SNS 035: Personal Choices and Fairness, Psalm 7, Psalm Tuesday

Personal choices, personal consequences, and fairness. Do you see how these go together? In our last episode, we mentioned the fairness of God in dealing with folks. In this one, the psalmist fleshes this out a little bit.

In this psalm, Psalm 7, we see the weapons of God being equated with a person’s own choices, with the traps they lay for others. Isn’t that intriguing? And the Psalmist is content to let God manage the process. He asks God to take care of it and lets it go, trusting that God will. Is this another source of the peace and strength needed to lie down, sleep, and awaken that we’ve mentioned in previous episodes? Anyway…

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 its original use as part of a worship service. In this episode, we are reading Psalm 7.

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