7-Step QT Notes

1. 🙏 Quiet Time

Pause.

Take a deep breath.

Even if you feel distant from God, even if joy feels out of reach—He is still near.

He delights in being with you.

2. 📅 July 5, 2025

Today is a new invitation—not to perform for God, but to enjoy Him.

Bring your whole self—your questions, your gratitude, your weariness—into His presence.

3. ✝️ Psalm 89:1–18

This psalm is a celebration of who God is.

It’s not about what we’ve done for Him—but about His unshakable love, His faithfulness, and His power.

It reminds us that God’s promises are trustworthy, even when life feels uncertain.

4. 📖 Key Verse

“They rejoice in your name all day long;
they celebrate your righteousness.” (v.16, NIV)

5. 📝 Reflection

We often think our job is to make God happy—by doing more, trying harder, being better.

But Psalm 89 flips that idea upside down.

God didn’t create us to impress Him.

He created us to enjoy Him.

💡 Think about this:

  • What if your purpose isn’t to strive, but to celebrate?
  • What if God is most glorified when you find joy in who He is?
  • What if worship isn’t just a Sunday thing—but a daily rhythm of delight?

The Westminster Catechism says:

“Man’s chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him for ever.”

That’s your calling today:

Not to earn God’s love—but to live in it.

Not to prove yourself—but to rejoice in His name.

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

  • What helps you enjoy God—not just serve Him?
  • Where do you need to stop striving and start celebrating?
  • How can you build rhythms of joy into your daily life?

“Lord, help me to enjoy You today.

Not just to serve You, but to celebrate who You are.

Teach me to rejoice in Your name—not just on the good days, but every day.”

Scriptures

📖 1  I will sing of the steadfast love of the LORD, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. 2  For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.” 3  You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: 4  ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.’ ” Selah

5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! 6  For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD, 7  a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? 8  O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O LORD, with your faithfulness all around you? 9  You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them. 10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm. 11 The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them. 12 The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name. 13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand. 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you. 15 Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, 16 who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. 17 For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted. 18 For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel (Ps 89:1-18, ESV).
