00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.339
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.359
 Our passion is to experience and express grace.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:10.500
 Join us.

00:00:12.220 --> 00:00:19.900
 We have wrapped up 1 Peter now, and we're going to spend the rest of this summer, as

00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:21.859
 Derek mentioned, in the Psalms.

00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.120
 I am really excited about this.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:30.539
 For me, Psalms has become, over the years, my favorite book in the Bible.

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.399
 Psalms is the hymn book of God's people.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:44.240
 It's poetry sung to God, words that are prayed to God, touching on the full range of emotions

00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:51.480
 that we feel, covering the full spectrum of life experiences, anything you've dealt with

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:53.640
 the Psalms deal with.

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.640
 I love that Psalms gives me words when I don't know how to talk to God.

00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:06.359
 I love that Psalms gives me permission to be honest about my struggles and the hard times,

00:01:06.379 --> 00:01:10.579
 and it helps draw me back to a faithful God and a place I can rest.

00:01:10.579 --> 00:01:19.140
 I love that Psalms helps engage my heart for those of you like me who have a tendency to

00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:28.299
 think with your head and to lead with this intellectual theology and sometimes lose sight of my personal

00:01:28.299 --> 00:01:31.120
 relationship with a personal God.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.340
 Psalms helps us.

00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:42.520
 So if poetry or singing or feelings are not your thing, you're not alone, you're in Huntsville,

00:01:43.340 --> 00:01:45.100
 hang in there.

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:47.320
 God wants to help.

00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:49.140
 He made you.

00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:55.820
 He loves all of you, every part of you, and He wants to shape your heart,

00:01:55.819 --> 00:01:59.099
 not just your head to follow Him.

00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:08.840
 In fact, there is a battle going on day in and day out for your soul, for the deepest part

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.919
 of who you are, and God is fighting for you, His children.

00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.240
 That is such good news.

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:24.420
 There's so much different poetry in the Psalms, so many different kinds of songs.

00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:28.500
 They don't all just say praise God and sing to Him a new song and shout for joy,

00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:30.000
 although we'll talk about some of those.

00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:35.780
 But over the next few weeks, we're going to sample some different kinds of Psalms

00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:38.600
 because we don't have time to cover 150 right now.

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.460
 This morning, we're going to look at Psalm 1,

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:47.659
 which leads us into the book as a whole with a song about wisdom.

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:54.240
 Wisdom for living in covenant relationship with God.

00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:56.760
 Wisdom Psalms answer things like,

00:02:57.219 --> 00:02:59.180
 how has God made us to live?

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:02.280
 What can relationship with Him look like?

00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:07.600
 What is the result of living with Him day by day?

00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.819
 Read with me hymn number one in God's holy word,

00:03:13.939 --> 00:03:17.240
 given to shape your heart and your life.

00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:22.060
 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,

00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.859
 nor stands in the way of sinners,

00:03:25.459 --> 00:03:27.599
 nor sits in the seat of scoffers.

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:31.840
 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,

00:03:32.019 --> 00:03:35.659
 and on His law he meditates day and night.

00:03:35.659 --> 00:03:38.939
 He is like a tree planted by streams of water

00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:41.039
 that yields its fruit in its season,

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:42.520
 and its leaf does not wither.

00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:44.919
 In all that He does, He prospers.

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:47.800
 The wicked are not so,

00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:50.859
 but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.699
 Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.379
 nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.319
 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:02.740
 but the way of the wicked will perish.

00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:04.699
 This is God's word.

00:04:04.699 --> 00:04:05.819
 Let's ask for His help.

00:04:07.739 --> 00:04:10.039
 Father, we give You thanks

00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:14.500
 that You would not only enter into relationship with us,

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.839
 but then tell us what that is to look like.

00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:18.920
 That You would not only create us,

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:22.180
 but then tell us how we're supposed to work.

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:27.459
 Would we hear You clearly this morning,

00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.439
 by Your word, by Your Spirit,

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.420
 directing our lives after You?

00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:35.459
 Give us ears to hear.

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.579
 Give us hearts to listen and obey.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.300
 Change us and mold us after the image of Jesus,

00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:44.620
 we ask in His name.

00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:45.680
 Amen.

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:45.819
 Amen.

00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:51.439
 Wouldn't it be wonderful?

00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:55.079
 Wouldn't it be wonderful

00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.420
 if when a neighbor was sharing a struggle with you,

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.959
 you know, work is frustrating,

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.839
 or marriage is just not working out,

00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:07.600
 or life is hard and it just doesn't make sense right now,

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:13.300
 if you were really able to listen instead of rushing away?

00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:18.160
 Rather than feeling equally hopeless yourself,

00:05:18.340 --> 00:05:21.840
 if you were able to tell them that you were praying for them

00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:26.779
 and actually expect that God would show up and work in their lives,

00:05:28.339 --> 00:05:32.039
 if rather than forgetting them in the pursuit of your own priorities,

00:05:32.239 --> 00:05:35.079
 you remembered and followed up

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.219
 and shared the hope of God's faithful presence in your life

00:05:39.219 --> 00:05:41.559
 and similarly hard times,

00:05:41.939 --> 00:05:44.000
 and you shared that with your friend,

00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:46.899
 wouldn't it be wonderful

00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:49.979
 if that was your normal life?

00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:53.500
 Wouldn't it be wonderful

00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:57.179
 if when your child is being disrespectful,

00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.039
 I know, just imagine, if,

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:02.719
 if you didn't lose your cool,

00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:06.500
 if you didn't start feeling resentful

00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:08.819
 because it makes you feel like a bad parent,

00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:11.179
 if you didn't shame your child

00:06:11.179 --> 00:06:13.699
 into treating you the way that you deserve,

00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:19.899
 but instead, if you calmly pointed your child

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:21.019
 to the love of God,

00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:23.699
 clearly shared with your child

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:28.560
 and your need for God's direction in all of life,

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:33.039
 and patiently showed your child the grace of God

00:06:33.039 --> 00:06:36.299
 to meet disrespectful people right where they are?

