  • Psalm 20 Explained | The Power of Prayer and Trust in God
    Oct 24 2025

    In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we dive into Psalm 20, a timeless “Prayer for Victory” that reminds us where true strength comes from. Written by David, this psalm was prayed before battle—asking God to protect, guide, and grant success to His anointed.

    We’ll explore three key parts of this powerful passage:

    1. A Blessing for the King (verses 1–5): How prayer unites people in faith and purpose.
    2. Confidence in God’s Response (verses 6–8): Why trust in God outlasts worldly power.
    3. A Final Declaration of Faith (verse 9): The peace that comes from knowing who truly fights for us.

    Together, we’ll unpack how this ancient prayer still applies today—helping us face uncertainty with courage, pray for others with sincerity, and lead with humility, not pride.

    Oct 23 2025

    In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we explore Psalm 19, a powerful reflection on how God reveals Himself through creation and His Word. From the endless skies to the quiet truths of scripture, David shows us that God’s voice is never silent—it surrounds us in every sunrise and every verse of His law.

    We’ll break the psalm into three parts:

    1. God’s Glory in Creation (verses 1–6): How nature declares His power and presence.
    2. God’s Glory in His Law (verses 7–11): Why His Word revives the soul and guides the heart.
    3. A Prayer for Purity (verses 12–14): Learning to seek forgiveness, humility, and wisdom in our words.

    Join us as we connect this ancient song of praise to modern life, where peace, direction, and renewal are found in seeing—and hearing—God everywhere.

  • Delivered and Unshaken: The Power of Psalm 18 and God’s Protection
    Oct 22 2025

    In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we dive into Psalm 18, David’s triumphant song of gratitude after being delivered from Saul and his enemies. With vivid imagery, David declares, “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer” (Psalm 18:2 KJV), celebrating God’s power to rescue those who cry out to Him.

    We’ll explore how this psalm blends personal testimony with timeless wisdom—reminding us that God doesn’t just rescue us from danger, but shapes our character through it. The ancient wisdom of Psalm 18 calls believers to live with courage, integrity, and gratitude, even when life feels unstable. In modern terms, it’s a message for anyone navigating fear, conflict, or uncertainty: prayer invites divine intervention, and faith turns survival into strength.

    Join us as we uncover what it means to trust God as your fortress, celebrate His faithfulness, and live unshaken by the storms around you.
