**Hiyori and Akari could not join
Passage: Psalms 10
What We Learned:
Ko
I learned how I should not think that the verses on the “wicked” do not apply to me. Anyone is susceptible. God has been teaching me recently through Masami-san how I should always ask him whenever making a decision. This will help me to always seek his will instead of trying to do things according to my own fleshly calculations.
Kana:
She realized that David wrote this passage to caution us that we can become blind sometimes. At the same time, he also wants us to know that when we do become blind, God is still there. She’s learned that when we are blind, we end up trying to do things on our own which tends to make our situation worse. Nevertheless, God is always there, so that we can come back to him.
Seiyu:
He learned that even when it may seem as though God has abandoned him, he is there. Nevertheless, he is silent sometimes because he wants to teach Seiyu something or make him stronger.
Prayer:
Kana suggested that we pray for God’s protection of the entire youth (‘youth’ includes the juniors and little children as well) this summer (this is based on what Masami-san has said about how summer is a time where children [young and old] become especially vulnerable to spiritual drift) so that we do not fall into Satan’s temptations.
Scripture: Matthew 6:13, Psalm 91
