How do proper fear and reverence for God go hand in hand with hearing His guidance? How should we approach God for this guidance and then how should we expect to hear Him? These are the topics Dr. Deb speaks on this week by looking at David's prayer in Psalm 25.

God has not forgotten you! This is what David would say to so many believers today who just feel like God is so very far away during their moments of distress. He hasn't forgotten you and He is working on your behalf. These are the focal points of part 2 of Dr. Deb's lesson on Psalm 13, "How Can I Feel Intimate when God feels Distant?"

How can I feel intimate with God when He feels so distant from me? The is the question Dr. Waterbury looks at in this first part of a two-part message on Psalm 13. David cried out to God asking how long would he feel so separated from his Father. Every believer goes through these times and there is great comfort in God's Word for us when we do.

We know that God is sufficient against the raging of nature, the rebels of this earth, and against the raging of nations. In this week's lesson, Part 2 of "Knowing God as My Refuge," Dr. Waterbury continues her study of Psalm 46 by speaking on God's sufficiency as well as some practical ways we can live this knowledge out in our day to day lives.

God truly is our refuge and our fortress in times of trouble. So why don't we go to Him first when calamity strikes? Dr. Waterbury begins a two-part lesson on Psalm 46, looking at what Hezekiah exclaims and what Martin Luther wrote on: "A Mighty Fortress is our God."

Why is it that Christians can trust God and all that He promises He will do? What is it about His character that makes this trust not only possible but also viable? In Part 2 of this lesson Psalm 31, Dr. Waterbury discusses God's sovereignty and His intimate love for us, both of which make Him worthy and deserving of our trust.

What a wonderful thing to understand that it is because of God's greatness and His awesome omnipotence that He seeks intimacy with us! Dr. Waterbury looks at how David explains this in Psalm 103, giving us comfort that we have no reason to try to hide from God because He knows us. It's because He knows us that He seeks us! How beautiful!

Do you really trust God with your future? How do we develop the faith that we are called to as Christians? In this first part of the a two-part lesson on Psalm 31, Dr. Waterbury looks at Psalm 31 and how as David lamented his days, he still shows us how we can trust our loving Father in all things. He loves us and He will take care of us.

It is vitally important that we truly understand the greatness of God before we can ever seek intimacy with Him. After all, how can you have this sort of relationship with someone without really knowing who that person is? Dr. Waterbury begins this two part lesson by looking at how David describes God's greatness in Psalm 86.

It is an amazing thing to be intimately known by our Creator. Do you find comfort and strength in that truth? Dr. Waterbury finishes this two-part lesson on Psalm 139 by looking at both God's omnipotence as well as our necessary response to it.
