Psalms 102–103; 110; 116–119; 127–128; 135–139; 146–150, Let Every Thing That Hath Breath Praise the Lord

In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame continue their study of Psalms, focusing on chapters 102–150 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “Let Everything That Hath Breath Praise the Lord.” These psalms move through anguish, comfort, prophecy, identity, family, and praise, showing that worship is not reserved for the moment after a problem is solved. One of the central questions of the episode is simple but challenging: can we praise God while we are still in the middle of the trial? The conversation highlights several themes throughout these psalms, including Jesus Christ as the promised King, scripture as a lamp for our path, family as part of God’s work, and the danger of modern idols. Becky and Tess reflect on how even good things, like productivity, family roles, health, or religious practice, can become misplaced priorities when they take our focus away from Christ. They also explore the joy found in the final psalms, where praise becomes loud, physical, and wholehearted rather than quiet or restrained. For women especially, the episode offers encouragement that unseen work is still seen by God. Motherhood, caregiving, careers, family responsibilities, and quiet acts of faith all matter in His work. Comfort is available in the messy middle, not only after the trial ends. This episode invites listeners to hand their burdens to the Savior, recognize what they may be placing before Him, and choose to praise God now, even before every problem is fixed. 00:00 INTRO 01:04 Psalms 102–150 Overview 02:02 Praising God Before the Problem Is Fixed 02:49 Hallelujah Anyway 03:05 Psalms Means Praises 03:52 From Anguish to Praise 04:39 Psalms That Point to Jesus Christ 05:37 Scripture as a Lamp for the Path 06:41 Family, Legacy, and God’s Work 07:44 Recognizing Modern Idols 08:48 When Good Things Become Idols 09:20 Religious Practice as an Idol 10:29 The Work of Our Hands 11:47 Focus on Your Own Idols 12:09 You Are Fully Known by God 12:46 The Final Psalms of Pure Praise 13:41 Rejoicing With Your Whole Heart 15:50 Praise God in the Middle of the Trial 16:24 Comfort in the Messy Middle 17:08 Invisible Work Is Seen by God 18:00 God Knows You Completely 18:55 What Can We Give Back to God? 19:47 Questions for Personal Reflection #CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #Psalms #PraiseTheLord #FaithInChrist #WomenOfFaith #JesusChrist #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth Follow us here: https://instagram.com/beckysquire https://instagram.com/tesiahframe https://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast
