00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.760
 It's been so refreshing for me to be in the Psalms this summer.

00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:04.740
 I hope it's been that way for you as well.

00:00:05.540 --> 00:00:09.900
 Lord willing, this will be our last sermon on the Psalms for this summer.

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:14.140
 And then, Lord willing, again, maybe next summer we'll pick up with Psalm 8,

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:16.580
 which is a wonderful place to start again in the Psalms.

00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:19.120
 So Psalm 7.

00:00:24.580 --> 00:00:29.539
 Well, as I read this, keep in mind, this is God's very own word.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.619
 It's his inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear and sufficient word for you, for his people.

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:40.379
 Once I'm done with the reading, I'll say this is the word of the Lord,

00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:42.179
 and you can respond, thanks be to God.

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:44.460
 Psalm 7.

00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.739
 Shigion of David, which he sang unto the Lord,

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.200
 concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:16.379
 Verse 3.

00:01:16.379 --> 00:01:21.799
 O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands,

00:01:22.019 --> 00:01:26.479
 if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me,

00:01:27.039 --> 00:01:31.019
 yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy,

00:01:31.699 --> 00:01:34.939
 let the enemy persecute my soul and take it.

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.519
 Yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth

00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.859
 and lay mine honor in the dust.

00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:43.299
 Selah.

00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:46.560
 Verse 6.

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.260
 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger.

00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:53.340
 Lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies

00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:57.420
 and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:01.519
 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about.

00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:04.960
 For their sakes, therefore, return thou on high.

00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.919
 The Lord shall judge the people.

00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:10.939
 Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness

00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:13.620
 and according to mine integrity that is in me.

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:15.299
 Verse 9.

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:18.639
 O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,

00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.120
 but establish the just,

00:02:20.539 --> 00:02:24.280
 for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reigns.

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:28.120
 My defense is of God,

00:02:28.359 --> 00:02:30.299
 which saveth the upright in heart.

00:02:30.300 --> 00:02:32.960
 God judges the righteous

00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.660
 and God is angry with the wicked every day.

00:02:36.219 --> 00:02:39.240
 If he turn not, he wet his sword.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.680
 He hath bent his bow and made it ready.

00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.680
 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death.

00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.800
 He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:55.460
 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity

00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:57.340
 and hath conceived mischief

00:02:57.340 --> 00:02:59.760
 and brought forth falsehood.

00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:02.880
 He made a pit and digged it

00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:06.160
 and has fallen into the ditch which he made.

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.800
 His mischief shall return upon his own head

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.360
 and his violent dealing shall come down

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:13.920
 upon his own pate.

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:15.719
 Verse 17.

00:03:16.260 --> 00:03:19.920
 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:24.280
 and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.560
 This is the word of God.

00:03:27.880 --> 00:03:29.260
 Thanks be to God indeed.

00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:29.980
 You may be seated.

00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:43.960
 Let's pray.

00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:43.980
 Let's pray.

00:03:43.979 --> 00:04:04.699
 O Lord, you are our shelter.

00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.659
 You are the rock of ages that was cut open

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:12.199
 so that we can hide ourselves in you.

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.939
 Our shelter, Jesus Christ, is alive.

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:20.139
 Lord, draw us into your presence

00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:23.019
 inside the house of your Father in heaven

00:04:23.019 --> 00:04:25.620
 and speak to us, your children.

00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:34.399
 May we take your truth from your word like children eating with their family dinner.

00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.100
 May it be a delight to our souls.

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:39.040
 May you satisfy us once again.

00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:40.699
 Speak to us, Lord.

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.040
 You preach to us.

00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.540
 May we pray that you will give us hearts to hear.

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.560
 May every word of my mouth and may the meditations of our hearts be pleasing in your sight.

00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.700
 For Christ's sake we pray.

00:04:52.340 --> 00:04:52.700
 Amen.

00:04:52.700 --> 00:04:52.800
 Amen.

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:53.720
 Amen.

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:53.800
 Amen.

00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:54.800
 Amen.

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:00.960
 beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:05:02.220 --> 00:05:05.100
 does your soul have a refuge?

00:05:07.780 --> 00:05:10.199
 Does your soul have a refuge?

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.400
 I want to draw your imagination to this real family

00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:17.840
 in northern Brazil

00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:21.960
 with a child that's too soon to be three,

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.660
 if my calculations are correct.

00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:25.040
 And her name is Cristina.

00:05:26.260 --> 00:05:28.100
 Cristina's family is from Venezuela.

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.820
 And her family had to flee Venezuela as refugees

00:05:32.820 --> 00:05:34.880
 before she was even born.

00:05:36.380 --> 00:05:40.020
 Venezuela was plagued by hyperinflation.

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.440
 All those with some education

00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:44.040
 that could maybe keep the economy going

00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.040
 had left the country.

00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:47.480
 And now the lower middle class

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.280
 has no other options for survival

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:51.500
 but to run into a new nation,

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:54.040
 to cross a border and hope for a new start.

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:57.579
 When her family first arrived in northern Brazil,

00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.480
 they joined one of three camps,

00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:02.139
 refugee camps set up on the parks of the town.

00:06:03.300 --> 00:06:04.560
 And in these camps,

00:06:04.939 --> 00:06:06.860
 they experienced hunger,

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:10.500
 they experienced physical harm,

00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:15.759
 and many were tempted to even sell themselves

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.740
 just to get enough money to feed their family.

00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.839
 Over time, God provided for this little family

00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:22.620
 a shared home,

00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.339
 a very small apartment with two bedrooms

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:25.399
 for six families.

00:06:26.779 --> 00:06:29.720
 And it was better than being out in the tents,

00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.120
 but even there,

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:32.340
 their physical safety,

00:06:33.080 --> 00:06:33.900
 theft,

00:06:34.260 --> 00:06:37.140
 and a lack of medical care

00:06:37.140 --> 00:06:39.540
 made those living conditions almost impossible.

00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:44.620
 See, refugees, by definition,

00:06:45.140 --> 00:06:46.580
 they know they're in danger.

00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:50.460
 Refugees know they need to find refuge.

00:06:52.760 --> 00:06:55.900
 Refugees know danger is so real

00:06:55.900 --> 00:06:57.940
 that they live with a constant fear.

00:06:57.939 --> 00:07:00.259
 You could say they're crippled by fear on every side,

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.240
 a fear of sleep,

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.480
 sleeping at night because you could be attacked,

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:06.680
 a fear of not being able to have the medicine

00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:07.800
 that your family needs,

00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:09.959
 a fear of being rejected

00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.579
 by those you're living with now in this foreign country,

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.199
 maybe a fear of being kicked out of that country

00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:15.920
 by the government,

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:18.680
 and certainly fears about the future.

00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:20.100
 Will they ever feel safe?

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.839
 Refugees know that they need refuge.

00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.439
 Well, the context of Psalm 7

00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.779
 is that David has been driven out of his nation,

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.079
 and he's living in the wilderness

00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:34.839
 among the foreigners like a refugee.

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.359
 And the Lord taught David in the wilderness his need.

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:45.719
 Look how David describes his need in verses 1 and 2.

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.299
 He feels danger, not only physical,

00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:52.439
 but he's talking about danger for his soul.

00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:53.800
 See, in verse 2 he says,

00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.899
 the enemy wants to take my soul

00:07:55.899 --> 00:07:57.240
 and tear me to pieces.

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.379
 And so look at what David says in verse 1.

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.939
 What he says, it sets the tone for the whole psalm.

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:05.420
 He says,

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.439
 O Lord my God,

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.100
 in you I take refuge.

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.740
 And that's his call to the whole nation.

00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.100
 O people of God,

00:08:17.159 --> 00:08:18.680
 this is for you too, church.

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:19.860
 You are the people of God.

00:08:19.860 --> 00:08:23.139
 You need a refuge for your soul.

00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:26.180
 That's the message of Psalm 7.

00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.199
 I think that David wrote this psalm

00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.620
 after he had been spared,

00:08:30.740 --> 00:08:31.680
 after God preserved him

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:33.080
 and brought him back into Israel.

00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.440
 And he looks back on what God taught him

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:36.080
 through that time.

00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:37.860
 So it's a theological reflection

00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:40.220
 of one of the hardest moments in his life.

00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.980
 And I've tried to cluster these verses

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:45.080
 into five theological reflections.

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.440
 I'm going to give them to you

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:47.460
 in the form of questions.

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:49.019
 So listen for five questions

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:50.280
 as we move through these verses

00:08:50.280 --> 00:08:52.320
 and one response at the end.

00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:54.580
 So the first theological reflection

00:08:54.580 --> 00:08:56.960
 is this.

00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:58.940
 Are you aware

00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:00.280
 that your soul

00:09:00.280 --> 00:09:01.540
 needs refuge

00:09:01.540 --> 00:09:02.360
 from the enemy?

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.600
 Look at the superscription

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.300
 to this psalm.

