Episode 17: The Clear Standards & Promises of God - Psalm 10:1-18

Jun 5, 2026    Brandon Alvillar

Why does it seem like the wicked prosper while God's people suffer? Why do selfishness, pride, and corruption appear to go unchecked? In this study of Psalm 10, we examine one of the Bible's clearest descriptions of wickedness and humility, revealing God's standards for judgment and His promises to those who trust Him.


Psalm 10 addresses a struggle familiar to every believer: the feeling that God is distant while evil thrives. Yet this powerful passage reminds us that God sees everything, misses nothing, and will ultimately fulfill every promise He has made according to His perfect righteousness.


Psalm 10 reveals that God's examination goes far deeper than outward actions. He looks at the heart, exposing motives, desires, and attitudes that often remain hidden from human eyes. While the world may celebrate self-promotion and personal gain, God calls His people to humility, faith, and dependence on Him.

Most importantly, this psalm assures believers that God is neither absent nor indifferent. He hears the desires of the humble, prepares their hearts, and will one day establish perfect justice. Because the LORD is King forever, His promises are certain, His standards are clear, and His people can rest in the hope of His coming righteousness.


Join Pastor b.Side as we begin our study through Psalm 10 and discover how God's clear standards reveal both the seriousness of sin and the certainty of His eternal promises.
