SNS 050: From Despair to Praise, One Man's Journey. Psalm 22, Psalm Tuesday

God, where are you? Have you ever asked this question? If you’re like me, then you have… at least once. And the good news is that we are not alone. In this episode, we hear the Psalmist ask the very same thing. Indeed, we are privileged to get a glimpse into the journey he takes from despair, through reflection on God, on to an honest pouring out of his heart concerning his plight, and then, arriving at a very interesting destination. Once God answers, the Psalmist is quick to let go of the despair and begin to loudly praise God, the destination is joy in God. It is an honest journey through pain into the joy of acceptance and celebration of God’s answer. What an amazing journey to make.

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 22.

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