00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.980
 All right, well, please follow along as I read Psalm 27.

00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.160
 We receive God's word trusting that it is inspired by him.

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:13.859
! It's breathed out by the Holy Spirit.

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.800
 And it is the sword of the Spirit in his hand, so to speak.

00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.640
 It's sharper than any two-edged sword, and it pierces through to man's heart.

00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:23.879
 We ask that he will do that today.

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:26.519
 A Psalm of David.

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:31.460
 The Lord is my light and my salvation.

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:33.359
 Whom shall I fear?

00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:36.659
 The Lord is the strength of my life.

00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:38.740
 Of whom shall I be afraid?

00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.140
 When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh,

00:00:43.519 --> 00:00:46.260
 my enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell.

00:00:47.260 --> 00:00:51.579
 Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear.

00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:56.260
 Though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident.

00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:01.740
 One thing I have desired of the Lord, that I will seek.

00:01:02.580 --> 00:01:07.100
 That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:11.740
 to behold the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.

00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:16.439
 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion.

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:21.100
 In the secret place of his tabernacle he shall hide me.

00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:24.500
 He shall set me high upon a rock.

00:01:26.579 --> 00:01:31.500
 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies, all around me.

00:01:31.979 --> 00:01:36.099
 Therefore, I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle.

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:39.879
 I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:43.639
 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice.

00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:46.439
 Have mercy also upon me and answer me.

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.480
 When you said, seek my face, my heart said to you,

00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:54.439
 your face, Lord, I will seek.

00:01:55.219 --> 00:01:57.480
 Do not hide your face from me.

00:01:57.939 --> 00:02:00.259
 Do not turn your servant away in anger.

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:02.039
 You have been my help.

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:07.099
 Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

00:02:07.979 --> 00:02:09.979
 When my father and mother forsake me,

00:02:09.979 --> 00:02:12.879
 then the Lord will take care of me.

00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.159
 Teach me your way, O Lord,

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.039
 and lead me in a smooth path because of my enemies.

00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.399
 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries.

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:26.899
 For false witnesses have risen against me

00:02:26.899 --> 00:02:29.379
 and such as breathe out violence.

00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:34.679
 I would have lost heart unless I had believed

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:39.280
 that I would see the goodness of the Lord

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.240
 in the land of the living.

00:02:42.540 --> 00:02:43.560
 Wait on the Lord.

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.240
 Be of good courage,

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:48.460
 and he shall strengthen your heart.

00:02:49.140 --> 00:02:51.020
 Wait, I say, on the Lord.

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:53.700
 The word of God for the people of God.

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:55.400
 Thanks be to God.

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:56.140
 Please be seated.

00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.060
 The grass withers, the flower fades,

00:03:00.140 --> 00:03:02.240
 but the word of the Lord stands forever.

00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.920
 Lord, please pray with me.

00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:15.340
 Oh, Lord, we pray that you will please give us

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:17.980
 a glimpse of your majesty,

00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:20.340
 your glory, your goodness.

00:03:21.580 --> 00:03:23.980
 Lord, by the ministry and the intercession

00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:25.120
 of Jesus Christ,

00:03:25.540 --> 00:03:28.460
 whose body was torn like the veil,

00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:32.140
 please give us access into the secret place

00:03:32.139 --> 00:03:33.439
 of your tabernacle,

00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.339
 into the holy of holies,

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.679
 where your glory dwells, Lord.

00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.039
 Teach us to receive you by faith today.

00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.019
 We ask this, Lord, for Christ's sake alone.

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:44.759
 Amen.

00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:54.099
 A father's house is where he rests,

00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.439
 where he retreats with his family,

00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.719
 where he protects and teaches his children,

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.340
 and where he welcomes, serves,

00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.659
 and feasts with his close friends.

00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:09.319
 The house is a special place.

00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.500
 When you get invited over to someone else's house,

00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.439
 it's a sign of love, trust, and honor

00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.720
 to be invited as a guest,

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.240
 to be in the place where your close friend dwells.

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.860
 We read in Psalm 27 another Psalm of David.

00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:33.220
 We don't have any other firm indications

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:34.740
 of the exact occasion,

00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:37.920
 but we do know from our study of 1 Samuel

00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.819
 that David was often homeless,

00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.180
 and we could imagine when he was in the cave

00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:44.319
 and hiding in darkness,

00:04:44.819 --> 00:04:46.600
 outside of the kingdom,

00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:47.780
 on earth,

00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:50.360
 he was very homesick,

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.980
 and his heart was not there,

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.579
 not in the land of the Philistines.

