LUNES 8 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2025 TU DOSIS DIARIA DE ESPERANZA “Entonces Débora dijo a Barac: Levántate, porque este es el día en que Jehová ha entregado a Sísara en tus manos. ¿No ha salido Jehová delante de ti? Y Barac descendió del monte de Tabor, y diez mil hombres en pos de él.” (Jueces 4:14) En todos los llamados que Dios le hace a su pueblo por su desobediencia, nunca lo vemos apartándose de él. A pesar de lo malo que hayan hecho y de tener que sufrir las consecuencias por traicionarlo, el juicio sobre los que los opriman llegará. Pero será cuando su pueblo clame a Él arrepentido. La pregunta que le hizo Débora a Barac es la misma que podemos hacernos en los momentos en que nos parece que Satanás gana ventaja: ¿No ha salido Dios delante de ti? Sabían dónde iba: Delante Esa es la fe contagiosa que, como Débora, debemos sembrar para alcanzar la victoria y agradecer a Dios por su amor.

Pierwsze wzmianki o rydwanach w Biblii pojawiają się już w Księdze Rodzaju.Gdy Józef zyskał zaufanie faraona, był obwożony jego rydwanem, aby pokazać jego nową pozycję. Później sam posiadał własny rydwan. W Rodzaju 46:29 czytamy: “Józef kazał zaprząc swój wóz i wyjechał do Goszen na spotkanie Izraela, ojca swego”. W oryginale hebrajskim występuje tutaj słowo merkawáh oznaczające rydwan. Czy jest to jednak egipski wynalazek?Zarówno konie jak i rydwany zaczęto używać na stepach. Chodzi tutaj o ludy indoeuropejskie, które jako pierwsze zaczęły używać szprychowe koła i parę koni. W ten sposób powstał lekki pojazd bojowy. Należy to odróżnić od cięższych wozów, z pełnymi kołami ciągniętymi przez woły. Takie wozy były wcześniejsze i używano je na terenach dzisiejszej Polski. Konie pochodziły jednak ze stepu. Są one szybsze od wołów, ale jednocześnie słabsze. Tak więc rydwany musiały być lżejsze. Doprowadzono do tego między innymi zmieniając pełne koła w szprychowe.Taką konstrukcję wraz z końmi przejęły ludy irańskie oraz Hetyci, a od nich Egipcjanie. Ci ostatni jeszcze bardziej odchudzili rydwan, przez co stał się on szybszy. Najczęściej było w nim dwóch wojowników: woźnica i łucznik. Egipcjanie mieli łuki kompozytowe. Zarówno rydwan jak i ten łuk Egipcjanie przejęli od Hyksosów. Był to lud semicki, który podbił dolny Egipt i ustanowił tam swoją dynastię. XV dynastia rządząca w Egipcie to właśnie Hyksosi. Jest z tym związana pewna interpretacja Biblii.W Wyjścia 1:8 czytamy: “Tymczasem rządy nad Egiptem objął nowy król, który nie znał Józefa”. Niektórzy historycy twierdzą, że chodzi właśnie o zmianę dynastii. Według nich gdy Józef przybył do Egiptu rządzili tam semiccy Hyksowie. Jednak Egipcjanie pokonali ich i ponownie zaczęła rządzić egipska XVI dynastia. Prześladowania Żydów i próba unicestwienia ich jako narodu miała być właśnie powodowana strachem przed semitami. Nie jest to udowodniony fakt, ale tak według niektórych historyków należy interpretować zmianę w traktowaniu Żydów w Egipcie.Wracając do rydwanu Hyksosi mający rydwany i łuki kompozytowe pokonali Egipcjan. Ci jednak przejęli obie te rzeczy od swoich wrogów i je udoskonalili. Stworzyli lżejsze rydwany. Przesunęli oś kół do tyłu przez co egipskie rydwany były zwrotniejsze. Mając te ulepszone rydwany wygonili Hyksosów. Później podbili też Kanaan. Ich taktyka polegała na tym, że podjeżdżali do wrogów strzelali do nich z łuku i odjeżdżali. Łuki kompozytowe były mniejsze i świetnie nadawały się do użycia z rydwanu. Te wozy wojenne miały jednak jedną wadę.W Wyjścia 14:23 czytamy “Egipcjanie ścigali ich i weszli za nimi w środek morza - wszystkie konie faraona, jego rydwany i jego