Have you ever been reading the Bible, and then all of the sudden have something simply jump off the page at you? Something that just demands your attention? This is what happened to me during the preparation for this particular episode. I was recording Psalm 33, which we’ll hear in just a moment, and all of the sudden, this one phrase in the very middle of the Psalm, well, approximately the middle of the Psalm, all of the sudden lept out calling attention to itself. It seemed to be telling us just how much God does love and value his People. And as I thought about this phrase, it seemed to open up some insight into a prayer Jesus made on our behalf in John 17. Now, I’ll tell you what, before we get into any of that, it might be nice for you to hear the Psalm first, so you know what I’m referencing. So, let’s listen now, we’ll chat more afterward.

For now, 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.

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
