New Day Dawning: A Morning Psalm, Day 2

Theme: A World of Foes
 
In this week’s studies we learn how David overcame his adversaries by committing himself into the Lord’s protection.
 
Scripture: Psalm 3:1-8

Theme: A Confident Cry for Deliverance
 
In this week’s studies we learn how David overcame his adversaries by committing himself into the Lord’s protection.

Wednesday: Struck Down, but Not Destroyed

Theme: Imprecations on the Wicked
In this week’s lessons, we learn about God’s triumph for his people over persecutions.
Scripture: Psalm 129:1-8
