WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
 God, we long to meet with you,

00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:06.140
 to hear your voice,

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:09.040
 and to speak to you,

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:10.939
 adore you,

00:00:11.859 --> 00:00:13.060
 bring our requests to you,

00:00:13.700 --> 00:00:15.080
 confess our sins to you.

00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.879
 And we want to intercede on behalf of our church

00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:22.000
 and behalf of our city.

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:25.240
 We pray that you will lead us,

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:26.920
 speak to us first from your word

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.660
 so that our prayers are winged by the truth of your word,

00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:33.380
 informed by them,

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:34.579
 shaped by them,

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.840
 so that we may pray according to your will

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.160
 and be confident that our prayers will be answered by you.

00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:44.100
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:44.700
 Amen.

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:48.040
 We're in Psalm 39.

00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.460
 This is to the choir master,

00:00:59.859 --> 00:01:00.980
 to Jeduthun,

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:03.260
 a Psalm of David.

00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:14.859
 I said,

00:01:15.179 --> 00:01:16.439
 I will guard my ways

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.560
 that I may not sin with my tongue.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.439
 I will guard my mouth with a muzzle

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:24.000
 so long as the wicked are in the presence.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.859
 I was mute and silent.

00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:28.519
 I held my peace to no avail

00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:30.719
 and my distress grew worse.

00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.859
 My heart became hot within me

00:01:33.859 --> 00:01:34.739
 as I mused.

00:01:35.019 --> 00:01:36.000
 The fire burned.

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.319
 Then I spoke with my tongue.

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.260
 O Lord, make me know my end

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:44.459
 and what is the measure of my days.

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.759
 Let me know how fleeting I am.

00:01:47.539 --> 00:01:50.280
 Behold, you have made my days a few hand breaths

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.680
 and my lifetime is as nothing before you.

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:57.359
 Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath.

00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.879
 Surely a man goes about as a shadow.

00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.579
 Surely for nothing they are in turmoil.

00:02:03.039 --> 00:02:04.599
 Man heaps up wealth

00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.399
 and does not know who will gather.

00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:08.759
 And now, O Lord,

00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:10.400
 for what do I wait?

00:02:10.799 --> 00:02:12.240
 My hope is in you.

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:14.740
 Deliver me from all my transgressions.

00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:16.479
 Do not make me the scorn of the fool.

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:17.840
 I am mute.

00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.180
 I do not open my mouth

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:21.400
 for it is you who have done it.

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.579
 Remove your stroke from me.

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:26.039
 I am spent by the hostility of your hand.

00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:27.680
 When you discipline a man

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:28.939
 with rebukes for sin,

00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:30.599
 you consume like a moth

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:31.760
 what is dear to him.

00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:34.379
 Surely all mankind is a mere breath.

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:36.599
 Hear my prayer, O Lord,

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.219
 and give ear to my cry.

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.379
 Hold not your peace at my tears.

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.159
 For I am a sojourner with you,

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:44.860
 a guest like all my fathers.

00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:46.680
 Look away from me

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:48.340
 that I may smile again

00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:49.680
 before I depart

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.100
 and am no more.

00:02:51.099 --> 00:03:00.199
 In the book that C.S. Lewis wrote

00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.000
 entitled A Grief Overb,

00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.139
 in a tongue-in-cheek manner,

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:05.579
 he asks this question.

00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:05.879
 He says,

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:07.719
 what do people mean when they say,

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:08.879
 I am not afraid of God

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.060
 because I know he is good?

00:03:10.859 --> 00:03:12.959
 Have they never even been to a dentist?

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:15.379
 Because he's saying,

00:03:15.459 --> 00:03:16.859
 basically, when we visit a dentist,

00:03:17.019 --> 00:03:20.099
 two factors help us to endure

00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:22.239
 the painful drilling of our cavities.

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.180
 One is knowing that

00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:25.599
 it's only going to last a little while.

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:28.159
 Two, it's knowing that

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.740
 contrary to our instinct to flee pain,

00:03:30.859 --> 00:03:32.620
 the dentist knows better than we do

00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:34.280
 and that it's going to end up

00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:35.099
 being good for us,

00:03:35.180 --> 00:03:36.539
 the drilling that he is doing.