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.360
 It's a psalm of David

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.040
 which he's saying to the Lord

00:09:09.040 --> 00:09:10.460
 concerning the words of

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:11.120
 Cush,

00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:12.519
 a Benjaminite.

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.519
 That means that this man

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.179
 who's bringing a lot of trouble

00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:17.579
 on David

00:09:17.579 --> 00:09:19.159
 is from a different tribe

00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:19.519
 than David.

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.759
 He's from the tribe of Benjamin.

00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.220
 And at the end of the book of Judges

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:23.699
 we see

00:09:23.699 --> 00:09:25.519
 the wickedness of the tribe

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:25.919
 of Benjamin

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:26.740
 was so great

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:28.960
 that all the other tribes

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:30.360
 gang up against Benjamin

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.419
 and go to a civil war

00:09:31.419 --> 00:09:32.000
 with Benjamin

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.639
 and nearly annihilate them

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.659
 because their wickedness

00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:36.079
 was so evil in the land.

00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:38.079
 Well, the people wanted

00:09:38.079 --> 00:09:39.199
 a king after their own heart

00:09:39.199 --> 00:09:40.100
 and they chose Saul

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:41.079
 because he was tall

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:41.560
 and handsome.

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:42.700
 He would be a king

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:43.560
 that all the other nations

00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:44.500
 would be impressed by

00:09:44.500 --> 00:09:45.759
 and guess what tribe

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:46.900
 Saul is from?

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.639
 He's from the wicked tribe

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:49.200
 of Benjamin.

00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:50.259
 The Lord says

00:09:50.259 --> 00:09:51.000
 you want to be like

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:51.740
 all the other nations?

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:52.639
 Have it your way.

00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.120
 So Saul is surrounded now

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.879
 by the army

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.340
 that's most loyal to him.

00:09:57.740 --> 00:09:59.480
 The closest you get to Saul

00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.700
 is going to be

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:01.560
 the blood relation.

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:02.980
 Those also from the tribe

00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:03.860
 of Benjamin.

00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:06.860
 So this would have been

00:10:06.860 --> 00:10:08.180
 earlier in David's life

00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:09.800
 before David ever became

00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:10.200
 the king

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.460
 before he ever took on

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:12.040
 the throne

00:10:12.040 --> 00:10:13.420
 and before David himself

00:10:13.420 --> 00:10:14.480
 ever abused the power

00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:15.160
 though he would.

00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:17.000
 This is at a different point

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:17.580
 in his life.

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:21.160
 So when David stood then

00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:21.879
 before the nation

00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:22.740
 and sang this psalm

00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:23.560
 unto the Lord

00:10:23.560 --> 00:10:25.740
 these are spirit-breathed

00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:26.379
 reflections.

00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.440
 Listen to verses 1 and 2.

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:29.640
 O Lord my God

00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:31.620
 in you do I take refuge.

00:10:32.160 --> 00:10:34.280
 Save me from all my pursuers.

00:10:34.940 --> 00:10:35.700
 Save me from those

00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:36.640
 that persecute me.

00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.299
 Deliver me

00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:40.179
 lest he tear my soul

00:10:40.179 --> 00:10:40.939
 like a lion

00:10:40.939 --> 00:10:42.840
 tearing my soul apart

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.679
 rending it in pieces

00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:46.559
 with none to deliver.

00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.899
 Well David is picturing

00:10:51.899 --> 00:10:53.120
 Saul like that lion.

00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:54.879
 That lion chasing down

00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.199
 a deer in the Middle East.

00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:57.919
 When it catches that deer

00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:58.600
 it's going to use

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.840
 its claws and its teeth

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:01.159
 to tear the flesh

00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.059
 apart of that deer

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:03.819
 and to devour

00:11:03.819 --> 00:11:05.159
 the insides

00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.879
 of that deer.

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:08.139
 That's what David

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:08.839
 is going through.

00:11:09.819 --> 00:11:10.919
 Saul is coming after me

00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:11.879
 and he wants to devour

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:12.559
 my soul.

00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:19.399
 Let me try to describe

00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:20.219
 for you why

00:11:20.219 --> 00:11:22.059
 from 1 Samuel 22

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:24.099
 it's a good comparison

00:11:24.099 --> 00:11:25.699
 of Saul like this wicked lion

00:11:25.699 --> 00:11:26.879
 preying on the innocent.

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:29.359
 1 Samuel 22 says

00:11:29.359 --> 00:11:30.339
 that Saul was there

00:11:30.339 --> 00:11:31.179
 sitting on the top

00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:31.639
 of a hill

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.539
 like a place

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:33.459
 from which he would rule

00:11:33.459 --> 00:11:34.839
 he's sitting in the shade

00:11:34.839 --> 00:11:35.679
 under a tree

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.519
 and he has a spear

00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.099
 in his hand.

00:11:38.199 --> 00:11:38.899
 Can you picture him?

00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:40.699
 And all of his servants

00:11:40.699 --> 00:11:41.859
 were standing about him

00:11:41.859 --> 00:11:43.239
 and then Saul speaks

00:11:43.239 --> 00:11:44.439
 to the tribe of Benjamin

00:11:44.439 --> 00:11:45.019
 he says

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:46.859
 hear now people of Benjamin

00:11:46.859 --> 00:11:48.399
 will the son of Jesse

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.439
 give every one of you

00:11:49.439 --> 00:11:50.519
 fields and vineyards

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:51.519
 will he make you

00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.159
 all commanders

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:52.919
 of thousands?

00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.359
 Give your allegiance

00:11:54.359 --> 00:11:54.839
 to me

00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:57.079
 not to Jesse's son David

00:11:57.079 --> 00:11:58.279
 that shepherd boy.

00:11:59.319 --> 00:11:59.939
 So Saul is

00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:01.280
 wooing the hearts

00:12:01.280 --> 00:12:02.600
 of the people of Israel

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:03.660
 and especially those

00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:04.980
 in the tribe of Benjamin.

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.460
 So he goes to hunt down David

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:07.620
 drives him out of the land

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:09.540
 and in these

00:12:09.540 --> 00:12:11.440
 these four chapters or so

00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:12.640
 1 Samuel 22

00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:13.400
 through 26

00:12:13.400 --> 00:12:14.700
 David describes himself

00:12:14.700 --> 00:12:16.480
 as a dead dog.

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:17.460
 That's what it's like

00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:18.320
 to live in the wilderness

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:19.760
 being hunted by Saul.

00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:21.180
 He describes himself

00:12:21.180 --> 00:12:22.480
 as a flea.

00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:23.880
 I'm a nobody Saul.

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:25.300
 These men around you

00:12:25.300 --> 00:12:26.060
 are twisting it.

00:12:26.140 --> 00:12:27.160
 They're trying to accuse me

00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:28.279
 of things I've never said

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:29.000
 or done.

00:12:29.059 --> 00:12:30.319
 I'm being falsely accused.

00:12:30.620 --> 00:12:31.339
 I'm a nobody.

00:12:32.199 --> 00:12:33.279
 And he calls himself

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.379
 a hunted bird.

00:12:36.199 --> 00:12:37.139
 See David knew

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:38.799
 he was a refugee.

00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:40.719
 He was in danger

00:12:40.719 --> 00:12:42.039
 and he needed

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:43.339
 to find a fortress.

00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:44.519
 He needed to know

00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:45.879
 his soul would be safe.

00:12:46.539 --> 00:12:48.039
 He needed a refuge.

00:12:50.939 --> 00:12:52.179
 The first step for us

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:53.019
 is just like David

00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:53.980
 it's to confess.

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:56.340
 We cannot save ourselves.

00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.000
 Our souls are hunted.

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:00.940
 There is an enemy

00:13:00.940 --> 00:13:02.519
 like Peter describes

00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:03.340
 Satan

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.460
 like a lion

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:05.360
 seeking whom

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:06.180
 he may devour.

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:09.399
 I think that

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.940
 we run the risk

00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:12.200
 of being most vulnerable

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.779
 when we feel

00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:13.500
 most comfortable.

00:13:14.180 --> 00:13:14.740
 Isn't it easy

00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:15.960
 for us to forget

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.000
 that there is a spiritual

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:17.840
 battle going on

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:18.539
 for our souls

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.779
 and there is an enemy

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:20.899
 who wants to devour

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:21.659
 your soul

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:22.300
 and destroy

00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:23.279
 your life.

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:26.120
 And if the enemy

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:27.460
 gets David's soul

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:28.399
 it will

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.800
 be torn apart

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:30.940
 torn to shreds.

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.440
 So God

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:33.180
 must be the one

00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:34.620
 to save David.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.220
 He has none else

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.240
 to deliver him

00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:37.779
 he says.

00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:40.639
 Does your soul

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:41.879
 have a refuge?

00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:44.080
 Are you

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.360
 still trying to build up

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.860
 a fortress

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:46.800
 of your own making

00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:48.259
 to protect

00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:48.960
 your own soul?

