Episode Summary

Podcast Introduction Today we will read Psalms 99-101.   I’ll give a brief introduction to each chapter, and I’ll have some comments after the reading. I’m calling today’s episode “Inside Outside.” Design: Steve Webb | Photo: Max Harlynking on Unsplash Comments on Psalm 101 In chapter 101, verse 2, David wrote, “2I will be careful to lead a life that is without blame. When will you come and help me? In my own home I will lead a life that is without blame.” As I’ve already said before we read this chapter, wouldn’t it be great if leaders today made this their goal? Beloved, I believe that we need to pray that God would move in the hearts of our local leaders, our state or province leaders and our national leaders. No matter where you’re hearing this, pray for your leaders. When God gets hold of them, or moves new, godly people into their spots, we will begin to see changes for the good around the world.  Yes, I believe we are in the end times, but I would be delighted to be proven wrong.

Have you taken your problems to the Lord and laid them at His feet, only to pick them up again? Maybe you need help from your pastor, or a trusted friend or a counselor. Listen, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everybody needs help from time to time.  Galatians 5:22-26 has a lot to say about how we should behave:  22But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithful 23and gentle and having control of oneself. There is no law against things of that kind. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their sinful desires to his cross. They don’t want these things anymore. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become proud. Let us not make each other angry. Let us not wa
