The first chapter of Esther impresses many readers as simple background information for the following story. Taking a hint from the Jewish Targums (Aramaic translations of the OT), Ron Lindo found that there are many allusions to 1 Kings 1-10, suggesting parallels between the Persian king, Ahasuerus (Xerxes), and Israel's King Solomon. Dr. Lindo is Assistant Professor of Christian Ministry at East Texas Baptist University. His publications include Literary Allusions in Esther: A Study on the Convergence of Intertexts and Narrative. He is presently working on commentaries on Jeremiah and Esther.   Check out related programs at Wheaton College: B.A. in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew): https://bit.ly/4btDp9I  M.A. in Biblical Exegesis: https://bit.ly/4xnLrcN 

Some of the most beautiful prophecies of Jesus Christ's birth and mission are recorded in the second half of Micah. We all know that Bethlehem, the birthplace of David, was prophesied to be the birthplace of the New David and King of Israel, but the larger context reveals much more about who Jesus is and what he came to do! Enjoy this sample from Lesson 12, "The Ruler From Bethlehem (Mic 4-7)" from Dr. Nick's 20 part course, "The Minor Prophets: The Book of the Twelve."

LESSON 253My Self Is Ruler Of The Universe.It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire. What does not occur is what I do not want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has created me.You are the Self Whom You created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your Will in perfect union with my own, which can but offer glad assent to Yours, that it may be extended to Itself.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Hannah invites us to reclaim a sense of childlike awe by intentionally cultivating wonder in the midst of a demanding adult world. She contrasts the fleeting, manufactured escape of worldly magic with the profound, everyday joy of knowing the Creator of the cosmos. Drawing a powerful connection between the staggering vastness of the stars God breathed into existence and the microscopic detail of laminin—the protein holding human cells together—she illustrates that the infinite Ruler of the universe is also an intimately close Father who cares deeply for His broken children. By shifting focus from personal struggles to the beautiful, compassionate character of God, she shows how simple daily rhythms of gratitude, nature, and heartfelt worship can humble the soul, break through complacency, and bring healing reassurance even in seasons of deep grief.Referenced Scriptures:Genesis 1Psalm 33:6Psalm 8:3-4Exodus 34:6-7

Question 3 of the Gospel Way Catechism: Who does God reveal himself to be? The answer: He is the Lord, the great I AM, one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. He is the Creator and Ruler of all that is, seen and unseen. In this episode, we explore the identity of the one true God and what it means that he has revealed himself as Father, Son, and Spirit. We discuss how the Christian understanding of God stands in contrast to a world that often views life as meaningless or encourages us to create our own truth and purpose. Because God is our Creator and Ruler, our lives have lasting meaning, purpose, and security in him.

A counterfactual thought experiment — a departure from the usual researched history on this channel. Thanks to subscriber @history1099 for the idea.In the real world, the Emperor Aurelian reunified a collapsing Rome, rebuilt its currency around the Unconquered Sun, and was murdered in 275 AD by his own officers over a forged kill-list — nine years before Diocletian had to redo the whole recovery. But what if the blade had missed? This is the "what if": a Rome that never fell, a world of three empires instead of a hundred nations, no America, and a war fought not with armies but on a ledger. It's a fiction — but the coin, the currency reform, and the assassination at the center of it are real.Most of my Rome work now lives on The Roman Pattern — heavily researched deep dives on the Republic, the Empire, and civilizational collapse.

In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 28:15–17 and Scripture's sobering warning about the abuse of power. God intends authority to protect the vulnerable, yet Solomon compares a wicked ruler to a roaring lion and a ranging bear hunting the defenseless. This lesson explores how greed and lack of understanding transform leadership into oppression, why those entrusted with authority must hate unjust gain, and why Scripture treats the shedding of innocent blood with such severity. Whether the authority is political, spiritual, professional, or within the home, every leader faces the same question: Am I protecting the people God placed under my care, or am I using my position to prey upon them?

Today on Trending Middle East, the US and Iran have traded another round of strikes, raising fears that a weeks-long lull in the war has come to an end. Several people were killed in US strikes on southern areas in Iran, while Jordan and Kuwait intercepted Iranian attacks early on Wednesday. In the Idlib province of Syria, five people were killed after munitions exploded while being unloaded at a warehouse. The incident reflects the dangers posed by the proliferation of weapons after almost 14 years of civil war in the country. The World Food Programme is halving the number of people receiving food assistance in the occupied West Bank because of a lack of funding. Despite the regional challenges caused by the Iran war, the UK could be ready to sign a long-awaited trade deal with the Gulf within weeks, Trade Minister Anas Sarwar told The National. And a Jordanian toddler with a rare genetic disorder has arrived in Dubai to begin $2.4 million medical treatment funded by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai. Her family had previously launched an online fundraising campaign that went viral.