00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:39.759
 Wouldn't it be wonderful

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.079
 if when you saw your friend's new clothes

00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.599
 or home

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.280
 or Insta vacation pics

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:49.420
 when you're scrolling through,

00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:52.720
 you didn't immediately compare them to yours?

00:06:53.340 --> 00:06:54.260
 Wouldn't that be great?

00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:56.920
 If you didn't feel inferior

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.080
 or resentful

00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:00.340
 or covetous

00:07:00.340 --> 00:07:02.400
 or self-righteous,

00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.579
 if you didn't make a snide comment

00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:07.639
 to another friend,

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.000
 but instead,

00:07:09.219 --> 00:07:10.939
 you felt genuine joy,

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:13.019
 you rejoiced with them,

00:07:13.419 --> 00:07:15.819
 you were excited for your friend,

00:07:16.179 --> 00:07:18.019
 and you still felt excited

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:19.039
 about your decision

00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:20.959
 to sacrifice the next thing

00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.379
 on your wish list

00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:23.899
 to give to the neighbor

00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:24.699
 whose needs

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:26.659
 you've recently learned about?

00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:30.340
 Wouldn't it be wonderful

00:07:30.340 --> 00:07:33.600
 if when life starts getting frantic

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.180
 and you start feeling anxious,

00:07:36.780 --> 00:07:38.920
 the first things on your heart

00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.560
 were not your need for control,

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.260
 your pressure to perform well in the clutch,

00:07:45.500 --> 00:07:47.379
 your desire to impress others

00:07:47.379 --> 00:07:49.120
 so that you get ahead

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:50.280
 and your whole body

00:07:50.280 --> 00:07:52.740
 is feeling the tension of this stress,

00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:54.200
 some of you feel it right now?

00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.699
 But rather,

00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.479
 the first things on your heart

00:07:59.479 --> 00:08:01.920
 were God's sovereignty

00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.800
 and your shoulders relax.

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:09.459
 God's steadfast love for you

00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:12.240
 and you start breathing again.

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:15.699
 God's presence with you

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:18.560
 and a smile crosses your face.

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.319
 And the next day,

00:08:21.379 --> 00:08:24.079
 then an opportunity to serve comes up

00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.919
 and you feel not stressed

00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:28.300
 or anxious,

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:31.740
 but eager to use your gifts

00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:33.079
 to serve God's kingdom

00:08:33.079 --> 00:08:34.460
 and love others.

00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:36.720
 Wouldn't it be wonderful

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.259
 if that's what life was like

00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:40.799
 all the time?

00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.779
 Some of you chuckled a couple of times

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:49.419
 at that idealistic picture of yourself.

00:08:49.419 --> 00:08:54.039
 But part of singing Psalm 1

00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.379
 is to help us see as wonderful

00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:01.139
 living with God like this.

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:04.339
 Not that it's merely something to chuckle about,

00:09:04.439 --> 00:09:07.839
 but that it is really the way we can live.

00:09:08.839 --> 00:09:11.339
 To embrace that such a life

00:09:11.339 --> 00:09:13.639
 is not a life without hard things,

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:14.879
 full of easy days

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.939
 and constant successes all the time,

00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:18.600
 but that it is actually,

00:09:18.820 --> 00:09:20.280
 living with God like that

00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:21.440
 is actually,

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:22.740
 even when things are hard,

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:23.920
 true blessing,

00:09:24.520 --> 00:09:25.820
 real happiness,

00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:28.240
 the height of flourishing

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.940
 that we would read this,

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:32.420
 have it shape our hearts

00:09:32.420 --> 00:09:36.500
 and we would long to live like that.

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:40.900
 That's why God's people sing Psalm 1.

00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:43.319
 because he gave it to us

00:09:43.319 --> 00:09:44.720
 for that reason.

00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.500
 The psalm begins

00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:48.899
 with the first of three contrasts.

00:09:50.019 --> 00:09:51.740
 Contrast about the good life,

00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:52.740
 so to speak.

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.319
 It begins by considering

00:09:55.319 --> 00:09:58.819
 what fills us up.

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.980
 That's a question I want you to

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:04.480
 consider honestly this morning.

00:10:04.939 --> 00:10:07.319
 What actually fills you up?

00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:09.919
 What satisfies you?

00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.459
 What is shaping your heart?

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:13.679
 What's that thing

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:14.879
 that's becoming more

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.019
 and more valuable to you?

00:10:17.079 --> 00:10:18.039
 It's influencing

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.459
 what you most want

00:10:19.459 --> 00:10:20.819
 in a good life.

00:10:22.899 --> 00:10:24.579
 The psalmist says first,

00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:26.559
 the blessed, fulfilled,

00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.539
 happy member of God's people,

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.579
 man or woman,

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:33.259
 does not walk

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:34.980
 in the counsel of the wicked,

00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.279
 stand in the way of sinners,

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.120
 or sit in the seat of scoffers.

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:44.379
 What is shaping you

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:45.559
 when you roll out of bed

00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:45.980
 in the morning?

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:49.939
 When you sit in the carpool pickup line?

00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:51.959
 When you daydream at work?

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:54.000
 When you talk with your friends?

00:10:54.439 --> 00:10:56.720
 It could be the counsel

00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:57.980
 of the wicked

00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:00.959
 that you regularly live in.

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.600
 Telling you to chase after other things.

00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.900
 Your own image.

00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.960
 Not God's image in you.

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.139
 Chase after your own image,

00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:12.519
 your own possessions,

00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:14.860
 your own passions and pleasure.

