SNS 092: But Sovereign God, Psalm 64

Can I just say that I have found three profoundly beautiful words of encouragement in this psalm? They are, “But Sovereign God.” Three little words that say so much. Indeed, when life is out of hand, the pain faced is real, and the attitude of those causing the pain is, at best, callous, then these words are very encouraging indeed. Well, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it.  

Also, before beginning, I am proud to say that this podcast is now sponsored by our book, Psalms 1-72, A Simple Not Shallow Presentation.

SNS 084: A Long Day’s Journey into Trust, Psalm 56

Can I say that I find comfort in hearing of another person’s long journey into trust? I don’t know about you, but I only too well identify with the journey the psalmist shares with us here. It is one, which starts with head knowledge – knowing where he needs to be in his faith, knowing where he wants to be in it, and it ends with this knowledge becoming an essential part of his life. The “a-ha” moment, if you will. So, where do I see this? Well, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it.

Can I just say, one of the most satisfying things I have ever experienced is being trusted by other people?