00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.919
 And these two simple observations

00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.840
 translate to our spiritual life as well

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:42.819
 and help us endure

00:03:42.819 --> 00:03:45.000
 far deeper troubles and afflictions

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:45.759
 when we remember that,

00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:47.500
 one, it's going to only last

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:48.079
 a little while,

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:49.959
 and two, that God's behind

00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:50.700
 and sovereignly

00:03:50.700 --> 00:03:51.540
 and he is good.

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.540
 And in Psalm 39,

00:03:53.700 --> 00:03:55.840
 we find David in some kind of distress

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.120
 and he goes from reflecting

00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:58.939
 on his distress

00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:00.360
 in verses 1 to 3

00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.900
 to a realization

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:03.600
 in verses 4 to 6

00:04:03.600 --> 00:04:05.140
 and finally to a request

00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:05.800
 to God

00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.100
 in verses 7 to 13.

00:04:07.700 --> 00:04:08.960
 Reflection, realization,

00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:09.819
 and a request.

00:04:10.659 --> 00:04:11.700
 And the summary of the Psalm

00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:12.860
 is that we are to hope

00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:14.159
 in the eternal Lord

00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.079
 and not in this fleeting life.

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:18.659
 And so first,

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.079
 he goes into his reflection

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.379
 in verses 1 to 3.

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:23.740
 He writes that

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:24.740
 due to the presence

00:04:24.740 --> 00:04:25.979
 of the wicked around him,

00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:26.919
 he has resolved

00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:28.319
 not to sin

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:29.120
 with his tongue.

00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:30.539
 So he's experiencing

00:04:30.539 --> 00:04:31.680
 some kind of affliction

00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:32.979
 and we don't know

00:04:32.979 --> 00:04:33.839
 exactly what it is.

00:04:33.899 --> 00:04:34.699
 Probably all the better

00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:35.779
 because then it's

00:04:35.779 --> 00:04:36.779
 universally applicable

00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:37.939
 what he's going through.

00:04:38.719 --> 00:04:39.860
 And he really wants

00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:41.500
 to cry out to God

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:42.180
 bitterly

00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:43.740
 and complain to him.

00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:45.120
 But he is concerned

00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.639
 that in doing so

00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.079
 he might speak rashly

00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:48.939
 and presumptuously

00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:49.980
 and sin against God.

00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:52.660
 And he's particularly wary

00:04:52.660 --> 00:04:54.660
 of blaming God

00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:55.100
 in the presence

00:04:55.100 --> 00:04:55.620
 of the wicked

00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:56.540
 lest he fuel

00:04:56.540 --> 00:04:58.100
 their unbelief in God

00:04:58.100 --> 00:04:59.000
 and their disdain

00:04:59.000 --> 00:04:59.680
 for God's people.

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:01.379
 So David notes

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:02.259
 in verses 2 to 3,

00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.600
 I was mute and silent.

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:04.600
 I held my peace

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.720
 to no avail

00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:06.879
 and my distress

00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:07.840
 grew worse.

00:05:08.220 --> 00:05:09.460
 My heart became hot

00:05:09.460 --> 00:05:09.980
 within me

00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:10.620
 as I mused

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:11.560
 the fire burned.

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:13.160
 So the expression

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.320
 my heart became hot

00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:14.740
 within me

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:15.939
 is similar to

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:16.480
 an expression

00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:17.020
 that's used

00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:18.560
 by Prophet Jeremiah

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.540
 in Jeremiah 29

00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:20.000
 where he says

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:20.660
 if I say

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:21.900
 I will not mention him

00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:22.980
 or speak any more

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:23.520
 in his name

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:25.000
 there is in my heart

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:25.420
 as it were

00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:26.460
 a burning fire

00:05:26.460 --> 00:05:27.600
 shut up in my bones

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.420
 and I am weary

00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:29.220
 with holding it in

00:05:29.220 --> 00:05:29.900
 and I cannot.

00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:31.440
 So it's describing

00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:32.020
 that kind of

00:05:32.020 --> 00:05:33.060
 burning passion

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:33.840
 a zeal

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:35.960
 an irresistible urge

00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:37.360
 to say something.

