Listed below are mutliple article and video links from different sources. Note: The full article from 'Medium' is also listed at the end of this episode description due to the "subscription only" status (email/free) to read the full article. The Daily Mail and Scientific American articles below connect the parting of the Red Sea and brine pools. However, the articles do not make it really clear why there is a nexus between the two. Brine pools are extremely rare and are formed in specific ways. One of the ways brine pools are formed is by evaporation. They typically form in areas where seawater has evaporated, leaving behind concentrated salt deposits. Think of how a tsunami causes rapid water displacement (receding water) away from the sea floor as it forms. Also, the height of a tsunami water wall can reach up to 100 feet. This is very peculiar as that is how the Bible describes the way God parted the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21-22 "Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left." Here is a video link to TED-Ed where it clearly shows how a tsunami caused problems for another army (Persian Army in 479 BC) trying to cross receding waters on "dry land". The Persian Army met the same demise as Pharaoh's army. https://youtu.be/Wx9vPv-T51I Daily Mail link: This article was listed because it references a new discovery of "brine pools" in the Gulf of Aqaba/Red Sea. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14417975/Scientists-make-shocking-discovery-Bible-Moses-parted-Red-Sea.html Scientific American link: Another article discussing extremely rare brine pools at the Red Sea. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rare-red-sea-brine-pool-holds-secrets-of-past-natural-disasters/ Medium article link: A non-Christian source confirming the 2024 discovery of Pharaoh's army in the Gulf of Aqaba/Red Sea. https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/scientists-finally-found-evidence-for-mosess-red-sea-crossing-6ea440178d42 Eastwind Journals link: This Christian source was listed because of it referencing the same discoveries back in 2021. https://eastwindjournals.com/2021/07/29/archaeological-proof-of-red-sea-crossing/ American Revival Press link: This Christian article was listed because of it referencing these discoveries and Ron Wyatt in 2023 (with photos). https://www.americanrevivalpress.org/post/the-actual-red-sea-crossing-site-found ----- Full 'Medium' article: Scientists Finally Found Evidence For Moses's Red Sea Crossing Ancient chariot wheels were discovered underneath the crossing. The Mystery Seeker 7 min read Aug 14, 2024 The Red Sea crossing, one of the Bible's most dramatic events, has long been a subject of reverence and skepticism. For centuries, this miraculous tale of divine intervention and deliverance has captivated believers, while raising questions among historians and scientists. The path of the Red Sea crossing, about 12 miles (19.3 km). | Recently, however, new discoveries have emerged that may provide the first solid evidence supporting this ancient story. As scientists uncover intriguing clues beneath the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba, the line between myth and history begins to blur. The Biblical Account The biblical account of the Red Sea crossing is a cornerstone of the Exodus story, found in the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament. This narrative details the escape of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery under the leadership of Moses. After enduring harsh treatment and plagues sent by God, Pharaoh finally allows the Israelites to leave Egypt. However, he soon changes his mind and sends his army to pursue them. The Israelites, trapped between the advancing Egyptian forces and the Red Sea, face what seems to be an impossible situation. In this moment of desperation, Moses stretches out his hand over the sea, and God parts the waters, creating a dry path for the Israelites to cross. The entire nation of Israel, according to the Bible, safely traverses the sea, with walls of water standing on either side. As Pharaoh's army follows, the waters return, drowning the Egyptian soldiers and securing the Israelites' freedom. This event is celebrated in Jewish tradition as a defining moment of divine intervention and liberation. The significance of the Red Sea crossing extends beyond its dramatic narrative. For the Israelites, it marks the moment when they fully transitioned from slavery to freedom, becoming a nation under God's protection. This event is also seen as a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness, reinforcing the covenant between God and the people of Israel. Throughout history, this story has been a symbol of hope and deliverance, inspiring countless generations. However, the miraculous nature of the Red Sea crossing has also made it a subject of skepticism and debate. Over centuries, theologians, historians, and scientists have questioned the plausibility of such an event. Was it a literal miracle, or could it be explained by natural phenomena? Despite these questions, the story has endured, deeply embedded in religious tradition and continuing to captivate both believers and sceptics. The Skeptical View The story of the Red Sea crossing has fascinated believers for millennia, but it has also been met with skepticism from the scientific community. Scientists and historians have long questioned the feasibility of such a miraculous event. The primary reason for doubt lies in the extraordinary nature of the account — a vast body of water parting to allow an entire nation to cross on dry ground, only to collapse and destroy an army moments later. For many, this defies the known laws of nature and physics, making it difficult to accept without empirical evidence. Verifying the Red Sea crossing through scientific methods presents significant challenges. The event is said to have occurred over 3,000 years ago, making it difficult to find direct evidence. The natural environment has undergone significant changes over millennia, and any physical remnants of the event — such as chariot wheels or human remains — would likely be buried deep beneath sediment or dispersed by natural forces. Additionally, the exact location of the crossing has been debated, with some proposing it occurred at the Gulf of Suez, while others suggest the Gulf of Aqaba. The Crossing of the Red Sea, by Nicolas Poussin (1633–34). Previous attempts to locate the crossing site have been met with limited success. Early expeditions focused on the Gulf of Suez, where shallow waters could make the event seem more plausible. However, these investigations did not yield conclusive evidence. In recent years, attention has shifted to the Gulf of Aqaba, where deeper waters and more dramatic underwater landscapes might align better with the biblical description. Yet, even here, the search is complicated by the sheer size of the area, the depth of the waters, and the technical challenges of underwater archaeology. Geographical and environmental considerations add to the difficulty. The Red Sea region is tectonically active, and natural events such as earthquakes and volcanic activity could have altered the landscape significantly since the time of the