Step 1: Pray and Prepare
Invite the Holy Spirit into your time, asking Him to teach you and speak to your heart. Turn over anything that may be distracting you.
Before starting the next step, take a few minutes to prepare. Read over the notes you've taken this week to refresh your memory on the Psalms.
Step 2: Observe
Read Psalm 27 multiple times for comprehension. Write down what you observe and any questions that come up as you read.
Step 3: Seek Out
Now read other translations, commentaries, or study Bible notes to check your work from Step 2, gain further insight into the passage, and answer any remaining questions you have.
Step 4: Take Action
· What does Psalm 27 teach you about God and following Him?
· What is God saying to you as you read His Word and listen to His voice?
· What do you need to do to obey?
Study Tip: Many modern singers have taken the words of the Psalms, which were originally songs, and put them to music again. If you’re someone who has an easier time memorizing song lyrics than written words, try listening to a song based on Psalm 27.
As you listen, compare the lyrics you hear to the words of the Psalm. Which verses are included or left out? What passage might a song help you to memorize the words better?
