The news was horrific. A live-in foreign domestic helper had been so ill-treated by the family she worked for that she died. The employers were eventually jailed, but I felt it wasn’t enough. They should have suffered the same horrors they put that poor girl through, I thought, and then put to death. Then I wondered if my anger had crossed the line. Was I wrong to think such things? Reading Psalm 109 gave me an insight into our natural sense of justice. David, for one, wrestled with anger toward those who wronged the poor and needy. “May his days be few . . . . May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow,” he charged (vv. 8-9). But King David didn’t take revenge on these men—even though he had the power to. Instead, he turned to God as the true source of justice and deliverance. “May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers, to those who speak evil of me,” he said. “Save me according to your unfailing love” (vv. 20, 26). I believe God made us with an inherent sense of justice, for it reflects His own character. And we can express our feelings honestly. But, ultimately, we’re to leave judgment and punishment to Him—trusting Him to bring justice in His time and way. The apostle Paul states things clearly: “Do not take revenge . . . but leave room for God’s wrath” (Romans 12:19).

In this episode of Chai Beauty, I reflect on Session Two of the When You Pray Bible study, where we dive into the Lord's Prayer and what it means for God to truly be the Alpha and Omega. I share how this study challenged me to see God's goodness in every season, examine my faith in His promises, and ask deeper questions about obedience, provision, and trust.We'll explore:Four ways Scripture describes who God isWhat Psalm 119:33–40 teaches about obedience and joyWhy fearing God matters in our daily livesThe role of the Holy Spirit as our guideHow to live a quiet life, mind your business, and work with your handsSeeing God's goodness even when life feels off track

Psalm 23 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

PSALM 35 1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. 2 Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid. 3 Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation." 4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. 5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; 6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. 7 Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, 8 may ruin overtake them by surprise—may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. 9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. 10 My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, O Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.” 11 Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about. 12 They repay me evil for good and leave me like one bereaved. 13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered, 14 I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother. 15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; attackers gathered against me when I was unaware. They slandered me without ceasing. 16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked; they gnashed their teeth at me. 17 How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my precious life from these lions. 18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you. 19 Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye. 20 They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land. 21 They gape at me and say, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it." 22 O Lord, you have seen this; be not silent. Do not be far from me, Lord. 23 Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. 24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God; do not let them gloat over me. 25 Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!” or say, “We have swallowed him up.” 26 May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace. 27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant.” 28 My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long. FROM THE LESSON Schadenfreude - it is a German word that literally means "harm-joy" and has come to mean "the pleasure that is derived from another's misfortune." Imprecatory Psalms - to imprecate is a word that means to utter a curse against someone or something. The imprecatory psalms are psalms which call for God's judgment to fall down on the wicked. Of the 150 psalms in our Bible, anywhere between 14-28 of them are put in this category of imprecatory psalms. Three Things to Know about Imprecatory Psalms: 1 Complaint is a good and necessary thing. 2 Cursing is God's right response to sin and disobedience. 3 Cursing becomes blessing at the cross. Three Responses to Reading Psalm 35: 1 We agree with David that cursing is God's right response to sin and disobedience. 2 We admit that cursing is God's right response to my sin and disobedience. 3 We allow this reality to motivate us to tell others about the cross of Jesus Christ.  DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1 One of the primary things David is wrestling with in this psalm is schadenfreude. Read verses 15-16, 19, 24, and 26. People were rejoicing over his misfortune. How have you seen or experienced this in your life?  2 Read verses 17 and 22. Biblical complaint is communicating with God about the tension created between what we know about God's character and how we feel about our circumstances. Talk about Biblical complaint with your group. 3 Read verses 4-6 and 26-27. How do you hear these words of cursing from David? Have you ever felt like this toward anyone else? Does knowing that cursing is God's right response to sin and disobedience help you to better understand his words? 4 Read Galatians 3:13-14. Cursing becomes blessing at the cross. Discuss this gospel reality with your group.  5 Read over the three responses to reading Psalm 35 that are listed in the section above. Which one of these responses did you connect with the most this morning? 

Welcome to Day 2514 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2514 – Thanksgiving - A Heart of Gratitude, Daily - Psalm 100 Putnam Church Message – 11/24/2024 A Heart of Gratitude – Psalm 100 Last week, Paul's short but powerful letter to Philemon reminds us about the profoundly Christ-centered concepts of freedom, forgiveness, mercy, and grace. This week is our celebration of Thanksgiving; in a message titled “A Heart of Gratitude, daily,” we will absorb Psalm 100 on 937 of your Pew Bibles. Introduction: Thanksgiving is a time when many of us gather with friends and family, enjoy good food, and reflect on the blessed Thanksgiving season. It's a day set aside to express our gratitude, but true thanksgiving—the kind that goes beyond a single day and shapes our daily lives. Thanksgiving is something we are called to embody year-round. Psalm 100 is a short, yet powerful passage that captures the essence of this kind of heartfelt gratitude toward God. Today, we'll walk through this Psalm together and unpack what it means to live with a heart of thanksgiving. Problem Statement: We live in a world where gratitude often gets lost. Life's challenges, stress, and busyness can distract us from focusing on the blessings we have. Sometimes, we focus more on what's missing rather than what we already possess. As Christians, we are called to live differently. We're called to live in a constant state of thankfulness, not just for what God has done but for who He is. Reading Psalm 100:1-5 (NLT): 1 Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! 2 Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. 3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. Main Points: (Bulletin Insert) Gratitude Starts with Joyful Worship (Psalm 100:1-2) “Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy.” The psalm opens with a call for everyone to shout joyfully to the Lord. This isn't just for a select few—it's a universal call for all the earth! It's a reminder that worship isn't just something we do out of duty or obligation, but it should flow out of a heart full of joy. Illustration: Imagine a little child who runs to greet their father after he comes home from work. They don't just walk quietly to him—they run, they shout, and they jump into his arms with excitement. That's the kind of joyful worship God desires from us. He wants us to come to Him like children, filled with joy and awe. Memorable Point: Thankful hearts lead to joyful worship. When we're truly aware of God's goodness, our natural response is to worship Him with gladness, not out of a sense of duty, but out of sheer delight. Acknowledging Who God Is (Psalm 100:3) “Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.” True thanksgiving...

Dan Gillies preaches on tears in the Bible. The tears of the persecuted, of the bereaved, of the evangelist and others. These tears are precious to the Lord who keeps a record of them all, for He was too a man of tears. Reading: Psalm 56:8. (Recorded at the Larne Bible Conference, Northern Ireland, Aug 2023) The post Put My Tears in Thy Bottle (25 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.