00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.579
 His heart was in the land that God had promised

00:04:58.579 --> 00:05:00.860
 to be in the presence where God promised

00:05:00.860 --> 00:05:03.259
 to rule over and be with his people.

00:05:05.340 --> 00:05:07.819
 Psalm 27, David confesses

00:05:07.819 --> 00:05:10.040
 that homesickness in his heart.

00:05:10.580 --> 00:05:11.620
 Would you look at verse 4?

00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.580
 He's homesick for one thing

00:05:15.580 --> 00:05:18.520
 above all others.

00:05:19.580 --> 00:05:21.080
 He says in verse 4,

00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:25.280
 One thing I have desired of the Lord,

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:26.920
 that I will seek,

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.680
 that I may dwell

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.720
 in the house of the Lord.

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.939
 We'd never dream of asking for that

00:05:37.939 --> 00:05:39.340
 if it weren't for the Spirit

00:05:39.340 --> 00:05:40.680
 breathing those words out.

00:05:41.459 --> 00:05:42.699
 But this is so fitting,

00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:43.960
 this revelation

00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:45.840
 of who God is

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.860
 according to all of his word.

00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:51.639
 You and I, like David,

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.300
 we are weak, aren't we?

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:55.620
 We're broken.

00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:59.199
 And Jesus said,

00:05:59.340 --> 00:06:00.699
 I came exactly for you,

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:02.160
 for you who are sick

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:03.360
 and weak.

00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.120
 He came for those who are fatherless

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.139
 and hopeless.

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.780
 We who are most needy

00:06:11.780 --> 00:06:14.240
 in that moment of our greatest need,

00:06:15.019 --> 00:06:17.319
 we best reflect

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.280
 the mercy,

00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:20.259
 the grace,

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:21.180
 and the power

00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:22.280
 of God

00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:23.879
 who came to seek

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:24.639
 and save us

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:25.319
 who were lost

00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.540
 and hopeless without him.

00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.300
 So my prayer today

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.340
 is that the Spirit

00:06:30.340 --> 00:06:31.120
 will help us

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:32.699
 as we walk through

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:33.439
 verse by verse

00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:34.439
 Psalm 27

00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.259
 with four encouragements

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:38.540
 for people like you and me

00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:40.879
 answering this question,

00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:42.399
 the title of our sermon,

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:44.620
 Who needs to be

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:46.259
 in the house of God?

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:48.579
 Who needs to be

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:49.599
 in the house

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:50.620
 of God?

00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:51.979
 Number one,

00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:53.719
 we whose hearts

00:06:53.719 --> 00:06:55.859
 tend to fear,

00:06:56.459 --> 00:06:57.099
 we need to be

00:06:57.099 --> 00:06:58.000
 in the house of God.

00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:00.759
 We whose hearts

00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:01.899
 tend to fear

00:07:01.899 --> 00:07:03.399
 need to be

00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:04.459
 in the house

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:05.039
 of God.

00:07:06.419 --> 00:07:07.599
 Look at verse one.

00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:10.099
 The Lord is my light

00:07:10.099 --> 00:07:12.419
 and my salvation.

00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:14.560
 Whom shall I fear?

00:07:15.219 --> 00:07:16.199
 The Lord is

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:16.959
 the strength

00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:17.799
 of my life.

00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:18.879
 Of whom

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.720
 shall I be

00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:20.720
 afraid?

00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:23.680
 I loved how Jeremiah

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:24.280
 pointed out

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:25.060
 in our Bible study

00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:25.620
 this morning,

00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:28.199
 the Lord is my light

00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:29.360
 and he exposes

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.439
 all that we are

00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.439
 and we should be afraid

00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:33.319
 but we know also

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:34.199
 in that the same

00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:34.939
 holy God

00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:36.639
 whose light is so bright

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.660
 exposing everything

00:07:37.660 --> 00:07:38.259
 in us,

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:39.519
 he is also

00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:40.300
 our salvation.

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:42.939
 And that great fear

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:43.439
 of God

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:44.139
 and reverence

00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:45.160
 and trust in him

00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:45.840
 as our Savior

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:46.740
 leaves no room

00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:47.259
 in our hearts

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:48.680
 to fear man.

