Summary

Psalm 58. What can we learn from a snake, a lion, and a snail?

0:00.0	The second section of Psalms, known as the Exodus Psalms, remind us that the God who redeemed us is still with us.
0:16.0	In fact, he is promised to never leave us or forsake us.
0:20.0	Today we join Scott Poling in opening God's roadmap for life.
0:24.6	Find your place in the Word of God in the Psalms,
0:27.6	and let's discover what God has for us along the way.
0:34.6	Life is a zoo at times, and you think the animals are running wild.
0:40.1	I have been truly amazed at the number of the Psalms where David, under inspiration of the Holy

1:33.0	but their heart is full of wickedness.
1:35.5	And then he begins in verse number three to describe the wicked.