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.340
 or are you aware

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.180
 that your soul

00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:53.420
 needs shelter

00:13:53.420 --> 00:13:54.500
 from God alone

00:13:54.500 --> 00:13:56.060
 to preserve

00:13:56.060 --> 00:13:56.700
 your soul

00:13:56.700 --> 00:13:57.379
 your life

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:58.200
 from the enemy?

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.080
 I think that's

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:00.860
 the first reflection

00:14:00.860 --> 00:14:01.500
 David brings

00:14:01.500 --> 00:14:02.040
 to the people

00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:02.500
 of God.

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:04.840
 Oh Lord my God

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:06.200
 in you

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.500
 I take refuge.

00:14:09.300 --> 00:14:10.500
 The second question

00:14:10.500 --> 00:14:11.100
 is this

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:13.160
 does your soul

00:14:13.160 --> 00:14:13.920
 and does my soul

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:14.700
 deserve

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:15.920
 God's refuge?

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.639
 By our own merit

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.759
 we know that it doesn't.

00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.199
 But notice

00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:23.479
 how carefully

00:14:23.479 --> 00:14:24.539
 David examines

00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:25.000
 himself

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.179
 in the next few verses.

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:27.779
 Verses 3-5

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:28.919
 David says

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:29.939
 Oh Lord my God

00:14:29.939 --> 00:14:31.000
 if I have done this

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.459
 if there is iniquity

00:14:32.459 --> 00:14:33.620
 if there is wrong

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.199
 in my hands

00:14:34.199 --> 00:14:35.500
 if I have repaid

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.099
 my friend

00:14:36.099 --> 00:14:37.059
 who was

00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:38.099
 at peace with me

00:14:38.099 --> 00:14:38.719
 with evil

00:14:38.719 --> 00:14:40.000
 or plundered my enemy

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.000
 without cause

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.039
 let the enemy

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:42.639
 pursue

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.199
 and persecute my soul

00:14:44.199 --> 00:14:44.919
 and let him

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.799
 overtake me

00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.899
 and let him

00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:47.959
 trample my life

00:14:47.959 --> 00:14:48.860
 and tread me down

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:49.539
 to the ground

00:14:49.539 --> 00:14:50.819
 into the earth

00:14:50.819 --> 00:14:52.759
 let him lay

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.579
 my honor

00:14:53.579 --> 00:14:54.559
 in the dust.

00:14:57.179 --> 00:14:58.099
 See David knows

00:14:58.100 --> 00:14:59.240
 that if he's a hypocrite

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.360
 if he is

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.259
 a rebellious

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.040
 lawbreaker

00:15:02.040 --> 00:15:02.920
 that does not

00:15:02.920 --> 00:15:03.540
 fear God

00:15:03.540 --> 00:15:04.320
 that's exactly

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.220
 what he deserves.

00:15:06.540 --> 00:15:07.340
 So David is really

00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:08.480
 he's under pressure

00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:09.620
 from unjust saw

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:10.740
 and he's appealing

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:12.360
 to the higher throne

00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:13.379
 the higher king

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:13.860
 of God

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:15.159
 who is just.

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.659
 Rebellious criminals

00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:19.259
 don't deserve

00:15:19.259 --> 00:15:20.420
 God's refuge

00:15:20.420 --> 00:15:21.720
 and as long as

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:22.899
 David is proud

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.220
 and refusing to repent

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:25.000
 and running away

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:25.540
 from God

00:15:25.540 --> 00:15:27.000
 he doesn't deserve

00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:27.680
 to be spared.

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.500
 he does not deserve

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.500
 to find refuge

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.459
 in God.

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:34.359
 Now the good news

00:15:34.359 --> 00:15:34.959
 is that

00:15:34.959 --> 00:15:36.919
 David would be

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:38.039
 reflecting on the temple

00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:38.819
 the sacraments

00:15:38.819 --> 00:15:39.759
 the blood that would be

00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:40.019
 spilled

00:15:40.019 --> 00:15:40.620
 and those things

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:41.799
 would be counted

00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:42.759
 to him as righteousness

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:43.699
 because he was putting

00:15:43.699 --> 00:15:44.559
 his faith

00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:45.739
 in the future work

00:15:45.739 --> 00:15:46.639
 of Jesus Christ

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.219
 and now we can know

00:15:48.219 --> 00:15:49.139
 from the full counsel

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.799
 of God's word

00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.899
 that if your soul

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:53.039
 is clothed

00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.139
 in Christ's righteousness

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:55.620
 that means he has

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.319
 washed you

00:15:56.319 --> 00:15:57.980
 with his very own blood

00:15:57.980 --> 00:15:59.819
 and you do stand

00:15:59.819 --> 00:16:00.639
 before the throne

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.100
 of God

00:16:01.100 --> 00:16:02.199
 not condemned

00:16:02.199 --> 00:16:02.879
 any longer

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:03.799
 because you have

00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:04.600
 repented

00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:05.480
 you have run

00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:06.419
 and found refuge

00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:07.319
 in Jesus.

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:08.799
 Now

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.960
 when God has

00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:10.840
 washed you clean

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:11.659
 and he's put on you

00:16:11.659 --> 00:16:12.279
 the garments

00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:13.080
 that are white

00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:14.720
 of his own righteousness

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:15.519
 clothing you

00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.679
 scripture does tell us

00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:18.980
 to keep your heart

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:20.580
 to not defile

00:16:20.580 --> 00:16:21.899
 what God has made pure.

00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:23.079
 So

00:16:23.079 --> 00:16:23.679
 do you see

00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.799
 this glorious truth here?

00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.259
 The Lord clothes you

00:16:26.259 --> 00:16:27.199
 with his own righteousness

00:16:27.199 --> 00:16:28.000
 you don't earn it

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:28.799
 because we can't

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.120
 we can never deserve

00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:31.860
 his sanctification

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:32.740
 and his righteousness

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.799
 but when he does

00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:34.319
 clothe you

00:16:34.319 --> 00:16:35.840
 he does teach you

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.559
 through his spirit

00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:37.259
 working in you

00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:38.659
 to not defile yourself

00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:40.139
 that's the whole message

00:16:40.139 --> 00:16:41.360
 of the book of Revelation

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.120
 to the church

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.919
 do not defile yourselves

00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:44.840
 in the world.

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.379
 If you've

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:51.000
 acted unjustly

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.080
 then your soul

00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.059
 deserves to be

00:16:53.059 --> 00:16:53.779
 hunted down

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:54.779
 trampled

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:55.679
 and buried.

00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:57.799
 There's no false

00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.899
 sense of security

00:16:58.899 --> 00:16:59.679
 if you're standing

00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:00.340
 in your own

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:01.100
 righteousness.

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:02.980
 Your soul

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.559
 needs

00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:04.779
 a refuge

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:05.380
 that is not

00:17:05.380 --> 00:17:06.180
 of your own making

00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:08.240
 but if you have

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:09.240
 put your trust

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:09.799
 in Christ

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:11.240
 you need to

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:11.960
 keep your heart

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:13.380
 you need to

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:14.000
 do like

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.880
 David here

00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:15.640
 and ask God

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.279
 to search

00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.019
 all of you

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:18.000
 search your conscience

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.039
 and let him

00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.079
 expose what it is

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:20.980
 you need to confess.

00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.380
 Let me give you

00:17:22.380 --> 00:17:23.579
 just three short

00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:24.200
 verses from

00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:25.220
 all of the Bible

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:25.839
 to confirm

00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:26.460
 how important

00:17:26.460 --> 00:17:26.980
 it is that we

00:17:26.980 --> 00:17:27.819
 search our conscience

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:28.299
 and lay it

00:17:28.299 --> 00:17:28.880
 before God

00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:29.859
 just as David

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:30.539
 has done here.

00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:32.519
 2 Corinthians 1.12

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.200
 Paul writes

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.200
 and he's writing

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:34.779
 to the church

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:35.640
 as a fellow Christian

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.079
 he says

00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:37.279
 our boast is this

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:37.960
 the testimony

00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:39.460
 of our conscience

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:40.319
 that we have

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:40.960
 behaved with

00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.960
 godly sincerity

00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:42.940
 by the grace

00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:43.380
 of God.