00:11:15.860 --> 00:11:18.320
 So that you begin to find yourself,

00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:21.480
 having listened to that counsel long enough,

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.480
 standing in the way of sinners,

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:26.660
 planting yourself on a path

00:11:26.659 --> 00:11:29.379
 where it starts to feel comfortable

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:31.579
 to heed that advice.

00:11:32.219 --> 00:11:33.740
 To go your own way.

00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:36.539
 To pursue your own happiness.

00:11:36.719 --> 00:11:37.980
 You're entitled to that, right?

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.679
 Regardless of what God says,

00:11:40.839 --> 00:11:42.839
 that just begins to seem normal.

00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:46.139
 After all, I mean,

00:11:46.199 --> 00:11:49.019
 since when did being a goody-goody

00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:50.839
 get you the girl that you like?

00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:51.799
 Right?

00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.819
 Since when did being honest

00:11:54.819 --> 00:11:57.019
 get you ahead at work?

00:11:57.339 --> 00:11:58.099
 Come on.

00:11:59.439 --> 00:12:00.399
 I mean, you'll bend

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.639
 or even contradict God's word

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.019
 if it gets you what you want.

00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:06.179
 And that,

00:12:06.359 --> 00:12:08.519
 all the voices around you whisper,

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:11.039
 is the good life.

00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:13.199
 What you want.

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.639
 You know it is, right?

00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:17.259
 That's what you need.

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.399
 Life seems to go pretty well for you that way.

00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.159
 You lay back and relax.

00:12:24.299 --> 00:12:25.179
 You're enjoying things.

00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:25.779
 Eventually,

00:12:26.079 --> 00:12:27.159
 sitting yourself

00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.459
 in the very seat of the scoffers

00:12:29.459 --> 00:12:31.179
 who started this process for you

00:12:31.179 --> 00:12:32.000
 by telling you

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.500
 that God was not important

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:34.559
 to the good life anyway.

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.199
 Now you're the one saying that.

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:39.039
 Scoffers in the Bible,

00:12:39.299 --> 00:12:41.500
 in Hebrew wisdom literature,

00:12:42.740 --> 00:12:44.339
 have cynically decided

00:12:44.339 --> 00:12:46.179
 that they're hopeless

00:12:46.179 --> 00:12:48.219
 about God making a real difference

00:12:48.219 --> 00:12:48.859
 in the world.

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:51.059
 And they've pridefully decided

00:12:51.059 --> 00:12:52.419
 that they don't need God

00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:54.059
 in their lives anyway.

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:56.979
 Proverbs 21, for example.

00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:57.839
 Scoffer

00:12:57.839 --> 00:13:00.379
 is the name of the arrogant,

00:13:00.819 --> 00:13:01.599
 haughty man

00:13:01.599 --> 00:13:02.859
 who acts

00:13:02.859 --> 00:13:04.819
 with arrogant pride.

00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:05.819
 That's what it means

00:13:05.819 --> 00:13:07.019
 to be a scoffer.

00:13:07.319 --> 00:13:08.839
 Perhaps the psalmist

00:13:08.839 --> 00:13:09.379
 starts here

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:10.359
 by assuring us

00:13:10.359 --> 00:13:11.259
 that this is not

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:12.319
 the way of blessing

00:13:12.319 --> 00:13:14.359
 because it so easily

00:13:14.359 --> 00:13:15.819
 feels like it to us,

00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.279
 doesn't it?

00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.899
 You don't have to look hard

00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:20.240
 to get the counsel

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.279
 of do what feels good,

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.959
 be true to yourself,

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:26.279
 be whoever you want to be.

00:13:26.839 --> 00:13:28.360
 We wake up looking out

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.279
 for number one, right?

00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:32.379
 Many of the people

00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:32.879
 in Huntsville,

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.559
 most people in America

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.919
 will encourage you

00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:37.639
 to chase your dreams

00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.039
 with no regard

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.000
 for what God might say

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:41.439
 about it

00:13:41.439 --> 00:13:42.919
 or your life with Him.

00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.479
 Most social media wisdom,

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:47.639
 which I'm aware

00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.419
 could be considered

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:49.519
 an oxymoron,

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:51.740
 it will tell you

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:53.219
 how to be better you

00:13:53.219 --> 00:13:54.539
 by looking where?

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.759
 Inside yourself,

00:13:57.099 --> 00:13:57.759
 of course.

00:13:59.599 --> 00:14:01.019
 Scoffing at the idea

00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:03.879
 of God knowing better for you.

00:14:03.979 --> 00:14:05.240
 Who could know better than you

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.539
 what you need?

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.059
 And if that starts

00:14:09.059 --> 00:14:10.199
 filling us up,

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.740
 if that shapes our souls

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:14.259
 ten hours a day,

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.279
 we may come into a room

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.279
 like this once a week

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:19.740
 and gather with the people

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:20.399
 of God,

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.279
 but the battle for our souls

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.440
 will be lopsided,

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:25.539
 heavily invested

00:14:25.539 --> 00:14:27.460
 in other influences.

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:29.460
 Kids, it's part of why

00:14:29.460 --> 00:14:31.120
 your parents care so much

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.419
 about your friends

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:33.779
 and what values

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:35.220
 they speak into your life,

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.860
 because we know

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:38.399
 how easily our hearts

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.259
 are led astray

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:40.360
 even by people

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.419
 who care about us.

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:46.860
 But then those three verbs,

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:48.219
 walking

00:14:48.219 --> 00:14:49.379
 in the counsel

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:49.919
 of the wicked,

00:14:50.479 --> 00:14:50.919
 standing

00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.379
 in the way of sinners,

00:14:52.599 --> 00:14:52.979
 sitting

00:14:52.979 --> 00:14:55.039
 in the seat of scoffers,

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.479
 are contrasted

00:14:56.479 --> 00:14:58.019
 with verse two.

00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.799
 His delight

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:02.799
 is in the law

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:03.519
 of the Lord.