jeźdźcy”. Egipcjanie ścigali Mojżesza i Izraelitów uchodzących z Egiptu. Kolejny werset 25 mówi: “sprawił, że odpadły koła jego rydwanów, tak że z trudnością mogli posuwać się naprzód”. Rydwany miały trudność poruszać się po podmokłym terenie. Prawdopodobnie o to tutaj chodzi gdy mowa jest o trudnościach w posuwaniu rydwanów naprzód. Tą słabą stronę rydwanów wykorzystano później w czasach sędziego Baraka.Król Kanaanu miał 900 rydwanów z żelaznymi kosami. Dowodził nimi jego wódz Sysera. Sędzia Barak i jego oddziały schronili się na górze Tabor, gdzie nie mogły wjechać rydwany. Później jednak zeszli. W Sędziów 4:15 czytamy: “I wzbudził Pan popłoch u Sysery i wśród wszystkich jego wozów, i w całym jego obozie przez Baraka, tak iż Sysera zeskoczył z wozu i uciekał pieszo”. Dlaczego Sysera nie pokonał Baraka i czemu uciekał pieszo. Najwyraźniej wylał potok Kiszon, który sprawił, że rydwany stanęły na mokrej ziemi. W Sędziów 5:21 czytamy: “Potok Kiszon porwał ich, Prąd potoku Kiszon”.Później sami Izraelici mieli rydwany. O Salomonie czytamy w 2 Kronik 1:14: “Następnie zebrał Salomon wozy wojenne i jezdnych, tak że miał tysiąc czterysta wozów wojennych i dwanaście tysięcy jezdnych, i poumieszczał ich w grodach-wozowniach i przy swojej królewskiej osobie w Jeruzalemie”. Warto zwrócić szczególnie uwagę na grody-wozownie czyli miasta rydwanów. Wiele miast w górach kiepsko się nadawało do powożenia rydwanów. Nadawała się jednak do tego dolina Jizreel.Po podziale Izraela na dwa państwa rydwany znajdowały się właśnie na północy, która miała tereny lepsze do tego typu pojazdów. Rydwanami jeździli tacy królowie 10-plemiennego królestwa Izraela jak Omri i jego syn Achab. Archeologia potwierdziła, że miasta rydwanów to były Jizreel oraz Megiddo. Wielu królów walczyło z rydwanów i na nich zginęło. W 1 Królewskiej 22:34 czytamy o Achabie: “Wtem pewien wojownik ni stąd ni zowąd naciągnął łuk i trafił króla izraelskiego w spojenie między pasem a pancerzem. A ten rzekł do swojego woźnicy: Zawróć i wywieź mnie z pola bitwy, gdyż jestem ranny”.W 2 Królewska 9:21 czytamy: “Wtedy Jehoram rozkazał: Zaprzęgaj! I zaprzężono do jego rydwanu, i wyjechali, Jehoram, król izraelski, i Achazjasz, król judzki, każdy na swoim rydwanie, wyjechali naprzeciw Jehu i spotkali się z nim przy polu Nabota Jezreelczyka”. Jehu przyjechał jak szalony na rydwanie do Jizreel. Naprzeciw wyjechali król Izraela i król Judy. Jehu zabił obu i sam został królem Izraela. Warto zwrócić uwagę, że każdy z nich miał swój własny rydwan.Przed wyborem pierwszego króla Samuel zapowiedział co będzie on robił. W 1 Samuela 8:11 czytamy: “Będzie zabierał waszych synów i sadzał ich na swoich wozach i rumakach, aby biegali przed jego wozem”. Król Izraela miał powoływać ludzi także do walki na rydwanach wojennych. Inne proroctwo zapowiadało pokój. W Psalmie 46:10 (9) czytamy: “Kładzie kres wojnom aż po krańce ziemi, Łamie łuki i kruszy włócznie, Wozy ogniem pali”. Rydwany były tak związane z wojną, że położenie kresu wojnom musiało się wiązać ze spaleniem tych wozów bojowych.Rydwany bojowe używano w Egipcie, Asyrii i Persji. Później jednak nastała władza Greków. Używali oni głównie piechoty, później także konny. Podobnie Rzymianie, którzy przyszli po Grekach. Rydwanów zaczęto używać wyłącznie do wyścigów i w celach prestiżowych. W Dziejach Apostolskich 8:28 mamy opis dostojnika królowej etiopskiej Kandaki. Czytamy tam: “Powracał, a siedząc na swoim wozie, czytał proroka Izajasza”. Ten dostojnik miał woźnicę oraz miejsce dla Filipa.Osobny temat to opis rydwanów w proroctwach biblijnych. Np. w Księdze Ezechiela rozdziale