SNS 046: Treated as You Treat Others, Psalm 18, Psalm Tuesday
Apr 13, 2021 Episode 46
Charles Yerkes

In this episode, the Psalmist says many things. But there are two things which stand out to me: 1st  

 With the strong, and the blameless, and the honest man,

You prove yourself blameless and honest.

Yet, to those who are violent,

 You will act violently.

And with the twisted and the false,

You prove full of twists and turns.

For you help the humble,

But the arrogant you humiliate.

That God treats people for who they are. Isn’t that intriguing. And 2nd is that a life of faith is reliance on God while we are doing things. The life of faith isn’t a life waiting around for magic to happen, for a fairy god-father to wave his wand and presto all is right. It is a faith where you work things out, as you do what you can, and simultaneously trusting God to take care of what you cannot. Faith in God is not to be a lazy faith. Well…

Hello. 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. In this episode, we are reading Psalm 18.

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.
