Love and Wisdom (Psalm 107 | John 1:14)

Godly wisdom teaches us to recognize God’s love in his discipline and to give thanks for it.

• Consider the Steadfast Love of the Lord (vv. 1-3, 43)

• God’s Love Demonstrated (vv. 4-32)

• God’s Love Embodied (vv. 8, 15, 21, 31; cf. John 1:14)

• Walking in Wisdom (vv. 33-43)

Discussion Starters

Monday—Verse 43 tells us to consider the steadfast love of the Lord. What does it mean to consider something? Why does it take effort to understand God’s love?

Tuesday—Why do each of the four episodes in this psalm say, “Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress”? (vv. 6, 13, 19, 28) Why do each of them say, “Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!”? (vv. 8, 15, 21, 31)

Wednesday—What are some ways that Jesus embodied the language from Psalm 107? What does it mean that he is “God’s love embodied”? Read John 1:14.

Thursday—Read Psalm 107:38. Why is important to point out that all the blessings listed in this psalm are God’s? How can this help when you think there is no way God could love you when your stuck in sin?

Friday—What does it mean to “walk in wisdom”? Read 1 Corinthians 1:20-25. What are some ways that God’s wisdom is different than the world’s wisdom? How does this change the way you see the world?