pierwszym nie pada słowo rydwan, ale w wielu Bibliach pojawia się komentarz typu: Wizja rydwanu Bożego. Jest tak np. w Biblii Tysiąclecia. Ostatni raz rydwan pojawia się w Objawieniu 9:9 gdzie czytamy: “Miały też pancerze niby pancerze żelazne, a szum ich skrzydeł jak turkot wozów wojennych i wielu koni pędzących do boju”. Apostoł Jan prawdopodobnie nie widział ataku rydwanów, ale pewnie widział wyścigi rydwanów.Ale już wcześniej wielu proroków wspominało o rydwanach. Elizeusz zobaczył jak jego poprzednika Eliasza zabiera ognisty rydwan. Nazwał go wtedy swoim ojce oraz rydwanem Izraela (2 Królów 2:11, 12). Tym wozom bojowym oddawano też cześć. 2 Królów rozdział 23:11 wspomina o rydwanach poświęconych słońcu, które król Jozjasz kazał spalić. Księga Izajasza, Jeremiasz i innych pororoków często wspominają o rydwanach. Mowa tam o tym aby nie liczyć na rydwany Egiptu, ale na Boga, którego wozy bojowe przyjdą szybko jak huragan.Podsumowując. Początkowo rydwany mieli wrogowie Izraela czyli Egipcjanie, Kananejczycy, Filistyni, Syryjczycy itd. Już jednak król Salomon sam jeździł rydwanem i posiadał tego typu wojska. Na pewno wielkie oddziały wozów bojowych posiadali tacy królowie Izraela jak Omri i jego syn Achab. Mówi o tym nie tylko Biblia, ale potwierdza to także archeologia takich miast jak Megiddo czy Jizreel. Prorocy biblijni często odwoływali się do szybkości rydwanu, przerażającego odgłosu pędzących kół, ale też przestrzegali przed ufaniem wozom bojowym.Kazał go też obwozić na drugim wozie swoim, a wołano przed nim: Na kolana! Tak ustanowił go namiestnikiem całej ziemi egipskiej.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/41/43A Józef kazał zaprząc swój wóz i wyjechał do Goszen na spotkanie Izraela, ojca swego. A gdy go zobaczył, rzucił mu się na szyję i długo płakał w objęciach jego.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/1-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/46/29Tymczasem rządy nad Egiptem objął nowy król, który nie znał Józefa.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/1/8Egipcjanie ścigali ich i weszli za nimi w środek morza - wszystkie konie faraona, jego rydwany i jego jeźdźcy.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/14/23I sprawił, że odpadły koła jego rydwanów, tak że z trudnością mogli posuwać się naprzód. Wtedy rzekli Egipcjanie: Uciekajmy przed Izraelem, gdyż Pan walczy za nich z Egipcjanami.https://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/2-Ksiega-Mojzeszowa/14/25I wzbudził Pan popłoch u Sysery i wśród wszystkich jego wozów, i w całym jego obozie przez Baraka, tak iż Sysera zeskoczył z wozu i uciekał pieszohttps://biblia-online.pl/Biblia/Warszawska/Ksiega-Sedziow/4/15Potok Kiszon porwał ich, Prąd potoku Kiszon.

WELCOME TO LIFE IN CHRIST CHURCH IN MARION, KY!We're so glad you've joined us online today. Whether you're watching from near or far, we believe God has something powerful for you in this moment

With decades of experience, Wes Tabor shares intense DEA war stories, reflecting on generational changes in policing, the relentless rise of gang violence, and the deadly complexities of drug trafficking in Latin America. He reveals the harsh truth about cartel power, corruption, and the constant fight to uphold personal integrity in the face of danger. You'll hear about joint operations with other agencies, life-threatening confrontations, and the evolution of investigative techniques. Wes also discusses life after the badge, the importance of resilience, and lessons from his book Infiltrate America, which exposes the rise of Latin American gangs on U.S. soil.

