Day 10: Psalm 50:1-15 – The just judge

What response do you think the opening phrase deserves in v1?

In this half of the psalm we see God summoning his people. Why and for what reason?

Why does God testify, “I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens”?

If God is not bloodthirsty what is the point of these offerings and sacrifices?

We now know that God has dealt with sin in Jesus (Rom 3:25), how does this psalm along with 1 John 1:9 comfort and make you thankful to God?

Prayer points:

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've been challenged by from your reading and reflection today
