| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, I'm Rachel Grohl and I'm your host for the Hearing Jesus podcast, where I help you to know God and to make him known. |
| 0:13.2 | Today we are looking at a powerful example from Psalm 86 where the psalmist is in the middle of some trouble. |
| 0:24.1 | And the way that he handles that is to ask God to show him and give him wisdom on how to handle it and it's such a great example because |
| 0:29.6 | I think sometimes when we get caught up in trouble we tend to go on instinct we tend to get |
| 0:36.5 | advice from other people and this example here is just to stop |
| 0:40.4 | what we're doing and to go to God and ask him for his wisdom and strength and perseverance to get |
| 0:45.8 | through those experiences. And that creates this unique opportunity for us to know God in a way |
| 0:51.5 | that we can't when we're not in those situations. I want to remind you, |
| 0:55.9 | if you were just joining us, we are going through the Psalms day by day, one Psalm a day, |
| 1:00.0 | where we're looking at some of the history and the culture and the background information |
| 1:03.7 | of what was going on, because sometimes I think we just get lost because we don't necessarily |
| 1:08.6 | understand the world that this was, in the time frame that this was |
| 1:12.8 | written in. Because while scripture was written for us, it was not originally written to us. |
| 1:18.3 | It was written to this original audience that existed way, way, way far away from where we're at |
| 1:24.1 | in time and history. And so even things like them being an agrarian culture, |
| 1:29.0 | meaning they farm for a lot of their food, that is sometimes lost on us. So we kind of dive |
| 1:34.8 | into the background to help us just understand this a little bit better. And again, |
| 1:39.0 | this is not to replace your Bible reading. It's to really give you an additional supplement almost to |
| 1:46.2 | help you understand a little bit better what you're reading. So I'm reading from the NIV. |
| 1:51.3 | I'll always read from the NIV unless I tell you otherwise, starting at verse one. |
| 1:55.7 | And this is a prayer of David, of King David. Hear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am |
| 2:04.0 | devoted to you. You are my God, save your servant who trusts in you. Have mercy on me, |