There was so much to unpack with Wes about his incredible career in law enforcement and his accomplishments off duty that this is my first three-part interview. Thanks for sticking around until the end! Honestly, I could have talked to Wes all day. I will definitely have him back on the show in the future. Here's a quick bio of just some of Wes’s accomplishments. Wes became a Hernando County Sheriff’s Deputy in 1988. As a deputy, Wes served as a S.W.A.T. lead, having completed the FBI S.W.A.T. school in 1995. Wes was a Defensive Tactics Instructor, anti-crime and property Detective, and earned the Florida Medal of Valor in 1996 for his heroism by disregarding his own safety, running into an apartment fire, saving multiple lives, and Mittens the cat.  In 1998, he was hired by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Wes had a 23-year career with the DEA and has been stationed in Field Divisions such as: St. Louis, Miami, Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, and internationally in cities such as Guatemala City, Guatemala, Caracas, Venezuela, Cartagena, Colombia, and Bogota, Colombia. During this time, he was representing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in positions such as: supervisory special agent, country attaché, assistant country attaché, Deputy Section Chief, Assistant to the Global Deputy Chief of Operations, and Assistant Special Agent in Charge. Wes was paralyzed in an auto accident where a drunk driver and career criminal had been at fault. Fortunately, he recovered from his spinal cord injury (C5/6) fracture and went back to being a DEA agent. The suspect later absconded and was on the run for 23 years only to be captured in 2024.  He was given probation for 6 months by a local judge in Minnesota.  From 2012 to 2015, Wes was assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency as an Assignee to various locations in the Western Hemisphere, conducting various classified activities on behalf of the DEA while embedded with the CIA. He has worked with some of the most prestigious law enforcement and military agencies, conducting operations and training modules, with the FBI, Secret Service, Defense Intelligence Service, US Army Special Forces, and Navy Seals. As a DEA agent, rising through the ranks to Assistant Special Agent in Charge in Los Angeles, he was the division's Strike Force Commander, where he oversaw global money-laundering investigations, High Value Mexican Cartel Investigation, and led his teams in pursuit of some of the largest cases on the globe. Thanks again for sticking around for the conclusion of this amazing interview. I think we covered a lot of ground and went places that I didn’t foresee. But that’s the fun of running a podcast. Please enjoy the conclusion of my interview with Wes Tabor.  In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      What was the motivation for informants working with the DEA in Venezuela? ·      Hezbollah and Hamas in Venezuela? ·      The TDA gang that started in Venezuela and them spreading. This gang and others are spreading into the United States, and the influence they have and how they gain traction in America.  ·      What are the most dangerous gangs we should be the most aware of, and what can be done to stop them? ·      The U.S./Mexican border has been a hot button for a while now and is in the news all the time. What are his thoughts, and how easy has it been and is it for these gangs to come into our country illegally? ·      Gangs communicating and recruiting through encrypted social media. ·      International gangs using cryptocurrencies. ·      I don’t think the average American understands these gangs and what they are capable of. I think about the murder rates you had in your book in Jamaica and Central America, 2000-2017: 2.5 million murders, 2/3 of the world’s murders. Should we be worried that this will spill over into our country? ·      In Milwaukee, we had the Latin (Spanish Cobras, Latin Kings, Brown Pride, Mexican Posse, and La Familia) and Black gangs (Gangster Disciples, Black Gangster Disciples, Kia Boys, and Vice Lords). The Latin gangs were much more organized, and the OGs didn’t give up much to the cops. They were busted with RICO cases, but all that did was bring in the black gangs where there was a void. It feels like a war that never ends. What can be done to stop it? ·      His book, Infiltrate America - Blood Routes and the Rise of Latin American Gangs. Why write it? ·      How painful was it for him to write this book? From personal experience, I know this can put PTSD into overdrive, reliving some ugly stuff. ·      Post-retirement from the DEA. What does he miss the most/least from LE? All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.   Check out Wes's newest book, Infiltrate America: Blood Routes and the Rise of Latin American Gangs Check out the new Cops and Writers YouTube channel! Check out my newest book, The Good Collar (Michael Quinn Vigilante Justice Series Book 1)!!!!! Enjoy the Cops and Writers book series. Please visit the Cops and Writers website.

On today’s episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, I have with me Author and Retired DEA Agent Wes Tabor. There was so much to unpack about his incredible career in law enforcement and his accomplishments off duty that this is my first three-part interview. Part three of the interview will go live tomorrow. Honestly, I could have talked to Wes all day. I will definitely have him back on the show in the future. Here's a quick bio of just some of Wes’s accomplishments. Wes became a Hernando County Sheriff’s Deputy in 1988. As a deputy, Wes served as a S.W.A.T. lead, having completed the FBI S.W.A.T. school in 1995. Wes was a Defensive Tactics Instructor, anti-crime and property Detective, and earned the Florida Medal of Valor in 1996 for his heroism by disregarding his own safety, running into an apartment fire, saving multiple lives, and Mittens the cat.  In 1998, he was hired by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Wes had a 23-year career with the DEA and has been stationed in Field Divisions such as: St. Louis, Miami, Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, and internationally in cities such as Guatemala City, Guatemala, Caracas, Venezuela, Cartagena, Colombia, and Bogota, Colombia. During this time, he was representing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in positions such as: supervisory special agent, country attaché, assistant country attaché, Deputy Section Chief, Assistant to the Global Deputy Chief of Operations, and Assistant Special Agent in Charge. Wes was paralyzed in an auto accident where a drunk driver and career criminal had been at fault. Fortunately, he recovered from his spinal cord injury (C5/6) fracture and went back to being a DEA agent. The suspect later absconded and was on the run for 23 years, only to be captured in 2024. He was given probation for 6 months by a local judge in Minnesota.  From 2012-2015, Wes was assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency as an Assignee to various locations in the Western Hemisphere, conducting various classified activities on behalf of the DEA while embedded with the CIA. He has worked with some of the most prestigious law enforcement and military agencies, conducting operations and training modules, with the FBI, Secret Service, Defense Intelligence Service, US Army Special Forces, and Navy Seals. As a DEA agent, rising through the ranks to Assistant Special Agent in Charge in Los Angeles, he was the division's Strike Force Commander, where he oversaw global money-laundering investigations, High Value Mexican Cartel Investigation, and led his teams in pursuit of some of the largest cases on the globe. I told you there’s a lot to Wes’s story! Today and tomorrow’s episodes will deal with the meat and potatoes of Wes’s incredible story.   In today’s episode, we discuss: ·      Wes’s path to the DEA. ·      His first three years as a DEA agent were a blur, working day and night.     The horrible things people would do while on methamphetamine. ·      Making big cases out of little cases. ·      Being struck by a drunk driver, breaking his neck, and being paralyzed. Doctors told him he may never walk again, to three years later back on the job being in Guatemala, doing helicopter operations. ·      Seizing over 30 million dollars in cash in an operation in Chicago involving the Sinaloa Cartel. ·      Latin gang operations in Chicago. ·      His time in South/Central America. In his book, Infiltrating America, he talks about his time there, especially in Venezuela. ·      What do you think the difference is between socialism and communism?   All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.