00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:05.120
 On his law,

00:15:05.199 --> 00:15:06.199
 he meditates

00:15:06.199 --> 00:15:07.399
 day and night.

00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:08.639
 This is how we know

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.500
 that this walking,

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:10.539
 standing,

00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:11.480
 and sitting

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.679
 are not mere

00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.079
 outward actions,

00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:16.220
 but these are really

00:15:16.220 --> 00:15:18.740
 soul-level challenges

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:19.519
 to us.

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.159
 What delights you?

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:25.980
 What do you meditate on

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:27.579
 over and over?

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:30.039
 What actually fills you up?

00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.079
 The psalmist says

00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:33.279
 the good life

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:34.039
 is when you are

00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:35.019
 filled up

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:36.299
 by the law

00:15:36.299 --> 00:15:37.579
 of the Lord.

00:15:38.099 --> 00:15:39.099
 And maybe that sounds

00:15:39.099 --> 00:15:39.799
 weird to you

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:40.779
 because you hear a word

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:41.539
 like law

00:15:41.539 --> 00:15:42.659
 and you think it means

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:43.579
 being obsessed

00:15:43.579 --> 00:15:44.659
 with a bunch of rules

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:45.419
 and making sure

00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:46.500
 you never violate

00:15:46.500 --> 00:15:47.559
 a thou shalt not.

00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:50.679
 That's only a piece of it.

00:15:50.819 --> 00:15:51.559
 The word is

00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:52.360
 Torah,

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.219
 meaning

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:55.519
 the instruction

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:56.759
 of Yahweh.

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:57.299
 Some of y'all

00:15:57.299 --> 00:15:57.799
 have been learning

00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.319
 about this

00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:59.420
 in a Leviticus class

00:15:59.420 --> 00:16:00.260
 recently

00:16:00.260 --> 00:16:02.020
 how God's Torah

00:16:02.020 --> 00:16:03.580
 is not just

00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:05.040
 specific do's

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:05.660
 and don'ts.

00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:06.820
 It is the covenant

00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:07.660
 story

00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:09.000
 of His creative

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.940
 power,

00:16:10.260 --> 00:16:11.240
 His gracious

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:11.920
 redemption,

00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:13.040
 His glorious

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:14.060
 purpose He has

00:16:14.060 --> 00:16:15.560
 for you as His people.

00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:16.980
 All of that

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:18.080
 is Torah.

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.780
 All the stories

00:16:19.780 --> 00:16:20.800
 of God's work

00:16:20.800 --> 00:16:22.040
 in relationship

00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:22.880
 with you,

00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:23.400
 His people.

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.460
 Not just the

00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:25.320
 Ten Commandments

00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:26.580
 He gave them,

00:16:26.680 --> 00:16:27.700
 but the relationship

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:28.500
 He brought them

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:29.420
 into with Himself

00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:30.480
 first.

00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:32.580
 That's the thing

00:16:32.580 --> 00:16:33.300
 that the blessed

00:16:33.300 --> 00:16:34.900
 one can't get over.

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.340
 Doesn't want

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:38.180
 to get away from,

00:16:38.420 --> 00:16:39.700
 can't go a day

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:41.360
 without contemplating

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:41.980
 deeply

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.820
 because it's

00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:44.080
 His great joy.

00:16:45.900 --> 00:16:46.100
 See,

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.040
 Psalm 1

00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:48.020
 in talking about

00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:48.480
 Torah

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.940
 is showing us

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:51.200
 that the Psalms

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.060
 are to instruct

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:53.039
 our hearts

00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:53.659
 to,

00:16:53.859 --> 00:16:54.179
 right?

00:16:54.599 --> 00:16:55.439
 To shape

00:16:55.439 --> 00:16:56.759
 our delights,

00:16:56.979 --> 00:16:57.799
 to teach us

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.439
 how God

00:16:58.439 --> 00:16:59.339
 would have us

00:16:59.339 --> 00:17:00.519
 shape our lives

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:01.739
 so that we too

00:17:01.739 --> 00:17:02.459
 love

00:17:02.459 --> 00:17:04.039
 what He does.

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:06.740
 I hope you're

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.639
 hearing this.

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:09.859
 God's Word,

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:11.359
 His truth,

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:13.339
 the Gospel story

00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:15.059
 must invade

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:16.919
 your soul

00:17:16.919 --> 00:17:18.059
 more often

00:17:18.059 --> 00:17:19.440
 than during

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.559
 a weekly sermon,

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.299
 right?

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.980
 More often

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:24.740
 than during

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:26.460
 a weekly sermon.

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.620
 It must guard

00:17:27.620 --> 00:17:28.320
 your hearts

00:17:28.320 --> 00:17:29.080
 more than

00:17:29.080 --> 00:17:30.180
 five minutes a day.

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.539
 It must shape

00:17:31.539 --> 00:17:32.000
 your life

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.620
 more than

00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:33.059
 just when

00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:34.140
 crisis hits.

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:36.940
 This Psalm

00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:37.880
 echoes God's

00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:39.340
 words to Joshua

00:17:39.340 --> 00:17:40.299
 as His people

00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:40.759
 are entering

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:41.740
 the promised land.

00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:42.220
 God says,

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:42.740
 this book

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:43.279
 of the law

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.039
 shall not

00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:44.420
 depart

00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:44.839
 from your

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.079
 mouth.

00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:45.779
 You shall

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:46.620
 meditate on

00:17:46.620 --> 00:17:47.220
 it day

00:17:47.220 --> 00:17:47.940
 and night

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.660
 so that you

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:48.980
 may be

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:49.680
 careful to

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.220
 do according

00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:51.079
 to all

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:51.779
 that is

00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:52.339
 written in

00:17:52.339 --> 00:17:52.519
 it.

