Psalm 70 (ESV) Building on Psalm 69's great contrast between vss. 13 and 17 in which David on the one hand says, "In Your good time, Lord" and also, "But make it quick," Psalm 70 can't even bring about the strength to ask God to wait. The crisis is high. The pressure is one. David begs for immediate answer. Have you been there? It's great to see a saint in Bible times have the same struggle we do. We can gain great comfort from it. Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by click...

Psalm 70 (Alter) Andrew and Edwin take a look at Psalm 70 versus the psalm from which it is taken (Psalm 40: 13-17). It's almost like the psalmist wants to pray, but the crisis has reached such a tremendous level he is finding it hard to get through the whole thing. Have you ever felt like that?

Psalm 69 (NCV) It's Friday. That means Andrew and Edwin strive to find Jesus in Psalm 69 . But they admit we struggle with how much Jesus is found in this psalm because David's prayers of imprecations and curses seem so different from Jesus's prayer on the cross for His tormenters to be forgiven. Our hosts look to Paul's use of the psalm and the imprecations in Romans to untangle this concern. Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

Psalm 69 (NIV) Andrew and Edwin notice a contrast within the psalm. In one verse, David asks God to answer the request in His own good time. In another verse, he begs, "Be quick about it!" And isn't that exactly how praying goes? We long to pray from the faith of trusting God to answer in the best way and at the best time, but we struggle in the moment of crisis. David did too.

Psalm 68 (CSB) Andrew and Edwin find Jesus in Psalm 68. It's pretty easy because Paul found Jesus in Psalm 68. Our hosts discuss why when Paul quoted the psalm, he changed one of the words. An important word. In fact, it almost sounds like Paul quoted it to say the exact opposite of what the psalm said. But in his "misquote" we learn something about God's gifts and Jesus's gifts.

Psalm 66 (NKJV) Many of the psalms are written during times of struggle when the psalmists fear and question whether God has forgotten, forsaken, or abandoned them. Most of these end with faith it will turn out well and God will deliver. Andrew and Edwin learn that when a psalm is written after the deliverance, in the time of abundance, the psalmist is vindicated for hanging on in faith. God, in fact, did not reject the prayers in the dry times or in the face of the enemies. He listened. He acte...
