Devotional: Psalm 69:1-29

Today’s passage: Psalm 69:1-29

Helpful thoughts:

  • Though David wrote this Psalm about himself, it points toward Christ.  This is a Messianic psalm and is referred to several times in the New Testament.
  • In this instance, David was innocent.  But, he was not entirely innocent.
    • Christ was entirely innocent.
      • There is injustice in this world, but Christ has overcome the world.
  • There is purpose in suffering.  And that purpose reaches far beyond just you and me.

Questions to consider:

  1. What elements of this psalm point us to Christ?  What parts sound familiar to you from the New Testament? (If you have a reference or study Bible, use it!)
  2. According to verse 7, for whose sake was David’s/Christ’s suffering?  How was God glorified by the cross?
  3. How could God be glorified in our suffering?
  4. Why is it right and best to turn to Him in times of injustice?
