00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.960
 Garrick, thank you for reading God's word.

00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.799
 I'm not sure if you all noticed this, but when Garrick was reading,

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:10.939
 there was a particular word that got repeated in verse 2 and verse 6.

00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:12.259
 It was the word shaken.

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:14.140
 Shaken.

00:00:15.099 --> 00:00:19.000
 And I'm guessing this week you had your world shaken.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:28.280
 And I don't know what on the Richter scale of shaking with which you were shook,

00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:33.200
 but I'm guessing you got your world shaken.

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:36.480
 Maybe this is what it looked like.

00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:41.340
 Something happens and you got really angry.

00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:42.719
 You vented.

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:44.280
 You felt out of control.

00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:46.159
 You felt disrespected.

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.980
 You lost your patience and you blew up.

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:52.659
 You were shaken.

00:00:52.659 --> 00:00:58.539
 Or maybe you binged this week sometime.

00:00:59.779 --> 00:01:03.519
 Eight hour straight of Netflix binge watching.

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.519
 $800 spent on your credit card.

00:01:08.259 --> 00:01:09.179
 Binge buying.

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.699
 8,000 calories of a comfort food.

00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:14.979
 Binge eating.

00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.799
 And the question becomes, what started it all?

00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:19.439
 Why the binging?

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:22.620
 Chances are you got your world shaken.

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.500
 Or maybe you were lying in bed sometime this week, unable to sleep,

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:35.719
 and you were lying at 2 a.m. in that isolating silence of the wee hours of the morning.

00:01:36.039 --> 00:01:39.599
 And you were lying in bed because you were anxious about something.

00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:41.560
 You were replaying something in your head.

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.000
 You were trying to figure something out.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.780
 You were afraid of some unknown or something that has happened to you.

00:01:46.780 --> 00:01:48.219
 You got shook.

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:51.840
 And it's showing up in the middle of the night.

00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:59.320
 We all experience varying degrees of the seismic activity of being shaken.

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:01.879
 And we need help.

00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:04.980
 We need help when our lives get shaken, don't we?

00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:10.360
 And Psalm 62 is good news for those souls who are being shaken.

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:16.900
 And so if you've come into the sanctuary this morning and you're like, I know what it means to be shaken,

00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:19.460
 Psalm 62 is God's kindness to you.

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:21.280
 Here, let me sum it up by saying this.

00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:23.240
 This is the summary of Psalm 62.

00:02:23.900 --> 00:02:30.440
 When you, when your life is being shaken and you're feeling all alone and all out of control,

00:02:30.980 --> 00:02:34.840
 you must learn to trust in God alone.

00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.140
 When you're feeling all alone because you're getting your world rocked,

00:02:39.700 --> 00:02:43.140
 you must learn to trust in God alone.

00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.379
 And so in Psalm 62, there is this process.

00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:50.120
 It's going to look like this.

00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:51.580
 I'm going to draw it out a little bit later.

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.599
 It's, you're going to be shaken and then you're going to need to surrender

00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.060
 and then you're going to find God as your shelter

00:02:58.060 --> 00:03:00.480
 and then you're going to experience shalom.

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.459
 You're going to move from being shaken to having to surrender,

00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.579
 finding God as your shelter and then experiencing shalom.

00:03:10.539 --> 00:03:15.519
 But before we get to that, I just want to give you a brief overview of Psalm 62

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:20.459
 and then we'll get into that process and bring it to bear on our lives.

00:03:22.579 --> 00:03:25.939
 When your life is being shaken and you're feeling alone and out of control,

00:03:26.079 --> 00:03:28.319
 you must learn how to trust in God alone.

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.419
 So let me give you a quick overview of Psalm 62.

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:37.400
 We learn in Psalm 62 in the very heading that this is a psalm of David, the king,

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.180
 which is a high position among God's people in Israel.

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.539
 And then this was written to the choir master.

00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.879
 It's according to Jaduthin.

00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:52.340
 Most likely it was some kind of melody.

00:03:52.340 --> 00:03:55.759
 And so David's writing this psalm and he's saying,

00:03:56.060 --> 00:03:59.480
 Hey, choir master, put this to that music.

00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:04.020
 It'd be like putting Psalm 62, me saying to Kevin,

00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:09.020
 Hey, Kevin, let's put Psalm 62 to the tune of Amazing Grace.

00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:13.219
 For God alone my soul silently waits.

00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:14.460
 We can do it.

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:21.120
 And the reason why it's to be put to music is because it's to be internalized

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:28.960
 and called out in singing to give our emotions an opportunity to call out to God.

00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:34.079
 So this is a psalm by David meant to be sung.

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.199
 And there are two sections.

00:04:37.239 --> 00:04:42.680
 Verses 1 through 7, we see David personally responding to something that has shaken his world.

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:44.759
 And you see what that is in verses 3 and 4.

00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.620
 How long will all of you attack a man to batter him like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.799
 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.

00:04:53.599 --> 00:04:55.000
 They take pleasure in falsehood.

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:57.199
 They bless with their mouths, but inwardly they curse.

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.560
 And what's going on here is there's a group of people that are seeking to verbally attack King David

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.399
 and undermine him and unseat him.

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:06.599
 Was it Absalom?

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:08.680
 Well, we're not told here.

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:09.399
 We're just guessing.

00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:12.360
 But he's definitely having his world rocked.

00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:14.779
 He's definitely being shaken.

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:19.719
 But what's interesting is what happens before and after.

00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:23.719
 In verses 1 and 2, you see David say,

00:05:23.719 --> 00:05:25.779
 For God alone my soul waits in silence.

00:05:25.779 --> 00:05:27.559
 From him comes my salvation.

00:05:27.719 --> 00:05:29.000
 And look at verse 5.

00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:31.219
 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence.

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:33.639
 For my hope, my salvation is from him.

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:34.979
 And then in verse 2,

00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.879
 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

00:05:37.979 --> 00:05:39.199
 I shall not be greatly shaken.

00:05:39.299 --> 00:05:40.000
 And then verse 6,

00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:42.459
 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

00:05:42.559 --> 00:05:43.799
 I shall not be shaken, period.

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:50.259
 And so what we see David doing, when there is his life being shaken,

00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:53.579
 He surrenders himself to the Lord.

00:05:55.780 --> 00:05:58.060
 For God alone my soul waits in silence.

00:05:58.060 --> 00:06:03.019
 We see that both in verse 1 and verse 5.

00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:05.720
 That silence I'll come back to in a little bit.

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.280
 But in both verse 2 and verse 6,

00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:13.759
 He's talking about God as my rock and my salvation, my fortress.

00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:19.319
 What we see happening here is David surrendering himself to God

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.839
 in order to surround this thing that is shaking his life.

00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:29.839
 And then in verse 7, there is this summary declaration.

00:06:30.339 --> 00:06:35.319
 On God rests my salvation and my glory, my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

00:06:36.039 --> 00:06:37.920
 My, my, my, my, my, my.

00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:39.539
 My God.

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:39.620
 God.

00:06:40.700 --> 00:06:47.939
 He's gotten to a point here while he's now settled on the unshakable God he knows.

00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:53.960
 And out of that comes this refrain,

00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.340
 I shall not be shaken.

00:06:56.900 --> 00:06:58.720
 That's a picture of shalom, peace.

00:07:00.220 --> 00:07:02.020
 So in verses 1 through 7,

00:07:03.320 --> 00:07:05.640
 David, being shaken,

00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.659
 surrenders himself in order to purposely surround his enemies

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:16.240
 with the unshakable truths of who God is,

00:07:16.599 --> 00:07:17.519
 his shelter.

00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:19.719
 And as a result,

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:22.259
 he experiences shalom.

00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:24.159
 But it doesn't end there

00:07:24.159 --> 00:07:27.099
 because we got verses 8 through 12 in Psalm 62.