Exodus. This makes it hard to determine whether any geological features that exist today were present during the purported crossing. Moreover, the possibility that the crossing might have been a localized event, exaggerated over time, further complicates efforts to pinpoint its location. New Scientific Evidence Recent discoveries in the Gulf of Aqaba have reignited the debate over the historical accuracy of the Red Sea crossing. For years, researchers have speculated that this body of water, rather than the traditionally considered Gulf of Suez, could be the actual site of the biblical event. The Gulf of Aqaba, with its deep waters and complex underwater terrain, presents a more plausible setting for the dramatic crossing described in the Bible. These findings have provided fresh momentum to the search for evidence of this ancient miracle. One of the most compelling pieces of evidence found in the Gulf of Aqaba is the discovery of coral-encrusted objects resembling ancient chariot wheels. These objects, scattered along the seabed, appear to be consistent with the time period of the Exodus. Additionally, researchers have identified what they believe to be remnants of human and animal bones, further suggesting a catastrophic event in the area. The presence of these artefacts, coupled with the depth and width of the Gulf, has led some scientists to propose that this is the location where the Israelites crossed. Geological studies have also revealed intriguing features of the underwater topography in the Gulf of Aqaba. A natural land bridge, with a relatively shallow depth compared to the surrounding waters, extends across the Gulf. This formation could have provided a plausible route for the Israelites to cross during a temporary parting of the waters, possibly caused by a natural phenomenon like a strong wind or an earthquake. The steep underwater slopes on either side of this ridge match the description of "walls of water" in the biblical account. Scientists have interpreted these findings with cautious optimism. While the evidence is compelling, it is not yet definitive. The coral-encrusted chariot wheels, for example, could be remnants of shipwrecks or other historical events unrelated to the Exodus. However, the concentration of these artefacts in a specific area, along with the geological features, suggests that there is more to this site than initially believed. If further research confirms these initial findings, it could significantly impact our understanding of the Red Sea crossing. Interpreting the Evidence The discoveries in the Gulf of Aqaba have sparked intense debate among both believers and sceptics, highlighting the complex relationship between faith and science. For those who accept the biblical account as historical fact, these findings offer a sense of validation. The possibility that remnants of chariots and bones may lie beneath the waters of the Red Sea strengthens their belief in the miraculous event described in the Bible. However, for sceptics, these discoveries raise more questions than answers, leaving much room for doubt. While the evidence found is intriguing, it is not conclusive. The coral-encrusted objects and geological formations suggest a connection to the biblical narrative, but they do not irrefutably prove that the Red Sea crossing occurred as described. For sceptics, the possibility remains that these artefacts could be remnants of unrelated events or natural formations. This uncertainty keeps the debate alive, with both sides interpreting the evidence through their lenses of belief and skepticism. These findings have the potential to reshape our understanding of the Red Sea crossing, but they also highlight the limitations of using scientific methods to prove or disprove ancient events. The intersection of science and religion in this context is particularly complex. While science seeks empirical evidence and logical explanations, faith often operates in the realm of the unseen and the miraculous. This creates tension in historical analysis, as the same evidence can be interpreted in vastly different ways depending on one's perspective. The broader impact of these discoveries extends beyond the specific case of the Red Sea crossing. They underscore the challenges faced by historians and archaeologists when dealing with ancient texts and traditions. As science continues to probe the mysteries of the past, it must balance the need for evidence with the understanding that some aspects of history may remain beyond our reach. This ongoing dialogue between faith and science is crucial, as it deepens our appreciation of both the historical and spiritual dimensions of ancient events. Conclusion The recent discoveries in the Gulf of Aqaba have brought new insights and sparked renewed debate over the historicity of the Red Sea crossing. While these findings provide intriguing clues that align with the biblical narrative, they also highlight the ongoing tension between faith and scientific inquiry. As research continues, the line between myth and history may become clearer, yet some questions may always remain unanswered.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 24th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Mark 8:34. Jesus said:“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Wow! Strong words! Remember, the cross represents death and self-denial. Then we go to John 6:66:”From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.” That must be one of the saddest verses for me in the Bible. These men were His disciples. There were about 120 of them, then only 12. This Christian walk is not a bed of roses, don't let anybody tell you that. In fact, if there are any preachers listening to this message, be careful how you talk. I've got to do the same. It's not a case of come to Jesus and all your problems will be over, not at all. It's come to Jesus, and He will walk with you through the fire. He didn't say He'll take you out, but He will never leave you nor forsake you!Remember the rich young ruler? He said to Jesus, ”I have obeyed all the commandments.” And Jesus said, “But there's one thing that you haven't obeyed.” He didn't say that to him because He wanted money; He was testing him. He said, ”Give your riches to the poor, and come and follow me.” The Bible says that the rich young ruler walked away.I remember a minister saying to me, ”Jesus must have been standing there with tears running down His face.” He didn't run after him and say, ”Listen, let's negotiate, just give half of your money away.” No, He stood there and He watched that man on his road to hell. Oh yes - we need to understand something, if we want to follow the Lord, we've got to put Him first in our lives.That beautiful cross, young lady, beautiful silver or gold cross hanging around your neck, and by the way, I love to see people wearing the cross of Jesus, it doesn't represent prosperity. It doesn't represent anything to do with self, it is a sign that Jesus Christ died for you and He died for me, and we in turn must put the flesh down and start to live for Him. It is so beautiful to see people giving their lives to Christ, but then they need to follow through, but by the grace of God we will succeed.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