Po desetletju premora je letos znova zaživel tabor otrok, ki del ali pa celotno svoje življenje preživljajo v rejniških družinah. V Izoli so nekaj nepozabnih dni preživeli s spremljevalci, s katerimi so delili izkušnje, stiske, strahove in načrte za prihodnost.

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, it's a Special Session Special Episode Special! Again! And this time it's not even our fault! As the effects of the Big Bullshit Bill come into focus, Colorado has to cut ANOTHER billion dollars from the state budget on top of the billion dollars TABOR forced us to cut earlier in the year. Where will lawmakers find the money? Then, a Republican state representative leaked screenshots of a secret group chat (hey, weren't they not supposed to have those anymore?) to a reporter where other members were making sexist and racist comments about a Democratic colleague; is there no depth to the depravity of the Colorado GOP? Then, tariffs are both dumb as shit and super unpopular. That's it, that's the segment. And finally, brain worms are eating your vaccines; Gabe Evans is saving Medicaid by kicking everyone off it; and any Republican brave or stupid enough to have a town hall meeting is getting what they deserve. That's it for this episode!

Y Barac descendió del monte de Tabor, y diez mil hombres en pos de él. Jueces 4:14 Sísara, un poderoso guerrero, dirigió una coalición de gobernantes cananeos. Tenía una flota de novecientos carros de hierro, carros que causaron pavor entre los israelitas. ¿Qué tribu harapienta y mal armada de antiguos esclavos podría resistir ese tipo de poder? El Señor le dijo a la profeta Débora que era hora de que Israel se enfrentara a Sísara. El general Barak fue elegido para liderar la carga, ¡pero se negó! Insistió en que Deborah lo acompañara. Así lo hizo, ¡Dios envió lluvia! Mucha lluvia. La mayor fortaleza de Sísara, los carros de hierro, se convirtió en un lastre. El barro rezumaba agarró los carros como pegamento pegajoso. Barac y los israelitas vieron esos carros de hierro como obstáculos intimidantes e insuperables. Deborah los vio como detalles triviales. Ella sabía que Dios era soberano sobre todas las cosas, ¡incluido el clima! Esos carros de hierro se convirtieron en grandes trozos de óxido. ¿Cómo miramos las terribles circunstancias? ¿Vemos solo los obstáculos? Con suerte, tenemos la fe para creer que Dios puede convertir cualquier situación en una victoria. Después de todo, como Deborah le recordó a Barac, ¿no se ha adelantado el Señor a nosotros?

What if the whole story of the Bible could be told through four mountains?In this conversation, Mike speaks with theologian and pastor Michael Niebauer about his new book, Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion. They explore how the geography of Eden, Sinai, Tabor, and Zion can guide readers toward a deeper understanding of Scripture—and a more faithful approach to preaching it.Michael reflects on his own development as a preacher, the discipline of lectionary-based sermons, and the formative role of repetition, feedback, and theological tradition. He outlines how early Christian exegesis, especially the writings of figures like Ephrem the Syrian, shaped his thinking and helped him connect the Old and New Testaments with fresh clarity.Other highlights include:Why Eden was probably a mountainHow to preach biblical symbolism without confusing your listenersThe Bible as unapologetically TrinitarianBalancing historical context with spiritual readingMinistry to the elderly through Heritage MissionAnd why every sermon should lead to love of God and neighbourWhether you're a seasoned preacher or simply looking for new ways to read the Bible, this episode offers theological insight and practical encouragement.Michael Niebauer is an Anglican Pastor and Director of Heritage Mission, an initiative that trains leaders to start worship services in care facilities. He is the author of Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion and Virtuous Persuasion, a Christianity Today Book Award finalist and Outreach Magazine's 2022 Missional Resource of the Year.Resources Mentioned: You can purchase Michael's book  Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion here:  https://lexhampress.com/expositors —————Join us August 22–23 at Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg for the next Expositors Collective Training Weekend — a two-day, interactive event designed to equip and encourage Bible teachers and preachers of all experience levels.

