Even when the only emotion you can feel is pain and loss and disappointment, still come to God with it. God doesn't want that fake you that you put on for everyone else. He wants you to come with the hurt and the pain and bring it to him instead of running from him.

As we look at a list of names in a genealogy, a tiny story stands out. It was enough to make a bestseller 20 years ago, but was the message of the Prayer of Jabez faithful to the context of the scripture, or was it an irresponsible interpretation meant to play into our desires for material wealth and comfort?

As we look at these seven Psalms, I would encourage you to read further in Spurgeon's Treasury of David. He gives a great verse by verse analysis of each Psalm.

Today we see eight seemingly disconnected Psalms by David, but it seems as though they are connected in a deep way. The very issues that David cries out to God over in one Psalm are answered in his praise in another. This is the way our faith works. As we continue to seek God he continues to show us more and more of himself, and we are transformed.

These Psalms are seven of the Psalms of Ascent, a set of songs to be sung by worshippers on their way to the temple for the three annual feasts. They are a good way to set the stage for our own worship, like a spiritual reset button.

Sorry, today's episode is a little long. We finish up the book of 1 Samuel and it was a good day to reflect back on the life and missteps of Saul in comparison to David. Their biggest difference relates to their relationship to God's holiness and that is on full display not just in the story but also in Psalm 18.
