Episode 42: Grace and mercy

In the previous episode, we explored the fourth of Psalm 107’s four stories. Here, we look at the second and third, which share something unusual in common. One is a graphic story about people crying out to God from prison; the other is about people crying out in the midst of life-threatening illness. But all the people are described as justly deserving their suffering. And yet, when they turn and call upon God, he answers with grace and mercy.
