If only evil would just STAY IN ITS LANE. No, it has the intent to spill over and assail the people of God. This background of difficulty and opposition is what makes the truth of Ps 27 all the more beautiful.

Join me as David sets his heart in a certain way that can be beneficial to us if we follow him.

Listen as I am swarmed by a murmuration of starlings during this podcast. That's OK, because it is about BEING KEPT BY THE LORD. It means both to been SEEN and to be PROTECTED.

Where does my help come from? So the Psalmist asks and then answers: My help is from the Lord. Listen if you are being Kept, or if you are soon to be kept.

Or watch if you just like 1000s of starlings.

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

The Throne of David, 3000 years later is STILL occupied in Israel. 3000 years from now, it will continue to be occupied then and forever. It is Jesus that now "sits on the throne of David."

David's house is forever. David's throne is forever. David's kingdom is forever.

Join me in Psalm 18 as David sings about this truth that even he does not fully understand.

Nope. God doesn't answer every call. Why? Because some calls are asked insincerely. They are just words, often of regret, but of no real repentance.

Good news: God DOES answer every call that is petitioned with humility and submission. He is a shield to ALL who (sincerely) call on Him. The tent is big enough for everybody who is on their knees.

Listen first for 7 minutes. Call on Him for 2 minutes after you subscribe.

Join me for a real moment in time when God "bows the heavens" toward David. David is in real trouble as he has real spears and real armies thrown at him.

If you like, subscribe. If you don't like today's, subscribe anyway, for tomorrow will be better.

If Ps119 could speak it'd have a lot to say:

It would say the spiritual life is not lived alone. It'd ask us to Attach to the people of God with the same grace that the Person of God has attached to you.

It would say that believers have their feet in the butter tub of grace, and we'd best be living lives of gratefulness.

Finally, it would say that suffering can actually be good. There are things to grow from in the midst of it. I might even stretch toward gratefulness because of it.
