This is not just history of somebody else long ago.

This is our history.

As Christians were connected to this history,

and David saw it important enough

that he wrote a Psalm reflecting on it.

I didn't grow up inside the church,

and perhaps you didn't either.

So I didn't grow up being told in Sunday school

the history of God's people,

learning stories about Abraham, David,

and other significant figures.

So I remember reading the Bible myself

and not understanding aspects of it

because I didn't have the historical context

or the background,

but then having the lights turn on

with the help of a trusted teacher.

This is the Thursday edition of Renewing Remind,

and we'll be joined today by one such trusted teacher,

W. Robert Godfrey.

And today he'll be looking at Psalm 52

and how important it is