Welcome to Day 2935 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2935 – Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 3:1-8 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2935 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2935 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. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Master Compass of the Heart – Trusting Yahweh and Healing the Soul On our previous episode, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Three, we reached the dramatic conclusion of Proverbs chapter two, where Solomon warned us against the seductive traps of broken covenants and the smooth, deceitful speech of temptation—a dark path that leads directly down to the chamber of the dead. We saw how those who walk with integrity remain firmly rooted in the land, while the treacherous are yanked away like noxious weeds. Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Five of our ongoing trek through God's Word, we cross into Proverbs chapter three, verses one through eight. This passage contains some of the most famous, beloved, and transformative instructions in all of Holy Scripture. Having spent over fifty years focusing on and studying Biblical wisdom, and having accumulated seventy years of life experiences—walking through seasons of mountain-top success, valley trials, and complex crossroads—I can tell you that these eight verses form the ultimate master compass for the human heart. They teach us how to align our personal choices with the sovereign order of the Almighty, unlocking health, peace, and divine direction for every single step of our journey. Let us open our minds and hearts to the first movement of this royal instruction, beginning in Proverbs chapter three, verses one and two. Here, Solomon issues an urgent, loving plea to his child, commanding them never to forget the foundational things he has taught, but rather to store those divine commands deep within the center of the heart. Solomon promises that when instruction is cherished in this personal way, it produces two remarkable outcomes: it adds many years to a person's life, and it brings a deep, satisfying peace. In Hebrew, this satisfying quality is expressed by the profound word shalom—meaning complete wholeness, emotional rest, and spiritual alignment. Over my seventy years of living, I have observed that a truly satisfying life is never an accident. It is the direct harvest of internalizing God's truth early and keeping His commands at the very center of our daily routines. Moving directly into Proverbs chapter three, verses three and four, Solomon expands on the essential character qualities needed for our trek, urging us never to let loyalty and kindness leave our side. He instructs us to tie these virtues around our neck like a royal necklace, and to write them permanently upon the tablet of our heart. The reward for doing so is immense: finding favor with both God and people, while earning a good, trustworthy reputation. In the original language, the terms translated as loyalty and kindness are chesed and emet—covenant love and steadfast truth! In the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, chesed and emet are not merely pleasant human traits; they are the supreme, defining attributes of Yahweh Himself, proclaimed before the heavenly hosts! When we wear loyalty and truth as our daily garments, we reflect the character of the supreme Ruler of the cosmos to a watching world. In my fifty years of studying wisdom, I have seen that individuals who embody unyielding loyalty and genuine kindness build a legacy of honor that outlasts any earthly monument. Now we arrive at what is arguably the most famous declaration of trust in all of the Scriptures, found in Proverbs chapter three, verses five and six. Solomon commands us to trust in the Lord with all our heart, while explicitly warning us never to depend on our own limited human understanding. In the original Hebrew text, the verb for "trust" is batoch—which vividly describes casting your entire weight upon something, leaning completely face-down without holding anything back in reserve! Solomon tells us to place the full weight of our lives, our families, our fears, and our futures squarely upon the shoulders of Yahweh. Simultaneously, Solomon commands us not to lean upon our own binah—our finite human intellect. In the ancient worldview, human perspective is localized, fragile, and easily blinded by immediate circumstances. But Yahweh, sitting enthroned above the celestial assembly, sees the entire terrain of eternity from beginning to end! When Solomon instructs us to seek His will in all we do—or literally, to know Him in all our ways—he promises that Yahweh Himself will clear our paths and make them straight! Over my seventy years of life, and in my business and personal endeavors, I have faced countless confusing forks in the road. Whenever I tried to rely strictly on my own cleverness, the trail became cluttered with anxiety and unforeseen obstacles. But whenever I surrendered my understanding to Yahweh, He cut through the tangled brush and made the path ahead crystal clear. Continuing into Proverbs chapter three, verse seven, Solomon delivers a direct strike against the root cause of human error: intellectual arrogance! He warns us never to be impressed with our own wisdom, but instead to maintain a profound fear of the Lord and intentionally turn away from evil. The moment we become enamored with our own sophistication, credentials, or past