Ep. 229: The Privilege of Crying Out to the Lord

SHOW NOTES

 

In Podcast Episode 229, “The Privilege of Crying Out to the Lord,” Kim discusses the importance of reflecting on the divine privilege of having the ear of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

 

Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Samuel 22:31-51 with the focal verse of 42:

 

“They looked for help, but no one came to their rescue. They even cried to the Lord, but he refused to answer.”

WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:

 

Take a few moments to contemplate what it would be like to know the Lord would not listen when you cry.

 

Additional Resources and Scriptures:

 

• The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (Ps. 34:17)
• 1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. 3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. (Psalms 40:1-3)