00:17:44.579 --> 00:17:46.099
 1 John 3.21

00:17:46.099 --> 00:17:46.779
 Beloved

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:48.019
 if your heart

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:48.619
 does not

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:49.240
 condemn you

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:50.259
 have confidence

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:51.039
 before God

00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.680
 you see how

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:53.259
 important it is

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:53.599
 for you to

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:54.220
 approach the

00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:55.119
 throne of glory

00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.819
 you don't want

00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:57.639
 to be injuring

00:17:57.639 --> 00:17:58.279
 your conscience

00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.599
 you want to be

00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:00.259
 able to approach

00:18:00.259 --> 00:18:00.619
 God

00:18:00.619 --> 00:18:02.160
 saying

00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:02.759
 God search

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:03.240
 my heart

00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:03.759
 and I will

00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.119
 surrender

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:04.879
 I will repent

00:18:04.879 --> 00:18:05.399
 of anything

00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:06.139
 you show me

00:18:06.139 --> 00:18:07.960
 and that's not

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:08.940
 a new message

00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:09.599
 that's what God

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.160
 has told his

00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:10.960
 people all along

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.220
 Proverbs 4.23

00:18:12.220 --> 00:18:13.559
 says

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:14.980
 keep your heart

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.559
 with all vigilance

00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.759
 for from it

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.799
 flow the springs

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.600
 of life

00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:21.600
 keep your heart

00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:24.539
 John Flavel

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:25.299
 was an English

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:25.720
 Puritan

00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:26.279
 who suffered

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.240
 much persecution

00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:28.500
 he was exiled

00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:29.100
 he was thrown

00:18:29.100 --> 00:18:29.579
 in prison

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:31.180
 he was prohibited

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.519
 from preaching

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:33.740
 and during that time

