In this Psalm, the Psalmist shares something profound. He shares that trusting God involves doing so even when your emotions have turned you upside-down. It involves telling God you know he is in control and that he has your back, and, at the same time, telling him that everything is not good. That, as things stand, they are depressing and a source of great grief. And asking him to change the situation, to rescue you from these sources of pain. In other words, it involves knowing that you are secure even while you are feeling anything but. There is an interesting note to add, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s listen to the Psalm and then I’ll share this thought that I find quite intriguing.
Well, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This is a podcast for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is series in which, each Tuesday, we will listen to a Psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. In this episode, we are reading Psalm 31.
So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
