There is a beauty to the Beautiful Game and much of it has to do with the rules and laws and order that has been established over time and with much testing and even a growth and evolution of the game of soccer. Today’s podcast features Psalm 19 and Soccer Psalm 19 which speaks about God, God’s Word, and Soccer.
Psalm 19 neatly presents such a “defense” to us about the nature of God and his law (the Bible). By the end of the psalm, the writer (David) is praying fervently and personally to God for his assistance in living a blameless life. It’s a great psalm for us to consider how (God’s) order leads to life and flourishing and we can pursue it in football, in faith, and in other aspects of life.
The Soccer Psalms, is a self-published book available on Amazon which is also in Spanish, British English, Portuguese, and French. All books are available globally on Amazon and contain 31 psalms that have been translated into “soccer psalms” — with words, language, and metaphors that connect soccer to God’s Word. I also include some reflection on the context and writing as well as some questions for reflection. Check out the collection below:
