The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry”.  God’s care for us, in Christ, is better than we can imagine.

Application Questions:

2. When you consider this Psalm, what comes to mind when you imagine the Lord’s eyes being on you and his ears attentive to your cry?  Does this evoke a negative reaction in your heart or positive?  Or both?  Why?

3. Whom do you think David is referring to when he uses the term “righteous”?  Explain.

4. What are some specific circumstances where you and/or the group can enter into the world of the “broken-hearted” and be a conduit of rescue for those who are “crushed in Spirit”?

5. We all “manage” our sin to some extent at different points in our lives, what comes to your mind when you consider areas you’ve personally managed your own sin?  Have you ever spent time reflecting on this issue?
