This episode is crazy! Well at least it is an account of something crazy. We find ourselves in Psalm 34 and David is praying God as he so loves to do.
Ever made a bad decision for a good reason? When the outcome was favorable by God's grace, where did we place the credit? David writes this Psalm on the heels of a bad decision he made for a good reason that he wound up needing deliverance from. His praise here is a testimony that God indeed is good...
... and we can be very, very dumb.

Psalm 33 teaches about God's glory, his awesome power and how our joy can only be full in him.
Do we rejoice? Really rejoice? Does it spill out of us like water from an overfilled glass, splashing everything and everyone around us to where they can't help but fell joy as well? Do we paint an attractive picture of the joy we have in Christ to the point that others want to experience it, partake in it?
How else could we respond to God's greatness? To his redemption? Where else can we find that kind of hope?

Happy New Year! As we welcome 2024, there can't possibly be e better way to start than to be reminded of God's grace and mercy in our lives.
David in Psalm 32 is coming off of a period of egregious sin and trying to hide it, keep it. Only in the acknowledgement of that sin was he able to find relief and joy, leading him to praise the One who forgave him and glorify his name in song.
Immediately forgiven and instantaneously restored to full fellowship with his Heavenly Father.
The same joy can be ours.

Merry Christmas!! As a gift from the podcast team, Tom reads the Christmas Story from Luke 2.
We pray you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a special time to remember the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Can we be like the shepherds and proclaim our Savior to the world?

Psalm 31 sees David in the midst of betrayal and abandonment by those he had trusted. This causes him to turn to God.
How often do we look at the season we are in and feel betrayed? Betrayed by our expectations, betrayed by people we've trusted. Who is our first call? Who do we run to when all others have failed?
The truth that echoes this Psalm is that in every season, our God is in control. Because of this we can praise him in every season.

David comes off the heals of a crushing failure in his life that had drastic consequences in Psalm 30. It is easy sometimes to look at the Lord's blessing as personal accomplishments. God warned Israel against this attitude, and David feels the weight of the reality of what happens when we do just that.
When we fail do we turn to God immediately, or do we try to figure it out on our own? If we were to turn to God immediately, he is faithful to turn mourning to dancing, weeping to joy.
What failures have you delayed to give to him? What reconciliation are you putting off? David speaks praise to God and thanks for God's faithfulness to forgive and give exactly what David - what we all - needed: Joy.

David pens a Psalm dedicated to the magnificence of God in a storm he is witness to. How does this translate to praise in our lives? What is the message that God has for us here?
More than the storm is the God of the storm that works in it. Do we acknowledge that God is the master of the storm?
In this Psalm it is difficult not to praise the same way David did - praising the Lord in the storm as the Lord of the storm and finding peace more than despite the storm, but because of it.

David goes once again from a low to a high in this week's Psalm as he engages God in prayer.
DO we pray often enough? For the right things? Do we feel God is silent sometimes?
We're not alone. What we can find solace in is that while God may at times seem silent, God is always there. Sometimes his silence is teaching us patience, sometimes his silence is really just a whisper we can' hear because of all of the noise in our lives.
Silence can speak volumes.
Christian growth is intentional.
That growth comes through the pursuit of godly knowledge. Fortunately, we have a resource provided by God himself that contains all the knowledge necessary for us to grow intentionally in our Christian life. While the path may be dark, it can be illuminated. Through our studies we pray we can be a supplement to that resource to aide in your walk on a Well Lit Path.
