A significant part of our lives is driven by the pursuit of two words: “Well done.” In this episode, Barry Cooper observes that the pursuit of glory is not a bad thing–as long as we’re seeking it in the right place. Read the transcript: https://simplyputpodcast.com/glory/

We don’t know when Psalm 119 was written, but we do know it was written after man’s fall. This means the writer knew what it was to experience different seasons of the soul. He knew the warm joy of springtime, and the dreary darkness of winter. The prolonged dark seasons are particularly dangerous for the Christian. But God has given us all that we need in His Word to walk near to Him, even in the darkest of days.
In this week’s episode, John Snyder focuses on Psalm 119:41-42 and discusses how we can pray Scripture in these dark nights of the soul.
 
May Your lovingkindnesses also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your word;
So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.
Psalm 119:41-42
