Presented by Julie Busteed What happens when you are not patient and run ahead of God and take things into your own hands? That's exactly what happened to King Saul. You can read the entire account in I Samuel 13:1-15 but let me summarize. Saul is the newly appointed first King over Israel. They've had some success at defeating their enemies. I guess King Saul is feeling pretty good about this. Then the Philistines—the enemy—assemble to fight and they have many chariots and soldiers as numerous as the sand on the seashore. When the Israelites see this, they are quaking with fear. Saul waits seven days for Samuel (the prophet and priest) to arrive to offer the burnt offering. He was following Samuel's instructions (1 Samuel 10:8). But something happens—we're not told what—but Samuel doesn't show up in seven days. He's late. And Saul seeing that his soldiers are frightened, seeing the strength and number of his enemies, takes things into his own hands and he offers the sacrifice to God (which by the way was against the law—only priests were to do this). And then guess who shows up at this exact moment—Samuel! And he asks Saul what's going on, and Saul explains: “When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash, I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the Lord's favor.' So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering” (1 Samuel 13:11-12). Oh wow. Did you hear that? Saul's saying things weren't going as he thought they should. He was looking at his circumstances around him and becoming fearful and not looking at God. And so, he took things into his own hands—he felt “compelled” to ask for the Lord's help in this way. And Samuel then tells him that he's done a foolish thing. That he's not kept the command that the Lord God gave him and as a result the Kingdom of Israel will be taken away from him, it will not endure. I do feel for Saul sometimes. It sounds like he convinced himself he was doing the right thing in rushing ahead of God and offering these sacrifices and seeking the Lord's favor instead of waiting for Samuel. But it was not the right thing. How many times have you been anxious, got tired of waiting for God and took things into your own hands which then resulted in more trouble? Maybe you are so desperate to get out of a job or a project that you'll do anything. I know. It's hard to wait. But it can be even more dangerous to not wait. To make poor decisions and suffer those consequences. You might not have your kingdom taken away from you like Saul, but it could still end in difficulty. As the Psalmist says, wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord (Psalm 27:14 ESV)!

It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.

1 Chronicles 4 records the descendants of Judah. One of the notable descendants was Jabez, whose prayer to God and subsequent blessing is told in verses 9-10. What we learn is that Yahweh is ever attentive to the pleas of His children both small and great. We know nothing about Jabez except for his prayer seeking for the Almighty to bless and prosper him. Next the record tells of Simeon's descendants - perhaps we would have expected those of Reuben. But Reuben lost the position of firstborn through a disgraceful act (Genesis 49 verses 3-4). Ezekiel 17 records the parable of the two eagles. The eagles were those kings of Judah who were promoted to prominence by the king of Babylon. But the eagles did not maintain faith with Nebuchadnezzar but broke the covenant which they had made with the Babylonian monarch. Those kings rebelled and were savagely dealt with by the king of Babylon. Our God expects His children to be truthful at all times verses  Matthew 5 verses 33-37; Zechariah 8 verses 16-17; Revelation 22 verses 14-15. Yahweh will exalt the lowly and abase the lofty verses  James 4 verses 7-10; 1 Peter 5 verses 5-6. In Luke 13 the enemies of the Lord maliciously attack him by drawing his attention to the Galileans, who Pilate had slaughtered as they were sacrificing in Jerusalem. Jesus tells his audience of Judeans of a recent event where a wall in Siloam - Jerusalem's backyard - fell on many Judeans. Did it happen because they were bad sinners? No, on both counts - but both tragedies provided opportunities for reflection and repentance, as any report of suffering does for us today. This is followed in chapter 13 by the parable of the barren fig tree which represents Israel's failure to bring forth fruit to God. Jesus next, on the Sabbath day heals a woman with an unclean spirit. The parables of the mustard seed and the leaven come next in the record. Then the record speaks of the parable of the narrow door, through which every disciple must strive to enter. Our Lord Jesus Christ laments over Jerusalem - to be torn down stone by stone as the leprous house. He will be welcomed in the Kingdom, when they would say, "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord" (Psalm 118 verses 26). Chapter 14 of Luke begins with Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath day. That man had clearly been planted as a test for Jesus. Would he heal on the Sabbath day? The Lord was invited to speak at a dinner for Pharisees and Jesus gives advice in the parable of the wedding feast. Then came another parable about the great banquet to which each invited class found excuses not to attend. These people who were called by the gospel to come to the wedding feast of the Son of God all adjudged themselves unworthy of eternal life in the kingdom. As a result of their rejection, we have graciously been offered a place. Two parables follow which tell us that as disciples of Jesus we must always count the cost of discipleship and wholeheartedly pursue that goal. Every disciple of our Lord must accept the peace that our Sovereign offers to us through the emissaries of the gospel and then make peace with Him verses  Ephesians 2 verses 11-22. The chapter concludes with the need for zest and salt among our Master's disciples. Salt was an essential ingredient of every sacrifice and spoke of keeping covenant with the Almighty. And so, it is a vital component of the disciple's faithful walk before his/her Sovereign leading onto His gracious bestowing of eternal life on His saints. Salt speaks of sincerity in Christ's disciples as we are told in Colossians 4 verses 6.  Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

It is important as parents that we understand the reward and blessing our children are to us. But, it is equally important that our children understand what a blessing they are to us and to the world they live in right now. Tune in to this episode as The Boggs encourage us and give scriptural basis for leading our children to see and understand not only the blessing they are, but the future God has for them; the destiny He has purposed for them; and the unavoidable challenges and temptations that may come along with all of this!