00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:53.120
 The book

00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:53.579
 of the law

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:54.620
 never leaves

00:17:54.620 --> 00:17:55.860
 you on

00:17:55.860 --> 00:17:56.640
 your tongue,

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.339
 in your

00:17:57.339 --> 00:17:57.779
 heart,

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.559
 on your

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:58.920
 mind,

00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.759
 all the

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.400
 time,

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:01.380
 and it

00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:02.559
 changes you.

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.440
 It changes

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:04.019
 your life

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:04.579
 in every

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:05.240
 situation

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:05.960
 you encounter,

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:06.700
 even the

00:18:06.700 --> 00:18:07.519
 mundane ones,

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.539
 the ordinary,

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:09.160
 day in and

00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:09.539
 day out.

00:18:09.579 --> 00:18:09.940
 How am I

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.460
 supposed to

00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:10.720
 live?

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:11.759
 Listen to

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:12.120
 just some

00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:12.360
 of the

00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:12.819
 ways that

00:18:12.819 --> 00:18:13.740
 it impacts

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:14.140
 you.

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:14.500
 Psalm

00:18:14.500 --> 00:18:15.440
 19,

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.420
 the law

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:16.779
 of the

00:18:16.779 --> 00:18:17.500
 Lord is

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:18.120
 perfect,

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.279
 reviving

00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:20.039
 the soul.

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:21.299
 The testimony

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:21.779
 of the Lord

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:22.220
 is sure,

00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:23.500
 making wise

00:18:23.500 --> 00:18:24.180
 the simple.

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:25.880
 The precepts

00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:26.259
 of the Lord

00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:26.740
 are right,

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.740
 rejoicing the

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:28.000
 heart.

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:29.079
 The commandment

00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:29.519
 of the Lord

00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:30.039
 is pure,

00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:30.839
 enlightening

00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:31.759
 the eyes.

00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:32.579
 The fear

00:18:32.579 --> 00:18:32.940
 of the Lord

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.519
 is clean,

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.460
 enduring forever.

00:18:34.860 --> 00:18:35.339
 The rules

00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:35.759
 of the Lord

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.259
 are true

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:36.900
 and righteous

00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:37.920
 altogether.

00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:38.900
 More to

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:39.660
 be desired

00:18:39.660 --> 00:18:40.039
 are they

00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:40.620
 than gold,

00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:41.500
 even much

00:18:41.500 --> 00:18:42.299
 fine gold,

00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:43.360
 sweeter also

00:18:43.360 --> 00:18:43.960
 than honey

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:44.900
 and drippings

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:45.740
 of the

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:46.420
 honeycomb.

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.140
 Are you

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:48.100
 hearing this?

00:18:48.360 --> 00:18:48.620
 Do you

00:18:48.620 --> 00:18:49.299
 know what

00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:49.779
 the law

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:50.160
 of God

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.740
 does as it

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.680
 shapes your

00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:52.100
 heart?

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.539
 It wins

00:18:53.539 --> 00:18:54.120
 the battle

00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:55.059
 for your soul,

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:56.160
 brings revival

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.660
 there.

00:18:57.059 --> 00:18:57.980
 It makes you

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:59.079
 wise and

00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.000
 full of joy.

00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:00.799
 It helps

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.460
 you see

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:02.579
 all of life

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:03.220
 clearly,

00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:03.880
 opens your

00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:04.420
 eyes to

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:04.880
 what's going

00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:05.759
 on around

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:06.000
 you,

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:06.600
 and it

00:19:06.600 --> 00:19:07.339
 does all

00:19:07.339 --> 00:19:07.799
 of that,

00:19:07.919 --> 00:19:08.379
 get this,

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.379
 whether you

00:19:09.379 --> 00:19:10.099
 realize it's

00:19:10.099 --> 00:19:10.579
 happening or

00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:10.959
 not.

00:19:11.939 --> 00:19:12.419
 Isn't that

00:19:12.419 --> 00:19:12.720
 so,

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:13.659
 whether you

00:19:13.659 --> 00:19:14.199
 know what's

00:19:14.199 --> 00:19:14.819
 going on,

00:19:15.139 --> 00:19:15.539
 whether you

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:16.319
 understand how

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:17.059
 God's using

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:17.319
 it,

00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:18.519
 that's why it

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:19.480
 is so

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.220
 precious to

00:19:21.220 --> 00:19:21.740
 us.

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:24.779
 I'm going to

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.220
 point you to

00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:25.539
 one other

00:19:25.539 --> 00:19:26.419
 place to camp

00:19:26.419 --> 00:19:26.779
 out,

00:19:27.619 --> 00:19:28.639
 another wisdom

00:19:28.639 --> 00:19:30.539
 psalm about

00:19:30.539 --> 00:19:31.339
 God's word,

00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.439
 extolling the

00:19:32.439 --> 00:19:33.679
 law of the

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.060
 Lord,

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:35.340
 is Psalm

00:19:35.340 --> 00:19:36.840
 119.

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:37.620
 Yep,

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.600
 you heard me.

00:19:39.080 --> 00:19:39.799
 The big one,

00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:41.259
 the one if you

00:19:41.259 --> 00:19:41.779
 are on the

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:42.420
 Bible reading

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:42.860
 plan,

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.560
 you are currently

00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:44.420
 trapped in the

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:45.140
 middle of for

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.019
 the rest of the

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:46.240
 year,

00:19:46.340 --> 00:19:47.279
 not quite that

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:47.539
 long,

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:48.060
 but it feels

00:19:48.060 --> 00:19:48.539
 like it.

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:50.360
 Psalm 119

00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:52.460
 is a super

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:53.460
 acrostic

00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:54.539
 psalm.

00:19:54.580 --> 00:19:54.880
 You know what

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.480
 an acrostic

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:55.799
 is?

