Today's episode contains some adult themes, parental discretion is advised. Our episode begins with Judah's sons who are so atrocious that the Lord puts them death, and soon thereafter we learn that their father is not quite a moral giant himself. Then we'll return to the storyline of Joseph. It's clear that something about the experience with his brothers' betrayal has changed Joseph. Having been sold into slavery, he loses it all, then gains it all, then loses it all again, but time and again he maintains his integrity. Where many would have given into temptation or despair, Joseph proves to be a man of upstanding character, unlike the family he grew up in.Genesis 38 - 1:05 . Genesis 39 - 7:00 . Genesis 40 - 10:40 . Genesis 41 - 14:25 . Psalm 20 - 20:49 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body, refocus your mind, and to re-imagine and re-narrate your life to a truer reality. I'm Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  If your podcast app is set to skip the silent sections, disable that in your podcast app for this podcast. This is our last episode of 2024 as we take a break for the holidays.  Psalms 63:6 (ESV) King David writes… “…I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you ...” Hebrew: “Mindful of”   Hebrew: “Imagine” So what this is telling us is that “mindfulness” and “meditation” are ancient biblical disciplines that God's people have been practicing for thousands of years. Being mindful of God doesn't mean trying to picture God. It means using your biblically guided imagination to envision what the Bible tells us is true about God.  And all that that means for you in how you envision/narrate your life and your future.  Christian meditation puts our imagination and therefore our body back into the truer narrative/story… Psalms 20:7 (ESV) “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (“Mindful of”) Let's be mindful of God's name: HE IS—  Creator Source of all life  Sustainer Eternal Infinitely present In Acts 17 the Apostle Paul is talking to pagan philosophers in Athens. So he is using very general language. But everything he says is part of the gospel. That's what he's doing. He's preaching the gospel. So this is something that we as Christians need to envision as a promise of the gospel, a foundational truth about God and our lives.  So Paul says in Acts 17:24-25, “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth.” And then in the next verse, he says, “And he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Then in verse 28 he says, “In him we live and move and have our being.“ The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth. The universe. HE IS. And he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. God is the one who gives you your life, your very breath right now. HE IS. In him you live and move and have your very being. He is giving you life right now. HE IS your breath of life right now in this breath. And he gives you everything else in your life. Everything in your life ultimately comes from his hand. HE IS. And so you have to decide if you're going to trust the God who made everything in heaven and on earth. Everything in this universe comes from him. He created the entire universe of a trillion galaxies. He is all-powerful. And yet he is a God of steadfast love and intimate, infinite focus on you to the very hairs of your head, Jesus says in Matthew 10. So you can trust God with your life, even in stressful times.

Door Margriet van der Kooi

Today we begin study and meditation on Psalm 22. This Psalm has been rightly called by many commentators, “The Psalm of the Cross”.  We know that this Psalm was written by King David but as to when he wrote it or the conditions under which he was when it was written, we have no idea and can only speculate. This Psalm stands above all the other Psalms when it comes to the prophesies concerning the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.   David is called a prophet in Acts 2:30 and for sure in Psalm 22, he looked ahead one-thousand years and clearly saw the Lord Jesus Christ dying on the cross. This definitely is in the category of the Messianic Psalms.   Notices some of the verses that we know directly relate to the cross of Christ: “My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me” (v. 1).  Christ spoke these very same words on the Cross (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34).  “But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people. All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, "He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!" (vv. 6-8).  This was fulfilled in Matthew 27:39-44. “They pierced My hands and My feet” (v. 16). This was fulfilled in Matthew 27:35. “They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots” (v. 17). This was fulfilled in John 19:23-24. We will look at these, and several more of these verses, in greater detail as we go through the Psalm over the next few days.   There are many Bible teachers and scholars that believe that Jesus quoted this entire Psalm as He hung on the cross. As we read and meditate on this Psalm, we will find we are on holy ground, and like Moses, we should take off our spiritual shoes and worship our Lord!  The Psalm begins with, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me”.  This Psalm ends with, “That He has done this”.  Some believe in the original Hebrew that this actually is, “It is finished”.   In this Psalm, we see both the darkness of the Cross and the glory of the Cross.  We see the suffering of Christ and the glory that should follow.  No other place in the Bible do we get a better picture of the physical, emotional, phycological, and spiritual suffering of Christ on the cross!  We see the inner soul of Jesus as He dies on the Cross in our place for our sins.  Taking the penalty and curse of our sin upon Himself on the Cross.   A companion prophetic passage to this Psalm in the Bible would be Isaiah 53.  I would encourage you to also read it over the next few days as we continue to think about this Psalm.  It is my prayer as we think and meditate on the sufferings of Christ on the Cross that we will be more grateful and thankful and more willing to give our lives to Him for His service and His glory!   God bless!

“Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven With the saving strength of His right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright. Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.”   In the first five verses the people prayed for the king, their leader!  Now in verses 6-9, David is confident of victory as he leads them into battle against the enemy. One great pastor of yesteryear would often say, "Everything rises and falls with leadership", and he was right.   Now the king speaks and assures his people that he is confident of success because the Lord has chosen him ("anointed") and heard his prayers. When we know that we are the Lord's chosen and anointed people we can be assured that He will take care of us and keep His promises!   The people had prayed "May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble" (v. 1), and David's reply was, "He will answer him from His holy heaven…" (v. 6). The Lord would not only send help from Zion (v. 2) but also from the very throne of heaven! (v. 6). Just as God's hand had reached down and saved David in the past (18:9-18), so His hand would deliver him from the enemy. In the covenant God made with David, He had promised him success in battle (2 Sam. 7:11), and David claimed this promise by faith.   Was the enemy coming with horses and chariots? There was no need to fear, for Israel's faith was in the Lord. Israel's kings were commanded not to acquire great numbers of horses and chariots (Deut. 17:16), a law that Solomon disobeyed (1 Kings 10:26-27). Note that the law of warfare even mentions horses and chariots (Deut. 20:1-4, Deut. 32:20 and 2 Sam. 10:18). God had defeated Egypt's best troops (Ex. 14:6-30; 15:4), and He could defeat the enemy attacking David (Ps. 33:16-17; Prov. 21:31; 2 Kings 19:20-23).   "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Rom. 8:31). God's people don't boast in their human resources but in the God who alone can save them in every situation. Only this kind of faith will honor the strong name of the Lord. Did you notice that at least three times “the name of God…” is mentioned (vv. 1, 5, & 7)!  The enemy might come against us with the great might with their weapons of war but, “we will remember the name of the LORD our God!”  The enemy will go down in defeat, but Israel will stand upright as victors.   This chapter ends like it begins, with a prayer and a plea! “Save, LORD! May the King answer us when we call.”  David is the king of Israel, but he acknowledges that there is a greater King!  And that King is the Lord Jesus Christ!  Here David, the people, and the troops are acknowledging the sovereignty of the great king of Israel. Unless the Lord is King, there can be no victory.   "For the LORD is the great God, And the great King above all gods" (Psalm 95:3). “Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory” (Psalm 24:9-10).   Like David, we might plan our strategy and make our petitions (v. 4), but the Lord alone can determine the outcome.  I trust this Psalm will be one that you will read often and make your prayer!   God bless!