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.180
 he wrote

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:35.200
 much of what we

00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:35.700
 have today

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:37.799
 and he would

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:38.319
 have been tempted

00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.200
 to seek revenge

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:39.940
 just like David

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:41.140
 had opportunities

00:18:41.140 --> 00:18:42.079
 two different times

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:42.819
 to take Saul's

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:43.240
 life

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.279
 listen to how

00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:45.859
 John Flavel

00:18:45.859 --> 00:18:46.759
 encourages the

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.319
 Christian now

00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:47.980
 who has suffered

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:48.539
 injustice

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:49.919
 Flavel said

00:18:49.919 --> 00:18:50.679
 by revenge

00:18:50.679 --> 00:18:51.379
 you might

00:18:51.379 --> 00:18:52.539
 destroy one

00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:53.039
 enemy

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.960
 yet when

00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:55.919
 Christ's love

00:18:55.919 --> 00:18:57.119
 constrains you

00:18:57.119 --> 00:18:58.799
 you conquer

00:18:58.799 --> 00:18:59.619
 three enemies

00:18:59.619 --> 00:19:00.919
 three enemies

00:19:00.919 --> 00:19:01.480
 what are they

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:02.759
 number one

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.319
 you conquer

00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:03.919
 your own

00:19:03.919 --> 00:19:04.519
 lust

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:05.720
 number two

00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.379
 you conquer

00:19:06.379 --> 00:19:06.939
 Satan's

00:19:06.939 --> 00:19:07.460
 temptation

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:09.240
 number three

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.000
 by God's grace

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:10.799
 you may conquer

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.619
 your enemies

00:19:11.619 --> 00:19:12.359
 heart

00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.359
 see when

00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:15.839
 Christ has

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:16.259
 clothed you

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:16.639
 with his

00:19:16.639 --> 00:19:17.119
 righteousness

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.819
 it's the

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:18.279
 love of

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:18.500
 Christ

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.359
 working in

00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:19.739
 you

00:19:19.739 --> 00:19:20.679
 that

00:19:20.679 --> 00:19:21.479
 constrains

00:19:21.479 --> 00:19:21.719
 you

00:19:21.719 --> 00:19:23.759
 when your

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.099
 soul is

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:24.399
 found

00:19:24.399 --> 00:19:25.099
 refuge in

00:19:25.099 --> 00:19:25.419
 God

00:19:25.419 --> 00:19:26.279
 you

00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:27.119
 want to

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:27.500
 trust

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.139
 him

00:19:28.139 --> 00:19:28.919
 from his

00:19:28.919 --> 00:19:29.219
 mighty

00:19:29.219 --> 00:19:29.639
 fortress

00:19:29.639 --> 00:19:30.839
 to be

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.479
 the avenger

00:19:31.479 --> 00:19:31.739
 you don't

00:19:31.739 --> 00:19:31.979
 want to

00:19:31.979 --> 00:19:32.359
 touch it

00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:32.839
 you want

00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:33.179
 to leave

00:19:33.179 --> 00:19:33.359
 it

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:33.919
 to the

00:19:33.919 --> 00:19:34.199
 Lord

00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.880
 praise the

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.120
 Lord

00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:38.440
 that

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:39.279
 by the

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:39.700
 work of

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:40.080
 Christ

00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:40.779
 we can

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:41.200
 pray like

00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:41.500
 David

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:42.080
 oh Lord

00:19:42.080 --> 00:19:42.700
 in you

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.180
 do I

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:43.860
 take

00:19:43.860 --> 00:19:44.759
 refuge

00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.200
 the third

00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:47.940
 reflection

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:50.620
 do you

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:51.039
 know

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.380
 that your

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:52.980
 soul also

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:53.480
 needs to

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:54.140
 find refuge

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:55.160
 from God's

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:55.900
 own justice

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:57.420
 so you need

00:19:57.420 --> 00:19:58.140
 refuge from

00:19:58.140 --> 00:19:58.580
 the enemy

00:19:58.580 --> 00:19:59.819
 you need

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.559
 refuge in

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:01.480
 the fortress

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:01.960
 of God

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:02.340
 alone

00:20:02.339 --> 00:20:03.720
 you don't

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:04.240
 deserve to

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.480
 be in

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:04.939
 that fortress

00:20:04.939 --> 00:20:05.639
 except by

00:20:05.639 --> 00:20:06.240
 his grace

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.480
 and you

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:07.759
 don't have

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.119
 a right

00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:08.659
 to be in

00:20:08.659 --> 00:20:09.379
 his refuge

00:20:09.379 --> 00:20:09.819
 in his

00:20:09.819 --> 00:20:10.319
 fortress

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.959
 unless the

00:20:11.959 --> 00:20:12.639
 justice of

00:20:12.639 --> 00:20:13.199
 God is

00:20:13.199 --> 00:20:13.879
 accounted for

00:20:13.879 --> 00:20:15.659
 because the

00:20:15.659 --> 00:20:16.139
 wrath of

00:20:16.139 --> 00:20:16.779
 God is on

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.699
 the evildoers

00:20:17.699 --> 00:20:19.079
 so here

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.559
 David is

00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:20.019
 drawing a

00:20:20.019 --> 00:20:20.339
 line in

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:20.699
 the sand

00:20:20.699 --> 00:20:21.299
 it reminds

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:21.699
 me of

00:20:21.699 --> 00:20:22.379
 Psalm 1

00:20:22.379 --> 00:20:23.000
 which sets

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:23.379
 the tone

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:23.659
 for the

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:23.939
 Psalter

00:20:23.939 --> 00:20:24.220
 there are

00:20:24.220 --> 00:20:24.679
 two ways

00:20:24.679 --> 00:20:25.179
 to live

00:20:25.179 --> 00:20:26.799
 while he's

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:27.539
 he's talking

00:20:27.539 --> 00:20:28.039
 about his

00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:28.439
 need for

00:20:28.439 --> 00:20:29.000
 refuge by

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.459
 the grace

00:20:29.459 --> 00:20:29.799
 of God

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:30.220
 over here

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:30.639
 there's a

00:20:30.639 --> 00:20:31.359
 stern

00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:31.839
 warning

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.919
 for those

00:20:32.919 --> 00:20:33.159
 who are

00:20:33.159 --> 00:20:33.599
 opposing

00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:33.899
 God

00:20:33.899 --> 00:20:34.399
 over here

00:20:34.399 --> 00:20:35.500
 the wrath

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:36.299
 of God

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:37.139
 is against

00:20:37.139 --> 00:20:37.839
 those who

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.359
 do not

00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:38.799
 repent

00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.359
 look at

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:39.859
 verse 7

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:41.459
 David says

00:20:41.459 --> 00:20:41.779
 let the

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:42.319
 assembly of

00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:42.720
 the peoples

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.199
 be gathered

00:20:43.199 --> 00:20:43.779
 about you

00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:46.919
 look at

00:20:46.919 --> 00:20:47.539
 this assembly

00:20:47.539 --> 00:20:48.059
 he says

00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:48.779
 and return

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:49.459
 on high

00:20:49.459 --> 00:20:50.179
 oh Lord

00:20:50.179 --> 00:20:51.039
 another

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.539
 translation

00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:51.899
 says

00:20:51.899 --> 00:20:52.259
 so

00:20:52.259 --> 00:20:52.799
 shall

00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:52.980
 the

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:53.359
 congregation

00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:53.859
 of the

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:54.099
 people

00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:54.619
 compass

00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:54.899
 thee

00:20:54.899 --> 00:20:55.299
 about

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:56.259
 and for

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:56.639
 their

00:20:56.639 --> 00:20:57.079
 sakes

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:58.099
 return

00:20:58.099 --> 00:20:58.699
 thou

00:20:58.699 --> 00:20:59.199
 on high

00:20:59.199 --> 00:21:00.379
 saying

00:21:00.379 --> 00:21:00.579
 Lord

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:00.939
 when the

00:21:00.939 --> 00:21:01.259
 people

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:02.059
 are not

00:21:02.059 --> 00:21:02.539
 trying to

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:03.079
 conquer

00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:03.559
 by their

00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:03.759
 might

00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:04.039
 but when

00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:04.240
 they're

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.799
 repenting

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.099
 when they're

00:21:05.099 --> 00:21:05.680
 coming before

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.180
 your holy

00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:06.640
 presence

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.279
 to your

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:07.619
 temple

00:21:07.619 --> 00:21:08.500
 receiving

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:09.259
 your grace

00:21:09.259 --> 00:21:10.379
 through the

00:21:10.379 --> 00:21:11.160
 shed blood

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.480
 of the

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.180
 sacrifice

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:13.119
 may you

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.019
 then look

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:14.420
 at them

00:21:14.420 --> 00:21:15.039
 may you

00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:15.660
 dwell with

00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:15.839
 them

00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:16.740
 as they

00:21:16.740 --> 00:21:17.240
 repent

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:18.140
 verse 8

00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:18.519
 he says

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.019
 the Lord

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:19.759
 judges

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.420
 the peoples

00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:21.400
 judge me

00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:21.779
 oh Lord

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.379
 according to

00:21:22.379 --> 00:21:23.160
 my righteousness

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.119
 and according

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:24.579
 to the

00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:25.099
 integrity

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:25.900
 that is

00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:26.539
 in me

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:28.220
 he said

00:21:28.220 --> 00:21:28.460
 I'm

00:21:28.460 --> 00:21:28.759
 I'm

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:28.920
 with

00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:29.119
 those

00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:29.259
 who

00:21:29.259 --> 00:21:29.759
 repent

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.200
 I'm

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:30.339
 with

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:30.539
 those

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:30.700
 who

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.000
 who

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:31.299
 take

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:31.480
 your

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:31.779
 gift

00:21:31.779 --> 00:21:31.960
 of

00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:32.440
 righteousness

00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.579
 but here's

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:34.159
 the contrast

00:21:34.159 --> 00:21:34.500
 the other

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:34.759
 side

00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.319
 verse 9

00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:36.180
 oh let

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:36.779
 the evil

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:37.839
 another

00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:38.339
 translation

00:21:38.339 --> 00:21:38.680
 says

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.079
 let the

00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.720
 wickedness

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.019
 of the

00:21:40.019 --> 00:21:40.319
 wicked

00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:41.299
 come to

00:21:41.299 --> 00:21:41.720
 an end

00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.039
 and but

00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:43.659
 may you

00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:44.720
 establish

00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.740
 the righteous

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.180
 and the

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:46.619
 just

00:21:46.619 --> 00:21:47.500
 you who

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.019
 test

00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:48.700
 you who

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:49.259
 try the

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:49.700
 minds

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:50.740
 and hearts

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:53.099
 see David

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:53.539
 is saying

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:54.399
 that all

00:21:54.399 --> 00:21:54.920
 people will

00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:55.399
 be gathered

00:21:55.399 --> 00:21:55.960
 before the

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:56.240
 Lord

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:57.099
 and his

00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:57.620
 favor will

00:21:57.620 --> 00:21:57.920
 be on

00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.200
 those

00:21:58.200 --> 00:21:58.359
 who

00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:58.599
 God

00:21:58.599 --> 00:21:59.039
 declares

00:21:59.039 --> 00:21:59.640
 righteous

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.200
 but upon

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:01.620
 those who

00:22:01.620 --> 00:22:02.079
 do not

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:02.500
 repent

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:02.859
 they will

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:03.259
 get his

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.740
 wrath

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:06.920
 and there's

00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:07.259
 no one

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:07.579
 that can

00:22:07.579 --> 00:22:08.160
 stand before

00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:08.700
 the Lord

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.799
 and plead

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:11.519
 self-righteousness

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:12.059
 because the

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:12.680
 Lord knows

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:13.519
 the mind

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.339
 and the

00:22:14.339 --> 00:22:14.640
 heart

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.299
 the King

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:16.839
 James uses

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:17.680
 a difficult

00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:18.079
 word

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.500
 it says

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:18.980
 the heart

00:22:18.980 --> 00:22:19.400
 and the

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:19.859
 reins

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:20.519
 but reins

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:20.859
 is spelled

00:22:20.859 --> 00:22:21.380
 without the

00:22:21.380 --> 00:22:21.559
 G

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.380
 so it

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:22.819
 really is

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:23.400
 maybe a

00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:24.140
 closer to

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:24.519
 the Hebrew

00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:24.960
 it's talking

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:25.420
 about the

00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:25.740
 kidney

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:26.880
 the Lord

00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.380
 knows the

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:27.700
 heart

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:28.200
 and he

00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:28.519
 knows the

00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:29.160
 part inside

00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:29.460
 of you

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:29.920
 that's even

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:30.620
 deeper

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:32.400
 the kidneys

00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.039
 so Hebrew

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.480
 poetry

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:36.420
 it's so rich

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:36.759
 you know

