: O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved. (See also vs. 7 and 19) Psalm 80:3
Core Value: Prayer
Have you ever come to the end of yourself? It seems that everything
you have attempted to do in order to “fix” your problem has crashed and
burned. Out of the ashes of another failed attempt to fix the unfixable,
do you often return to the very same way of doing things that will give
you the very same outcome again?
Here is the illusion:
sometimes we believe we are the answer to our removing our trials (and
maybe, sometimes this is absolutely true). But there are some personal
challenges that require us to look beyond ourselves. Some people look to
man’s wisdom. Others look to false gods. The disciple of Jesus looks to
the God of grace, the One who restores us, the One who shines His face
upon us, the One who saves us.
Principle #2 & Personal
Application: Quality disciples learn to keep short accounts with God
through humility and brokenness.
• The person who keeps short accounts with God looks to the Lord for restoration and the forgiveness of sin
• The person who keeps short accounts with God is graced with the warmth and kindness of His love
• The person who keeps short accounts with God experiences the beauty of God’s salvation everyday
Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…
How does a prayer of repentance help me see God’s love for me more clearly?
What does it mean to have God’s face shine upon me?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, may I always keep short accounts with You. Without Your
restoration, I am doomed to spiritual ruin. May Your face always shine
upon me. May Your great salvation never be taken for granted by me.
The Essential Core Values Of The Quality Disciple Are…
Grace—Worship—Bible Study—Prayer—Community—Service