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:40.260
 And so after

00:05:40.260 --> 00:05:41.120
 reflecting

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.180
 on his

00:05:42.180 --> 00:05:45.699
 distress

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:46.980
 in verses 1 to 3

00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:47.879
 of Psalm 39

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.120
 he goes to

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.120
 he comes to

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:51.759
 a realization

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:52.980
 in verses 4 to 6

00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:54.319
 and

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.699
 in verse 4

00:05:56.699 --> 00:05:57.920
 of chapter 39

00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:58.740
 it says

00:05:58.740 --> 00:05:59.319
 O Lord

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.780
 make me know

00:06:00.780 --> 00:06:01.360
 my end

00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:02.160
 and what is

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:02.660
 the measure

00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:03.500
 of my days

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.439
 let me know

00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:05.160
 how fleeting

00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:05.860
 I am.

00:06:06.660 --> 00:06:07.740
 So in other words

00:06:07.740 --> 00:06:08.100
 he's saying

00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:08.480
 O Lord

00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:09.040
 when is this

00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.980
 all going to end?

00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:10.900
 show me

00:06:10.900 --> 00:06:11.379
 that this

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:12.740
 will all be over soon

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:13.360
 that my life

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:14.040
 is short.

00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:15.420
 And at the end

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:16.240
 of his reflection

00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:16.980
 David realizes

00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:17.600
 he already knows

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.000
 the answer

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:18.580
 to the question

00:06:18.580 --> 00:06:19.480
 and so he starts

00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:19.759
 to say

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:20.759
 in verses 5 to 6

00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.779
 Behold

00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:22.719
 you have made

00:06:22.719 --> 00:06:23.420
 my days

00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:24.680
 a few hand breaths

00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:25.939
 and my lifetime

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:26.699
 is as nothing

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:27.420
 before you

00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:29.120
 surely all mankind

00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.060
 stands as a mere breath

00:06:31.060 --> 00:06:32.139
 say love

00:06:32.139 --> 00:06:33.480
 surely a man

00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.099
 goes about

00:06:34.099 --> 00:06:34.819
 as a shadow

00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:35.860
 surely for nothing

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:36.959
 they are in turmoil

00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.740
 man heaps up wealth

00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:39.899
 and does not know

00:06:39.899 --> 00:06:40.740
 who will gather

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:43.259
 hand breath

00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:44.879
 is a measurement

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.920
 of four fingers

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:46.420
 basically

00:06:46.420 --> 00:06:48.500
 it's one of the

00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:49.360
 smallest measures

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.300
 units of measures

00:06:50.300 --> 00:06:51.080
 in the Hebrew

00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:51.800
 measurement system

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:53.300
 and so when he

00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:54.720
 compares his life

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.319
 to a hand breath

00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:55.660
 he's saying

00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:56.120
 that our life

00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:56.819
 is fleeting

00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.160
 it's a mere breath

00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.340
 it's here today

00:06:59.340 --> 00:07:00.319
 and it's gone tomorrow

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:01.340
 it's like a shadow

00:07:01.340 --> 00:07:01.840
 he says

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:02.860
 like that shifts

00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:04.000
 and disappears

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:04.759
 with the slightest

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.340
 movement

00:07:05.340 --> 00:07:06.160
 of the sun

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:08.200
 so then he concludes

00:07:08.200 --> 00:07:08.879
 in vain

00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:09.460
 do the wicked

00:07:09.460 --> 00:07:09.960
 prosper

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:10.560
 in vain

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:11.400
 do people fret

00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:11.960
 and grumble

00:07:11.960 --> 00:07:12.580
 in this life

00:07:12.580 --> 00:07:13.360
 in vain

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.379
 do people invest

00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:15.399
 countless energy

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.319
 and hours

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.259
 to heap up wealth

00:07:17.259 --> 00:07:17.680
 that they will

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.899
 leave behind shortly

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:20.500
 and so it's

00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:21.279
 not unlike

00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:22.600
 the way he describes it

00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:23.319
 not unlike a little

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.360
 child in the beach

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:24.860
 at the beach

00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:25.259
 who is

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:26.000
 you know

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:27.319
 with meticulous care

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.839
 building a sandcastle

00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:30.079
 not knowing that

00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.120
 in just a few moments

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.819
 a wave is about to come

