SNS 047: God's Word; Sweeter Than Honey, Much That Is Gained. Psalm 19, Psalm Tuesday

In this episode, the Psalmist shares how God’s teachings and commands are good things; how they bring what Jesus will call an abundance of life. Let’s listen how the Psalmist describes them as life giving, joy bringing, and life enhancing. Why they are more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey off the comb. And, 

What’s more,

By them your servant is made alert.

By them your servant can hear and heed a warning.

In observing them,

In living them out,

There is much that is gained.

And wait until you hear what that “much that is gained” refers to. Being kept humble so that sin does not control us. That is amazing.

SNS 046: Treated as You Treat Others, Psalm 18, Psalm Tuesday

In this episode, the Psalmist says many things. But there are two things which stand out to me: 1st:  

With the strong, and the blameless, and the honest man,

You prove yourself blameless and honest.

Yet, to those who are violent,

 You will act violently.

And with the twisted and the false,

You prove full of twists and turns.

For you help the humble,

But the arrogant you humiliate.

That God treats people for who they are. Isn’t that intriguing. And 2nd is that a life of faith is reliance on God while we are doing things. The life of faith isn’t a life waiting around for magic to happen, for a fairy god-father to wave his wand and presto all is right. It is a faith where you work things out, as you do what you can, and simultaneously trusting God to take care of what you cannot. Faith in God is not to be a lazy faith. Well…
