Sorry, this episode did not get cued up to be released at the right time!
Yesterday we heard of Gideon who led Israel in a miraculous victory over the hoards of Midian using only 300 men. Gideon struggled with believing that God would actually use him, and God was amazingly patient with Gideon— giving him sign after sign. Because of this, Gideon really is not the best example for us to follow of how to believe God.

Do you ever get upset about injustice on earth? Here is a psalm for you.

Yesterday in the 3rd chapter of Galatians we heard an important teaching about the purpose of the Law. The Law did not replace the promise that was given to Abraham. And the way for us to follow Abraham and become heirs to the promise given to Abraham (even if we are not his physical descendants) is through fully believing as Abraham did. If you are interested in Bible translation, I encourage you to examine the episode notes for yesterday’s podcast.
18[PET: Of course I'm happy when you're inspired to do good things, but it has to be for a good cause— whether I'm present there or not.///If someone is eager to do good things for you, that’s all right; but let them do it all the time, not just when I’m with you.]
This is a difficult verse to translate. It is possible to translate like NLT, but that translation doesn’t make sense to me in this context.