Psalm 20:1-5  “May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, And strengthen you out of Zion; May He remember all your offerings, And accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah May He grant you according to your heart's desire, And fulfill all your purpose. We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.”   A praying king will have a praying people and a praying people will have a praying king! If we want better leaders in our families, in our communities, and in our nation, we need more praying people. If we want better pastors in our churches, we need to have a praying congregation. And a praying pastor will produce a praying people!  Dr. Falwell would often say, “That nothing of eternal value ever happens apart from prayer!”   In the first five verses of this chapter, we find the prayer of the people for their king as he leads them into battle against the enemies of their nation. Prayer is not only preparation for the battle, it is the real battle where we fight against the invisible forces of evil! Jesus would often wake up early in the mornings and go to a quiet place and pray before He faced the challenges of the day!  My friend, if Jesus, the Son of God, thought it important and necessary to pray, how much more should we!   Twice in these verses we read “the name of the God of Jacob…” and “the name of our God…”. Solomon would later write: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.”  (Proverbs 18:10).  Here the people prayed that “in the name of our God we will set up our banners”.  Over the centuries as armies would go into battle, they would have someone in front carrying their flag, their banner.  This banner was a symbol of who and what they were fighting under, and who and what they were fighting for.   This brings to mind the story of Moses and Joshua fighting with the Amalekites in Exodus 17. Joshua led the army of Israel into the battle.  Moses went up on a hill overlooking the battlefield. He was praying and interceding on behalf of his army. When he held his hands up with the Rod of God, Joshua and his army prevailed.  But when Moses' arms got tired and his hands came down, the Amalekites would start winning. Remember Moses sat on a rock and Aaron got on one side of Moses, and Hur got on the other side, and they held up his hands and Joshua won the battle.   It was there that “Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner” (Exodus 17:15). In the Hebrew, the name is “Jehovah Nissi”.  Our Jehovah Nissi is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ as He died on the cross for our sins and the sin of the world!  We set up our banner when we declare to the world Whose side we are on!  We are on the Lord's side!  We also declare that Jehovah is on our side!   My friend, when we declare our allegiance and submission to the Lord Jesus Christ and the message of His cross and resurrection, the power of the enemy is defeated!  We have confidence that the Lord will fulfill all our petitions for His aid and help in our time of trouble or need!  Like Moses we hold up the “Rod of God”, which represents the authority and power of God that is in the blood of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ!    That is why we make our petitions and end our prayers with, “In Jesus name I pray”!   God bless!

David's entire life involved conflict.  When he was a shepherd, he was fighting with lions and bears. As a teenager or young adult, he fights a giant named Goliath.  He becomes a commander in Saul's army and leads men into battles day after day. When he flees from Saul for ten years he daily is in danger of losing his life hiding in caves and in the wilderness. Now David is king of Israel with an established and flourishing kingdom but he still has surrounding nations attacking him.   If there is one thing David has learned through all the adversity and conflict he has faced in his life, it is that there is no victory without the Lord's help!  And he knows that it comes from praying and seeking Jehovah's aid!    Too many people get saved thinking it will get them out of their trouble. But God never promised us that the Christian life would be a bed of roses!  Actually, we have be warned by the Savior Himself that “in this world we would have tribulation.”  We are at war! Life is a constant battle for the believer! Even when Israel crossed the Jordan River into the Promise Land, they still had battles to fight!   But we have been assured of victory because we have a Leader, the Lord Jesus Christ, who has already “overcome the world” (John 16:33).  He has already won the victory over sin, death, hell and the grave, by His death and resurrection!  Through Him we are now more than conquerors (Romans 8:37-39).  We stand in His victory and having done all we stand (Ephesians 6:10-18).   We often feel so unworthy and weak as we face our daily battles that it is hard to pray and seek the Lord's help. Moses wasn't feeling so strong and confident when he was called to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. He wasn't sure he could defeat the most powerful king of his day, the Pharaoh of Egypt. So, when God appeared to him at the burning bush, He assured Moses that He was “the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”   This was to remind Moses of the character and attributes of the kind of God that was calling and helping him. As the God of Abraham, we learn our God is sovereign wants us to trust Him by faith!  As the God of Isaac, we learn that God has given us a great inheritance simply because we are His child!  As the God of Jacob, we are assured that no matter how miserable a failure we are, how weak we are, how deceitful or sinful we have been, God still desires to be “our God”.    I've said for years, that if God can be the “God of Jacob”, He can be my God.  He can be the God of anyone who will submit to Him as Jacob finally did in Genesis 32 at the Jabbok River, and where God changed his name to “Israel”.  No doubt, this is why the “God of Jacob” is mentioned some 23 times in the Bible.    So, when the people were praying for their king in Psalm 20:1-5, they pleaded for the “God of Jacob” to defend him.  David was a great king, but he wasn't perfect and had made some terrible mistakes and committed some awful sins.  But the “God of Jacob” was his God and despite his weaknesses and failures, he could be assured that God would be his defense!    My friend, today the name of the “God of Jacob” will come to your aid and you can be assured, “That those who know His name will put their trust in Him and He will not forsake those who seek Him!” (Psalm 9:10)   God bless!