achievements, we blind ourselves to spiritual danger. Self-conceit is a subtle trap that leads straight to compromise! The true antidote is Yirat Yahweh—the reverent fear of the Lord. When we stand in awe of the supreme Creator, recognizing His holy authority above all earthly principalities, turning away from evil becomes the natural, instinctive response of our soul. Solomon concludes this opening section in Proverbs chapter three, verse eight, by revealing a staggering, holistic benefit of spiritual alignment: it brings vibrant healing to the body and marrow-deep strength to the bones! In the Hebrew tradition, the core of a person's physical health was closely linked to their moral and spiritual state. Modern medicine now confirms what biblical wisdom declared thousands of years ago: chronic pride, bitterness, rebellion, and self-reliance produce toxic internal stress that wears down the physical body. But when you yield your mind to God, trust Him completely, and walk in His fear, a divine, refreshing vitality flows through your nervous system, bringing health to your vital center and strength to the very marrow of your frame. As we bring these eight foundational verses together, we see a master blueprint for our daily trek. Solomon calls us to move away from self-sufficiency and step into absolute alignment with our Creator. We store His words, wear His covenant loyalty, trust His sovereign sight, reject self-conceit, and receive His physical and spiritual refreshment. Over fifty years of digging into these proverbs has taught me that this is not a one-time decision; it is a moment-by-moment lifestyle. Every morning when you wake up, you choose whether to lean on your own fragile understanding or to cast your full weight upon the unshakeable rock of Yahweh's promises. Where are you leaning your weight today on your life's trek? Are you trying to figure everything out through your own finite intellect, or are you ready to acknowledge Yahweh in all your ways? Let us write His covenant love and truth deep upon our hearts, bow before His majestic authority, and trust Him to smooth out every crooked path ahead.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with your spouse thinking, "That's not what I meant at all"? Or wondered why you keep having the same argument over and over again? The truth is, most couples aren't struggling because they don't love each other, they're struggling because they communicate differently. In this episode, Dr. Kim is joined by licensed therapist and author Jason Van Ruler to unpack the five communication types and why understanding your spouse's communication style can completely change the way you approach conflict. They talk about why we so often take our differences personally, how stress affects the way we communicate, and why learning to truly listen may be the most powerful thing you can do for your marriage. If you've ever felt misunderstood or wished your spouse "just got you," this conversation will help you replace frustration with understanding and give you practical tools to communicate in a way that brings you closer instead of pushing you apart.   Episode Highlights: Why communication breaks down—and why it's probably not for the reason you think. Discover your communication type and learn how it shapes every conversation with your spouse. Simple shifts that will help you feel more seen, heard, and understood in your marriage. Stop taking communication differences personally and start using them to grow closer.   Quotes from This Episode: Jason VanRuler "We aren't very well versed in communicating for connection." "The more we feel we can't communicate, the more we believe the lie that our spouse must like it that way." "We're experts in what we meant, but we're not experts in what our spouse experienced." "Understanding your communication type takes the personal offense out of conflict and helps you ask, 'What did they mean?'" "A great communicator isn't someone who thinks they're communicating well—it's someone who understands how other people experience them." "When life gets hard, we all go back to our primary communication style. That's why understanding each other matters most in conflict." "From birth, we all want to feel seen, heard, and understood."   Dr. Kim Kimberling "Most couples don't know why they struggle to communicate—they just know it creates distance." "We're fighting our differences instead of embracing them and learning how they can strengthen our marriage." "Bad communication gets in the way of being a great team." "When I really learned to listen to Nancy, it changed our marriage." "Sometimes the simplest advice is the most powerful: let your spouse finish." "If you attack the problem, you can find a solution. If you dance around it, you'll never solve it." "The healthiest marriages keep working on communication because every season of life requires new ways of understanding each other."   Time to Talk About it: When do you feel the most heard and understood by me? Is there anything I could do differently to help you feel that way more often? Which communication style do you think describes each of us best, and how have our differences helped—or challenged—our marriage? What's one small change we could each make this week to communicate with more grace, patience, and understanding?   Mentioned in This Episode: You need to get your hand on Jason's new book: Discovering Your Communication Type: The 5 Paths To Deepen Connections and Stronger Relationships  Sign up for our daily One Thing email!