This Christian meditation on Luke 6:31–36 invites you into a guided Scripture reading using the Lectio Divina model. You’ll have space to pause, reflect, and listen for how God is inviting you to love others with compassion — even when it’s difficult. Step Nine of the 12 Steps says: We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Making amends goes beyond saying “I’m sorry.” It’s about seeking restoration with love and wisdom, while also trusting God to guide us in situations where direct amends aren’t possible. In this meditation, we’ll reflect on Jesus’ words in Luke 6 and open our hearts to the Spirit’s invitation toward compassion, humility, and courage. Take a few deep breaths, settle in, and let’s step into this time of Scripture meditation together.

Meditation Passage: Luke 6:31–36 (NLT) Do to others as you would like them to do to you.If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return. Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

What do you do with the parts of yourself you’d rather hide? This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and guided prayer shaped by the 12 steps. Step Four says: “We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of our lives.” That can sound intimidating. But this meditation isn’t about doing a deep dive into every detail of your past or present. Instead, it’s an invitation to rest in the truth that God already knows everything about you — and He still loves you. Hebrews 4 reminds us: “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.” But it also shows us the good news: Jesus is our great high priest. He knows what it is to be human. He empathizes with our weakness. And because of Him, we can “approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” In today’s meditation, you’ll pause with Hebrews 4:13–16 and be reminded that there is nothing in you that surprises God — and nothing He cannot redeem. You’ll be invited to come honestly and boldly into His presence, and to receive the mercy and grace He longs to give. Take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s meditate on these truths together.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Turning our will and our lives over to God is never easy. But it’s always good. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and guided prayer rooted in the wisdom of the 12 steps. Step Three says: “We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.” Step One reminded us: I can’t.Step Two gave us hope: God can.And Step Three invites us to surrender: I think I’ll let Him. Today’s meditation is from Jeremiah 17:5–8. This poetic passage paints a vivid picture of what happens when we rely on our own strength versus when we place our hope and confidence in the Lord. One life ends up like a stunted shrub in the desert. The other is like a flourishing tree with roots reaching deep into the river. Through guided reflection, you’ll be invited to notice where you’re relying on yourself, and where God is asking you to trust Him more fully. Then you’ll rest in the truth that God wants you to be like that tree — deeply rooted, resilient through hard seasons, and bearing fruit that blesses others. Take a few deep breaths, settle in, and let’s meditate together.

