SNS 038: When God Seems Distant, Psalm 10, Psalm Tuesday
In this episode, the Psalmist asks, “Why, my Lord, do you stay so distant? Why do you shut your eyes to times of need?” One of the beautiful things about the Bible is that it doesn’t candy-coat things. It is always brutally honest and candid. Join the Psalmist as he works his way through these questions, as he shares valid reasons for needing an answer, and then as he calls on God to act and fix things. Then follow on as his remembrance of who God is leads to a certainty of knowing that God isn’t truly shutting his eyes and ignoring the evil. That he is taking care of those who love him.
