SNS 035: Personal Choices and Fairness, Psalm 7, Psalm Tuesday

Personal choices, personal consequences, and fairness. Do you see how these go together? In our last episode, we mentioned the fairness of God in dealing with folks. In this one, the psalmist fleshes this out a little bit. In this psalm, Psalm 7, we see the weapons of God being equated with a person’s own choices; with the traps they lay for others. Isn’t that intriguing? And the Psalmist is content to let God manage the process. He asks God to take care of it and lets it go; trusting that God will do so. Is this another source of the peace and strength needed to lay down, sleep, and awaken that we’ve mentioned in previous episodes? Anyway…

SNS 034: Honesty; Simple, Bold Honesty. Psalm 6, Psalm Tuesday

Honesty. Simple, bold honesty. Do you remember how wonderful it feels to be able to be completely honest with someone? To let them know how you are truly doing? To let them know your failings and still have them love you? In this episode, we hear one being this type of honest with God. An honesty that does not fear to admit failings, weaknesses, and fears. Being honest enough to be real with God; It is a beautiful thing. Well…

SNS 033: Asking God To Stop Evil? Psalm 5, Psalm Tuesday

Here’s a question. Should we, as Christians, ask God to stop evil? If so, how are we to pray when asking? In this episode, I find the answer to be yes, we should ask and we are given a beautiful example of how to ask in this Psalm, Psalm 5. That example being to ask in simple honesty. And not with a vengeful motive. That is, to be asking that it be done in fairness, in a way that is truly  warranted and not in a way that simply makes us feel better. Profound right? Well…

SNS 032: How Does It All Fit Together? Psalm 4, Psalm Tuesday

Have you ever read a Psalm and wondered how it all fits together? For instance, in this Psalm, Psalm 4, the psalmist goes from asking God for help to encouraging others to scream and work things out in private. I’ve wondered how does all this tie together, especially for use in a worship service? But then, but then… I read verses 6-7 in light of what we heard in Psalm 3 last time. Specifically, the part about being able to lie down, sleep, and awaken; I now see this is a whole new light. This is about asking for a blessing in order to be a blessing. Isn’t that profound?

SNS 031: The Strength To Sleep and Awaken, Psalm 3, Psalm Tuesday

One of the most profound expressions of trusting God that I have ever found occurs in Psalm 3. “I lie down, sleep, and awaken because the Lord gives me the strength to do so.” Isn’t this amazing? In this episode, the psalmist shares how his enemies were increasing in number, he even calls them a vast horde. Yet, he will fear them not; instead, he is getting a good night’s sleep and awakens refreshed, secure in who God is. To knowingly trust and not fear; that is profound. Well…