Jess's name may sound familiar to some of you who've been long-time listeners to SASS…she was my guest on Episode 44, in August, 2023. The reason I'm featuring Sirona Healing Center this week is two-fold: first, it's a pleasure to have Jessica Pride back as a guest this week. Secondly, I am always pleased to present avenues of support and healing that my audience may be able to access to help them on their healing journey. And, after talking with Jessica about her plan to open this type of facility, even 2 years aga when I met up with Jess at the End Violence Against Women-International annual conference in San Diego, I was excited to hear that she had accomplished this dream of hers. So, I wanted to make you aware of this avenue of potential support and healing. This episode is an additional avenue for you to learn about Sirona, what they offer, and what they plan to offer in the future.

Psalm 89,I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.2 For I said, “Steadfast love will be built up forever; in the heavens you will establish your faithfulness.”3 You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant:4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.'” Selah5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!6 For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,7 a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?8 O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you?9 You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass; you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.11 The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them.12 The north and the south, you have created them; Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.13 You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.15 Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,16 who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted.17 For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.18 For our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.19 Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one, and said: “I have granted help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.20 I have found David, my servant; with my holy oil I have anointed him,21 so that my hand shall be established with him; my arm also shall strengthen him.22 The enemy shall not outwit him; the wicked shall not humble him.23 I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.24 My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.25 I will set his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.26 He shall cry to me, ‘You are my Father, my God, and the Rock of my salvation.'27 And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.28 My steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.29 I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens.30 If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules,31 if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments,32 then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes,33 but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.34 I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.35 Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.36 His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me.37 Like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah38 But now you have cast off and rejected; you are full of wrath against your anointed.39 You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust.40 You have breached all his walls; you have laid his strongholds in ruins.41 All who pass by plunder him; he has become the scorn of his neighbors.42 You have exalted the right hand of his foes; you have made all his enemies rejoice.43 You have also turned back the edge of his sword, and you have not made him stand in battle.44 You have made his splendor to cease and cast his throne to the ground.45 You have cut short the days of his youth; you have covered him with shame. Selah46 How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath burn like fire?47 Remember how short my time is! For what vanity you have created all the children of man!48 What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah49 Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?50 Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the insults[f] of all the many nations,51 with which your enemies mock, O Lord, with which they mock the footsteps of your anointed.52 Blessed be the Lord forever!Amen and Amen.Structure and SummaryThis psalm is the final psalm in Book Three of the Psalms. The first two books are mainly written by David, while the third book has psalms primarily written by Asaph and emphasizes holy worship. Nevertheless, this final psalm focuses on God's covenant with David.The psalm is arranged into five sections: two small sections at the beginning and end, and three larger sections in the middle. The first section (v. 1-4) introduces the twin themes: God's character and his covenant with David. In this psalm, his character is defined by his steadfast love and his faithfulness, both of which appear seven times in the psalm. Both of these words describe God's character, but they are particularly applied in terms of his covenant with David — the promise that the seed of David will sit on an everlasting throne (v. 3-4). Notice the verbs in 2-4: steadfast love will be built up forever; and David's throne will be built forever. God's faithfulness is established in the heavens; David's offspring will be established forever. And this is crucial: the psalmist says he will sing of God's steadfast love and faithfulness forever.The psalmist then celebrates God's majesty, might, and saving power (v. 5-16). God is incomparable; there is no one like him. He sits enthroned among his heavenly council, but he is supreme over all of them.All of creation belongs to God. He is the Almighty Maker of Heaven and Earth. His dominion is from north to south, and east to west, from the highest heavens to the seas to the land. He is all-powerful, with a strong right hand and mighty arm. But he's not merely a tower of power, like the false god of Islam. His power is directed by his holy character. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne, and his steadfast love and faithfulness go before him, radiating from his presence (v. 14). But God isn't simply unique among the heavenly beings; nor does he simply rule the heavens and the earth from his throne. He also crushes his enemies. In this passage, Rahab is not a reference to the prostitute from Jericho. Instead it's a reference to a dragon-demon associated with Egypt (Psalm 87:4; Isa 30:7). Crushing Rahab is linked to ruling and stilling the sea, just as God crushed the king of Egypt beneath a wall of water. Job 26:12,“By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.”Isaiah 51:9,“Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in days of old, the generations of long ago. Was it not you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the dragon?”This is a celebration of God's majesty, might, and saving power, and the people who belong to God and join this celebration and walk in the light of his face are blessed (v. 15-16). God is the glory and beauty of his people's strength (v. 17). Then the psalmist brings God's majesty to earth and links it to his covenant promises to David. Israel's king is Israel's shield (v. 18), and God is the one who found, helped, anointed, and exalted (v. 19-20). God's mighty hand and arm? They establish and strengthen David (v. 21). Just as God tore Rahab apart, so will the Davidic king outwit and beat down his enemies (v. 23). God's steadfast love and faithfulness will be with David (v. 24), and David will call upon God as Father, and God will make him his firstborn, the king of kings (v.26-27), and he will establish David's offspring on an everlasting throne (v. 28-29).God's covenant with David and his sons will endure, even if and when David's sons break God's law. Discipline? Yes. Rod? Yes? Rejection? No. Why? Because of God's steadfast love and faithfulness (v. 33). God's character has established this covenant with an oath (v. 34-35), and David's offspring and throne will endure as long as the sun, moon, and stars — faithful witnesses in the sky (v. 36-37).Then we have the turn. Verse 38 introduces a contrast. For the next ten verses, God's steadfast love and faithfulness are completely absent. Instead, we see a rejected son (v.28), a renounced covenant, a defiled crown (v. 39), breached walls, ruined fortresses (v. 40), plundered cities (v. 41), triumphant foes, rejoicing enemies (v. 42), a throne in the dust, and shame, scorn, and reproach in every direction (v. 41, 45). God's wrath has come upon the people because the king, David's son, has rebelled against God. And so the psalmist is confused. In light of God's character and covenant, how can this be? How long will it last (v. 46)? If God's character and covenant fail, then everything is futile, vain, and worthless (v. 47). Will the psalmist see God's saving power before he dies, because no one escapes the power of Sheol (v. 48)?The final section is an appeal to God's steadfast love and his faithfulness to David, in light of the mocking reproach of the nations (v. 50-51). The psalmist asks where God's covenant love has gone, begs him to remember his promise, and concludes with a triumphant hope: Blessed be the Lord forever (v. 52). Read Your Story in Light of the StoryOne of the great values of regular Bible reading is knowing what story you're a part of, and being able to read your life in light of it. This psalm is filled with echoes and allusions to the big events of Israel's history. Listen to these passages:The revelation of God's name, glory, and goodness to Moses in Exodus 34:6,“The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.”In this psalm, the psalmist emphasizes God's oath (v. 3, 35, 49) and covenant (v. 3, 28, 34) three times each. Hebrews 6:13-20 tells us that when God wants to convincingly and abundantly show the unchangeable character of his promise, he swears by himself, like he does to Abraham after the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen. 22:16-18, which Moses appeals to at the Golden Calf episode in Exodus 32:13), or in Isaiah 45:23, when God swears by himself that every knee will bow and every tongue swear allegiance to him as the only righteous God and Savior, or in Amos 4:2 when God swears by his holiness that he will bring judgment on the pride, idolatry, and oppression of Israel's leaders.Genesis 22:16-18,“By myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, 18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”Exodus 32:13,“Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.'”Isaiah 45:22-23,“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance.'”Amos 4:2,“The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness that, behold, the days are coming upon you, when they shall take you away with hooks, even the last of you with fishhooks.”The psalm draws heavily on the promise to David in 2 Samuel 7:When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever (89:4, 29, 36). 14 I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son (89:26). When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men (89:30-32), 15 but my steadfast love will not depart from him (89:33-34), as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.' (vv. 12-16)In order to lay the groundwork for the key fight of faith, the psalmist pulls together these biblical themes:God's name and characterGod's oath by which he swears by himselfThe covenant God made with DavidWhat Is Real?This is the real question. The gap in this psalm is between what the psalmist knows of God's character and covenant on the one hand, and the circumstances at the present moment. Who God is (steadfast love and faithfulness) and what God has said (oath and covenant to David) seem out of accord with the reality before him (judgment, wrath, and a crown in the dust). That is the question for all of us when the world seems confusing, futile, and vain. Do we interpret our circumstances in light of God's character and covenant? Or do we abandon God's character and covenant in the face of our circumstances?God has promised the nations to Christ as his inheritance (Psalm 2:8; Matthew 28:12-20). And