00:07:27.719 --> 00:07:31.979
 So David turns from calling on God his refuge

00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:34.939
 now to calling the people of God

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:37.379
 to God their refuge.

00:07:40.780 --> 00:07:41.939
 He says in verse 8,

00:07:42.020 --> 00:07:44.420
 Trust in him at all times, O people.

00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:46.400
 Pour out your heart before him.

00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:48.240
 God is a refuge for us.

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.280
 You see that in verse 7?

00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:50.700
 My refuge is God.

00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:51.780
 First end of verse 8,

00:07:51.900 --> 00:07:53.379
 God is a refuge for us.

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.319
 He wants all of God's people

00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.000
 to experience God as his refuge.

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:02.139
 God wants all of us to experience him as our refuge.

00:08:03.939 --> 00:08:06.120
 But what's interesting then is where he goes.

00:08:06.220 --> 00:08:06.939
 In verse 9,

00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:09.560
 David says to God's people,

00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.720
 Hey, don't find shelter in status.

00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:17.540
 Whether you're of low estate or high estate,

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:18.800
 it's not going to matter.

00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:20.279
 Shelter's not there.

00:08:20.459 --> 00:08:21.420
 You can't find peace there.

00:08:22.540 --> 00:08:23.579
 And then in verse 10,

00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:24.180
 he says,

00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:26.620
 Hey, don't look for shelter in extortion,

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:27.699
 manipulating people.

00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:30.379
 Don't look for shelter in robbing people,

00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:32.879
 gaining ill means.

00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.059
 And don't find shelter in increased riches.

00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:39.720
 Money's not going to give you safety and shelter.

00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.220
 Money's not the source of shalom.

00:08:42.819 --> 00:08:44.179
 Don't find shelter there.

00:08:44.819 --> 00:08:46.600
 And then he lands it in 11 and 12.

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:48.799
 Once God has spoken,

00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.159
 twice I've heard this.

00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.519
 And he points to three things.

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:55.120
 Power belongs to God.

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:55.600
 God,

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:56.299
 that to you,

00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:56.620
 O Lord,

00:08:56.700 --> 00:08:57.879
 belongs steadfast love.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.460
 For you will render to a man according to his work.

00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:03.560
 He reminds us of God's unlimited power,

00:09:03.659 --> 00:09:04.740
 his unrelenting love,

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:07.639
 and his unrivaled sovereignty.

00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.759
 So there's a thumbnail sketch of Psalm 62.

00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:17.139
 And the whole purpose of it is to help us understand that when we're shaken,

00:09:18.580 --> 00:09:20.699
 when we're feeling all alone in the shake,

00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.179
 feeling out of control,

00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:26.759
 we must learn to trust in God alone.

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:32.240
 For the rest of the time now,

00:09:32.299 --> 00:09:38.980
 I want to help you learn the process of waiting on the Lord

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:43.159
 when your world is being shaken.

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.080
 Four steps.

00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.480
 You must recognize when you're being shaken.

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:49.879
 Second,

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:51.600
 Second,

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:54.840
 you must surrender control to God.

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:56.360
 Third,

00:09:56.920 --> 00:10:01.039
 you must rest in God as your shelter.

00:10:02.180 --> 00:10:03.039
 And then fourth,

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:06.460
 delight in the shalom.

00:10:08.379 --> 00:10:09.980
 When your world is being shaken,

00:10:10.100 --> 00:10:12.399
 you're feeling all alone and all out of control,

00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.000
 you must learn to trust in God alone.

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.500
 So let's spend the rest of our time bringing this home.

00:10:21.460 --> 00:10:25.500
 The first step in this process of learning to wait on the Lord

00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:29.139
 is recognizing when you're being shaken.

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.539
 For David to say in verse 2,

00:10:34.059 --> 00:10:35.559
 I will not be greatly shaken.

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.159
 And then in verse 6,

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.539
 I shall not be shaken, period.

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:40.779
 You know what that means?

00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:43.860
 He was being shaken.

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.960
 He was getting his world rocked.

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.899
 And like I just said minutes ago,

00:10:51.059 --> 00:10:52.559
 we know what it was.

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:55.139
 There was a group of people

00:10:55.139 --> 00:10:58.080
 who were seeking to verbally assault David

00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.460
 and undermine him

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:01.960
 and unseat him from his high position.

00:11:07.860 --> 00:11:08.879
 And so,

00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.159
 what we're recognizing there

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.700
 is David being shaken.

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:16.080
 But that's not the only way

00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.800
 that God's people get shaken, is it?

00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:22.600
 Verbal assaults,

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:23.600
 seeking to undermine,

00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:25.500
 that's not the only way people

00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:28.140
 will experience being shaken.

00:11:29.020 --> 00:11:31.100
 I find it interesting that in verse 8,

00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:34.680
 David's call to all the peoples

00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:37.580
 is to trust in God at all times.

00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:38.680
 Because

00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:40.720
 being shaken

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.220
 shaken comes at any time.

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.860
 My sister lives in L.A.

00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:48.259
 Recently,

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:49.920
 there was a couple earthquakes out there.

00:11:50.060 --> 00:11:50.300
 And so,

00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:51.879
 what you need to realize,

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:53.100
 if you're living in L.A.,

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:55.100
 it's not a matter of if

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.100
 when you're going to get shaken,

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:57.420
 it's a matter of when

00:11:57.420 --> 00:11:58.420
 you're going to get shaken,

00:11:58.420 --> 00:11:59.960
 because you're living so close

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:01.360
 to the San Andreas Fault.

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.639
 If you're living close

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.159
 to a fault line,

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:08.419
 it's just a matter of time

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:09.460
 before you get shaken.

00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:14.800
 We're all living close

00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:15.580
 to fault lines.

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:19.240
 Fault line of relationships.

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.580
 Unpredictable shaking can occur,

00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:26.060
 whether that's in your marriage,

00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:28.459
 or in your parenting,

00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:31.939
 or caring for your older parents,

00:12:32.699 --> 00:12:34.079
 in a working relationship

00:12:34.079 --> 00:12:35.059
 with your neighbors.

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:37.959
 It's a fault line that can shake us,

00:12:37.979 --> 00:12:38.319
 isn't it?

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.199
 Your health.

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.699
 It's like a fault line.

00:12:45.079 --> 00:12:47.399
 You get an unwelcome diagnosis.

00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:50.419
 That'll shake your world.

00:12:53.199 --> 00:12:55.039
 Employment changes suddenly.

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:57.259
 That's a shake-up.

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:01.899
 Sudden loss of finances.

00:13:04.479 --> 00:13:06.399
 That shows up on the Richter scale.

00:13:08.319 --> 00:13:09.919
 Questions about your future.

00:13:10.819 --> 00:13:11.579
 Unknowns.

00:13:12.419 --> 00:13:13.479
 What's going to happen?

00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:15.639
 That can shake you.

00:13:19.119 --> 00:13:20.879
 These areas represent

00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.359
 different fault lines

00:13:22.359 --> 00:13:25.339
 that range with different degrees

00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:27.180
 of seismic activity

00:13:27.180 --> 00:13:29.320
 because of its unpredictability.

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:31.980
 So let me ask you, my friends,

00:13:32.100 --> 00:13:34.639
 what do you do

00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.759
 when your world gets shaken?

00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:40.920
 Where do you go?

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.000
 What do you look to?

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.960
 Do you get angry

00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.480
 because you feel out of control

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:50.539
 and you want to attack?

00:13:52.299 --> 00:13:53.639
 Do you withdraw?

00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:55.720
 You want to hide,

00:13:55.980 --> 00:13:56.940
 and so you binge.

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:59.200
 You don't lean on

00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.179
 God's understanding.

00:14:02.139 --> 00:14:03.480
 You're leaning on your own.

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:08.779
 brothers and sisters,

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.360
 where are you being shaken today?

00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:15.960
 Where is it?

00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.100
 And how are you responding?

