God Watches Over Us

God Watches Over Us

• READ PSALM 42

2
There will be times in our life when we will get
depressed and discouraged.

• We just need to remember that God watches over us
  at all times.
• He is always concerned about our well being,
  even when we insist on doing things our own way.

3
Knowing that He is observing us should help us
guard against anything that would displease Him.

• Have you ever been picked on by a bully?
• Have you ever been the bully picking on someone?

4
Frank Peretti said in his book Wounded Spirit,
that the wounded spirit is borne by many, yet it
cant often be seen.

• Many stop trying when they have been made fun of
  or mentally abused.

5
Some people carry deep scars and suffer in
silence.

• Jesus Christ was taunted and spit on.
• He was perfect without sin.
• But still they hated Him.

6
Mr. Peretti says in his book that the message a
bully sends is mockery of Gods handiwork, a lie
that slanders Gods nature and negates His love
for us.

• Isnt it reassuring to know that we can never
  wander away from His protecting gaze!

7
We should humbly allow our sorrows to draw us
closer to the Savior.

• Some will choose to retaliate.
• Others will turn for help.
• By yielding to Him, our tears can become
  nourishment for our souls.
