Has God Forgotten to Be Gracious? Remembering His Works When Faith Struggles | Psalms 75–77

from Word for Word: The Bible · host Kevin Mooneyhan

Episode Overview What do you do when your feelings say one thing and your faith says another? In this episode we move through Psalms 75 through 77. Psalm 75 reminds us that God alone is the righteous judge, freeing us from the burden of being everyone's judge ourselves. Psalm 76 lifts up the majesty of God, whose name itself brings security to those who trust Him. Psalm 77 gives voice to a soul in anguish, asking whether God has forgotten to be gracious, then deliberately choosing to remember God's deeds in the past. Together they teach us to be honest about our struggle while rooting ourselves in God's proven faithfulness.
