SNS 096: The Profoundness of Blessings Psalm 67

Can I just say that moving is one of my least favorite things in the world to do? But for the past two weeks, that’s where I have been, moving. But thankfully, that is all behind us now. I apologize that it got in the way of getting this episode to you an episode last week. But we’re back, we’re moving, and here we go with episode 96. Thank you for understanding. Enjoy.

Now, can I just say, concerning this Psalm, that the thing that impressed me most in this concise poem is that the Psalmist covers so much ground? This is perhaps the shortest Psalm we have ever done, but it is absolutely full of information. It is all about blessings—God’s blessing his people and the Psalmist celebrating that blessing. Yet, instead of quickly passing over this psalm and relegating it to a simple psalm about God’s blessings, let’s take a moment to steep in what is actually being said. When we do this, we find that it reveals something profoundly profound about those blessings. Well, I tell you what, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it.  

Also, before beginning, this podcast is sponsored by our book, Psalms 1-72, A Simple Not Shallow Presentation. This book collects the Psalms heard on the Psalm Tuesday episodes. And it presents them in a manner that helps reveal the prayerfulness of the Psalms. That is exciting! I’ve provided a couple of links in the show notes for this episode. One to my website where you can learn more about this book and another to where it is located on Amazon.com, and one more, to its location on Barnes and Noble.com, just for your convenience. So, go ahead and collect your copy today. 

And now, my name is Charles, and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This podcast is for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which we will listen to a psalm being read in a manner that honors its original use as part of a worship service. Here in episode #96, we are listening to Psalm 67. 

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

SNS 095: Psalm Tuesday, The Moving Episode ~ Psalm 36 Revisited

Welcome to the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This is Psalm Tuesday, where we read a different Psalm each Tuesday in a manner meant to honor its original use in a worship service. But this week, we are doing things just a little differently. This is because I’m in the middle of moving, and this has left me no time to prepare a new episode. So, we are going to revisit a listener favorite. It is episode 64, The Source of All Life and Living, which is a reading of Psalm 36. It is the most popular episode to date. Next week, if the move goes well, we’ll get back where we left off, with Psalm 67, which will be a brand new episode. Also, can I just share something with you? I am not a fan of moving, not a fan at all. It’s a pain, very hectic, you lose time and the ability to do things, and this time, added to that, the most annoying something has happened. My new place, which I do like gave, quite a bit, has given me a senior discount. Me, a senior discount. Life can be so unfair. The discount is nice; I’ll take it, but senior…. Oh brother. 

Anyway, let us move on, back to our revisiting episode 64, The Source of All Life and Living. Enjoy.

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

SNS 094: Praising God for What? Psalm 66

Can I just say that of all the things I was expecting to find in a Psalm of praise, the psalmist praises God for something that wasn't even on the radar? It caught me entirely by surprise. Though, it does make perfect sense. He is praising God for refining his faith through a similar process to which silver is refined. Silver has to have the impurities burned out of it in order to be pure, and that fire is very hot. Another way this could be said is that he is praising God for disciplining him and helping him grow in his faith. And yes, doing so through the fiery ordeals of his current situation and pain. I know, right? Yet, this does align with what is said of this discipline in the New Testament. That is simply mind-blowing. Now look, well, I tell you what, 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 093: Praise and Quietness? Psalm 65

Can I just say that what struck me most in this psalm is that praise for God need not always be loud or super energetic in tone? That there can be a quiet and peaceful certainty in our honoring God.

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.