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.140
 the soul

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:38.759
 is what is

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.240
 in focus

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.680
 in all of

00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:40.220
 Psalm 7

00:22:40.220 --> 00:22:40.900
 this is a

00:22:40.900 --> 00:22:41.319
 spiritual

00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:42.380
 insight here

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:43.640
 and the

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:44.160
 Bible teaches

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:44.779
 that you have

00:22:44.779 --> 00:22:45.480
 an outer man

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.940
 and an inner

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.220
 man

00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:47.859
 your inner

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:48.240
 man

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.259
 your soul

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:50.640
 is searched

00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:51.180
 by God

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:52.519
 every part of

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:52.960
 the inside

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.279
 of you

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:53.539
 God

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:54.000
 knows

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:55.019
 thoughts

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.460
 hearts

00:22:55.460 --> 00:22:55.859
 soul

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.339
 kidneys

00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:57.420
 see God

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:57.879
 knows you

00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:58.359
 through and

00:22:58.359 --> 00:22:58.639
 through

00:22:58.639 --> 00:23:00.839
 and David

00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:01.319
 is saying

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:01.680
 Lord

00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:03.420
 judge me

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:05.039
 search my

00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:05.480
 motives

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.559
 look at my

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:06.960
 actions

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:07.599
 in this case

00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:07.920
 I've been

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.839
 falsely accused

00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:10.059
 I have nothing

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:10.779
 to hide from you

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:11.480
 because you see

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:11.799
 it all

00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:12.440
 already

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.660
 search me

00:23:13.660 --> 00:23:14.059
 through and

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.299
 through

00:23:14.299 --> 00:23:15.859
 you show it

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:16.319
 and I will

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:16.700
 repent

00:23:16.700 --> 00:23:17.740
 and may all

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.079
 those who

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:18.700
 gather around

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.279
 your holy

00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.279
 gathering around

00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:20.740
 the temple

00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:21.240
 of the Lord

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:22.059
 the shed

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:22.480
 blood of

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.120
 sacrifices

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:24.039
 may they all

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.500
 be searched

00:23:24.500 --> 00:23:24.980
 by you

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.779
 and may we

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:26.400
 all repent

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:27.220
 and confess

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:27.740
 our sin

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.180
 and trust

00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:28.779
 once again

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:29.660
 to receive

00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:30.380
 your grace

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:33.900
 this wonderful

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:34.480
 picture from

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.140
 the Old Testament

00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:36.200
 it's also

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:36.920
 preparing us

00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:37.519
 for the coming

00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.140
 judgment of

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:38.440
 God

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:39.880
 God will

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:40.819
 search every

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.160
 soul

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:41.640
 the living

00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:42.420
 and the dead

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:43.140
 all will be

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:43.720
 assembled

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:44.599
 before God

00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:45.740
 nothing will

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.200
 be hidden

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.519
 God will

00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:48.319
 have it all

00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:48.940
 in front of

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.160
 him

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.080
 and God

00:23:51.080 --> 00:23:51.740
 will weigh

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:53.000
 your righteousness

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.480
 in the balance

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:54.880
 of his

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:56.180
 just scales

00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:57.120
 he will

00:23:57.120 --> 00:23:57.640
 search your

00:23:57.640 --> 00:23:58.040
 mind

00:23:58.040 --> 00:23:58.640
 your thoughts

00:23:58.640 --> 00:23:59.500
 your hearts

00:23:59.500 --> 00:23:59.980
 your motives

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:00.480
 and mine

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.500
 we will be

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.100
 laid bare

00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:05.720
 so let's be

00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:06.300
 like these

00:24:06.300 --> 00:24:07.100
 repenting

00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:07.480
 Israelites

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.140
 that turn to

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:08.440
 the Lord

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:08.880
 now

00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:09.820
 and they say

00:24:09.820 --> 00:24:10.420
 Lord search

00:24:10.420 --> 00:24:10.720
 me I

00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:11.340
 confess my

00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:11.660
 sin to

00:24:11.660 --> 00:24:12.060
 you now

00:24:12.060 --> 00:24:13.100
 and it's

00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:13.700
 so refreshing

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:14.180
 that we can

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:14.700
 do this as

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.140
 a gathered

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.540
 body

00:24:15.540 --> 00:24:16.400
 at least

00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:17.040
 every week

00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:17.759
 we can do

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.400
 this privately

00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:19.040
 as often

00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:19.460
 as God

00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:20.380
 by the

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:20.580
 spirit

00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:21.019
 leads us

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.500
 to confess

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.120
 our sin

00:24:22.120 --> 00:24:24.180
 see any

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:24.740
 that God

00:24:24.740 --> 00:24:25.860
 finds righteous

00:24:25.860 --> 00:24:26.680
 the promise

00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:27.240
 is that he

00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.280
 will establish

00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:28.620
 them

00:24:28.620 --> 00:24:29.900
 they will not

00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:30.320
 be driven

00:24:30.320 --> 00:24:30.780
 out of the

00:24:30.780 --> 00:24:31.700
 land of his

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.080
 kingdom

00:24:32.080 --> 00:24:34.720
 and all

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.540
 who are evil

00:24:35.540 --> 00:24:36.280
 and wicked

00:24:36.280 --> 00:24:37.300
 God himself

00:24:37.300 --> 00:24:37.840
 will bring

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:38.540
 to an end

00:24:38.540 --> 00:24:41.200
 there will be

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.360
 no apocalyptic

00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:44.120
 fort that you

00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:44.660
 can you know

00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:45.160
 go into

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:46.120
 no bunkers

00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:46.859
 where you

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:47.339
 can hide

00:24:47.339 --> 00:24:47.719
 from the

00:24:47.719 --> 00:24:47.959
 coming

00:24:47.959 --> 00:24:48.419
 judgment

00:24:48.419 --> 00:24:49.259
 of God

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:49.799
 when Jesus

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.219
 Christ

00:24:50.219 --> 00:24:50.719
 comes with

00:24:50.719 --> 00:24:51.239
 the army

00:24:51.239 --> 00:24:52.099
 of heaven

00:24:52.099 --> 00:24:53.239
 he will

00:24:53.239 --> 00:24:53.679
 judge

00:24:53.679 --> 00:24:54.500
 the living

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:54.839
 and the

00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.579
 dead

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:56.759
 so you

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:57.179
 must

00:24:57.179 --> 00:24:57.959
 take your

00:24:57.959 --> 00:24:58.379
 refuge

00:24:58.379 --> 00:24:58.959
 in him

00:24:58.959 --> 00:24:59.339
 now

00:24:59.339 --> 00:25:00.099
 confess

00:25:00.099 --> 00:25:00.639
 your sin

00:25:00.639 --> 00:25:01.059
 and repent

00:25:01.059 --> 00:25:01.439
 to him

00:25:01.439 --> 00:25:01.799
 now

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:03.000
 and you

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:03.459
 will find

00:25:03.459 --> 00:25:03.979
 refuge

00:25:03.979 --> 00:25:04.599
 in him

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:09.539
 does your

00:25:09.539 --> 00:25:09.879
 soul

00:25:09.879 --> 00:25:12.019
 have a

00:25:12.019 --> 00:25:12.459
 refuge

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:15.759
 the

00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:16.039
 fourth

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:16.559
 theological

00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:17.100
 reflection

00:25:17.100 --> 00:25:18.039
 is this

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:20.120
 for those

00:25:20.120 --> 00:25:20.680
 who refuse

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.240
 to repent

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:21.600
 now

00:25:21.600 --> 00:25:23.600
 they are

00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:24.420
 in rebellion

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:25.700
 and those

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.259
 in rebellion

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:27.100
 against God

00:25:27.100 --> 00:25:28.180
 they are

00:25:28.180 --> 00:25:28.940
 raging against

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.299
 God

00:25:29.299 --> 00:25:31.039
 and it's

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.440
 futile

00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:32.279
 it is

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:32.640
 futile

00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:33.180
 to rage

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.720
 against this

00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:34.620
 mighty fortress

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:35.480
 this refuge

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:36.539
 this shelter

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:37.180
 of God

00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:38.720
 he uses

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.680
 language of

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:41.180
 war and

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:41.759
 battle here

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.480
 I skipped

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:45.259
 verse 6

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:45.759
 on purpose

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.279
 because I

00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:46.559
 want to

00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.440
 show you

00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:47.799
 how it's

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.200
 connected

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.559
 to what

00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:48.799
 God

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.079
 does

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:49.460
 so look

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:49.799
 at verse

00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:50.559
 6 next

00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.500
 verse 6

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.059
 David says

00:25:54.059 --> 00:25:54.799
 arise oh

00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:55.059
 Lord

00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:55.759
 in your

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.299
 anger

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:57.579
 lift

00:25:57.579 --> 00:25:58.000
 yourself

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.299
 up

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:58.779
 against

00:25:58.779 --> 00:25:59.059
 the

00:25:59.059 --> 00:25:59.400
 fury

00:25:59.400 --> 00:25:59.619
 of

00:25:59.619 --> 00:25:59.859
 mine

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.440
 enemies

00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.240
 because

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:02.759
 of their

00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.220
 rage

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.720
 he says

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.680
 awake

00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:06.400
 awake

00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:06.900
 for me

00:26:06.900 --> 00:26:09.720
 he said

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:09.980
 Lord

00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:10.359
 you have

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:10.759
 appointed

00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:11.000
 a

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.339
 judgment

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:12.839
 these

00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:13.159
 people

00:26:13.159 --> 00:26:13.619
 rebel

00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:14.000
 against

00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:14.259
 you

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:15.839
 and it

00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:16.159
 feels

00:26:16.159 --> 00:26:16.519
 to me

00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:16.720
 that

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.059
 you're

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:17.939
 asleep

00:26:17.939 --> 00:26:18.659
 that

00:26:18.659 --> 00:26:18.859
 you're

00:26:18.859 --> 00:26:19.139
 sitting

00:26:19.139 --> 00:26:19.559
 down

00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:20.679
 says

00:26:20.679 --> 00:26:20.939
 Lord

00:26:20.939 --> 00:26:21.220
 do you

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.399
 see

00:26:21.399 --> 00:26:21.599
 my

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.099
 injustice

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:22.579
 I'm

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:22.759
 with

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:22.959
 those

00:26:22.959 --> 00:26:23.119
 who

00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:23.559
 repent

00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:24.279
 please

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:24.699
 rise

00:26:24.699 --> 00:26:25.019
 now

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:25.459
 in

00:26:25.459 --> 00:26:25.759
 our

00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:26.359
 defense

00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:27.679
 and look

00:26:27.679 --> 00:26:27.899
 at how

00:26:27.899 --> 00:26:28.339
 this gets

00:26:28.339 --> 00:26:28.779
 answered

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.079
 in the

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:29.299
 next

00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:29.579
 verses

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:29.939
 starting

00:26:29.939 --> 00:26:30.099
 at

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:30.319
 verse

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:30.740
 10

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.740
 David

00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:32.139
 now

00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:32.939
 beholds

00:26:32.939 --> 00:26:33.339
 the

00:26:33.339 --> 00:26:33.799
 fortress

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.059
 of

00:26:34.059 --> 00:26:34.379
 God

00:26:34.379 --> 00:26:35.179
 fighting

00:26:35.179 --> 00:26:35.500
 back

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:35.799
 in this

00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:36.139
 battle

00:26:36.139 --> 00:26:36.679
 bringing

00:26:36.679 --> 00:26:36.959
 his

00:26:36.959 --> 00:26:37.379
 judgment

00:26:37.379 --> 00:26:38.259
 in verse

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:38.439
 10

00:26:38.439 --> 00:26:38.759
 he says

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:39.500
 my shield

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.299
 is with

00:26:40.299 --> 00:26:40.839
 God

00:26:41.339 --> 00:26:42.179
 my defense

00:26:42.179 --> 00:26:42.559
 is with

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:43.019
 God

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:43.720
 who

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.240
 awakes

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:45.079
 for me

00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:46.480
 he saves

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:47.379
 the upright

00:26:47.379 --> 00:26:47.839
 in heart

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.699
 verse 11

00:26:48.699 --> 00:26:49.619
 God who

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:50.019
 judges

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:51.099
 the righteous

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:51.759
 is a

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.199
 righteous

00:26:52.199 --> 00:26:53.159
 judge

00:26:53.159 --> 00:26:54.599
 now here's a

00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:55.559
 difficult phrase

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:56.459
 listen to what he says

