Episode 183 - Light in the Vessels, this Christmas episode is all about finding light in the darkness. As I've been preparing for holiday concerts and reflecting on the story of the brother of Jared, I've been struck by the powerful symbolism of the Lord causing the stones to shine in the darkness. Even when life feels tumultuous, heavy, and disorienting, Christ's light can still shine. The tempests we face are often what's moving us towards the promised land, even if we can't see the full picture. I've had to really ponder whether I trust that the challenges in my life and the lives of those I love are part of God's plan to get us where we need to go. Ultimately, I've realized that Jesus Christ is the only one who can truly light our vessels and provide the eternal perspective we need to find peace, even in our darkest moments. This Christmas, my prayer is that we can all fall on our knees before the Savior, trusting that He will catch us and guide us safely to our promised lands, in His own time. He is the light that can dispel any darkness.

Nothing warms the heart more than when you see another person show a random act of kindness to another. During this time of the year, those actions tend to be more prevalent as Christmas draws near. This weekend our study in 2 Samuel 9 takes us to one of the most touching illustrations of tender mercy, when King David honors the memory of Jonathan, his trusted friend, by taking care of his son Mephibosheth. Not only did David return to Mephibosheth all the land of his Grandfather, Saul, but he invited Mephibosheth to have a seat at the table of the king himself. This is a reminder to us all that, one day, all who follow Jesus will also have a seat at the table of The King. Compassion reveals the heart of a person, join us this weekend as we study the heart of God through His word and this beautiful example of mercy.

Crowned With Lovingkindness and Mercy   Psalm 103:1-5 A Psalm of David. 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.   In Psalm 103:1-5, David wants us to remember all the wonderful benefits that the LORD has personally blessed us with in life. He lists at least seven of them in these first verses. As we think and meditate upon them, we should find our hearts delighting in the LORD and filled with praise to Him! Instead of always complaining and living a life filled with bitterness, we will learn to “rejoice in the LORD always” (Philippians 4:4), “in everything give thanks” (1 Thessalonians 5:18), and “be content in whatever state or situation we might find ourselves in” (Philippians 4:11).   Yesterday we talked about the benefits of healing and redemption (vv. 3-4). We have been “healed by His strips” because God laid on Him all our iniquities and sins (Isaiah 53:5-6). We have been redeemed by His blood (Colossians 1:14), which means we have been taken out of the slave market of sin and set free to live and serve Him!   Today, we want to remember and not forget that we also have been “crowned with His lovingkindness and tender mercies” (v. 4). David also knew something about crowns, but no crown he ever wore compared with God's lovingkindness and compassion (tender mercies). David was crowned the king of Judah for the first seven years of his kingdom. Then he was crowned again as king of all Israel for the last 33 years of his 40-year reign over the nation. But before he could wear the crown of reigning with all the authority and influence that the position of being a king gave him, he had to spend years wearing the crown of thorns.   David went through years of rejection, of pain and suffering, as Saul sought to kill him. Yet it was in the midst of the suffering that David experienced the lovingkindness, the compassion and the tender mercies of the LORD. That is why he would write in Psalm 23:6, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever”.     As you read the many Psalms that David wrote, you cannot help but notice that over and over again David pleaded for God's steadfast love and tender mercy to be extended to him. A good example is Psalm 51:1, “Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.”   As a matter of fact, David mentions these attributes several more times in Psalm 103. “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy” (v.8). “So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him” (v. 11). “As a father pities his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him” (v. 13). “But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who hear Him…” (v. 17).   We are told in Romans 5:17, “For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.”  Today, we have been crowned to reign in life through Jesus Christ! This means if we are willing to “suffer with Him we shall also reign with Him” (2 Timothy 2:12).   Yes, my friend we are not only “redeemed” and free to live life, we are crowned to rule with Christ sharing with the world around us His lovingkindness and His tender mercies!   God bless!

