Life's full of choices, isn't it? The funny thing is, even when we don't intentionally choose a response, we have still made a choice. Vertical Worship's song, "Yes I Will," reminds us that we can choose to bless the Lord at all times. King David made that choice, and this week we explore one of the songs he wrote to remind himself of God's faithfulness.

Evaluating our choice to "bless the Lord at all times" - Psalm 34:1 Breaking apart the results of your choices (once the dust has settled) How the ultimate level of maturity come when you make predetermined choices Examining Psalm 34 section by section     Additional Resources Lyrics and chords - Essential Worship A Teaching Moment behind "Yes I Will" by Vertical Worship - YouTube Video This Week's Challenge Take up residence in Psalm 34 this week. Ponder what you've learned about choices while learning much about the character of God in this psalm. Make lists and consider the repetitive phrases/ideas in this psalm (there are more than we discussed on the podcast). Talk to someone about what you've been studying (that's another BITE by the way). Finally, let it sink in that you're choosing...whether you're choosing to bless the Lord at all times, sometimes, or not at all...you're choosing. Will you choose to bless the Lord this week? Will you place HIS praise on your lips today?