00:07:32.819 --> 00:07:34.219
 and to wash it all away

00:07:34.219 --> 00:07:34.480
 right

00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.379
 just these people

00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:36.399
 who are heaping up wealth

00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.600
 and investing in this life

00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.339
 and so with that

00:07:39.339 --> 00:07:40.480
 he comes to that realization

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.899
 that we should hope

00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:43.040
 in the eternal Lord

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:43.899
 and not in this

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:45.459
 fleeting life

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:46.939
 this is a really

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:47.899
 helpful perspective

00:07:47.899 --> 00:07:49.159
 when we're in the middle

00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:50.399
 of distressing times

00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:51.259
 and circumstances

00:07:51.259 --> 00:07:54.299
 I heard the story

00:07:54.299 --> 00:07:55.579
 in 1852

00:07:55.579 --> 00:07:58.099
 the English poet

00:07:58.099 --> 00:07:59.379
 Edward Fitzgerald

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:00.079
 wrote this

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.620
 or retold rather

00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:02.419
 this babel

00:08:02.419 --> 00:08:03.099
 that's been around

00:08:03.099 --> 00:08:03.759
 for a long time

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:04.419
 it's called

00:08:04.419 --> 00:08:05.359
 the Solomon's Seal

00:08:05.359 --> 00:08:06.299
 he says that

00:08:06.299 --> 00:08:07.039
 there's a sultan

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:08.919
 who asks King Solomon

00:08:08.919 --> 00:08:09.719
 you know

00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:10.359
 like so if

00:08:10.359 --> 00:08:11.500
 because he had heard

00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:12.039
 of his wisdom

00:08:12.039 --> 00:08:12.659
 asks him

00:08:12.659 --> 00:08:13.299
 hey he's there

00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:15.060
 a saying

00:08:15.060 --> 00:08:15.780
 that you know

00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:17.280
 that will hold true

00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:18.960
 no matter what situation

00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:19.400
 in life

00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:20.579
 that will guide me

00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:21.660
 that can help me

00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:22.020
 in life

00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:23.060
 and apparently

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:23.939
 Solomon responded

00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:25.180
 this is probably

00:08:25.180 --> 00:08:25.840
 a made up story

00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:26.280
 but he says

00:08:26.280 --> 00:08:28.120
 this too shall pass

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:28.560
 right

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:29.780
 you guys probably

00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:30.259
 have heard that

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:31.460
 I've heard my neighbors

00:08:31.460 --> 00:08:31.939
 use it

00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:34.120
 and so that's helpful

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:34.460
 to remember

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:34.620
 right

00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:34.879
 that means

00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:35.899
 our difficult

00:08:35.899 --> 00:08:37.480
 neighbors will pass

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:37.820
 right

00:08:37.820 --> 00:08:39.340
 yes

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:40.100
 and our

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:40.940
 our

00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:41.700
 your illness

00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:42.420
 will pass

00:08:42.420 --> 00:08:42.820
 right

00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:43.760
 it's the

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:44.600
 your life

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:45.360
 will pass

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:45.720
 right

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:46.240
 David

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.480
 applies this

00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:47.960
 particularly

00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.340
 to distressing times

00:08:49.340 --> 00:08:50.120
 but it's equally

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.520
 applicable in times

00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:52.640
 of joy and celebration

00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:53.400
 right

00:08:53.400 --> 00:08:54.040
 so when

00:08:54.040 --> 00:08:55.379
 whatever we are enjoying

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:55.820
 if it's

00:08:55.820 --> 00:08:57.280
 if it's related to our

00:08:57.280 --> 00:08:58.560
 temporal life here on earth

00:08:58.560 --> 00:08:59.460
 it will pass

00:08:59.460 --> 00:08:59.820
 right

00:08:59.820 --> 00:09:01.200
 the delicious food

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:01.960
 we enjoy

00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:03.080
 will pass

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.639
 first Corinthians 6 13

00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:05.520
 says food is meant

00:09:05.520 --> 00:09:06.320
 for the stomach

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:07.200
 and the stomach for food

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:07.920
 and God will destroy

00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:08.960
 both one and the other

00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:09.759
 right

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.660
 uh

00:09:10.660 --> 00:09:12.500
 sexual intercourse

00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:13.320
 is one of the strongest

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.080
 pleasures of earth

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.520
 but that too will pass

00:09:15.520 --> 00:09:15.820
 right

00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:16.680
 as Jesus says

00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:17.000
 right

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.860
 there's no marriage

00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:18.300
 in heaven

00:09:18.300 --> 00:09:19.200
 Mark 12 25

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.259
 so the earthly pleasures

00:09:21.259 --> 00:09:22.320
 will be superseded

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.600
 by far superior

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.639
 eternal pleasures

00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.000
 so that phrase

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:26.879
 this too shall pass

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.680
 helps in both

00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:28.560
 distressing times

00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:28.840
 and

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:29.580
 uh

00:09:29.580 --> 00:09:30.480
 and in good times

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.620
 to help keep proper

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:32.160
 perspective

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.579
 on our attachment

00:09:33.579 --> 00:09:34.259
 to earth

00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:35.339
 um

00:09:35.339 --> 00:09:36.659
 and then so after

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:37.240
 his reflection

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:37.980
 on his suffering

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:39.120
 and his realization

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:39.980
 of the fleeting

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.939
 nature of life

00:09:40.939 --> 00:09:41.959
 he comes to his

00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:42.759
 final request

00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.139
 to God

00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:44.299
 in verses 7 to 13

00:09:44.299 --> 00:09:47.219
 he says

00:09:47.219 --> 00:09:48.799
 and now oh Lord

00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:49.959
 for what do I wait

00:09:49.959 --> 00:09:51.299
 and then he answers

00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:52.039
 my hope

00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:53.240
 is in you

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:53.899
 so

00:09:53.899 --> 00:09:54.639
 he's saying

00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:55.139
 concluding

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:56.079
 that we are to hope

00:09:56.079 --> 00:09:57.339
 in the eternal Lord

00:09:57.339 --> 00:09:58.699
 and not in this fleeting life

00:09:58.699 --> 00:10:00.039
 and because God

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.120
 is the only worthy

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.480
 object of our hope

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:02.860
 right

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:04.360
 and when our

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.340
 attention turns

00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:06.419
 from this fleeting life

00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:07.639
 to the eternal Lord

00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.039
 uh

00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:08.720
 that's

00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:09.840
 when for David

00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:10.720
 the pressing issue

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.240
 no longer is his circumstances

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:13.000
 his suffering

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:13.659
 his distress

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:15.580
 but his own sin

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.580
 so he prays

00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:17.560
 in verse 8

00:10:17.560 --> 00:10:18.299
 deliver me

00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:19.200
 from all my

00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:20.320
 transgressions

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.080
 right

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:21.700
 so as

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:22.340
 so he

00:10:22.340 --> 00:10:22.879
 and then

00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:23.960
 as he realizes

00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:24.940
 that it's

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:26.379
 God's disciplining him

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:27.080
 afflicting him

00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:27.680
 for his sins

00:10:27.680 --> 00:10:29.000
 he retreats

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:29.440
 once again

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:30.240
 into silence

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.840
 and uh

00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:32.420
 uh

00:10:32.420 --> 00:10:34.700
 and so this

00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:35.960
 this is a really helpful

00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:36.440
 uh

00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:36.880
 truth

00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:37.320
 to remember

00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:37.840
 that even

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.500
 the distress

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:39.220
 and the affliction

00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:39.860
 uh

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:40.760
 come from God's

00:10:40.760 --> 00:10:41.500
 sovereign hand

00:10:41.500 --> 00:10:41.700
 right

00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:42.480
 not only is our

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:43.540
 suffering short-lived

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:44.580
 it also comes

00:10:44.580 --> 00:10:45.300
 from a sovereign

00:10:45.300 --> 00:10:46.140
 God

00:10:46.140 --> 00:10:47.100
 out of his providence

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.140
 so David prays

00:10:48.140 --> 00:10:49.240
 in verses 10 to 11

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.240
 remove your stroke

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.720
 from me

00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:52.480
 I am spent

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.220
 by the hostility

00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:54.000
 of your hand

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.020
 and when you

00:10:55.020 --> 00:10:55.880
 discipline a man

00:10:55.880 --> 00:10:56.880
 with rebukes for sin

00:10:56.880 --> 00:10:57.520
 you consume

00:10:57.520 --> 00:10:58.240
 like a moth

00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.240
 what is dear to him

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.600
 surely all mankind

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:01.720
 is a mere breath

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:02.440
 so David's

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:03.299
 affirming that God's

00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:04.000
 disciplining him

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:04.740
 uh

00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:05.440
 as his father

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:06.139
 as Hebrews 12

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:06.680
 6 says

00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:07.580
 the Lord disciplines

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:08.820
 the one he loves

00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:09.720
 uh

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:10.360
 and uh

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:11.519
 and God disciplined

00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:12.820
 David in this case

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:13.720
 like a moth

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.879
 that consumes

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.940
 what is dear to him

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:16.180
 right

00:11:16.180 --> 00:11:17.740
 this is kind of hard

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:18.500
 for us to relate to

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:19.340
 because we rarely

00:11:19.340 --> 00:11:20.240
 deal with uh

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:21.120
 moth infestations

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.100
 in our city's

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:22.500
 context

00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:22.840
 but

00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:23.899
 but moths

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:24.399
 are pretty

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:25.019
 destructive

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:25.539
 right

00:11:25.539 --> 00:11:26.000
 I mean they

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.639
 you know lay larvae

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.179
 and uh

00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:29.240
 and they consume

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:29.860
 all kinds of

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:30.720
 natural materials

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.039
 right

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:31.940
 it's like wool

00:11:31.940 --> 00:11:33.179
 like hair

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:33.759
 leather

00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:34.659
 you know anything

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:35.559
 natural

00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:36.539
 they eat it

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:37.340
 and it's destroyed

00:11:37.340 --> 00:11:38.820
 and uh

00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:39.320
 and so

00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:39.980
 God's

00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:40.179
 it's

00:11:40.179 --> 00:11:40.559
 he says

00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.299
 God consumes

00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:41.980
 like a moth

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:42.779
 what is dear

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:43.840
 to him

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.299
 and why

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:45.820
 does God

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:46.200
 consume

00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:46.879
 what is dear

00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:47.580
 to us

00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:47.860
 right

00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:48.419
 in what he's

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:49.120
 disciplining us

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.940
 afflicting us

00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:50.840
 and I think

00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.259
 it's he

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:51.960
 loosens

00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.100
 our desperate

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:54.039
 grip on this

00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:54.399
 world

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:55.720
 when he consumes

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.319
 what is dear

00:11:56.319 --> 00:11:56.799
 to us

00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:57.059
 right

00:11:57.059 --> 00:11:57.579
 things of this

00:11:57.579 --> 00:11:57.860
 world

00:11:57.860 --> 00:11:58.480
 that are dear

00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:58.799
 to us

00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.459
 when he consumes

00:11:59.459 --> 00:11:59.659
 it

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:00.500
 he loosens

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:00.919
 our grip

00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:01.480
 on earth

00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:02.399
 and draws

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:03.159
 us near to him

00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:03.759
 makes us cling

00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:04.220
 to him

00:12:04.220 --> 00:12:04.980
 instead of

00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:05.360
 clinging

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:06.519
 to this world

00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:07.720
 and uh

00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:08.199
 and so

00:12:08.199 --> 00:12:09.319
 because of that

00:12:09.319 --> 00:12:09.860
 David's teachings

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.559
 we are to hope

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.079
 in the eternal

00:12:11.079 --> 00:12:11.799
 Lord and not

00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:12.240
 in this

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.519
 fleeting life

00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:14.319
 and and with

00:12:14.319 --> 00:12:14.840
 that he comes

00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:15.559
 to this conclusion