Have you ever believed and doubted at the same time? You’re not alone. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and guided prayer shaped by the 12 steps. Step Two says: “We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” If Step One was I can’t, Step Two is the hopeful turn toward God can. In this imaginative prayer, you’ll enter the story of a desperate father who brings his son to Jesus for healing. He longs to believe God can help him, yet struggles with doubt. His words echo the tension so many of us feel: “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” This meditation invites you to step into the scene and experience Jesus’s compassion in the very places where faith and doubt live side by side. Where do you need God’s help today? He knows exactly what you are facing — and He wants to help. Take a deep breath and let this meditation remind you that while we can’t, God can.

But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth.“How long has this been happening?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.He replied, “Since he was a little boy. The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.”“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Have you ever had to admit, “I just don't know”? In this episode of When the Scriptures Become Real, we dive into what the Bible says about doubt, questions, and trusting God in uncertainty. This Christian podcast episode is for anyone wrestling with faith, struggling with not having all the answers, or searching for encouragement straight from Scripture. Join us as we explore how the Word of God gives clarity, peace, and hope even when life feels confusing. If you've ever felt stuck between believing and not understanding,this Bible study conversation is for you.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you aren’t alone. This Christian meditation podcast offers space for Bible meditation, scripture reflection, and faith‑based guided prayer. This series is shaped by the twelve steps—a time‑tested path to spiritual healing and transformation—because we all have hurts, habits, or hangups that hold us back. Whether or not you consider yourself an addict, these meditations are for you. We all long for lives characterized by freedom—lives rooted and grounded in God and His goodness. But the truth is, we all struggle. Step One helps us admit what we feel but don’t want to name: we are powerless over our deepest problems and our lives can become unmanageable. That honest admission isn’t despair; it’s the threshold of grace—the place we discover that while we can’t, God can. And He wants to. In today’s meditation, we sit with Romans 7:21–25, where Paul wrestles with the push and pull we all know—the desire to follow God and the struggle with sin. You’ll be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest, opening your heart to the healing and wholeness God wants to bring.

Here's todays meditation Scripture: Romans 7:21–25 (NLT) I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 27th of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Matthew 7:13-14. Jesus says:“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”This Christian walk of ours is not easy. The Lord never promised us a rose garden but He did promise us that He would lead us if we will follow Him. When you go through that narrow gate, it is character-building stuff. We have to keep at it, no compromise, no bending the rules, no cheating because the way is narrow and it is steep and very difficult, but at the end of that road it is most rewarding. As a younger man, I used to love climbing to the mountain tops of the mighty Drakensberg Mountains, which lie about an hour and a half west of Shalom Farm. When you get out of the pick-up or out of the truck, everybody is excited. Put your rucksacks on, get your walking stick with you and off you go! The road is wide, it is smooth and there are many people that are walking on that road. But the amazing thing is, as you start to get higher, the oxygen is less, it's much steeper, the weather is all over the place, it can get windy, it can rain - you can get four seasons in one day, and the road gets much narrower. No more road, just a path. Eventually, the path gives up, there is no more path, and the only way you can get to the top, and it is quite perilous, is by following little cairns of stones that people have put in the way to show you the way to the top.That is how it is in life. When we get serious with God, He gets serious with us, but oh my dear friend, it is so worthwhile because eventually, when you get to the top, sometimes on your hands and knees, and you turn around and look out, you see the whole of KwaZulu-Natal. On a clear day, you can see to the ocean. It is mighty! There are only certain birds up there, such as the Lämmegeier, the bearded vulture, which has a wing span of about two metres, very few eagles, and definitely no house birds. However, it is invigorating. Now, keep on the road. Keep going through the narrow gate. Don't worry about the easy way that many people walk in, but that one does not lead to eternal life. Jesus bless you today as you keep your eyes fixed on the top of the mountain.Goodbye.

Per Caleb Johnson's self-written iMDb bio, Caleb directed his first film TIME COLLECTORS at the age of 17, before immediately moving onto 2 TO TANGLE, which won him international acclaim and was even sold at Walmart! 2 TO TANGLE is pretty accessible for a DIY faith-based film, mostly because the whirlwind plot is insanely stimulating. Young Christian woman Jess is on the rocks with her boyfriend Tom, an inventor/entrepreneur who doesn't share her Christian faith. A struggling relationship is made even worse when Jess's coworker finds Tom on a Christian dating website. Jess catfishes Tom by signing up for the website under the screen name “Pocahontas” and messages him in disguise; she ends up catching feelings for Tom's online persona. But things are not what they seem when Jess learns the man she's messaging is actually Tom's secret twin brother Michael, who is also an inventor/entrepreneur for some reason. This kicks off a bizarre series of events involving car crashes, evil spirits (!!!) and a long makeover sequence. 2 TO TANGLE has the madcap precocious energy of DIY filmmakers wanting to put absolutely everything they can think of into their film. The barely coherent plot will keep you guessing until the final scene of the movie. 2 TO TANGLED is the fun type of Christian film where if you showed it to someone not hip to the genre, they would describe it as a train wreck, but if you watch faith-based films every week (as we do here at BBS) you would find it a delightful “breath of fresh air.” View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy

