Title: "The right relationship makes all the difference"

1. Who did Andy tell the kids he met on his recent trip to Germany? Have you ever met a famous person? In what way is that a parallel to David in Psalm five and who he knew? Read vv. 2-3. What do we learn about David’s core identity? This identity didn’t remove

David’s troubles, but what did it do for him? How is that deepened even more in vv. 4-6?

2. Read vv. 8-10. What character qualities define God’s enemies in these verses? Read Matthew 5:43-47 and 2 Timothy 3:1-5. How can we love all people - including our enemies - and still avoid those who would influence us away from God? Share about an unhealthy relationship in the past you chose to distance yourself from for your own good?

3. Read vv. 11-12. What kinds of things define a friend of God? What blessings are promised to such a person? Share about a person whose friendship helps you grow closer to the Lord.
