In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally explore Psalm 147, a psalm that celebrates God's power, care, and faithfulness. The psalm calls believers to praise the Lord by reflecting on His works—from rebuilding Jerusalem and healing the brokenhearted to sustaining creation and providing for every living thing.

Curtis highlights the psalm's unique structure, noting how repeated calls to praise are followed by lists of God's actions that reveal His greatness and goodness. Together, Curtis and Sally reflect on how the psalm moves from intimate care—God binding wounds and supporting the humble—to His vast authority over creation, commanding the stars, weather, and seasons.

The conversation centers on themes of humility, hope, and trust in God's unfailing love. Rather than relying on human strength or achievement, the psalm reminds us that the Lord delights in those who fear Him and place their hope in His steadfast love. As they discuss the promises found throughout the psalm, Curtis and Sally encourage listeners to respond with humility, surrender, and obedience—learning to find peace and contentment as we abide in God and trust His character.

Join us as we reflect on the beauty of praising God for who He is, recognizing His care in every detail of our lives, and resting in the promise that His love never fails.