00:26:56.459 --> 00:26:57.179
 in verse 11

00:26:57.179 --> 00:26:59.000
 a God

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:00.079
 who feels

00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:01.139
 indignation

00:27:01.139 --> 00:27:02.119
 a God who

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.059
 feels anger

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:04.059
 every day

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:06.699
 says God is angry

00:27:06.699 --> 00:27:07.519
 with the wicked

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:08.240
 every day

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:10.779
 verse 12

00:27:10.779 --> 00:27:11.460
 if a man

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:11.980
 does not

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.319
 turn

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:12.880
 does not

00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:13.299
 repent

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:14.240
 then God

00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:15.120
 wets his

00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:15.420
 sword

00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:16.359
 he sharpens

00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:17.380
 the blade

00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:17.759
 of his

00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:18.079
 sword

00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:19.579
 he says

00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:20.120
 God's

00:27:20.120 --> 00:27:21.299
 bow and

00:27:21.299 --> 00:27:21.539
 arrow

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:22.220
 are ready

00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:23.039
 to be

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.519
 released

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:24.339
 he has

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:24.859
 readied

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:25.660
 and bent

00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:26.200
 his bow

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.420
 verse 13

00:27:28.420 --> 00:27:29.039
 he has also

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.980
 prepared for him

00:27:29.980 --> 00:27:30.579
 his deadly

00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:31.180
 weapons

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:32.579
 instruments

00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:33.420
 of death

00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:35.200
 he has

00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:35.700
 ordained

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.400
 his arrows

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:37.340
 with fiery

00:27:37.340 --> 00:27:38.340
 shafts

00:27:38.340 --> 00:27:38.779
 against

00:27:38.779 --> 00:27:39.420
 his

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:40.259
 persecutors

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:44.000
 that's the

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:44.620
 fortress of

00:27:44.620 --> 00:27:44.920
 God

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.460
 that's how

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:47.259
 David describes

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:47.960
 God going

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.620
 to war

00:27:48.620 --> 00:27:49.480
 against the

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.279
 unrepentant

00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:52.759
 now the

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.500
 the difficulty

00:27:53.500 --> 00:27:54.019
 here is

00:27:54.019 --> 00:27:55.240
 what does

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:55.720
 it say about

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.180
 the nature

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:56.700
 of God

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:57.539
 God is

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:58.019
 angry

00:27:58.019 --> 00:27:58.700
 every day

00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:03.059
 is God

00:28:03.059 --> 00:28:03.700
 fighting an

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:04.299
 offensive

00:28:04.299 --> 00:28:05.000
 aggressive

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:05.440
 war

00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:05.920
 or is

00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:06.200
 God

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.940
 defensive

00:28:06.940 --> 00:28:08.019
 is God

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:08.840
 is God

00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:09.180
 the one

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:10.100
 from his

00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:10.460
 fortress

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:11.360
 defending his

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:11.680
 people

00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:13.220
 I think

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:13.559
 this is

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:14.019
 answered in

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.500
 verse 6

00:28:14.500 --> 00:28:14.759
 would you

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.100
 look there

00:28:15.100 --> 00:28:15.960
 with me

00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.640
 see David

00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:20.299
 appeals to

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:20.680
 God

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:22.700
 to rise

00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:23.039
 up

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:24.059
 because

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:24.920
 of the

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:25.360
 rage

00:28:25.360 --> 00:28:25.799
 of the

00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:26.059
 wicked

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:27.640
 he says

00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:28.059
 rise up

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:28.659
 against

00:28:28.659 --> 00:28:29.539
 the fury

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:29.940
 of mine

00:28:29.940 --> 00:28:30.379
 enemies

00:28:30.379 --> 00:28:31.539
 so the

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:31.879
 enemies

00:28:31.879 --> 00:28:32.200
 are the

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.500
 ones

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:32.879
 that are

00:28:32.879 --> 00:28:33.460
 aggressing

00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:34.399
 and he's

00:28:34.399 --> 00:28:34.779
 calling on

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:35.019
 God

00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:35.740
 to defend

00:28:35.740 --> 00:28:36.159
 we found

00:28:36.159 --> 00:28:36.779
 refuge in

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:37.039
 you and

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.179
 your

00:28:37.179 --> 00:28:37.659
 fortress

00:28:37.659 --> 00:28:38.440
 mount

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:38.759
 those

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:39.139
 walls

00:28:39.139 --> 00:28:39.819
 fire

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:40.200
 back

00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:40.519
 at the

00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:40.859
 enemy

00:28:40.859 --> 00:28:41.679
 who's

00:28:41.679 --> 00:28:42.119
 raging

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:42.559
 against

00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:42.839
 you

00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:43.779
 this

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:44.119
 reminds

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:44.299
 me

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.440
 of

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.720
 Psalm

00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:45.039
 2

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:46.359
 remember

00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:46.579
 it's

00:28:46.579 --> 00:28:46.759
 the

00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:47.119
 nations

00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:47.339
 that

00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:47.720
 rage

00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:48.000
 against

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:48.240
 the

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:48.480
 Lord

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:48.639
 and

00:28:48.639 --> 00:28:48.819
 his

00:28:48.819 --> 00:28:49.279
 anointed

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:50.440
 and

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:50.559
 the

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:50.740
 king

00:28:50.740 --> 00:28:51.079
 sits

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:51.220
 on

00:28:51.220 --> 00:28:51.460
 his

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:52.099
 heavenly

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.779
 kingdom

00:28:52.779 --> 00:28:53.119
 and he

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:53.619
 laughs

00:28:53.619 --> 00:28:57.179
 what about

00:28:57.179 --> 00:28:57.379
 that

00:28:57.379 --> 00:28:57.740
 difficult

00:28:57.740 --> 00:28:58.140
 phrases

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:58.500
 says

00:28:58.500 --> 00:28:59.259
 every day

00:28:59.259 --> 00:28:59.859
 God's

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:00.200
 anger

00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:00.680
 is against

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:00.900
 the

00:29:00.900 --> 00:29:01.160
 wicked

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.740
 every day

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:05.799
 that man

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:06.259
 rages

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.700
 against

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:07.160
 God

00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:08.180
 God's

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.819
 justice

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:09.740
 takes up

00:29:09.740 --> 00:29:10.279
 arms

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:11.220
 to defend

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.579
 his

00:29:11.579 --> 00:29:11.960
 kingdom

00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:13.220
 so it's

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.960
 the foolish

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.480
 nations

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:14.900
 raging

00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:15.240
 against

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:15.539
 God

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:15.859
 and it's

00:29:15.859 --> 00:29:16.160
 God

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:17.019
 protecting

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.339
 those

00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:17.700
 inside

00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:17.960
 of his

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:18.319
 fortress

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:18.599
 it's

00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:18.740
 a

00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:19.180
 defensive

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:19.660
 battle

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:21.079
 and

00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:21.579
 every day

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:21.920
 that man

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:22.420
 rebels

00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:22.980
 and rages

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:23.359
 against

00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:23.660
 God

00:29:23.660 --> 00:29:24.140
 on high

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:25.059
 God's

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.660
 wrath

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:26.220
 goes

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.560
 back

00:29:26.560 --> 00:29:26.880
 against

00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:27.040
 them

00:29:27.040 --> 00:29:27.340
 because

00:29:27.340 --> 00:29:27.660
 God

00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:27.960
 is

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:28.540
 just

00:29:28.540 --> 00:29:31.019
 do you

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.220
 remember

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:31.700
 last week

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:32.100
 I mentioned

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:32.560
 how John

00:29:32.560 --> 00:29:32.920
 Calvin

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.380
 prayed

00:29:33.380 --> 00:29:34.200
 how long

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.600
 oh Lord

00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:35.320
 so often

00:29:35.320 --> 00:29:35.880
 sometimes

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:36.240
 that was

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:36.640
 all he

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:36.840
 could

00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:37.120
 pray

00:29:37.120 --> 00:29:39.160
 this verse

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.540
 also

00:29:39.540 --> 00:29:40.080
 gives

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:40.440
 comfort

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:40.759
 that

00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:41.460
 how

00:29:41.460 --> 00:29:42.060
 how long

00:29:42.060 --> 00:29:42.420
 oh Lord

00:29:42.420 --> 00:29:42.680
 well

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.600
 every day

00:29:43.600 --> 00:29:43.860
 God

00:29:43.860 --> 00:29:44.180
 is

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:44.620
 defending

00:29:44.620 --> 00:29:44.800
 you

00:29:44.800 --> 00:29:45.360
 every day

00:29:45.360 --> 00:29:45.640
 God

00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:45.820
 is

00:29:45.820 --> 00:29:46.200
 firing

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.680
 back

00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:47.279
 at

00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:47.440
 the

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:47.779
 enemy

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:48.980
 God

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:49.200
 is

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:49.400
 your

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:50.060
 strong

00:29:50.060 --> 00:29:50.540
 fortress

00:29:50.540 --> 00:29:50.940
 and it's

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:51.320
 futile

00:29:51.320 --> 00:29:51.840
