Sermon: Rest For the Weary
Text: Psalm 3
Psalm 3 gives us a song for the nights when fear, regret, and accusation refuse to let us rest. David is surrounded by enemies, burdened by the consequences of his own failures, and confronted with the devastating claim that God will no longer save him. Yet faith answers what it sees and hears with three decisive words: “But you, O LORD.”
Psalm 3 does not promise that our troubles will disappear overnight. But it does assure us that God is our shield, glory, and the lifter of our heads.
Discussion Questions for Individuals and Families
-
Read the superscription and verses 1-2. This psalm was written “when he fled from Absalom his son,” the fallout of a crisis that began years earlier. Thumb through portions of 2 Samuel 12-19 for the fuller background. Who was Absalom? What was happening in the background to this Psalm?
-
In verses 1-2, David tells us what he is seeing with his eyes and hearing with his ears. If you were in David’s place, what effect would those sights and sounds have on you?
-
Read verse 3. David calls the LORD his “shield,” his “glory,” and “the lifter of my head.” Which of these descriptions encourages you the most today, and why?
-
Read verses 5-6. David sleeps peacefully even though his enemies are still surrounding him. What gave David peace, and what does that teach us about trusting God?
-
David ends the psalm by declaring, “Salvation belongs to the LORD.” How does Jesus’ death and resurrection help us know those words are true?