then we look at the state of the world, and the state of our nation, and see the rampant apostasy, rebellion, and decay around us. What's more real? God's character and covenant? Or sexual deviancy, political corruption, and widespread evangelical apathy and compromise? When you see the crown in the dust, when the walls are breached and the cities are burning and the enemies of God and his people are rejoicing — do you pray like this? How long, O Lord?At present, we don't see everything subjected to him, but we see Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death.When your kids wander, or when they get a case of the wobbles: what's more real? God's character and covenant? Or the wobbles and wandering? How do you pray? Do you bless God in confidence that he will hear and answer? Do you still sing of the steadfast love of the Lord? Does your mouth still make known his faithfulness to future generations?Or maybe it's your own faith and holiness. Your own remaining sin frustrates you, and you wonder what to make of all of those promises — that God will sanctify you and make you holy, that he will put your sin to death and deliver you from the domain of darkness. When you see your abiding anger and envy, your drunkenness and lust, your anxiety and fear of man, your worldliness and selfishness, you feel the confusion and vanity. What is more real to you? Do you still sing of the steadfast love of the Lord?This is not hypocrisy; it's what a living faith does when confronted with the vanity of man and the discipline of God. Faith honestly confronts the facts on the ground, and then appeals to God's character and his covenant. And maybe there is a lesson for us in the proportions of the psalm. 70% of the psalm (37/52 verses) is devoted to rehearsing and celebrating God's character and covenant, his steadfast love and faithfulness.20% of the psalm (11/52 verses) confronts the current facts on the ground.The last 10% (4/52 verses) offers a simple prayer for God to remember his covenant and character, along with a concluding declaration of praise (“Blessed be the Lord, forever!”).How much of your mental attention is devoted to rooting yourself in God's steadfast love and faithfulness, in rehearsing his mighty deeds and covenant promises, and how much is spent fixating on the breached walls, triumphant enemies, and reproaching shame?In other words, the confusion is real and the situation is hard and ugly, but he lands on the oath, on the covenant, on God's character, and makes good on his opening promise: “I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord forever…” (even when the city is burning and the crown is in the dust).Christ's CrownChrist is the offspring of David. He crushed the dragon's head. He stilled the waves. He was strengthened by God's grace. His enemies did not outwit him. The wicked did not humble him. God anointed him with his Spirit, and established and exalted him above the angels and the powers. But Christ himself faced God's rejection and absence.“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”His crown was defiled in the dust. His days were cut short, and he was covered in shame. But Christ bridged the gap between God's character and covenant, and the rejection and crown in the dust. In his darkest moments, he called upon God as Father (89:26). In Gethsemane: “My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me…My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done” (Matthew 26:39-42).At Calvary, when with a crown of thorns, mocked and reproached as his enemies rejoiced:“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do…Father, into your hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:34, 46). The psalmist's question that haunts the psalm: What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Christ saw death…and he swallowed it whole. He crushed both Death and the Dragon. Where is the steadfast love of the Lord? Where is his faithfulness that he swore to David? It's on a Roman cross. It's exalted at God's right hand, seated above every angelic and demonic power, ruling over heaven and earth, as God puts all of his enemies under his feet. That's why in Revelation 1:5, Christ is introduced with distinctive language from Psalm 89 as “the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings on earth.”And his oath and covenant are sealed in blood. He swore by his holiness. He swore by his faithfulness. And that faithfulness is yours.His oath, his covenant, his bloodsupport me in the whelming flood.When all around my soul gives way,he then is all my hope and stay.

State lawmakers have bid adieu to the Colorado State Capitol — for now. But lots of questions remain. For example, what's next for Colorado's controversial artificial intelligence law? What about federal spending cuts? Will state lawmakers have to return to Denver before next January to absorb changes from Washington? And the big question: where is Governor Jared Polis on all of this?After so much Polis talk on Purplish this year, this is a chance to hear from the governor himself. Polis spoke with The Colorado Sun's Jesse Paul during the the Sun's 2025 Legislative Session Recap, a live event held at The University of Denver on May 15, 2025. This episode, hosted by CPR's Bente Birkeland, includes excerpts from that conversation, as well as a discussion about the hot issues of the session with Senate President James Coleman, a Democrat from Denver, and House Speaker Julie McCluskie, a Democrat from Dillon. They address the moments of tension between the legislature and governor this session, TABOR reform, the potential impacts of proposed federal Medicaid cuts and more.Purplish is produced by CPR News and the Capitol News Alliance, a collaboration between KUNC News, Colorado Public Radio, Rocky Mountain PBS, and The Colorado Sun, and shared with Rocky Mountain Community Radio and other news organizations across the state. Funding for the Alliance is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.Purplish's producer is Stephanie Wolf. This episode was edited by Megan Verlee and sound designed and engineered by Shane Rumsey. Our theme music is by Brad Turner.