 to rage

00:29:51.840 --> 00:29:52.240
 against

00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:52.759
 his

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.180
 kingdom

00:29:53.180 --> 00:29:54.259
 Calvin

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:54.820
 commented

00:29:54.820 --> 00:29:55.799
 every day

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.240
 it may

00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:56.740
 be asked

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.240
 why God

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.759
 frequently

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.320
 delays

00:29:58.320 --> 00:29:58.900
 his punishment

00:29:58.900 --> 00:29:59.400
 of evil

00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:00.400
 but the

00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:00.660
 scripture

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:01.200
 certainly

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.799
 celebrates

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.180
 God's

00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:02.600
 patience

00:30:02.600 --> 00:30:03.420
 this is

00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:03.860
 not to

00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:04.039
 say

00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:04.380
 that a

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:04.640
 day

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:05.420
 passes

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:06.360
 when God

00:30:06.360 --> 00:30:07.240
 relaxes

00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:08.240
 his bow

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:09.019
 against

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.560
 man's

00:30:09.560 --> 00:30:09.799
 sin

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:11.180
 Christ

00:30:11.180 --> 00:30:11.759
 never

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:12.240
 ceases

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:13.400
 to execute

00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:14.279
 his office

00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:15.019
 of judge

00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:15.680
 so

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:16.279
 Calvin

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:16.560
 wrote

00:30:16.560 --> 00:30:17.320
 never think

00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:17.640
 of the

00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:18.039
 patience

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:18.580
 of God

00:30:18.580 --> 00:30:19.440
 as his

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:19.960
 approval

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:21.100
 of evil

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:23.679
 in verse

00:30:23.679 --> 00:30:24.139
 11

00:30:24.139 --> 00:30:25.459
 David

00:30:25.459 --> 00:30:25.799
 says

00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:26.139
 God

00:30:26.139 --> 00:30:26.539
 is

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:26.759
 the

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.359
 righteous

00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:28.339
 judge

00:30:31.719 --> 00:30:32.119
 repent

00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:32.959
 then

00:30:32.959 --> 00:30:33.579
 God

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:34.219
 sharpens

 his

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:35.179
 sword

 being

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:46.399
 sharpened

00:30:46.399 --> 00:30:48.179
 it's

00:30:48.179 --> 00:30:48.339
 like

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:48.779
 God's

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:49.099
 spiritual

00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:49.519
 forces

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:49.779
 have

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:50.139
 dipped

00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:50.439
 the

 it

00:30:52.779 --> 00:30:52.900

 torch

00:30:53.420 --> 00:30:53.859
 and

 that

00:30:54.059 --> 00:30:54.319
 bow

00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:55.200
 back

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:55.700
 it's

00:30:55.700 --> 00:30:55.920
 ready

00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:56.140
 to

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:56.319
 be

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:57.200
 released

00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.500
 in

00:30:58.619 --> 00:30:58.940
 people

00:30:58.940 --> 00:30:59.119
 who

00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.339
 take

00:30:59.339 --> 00:30:59.819
 refuge

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.379
 in

00:31:00.379 --> 00:31:00.720
 him

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:02.000
 if

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:02.119
 you

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:02.359
 do

00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:02.559
 not

00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:02.819
 take

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:03.160
 refuge

00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:03.379
 in

00:31:03.379 --> 00:31:03.619
 Christ

00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:03.859
 you

00:31:03.859 --> 00:31:04.019
 are

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:04.460
 joining

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:04.839
 those

00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:05.779
 ranks

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:06.119
 of

00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:06.539
 demons

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.000
 who

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.420
 rage

00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:07.839
 against

 the

 high

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:08.599
 king

 of

00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:09.079
 heaven

00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:09.960
 and

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:10.180
 it's

00:31:10.180 --> 00:31:10.599
 futile

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:13.220
 and

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:13.420
 that's

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:13.519
 why

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:13.900
 we can

00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:14.420
 do

00:31:14.420 --> 00:31:14.619
 what

00:31:14.619 --> 00:31:14.779
 we're

00:31:14.779 --> 00:31:14.980
 told

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.160
 in

00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:15.400
 1st

00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:15.920
 Thessalonians

00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:16.440
 3

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.859
 things

00:31:21.859 --> 00:31:23.319
 do

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:23.559
 not

00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:23.900
 remain

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:24.379
 proud

00:31:24.379 --> 00:31:25.140
 in

00:31:25.140 --> 00:31:25.279
 our

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:25.500
 pride

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:26.119
 we're

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:27.079
 raging

00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:27.480
 against

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:27.859
 God

00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:30.240
 instead

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.640
 we need

00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:30.839
 to

00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:31.379
 run

00:31:31.379 --> 00:31:31.980
 inside

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:32.259
 his

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.980
 unshakable

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:33.619
 fortress

00:31:33.619 --> 00:31:34.900
 we need

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:35.339
 to trust

00:31:35.339 --> 00:31:35.799
 that he

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:36.240
 has

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:36.980
 all the

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:37.379
 weapons

00:31:37.379 --> 00:31:37.700
 needed

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:37.920
 to

00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:38.240
 protect

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.700
 us

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:39.480
 and

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:39.599
 it

00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:39.779
 is

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:40.140
 futile

00:31:40.140 --> 00:31:40.339
 for

00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:40.500
 the

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:40.759
 enemy

00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:41.259
 to

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:41.440
 try

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:41.599
 to

 touch

00:31:41.859 --> 00:31:42.220
 even

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.460
 a

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:42.720
 single

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:43.140
 soul

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:43.799
 that

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:43.980
 is

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.279
 hidden

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:44.819
 in

00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:45.099
 Jesus

00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:45.660
 Christ

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:47.119
 your

00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:47.440
 soul

00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:47.920
 needs

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.539
 a

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:49.019
 refuge

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.420
 and

00:31:49.420 --> 00:31:49.519
 you

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:49.720
 need

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:49.879
 to

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:50.059
 find

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:50.259
 that

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:50.680
 refuge

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.000
 in

00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.440
 Christ

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.880
 well

00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:54.100
 here's

00:31:54.100 --> 00:31:54.240
 our

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.620
 fifth

00:31:54.620 --> 00:31:55.880
 theological

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.420
 insight

00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:58.519
 you

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.779
 also

00:31:58.779 --> 00:31:59.019
 need

00:31:59.019 --> 00:31:59.340
 refuge

00:31:59.340 --> 00:31:59.580
 from

00:31:59.580 --> 00:32:00.100
 yourself

00:32:00.100 --> 00:32:02.480
 David

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:03.140
 says

00:32:03.140 --> 00:32:03.320
 in

00:32:03.320 --> 00:32:03.519
 verses

00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:04.000
 14

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:04.200
 through

00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:04.600
 16

00:32:04.600 --> 00:32:04.940
 that

00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:05.900
 there

00:32:05.900 --> 00:32:06.060
 is

00:32:06.060 --> 00:32:06.240
 so

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:06.440
 much

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:06.900
 evil

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:07.580
 remaining

00:32:07.580 --> 00:32:08.039
 inside

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:08.220
 of

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.519
 us

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:10.080
 that

00:32:10.080 --> 00:32:10.340
 no

00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:10.480
 one

00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:10.680
 can

00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:10.920
 really

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:11.480
 dispute

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:11.799
 that

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.120
 the

00:32:12.120 --> 00:32:12.380
 fact

00:32:12.380 --> 00:32:12.560
 that

00:32:12.560 --> 00:32:12.740
 you

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:12.960
 need

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:13.460
 refuge

00:32:13.460 --> 00:32:13.759
 from

 the

00:32:14.220 --> 00:32:14.500
 own

00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:14.900
 evil

00:32:14.900 --> 00:32:15.140
 that

00:32:15.140 --> 00:32:15.620
 remains

00:32:15.620 --> 00:32:16.060
 inside

00:32:16.060 --> 00:32:16.240
 of

00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:16.519
 you

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.220
 the

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:19.500
 devil

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:19.720
 is

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.120
 bent

00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:20.479
 on

00:32:20.479 --> 00:32:21.299
 tempting

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:21.519
 and

00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:22.019
 flaming

00:32:22.019 --> 00:32:22.319
 up

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:22.859
 the

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:23.219
 remaining

00:32:23.219 --> 00:32:23.519
 sin

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:23.659
 of

00:32:23.659 --> 00:32:23.799
 the

 flesh

00:32:24.099 --> 00:32:24.319
 while

 we're

00:42:17.980 --> 00:42:19.339
 I will praise

00:42:19.339 --> 00:42:19.859
 the one

00:42:19.859 --> 00:42:20.359
 who died

00:42:20.359 --> 00:42:20.879
 for me

00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:21.579
 our

00:42:21.579 --> 00:42:22.059
 shelter

00:42:22.059 --> 00:42:22.640
 our

00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:23.099
 shield

00:42:23.099 --> 00:42:23.599
 our

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.240
 fortress

00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:24.900
 the

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:25.180
 God

00:42:25.180 --> 00:42:25.660
 of heaven

00:42:25.660 --> 00:42:26.119
 the

00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:26.460
 most

00:42:26.460 --> 00:42:26.800
 high

00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:27.200
 king

00:42:27.200 --> 00:42:28.400
 our

00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:28.740
 Lord

00:42:28.740 --> 00:42:29.059
 Jesus

00:42:29.059 --> 00:42:29.700
 Christ

00:42:29.700 --> 00:42:30.840
 amen

00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:32.150
