Episode Synopsis

Have you ever been reading along in the Bible and suddenly you find yourself wanting to say something that you normally say to that one good friend who kicks you in the rear-end to get you moving in the right direction? You know, “Shut up.” Well, can I just say that this is what happened to me as I was reading the Psalm for this episode, Psalm 37? This is especially true of verses 1-9. Where it says things like do not be excited or vexed, agitated or envious, and to leave anger and rage behind. And instead, to roll all concern onto God’s shoulders. Yeah, life is going to happen, so focus on God and let him do the heavy lifting. A lesson that is easy to agree with and less easy to fully live out. But before going any further, let’s hear the psalm, shall we? For now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This is a podcast for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which, each Tuesday, we will listen to a Psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.Please tell me what you think about this.
