Moving from Dullness to Delight in God- Applying Psalm 103

The Delight of Remembering and Responding to the Kindnesses of God 

Here are a few questions I came up with that you might find helpful as you seek the apply the sermon from this past Sunday.

1. What passages of Scripture have you most often found encouraged you in the love, goodness, and mercy of God? (ex. Romans 8:28-ff)
2. When you feel slow of heart in praising God, what practical things can you do to stir your soul up towards God?
3. What gets in the way of your remembering God's benefits towards you?
4. Why should you "talk to yourself"? How can this help you delight in praising God?
5. How have you seen pride kill the joy of praise in your life?
6. Reflect on the 3 comparisons made in Psalm 103:11-14. How do these help you bless the Lord?
7. How is recognizing your frailty something which can actually further (not frustrate) your joy in God? (vv. 15-18)

Hope this helps you. If you missed the sermon it might be good to watch or listen to it prior to trying to answer the application questions (or at least read the Psalm).