00:19:55.840 --> 00:19:56.360
 It's like when

00:19:56.360 --> 00:19:57.600
 somebody writes

00:19:57.600 --> 00:19:58.779
 you a note

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.680
 and they use

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:00.380
 your name,

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:02.860
 W-I-L-L,

00:20:03.100 --> 00:20:03.640
 wonderful.

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:05.120
 Intelligent,

00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:06.039
 loving,

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:07.279
 laughable.

00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:09.259
 That's usually

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:09.820
 what they write

00:20:09.820 --> 00:20:10.180
 on mine,

00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:13.820
 but one letter

00:20:13.820 --> 00:20:14.299
 at a time.

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:14.560
 You know,

00:20:14.620 --> 00:20:14.980
 they're telling

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:15.560
 you wonderful

00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:16.380
 things about

00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:16.600
 you.

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.960
 Psalm 119

00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:18.700
 does that,

00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:19.680
 but every

00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.380
 letter in the

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:21.140
 Hebrew alphabet

00:20:21.140 --> 00:20:22.480
 gets a full

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:23.420
 stanza.

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:24.600
 That's why

00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:25.900
 it's so long.

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.279
 Let me give

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:26.779
 you just a

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:27.660
 sample of its

00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:28.759
 riches and

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.160
 then I want

00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:29.440
 to give you

00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.120
 a challenge.

00:20:31.120 --> 00:20:31.480
 It's called

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:32.539
 the Psalm 119

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:33.259
 challenge because

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:33.619
 I'm that

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:34.079
 creative.

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:35.519
 There's a

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.140
 variety of

00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:36.640
 words for

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:37.099
 the law of

00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:37.480
 the Lord,

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.160
 for God's

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:38.400
 word,

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:38.720
 for the

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:39.700
 instruction God

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:40.700
 gives for

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:41.240
 our lives

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:42.359
 in Psalm 119

00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:43.200
 saying that

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:44.480
 we are blessed

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.480
 if we live

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:45.940
 by it.

00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.359
 It's where it

00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:46.660
 starts,

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.700
 verses 1 and 2.

00:20:47.700 --> 00:20:48.779
 It's worth

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:49.840
 delighting in

00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:50.539
 more than

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.559
 riches at

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.519
 all times,

00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:53.259
 verse 16,

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:53.779
 as a

00:20:53.779 --> 00:20:54.299
 counselor,

00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:54.940
 24,

00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:55.740
 with the

00:20:55.740 --> 00:20:56.080
 love of

00:20:56.080 --> 00:20:56.680
 your heart,

00:20:56.799 --> 00:20:57.480
 47.

00:20:58.319 --> 00:20:59.000
 It causes

00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:00.340
 marvel and

00:21:00.340 --> 00:21:01.080
 wonder,

00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:02.000
 18.

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.340
 Awe,

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.340
 even while

00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:04.720
 I'm being

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.819
 persecuted,

00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:06.620
 awe,

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:07.660
 161.

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:09.160
 God's

00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.700
 instructions

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.960
 are songs

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:11.539
 for my

00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:12.080
 heart when

00:21:12.080 --> 00:21:12.600
 I wander

00:21:12.600 --> 00:21:13.200
 away from

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.580
 whom,

00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:14.559
 verse 54.

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.879
 They're

00:21:15.879 --> 00:21:16.379
 worthy of

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:16.579
 my

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:17.240
 meditation,

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:18.559
 15,

00:21:18.659 --> 00:21:19.179
 37,

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.879
 97.

00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:20.740
 God's

00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:21.039
 word,

00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:21.440
 you'll know,

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:21.779
 is a

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.299
 lamp to

00:21:22.299 --> 00:21:22.899
 my feet

00:21:22.899 --> 00:21:23.399
 and a

00:21:23.399 --> 00:21:24.000
 light to

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.759
 my path,

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:25.379
 105.

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:26.399
 It's

00:21:26.399 --> 00:21:26.960
 eternal

00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:27.440
 and

00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.139
 unchanging,

00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:28.740
 89.

00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:29.359
 It's

00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:29.679
 what I

00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:30.099
 need when

00:21:30.099 --> 00:21:30.700
 I stray

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.359
 from God

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:31.799
 because I

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.119
 will,

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.399
 176.

00:21:33.679 --> 00:21:34.119
 It's

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:34.500
 worth

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.220
 praising

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:35.779
 God

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:36.259
 for

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:36.940
 seven

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:37.879
 times a

00:21:37.879 --> 00:21:38.099
 day.

00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:38.319
 That

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:38.659
 means

00:21:38.659 --> 00:21:39.379
 all the

00:21:39.379 --> 00:21:39.919
 time

00:21:39.919 --> 00:21:40.399
 it ought

00:21:40.399 --> 00:21:40.819
 to cause

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:41.039
 us to

00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:41.200
 be

00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:41.639
 praising

00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:42.359
 God.

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:42.639
 That's

00:21:42.639 --> 00:21:43.599
 164.

00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:45.440
 I'm

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:45.579
 going to

00:21:45.579 --> 00:21:46.099
 stop for

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:46.759
 now because

00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.299
 you're

00:21:47.299 --> 00:21:47.460
 going to

00:21:47.460 --> 00:21:47.799
 get to

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.240
 explore

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.779
 yourself.

00:21:49.899 --> 00:21:50.200
 Our

00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:50.859
 souls need

00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:51.419
 to meditate

00:21:51.419 --> 00:21:52.000
 here,

00:21:52.419 --> 00:21:53.019
 not just

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:53.740
 two minutes,

00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:55.659
 but much

00:21:55.659 --> 00:21:56.059
 longer.

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:56.480
 Whether

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.759
 you're

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.399
 doing the

00:21:57.399 --> 00:21:58.079
 reading plan

00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.819
 right now

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.799
 or not,

00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:01.359
 you need

00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:01.799
 God's

00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.139
 word

00:22:02.139 --> 00:22:03.019
 delighting

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:03.679
 and shaping

00:22:03.679 --> 00:22:04.940
 your soul.

