203 - Caves and Travel Guides

PSALM 34 A psalm of David, regarding the time he pretended to be insane in front of Abimelech, who sent him away.In this episode, I will begin by reading the backstory to Psalm 34. This is when David (to escape captivity and punishment) pretended to be insane. Many scholars believe Psalm 34 was written in the cave where David hid.It is impossible to count how many Psalms, songs, stories, and sermons have bloomed from hardship. This Psalm only increases in beauty by remembering what David had gone through. Like a travel guide, David shines a light on the ways God met him in dark (sometimes insane) places. Psalm 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;he rescues those who are crushed in spirit.If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com
