A devotional on 2 Samuel 6 by Kyle Newcomer.
If you'd like to watch a video of this morning's devotional on 2 Samuel 6 with extremely low production value, you can do that here. If you'd prefer the audio, you can find that here or in the podcast feed.
Here are a few discussion question to go with the devotional.
1. As you encounter worries during these days, are you taking them to the Lord? If not, what's keeping you from prayer?
2. What are you thankful for? Spend some time praying to God and thanking him for his gifts.
3. How can you cultivate a heart of thanksgiving for the gospel? What are some gospel promises that you find especially encouraging today?
4. What does pride look like in your inner monologue? How is pride expressed in your actions and words? For a starting point, you might think through the examples of Uzzah (a well-meaning ignoring of God's commands), Michal (cynically despising humility), and David (anger that God disrupted your plans). Does your pride tend to resemble one of those three?
5. How does pride keep you from joy in Christ? How does pride keep you from loving others?
6. What would it look like for you to humbly rejoice?
Sing "It is Well" as a way to express your thanks for the peace that comes through Christ's work.
