In today's episode of Word for Word: The Bible, we celebrate Psalms 65–68, four songs bursting with praise for the mighty acts of God. We see the God who answers prayer and forgives sin, who waters the earth and crowns the year with bounty, who works wonders among the nations, and who is a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows. From creation to deliverance, these psalms call every people to praise. Join Kevin Mooneyhan as we behold a God of overflowing goodness and learn to tell others what He has done for us.
Episode Overview
Who is the God we worship? In this episode we move through Psalms 65 through 68, four psalms that overflow with praise for God's mighty acts. We start with the God who hears prayer and forgives, who waters the land and fills it with abundance, and we end with the God who rides through the heavens yet stoops to care for the fatherless and the widow.
These songs lift our eyes from our problems to God's power in creation, in history, and in our own lives. They call not only Israel but all nations to come and see what God has done, and they invite us to add our voices to the praise.
