When You Feel FORGOTTEN By God S30e175 05.03.2026 7:16
Pro tip: when you feel "forgotten by God" you will be feeling like it will be forever . Just ask David, as he works through an (inaccurate) season recorded in Psalm 13. He feels like God is hiding His face forever . He is challenged on that day: what do you do on the day when you "cannot find God" He does the right thing and asks that the Lord would give light to his eyes: let...

If you have “the gift of anger”… S30e172 02.03.2026 6:41
Anger is a huge destructive force that can ruin relationships outside of yourself and even inside your own soul. David realizes this in Ps 39. He has pretty good control of his tongue, but his heart is burning hot. He makes the turn away from anger internally . He is struck by his anger. He realizes this is not what he wants to be doing with his remaining few moments on this earth. Let's imi...
The Lord BENDs DOWN to DRAW UP the BENT OVER s30e171 01.03.2026 6:52
The Psalms are of course a book of WORDS, but they are supposed to be conveying something: ideas, realities.