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.299
 verse 13

00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:16.779
 oh Lord

00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:17.819
 I am a sojourner

00:12:17.819 --> 00:12:18.419
 with you

00:12:18.419 --> 00:12:19.240
 a guest

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.340
 like all

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:21.279
 my fathers

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:22.539
 he says

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:23.579
 all his fathers

00:12:23.579 --> 00:12:24.340
 of faith

00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:25.220
 all the people

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:25.840
 that preceded

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.080
 him

00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.320
 were sojourners

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:28.360
 and this

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.720
 is in spite

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.060
 of the fact

00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:30.560
 that he's

00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:31.060
 already in

00:12:31.060 --> 00:12:31.440
 the promised

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:31.740
 land

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.160
 right

00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:32.500
 David

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:33.980
 is the one

00:12:33.980 --> 00:12:34.519
 that conquers

00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:35.019
 Jerusalem

00:12:35.019 --> 00:12:35.440
 he's in

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:35.820
 the promised

00:12:35.820 --> 00:12:36.160
 land

00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:37.120
 yet he says

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.840
 he is a

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:38.360
 sojourner

00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:39.240
 because I

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:39.639
 think he

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.500
 realizes that

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:41.139
 all of us

00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:41.700
 our ultimate

00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:42.440
 home is with

00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:42.899
 the Lord

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:43.480
 in heaven

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.660
 and therefore

00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:45.860
 all the people

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:46.100
 of God

00:12:46.100 --> 00:12:46.460
 who are on

00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:46.680
 earth

00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:47.040
 are still

00:12:47.040 --> 00:12:47.540
 sojourners

00:12:47.540 --> 00:12:47.980
 and a lot

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.300
 of the New

00:12:48.300 --> 00:12:48.519
 Testament

00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:48.940
 authors

00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:49.800
 grab hold

00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:50.040
 of this

00:12:50.040 --> 00:12:50.440
 idea

00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.600
 and use

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:51.800
 it

00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.159
 and as

00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.519
 he hopes

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:56.019
 in the

00:12:56.019 --> 00:12:56.299
 Lord

00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:58.139
 he asks

00:12:58.139 --> 00:12:58.719
 God to

00:12:58.719 --> 00:12:59.059
 pardon

00:12:59.059 --> 00:12:59.679
 his sins

00:12:59.679 --> 00:12:59.939
 because he

00:12:59.939 --> 00:13:00.740
 realizes that's

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:01.299
 what's keeping

00:13:01.299 --> 00:13:02.199
 him from his

00:13:02.199 --> 00:13:02.799
 full enjoyment

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.299
 of the presence

00:13:03.299 --> 00:13:03.719
 of God

00:13:03.719 --> 00:13:04.759
 verse 13

00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:05.559
 look away

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:06.039
 from me

00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:06.439
 that I may

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:07.219
 smile again

00:13:07.219 --> 00:13:07.839
 before I

00:13:07.839 --> 00:13:08.359
 depart

00:13:08.359 --> 00:13:09.379
 and am

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:09.959
 no more

00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.700
 obviously

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:12.100
 David's

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:12.540
 not asking

00:13:12.540 --> 00:13:12.940
 God to

00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:13.360
 go away

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:13.840
 and not

00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:14.340
 deal with

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:14.420
 him

00:13:14.420 --> 00:13:14.940
 but he's

00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:15.480
 asking God

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:15.960
 to look

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:16.560
 away from

00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:17.080
 him in

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:17.540
 judgment

00:13:17.540 --> 00:13:18.300
 from

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:19.160
 condemnation

00:13:19.160 --> 00:13:20.300
 and

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:22.580
 this is

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:23.139
 true for

00:13:23.139 --> 00:13:23.700
 all of us

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:23.940
 right

00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:25.360
 if God

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:26.080
 were to

00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.960
 count

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.960
 and mark

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.320
 all our

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:28.780
 iniquities

00:13:28.780 --> 00:13:29.680
 none of us

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:30.320
 can stand

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:30.639
 right

00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.700
 yet

00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:33.519
 because no

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:33.740
 one can

00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:34.080
 escape

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.360
 God's

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:34.780
 all-seeing

00:13:34.780 --> 00:13:35.080
 eyes

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.700
 and that's

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:37.540
 why

