For this episode of the members podcast, you are going to hear four psalm renditions back to back, arranged around the image of a path.
Psalm 23 begins on a path we would not have chosen for ourselves. God does not always lead us around the valley, but through it. Psalm 38 takes us into the wreckage of our own wandering, walking the long lanes of grief through consequences of choices—our own and others’.
Psalm 1 returns us to the question of the way itself: how do we learn to walk differently? And Psalm 40 ends with God drawing us out of the pit, setting our feet on solid ground, and establishing our steps.
Together, these four psalms trace a difficult walk with God: being led, losing the way, learning it again, and finding our feet set firm.
