Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86, I Will Declare What He Hath Done for My Soul

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire continue their study of Psalms, focusing on chapters 49–86 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “I Will Declare What He Hath Done for My Soul.” These psalms explore wealth, repentance, trust, suffering, worship, and the full range of human emotion. Rather than simply teaching outward religious practice, they point again and again to the condition of the heart and to a relationship with God that shapes the way we actually live. The conversation highlights Psalm 51 and the plea, “Create in me a clean heart,” as a powerful picture of repentance and real change. Tess and Becky reflect on the difference between performative faith and a life genuinely centered on Jesus Christ. They also discuss trusting God over wealth or worldly security, remembering His works, teaching children what He has done, and allowing Him to become our refuge when life feels overwhelming. Throughout these psalms, faith is shown as something deeply personal, honest, and lived. They also connect these lessons to women today, especially the pressure to appear perfect, carry guilt, or measure faith through outward performance. Repentance is presented as healing and restoration, not simply punishment, and forgiveness is something we receive through a broken heart and contrite spirit rather than a flawless record. This episode invites listeners to come to God honestly, remember what He has done, and trust that He can change, restore, and strengthen us as we keep turning back to Him. 00:00 INTRO 01:41 Psalms 49–86 Overview 02:02 Wealth Cannot Redeem the Soul 03:26 God Wants Righteousness, Not Empty Worship 04:00 When Christianity Becomes Performative 04:34 Create in Me a Clean Heart 05:41 Asking God to Change Us 08:00 God Is Our Refuge 08:22 Trusting God Over Worldly Security 09:35 Thirsting for God 10:44 God Sees What Is Hidden 11:28 God Blesses His Creation 12:11 Remember and Declare God’s Works 13:00 Turning to God in Suffering 14:57 Remembering God in Anguish 16:55 Teaching Our Children to Remember 19:26 Mercy, Truth, Righteousness, and Peace 22:21 God Is Ready to Forgive 23:16 The Full Spectrum of Faith 25:03 Forgiveness Is Not Earned by Perfection 26:37 Women as Memory Keepers 27:46 Confession Leads to Restoration 28:38 Repentance Is Healing 29:57 God Is Safe Enough for Honesty 30:20 Come to God as You Are #CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #Psalms #CreateInMeACleanHeart #FaithInChrist #Repentance #WomenOfFaith #JesusChrist #SpiritualGrowth Follow us here: https://instagram.com/beckysquire https://instagram.com/tesiahframe https://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast
