Reflection Questions:

1) Do you ever doubt that things are going to work out for you? Why is that? With whom do you share your doubts? Read Psalm 56 and see how (and with whom) David shared his doubts.

2) How does Paul answer the accusations and possible condemnations (vv33-34) in this passage? Did Paul have a lot of things that could have condemned him, or was Paul (formerly called Saul) a pretty good guy? Read Acts 8-9; Acts 13:9; 1 Timothy 1:12-17.

3) Have you ever wondered why Paul has such confidence in the security of God’s love? Did Jesus say or do something to make his people think that? See John 10:27-30; 11:25-26, 43-44; 20:24-31.