This Christian feature film about an aspiring DJ feels like a remake of the 2015 Zac Efron-fronted EDM movie WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS, but unfortunately is lacking a lot of substance both in its spiritual and musical themes. FACE THE BEAT is the story of Zack aka “ZDJ Grey”, a teenager who wants to escape the rat race by kickstarting his career as a DJ and music producer. The film uses a lot of EDM stock music to represent Zack's creative output, which confusingly runs the gamut from chill house to lo-fi hiphop. Zack's support system includes his divorced parents (a working-class nurse mother and a father who works in the music industry), his rich playboy friend Cooper who books him for gigs, and his vocalist girlfriend Ava who is played by notable Christian singer V. Rose. Zack feels discouraged in realizing his dream as a successful DJ, but eventually his dedication (and some crucial financial support from his father and Cooper) pay off to being discovered by a “music influencer” and artist representative at his first big gig, hinting toward a successful future in Christian music. You would think a movie like this would explore the sacrifices one must make to preserve personal faith in a secular industry, but it really doesn't do anything like that at all. However, the film did inspire us to ruminate on what it takes to actually be a career DJ. Our DJ friend Pretty R1cky (@sobasedsopretty) joined us in the studio to discuss Los Angeles DJ politics, music as a force that comes directly from God, and their viral crucifixion tattoo that has earned them internet infamy.  Stream "DJ" by Pretty R1cky feat.

G-g-g-ghosts? This Christian horror film featuring a predominantly black cast gets a touch of celebrity from notable costars Luenell and Faizon Love. It's the only feature film directed by Roy Belfrey, and although it's competently shot with some genuinely scary special effects, it suffers from narrative weakness by not coherently connecting the film's haunting to its overtly Christian message. The film centers around a recent high school graduate named Michelle who has perfect grades and a hardworking drive that gets her a full ride scholarship to a pre-med program at a college in Minneapolis, MN. Although her tight-knit Christian family has trepidations about letting their baby stray so far from the nest, they relent because the family happens to own property in the city. Unfortunately, this property has a problem: a ghost problem. It appears to be haunted by the spirits of Russian women who were killed on the property 100 years or so ago after refusing to cell their house to greedy businessmen. The haunting of the Wilshire house escalates the tensions explored in the film between the natural world and the spiritual world; Michelle is always trying to convince her superstitious family that there is a rational explanation for everything, but even Michelle can't explain the terrifying things happening to her. Finally, the haunting drives Michelle back with her loving family, although it's unclear to us what Michelle learned from the experience, and how anything the film showed us has to do with the Bible verse Matthew 18:20, which was supposed to be the focal point. We at Boys' Bible Study are still in search for a Christian horror film that threads the needle of its messaging instead of choosing style over substance.

This Christian meditation and prayer on Psalm 71 reminds us of God's power to restore and renew. Get your FREE Praying with The Psalms Journal here. Will God redeem the mess? Will He restore what's been broken? Scripture gives a resounding “yes”—but restoration doesn't always mean returning to how things were. God's work is often about transformation, making something new from the broken pieces. If you're feeling unsure about what God can do with your challenges, take heart. Your God is a God of restoration. This meditation reassures us that He is good, He is at work, and we can trust Him.

This Christian meditation and prayer from Psalm 25 invites us to ask God to direct our steps. Get your FREE Praying with The Psalms Journal here. Is there an area in your life where you fear God could let you down? You aren't alone. David, the author of Psalm 25, expressed this same fear to God when he said: “Do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me.” And then David reminded his soul that God is trustworthy; therefore, he would not be disgraced if he waited on God. This led David to pray the prayer we all need: Show me the way, Lord. If you're facing something that concerns you and wonder how to move forward, take some time to meditate on and pray through this Psalm. God will show you the way. He will help you know how to move forward. You can trust him. You can follow along with a FREE printed guide for this meditation and the entire Praying with the Psalms series here.
