Summary

Ever Felt Overwhelmed With Dread? We Have a God Who Meets Us in that Place to Rescue and Restore Us: Reflections from Psalm 53   We have all had moments of feeling overwhelmed with dread. That is something that is just part of the human condition. Yet so often, we overlook the ways that God wants to intervene on our behalf. Today we look at this exact situation and see how God moves when we least expect Him to.   Today’s Key Verse:   There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where was nothing to dread. Psalm 53:5a   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God’s voice or if it’s really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I’m your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God’s voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn’t quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn’t qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God’s word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/     Need to chat one on one?

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.             Learn more about your ad choices.

I think sometimes it may be difficult for us to feel like we relate to the Israelites

and some of these things that we read in the Psalms.

Yet if we think about it in terms of our emotions, Psalm 53 today talks about

0:39.3

feeling overwhelmed with dread. And I don't know about you, but I have certainly felt that

before. I've certainly had seasons of my life or even instances in my life where I have felt

0:48.3

overwhelmed with dread. And then what we see is God intervene on our behalf. And the encouragement is that we serve the same God

today that is revealed in the pages of the scriptures and the Psalms. So today, as we listen and we
