Do you remember reading about Goldilocks and the three bears?
How could they tell someone had been in their house?
Was there a note?
Did a neighbor tell them?
How?
Exactly! The three bears saw evidence of Goldilocks long before they met Goldilocks.
Now, they could have made up excuses. They could have said to each other, “Well, we just didn’t remember that we’d already eaten our porridge and sat in our chairs. We must have left things in a mess before we left, we just weren’t paying attention.” They could have ignored the truth the evidence in their house was pointing to.
Imagine how surprised they’d have been when Goldilocks walked downstairs while they were sitting around unaware!
In this talk, [originally delivered Sunday morning at New Hope Chapel, MD], we’re going to take a look at three pieces of evidence that point to God’s nature and reality:
I Revelation of God in Nature, Psalm 19:1-6
II Revelation of God in Scripture, Psalm 19:7-10
III Revelation of God in His People, Psalm 19:11-14
And through the poetry of Psalm 19, we’ll see the author convey this important truth: The revelation of God is available to everyone, everywhere, in every age and culture.
C.S. Lewis called Psalm 19 “the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world.” And in reading it, you can see what he meant.

As the book of Exodus opens, life was bitter for the Hebrew people. They were treated harshly and cruelly, dreaded by the Egyptians who enslaved them. Only two sympathetic midwives stood between the Hebrew baby boys and death, and now came Pharaoh’s edict to all Egyptians – throw the Hebrew baby boys into the sacred Nile. It was a risky time, an awful time, to bring a child into the world.
Yet that is just what happened in Miriam’s family.
Our stories shape us. What we experience, and how we interpret what we experience, shapes how we see the world, see ourselves, and what we’re going to do try to survive and even thrive. And Miriam’s story shaped her as well, as
I Protector, Exodus 1:15-2:10
II Prophet, Exodus 15:19–21, Micah 6:4
III Purified, Numbers 12:1-16, 20:1
Miriam’s life can teach us that even when you and I do not see it,
the Lord is always there, working for the good of God’s beloved.
Each person has a calling from God, and matters to God.
“Counsel [motives] in a person’s heart is deep water; but a person of understanding draws it out.” Proverbs 20:5 (CSB)
I think Miriam’s story also shows us how trauma can warp us in ways we might not even realize, until God draws out what has been festering within. In God’s wisdom, Miriam experienced both the pain of exposure, and the deep and abiding joy of healing, restoration, and reconciliation.
We don’t hear much about Miriam after her bout with leprosy, but I think it is because she was now fully right with God, and her ministry now had shalom, that healthful, fruitful, wholeness that comes from God.
Each video is designed to offer background scholarship on the topic, including setting, culture, original language, and archaeology, as well as a theological study.
The Broken, Searching, Trusted, Powerful series is a companion to the book, available on Amazon, and published by Wipf and Stock. Miriam](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EhLg48o7w9A/mqdefault.jpg)