00:14:20.900 --> 00:14:22.300
 The first step

00:14:22.300 --> 00:14:24.580
 in learning to wait on the Lord

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:27.280
 in the midst of seismic activity

00:14:27.280 --> 00:14:29.639
 is to recognize

00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.940
 that you're actually being shaken.

00:14:31.940 --> 00:14:36.520
 The second step

00:14:36.520 --> 00:14:39.440
 is surrender.

00:14:40.900 --> 00:14:42.760
 To surrender control

00:14:42.760 --> 00:14:44.300
 of your life to God

00:14:44.300 --> 00:14:46.060
 when your world

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:47.480
 is being shaken.

00:14:48.280 --> 00:14:50.920
 This is not as easy

00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:52.500
 as it sounds

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:56.940
 because what's at stake

00:14:56.940 --> 00:14:59.380
 is your well-being.

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:02.580
 What's at stake

00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:05.820
 is who controls your life.

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:08.080
 So in order for you

00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.519
 to surrender to God,

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:11.399
 you've got to die to yourself.

00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:19.460
 Kyle quoted Jeremiah 17, 7 and 8.

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.720
 17, 7 says,

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.700
 Blessed is the man

00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:23.700
 whose trust is the Lord,

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:24.960
 whose trust is the Lord.

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:27.480
 17, 5 says,

00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:28.500
 Cursed is the man

00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:29.320
 who trusts the man

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.600
 who makes flesh his strength.

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:36.260
 When we get shook,

00:15:37.020 --> 00:15:39.980
 it exposes our hearts.

00:15:41.540 --> 00:15:43.000
 It exposes

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.180
 what we trust in.

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.820
 And if you're anything like me,

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:50.540
 when I get shaken,

00:15:51.280 --> 00:15:53.340
 my first instinct

00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:55.600
 is to trust in myself.

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.480
 I want to figure it out.

00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.159
 I want to fix it.

00:16:02.040 --> 00:16:03.259
 I want to control it.

00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:04.740
 I want to define it.

00:16:05.040 --> 00:16:06.060
 I want to plan it.

00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:07.899
 And if it's not working out,

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:09.500
 I'm going to blame others.

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.560
 I'm going to want to hide.

00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:12.519
 I'm going to want to throw

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:13.279
 a pity party.

00:16:13.659 --> 00:16:14.580
 All of this

00:16:14.580 --> 00:16:16.960
 is a way of exposing,

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.139
 trusting in yourself.

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:23.360
 But that's not how David

00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:24.659
 responds in this song.

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:27.720
 He's getting verbally assaulted,

00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:29.840
 undermined,

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.460
 people seeking to unseat him,

00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:33.699
 and he doesn't turn to himself.

00:16:35.699 --> 00:16:37.220
 He trusts God.

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.199
 He surrenders himself

00:16:39.199 --> 00:16:40.319
 to the Lord.

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.480
 Look at verse 1.

00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.559
 For God alone,

00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:43.740
 my soul waits in silence.

00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:45.720
 He's trusting God.

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:48.299
 Verse 5.

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:49.159
 For God alone,

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:50.000
 oh my soul,

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.799
 wait in silence.

00:16:51.180 --> 00:16:52.000
 There's a difference

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.500
 between verse 1 and verse 5.

00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:55.200
 Verse 1 is descriptive.

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:55.899
 For God alone,

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.220
 my soul waits in silence.

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:58.360
 And then in verse 5,

00:16:58.700 --> 00:16:59.440
 for God alone,

00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:01.680
 speaking to his soul,

00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:02.919
 for God alone,

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:03.919
 oh my soul,

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:04.940
 command,

00:17:05.500 --> 00:17:07.039
 wait in silence.

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.220
 Wait on him.

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:14.140
 When David is shaken,

00:17:16.180 --> 00:17:16.740
 here,

00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:19.380
 he does not turn to himself.

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.759
 He waits on God.

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:24.360
 And that means he must

00:17:24.360 --> 00:17:26.940
 surrender himself to God.

00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:29.039
 And it's not as easy

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:30.220
 as it sounds

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:32.019
 because you've got to die

00:17:32.019 --> 00:17:32.860
 to yourself

00:17:32.860 --> 00:17:34.319
 and you controlling

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:35.140
 your own life.

00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:40.280
 Did you notice

00:17:40.280 --> 00:17:41.620
 there's this waiting

00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:42.620
 in silence?

00:17:44.020 --> 00:17:45.220
 What does that mean?

00:17:45.540 --> 00:17:46.080
 For God alone,

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.580
 my soul waits in silence.

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:48.560
 What does that mean

00:17:48.560 --> 00:17:49.980
 to surrender this way?

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:52.100
 To wait in silence?

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:55.740
 Is there,

00:17:56.560 --> 00:17:57.480
 does this mean that David

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.220
 is not saying anything to God?

00:17:59.300 --> 00:18:00.020
 I don't think

00:18:00.020 --> 00:18:00.700
 that's what it means

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:01.600
 because in verse 8,

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.280
 he's going to tell

00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:03.180
 the peoples

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.920
 to pour their hearts

00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:05.799
 out to God.

00:18:05.860 --> 00:18:06.220
 In fact,

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:06.940
 what we see,

00:18:07.340 --> 00:18:08.620
 what we read in 1 and 2

00:18:08.620 --> 00:18:09.480
 and 5 and 6

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.400
 is David pouring out

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.900
 his heart to God.

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:13.640
 So I don't think

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:14.480
 this means

00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.860
 he is saying nothing

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:18.900
 as he waits.

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:21.640
 I think this silence

00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:22.980
 is more about

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:24.360
 what he is feeling.

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.039
 He's feeling isolated

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:28.759
 in the waiting.

00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:30.720
 He's feeling alone

00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.299
 as his world

00:18:32.299 --> 00:18:33.720
 gets shaken.

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:35.140
 In the midst

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:36.920
 of the seismic activity

00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.000
 of relational conflict,

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.259
 of unwanted health diagnosis,

00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:45.259
 of unanticipated job change,

00:18:45.620 --> 00:18:47.819
 of a sudden financial loss,

00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:49.839
 you can all of a sudden

00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.620
 feel the isolating silence

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:54.879
 of being all alone.

00:19:00.439 --> 00:19:01.559
 It's amazing

00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.899
 how silent

00:19:02.899 --> 00:19:04.219
 my house gets

00:19:04.219 --> 00:19:06.019
 at 2 a.m.

00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:06.500
 in the morning.

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:09.699
 I can feel all alone.

00:19:13.239 --> 00:19:15.319
 We all experience this.

00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:17.219
 Many of us

00:19:17.219 --> 00:19:18.979
 don't want to deal

00:19:18.979 --> 00:19:20.079
 with the silence

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:21.619
 and so we turn up

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:22.299
 the noise

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:24.619
 to try to distract

00:19:24.619 --> 00:19:25.399
 ourselves.

00:19:27.379 --> 00:19:28.599
 But brothers and sisters,

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.839
 God's in the silence.

00:19:31.819 --> 00:19:32.500
 He's there.

00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:33.699
 He's using the whole thing

00:19:33.699 --> 00:19:35.039
 to draw our hearts

00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.679
 to him.

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:41.599
 David commands his soul

00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:43.899
 to wait on the Lord

00:19:43.899 --> 00:19:45.079
 in silence.

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.460
 Turn to the Lord,

00:19:46.699 --> 00:19:47.099
 my soul.

00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:49.659
 Why so downcast within me?

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:52.040
 Hope in God.

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:52.560
 Now,

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.060
 despite the silence,

00:19:56.120 --> 00:19:57.019
 God's there.

00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:00.740
 Essentially,

00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:01.440
 what this is

00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:02.320
 is a surrender

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:03.720
 of one's control,

00:20:03.860 --> 00:20:05.000
 of one's life

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.240
 in the midst

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.779
 of being shaken.

