The Lesson for this Sunday, Oct. 31 is titled "Creating a Renewed Trust"

Key Verse:  Psalm 73:26

Focus of the Lesson:  Many people get discouraged over injustices in the world. What can we do to regain our perspective? The psalms show how trust in God was renewed through worship and how God deserves our thanks.

The reading is Psalm 73:1-3, 12-13, 16-18, and 21-26, this text is from the New Revised Standard Version.

1 Truly God is good to the upright, to those who are pure in heart.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
3 For I was envious of the arrogant; I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
12 Such are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches.
13 All in vain I have kept my heart clean and washed my hands in innocence.
16 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task,
17 until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I perceived their end.
18 Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin.
21 When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart,
22 I was stupid and ignorant; I was like a brute beast toward you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you; you hold my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me with honor.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
