7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Take a moment to slow down. Breathe. Invite God into this space. He’s already here, waiting to speak to your heart.

2. 📅 June 17, 2025

Today is a new day. Let’s meet God through His Word.

3. ✝️ Psalm 76:1–12

This psalm is a powerful reminder that God is not only merciful—He is also mighty and just. He defends His people, brings down the proud, and deserves our reverent awe. He is not to be taken lightly.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“But you, you are to be feared!
Who can stand before you
when once your anger is roused?” (v. 7)

5. 📝 Reflection

We love to talk about God’s love—and we should. But sometimes we forget: God is also holy, powerful, and just.

He’s not just a comforting presence; He’s a righteous King who judges evil and calls His people to live differently.

In a world that often celebrates pride, compromise, and self-centeredness, God calls us to live with integrity, humility, and holiness.

Not out of fear of punishment, but out of reverence for who He is.

So today, remember:

  • God’s mercy doesn’t cancel His justice—they go hand in hand.
  • Living for God means taking His Word seriously, even when it’s hard.
  • Holiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about being set apart for Him.

6. 💬 What does this passage speak to you today?

  • How do you balance God’s mercy and His justice in your view of Him?
  • Are there areas in your life where you’ve grown too casual with God’s holiness?
  • What would it look like to live “set apart” in your daily choices?

Let’s pray for hearts that revere God—not just for what He gives, but for who He is. May we live lives that reflect His holiness.

Scriptures

📖 1  In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. 2  His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. 3  There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah

4 Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains full of prey. 5  The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. 6  At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both rider and horse lay stunned.

7 But you, you are to be feared! Who can stand before you when once your anger is roused? 8  From the heavens you uttered judgment; the earth feared and was still, 9  when God arose to establish judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. Selah

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you; the remnant of wrath you will put on like a belt. 11 Make your vows to the LORD your God and perform them; let all around him bring gifts to him who is to be feared, 12 who cuts off the spirit of princes, who is to be feared by the kings of the earth (Ps 76:1-12, ESV).
