Caveman Theology - Part 3 | Psalm 57 - Trusting God in the Cave

Psalms 57:11 NIV

1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV

HOW DO WE GLORIFY GOD IN OUR CAVES?

I. God is glorified as we trust Him in our cAVE SEASONS (57:1‑6)

A. TRUST INVOLVES RELYING UPON GOD ALONE (57:1)

Psalms 57:1

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,

for in you I take refuge.

I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings

until the disaster has passed.

Relying upon God alone means that we consciously do not rely upon two things:

We do not rely on human merit.

We do not rely on human means.

B. TRUST INVOLVES GOING TO GOD IN PRAYER (57:1‑2).

Psalms 57:1-2 NIV

C. TRUST INVOLVES SEEING GOD AS GREATER THAN THE PROBLEMS OF MY CAVES (57:4-6).

Psalms 57:4-6

I am in the midst of lions;

I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts—

men whose teeth are spears and arrows,

whose tongues are sharp swords.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

let your glory be over all the earth.

They spread a net for my feet—

I was bowed down in distress.

They dug a pit in my path—

but they have fallen into it themselves.

Psalms 57:4-6 NIV

HOW DO WE GLORIFY GOD IN OUR CAVES?

A. PRAISE IS A MATTER OF DELIBERATE FOCUS (57:7-9).
