If you really think about it, we tend to be paid lovers of God. Here's Nancy DeMas Walgamuth.

We love God as long as he's sticking things in our grubby little grasping hands that are what we want.

But then God begins to pry open our fingers and take some of those things from us. And we start to bawl and squall

and our hearts are all of a sudden disquieted,

and we proved that we were loving God for his gifts

rather than for himself.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast

with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth,

author of Lies Women Believe

and the Truth that Sets Them Free.

For October 15th, 2025, I'm Dana Gresh.

We're in the middle of a series called How to Have a Quiet Heart. If your path ahead is uncertain, we hope today's episode will be

a balm to your heart. Nancy's sharing how we can have peace about the future. We've been talking

for the last several days about Psalm 131. And if you're at a place where you can get a Bible

and follow along, let me encourage you to do that. I said earlier

in the series that this has become my new life preserver in life. This passage, God has been so

using in my life in recent days and some of the ups and downs and the storms that are going on

around me. And life just is that way. It has storms. And God has used this passage to be a life preserver to me, and we're throwing

it out in this series, hoping it'll be a life preserver to you.

You may not be in a storm right now, but the time will come when you are.

So this is a great passage to get familiar with.
