This episode Noah breaks down Psalm 33. He discusses the reliability of speech that ancient Israelites believed. God acts as creator through the power of speech. God's words are a stability that the psalmist relies on and sees as more powerful than horses and kings. Noah relates these ideas to the comfort John brings to Christians and the responses to Jesus that incited love of him or fear and distrust.

Join us this episode as Noah tackles a difference facet of God. In this psalm God's voice is described as a terrible storm starting over the waters of the sea before hitting land and causing premature births in animals, shattering trees, and impacting the psalmist with feelings of gravitas. Noah spends a lot of time discussing the wonder that storms can create, comparing that to the wonder of human invention and technology. He discusses how both have strengths and weaknesses. Nature is wild and dangerous while technology can be easily assumed to possess all the answers to human safety. Noah discusses how this picture of God reframes even the previous two psalms to balance both the dangerous and unpredictable and the reliable and secure. Strap in yet again as we dive into this beautiful psalm!

This episode really should be a part two for last episode. Noah unpacks more with the safety God offers to us, how the psalmist seeks that safety, and the struggles of life in determining a balance between courageous living and personal safety. As with all psalms, this is a small piece of the wider story the psalms are telling but within each one, we can discern individual experiences that make up the large truths for both the people of Israel and Christians.

This episode Noah discusses the ways that megachurches in our modern era offer places of safety for its churchgoers. He then compares this modern trend to the way the psalmist also desires a place for safety in the temple of the Lord. The theme of this psalm is the yearning for security when we feel alone.
