Scripture Union Daily Guide 15th May 2026 Outline
In this Psalm, the Psalmist contrasts the living God with lifeless idols, calling on Israel to trust in God alone. Why should we give all glory to God (Psalms 115:1)? We are often tempted to attribute our achievements to our efforts or fellow men, but Psalms 115:1 reminds us that all the glory should be given to God because of His love and faithfulness to us. When Israel experienced calamity, the nations mocked Israel, asking “Where is their God?” (Psalms 115:2). How does it feel, when we face such mockery today?
Read Psalms 115:3-8 again and observe the Psalmist’s response to the mockery of the enemies. What can we learn from this response? Whatever the situation we are going through, we should know that our God is in control and actively accomplishing his purposes, even when the enemies mock us because of our situation (Psalms 115:3). Trusting in man-made idols ends in futility and shame. Our modern “idols” such as wealth, power, or status, are not different. They can give temporary satisfaction but cannot save. But if we trust solely in the living God (Psalms 115:9-11), our blessings are guaranteed (Psalms 115:12-13).
And So
God alone deserves your worship and trust. Reject anything that seeks to take His rightful place in your heart.
Closing Prayer
Dear Lord, I praise you for your unconditional love and faithfulness to me. May I not share in your glory or give your glory to idols or fellow human.