00:20:08.320 --> 00:20:08.740
 Oftentimes,

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:09.960
 it's the last thing

00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:10.600
 you want to do,

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:12.860
 but it's the greatest

00:20:12.860 --> 00:20:13.660
 thing to do.

00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:17.200
 To pour out your God

00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:18.500
 in the midst

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:19.400
 of being shaken,

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:21.299
 surrendering yourself

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:22.019
 this way.

00:20:22.940 --> 00:20:23.480
 Verse 8,

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.600
 I already alluded to it.

00:20:25.100 --> 00:20:26.100
 There's another way

00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:27.259
 that we wait

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:28.259
 on the Lord.

00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:29.660
 Verse 8,

00:20:30.380 --> 00:20:31.259
 David says,

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.640
 to the peoples,

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.539
 trust in God

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:35.740
 at all times.

00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:39.299
 Pour out your hearts

00:20:39.299 --> 00:20:40.640
 to him.

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:43.480
 To pour out your heart

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:44.580
 is a picture of laying

00:20:44.580 --> 00:20:45.640
 open your soul

00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:46.200
 to God.

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:47.000
 And again,

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:48.400
 it is really uncomfortable.

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:51.640
 It is really difficult

00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:53.280
 to pour out

00:20:53.280 --> 00:20:54.640
 all that you're feeling

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:56.480
 to God

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.600
 before him.

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:00.440
 Oftentimes,

00:21:00.820 --> 00:21:01.340
 what makes this

00:21:01.340 --> 00:21:01.960
 so difficult

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.700
 is that when you're

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:04.500
 being shaken,

00:21:05.020 --> 00:21:05.840
 it stirs up

00:21:05.840 --> 00:21:07.280
 such intense emotions,

00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:09.139
 it's difficult

00:21:09.139 --> 00:21:11.359
 to unburden

00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.299
 your emotions

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:14.240
 to God.

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:14.899
 You feel out

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:15.440
 of control.

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.220
 It's not easy.

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:21.619
 A lot of us

00:21:21.619 --> 00:21:22.299
 are emotionally

00:21:22.299 --> 00:21:22.759
 unaware.

00:21:23.619 --> 00:21:24.359
 A lot of us

00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:25.000
 are emotionally

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:25.899
 constipated.

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:28.319
 A lot of us

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:29.119
 are just

00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.240
 emotionally afraid.

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:33.039
 Maybe no one

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.940
 has ever taught you

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:35.099
 or modeled to you

00:21:35.099 --> 00:21:36.039
 how to deal

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:36.839
 with your emotions

00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:37.899
 or your fears

00:21:37.899 --> 00:21:39.079
 or your anxieties,

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:40.439
 your intense feelings

00:21:40.439 --> 00:21:41.679
 in a way

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:43.179
 that is good

00:21:43.179 --> 00:21:43.799
 and right

00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:44.539
 and wise.

00:21:44.959 --> 00:21:45.679
 And here we are

00:21:45.679 --> 00:21:46.379
 being told

00:21:46.379 --> 00:21:47.000
 how to do it.

00:21:47.399 --> 00:21:49.119
 Pour out your heart

00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:50.679
 before him.

00:21:51.579 --> 00:21:52.779
 That's how we trust him.

00:21:54.039 --> 00:21:54.919
 So this is what

00:21:54.919 --> 00:21:55.679
 that looks like.

00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:57.539
 When something

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.539
 is going sideways

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.240
 in your life

00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.279
 and you're getting shaken,

00:22:00.679 --> 00:22:01.939
 a way to surrender

00:22:01.939 --> 00:22:03.059
 yourself to God

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:03.819
 is to say,

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.339
 God, I am so scared

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:05.839
 right now.

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.759
 God, I am so scared.

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:09.700
 God, I am so angry.

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:11.339
 God, I am so confused.

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:13.299
 God, I feel out of control.

00:22:14.019 --> 00:22:14.879
 These are the stuff

00:22:14.879 --> 00:22:15.679
 of laments.

00:22:17.259 --> 00:22:18.339
 You see it all

00:22:18.339 --> 00:22:19.460
 throughout the Psalms.

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.299
 This is how we surrender

00:22:25.299 --> 00:22:26.899
 to God

00:22:26.899 --> 00:22:30.179
 to lay control

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:31.580
 over to him.

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:33.500
 We do so

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:35.019
 honestly.

00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:42.320
 The first step

00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:43.580
 of waiting on the Lord

00:22:43.580 --> 00:22:44.539
 when you're in the midst

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:47.100
 of seismic activity

00:22:47.100 --> 00:22:49.259
 is to first recognize

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:50.720
 you're in seismic activity.

00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:51.980
 Your world's getting shaken.

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:54.160
 And the second step

00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:55.160
 is a hard one

00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:55.620
 because you've got to

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:56.360
 die to yourself.

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:56.860
 It means

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:58.700
 surrendering yourself

00:22:58.700 --> 00:22:59.360
 to the Lord

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:00.440
 through prayer,

00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:02.340
 pouring your heart out,

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:03.420
 waiting on him

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:04.220
 in silence.

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:08.519
 The third way,

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.059
 the third step,

00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:11.860
 after you've surrendered

00:23:11.860 --> 00:23:12.640
 yourself

00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:14.039
 to God

00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.980
 is to rest

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:16.980
 in God,

00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.140
 to trust

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:19.460
 in him,

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:20.860
 to

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:23.980
 come

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:24.900
 under

00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:25.640
 him.

00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.420
 when you get shaken

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:30.140
 and you're all alone

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:31.720
 and you feel out of control,

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:33.200
 you must learn

00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:35.140
 how to trust

00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:36.220
 in God

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.880
 alone.

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.480
 Not just to recognize it,

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.580
 not just to surrender

00:23:39.580 --> 00:23:40.060
 yourself,

00:23:40.420 --> 00:23:41.580
 but to actively

00:23:41.580 --> 00:23:42.580
 trust

00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:43.380
 to rest

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:43.880
 in God.

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.759
 Did you notice

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:45.580
 all the descriptions

00:23:45.580 --> 00:23:46.080
 of God

00:23:46.080 --> 00:23:46.620
 in this Psalm?

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:47.400
 I love it.

00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:48.940
 He says my salvation

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:49.940
 four times.

00:23:50.520 --> 00:23:51.500
 He's basically saying,

00:23:51.580 --> 00:23:51.820
 God,

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.259
 you are my 911.

00:23:53.259 --> 00:23:56.500
 rescue me.

00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:59.019
 Come to my aid.

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:00.559
 You're my hope.

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:03.140
 He says twice

00:24:03.140 --> 00:24:05.160
 in verse 2 and 6,

00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:06.920
 my rock,

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:08.259
 verse 7,

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:09.559
 my mighty rock.

00:24:09.859 --> 00:24:10.680
 If you look over

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.299
 to 61,

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:11.819
 2,

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:13.160
 you see another reference.

00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:14.460
 Lead me to the rock

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:15.779
 that is higher than I,

00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:17.519
 for you've been my refuge,

00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:18.480
 a strong tower

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.400
 against the enemy.

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:20.500
 It's a picture

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:21.560
 of safety,

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:23.000
 of shelter.

00:24:24.320 --> 00:24:25.540
 If you've been

00:24:25.540 --> 00:24:27.140
 down to the marina

00:24:27.140 --> 00:24:28.259
 on a windy day

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:30.560
 and you're standing

00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:31.700
 at a point

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.840
 where you can look

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.860
 at the lake

00:24:33.860 --> 00:24:36.360
 and look at the marina,

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:36.920
 the boats

00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:37.519
 and the slips

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:38.540
 at the same time,

00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:40.460
 on a windy day,

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:42.460
 the water in the lake

00:24:42.460 --> 00:24:44.100
 is just a mess.

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:45.620
 Splashing.

00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:48.580
 It's all shaken up.

