Pressing On

Secure your hope in the presence of your heavenly Father tonight. 

This week, the Discover the Word group focuses on Psalm 16–A Psalm of Trust. So, what does it really mean to “trust God,” and how do we know if we’re doing so? Vivian dives into this Psalm of David with Daniel and Elisa and Rasool, to discover how struggle and opposition can drive us to a deeper sense of God’s presence, and a trust that He is out for our good.

Come and know the One who is with you in all things and willing to bring life and purity to every area.

Rest with the One who wields all authority; everything must submit to His all-powerful words.

Find forgiveness and freedom in the presence of the God of all grace tonight.

Surrender your busy mind and whirring thoughts to the Lord this evening, letting Him care for you through Philippians 2.

Come humbly tonight to reflect on 1 peter 5 so that your generous God may lift you up in His grace.

Guest Bio: Whitney Lowe is an author who wants to see young women excited about God’s work: in the Bible, in history, in the world, and in them. She writes and creates on Instagram, previously known as Scribble Devos, a project born from the realization that young women simply do not interact with the Bible enough to be changed by its truth. Whitney is passionate about disrupting the toxic scroll of social media with hope, peace, and light straight from Scripture. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband, who is a pastor, and their two young children. 

Psalm 86 will help you bring your whole heart before the Lord, allowing Him to fill you with His presence.

How do you respond when you sin? Embarrassment? Shame? Horror? Or denial, hiding, running away? Some respond with confession and reception of grace. Scripture shows a variety of responses in Peter, Thomas, John Mark, the “sinful woman” and even Judas and we can learn from each. And what about when people don’t respond by receiving Jesus’ provision for sin?
