SNS 071: Remembering the Who (not the band or the doctor), Psalm 43, Psalm Tuesday

Can I just say that some things bear repeating? At least, the Psalmist seems to think so for he tells us once again how to have peace in midst of sorrow. It is by remembering who God is and what he has already done. Then trusting him to do so again. Trusting the one we know through remembering who he is. Well… let’s hear the psalm first, shall we? We’ll touch base afterwards. Oh, and there is an exciting announcement I’ll share at the end of this episode.

So, 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.

SNS 070: How To Have Peace in Midst of Troubles

Can I just say that, once again, one of the most amazing things in reading these psalms, is how they speak to me as if written with me in mind? Being at peace even in the exact middle of some rather unpeaceful situations. What an amazing experience. Just how is this done? Well… let’s first hear the psalm shall we. Then we can see if you agree or not.

SNS 069: Certainty in Trying Times, Psalm 41, Psalm Tuesday

Can I just say that it is so easy to read this psalm, number 41, and simply think, “Ok, this is just another cry for help?” Yet…. Yet, by slowing down just a bit and letting this poem sink in; I find this to be a praise of certainty. Yes, even in his trying ordeal, the psalmist stays certain. Certain of his position with God and of God’s love for him. Oh, we could explore that for hours. But rather than that, let’s just hear the psalm, shall we?

SNS 068: Who Makes the Lemonade? Psalm 40, Psalm Tuesday

Ever hear that old saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?” This is what this Psalm brought to mind. Though, in truth, it is more like, “When life gives you lemons, remember who actually is making lemonade.” Now, can I just say… well, before we get going; let’s first hear the psalm, shall we? Which is Psalm 40.

SNS 067: The Emptiness of Life without God's Forgiveness, Psalm 39, Psalm Tuesday

Can I just say that I find this psalm to be most interesting, most interesting indeed? Ever think it best not to say anything about something only to have the matter consume your attention, to burn within so to speak? When it moves to the forefront of your mind and will not let you go? Well, in this psalm David starts out by telling us about one such of his experiences. He begins by saying that he was determined to keep his mouth shut. He was going to take the high road and wasn’t going to be guilty of spouting off at the mouth when he shouldn’t be. And he was successful at doing this for a little while, but it didn’t do him much good at all; for this caused him great pain and he began to burn from the need to speak about it. In short, he was finding life empty and meaningless while the only source of meaningfulness was God. In God’s forgiveness… well, let’s hear the psalm before we go further. See ya on the other side.

But for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast.
