Summary
How does nature sing to God? Today, Emma Dotter is joined by faithful Watermark member, Alfred Abraham to explain how nature declares the God of our salvation in Psalm 65. Nature speaks to how God preserves, provides for and protects us. As God cares about nature’s flourishing, so he cares about our flourishing. As Creator, God shows His power in creation and His intentionality in our lives today.

| 0:00.0 | All right, all right, join the Journey family, friends, and guests. |
| 0:04.5 | You're listening to Join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. |
| 0:10.1 | Thanks for joining today. |
| 0:11.9 | We are reading Psalm 65, and I'm in the podcast studio with the faithful Watermark member, Alfred Abraham. |
| 0:17.9 | Hey, Emma, it's nice to meet you. |
| 0:19.3 | Thank you for having me. |
| 0:20.0 | Oh, it's so great to have you here, Alfred. I'm excited to get to know you a little bit better. So would you just share what God's done in your life and then what you're up to today? Yeah, that's a loaded question. I'll try to keep it short. But I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, to parents who immigrated from India in the late 80s. They come from Christian |
| 0:37.7 | backgrounds, and I grew up going to church, being heavily involved in church-related activities, |
| 0:43.0 | understanding and believing the gospel to be true from a very early age. And a lot of my |
| 0:47.1 | formative years were pretty broken, though, due to fractured relationships within my immediate |
| 0:52.2 | family. Sin also, sin, sorry, also manifested in my life. |

| 1:01.3 | That's how I describe it now and his grace and his love to the extent I do now. |

| 1:32.8 | Sure. |
| 1:33.4 | So I stayed in Houston from my undergraduate studies and moved to the DFW area in 2016 where I started medical school. And it was my first year of medical school where I basically hit rock bottom. |
| 1:43.6 | Because it was so hard? It was a lot of things. It was my first time going away school where I basically hit rock bottom. Because it was so hard? |
| 1:44.9 | It was a lot of things. |
| 1:46.1 | It was my first time going away from home, didn't have any biblical Christ-centered community. |