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Bishop Fulton Sheen's 1974 diagnosis of a “crisis in Christendom” say this coming: family breakdown, media shaped by anti-Christian assumptions, and a society that slowly adjusts to decline like a frog in warming water. We start with Nick Shirley's reporting on alleged adult daycare fraud and the uncomfortable question it raises: when taxpayer money disappears into “programs,” who benefits, and who gets protected when the spotlight turns on? We talk through why certain leaders go silent, why whistleblowers get attacked, and how following the money can reveal the incentives that drive political corruption.From there, we zoom out into the moral and spiritual roots beneath the headlines. We share two simple tests we use to judge whether a public leader is oriented toward the common good: do they defend innocent human life, especially the unborn, and do they defend marriage and the family as the core structure that forms stable citizens? When those pillars collapse, everything else follows: dishonesty becomes normal, vulnerable people get manipulated, and ideologies step in to replace conscience.If you feel the urgency, join us on a practical path: The Claymore Battle PlanSubscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the one moment that challenged you most.Support the show

Marc joins Armchair Expert to discuss the childhood trauma that shaped his life's work, the fallout from disclosing it on national television at 12, and the inspiring uncle whose simple compassion finally made him feel safe. Marc and Dax talk about turning ideas into a program reaching 10 million children, being called out by his mother-in-law for failing to regulate during lockdown, and discovering Yale students often mistake envy for stress. Marc explains why avoiding emotion is bad, how precisely naming a feeling changes what you can do with it, and why the best emotional allies listen instead of trying to fix.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/Take printer ink off your back to school list with HP Smart Tank | https://hp.com/SmartTank See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father Ali Khamenei as Iran’s supreme leader after the U.S.-Israeli air campaign earlier this year, is consolidating power and signaling a tougher stance toward the Trump administration through a major overhaul of Iran’s security leadership. The Guardian reports that President Donald Trump secretly traveled on a different military aircraft after a NATO summit in Turkey in July 2026, while the public, reporters, and some White House staff were led to believe he was aboard Air Force One. The operation was reportedly prompted by a credible Iranian assassination threat. Wisconsin State Rep.

Welcome to Day 2922 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2922 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 149:1-9 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2922 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2922 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. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The New Song of High Praise and Two-Edged Swords – The Sovereign Triumph of the Faithful On our previous expedition—on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty—we stood in awe before the majestic, sweeping panoramic view of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Eight. We listened as the psalmist summoned the entire cosmos into one massive, harmonious choir, calling upon angels, stars, sea creatures, stormy winds, snow, fruit trees, wild beasts, kings, maidens, and little children to join in shouting praises to the exalted name of Yahweh! Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Two of our ongoing trek through the Book of Psalms, we advance directly into the fourth movement of the “Final Hallel”—Psalm One Hundred Forty-Nine, verses one through nine. If Psalm One Hundred Forty-Eight was the universal, cosmic anthem of all creation, Psalm One Hundred Forty-Nine zeroes in with laser-like focus upon the specialized role of God's covenant people, the chasidim—His faithful ones. In these nine powerful verses, we discover a striking, revolutionary synthesis that will challenge our understanding of spiritual authority: a movement that weaves together vibrant, exuberant worship with the execution of divine, cosmic justice. The first segment is: The New Song in the Assembly: Exulting in Our Maker and King Let us open our ears to the joyful invitation that opens this psalm, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the deeply connected thoughts in verse one, verse two, and verse three. Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful. O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. Rejoice, O people of Jerusalem, in your King. Praise his name with dancing; celebrate him with tambourines and harps. The psalmist begins with an energetic, soul-stirring blast of praise, exclaiming, “Praise the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful!” He then immediately directs the heart of the community toward their true identity, declaring, “O Israel, rejoice in your Maker. Rejoice, O people of Jerusalem, in your King. Praise his name with dancing; celebrate him with tambourines and harps.” Notice the specific context established in these opening lines! The worship called for here is not merely private, solitary devotion; it is explicitly located “in the assembly of the faithful”—the kahal chasidim. This is the corporate gathering of those who are bound to Yahweh by covenant loyalty. They are commanded to sing a “new song”—a shir chadash—which, throughout the