Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

He rightfully receives thanks, praise, blessing,
What is the goodness of Psalm 100?
He is being Good. For the Lord is good. Heb 11: 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
He is being HESED. His character is Hesed.
His actions are characterized by HESED
What is the Hesed of Psalm 100?: extending perfect faithfulness
to a generally uncooperative people group
He is being steady. We are being wobbly.
He is reaching out. We oft bite the extended hand.
It is the essential quality that allows a relationship with humans
It is also what He calls us to in the junior version: be faithful to Him
Be steady in the house of God with the people of God
It is the pillar upon which we will stand before Him for eternity
For if there is No steadiness with God,
there is nothing to stand on or at least nothing to stand on for long
