More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Praying Scripture #12 -- Psalm 77 -- "O God, thank you!"
Psalm 77 is the heart cry of a person who is waiting for bad stuff to stop and good stuff to start. The first half of the Psalm is a lament, a cry to God to show up and show off. The psalmist is stuck in deep trouble. But there is a turning point. It doesn't come when the current circumstances change, that's what many of us are waiting for...insead it came when the perspective changed. Instead of looking at his circumstances, he started gazing upon and pondering his God. He started to remember the works of God. And it led to gratitude.
When we become aware of the goodness and greatness of God, gratitude happens. And few things will change your heart, soul and mind while you are stuck in deep trouble, like gratitude! Today is a day to tell God thank you!
