© 2025 Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Description
Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

"God save the King" is in the Bible, Psalm 20 specifically. It is a good prayer for him, or her if you have a Queen. Who wouldn't want their national leader to have access to the wisdom of the Lord of the universe? This psalm teaches us how to pray for our President or King or Prime Minister. Our vote is optional, but our prayers are not. Some trust in chariots and some in horses (or tanks) but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Subscribe and share: https...
David writes a psalm to remind everyone to pray for the king who happens to be David. Similarly, we should pray for our President and our leaders and our government.

One of my favorite things is to watch a thunderstorm roll in and then jump into the safety of a strong building. One of my least favorite things is to endure a thunderstorm while in a tent. Ps 29 is all about the Thunderstorm Power of God. Ironically, it is from this earth-shaking power that our PEACE with God comes from. It is only because the Lord kindly shares His POWER with us, that we can enjoy PEACE with Him. Join me for 7 minutes in the storm, then comment. https://yo...
Psalm 63 gives us permission to use our spiritual imaginations for a great purpose. It is to "place ourselves" in the shadow of His wings. It is a most beautiful image that puts us under His protection and care. May the Lord grow our spiritual imagination. Let’s use our spiritual ‘magination to put ourselves right where God wants us: in the shadow of His wings. Subscribe if this is a place you'd like to be tomorrow: https://youtu.be/EL9PjQlXA4w
David tells us about something that is "BETTER THAN LIFE". He comes up with a valuation that declares this particular "thing", God's faithful relationship with people, is WORTH MORE than life itself. It is an an audacious e-value-ation. See if you agree with David: God's steadfast love to humans is more valuable than LIFE ITSELF. Join me for 6 minutes in Psalm 63: https://youtu.be/fmps48w1pyM

David has a superpower. He is able to say, "I'm a sinner. Please forgive. Please help." We have a lot to learn from him. God has made a way for us, the unholy, to have a relationship with Him, the holy. It involves first recognition and verbalizing the real state of affairs. This is where we do relatively poorly. We squirm at our sin and don't even want to use the word. If God had to find some sin in your life, where would you encourage Him to look? Under what rock would you tell Him to...

In our previous video, we left with a beautiful image of jumping on the bed for 1 ½ hours straight. Today, we have another vision worth considering: "Offer yourself freely to God." God does not compel belief. He offers us the opportunity to offer ourselves. If we do so, on the day of His power and wrath, we will find ourselves jumping on the bed. Watch. Share. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/bGeqM4J14DM
First you may ask, "What does the DEW OF YOUTH look like"? You will have to talk to my favorite 2 ½ year old. He'll most clearly show you what it means by jumping on his bed for 1 ½ hours straight. Good for him, and good for us too. For this is the vigor and strength that the Lord promises to renew for us in the "womb of the morning". Join me as we admire the dew of youth that we might enjoy again if we join God's team. subscribe if you don't currently have the d...

A king and a kingdom is condemned for "setting itself against the Lord" in psalm 2. But aren't we all little kings and queens of our micro-kingdoms? We too might be "setting our kingdoms" against the Lord. If so, how would I know? If you set yourself against fellowship, you have set yourself against the Lord. If you set yourself against service, you have set yourself against the Lord. If you set yourself against His Word, you have set yourself against the Lord. Prove ...
For every ROD OF IRON, there is a ruling end, and a receiving end. Psalm 2 makes an argument to consider being on the ruling end of it. It is actually more of a plea than an argument. Fortunately, for a time, everybody gets to choose whether to rebel or join the Lord in His reign. Those that oppose will be overruled. Fury will follow foolishness. Which end of the rod of iron do you want to be on? Listen and decide. Comment and subscribe: https://youtu.be/pY_FNqNa...
