| First notice the structure by following the action. One thing you should notice is that the verse breaks in the wrong place. Please note that chapter breaks and verse breaks were done by Robert Stephanus in the 16th century and he had no idea what he was doing and unfortunately they stuck. Verse 5 should begin with “In them he has set…”. If you look closely, you will notice that a person can sing the first line of the song and then the choir responds. This is repeated with both the leader and choir singing the last line together: “whose voice is not heard.” There is a middle part where the leader sings and the choir responds. Then there the final part which is a repeat of the first – leader, response, leader, response, both: “and there sin nothing hidden from its heat.” From this structure you can make out the meaning or point of this song. So what is the point of this song? | I'm having a hard time understanding this question and what it's referring to. Add Comment |

Add Comment |
| Notice verse 30. The last phrase is, “disobedient to parents.” How is not respecting those in authority over you – your parents – an example of not clearly seeing and acknowledging God for who He is. | When you get told by your parents to do something, you don't want to do it. Well its kind of the same with god, he tells you to do something and most people wont want to do it. Not respecting others that have authority of you can decrease your chance of learned from others. Add Comment |
| Pay close attention to Romans 1:19-21. Why do people not clearly see God and what He is like by what has been made? | Because some people just focus on them selves and don't know what is going on all around them. They don't see clearly about god's greatest work and what it means to him. Add Comment |
| So go outside on a clear night in a dark place and look up and ask yourself: “What do I learn about the being who made all this?” | I learn that, the universe is big there is a lot to see and god made us to witness all of his creations and have us reflect on them. Add Comment |

| Verse 4 is a bit odd. That seems strange. Read Ephesians 4:17-27. The word for anger here is not “be mad” but rather be in awe of God. A better word is fear, or revere. Often when we stew over something we leave God out of it. How would fearing God (trusting, turn it over to God) prevent us from sinning when we are angry at someone and it is keeping us awake? | It can help by giving him all your fear, anxiety, struggles, and etc. because giving him all of these and trusting that he will take care of it will strengthen your bond and make your relationship with god so much stronger Add Comment |

Lord, please have me be able to do my chores without being upset. It's a priority when I'm this age to have chores. So that I get a feel of what it is like when I'm an adult. Please have me work on this, in Jesus's name I pray, amen Add Comment |
