Fear Homework

Fear Homework assignment:

• Photocopy Psalm 18 and highlight all the possessive pronouns in the chapter.
• Write a short paragraph on why David is using so many possessive pronouns.
• Make a second list of every description David uses for the Lord (i.e. my strength).
• How many times does David call the Lord his rock?
• Is the Lord your rock in this way? Describe briefly why not? Describe briefly what in your life is your rock? Make a list of everything in your life that is a relief for you or a place of safety or comfort during troubled times?
• Pray through these various lists confessing anything and everything in your life to the Lord that has been your false rock or your false hope that you have placed your security in or hope in to the Lord. Confess this as sin, as worship of a false or “other” god.
• Commit to the Lord to place Him in His rightful, sovereign place in your life.
• Each evening before you go to sleep review these lists briefly and reread Psalm 18 and pray again confessing again where you have misplaced your trust and hope during the day. The goal of this is the get you to retrain your mind and heart to place your entire hope, security and life in the loving hands of your creator.
