This Week’s Theme: Praise Him for His Righteousness
Memory Verse: Psalm 7:17 “17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.”
This Week’s Word is God’s Righteousness: God’s righteousness means that God always acts in accordance with what is right and is Himself the final standard of what is right.
Essence of the Text in a Sentence: David trusted in God to act according to His righteousness, given his situation.
Sermon Objective: I want those in attendance to stop trying to fix people, fight their battles, and handle the situations of life and trust in the righteousness of God.
Sermon Text: Psalm 7
Psalm 7 NKJV
A Meditation Concerning the Words of Cush, a Benjamite. 1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me, 2 Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands, 4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause, 5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah 6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded! 7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high. 8 The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me. 9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds. 10 My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready. 13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts. 14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown. 17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

Are you guilty of trying to fix your situations? Will you right now confess your sins to the LORD?

WHAT IS THE SAINTS’ RESPONSE?

When you face the attacks of others, Don’t fight, Don’t handle it
Iniquity? Don’t worry
Injustices? Don’t worry
Insulted? Don’t worry
Indignity? Don’t worry
Injury? Don’t worry

17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Are you really trusting God to handle your life?
How do those within your sphere of influence know this?
Will you right now confess your sins to the LORD?
Will you repent (turn from) of your sins today?
Actions speak louder than words, name the Christians you will tell your sins to and those who you will look to for accountability