00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:05.419
 So I

00:22:05.419 --> 00:22:05.819
 want to

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:06.319
 challenge

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:06.500
 you.

00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:06.740
 Here's

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:06.919
 the

00:22:06.919 --> 00:22:07.559
 challenge.

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:08.139
 Through

00:22:08.139 --> 00:22:08.559
 the end

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:09.240
 of July,

00:22:09.399 --> 00:22:09.839
 just a

00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:10.399
 few weeks,

00:22:11.139 --> 00:22:11.799
 while we're

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:12.139
 in the

00:22:12.139 --> 00:22:12.740
 Psalms,

00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:13.579
 to

00:22:13.579 --> 00:22:14.059
 meditate

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:15.379
 on one

00:22:15.379 --> 00:22:15.899
 stanza

00:22:15.899 --> 00:22:16.659
 of Psalm

00:22:16.659 --> 00:22:17.440
 119

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:18.399
 each day.

00:22:19.139 --> 00:22:19.599
 There are

00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:21.039
 22 stanzas,

00:22:21.139 --> 00:22:21.500
 so there's

00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:22.139
 plenty of

00:22:22.139 --> 00:22:23.039
 grace days

00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.579
 in there

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:24.139
 if you get

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:24.519
 off.

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.119
 Do it on

00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:25.419
 your own

00:22:25.419 --> 00:22:25.879
 schedule.

00:22:26.879 --> 00:22:27.619
 What I

00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:28.179
 mean by

00:22:28.179 --> 00:22:28.779
 that is

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:30.019
 read it.

00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:30.779
 In the

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:31.119
 morning,

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:31.679
 read it.

00:22:31.899 --> 00:22:32.259
 Keep the

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:32.919
 Bible open

00:22:32.919 --> 00:22:33.359
 on your

00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:34.220
 kitchen table

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:34.619
 or on

00:22:34.619 --> 00:22:35.399
 your phone

00:22:35.399 --> 00:22:35.960
 and come

00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:36.519
 back to

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:37.259
 those verses

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.899
 when your

00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:38.720
 mind is

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.639
 wandering.

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:40.799
 Don't scroll

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:41.299
 Facebook.

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.019
 Go scroll

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.500
 back to

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.140
 those verses

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:43.559
 and just

00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:44.220
 let them

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:44.779
 wash over

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:44.940
 you.

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:45.339
 Listen

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:45.859
 to them.

00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:46.140
 That can

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:46.619
 be really

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:47.119
 helpful.

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:48.420
 And then

00:22:48.420 --> 00:22:49.000
 read them

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:49.359
 again and

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:49.960
 pray through

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.660
 them perhaps

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:51.180
 at night

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.720
 before you

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:51.980
 go to

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:52.279
 bed.

00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.599
 Kids,

00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:53.960
 you can

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:54.119
 do

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.440
 something

00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:54.880
 fun.

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:55.400
 I think

00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:55.579
 it's

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:55.799
 fun.

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:56.140
 You

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:56.299
 can

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.480
 make

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:56.619
 an

00:22:56.619 --> 00:22:57.119
 acrostic

00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:57.400
 with

00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:57.559
 the

00:22:57.559 --> 00:22:57.819
 word

00:22:57.819 --> 00:22:58.500
 psalm.

00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:58.980
 Just

00:22:58.980 --> 00:22:59.180
 don't

00:22:59.180 --> 00:22:59.380
 forget

00:22:59.380 --> 00:22:59.500
 it

00:22:59.500 --> 00:22:59.740
 starts

00:22:59.740 --> 00:22:59.900
 with

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:00.200
 p.

00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:01.160
 Right?

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:01.480
 All

00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:01.720
 those

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.559

00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:03.839
 like

 s

 See

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:16.839
 in a

00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:17.099
 different

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:17.500
 way.

00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:19.019
 Let

00:23:19.019 --> 00:23:19.579
 God's

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:19.980
 word,

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:20.579
 the

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:21.200
 grand

00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:22.000
 story

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:22.279
 in

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.460
 which

00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:22.639
 he

00:23:22.639 --> 00:23:22.839
 has

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:23.359
 placed

00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:23.720
 you,

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.279
 his

00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:25.019
 instruction

00:23:25.019 --> 00:23:25.399
 for

00:23:25.399 --> 00:23:25.680
 your

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:26.019
 life

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.420
 and

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.700
 his

00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:27.240
 world

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.980
 fill

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:28.180
 you

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:28.500
 up

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:29.299
 rather

00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:29.500
 than

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:29.759
 any

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:29.940
 of

00:23:29.940 --> 00:23:30.139
 those

00:23:30.139 --> 00:23:30.399
 other

00:23:30.399 --> 00:23:31.039
 inputs

00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:31.379
 that

00:23:31.379 --> 00:23:31.639
 draw

00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:31.960
 you

00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:32.619
 away

00:23:32.619 --> 00:23:32.859
 from

00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:33.139
 him.

00:23:36.139 --> 00:23:36.779
 Two

00:23:36.779 --> 00:23:36.960
 more

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.200
 brief

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:37.720
 points.

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:38.920
 And

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:39.019
 then

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.159
 we'll

00:23:39.159 --> 00:23:39.339
 come

00:23:39.339 --> 00:23:39.440
 to

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:39.639
 this

00:23:39.639 --> 00:23:39.960
 table

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.599
 together.

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:42.980
 What

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.639
 fruit

00:23:43.639 --> 00:23:44.659
 does

00:23:44.659 --> 00:23:44.859
 what

00:23:44.859 --> 00:23:45.279
 fills

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.500
 you

00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:45.740
 up

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.099
 yield?

00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.480
 Different

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.099
 inputs

00:23:48.099 --> 00:23:48.579
 lead to

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:48.920
 different

00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:49.899
 outputs.

