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.’

If He’s made you He’ll carry you! s30e114 Ps71
In a series, 114 days long of 7 minute treasures.
What is the hurry. There have been no bad psalms.
Each has been at the “request” of someone I know, friend, family, etc.
It has been interesting to associate each with a person.
They all have their unique features to recommend them.
The range of human experience and feeling and frustration is here
wrestling and making oneself aware of the Lord, fighting my mind
What should the OLD be doing? Look at a time of gray hair, when the majority of your strength is spent
If He’s made you He’ll carry you. And for how long? To old age and gray hairs
71 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress. .ROCK
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5 For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.
My praise is continually of you. .RESCUE
7 I have been as a portent to many, .wonder, marvel, miracle
but you are my strong refuge.
8 My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.
10 For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
11 and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.” .
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.
18 So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come. . Is 46:3-4 echos this prophesy
3 “Listen to me, O house of Jacob,
all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from before your birth,
carried from the womb;
4 even to your old age I am he,
and to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear;
I will carry and will save. .Even to your old age, I AM he
.And to gray hairs I will carry you.
I have made, and I will bear
I will carry and will save.
What is God’s relationship with those who were born a long time ago?
Faithful: present as the I AM
Aware of the gray and the need to carry. HELPFUL
Purposeful: to proclaim your might to another generation
Proclaim POWER to all those yet to come
Said purposefully: those who are watching FOR YOUR LIFE,
that is wishing your downfall, are at least WATCHING your life
The bigger the persecution, the bigger the platform
How does an older person reach into the future?
By winning and witnessing to the next gen
Move people to
Be carried by the Lord, to mightily proclaim your power to another generation.
Here’s the worry: a worry of the aging
V9: do not cast me off in the time of old age
Do not forsake me when my strength is spent
We’ve got stuff to do. Generation, that is not mine to impact. How?
Show them God is real: I AM
Show them that in gray hair He will carry.
What does another generation need to see? If you’ve got not much gray hair, what do you need to see? What can the gray hair’s teach?
That the Lord does not forsake, even to gray hair and old age
That an older generation can proclaim to another generation
By definition that gen is YOUNGER. For there aren’t any older
That might and power and other divine attributes are proclaimed
That the Lord does not cast off the veterans of the faith
That this relationship is real, and that even to your old age I AM HE
He will carry to gray hair
He will bear those whom He has made
He will save when strength is spent.
Joshua 13:113 Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess.
.If you have gray hairs, the Lord has stuff for you to get busy with:
The younger generation. Proclaiming power. Not cast off. Still in the fight, Look at me, I am carried to gray hair. The Lord is faithful. Watch me and I will show you that He will bear those whom He has made. He will save those whose strength is spent.
He promises that to you He will stay the I AM
That If He’s made you He’ll carry you