00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:37.940
 right

00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:41.040
 as

00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:41.560
 Christians

00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:42.340
 who have

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:42.880
 experienced

00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:43.260
 the ultimate

00:13:43.260 --> 00:13:43.600
 redemption

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:43.920
 of God

00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:44.320
 in Christ

00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:44.700
 we have

00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:45.020
 a better

00:13:45.020 --> 00:13:45.300
 hope

00:13:45.300 --> 00:13:45.680
 than even

00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:46.080
 David

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:46.760
 knew

00:13:46.760 --> 00:13:46.980
 I mean

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:47.280
 he knew

00:13:47.280 --> 00:13:47.880
 prophetically

00:13:47.880 --> 00:13:48.240
 of what

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.020
 God would

00:13:49.020 --> 00:13:49.340
 do

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:50.140
 but he

00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:50.520
 can't

00:13:50.520 --> 00:13:50.920
 really

00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:51.420
 in good

00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:51.860
 conscience

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.400
 ask God

00:13:52.400 --> 00:13:52.680
 to look

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:53.080
 away from

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:53.220
 him

00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:53.440
 because

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:53.780
 God's

00:13:53.780 --> 00:13:54.120
 a just

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:54.620
 judge

00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.640
 but God

00:13:55.640 --> 00:13:56.040
 can look

00:13:56.040 --> 00:13:56.520
 away from

00:13:56.520 --> 00:13:56.740
 him

00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:57.120
 God

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.900
 can forgive

00:13:57.900 --> 00:13:58.160
 him

00:13:58.160 --> 00:13:58.360
 God

00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:58.940
 can pardon

00:13:58.940 --> 00:13:59.340
 him

00:13:59.340 --> 00:13:59.860
 because

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:00.460
 he looks

00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:00.940
 ahead to

00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:01.300
 Jesus

00:14:01.300 --> 00:14:02.140
 his son

00:14:02.140 --> 00:14:02.980
 who lives

00:14:02.980 --> 00:14:03.360
 a perfect

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:03.680
 life

00:14:03.680 --> 00:14:04.180
 and dies

00:14:04.180 --> 00:14:04.560
 for our

00:14:04.560 --> 00:14:04.820
 sins

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:05.200
 and rises

00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:05.500
 again

00:14:05.500 --> 00:14:05.820
 so that

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:06.060
 his

00:14:06.060 --> 00:14:06.560
 righteousness

00:14:06.560 --> 00:14:07.540
 is imputed

00:14:07.539 --> 00:14:08.120
 to us

00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:08.639
 and so

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:08.899
 that

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:09.819
 as it

00:14:09.819 --> 00:14:10.120
 says in

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:10.480
 Isaiah

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:10.799
 and other

00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:11.039
 parts

00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:11.339
 God

00:14:11.339 --> 00:14:11.799
 does not

00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:12.259
 remember

00:14:12.259 --> 00:14:12.699
 his sins

00:14:12.699 --> 00:14:12.980
 against

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:13.319
 us

00:14:13.319 --> 00:14:14.439
 and I

00:14:14.439 --> 00:14:14.579
 mean

00:14:14.579 --> 00:14:14.939
 God's

00:14:14.939 --> 00:14:15.699
 not forgetful

00:14:15.699 --> 00:14:16.419
 he doesn't

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:16.959
 it's not that he

00:14:16.959 --> 00:14:17.519
 forgets our

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:17.799
 sins

00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:18.500
 but he

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.199
 chooses not

00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:19.860
 to remember

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:20.240
 our sins

00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:20.699
 against us

00:14:20.699 --> 00:14:21.039
 meaning he

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:21.740
 doesn't count

00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:22.179
 it against

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:22.539
 us

00:14:22.539 --> 00:14:23.439
 and so

00:14:23.439 --> 00:14:23.879
 David's

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.059
 prayer

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:24.539
 becomes a

00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:24.959
 reality

00:14:24.959 --> 00:14:25.459
 for us

00:14:25.459 --> 00:14:25.679
 God

00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:26.259
 looks away

00:14:26.259 --> 00:14:26.759
 from us

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:27.059
 from

00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:27.399
 judgment

00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:28.199
 and comes

00:14:28.199 --> 00:14:28.559
 to us

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:28.980
 looks to

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:29.299
 us in

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:29.699
 grace

00:14:29.699 --> 00:14:30.879
 and love

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.299
 only

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:32.740
 and

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:34.399
 for that

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:34.740
 reason

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.199
 we have

00:14:35.199 --> 00:14:35.620
 even more

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:35.980
 hope than

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:36.419
 David to

00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:36.839
 place our

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:37.360
 hope in

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:37.780
 him

00:14:37.780 --> 00:14:39.019
 more reason

00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:39.360
 than David

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.700
 to place

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:40.040
 our hope

00:14:40.040 --> 00:14:40.379
 in him

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:40.899
 and not

00:14:40.899 --> 00:14:41.200
 in this

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.680
 pleading

00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:42.519
 life
