HOW DO WE GLORIFY GOD IN OUR CAVES?
I. God is glorified as we trust Him in our cAVE SEASONS (57:1‑6)
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.
Psalms 57:1
Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,

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.

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