The Water from Rock Podcast

Do you remember falling in love? Of course, you do, I mean, who can forget falling in love. Everyone around you knew you would know that you've fallen in and love, they could see it on your face, it within your eyes. There's a new spring in your step. You can't stop thinking about the person, you want nothing more than to be with that person. My time flies when you're with her, with him. Being in love means that you have seen yourself through the eyes of your lover, and that is very different from seeing yourself through anyone else's eyes.

Today, I attempt to talk about something that is so amazing, it is so incredibly wonderful that I would not dare to go here, except that Jesus leads us here.

Between a rock and a hard place, between the devil and the deep blue sea, up a creek without a paddle.

We all have ways of describing, facing trouble, facing difficult problems, so if you find yourself in any of those hard places today or anywhere near them, I have some encouraging words for you from God's word.

As I am looking, yet again, at another Psalm of David, a man after God's own heart. A man also so often between a rock and a hard place, whether David is facing giants, or facing whole armies against him, David has words that have helped and encouraged me again and again, and I think they can help and encourage you today.

Do you ever have mornings when your alarm goes off and you start thinking about some prickly people you're gonna have to deal with that day, or you think about problems that you're going to face?

My go-to verse when I'm needing special power, special wisdom, is the magnificent eighth chapter of Romans...

Did you know that God not only loves you, that God not only likes you, but that God takes pleasure in you? That God delights in you?

That having you as his child makes God smile? I'm gonna talk for a few moments about this, that it makes God happy to love you, that God takes pleasure in you being His child. I'm looking at Psalm 149, which is a crescendo of praise that is working to bring to completion the 150 psalms that make up the book of Psalms. As Psalm 149 is, well, it's pulling out all the stops and joyful praise of God for all of his goodness and grace to us.

Could you use some hope today? How about a heaping dose of hope for the future? Hope for whatever it is that you're going through. Hope is so important for you and me. It's been said that we can live about 40 days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but for hardly a second without hope, and that's why I am so glad to be able to pass on some hope to you today...

I do have more good news today. It's good news for anyone whose life might be falling apart, for anyone feeling at their wit's end, for anyone, well, who can't see a way ahead. This good news is from the book of Psalms, from a psalm of David, when it looks like David is not gonna be king any longer, it looks like David's career was coming to an end, and even looks like David's life may be coming to an end. I'm looking at Psalm 3...

You know that Energizer Bunny we see on TV, the pink bunny pounding the drum, wearing sunglasses and flip-flops who just keeps going and going and going. Well, I've got a verse of scripture today in which the Apostle Paul tells how the Holy Spirit can keep you and me going even when things are going against us, how the Holy Spirit can keep us going and going and going

Do you know what kind of person you want to be? That is a good question to think about. And counselors say that would be good to every day to visualize... Think about the kind of person you want to be.

Well, as always, I like for scripture to be our guide, especially in thinking about such a big question as who we want to be, and so I'm looking today at Galatians Chapter 4:19, where Paul... I think he speaks to this question. Paul writes, "My little children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you."

How are you picturing God today? I mean in your mind's eye, are you seeing God as smiling at you? Is God, is he frowning? That is does God look disappointed in you? Does God look like he's ticked off?

Well, the reason why I'm asking is because how you and I picture God is just about the most important thing about us. Because how we picture God affects how we look at life, how we look at ourselves, how we look at others. There is a soul secret that we tend to move in the direction of the way we picture God, and so I wanna see if we can't use some scripture today to see if we can't bring into focus the way we picture God...
