• Bible Text: Psalm 73:18-24 (ESV)

  ¹⁸ Truly you set them in slippery places;

  you make them fall to ruin.

  ¹⁹ How they are destroyed in a moment,

  swept away utterly by terrors!

  ²⁰ Like a dream when one awakes,

  O Lord, when you rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.

  ²¹ When my soul was embittered,

  when I was pricked in heart,

  ²² I was brutish and ignorant;

  I was like a beast toward you.

  ²³ Nevertheless, I am continually with you;

  you hold my right hand.

  ²⁴ You guide me with your counsel,

  and afterward you will receive me to glory.

As you answer your questions, engage in personal reflection and respond to how God is using the passage to speak to you today.  (You can refer to the Inductive Bible Study guidelines at the top of this page.)