00:24:48.579 --> 00:24:50.939
 Simultaneously,

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:52.379
 you look over

00:24:52.379 --> 00:24:53.359
 into the harbor

00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:54.779
 and the water

00:24:54.779 --> 00:24:55.879
 where the boats sit

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:57.119
 is like a bathtub.

00:24:58.819 --> 00:24:59.980
 Do you know the difference?

00:25:02.339 --> 00:25:03.579
 Those mighty rocks

00:25:03.579 --> 00:25:04.119
 piled up.

00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:06.359
 It's a break.

00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:07.980
 It's a jetty.

00:25:09.399 --> 00:25:10.480
 It's a shelter.

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:12.539
 It's safety.

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:14.539
 So it's possible

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:17.799
 during a shake-up

00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:19.240
 when everything else

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:20.220
 is going crazy,

00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.539
 you can find

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:23.879
 shelter in God

00:25:23.879 --> 00:25:25.859
 and your waters

00:25:25.859 --> 00:25:26.639
 be still.

00:25:28.639 --> 00:25:29.879
 My rock,

00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:31.200
 my mighty rock,

00:25:31.919 --> 00:25:32.759
 my fortress.

00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:33.879
 I don't know

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.759
 what the Lord of the Rings,

00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:36.500
 what that giant

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:37.960
 white city is

00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:38.639
 up on those

00:25:38.639 --> 00:25:39.859
 huge cliff face,

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.139
 but that's

00:25:41.139 --> 00:25:42.279
 the fortress image.

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.079
 Safety,

00:25:45.339 --> 00:25:45.919
 protection.

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.460
 God is my fortress.

00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:50.440
 Verse 2 and verse 6.

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.900
 And then in verse 7,

00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:53.300
 David says,

00:25:53.700 --> 00:25:55.580
 God is my refuge,

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.539
 my shelter,

00:25:56.980 --> 00:25:58.200
 and ever-present help

00:25:58.200 --> 00:25:59.180
 in time of trouble,

00:25:59.300 --> 00:26:00.220
 46.1.

00:26:00.740 --> 00:26:02.140
 All these descriptions

00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:04.140
 point to God

00:26:04.140 --> 00:26:05.920
 as an unshakable

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:07.800
 shelter.

00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:10.240
 Rocks,

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:10.920
 fortresses,

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.840
 refuge,

00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:14.859
 unshakable

00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:16.019
 shelter.

00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:18.139
 But let's ask

00:26:18.139 --> 00:26:18.579
 a question.

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:22.559
 What makes God

00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:23.379
 so unshakable?

00:26:27.379 --> 00:26:28.799
 What is the stuff

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.899
 about God

00:26:29.899 --> 00:26:30.699
 that makes Him

00:26:30.699 --> 00:26:31.480
 unshakable?

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:33.919
 Why

00:26:33.919 --> 00:26:36.000
 should I trust

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.399
 in God?

00:26:37.879 --> 00:26:39.039
 Not because of

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:40.000
 how He's described.

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.200
 described.

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.779
 Why is He

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:42.680
 described that way?

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:45.660
 And in verses 11

00:26:45.660 --> 00:26:46.099
 and 12,

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.900
 we're told why.

00:26:48.980 --> 00:26:49.700
 Once God

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:50.299
 has spoken,

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.920
 twice have I

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.500
 heard this.

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:53.599
 It's a Hebrew

00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:54.220
 way of saying,

00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:55.019
 listen up.

00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:58.220
 That power

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:59.259
 belongs to God.

00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:02.119
 Unlimited

00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.339
 power

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:04.559
 belongs to God.

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:05.839
 Think about it.

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:06.799
 Genesis 1,

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.359
 creation.

00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:09.379
 God speaks

00:27:09.379 --> 00:27:10.839
 and things

00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:12.039
 come into existence

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.839
 that never existed.

00:27:15.219 --> 00:27:16.439
 That's power.

00:27:16.919 --> 00:27:17.819
 Think of Jesus.

00:27:18.339 --> 00:27:19.000
 John 11

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:20.119
 walks up

00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:21.240
 to Lazarus'

00:27:21.459 --> 00:27:21.759
 tomb.

00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:22.979
 It's been days.

00:27:23.299 --> 00:27:23.919
 His corpse

00:27:23.919 --> 00:27:24.559
 stinks.

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:25.779
 Jesus says,

00:27:26.139 --> 00:27:26.659
 Lazarus,

00:27:26.779 --> 00:27:27.539
 come forth.

00:27:27.819 --> 00:27:28.559
 And Lazarus

00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:29.479
 comes forth.

00:27:29.939 --> 00:27:30.459
 Power!

00:27:31.159 --> 00:27:31.519
 Unlimited

00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:31.899
 power.

00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:34.599
 Jesus on

00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:35.419
 the seas.

00:27:35.419 --> 00:27:36.459
 It's raging.

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:37.340
 He says,

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:38.160
 be quiet!

00:27:39.740 --> 00:27:40.380
 Bathwater.

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:43.360
 Power.

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:44.799
 Jesus'

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.940
 own resurrection

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.640
 from the dead

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:47.579
 in which He has

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:48.720
 victory over

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:49.759
 sin, death,

00:27:49.819 --> 00:27:50.420
 and the devil.

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:51.420
 Power!

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:54.720
 When Jesus

00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.340
 comes back

00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:55.720
 and He makes

00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:56.680
 all things new

00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:58.140
 and unshakable

00:27:58.140 --> 00:27:59.079
 shalom in the

00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.519
 new heavens

00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:00.240
 and the new earth.

00:28:00.819 --> 00:28:01.420
 Power!

00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:03.779
 That's your God.

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:03.819
 love.

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:06.259
 That's your shelter.

00:28:07.859 --> 00:28:09.339
 That's God

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:10.039
 and why you can

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:10.559
 trust Him.

00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:12.019
 But that's not

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:12.579
 the only thing.

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:16.339
 And that to you,

00:28:16.460 --> 00:28:16.619
 O Lord,

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:17.039
 belongs

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:17.960
 steadfast love.

00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:18.960
 Not only

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:20.000
 is our God,

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:20.579
 our shelter,

00:28:20.740 --> 00:28:21.180
 a God of

00:28:21.180 --> 00:28:21.960
 unlimited power,

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:22.539
 He's a God

00:28:22.539 --> 00:28:23.660
 of unrelenting

00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:24.259
 love.

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:25.399
 Unrelenting.

00:28:26.259 --> 00:28:27.519
 It's steadfast love.

00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:28.200
 It's the Hebrew

00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:29.319
 chesed,

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:30.279
 His covenant

00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:30.920
 loyalty.

00:28:31.580 --> 00:28:32.460
 He binds

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:33.360
 Himself to a

00:28:33.360 --> 00:28:34.100
 people and

00:28:34.100 --> 00:28:34.259
 says,

00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:34.640
 I'm going to

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:35.100
 be faithful

00:28:35.100 --> 00:28:35.600
 to you no

00:28:35.600 --> 00:28:36.340
 matter what.

00:28:36.560 --> 00:28:36.920
 I'm going to

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:37.380
 be committed.

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:37.779
 I'm going to

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:38.279
 love you

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:39.100
 forever and

00:28:39.100 --> 00:28:39.400
 ever and

00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:39.600
 ever.

00:28:42.160 --> 00:28:42.900
 The greatest

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:43.400
 example,

00:28:43.600 --> 00:28:43.940
 of course,

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.480
 of God's

00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:45.160
 unrelenting,

00:28:45.340 --> 00:28:46.060
 steadfast love

00:28:46.060 --> 00:28:46.920
 is the cross

00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.880
 of Jesus Christ.

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:48.600
 But God

00:28:48.600 --> 00:28:49.279
 demonstrates His

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:49.600
 own love

00:28:49.600 --> 00:28:50.200
 towards us

00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:50.980
 in that while

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:52.019
 we were yet

00:28:52.019 --> 00:28:52.460
 sinners,

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.519
 Christ died

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:55.060
 for us.

