Psalm 4

How long?

It's a common question in Scripture. Sometimes it is God asking how long His people will keep disobeying. Sometimes it is someone asking how long God will allow enemies to continue or suffering to go on. In Psalm 4, David is asking his detractors how long they're going to keep banging their heads against the wall.

Edwin and Andrew talk about "How Long?" in today's Text Talk.

Psalm 4

Irving Berlin must have been on to something when he wrote that if we're having trouble sleeping, we ought to count our blessings instead of sheep. David demonstrates a similar point in Psalm 4. It's a psalm that contrasts some folks who have trouble sleeping and one who is able to lay down and sleep in peace.

Edwin and Andrew talk about one of the key differences. David is able to count his blessings.

Psalm 4

While Psalm 3 was clearly a morning prayer, Psalm 4 is most definitely a bedtime prayer. Edwin and Andrew talk about some of the great hindrances we face to prayer because we simply don't recognize the great need we have for God in order to survive and have safety. They also discuss advice for maintaining a prayer habit.

Psalm 3

Psalm 3 has some very literal application to how God sustained David through the night of his flight from Absalom. Edwin and Andrew look at how God worked in response to David's prayer and through David's plans.

Psalm 3

Edwin and Andrew love to sing. One of their favorite songs is "A Shield About Me," which is based on Psalm 3. They talk about God as a shield and also how this shows a flow from Psalm 1 to Psalm 2 into Psalm 3. Oh yeah! And you get to hear Edwin try his hand at an Irish accent. Enjoy that!

Psalm 3

It is frightening when many enemies are breathing down your neck. David was on the run from many enemies. Edwin and Andrew talk about how having God on your side puts you in a better position than your enemies, even when there are many, many, many, many of them.

Psalm 3

According to the heading found in the manuscripts, this was written while David was fleeing Absalom. This was a time in which David was clearly being disciplined by the Lord. And David knew full well he deserved every bit of the suffering he was experiencing. Yet, he still prayed for mercy and deliverance. WOW!!! Edwin and Andrew talk about this exercise of faith in the midst of being disciplined.

Psalm 3

Why turn to the Lord even when things seem awful, perhaps hopeless? Because even if I'm not sure He will give me salvation, I know the only place salvation can be found is in God. Why would I turn anywhere else? Edwin and Andrew talk about our only hope of salvation in this episode.

Psalm 2

The apostles quoted Psalm 2 as they prayed in the face of persecution. Why did that fit? What does this say to us about the applications of Psalm 2 even in our own walk with the King? Edwin and Andrew wrap up the discussion of Psalm 2 looking at the apostles' use of the psalm.

Psalm 2

Though each psalm is an individual literary unit which can be studied on its own merit and in its own self-contained context, Psalm 2 and Psalm 1 clearly complement each other. Edwin and Andrew talk about how these two psalms can be taken together and what that means for our pursuit of wisdom today.