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:50.420
 Different

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:51.139
 loves

00:23:51.139 --> 00:23:51.980
 to

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.379
 different

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:53.200
 lives.

00:23:54.980 --> 00:23:55.379
 If

00:23:55.379 --> 00:23:55.539
 it's

00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:55.700
 the

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:56.099
 path

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:56.399
 of

00:23:56.399 --> 00:23:57.519
 wickedness,

00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:58.220
 sin,

00:23:58.339 --> 00:23:58.460
 and

00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:59.099
 scoffing,

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.500
 verse

00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:00.220
 four

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:00.759
 says

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.099
 you'll

00:24:01.099 --> 00:24:01.579
 become

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:02.079
 like

00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:03.079
 chaff.

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:04.659
 That's

00:24:04.659 --> 00:24:05.139
 a problem

00:24:05.139 --> 00:24:05.440
 see

00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:05.680
 because

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:05.899
 our

00:24:05.899 --> 00:24:06.740
 lives

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.159
 are not

00:24:07.159 --> 00:24:07.500
 lived

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:07.880
 merely

00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:08.279
 for

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.099
 ourselves.

00:24:09.420 --> 00:24:09.740
 We're

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:09.900
 to

00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:10.079
 bear

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:10.480
 fruit

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:10.839
 for

00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:11.440
 others

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:12.779
 but

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:13.579
 no

00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:13.980
 one

00:24:13.980 --> 00:24:14.880
 benefits

00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:15.619
 from

00:24:15.619 --> 00:24:16.299
 chaff.

00:24:16.779 --> 00:24:17.279
 That's

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:18.160
 the part

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:18.799
 you can't

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.259
 eat when

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:19.480
 you're

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:19.980
 winnowing

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.759
 the wheat.

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.220
 It just

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.859
 blows

00:24:21.859 --> 00:24:22.539
 away.

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.259
 In

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:25.099
 contrast,

00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:26.380
 however,

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.220
 if you're

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:27.920
 being filled

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.599
 up by

00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.019
 the law

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.299
 of the

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:29.559
 Lord,

00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:29.819
 the

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:30.460
 agricultural

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:31.180
 simile

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:31.680
 here in

00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:31.940
 this

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:32.440
 psalm is

00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:32.880
 quite

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.680
 different.

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.620
 You

00:24:34.620 --> 00:24:34.900
 remember

00:24:34.900 --> 00:24:35.100
 the

00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:35.740
 redwoods

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:35.920
 from

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:36.060
 a

00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:36.240
 couple

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.620
 weeks

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:36.960
 ago

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:37.500
 perhaps?

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:37.759
 A

00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.299
 firmly

00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:38.980
 planted

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.600
 tree

00:24:39.600 --> 00:24:39.900
 by

00:24:39.900 --> 00:24:40.660
 streams

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:40.900
 in

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:41.259
 the

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:41.820
 desert

00:24:41.820 --> 00:24:42.259
 and

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.500
 yes

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:42.960
 standing

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:43.420
 firm

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:43.600
 in

00:24:43.600 --> 00:24:44.039
 God's

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.340
 word

00:24:44.340 --> 00:24:44.660
 is a

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:45.019
 great

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:45.620
 image

00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:45.820
 but

00:24:45.820 --> 00:24:46.220
 the

00:24:46.220 --> 00:24:46.440
 image

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:46.620
 here

00:24:46.620 --> 00:24:46.740
 is

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:46.940
 even

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:47.279
 more

00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:47.600
 about

00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:47.820
 the

00:24:47.820 --> 00:24:48.420
 fruit

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:48.820
 isn't

00:24:48.820 --> 00:24:49.100
 it?

00:24:50.019 --> 00:24:50.600
 Timely

00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:51.600
 helpful

00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:52.519
 fruit

00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:53.120
 that keeps

00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:53.600
 coming

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:54.720
 lasting

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.880
 green

00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:56.759
 leaves

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:57.600
 beneficial

00:24:57.600 --> 00:24:58.400
 to all

00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:58.779
 you come

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:01.120
 situation.

00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:02.139
 See it's

00:25:02.139 --> 00:25:02.399
 not

00:25:02.399 --> 00:25:02.979

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:03.539
 life

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:03.659
 is

00:25:03.659 --> 00:25:03.859
 not

00:25:03.859 --> 00:25:04.319
 merely

00:25:05.019 --> 00:25:05.539
 enjoying

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:05.719
 the

00:25:05.719 --> 00:25:05.919

 everything

00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:41.419
 perfectly

00:27:41.419 --> 00:27:41.659

 God's

00:27:44.459 --> 00:27:44.939

00:27:44.939 --> 00:27:46.039
 rather

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:47.159

00:27:53.139 --> 00:27:53.779
 God

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.059

 sustained

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:55.319
 you in

00:27:55.319 --> 00:27:55.740
 heartache

00:27:55.740 --> 00:27:55.979
 because

00:27:55.979 --> 00:27:56.219
 you'd

00:27:56.219 --> 00:27:56.479

 forgave

00:27:58.359 --> 00:27:58.599
 your

00:27:58.599 --> 00:27:59.059

00:27:59.359 --> 00:27:59.679
 you

00:27:59.679 --> 00:27:59.879
 would

00:27:59.879 --> 00:28:00.219
 still

00:28:00.219 --> 00:28:00.799
 struggle

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.119
 with

00:28:02.719 --> 00:28:03.119
 you

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:03.639
 by

00:28:03.639 --> 00:28:04.259
 grace

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:04.699
 through

00:28:04.699 --> 00:28:05.679
 sacrifices

00:28:05.679 --> 00:28:06.019
 that

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.419
 for

00:28:08.419 --> 00:28:08.819
 you

00:28:10.859 --> 00:28:12.539
 that's

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.699
 what it

00:28:12.699 --> 00:28:12.839
 was