00:28:56.080 --> 00:28:56.400
 It's a

00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:57.279
 demonstration of

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.940
 His love.

00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:00.000
 And at the

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:00.420
 cross,

00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:01.880
 God in

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:03.019
 Christ dealt

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:03.600
 with the

00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:04.060
 greatest

00:29:04.060 --> 00:29:05.019
 spiritual

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:06.100
 earthquake and

00:29:06.100 --> 00:29:06.880
 threat we

00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:07.500
 could ever

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.300
 experience,

00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:09.880
 God's hostility

00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:10.660
 towards us for

00:29:10.660 --> 00:29:11.100
 our sin.

00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:12.240
 And Jesus

00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:13.380
 bore it all

00:29:13.380 --> 00:29:14.180
 and brought

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:15.640
 peace for

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:17.320
 us because

00:29:17.320 --> 00:29:17.960
 He loves us.

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:22.960
 I just want

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.420
 to remind you

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:23.720
 something.

00:29:25.180 --> 00:29:26.380
 God doesn't

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:27.080
 love you,

00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:27.600
 Christian,

00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:29.519
 because of

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.140
 your obedience.

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:32.920
 God loves

00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:33.420
 you,

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:33.960
 Christian,

00:29:34.460 --> 00:29:35.120
 because He's

00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:35.539
 God.

00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:38.019
 It flows

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:38.640
 out of Him.

00:29:39.120 --> 00:29:39.480
 It's not

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:40.060
 dependent on

00:29:40.060 --> 00:29:40.580
 your obedience

00:29:40.580 --> 00:29:41.100
 to Him.

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.120
 When you

00:29:45.120 --> 00:29:45.800
 realize this

00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:46.300
 kind of love,

00:29:46.360 --> 00:29:46.960
 you just want

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:47.519
 to obey Him

00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:47.700
 though.

00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:49.880
 So don't

00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:50.580
 think like you

00:29:50.580 --> 00:29:51.019
 become a

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:51.340
 Christian,

00:29:51.560 --> 00:29:51.720
 okay,

00:29:51.820 --> 00:29:52.400
 God loved

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:53.080
 me to save

00:29:53.080 --> 00:29:53.500
 me and then

00:29:53.500 --> 00:29:54.080
 God turns

00:29:54.080 --> 00:29:54.480
 off the

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:54.940
 spigot of

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:55.420
 His love.

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:55.500
 love.

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:57.420
 No,

00:29:57.539 --> 00:29:58.140
 He saves

00:29:58.140 --> 00:29:58.539
 you by

00:29:58.539 --> 00:29:59.140
 His love

00:29:59.140 --> 00:29:59.560
 and then

00:29:59.560 --> 00:30:00.320
 He's faithful

00:30:00.320 --> 00:30:01.180
 all the way

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:01.420
 through,

00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:01.860
 all the way

00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:02.380
 to the end

00:30:02.380 --> 00:30:02.759
 because He

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:03.160
 loves you.

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.100
 Unrelenting,

00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:06.620
 unstoppable.

00:30:09.120 --> 00:30:10.259
 And His love

00:30:10.259 --> 00:30:11.400
 governs His power.

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:14.160
 His commitment

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:14.759
 to you

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:16.620
 governs all

00:30:16.620 --> 00:30:17.420
 of the power

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:18.380
 that He has

00:30:18.380 --> 00:30:19.820
 for your

00:30:19.820 --> 00:30:20.080
 good.

00:30:22.760 --> 00:30:23.280
 That's our

00:30:23.280 --> 00:30:23.560
 shelter.

00:30:25.340 --> 00:30:25.860
 But there's

00:30:25.860 --> 00:30:26.180
 one more

00:30:26.180 --> 00:30:26.600
 thing I want

00:30:26.600 --> 00:30:27.020
 you to see.

00:30:28.500 --> 00:30:28.760
 For you

00:30:28.760 --> 00:30:29.160
 will render

00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:29.800
 to a man

00:30:29.800 --> 00:30:30.480
 according to

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:31.100
 his work

00:30:31.100 --> 00:30:33.900
 sovereignty.

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.060
 God's

00:30:36.060 --> 00:30:37.740
 unrivaled

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.520
 sovereignty.

00:30:40.020 --> 00:30:40.560
 God is

00:30:40.560 --> 00:30:41.120
 in control

00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:42.560
 of all

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:42.900
 things.

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.200
 Remember

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.760
 in our study

00:30:43.760 --> 00:30:44.060
 of the book

00:30:44.060 --> 00:30:44.620
 of Revelation,

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.500
 Revelation 1,

00:30:46.600 --> 00:30:46.960
 Jesus has

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:47.560
 got the keys.

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:48.259
 He's got

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:48.879
 all the keys.

00:30:49.579 --> 00:30:49.819
 He's got

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.539
 all authority.

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:51.960
 Jesus sits

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:52.519
 on the throne.

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:54.200
 Jesus breaks

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:55.399
 all the seals

00:30:55.399 --> 00:30:56.359
 to that

00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:57.419
 great scroll

00:30:57.419 --> 00:30:58.119
 of God's

00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:58.859
 plan for

00:30:58.859 --> 00:30:59.279
 the fullness

00:30:59.279 --> 00:30:59.839
 of time.

00:31:00.919 --> 00:31:01.779
 He's over

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.279
 it all.

00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:03.539
 All things

00:31:03.539 --> 00:31:04.460
 under His feet.

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:05.940
 He's in control

00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:06.460
 of it all.

00:31:07.659 --> 00:31:08.559
 Which means

00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.079
 this.

00:31:11.639 --> 00:31:12.940
 He's even

00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:14.119
 in control

00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:15.079
 of what

00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:16.319
 shakes you.

00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.919
 He allows

00:31:18.919 --> 00:31:19.339
 it or

00:31:19.339 --> 00:31:20.059
 causes it

00:31:20.059 --> 00:31:20.639
 and the

00:31:20.639 --> 00:31:21.139
 reason why

00:31:21.139 --> 00:31:21.759
 He does

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.200
 is because

00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:22.779
 He loves

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:23.639
 you and

00:31:23.639 --> 00:31:24.299
 He wants

00:31:24.299 --> 00:31:25.079
 you to

00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:26.059
 trust Him.

00:31:26.859 --> 00:31:27.619
 Wants you

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:28.519
 to learn

00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:29.579
 to come

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:30.319
 under His

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.819
 care,

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:32.440
 to pour out

00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:33.000
 your heart

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:33.659
 to Him,

00:31:34.159 --> 00:31:35.079
 to learn

00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:35.679
 of Him.

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.480
 In God's

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:39.159
 economy of

00:31:39.159 --> 00:31:39.539
 things,

00:31:40.159 --> 00:31:41.000
 your heart

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.220
 being satisfied

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.700
 in Him

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.720
 alone is

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.440
 far more

00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:45.359
 valuable to Him

00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:45.759
 than your

00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:46.139
 comfort.

00:31:47.679 --> 00:31:48.379
 So He

00:31:48.379 --> 00:31:48.979
 uses

00:31:48.979 --> 00:31:50.259
 shake-ups

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:51.479
 to cause

00:31:51.479 --> 00:31:52.119
 you to

00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:52.879
 come to

00:31:52.879 --> 00:31:53.379
 Him,

00:31:53.919 --> 00:31:55.219
 to surrender

00:31:55.219 --> 00:31:56.279
 and find

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:57.099
 shelter

00:31:57.099 --> 00:31:58.179
 in the

00:31:58.179 --> 00:31:58.759
 God of

00:31:58.759 --> 00:31:59.240
 unlimited

00:31:59.240 --> 00:31:59.759
 power,

00:31:59.979 --> 00:32:00.500
 unrelenting

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:01.039
 love,

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:03.439
 and unrivaled

00:32:03.439 --> 00:32:04.159
 sovereignty.