Old Testament, always signifies a fresh anthem composed in response to a newly experienced, mighty act of divine deliverance! To appreciate this through the ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, consider the titles given to God here: He is both “Maker” and “King.” The surrounding pagan nations bowed before earthly tyrants and territorial deities who claimed to be rulers of the land. But Israel's true King is the very Master of the divine council—the uncreated Creator who spoke the universe into existence! When the covenant community gathers to dance, beat tambourines, and play harps, they are not engaged in mindless ritual; they are holding a joyous royal court celebration, publicly declaring that their ultimate allegiance belongs solely to the supreme Sovereign of heaven and earth. The second segment is: Crowned with Salvation: Rejoicing on the Beds of Rest The narrative now transitions from public, expressive celebration to the deep, intimate affection that Yahweh harbors for His humble servants, combining the logical thoughts found in verse four and verse five. For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds. The psalmist pulls back the curtain on the heart of God, declaring, “For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them. Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.” What an astonishing, deeply comforting reality! The supreme Ruler of the cosmos—the One who commands trillions of stars—takes genuine, personal delight in His people! Look at who He elevates: not the proud, arrogant conquerors of the world, but the anavim—the humble, the lowly, and the gentle. He takes those whom the world dismisses and “crowns them with victory”—or as the Hebrew word yeshua implies, He decks them with salvation, deliverance, and royal beauty! And notice where this joy spills over in verse five: “Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.” In the ancient world, lying on one's bed was a posture of vulnerability, rest, and private reflection in the quiet hours of the night. In earlier psalms, like Psalm One Hundred Forty-Two, the night and the isolated places were associated with deep anxiety, tears, and hiding from enemies in cold caves. But now, under the secure reign of Yahweh, even the bedroom becomes a sanctuary of peace and quiet exultation! The faithful can lie down in safety, resting in divine honor, breaking into spontaneous songs of joy in the middle of the night because their King keeps watch over them. The third segment is: The Dual Weapon: High Praises and the Two-Edged Sword The narrative takes a dramatic, intense turn in verse six and verse seven, introducing a startling juxtaposition that bridges the atmosphere of praise with the arena of cosmic combat. Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, The text shifts from sweet lullabies on night beds to high-stakes spiritual warfare, proclaiming, “Let the praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,” Look at this extraordinary dual posture! In one breath, the faithful have the “high praises” of God in their throats; in the next, they hold a sharp, two-edged sword—a cherev pipiyot—in their hands! To modern ears, combining joyous worship music with hand-to-hand weaponry sounds jarring, but in the biblical worldview, worship and warfare are two sides of the exact same coin. When viewed through the ancient Israelite divine-council framework, this passage carries profound theological depth. In the ancient worldview, the hostile pagan nations were governed by rebellious spiritual principalities—lesser gods who incited human empires to wage war against Yahweh's order and His covenant people. The “vengeance” and “punishment” spoken of here are not acts of personal malice, bitter revenge, or lawless vigilantism. Rather, they represent the enforcement of divine, covenant justice! Praise is not merely an emotional release; it is a spiritual weapon that declares the supremacy of Yahweh, disarming the dark spi“itual pow”rs, w“ile the sw”rd of truth cuts through systemic human rebellion, enforcing the sovereign decrees issued by the heavenly court. The fourth segment is: The Written Judgment: The Glorious Privilege of the Saints The psalmist brings this powerful, martial hymn to its ultimate climax, weaving together the contiguous thoughts in verse eight and verse nine. to bind their kings with chains and their leaders with iron shackles, to execute the judgment written against them. This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones. Praise the Lord! The psalmist describes the complete overthrow of corrupt power structures, declaring that the saints are called, “to bind their kings with chains and their leaders with iron shackles, to execute the judgment written against them. This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones. Praise the Lord!” Look at the absolute authority described here! The proud monarchs, oppressive tyrants, and elite leaders of the earth—who previously thought themselves completely invincible above the law—are bound in iron...

When Jesus sends His disciples across the sea by boat, He dismisses the crowds and goes by Himself to pray. As the disciples' boat goes with difficulty across the sea, Jesus walks on the water to them, showing Himself to be the Maker and Ruler of all creation. The disciples initially react in fear, but Jesus takes away their fear by His Word. He answers Peter's bold request to walk on the water, but Peter's fear causes him to sink. Though the disciples' faith falters, they worship Jesus as the Son of God on the boat. On the other side of the sea, the Son of God continues to heal those who are sick.  Rev.

Welcome to Day 2913 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2913 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 145:14-21 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2913 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2913 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. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Open Hand of the Sovereign King – Satisfying the Soul and Guarding the Faithful On our previous trek together—on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twelve—we stood on the breathtaking mountain pass of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five, exploring verses eight through thirteen. We contemplated the magnificent, self-revealed character of Yahweh; a King who is merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing, covenant-keeping love. We celebrated His everlasting kingdom that spans every physical and spiritual generation across the entire cosmos. Today, as we step onto the final ridge of this magnificent psalm, advancing into Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five, verses fourteen through twenty-one, David brings this grand, acrostic masterpiece to its ultimate, soaring climax. What makes this passage so extraordinary is how it seamlessly bridges the infinite with the intimate. David takes our eyes—which were previously gazing at the eternal throne of the universe—and gently directs them down to the everyday realities of human suffering, physical hunger, and heartfelt prayer. As we close out the very last psalm directly attributed to King David in the Book of Psalms, we will discover how the supreme Ruler of the celestial council personally bends down to lift the weary, open His generous hand to feed all creation, and draw near to everyone who calls upon His name in truth. The first segment is” The Divine Provider: Lifting the Burdened and Opening the Heavenly Hand Let us open our hearts to the tender, sustaining care of our Creator, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical, contiguous thoughts found in verse fourteen, verse fifteen, and verse sixteen. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. In these three beautiful verses, David unveils a radical, breathtaking vision of divine care that would have thoroughly shocked the ancient Near Eastern world. In the pagan nations surrounding Israel, earthly kings and their territorial deities operated with cold, imperious detachment. The pagan gods were believed to be needy, demanding entities who created human beings solely as slaves to build their temples and feed them with ritual sacrifices. Furthermore, human kings in antiquity rarely cared for the weak, the poor, or the crippled; they valued only the strong, the wealthy, and the warrior class. But look at how Yahweh, the true Lord of the divine council, reveals Himself! He is the Sovereign God who actively bends down to help the fallen and lifts up those who are bowed low beneath crushing burdens. David paints a magnificent picture of universal cosmic dependence, declaring that the eyes of all creatures—from the smallest bird in the forest to the highest angelic host in the heavens—look to Yahweh in expectant hope. And how does the King of the universe respond? He does not send a cold bureaucrat, nor does He demand an impossible tribute. Instead, with astonishing simplicity and fatherly warmth, He simply opens His hand! In Hebrew thought, the open hand of Yahweh is the ultimate symbol of effortless, boundless generosity. By a mere gesture of His sovereign hand, He satisfies the deep hunger and thirst of every living thing on earth. Whether it is physical food for the wilderness beast or spiritual sustenance for a weary traveler on life's trek, our God is the generous Provider whose open hand keeps the entire cosmos alive and thriving. The second segment is: The Righteous Refuge: Drawing Near to the Sincere Soul The narrative now deepens, moving from physical provision to moral perfection and intimate spiritual fellowship, as David combines his logical thoughts in verse seventeen, verse eighteen, and verse nineteen. The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. Consider the staggering moral contrast David highlights in verse seventeen! Yahweh is “righteous in everything he does” and “filled with kindness.” In the original language, that word for kindness is chasid—meaning He acts out of absolute, holy loyalty and steadfast covenant love. In the unseen heavenly assembly, where principalities and powers observe the unfolding of human history, Yahweh's reign stands completely unblemished. There is no corruption in His courtroom, no partiality in His judgments, and no cruelty in His decrees. Every single act of His providence is saturated with flawless righteousness and gentle kindness. Then, look at the profound promise in verse eighteen and verse nineteen: “The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.” In ancient royal courts, approaching a human monarch was a terrifying, life-threatening ordeal; you needed official clearance, elevated status, or lavish gifts just to stand in the outer courtyard. Yet, the supreme Ruler of heaven and earth makes Himself immediately accessible to anyone who cries out to Him with a sincere, honest heart! He does not require slick religious jargon or ritual performance; He demands only truth—an authentic, unmasked soul. When those who reverently fear Him cry out from the depths of distress, the Almighty does not turn a deaf ear. He hears their cries, grants their deepest spiritual desires, and personally steps into their circumstances to execute a glorious rescue. The third segment is: The Dual Verdict and the Universal Song of Eternity As we approach the final movement of this extraordinary psalm, David brings his narrative to a powerful, dual-sided climax, weaving together the contiguous thoughts in verse twenty and verse twenty-one. The Lord protects all who love him, but he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. In verse twenty, David presents the ultimate, inescapable crossroads of cosmic history: "The Lord protects all who love him, but he destroys the wicked." In the ancient Israelite worldview, the world is locked in a real spiritual conflict between the kingdom of Yahweh and the forces of chaos, idolatry, and darkness. God's protective guard—His divine shield—encamps continuously around those who align their hearts with Him in love. But those who persistently choose wickedness, oppression, and rebellion against the Creator are choosing their own ultimate undoing. The judgment of Yahweh is not petty vengeance; it is the necessary, holy purging of evil from His creation, ensuring that chaos will never have the final word in His universe. And then, look at how David concludes verse twenty-one! This is an historic moment in the Psalter. David utters his very last recorded words in the Book of Psalms: "I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever." What a magnificent way for the warrior king to sign his final psalm! David begins with his individual vow—"I will praise the Lord"—and then immediately expands his voice to encompass the entire globe, praying that "everyone on earth"—all flesh, all nations, and all generations—would join in blessing Yahweh's holy name for all eternity. David hands off the baton of praise to us, inviting the whole world to join the heavenly council in endless, joyful adoration of our King!