I don't believe in coincidences.  I don't.  I believe that God always has my back and what some people call coincidences, I call tender mercies.Tender mercies are described  as very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ.  (David A. Bednar)Knowing that God has my back and will bless me with the tender mercies I need, gives me hope and assurance, especially when I'm going through a personal challenge.  Tender mercies remind me that I am never alone, and knowing that gives me the strength to keep going .On today's summer short episode, I share a few personal examples when it was clearly evident that God always has my back.  God doens't work in coincidences.  He extends to us His tender mercies.To read more, vist the link below:The Tender Mercies of the LordTo connect with Angela AdamsShoot me an email: angela@angelaadamscoaching.comTo get on my calendar, click on this link: https://coachwithangela.as.me/Visit my website to subscribe to my weekly email: https://www.angelaadamscoaching.com/To access your FREE guide to managing your emotions: https://www.angelaadamscoaching.com/lead-collectionI would appreciate your help!

When you read Psalm 69 you immediately get the idea of a man who is in tremendous distress. A man who is overwhelmed with despair and one who feels like everyone has turned against him. We know that David wrote this Psalm, and he is expressing the emotions that he is experiencing at this particular time in his life. Have you ever felt this way. “I sink in deep mire…I have come into deep waters… the floods overflow me…” (v. 2). It appears that he had so many enemies he couldn't even count them. “Those who hate me… are more than the hairs of my head… they are mighty…” (v. 4).  People are mocking him, casting insults at him, and falsely accusing him. First, David cries out to God and appeals for help because he can't handle it anymore (vv. 1-5). Next, he appeals and reasons with God to give him deliverance for the sake of God's reputation (vv. 6-12). When you feel this way, this would be a good Psalm to read out loud as your own prayer and plea! Now, in verses 13-18, David makes an appeal for deliverance based on the character of God! David believed that God was a “covenant God” who always keeps His promises! This was based on his knowledge of the Scriptures that he had available in his day, the Torah, the first five books of our Bible today. No doubt David called to mind what the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai in Exodus 34:5-7: “Now the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin…” One of the most afflicted people in history was Job. God allowed Satan to personally attack him. In one day, Job's ten children were killed in windstorm and all his wealth was stolen. (Job 1). Then Satan got permission from God to attack Job's health and afflicted him with terrible, painful boils all over his body (Job 2:7-8). His wife turns against him (Job 2:9), and even his four friends show up and tell him he deserves what he is getting. Job feels like even God is against him along with his family and friends (Job 19:1-22). But Job doesn't lose his faith in God's character, which is one of truth, compassion, and mercy. In the middle of this terrible trial, Job says: “For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God” (Job 19:25-26). And he look ahead and believed: “But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). I am also reminded of what Jeremiah said, as he prophesied of the terrible punishment that was about to fall on Jerusalem in Lamentations 3:14-26. You would almost think that he was reading Psalm 69, which he would have had available in his day. “I have become the ridicule of all my people-- Their taunting song all the day. He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drink wormwood. He has also broken my teeth with gravel, And covered me with ashes. You have moved my soul far from peace; I have forgotten prosperity. And I said, "My strength and my hope Have perished...” (vv. 14-20). But then Jeremiah remembered: “This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the LORD'S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!" The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD. (vv. 21-26). Today, we can remember that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He never changes!!!! We can always trust in His compassion and mercy because of the proof of His love that we find at the Cross! God bless!

After a hiatus of several months, See Hear podcast is back to fill your earholes with discussion of music-centric films and interviews with directors of such films. For episode 102, the focus is on Tender Mercies, the 1983 film starring Robert Duvall about an ex country singer who's trying to find some semblance of normality after an existence of alcoholism, music industry ego and domestic violence. It's a theme that's been tackled before in a myriad of films, but as the saying goes, the devil is in the detail. It's written by Horton Foote (script writer for To Kill a Mockingbird) and directed by Bruce Beresford, a director previously known more for his films about Australian machismo than the sensitive, quiet subject matter that pervades Tender Mercies. Tim is still on break (coming back soon I'm assured). This film was Bernie's pick but was also not available to record. Sadly, after this recording, he informed me that he's leaving the show. I'm going to miss his input. So onto the good news. Friend of the show Kerry Gately Fristoe was recruited for this episode as special guest, but had so much fun that she will now be a permanent member of the See Hear crew. I'm absolutely thrilled she's agreed to join. This episode isn't her debut with the show, but it is the start of a new era of See Hear. Please tune in and giver her a warm welcome. WE'RE BACK!!!!!!