00:32:05.639 --> 00:32:06.500
 Did you notice

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.899
 the word

00:32:06.899 --> 00:32:07.359
 my?

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:07.519
 My

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.619
 salvation,

00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:10.399
 my rock,

00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:11.159
 my fortress,

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:12.219
 my refuge.

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:14.360
 this God

00:32:14.360 --> 00:32:15.200
 is David's

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:15.559
 God.

00:32:16.120 --> 00:32:16.440
 He has

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:17.279
 bound

00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:17.960
 Himself to

00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:18.220
 David,

00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:18.880
 coveted

00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:19.960
 Himself to

00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.200
 David,

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.180
 and Jesus

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:22.480
 has bound

00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:23.240
 Himself to

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.700
 us.

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:25.759
 He's made

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:26.200
 a covenant

00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:26.860
 with us.

00:32:27.220 --> 00:32:27.600
 He'll never

00:32:27.600 --> 00:32:28.160
 leave us

00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:28.839
 nor forsake

00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:29.160
 us.

00:32:29.900 --> 00:32:30.319
 That's why

00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:30.900
 we can say

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:31.380
 He is

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:32.759
 my salvation

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.440
 and my rock,

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:34.079
 my fortress,

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:35.180
 my refuge.

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:35.900
 It's a

00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:36.839
 blood-bought

00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:37.500
 my.

00:32:42.139 --> 00:32:43.059
 I just

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:43.339
 need to

00:32:43.339 --> 00:32:43.779
 say this

00:32:43.779 --> 00:32:44.240
 because it's

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:44.459
 in the

00:32:44.459 --> 00:32:44.799
 text.

00:32:47.399 --> 00:32:48.500
 David warns

00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:48.839
 us,

00:32:49.959 --> 00:32:50.439
 in light of

00:32:50.439 --> 00:32:51.099
 your shelter,

00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:52.779
 who it

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:53.240
 is,

00:32:56.959 --> 00:32:57.319
 unlimited

00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:57.819
 power,

00:32:58.339 --> 00:32:58.720
 unrelenting

00:32:58.720 --> 00:32:59.179
 love,

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:01.339
 unrivaled

00:33:01.339 --> 00:33:01.759
 sovereignty,

00:33:02.159 --> 00:33:03.539
 don't trust,

00:33:04.179 --> 00:33:04.899
 verse 9,

00:33:05.579 --> 00:33:06.480
 in status,

00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:07.839
 trying to

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.079
 get a

00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:08.699
 position.

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.119
 You're not

00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:10.279
 going to

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:10.959
 find shelter

00:33:10.959 --> 00:33:11.459
 for your

00:33:11.459 --> 00:33:12.039
 soul there.

00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:13.599
 Whether it's

00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:14.339
 low estate

00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:14.839
 or high

00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:15.259
 estate,

00:33:15.379 --> 00:33:16.459
 it's all

00:33:16.459 --> 00:33:17.000
 lighter than

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.419
 a breath

00:33:17.419 --> 00:33:17.879
 in God's

00:33:17.879 --> 00:33:18.240
 economy

00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.679
 things.

00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:20.879
 He says

00:33:20.879 --> 00:33:21.159
 in verse

00:33:21.159 --> 00:33:21.399
 10,

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:21.799
 put no

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:22.259
 trust in

00:33:22.259 --> 00:33:22.799
 extortion,

00:33:23.019 --> 00:33:23.319
 set no

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:23.799
 vain hopes

00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:24.399
 on robbery,

00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:24.839
 if riches

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:25.379
 increase,

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.359
 set not

00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:26.859
 your hope

00:33:26.859 --> 00:33:27.419
 on them.

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:27.980
 Hey,

00:33:28.439 --> 00:33:29.119
 don't find

00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:30.119
 shelter in

00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:31.199
 you trying

00:33:31.199 --> 00:33:31.919
 to manipulate

00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:32.639
 something.

00:33:34.199 --> 00:33:34.759
 Find

00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:35.379
 shelter in

00:33:35.379 --> 00:33:35.799
 God,

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:36.740
 unlimited

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:37.180
 power,

00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:38.120
 unrelenting

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:38.599
 love,

00:33:39.859 --> 00:33:40.779
 unrivaled

00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:41.400
 sovereignty.

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.279
 Rest

00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:47.960
 in your

00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:48.299
 shelter.

00:33:50.339 --> 00:33:50.920
 Trust

00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:52.440
 in God's

00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:52.900
 character

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:55.380
 and you

00:33:55.380 --> 00:33:55.839
 will find

00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:56.279
 shalom.

00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.099
 You recognize

00:33:59.099 --> 00:33:59.400
 when you're

00:33:59.400 --> 00:33:59.980
 being shaken,

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.740
 you surrender

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:01.759
 to God in

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.059
 the midst

00:34:02.059 --> 00:34:02.620
 of it and

00:34:02.620 --> 00:34:03.000
 then you

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:04.039
 rest in

00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:04.440
 God's

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:05.380
 character and

00:34:05.380 --> 00:34:06.200
 as a result

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:07.340
 there is

00:34:07.340 --> 00:34:08.079
 shalom.

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:08.920
 Shalom is

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:09.280
 the Hebrew

00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:09.700
 word that

00:34:09.700 --> 00:34:10.539
 means peace

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:11.460
 and it's

00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:11.760
 just not

00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:12.300
 the absence

00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:13.079
 of hostility,

00:34:13.240 --> 00:34:13.660
 it's the

00:34:13.660 --> 00:34:14.220
 fullness of

00:34:14.220 --> 00:34:14.519
 goodness,

00:34:14.680 --> 00:34:15.119
 God's goodness,

00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:15.780
 God's blessing.

00:34:17.700 --> 00:34:18.119
 So when

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:18.820
 David goes

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.460
 from saying

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.900
 in verse

00:34:19.900 --> 00:34:20.300
 two,

00:34:20.500 --> 00:34:20.900
 I shall

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.440
 not be

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.840
 greatly

00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:22.400
 shaken

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.380
 to saying

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:24.760
 in verse

00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:25.240
 six,

00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:25.800
 I shall

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:26.380
 not be

00:34:26.380 --> 00:34:26.760
 shaken

00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:27.420
 period,

00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:28.780
 what that

00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:29.559
 shows us

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:30.220
 is a

00:34:30.220 --> 00:34:31.059
 progress

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:32.420
 in David's

00:34:32.420 --> 00:34:33.199
 experience

00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:34.960
 of God's

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:35.639
 shalom

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:36.920
 in his

00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:37.559
 life.

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:38.980
 It should

00:34:38.980 --> 00:34:39.320
 give you

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:39.519
 some

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:39.900
 encouragement.

00:34:41.219 --> 00:34:41.960
 You can

00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:42.360
 experience

00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:42.920
 more of

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:43.239
 God's

00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:43.639
 peace.

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:46.000
 What I

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:46.400
 want you

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:46.719
 to see

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:47.739
 here is

00:34:47.739 --> 00:34:48.059
 that

00:34:48.059 --> 00:34:48.759
 shalom

00:34:48.759 --> 00:34:50.039
 is the

00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:50.840
 result

00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:52.639
 of trusting

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:53.219
 God.

00:34:54.380 --> 00:34:55.279
 It's the

00:34:55.279 --> 00:34:55.860
 result of

00:34:55.860 --> 00:34:56.579
 trusting God.

00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:57.239
 It's the

00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:57.840
 result of

00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:58.179
 finding

00:34:58.179 --> 00:34:58.980
 shelter

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.539
 in your

00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:00.400
 unshakable

00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:00.920
 God.

00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:02.360
 So when

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.920
 stuff goes

00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:03.400
 sideways

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:03.759
 and you're

00:35:03.759 --> 00:35:04.000
 like,

00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:04.519
 oh Lord,

00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:05.159
 just give

00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:05.880
 me peace.