The Fear of the Lord Psalm 34 1. The Call 2. The Content 3. Why and How

In this message from Psalm 84, we are reminded of the deep joy and blessing found in the presence of the Lord. The psalmist declares, “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere”—a truth that calls us to delight in worship and long for fellowship with God and His people.Together, we explore how the temple in Israel symbolized God's presence, and how today we experience that same presence through Christ, through prayer, and as we gather as His church. Even in seasons of weeping and difficulty, the Lord is our strength, our sun, and our shield. He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly and trust in Him.May this sermon encourage you not only to seek God privately, but also to joyfully gather with His people, finding strength, blessing, and joy in His presence.

The writer of this Psalm praises God for responding mercifully to the cry of the suffering: in return, this individual offers to serve God faithfully. Set to the uplifting Irish melody ‘Galway Shawl,' this is a Psalm of thanksgiving for deliverance from suffering, a testament to the transformation that can come through God's help, and a commitment to faithfulness in response.Continue your reflections with the accompanying journal, which includes further questions for reflection and some invitations to prayer and practice.Paid subscribers receive a free journal PDF, or you can purchase a paperback versionPsalms for the Spirit is a reader-supported publication.

Planted in the House of the Lord Psalm 92:12–14 Brother Randy Rigney 

In light of the command to rejoice in the Lord (Psalm 97:12, Joel 2:23, Philippians 4:4) and the fruit of the Spirit who produces joy (Galatians 5:22), does that mean if we are pursuing happiness that Christians ought always be on an emotional high? No, this happiness is not a trivial, chipper demeanor. It is one that is an undercurrent of confidence even when we don't desire God. Listen to Pastor David's sermon on Psalm 42 for more.

Integrity is a sought-after virtue. While we want to be known as people of integrity, we must admit that we have things hidden in our hearts that we don't want people to know. King David wanted to be a man of integrity, and in Psalm 101, he wrote about his desire to walk faithfully with God. The psalm gives us practical ideas on how we can both walk in integrity and devote ourselves to the Lord.

I Love the Lord – Psalm 116:1–19 Posted by Dave Jenkins | Walking Through the Psalms Psalm 116 is a deeply personal expression of love for the Lord from one who has been delivered from death and distress. In this episode, Dave Jenkins walks through this psalm verse by verse to show how God's gracious deliverance leads to heartfelt worship, lifelong obedience, and public praise. From crying out in desperation to lifting up the cup of salvation, we learn how to respond to God's grace with gratitude and devotion—ultimately pointing us to Jesus, who drank the cup of suffering for our salvation.

In this sermon, pastor Mitch reminds us that we can have confidence in crisis because salvation belongs to the Lord. The God who delivered David and brought blessing to his people was also faithful to Jesus, and through him, God now brings the blessings of salvation to all who believe in his name. When we feel outnumbered and outmatched, when the waves of fear and anxiety threaten, we can rest assured, knowing that Christ is not only with us, but has secured God's blessings for us.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 14:12). Rod and Marion Hall shared what it means to walk with God through seasons of family, missions, ministry, and surrender. Not driven by culture or human wisdom, but rooted in the way of the Spirit and the pursuit of the Kingdom of God.  “Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked… but whose delight is in the law of the Lord” (Psalm 1).

Remember the Deeds of Our Lord (Psalm 77, Jul 13th 2025) by Sovereign Grace Church

Great are the Works of the Lord | Psalm 111

Ascribe to the Lord | Psalm 29

Send us a textA nation and world altering event took place on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia when 56 representatives of 13 British colonies signed the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain.The Declaration is America's original founding document and is “the most consequential enumeration of the fundamental and unalienable Rights of Mankind as irrevocably endowed by our Creator.”Today in a special Independence Day program, we're going to commemorate this bold act that altered our nation from being yet another British colony under the King and Church of England. Instead, America became a Constitutional Republic that separates power from the dictates of one king into branches of government and elected representatives of the people. We will examine what led to the Declaration of Independence and the impact it made on America, even to this day.The Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33). While this specifically refers to Israel, there is general blessing for any nation that reveres and obeys God. God has greatly blessed America. The question going forward as we increasingly rebel against Him is: Will America repent and honor God?

Title: Wait on the LordSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeText: Psalm 27Overview: In a world that gives us what we want on demand, the call to "wait" can feel frustrating and counterintuitive. In this teaching from Calvary Monterey, Pastor Nate Holdridge looks at Psalm 27 to uncover the profound strength and unshakable confidence that comes only from waiting on the Lord. Nate explains that this waiting is not a passive state of resignation but an active, hope-filled process of seeking God's presence. Learn how anchoring your heart in God as your light, salvation, and stronghold can give you a courageous faith that withstands any of life's storms.