Welcome to Day 2458 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 20:6-9 Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2458 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2458 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we will complete our journey through Psalm 20 by focusing on verses 6 through 9. This section of the psalm is a declaration of confidence in God's deliverance and power. It's a powerful conclusion to a psalm that began as a prayer for the king before battle. In these last few verses, the psalmist expresses faith that God will give victory to His anointed one. Together, we'll explore the meaning of these verses and consider how they apply to us in our daily lives as followers of Christ. Let's begin by reading Psalm 20:6-9 from the New Living Translation: Psalm 20:6-9 (NLT): 6 Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power. 7 Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God. 8 Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm. 9 Give victory to our king, O Lord! Answer our cry for help. Confidence in God's Rescue: In verse 6, we see a decisive shift in tone. The psalm began as a prayer for deliverance and protection for the king, but now the psalmist declares confidently, “Now I know that the Lord rescues his anointed king.” There's no longer a sense of uncertainty or pleading—there is assurance. The psalmist is confident that God will rescue His anointed one, King David, and grant him victory. This declaration of confidence is rooted in the understanding of God's covenant relationship with His chosen people. In the Old Testament, the term “anointed” referred to someone chosen by God for a specific purpose, often a king or a priest. In this case, the anointed king is David, and the psalmist expresses faith that God will protect and deliver him because of the special relationship that God has established with him. For us today, this verse holds great meaning as well. As believers, we are “anointed” through our relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate Anointed One. Jesus is our King, and God has promised to rescue and deliver all who belong to Him. This confidence that the psalmist speaks of can be our confidence as well. We can know that the Lord rescues His people—He hears our cries and answers us from His holy heaven. When we face challenges and battles in life, we can rest assured that God is with us. His great power is at work to deliver us from our troubles, just as it was for King David. Whether our struggles are spiritual, emotional, or physical, God is faithful to intervene and rescue us according to His will. The True Source of Strength: In verse 7, we see one of the most well-known and profound statements in this psalm: “Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.” This verse draws a sharp contrast between two sources of strength. On the one hand, there are...

Welcome to Day 2457 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 20:1-5 Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2457 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2457 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we're trekking through Psalm 20, specifically focusing on verses 1 through 5 from the New Living Translation. This is a unique and beautiful psalm because it represents a prayer for the king before he goes into battle. It's a community prayer, asking for God's blessing and protection on their leader. Today's study will explore what these verses meant for King David and how they apply to us in our spiritual battles and challenges. Let's begin by reading Psalm 20:1-5 in the New Living Translation: Psalm 20:1-5 (NLT): 1 In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. 2 May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. 3 May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. 4 May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. 5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers. A Prayer in Times of Trouble: The first verse begins with a powerful declaration: “In times of trouble, may the Lord answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm.” Here, we see the community rallying around their leader, lifting up a prayer for divine protection in the face of impending danger. This psalm was likely sung before King David went into battle, reflecting a deep confidence in God's ability to provide security and protection. This prayer is not just for the king, though. It has broader implications for all of us who face our own “times of trouble.” The psalmist reminds us that when we cry out to the Lord in our distress, we can trust that He hears us and will answer. There's a comforting assurance here—God is not distant or unaware of our struggles. He is near, and His name—the name of the God of Jacob—is a strong and mighty refuge. The reference to “the God of Jacob” is significant. Jacob, as we know from Genesis, was a man who encountered many challenges and struggles, both externally and within himself. Yet, God remained faithful to Jacob, protecting him and fulfilling His promises to him. In invoking the name of the God of Jacob, the psalmist reminds us that this is a God who stays true to His covenant people, even in times of trouble. Just as God was faithful to Jacob, He will be faithful to us, keeping us safe from harm as we trust in Him. This verse speaks to the heart of every believer who has ever faced difficulty. Whether our troubles are physical, emotional, or spiritual, we can cry out to God, knowing that He is both willing and able to answer. Help from God's Sanctuary: The prayer continues in verse 2: “May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem.” Here, we see the request for divine help coming directly from...