Is Satan still ruling the world, or did Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension fundamentally change history? In this episode, Mike D'Virgilio explores the biblical case that Satan was bound at Christ's first coming, limiting his ability to deceive the nations and opening the way for the Great Commission to advance. Drawing from Revelation 20, John 12, Matthew 12, Luke 10, Genesis 12, and Matthew 28, this discussion argues that the gospel is about more than individual salvation—it's about Christ's present reign and His kingdom bringing blessing, redemption, and transformation to the nations.

Here it is—today we study the final fruit of the Spirit. And isn’t it just like God to save a grand lesson for last? The one fruit every one of us knows we desperately need: Self-control. In mentoring women to pursue their God-given goals and live the life they were created for, I hear this all the time: “Pamela, I just don’t have any willpower. I have no self-control.” Have you ever said that about yourself? But let’s stop and ask a deeper question. Is that really true? Can someone who has been filled with the Holy Spirit truly say they have no self-control? I believe that’s one of the enemy’s favorite lies. It’s a limiting belief designed to keep us striving in our own strength instead of living from the power already at work within us. It’s a lie that makes us buy our own excuses and settle for a little life, all while we were created for a BIG Life. The very presence of God living within you PRODUCES self-control. Let me show you how I know. Most of us refer to Galatians 5:22-23 as the “fruits” of the Spirit—as though Paul is giving us a basket filled with different kinds of fruit. Maybe you’re naturally patient but struggle with kindness. Maybe you have joy but not peace. Maybe you have love but not self-control. It’s like saying, “the basket I was given has grapes, but no strawberries. I just have to struggle through this life with never getting strawberries because I wasn’t given any.” But that’s not what Paul wrote. Look closely. He doesn’t say, “The Holy Spirit produces these fruits.” He says, “The fruit of the Spirit is…” Let’s read it for ourselves, Galatians 5: 22-23, “But the Holy Spirit produces THIS KIND OF FRUIT in our lives: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” Fruit is singular. Paul isn’t describing 9 separate fruits we can pick and choose from. He is describing one Spirit-produced life that reveals itself in 9 beautiful expressions: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Think of it like sunlight passing through a prism. It’s one light, yet it displays many colors. If a prism has sunlight, then it has all the colors. There’s not one defective prism just lacking pink. There’s not another just lacking yellow. They’re all there if the prism has sunlight, just turn it to see. The fruit of the Spirit works much the same way. It is one supernatural life produced by the Holy Spirit, expressed in multiple ways. That changes everything. Self-control isn’t an isolated virtue reserved for naturally disciplined people. It isn’t a personality trait. It isn’t something God gives to a select few while withholding it from everyone else. Yet somehow we believe only the super fit get self-control. Only the ones losing weight, or saving money, or with a clean house have self-control. Only those who consistently meet their goals have self-control. Isn’t that what you’ve believed? And haven’t you dismissed yourself at some point because you just don’t have the same self-control they do? Girl, don’t let the enemy twist this. Don’t let him convince you that you’re lacking the fruit. Are you a believer and follower of Jesus? Have you placed your faith in him and surrendered your life to him? Yes? Then you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. God’s presence dwells within you. And just like when sunlight hits the prism, all the lights are present when you turn it – all 9 expressions of the Spirit are growing in you! You’re not missing one. You weren’t just left out. Self-control is part of the very character the Holy Spirit is growing in EVERY believer – and that means YOU. Self-control is growing in you right along side love and joy, and peace and patience, kindness, goodness and gentleness. Now, does that mean every Christian demonstrates perfect self-control? Of course not. Fruit grows. No one plants an apple tree on Monday and expects a harvest by Friday. Growth is gradual. It is cultivated. It is nourished. It matures over time. The question isn’t, “Do I already have perfect self-control?” The better question is, “Am I yielding to the Spirit who is producing it in me?” That’s an entirely different conversation. You may feel like someone who lacks self-control because you’ve looked at your failures more than God’s promises. But your failures don’t define what the Holy Spirit is capable of producing. If you belong to Christ, the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. That means the seed of self-control has already been planted. The issue isn’t whether God has given it. The issue is whether we’re allowing Him to cultivate it. This life isn’t about gritting our teeth and trying harder. It has always been about surrendering more deeply. Now, let’s study self-control and see what it really means. The Greek word translated as ‘self-control’ means power and strength within. What this means is the Holy Spirits gives every believer an internal ruler stronger than external temptation. No matter what temptation you’re facing, there’s an internal ruler stronger! There’s a power within you that can turn away, resist, and overcome. Y’all this