00:35:06.219 --> 00:35:06.719
 God is

00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:06.940
 saying,

00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:07.360
 I want

00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:07.619
 to give

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:07.779
 you

00:35:07.779 --> 00:35:08.299
 me.

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:11.219
 I want

00:35:11.219 --> 00:35:11.440
 you to

00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.199
 trust me

00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.139
 and shalom

00:35:14.139 --> 00:35:14.779
 will come.

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:15.739
 Isaiah

00:35:15.739 --> 00:35:16.340
 26,

00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:16.739
 three,

00:35:17.380 --> 00:35:18.039
 you keep

00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:18.719
 him in

00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:19.199
 perfect

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:19.860
 peace

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:20.539
 whose

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:21.239
 mind

00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:22.159
 is stayed

00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:23.199
 on you

00:35:23.199 --> 00:35:24.380
 because he

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:25.440
 trusts in

00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:25.779
 you.

00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:26.880
 Kyle's

00:35:26.880 --> 00:35:27.139
 name and

00:35:27.139 --> 00:35:27.679
 blessed is

00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:28.139
 the man

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:29.219
 who trusts

00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:29.480
 in the

00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:29.779
 Lord,

00:35:29.780 --> 00:35:30.740
 whose

00:35:30.740 --> 00:35:31.220
 trust

00:35:31.220 --> 00:35:32.360
 is the

00:35:32.360 --> 00:35:32.720
 Lord.

00:35:33.820 --> 00:35:34.480
 That's

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:34.900
 what that's

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:35.560
 talking about.

00:35:36.240 --> 00:35:36.780
 Shalom is

00:35:36.780 --> 00:35:37.400
 the result

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.000
 of trusting

00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:40.420
 in God.

00:35:40.420 --> 00:35:40.460
 God.

00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:43.220
 When your

00:35:43.220 --> 00:35:44.019
 world is

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:44.840
 being shaken

00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:46.200
 and you're

00:35:46.200 --> 00:35:46.920
 feeling all

00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.519
 alone and

00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:47.860
 out of

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.400
 control,

00:35:49.139 --> 00:35:49.700
 you must

00:35:49.700 --> 00:35:50.340
 learn to

00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:51.159
 trust in

00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:51.980
 God alone.

00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:52.680
 He is your

00:35:52.680 --> 00:35:53.720
 unshakable

00:35:53.720 --> 00:35:54.800
 shelter.

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:54.900
 shelter.

00:35:56.700 --> 00:35:57.539
 When you

00:35:57.539 --> 00:35:57.860
 do,

00:35:59.060 --> 00:35:59.780
 you will be

00:35:59.780 --> 00:36:00.220
 able to

00:36:00.220 --> 00:36:00.920
 say this,

00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:03.560
 because God

00:36:03.560 --> 00:36:03.920
 is my

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:04.500
 refuge,

00:36:05.420 --> 00:36:06.880
 I shall

00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:07.260
 not be

00:36:07.260 --> 00:36:07.600
 shaken.

00:36:08.660 --> 00:36:09.580
 Though the

00:36:09.580 --> 00:36:10.600
 lake

00:36:10.600 --> 00:36:11.140
 waters

00:36:11.140 --> 00:36:11.840
 rage,

00:36:13.539 --> 00:36:15.780
 I'm in a

00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:16.080
 safe

00:36:16.080 --> 00:36:16.560
 marina.

00:36:17.620 --> 00:36:18.460
 My waters

00:36:18.460 --> 00:36:18.900
 are still.

00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:21.740
 we live

00:36:21.740 --> 00:36:22.000
 on the

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.260
 fault

00:36:22.260 --> 00:36:22.559
 lines,

00:36:22.700 --> 00:36:23.119
 brothers and

00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:23.480
 sisters,

00:36:24.160 --> 00:36:24.680
 and the

00:36:24.680 --> 00:36:25.240
 best thing

00:36:25.240 --> 00:36:25.619
 that you

00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:26.039
 can do

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.480
 when you

00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:27.000
 are being

00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:27.480
 shaken

00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:28.820
 is to

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:29.420
 recognize

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:29.900
 it,

00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:31.400
 to surrender

00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:32.220
 yourself,

00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.960
 to find

00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:35.059
 shelter in

00:36:35.059 --> 00:36:35.559
 God the

00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:36.220
 Most High,

00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:37.880
 and then

00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:39.139
 to give

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:39.900
 thanks for

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.440
 the shalom,

00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.420
 because it's

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:42.860
 not going to

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:43.360
 last,

00:36:44.059 --> 00:36:44.660
 because you

00:36:44.660 --> 00:36:45.000
 live on

00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:45.639
 fault lines.

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:47.859
 this side

00:36:47.859 --> 00:36:48.900
 of Christ's

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:49.239
 return.

00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:51.559
 This morning

00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:51.940
 we've looked

00:36:51.940 --> 00:36:52.400
 at four

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:53.619
 steps of

00:36:53.619 --> 00:36:55.500
 what it

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:55.819
 means to

00:36:55.819 --> 00:36:56.500
 wait on

00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:57.079
 the Lord

00:36:57.079 --> 00:36:57.859
 when there

00:36:57.859 --> 00:36:58.759
 is seismic

00:36:58.759 --> 00:37:00.079
 activity in

00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:00.920
 your life.

00:37:02.359 --> 00:37:03.159
 We live

00:37:03.159 --> 00:37:03.460
 on the

00:37:03.460 --> 00:37:04.259
 fault lines,

00:37:05.259 --> 00:37:06.539
 and when

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:06.940
 our world

00:37:06.940 --> 00:37:07.460
 is shaken,

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:09.559
 and you're

00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:10.139
 feeling all

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:10.679
 alone,

00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:13.039
 trust in

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:13.599
 God alone.

00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.480
 and we

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:17.019
 help each

00:37:17.019 --> 00:37:17.480
 other that

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:17.980
 way too.

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:20.079
 Brother,

00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:20.559
 sister,

00:37:22.659 --> 00:37:24.440
 trust in

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:25.119
 God at

00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:25.900
 all times.

00:37:28.059 --> 00:37:28.799
 Pour out

00:37:28.799 --> 00:37:29.960
 your heart

00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:31.719
 before him.

00:37:33.339 --> 00:37:34.179
 God is a

00:37:34.179 --> 00:37:36.319
 refuge for

00:37:36.319 --> 00:37:36.759
 us.

00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:38.319
 Let's

00:37:38.319 --> 00:37:38.559
 pray.

00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:40.779
 God in

00:37:40.779 --> 00:37:40.960
 heaven,

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:41.319
 thank you

00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:44.159
 God,

00:37:44.219 --> 00:37:44.480
 would you

00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:45.059
 use these

00:37:45.059 --> 00:37:45.819
 words now,

00:37:45.940 --> 00:37:46.219
 and would

00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:46.819
 you attend

00:37:46.819 --> 00:37:47.699
 to the

00:37:47.699 --> 00:37:48.360
 hearts in

00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:48.900
 this room,

00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:50.860
 those hearts

00:37:50.860 --> 00:37:51.199
 that are

00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:51.960
 being shaken.

00:37:52.659 --> 00:37:52.839
 God,

00:37:52.900 --> 00:37:53.239
 would you

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:54.480
 cause your

00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:55.480
 word now

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:56.579
 to go

00:37:56.579 --> 00:37:57.319
 and bring

00:37:57.319 --> 00:37:58.119
 shalom,

00:37:58.799 --> 00:37:59.380
 a shalom

00:37:59.380 --> 00:37:59.980
 that is the

00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:01.900
 result of

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:02.860
 trusting you,

00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:06.059
 our great

00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:06.639

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:07.019

00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:08.759
 Amen.

00:38:08.759 --> 00:38:08.920
 Amen.
