The day is soon coming when all of our earthly life will seem like a distant breath, though certainly today has plenty of blessings, and also concerns. Our hearts our prone to wander, and cling fast to earthly attachments which only distract us from the riches we already have received in Christ.

Chad lays this out for us in ways that is sure to encourage us along our journey.

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;     let me never be put to shame! In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;     incline your ear to me, and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge,     to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me,     for you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,     from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man. For you, O Lord, are my hope,     my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;     you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you. I have been as a portent to many,     but you are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with your praise,     and with your glory all the day. Do not cast me off in the time of old age;     forsake me not when my strength is spent. For my enemies speak concerning me;     those who watch for my life consult together and say, “God has forsaken him;     pursue and seize him,     for there is none to deliver him.” O God, be not far from me;     O my God, make haste to help me! May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;     with scorn and disgrace may they be covered     who seek my hurt. But I will hope continually     and will praise you yet more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,     of your deeds of salvation all the day,     for their number is past my knowledge. With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;     I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. O God, from my youth you have taught me,     and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs,     O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation,     your power to all those to come. Your righteousness, O God,     reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things,     O God, who is like you? You who have made me see many troubles and calamities     will revive me again; from the depths of the earth     you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness     and comfort me again. I will also praise you with the harp     for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre,     O Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy,     when I sing praises to you;     my soul also, which you have redeemed. And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed     who sought to do me hurt. Do you see the Lord Jesus Christ in this Psalm? Plain as day. Readers of "the Christ Key" by Chad Bird can spot this writing all over the Old Testament. We give thanks this holy weekend, that we have a Deliverer, and Advocate and King in Jesus Christ. To Him be glory forever and ever.

The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi Lyrics to Jealous Love
 Put me like a seal over your heart For you know this love is true 
Put me like a seal on your arm
 I've got jealous love for you Now I will arise and go about the city Through the streets and in the square I will search for the one my soul loves So I looked for him but did not find him there I was born for you I lived for you I died for you, and rose again for you I will return for you, my love  Put me like a seal over your heart
 You are like a lily among the thorns Put me like a seal on your arm How beautiful you are in all your charms 
O my dove in the clefts of the rock In the secret place of the steep pathway 
Show me your face let me hear your voice For your voice is sweet and your face lovely I came down for you I died for you I rose again, and intercede for you I will return for you, my love 
Put me like a seal over your heart
 Who is this that grows like the dawn
 Put me like a seal on your arm
 Beauty of the moon pure as the sun 
Put me like a seal over your heart For you know this love is true Put me like a seal on your arm 
I've got jealous love for you

"Better than I deserve" is a statement rich with meaning for those of us who have heard the good news and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. This week's podcast finds us in chapter 6 of Song of Songs, caught up in a romantic dream come true. The analogy is pretty obvious; we are so loved by God, and God considers us His "body" on earth. Every part of the body has worth and Chad beautifully unpacks this encouraging passage. Izzi Ray sings "How Beautiful You Are".

The wicked and arrogant think they can prey upon the poor with impunity. Not so. Chad meditates on God hiding himself, it seems especially in times of trouble.

 God has done great things, but it's natural to feel we are being trampled down by the struggles we face. Chad shines light on this and our reason for great and lasting hope.

As we continue our meditation on Psalm 102, Chad speaks of ambition that clouds our vision and distracts us from the things that really matter. We see a God full of compassion and concern for the lowly, while we so easily fix our eyes on ourselves and our desires. The talented Izzi Ray sings "Look Down".  

Psalm 123 contains some of the most beautiful descriptions of the life of faith, describing how we look to God until “He shall be gracious to us” as we wait in hope. Izzi Ray sings “ I Lift Up My Eyes”.

The second half of Psalm 89 takes a turn from promise to ruin. And in the midst of this downfall,  King David accuses God of causing all the desolations. What is there for us to learn from this, especially when it seems like God has forsaken His own? Chad points us to the Messiah, the Man of Sorrows. Izzi Ray sings "Man of Sorrows".  

In part 1 of Psalm 89, we hear of David wanting to build a house for the Lord to dwell, but God has bigger plans, and makes a promise to David that from his lineage will come the Messiah of the world. Izzi Ray sings "Waiting on Your Promise".  

Psalm 50 is rebuke to those that either think they are too important,  or they think God doesn't notice their acceptance of sin and hypocracy. Chad once again unpacks this with compasssion and hope. The wonderful Izzi Ray sings "Thank you Lord"  

In this episode Chad shows us that the problem of sin starts long before we are born, and the consequences are devastating. We meditate on the beauty of Christ suffering on our behalf, that we may be covered with mercy and made whole. Izzy Ray sings "Have Mercy On Me"  

Wandering, wandering. Where do we stand with God? Is there a reason for hope when all we see is failure and despair? Does God even hear us when we have failed so miserably?  Izzi Ray sings a song of hope for now and forever entitled "Bring Us Home".  

Psalm 81 is another description of the errors of God's people throughout history. In this Psalm we see God's loving frustration with His people when He speaks to them but they won't listen, even when he blesses them over and over. Izzi Ray sings “Honey From The Rock” .

The Lord told Moses to give a blessing on the people of Israel. Recorded in Numbers chapter 6, it is more than words. It is a work that God does on our behalf. In Psalm 67, the smile of God beams out over ALL the nations, that the whole earth may stand with gratitude before the living God. This is the face of our Lord, looking at us not in anger, but in love. Izzi Ray sings "Grace, Blessing, and the Light of Your Face".  

From the 4 corners of the cross, Christ's gift of redemption spreads throughout the earth, throughout the generations, and is perpetually praised in the celestial realm. Meanwhile, we suffer and bear the burden of living in a fallen and hurting world. We look to God in our pain, knowing that God loves us and is with us throughout the ages. Izzi Ray sings “Honor and Glory". 

The needy are not forgotten by God. He hears the cry of the afflicted. Those that forget God will be forgotten, but for those that trust Him, forever they will live in the light of His face. Izzi Ray sings “Jesus, Lord I Trust In You”.

When God changed Jacob's name to Israel, thereafter his story was linked into as God's story. Psalm 8 speaks of the human being, as humanity, but also of Christ. This Psalm is quoted in Hebrews as being about the Savior. And God has crowned the Savior with glory and dominion, and those who trust in Him will reign with Him eternally. We have co- crucified, co-buried and co-resurrected with Him. Izzi Ray sings “We Carry Your Name”.

The heavens declare the glory of God, and we are wise to meditate on God's revelation through creation. But He grants us specific benefits and grace from the Word He has given to us. Izzi Ray sings "Without A Sound".