past weekend I was at my Mama’s house and she made her award winning, best thing you’ve ever eaten in your whole life, blackberry cobbler. She had gone out and picked the fresh blackberries herself. She had made her secret pie crust that’s thick and perfectly flaky and buttery. Then, she made homemade icrecream to go with it. BUT I am committed with a healthy meal plan right now that does not include cobbler or ice cream, dad-gum-it! So, how do you think I did? Do you think I was able to withstand the temptation of this culinary perfection? You bet your butt I did, and here’s how – I HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN ME and I KNOW THERE’S AN INTERNAL RULER STRONGER THAN THAT TEMPTATION. (I just have to listen to the right voice.) Does God really care if I eat mama’s blackberry cobbler and homemade icecream? Nahhh, I don’t think so. But I do believe God cares about my health because this body is a vessel for his Holy Spirit. And I do believe he cares about the commitments I make and my willingness to tap into the power he has given me to follow through with those commitments. What the Holy Spirit is growing within us isn’t the absence of desire. (I still really wanted a very large bowl of that greatness.) What the Holy Spirit is growing within us is proper rule OVER DESIRE. It’s the internal governor that says, “You don’t have to do every little thing you feel like doing. You don’t have to get everything you think you want. You don’t have to have immediate gratification. You’re not a victim to your every desire. Yield to God’s power within you.” 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline.” That’s what God has given you. Now it’s up to you to abide in him and surrender to the power he has put within you! Before Jesus saved us, our flesh ruled. We set on our throne, our desires issued commands and our minds justified them. Our bodies obeyed. But with Jesus we have the Holy Spirit, now we’re under a different command. There’s a different ruler on the throne. Jesus sits in authority. The Spirit empowers new desires. And yes, our flesh still speaks, but it is not longer the king. Self-control is evidence there’s a new king governing our heart and life. We become a new person with the fruit of the Holy Spirit growing in us! Now, understand this, the Holy Spirit does not merely hand us extra strength. He reshapes our loves. God’s commands come with God’s enabling grace. The Spirit writes God’s law on our hearts, creating new desires that increasingly align with His will. As we grow in Christ, we don’t just have stronger disciple, we actually grow to WANT WHAT GOD WANTS. The deepest direction of our heart is changing!!!!!! You can’t will yourself into that change – that’s a direct result of the Holy Spirit working within you. Now here’s what I hope you’ll never forget – Self-control is not about becoming a stronger version of you. It’s about becoming a more surrendered version of you. The world says, “Try harder.” Jesus says, “Abide in Me.” The world says, “Get more disciplined.” The Holy Spirit says, “Walk with Me.” Maybe you’ve spent years telling yourself, “I just don’t have any self-control.” Maybe you’ve believed that’s just the way you are. Maybe you’ve looked at other women and thought, “They’re disciplined. They’re organized. They’re healthy. They’re financially wise. They have self-control…I just don’t.” Sweet friend, that’s not your identity. If you belong to Christ, the Holy Spirit lives within you. And if the Holy Spirit lives within you, then He is producing His fruit within you—including self-control. The question isn’t whether God has given it. The question is whether you’ll believe it’s there…and begin partnering with Him instead of arguing with Him. Every time you’re tempted to quit… Every time you want to say something you’ll regret… Every time you want to give in to fear… Every time you want immediate gratification instead of God’s best… Pause. Remember who’s on the throne. Remember there is an internal Ruler who is stronger than every external temptation. Then choose to listen to His voice instead of the voice of your flesh. Will you still have moments where you fail? Absolutely. But failure is no longer your identity. It’s simply another opportunity to turn back to the One who is faithfully growing His fruit in you. Fruit doesn’t grow because we strain harder. Fruit grows because it stays connected to the vine. Jesus said in John 15, “Abide in Me.” He didn’t say, “Impress Me.” He didn’t say, “Perform for Me.” He said, “Remain in Me.” That’s the secret. As you remain with Him, the Holy Spirit keeps doing what only He can do. He changes your desires. He renews your mind. He strengthens your resolve. He reminds you of truth in the moment you need it. He gives you power to say “no” to what steals life so you can say “yes” to what leads to life. And one day you’ll look back and realize something remarkable. The things that once mastered you… don’t anymore. Not because you finally found enough willpower. But because the Spirit of God has been faithfully transforming you from the inside out. That’s the fruit of self-control. Not a life of white-knuckled striving. A life that is increasingly ruled by Jesus. And isn’t that what we’ve been studying all along? Self-control is simply Jesus ruling where our flesh used to. That’s the fruit the Holy Spirit is growing in you. So don’t leave here saying, “I need more willpower.” Leave here saying, “Holy Spirit, have more of me.” Follow Pamela on Instagram – https://instagram.com/headmamapamela Or Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/pamela.crim Find out more about BIG Life – http://biglifehq.com