00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:50.759
 Of whom shall we

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:51.379
 be afraid

00:07:51.379 --> 00:07:52.460
 compared to God?

00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:54.319
 Confesses our weakness.

00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:55.900
 God himself

00:07:55.900 --> 00:07:56.860
 is the strength

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:57.740
 of my life.

00:07:58.139 --> 00:07:59.620
 I have no strength

00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:00.340
 on my own.

00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:02.660
 God is all my strength.

00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:04.420
 Who shall

00:08:04.420 --> 00:08:06.000
 I be afraid of?

00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:08.420
 He says next,

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:09.060
 when the wicked

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:10.780
 came against me,

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:11.840
 he's referring to this

00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:12.759
 in the past tense,

00:08:13.119 --> 00:08:13.959
 looking back,

00:08:14.659 --> 00:08:15.039
 the wicked

00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:16.379
 came against me

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:18.199
 and he says

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.599
 something very surprising

00:08:19.599 --> 00:08:20.539
 in Hebrew poetry,

00:08:20.679 --> 00:08:21.239
 they came

00:08:21.239 --> 00:08:22.799
 to eat my flesh.

00:08:23.799 --> 00:08:24.439
 We don't know

00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:24.959
 historically

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:25.819
 of cannibals

00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:26.479
 in this land

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:27.399
 but that's how it felt.

00:08:27.779 --> 00:08:28.659
 They're coming like

00:08:28.659 --> 00:08:30.219
 ravenous wolves

00:08:30.219 --> 00:08:31.239
 or beasts

00:08:31.239 --> 00:08:31.859
 and jackals

00:08:31.859 --> 00:08:32.299
 that are going to

00:08:32.299 --> 00:08:33.100
 try to devour

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.600
 and eat up his flesh.

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:36.079
 That's what the enemies

00:08:36.079 --> 00:08:36.519
 were like.

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.740
 It's a terrifying thought.

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:38.220
 Saul,

00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:39.759
 my enemies,

00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.659
 my foes,

00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:41.500
 looking back

00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:43.500
 against God's power,

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:45.139
 they stumbled

00:08:45.139 --> 00:08:46.460
 and fell.

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:48.639
 Saul was one

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.220
 of those enemies

00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:50.379
 and he couldn't

00:08:50.379 --> 00:08:51.360
 lead a campaign

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.039
 against David

00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:52.919
 without stumbling

00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:53.799
 all over themselves

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.220
 and looking foolish

00:08:55.220 --> 00:08:56.580
 and ultimately

00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:57.919
 that's how the kingdom

00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:58.460
 of Saul

00:08:58.460 --> 00:08:59.220
 is described,

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.899
 a fallen kingdom,

00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:02.560
 echoing the fallen

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:03.919
 state of mankind

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.120
 under the first king,

00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:05.860
 Adam,

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:07.720
 pointing to our need

00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.320
 for a much greater king

00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.100
 who will not fall

00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:12.800
 and that's our Lord

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:13.639
 Jesus Christ.

00:09:16.540 --> 00:09:17.980
 In verse 3 he says,

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:18.940
 though an army

00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:20.899
 may encamp against me,

00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:22.019
 now he's looking forward.

00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:23.639
 It's a hypothetical threat

00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:24.320
 in the future.

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.259
 This is a terrifying thing

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:26.740
 for someone

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:28.040
 who's going to be receiving

00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:29.180
 the responsibility

00:09:29.180 --> 00:09:30.019
 of protecting

00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:31.759
 as king over a people

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.580
 and to encamp

00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:35.100
 against a nation

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:36.759
 is to besiege them.

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:38.940
 It's like a cold war.

00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:39.480
 We're going to bring

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:39.980
 our troops

00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.980
 all the way around

00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:42.100
 the walls of their city.

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:43.180
 We're not going to let

00:09:43.180 --> 00:09:43.920
 anything come in

00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:44.779
 or anything come out

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:46.080
 until they starve.

00:09:46.540 --> 00:09:47.580
 They're under siege.

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:48.980
 And he says,

00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:50.019
 if that were to happen,

00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.019
 my heart shall not fear.

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.160
 Well, what if it gets out

00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:54.879
 of that cold war?

00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:55.340
 He says,

00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.940
 though war may arise

00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:57.580
 against me.

00:09:58.960 --> 00:09:59.920
 And so now they're

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:00.920
 no longer just waiting

00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:02.080
 and watching us starve

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:02.560
 and get weak.

00:10:02.620 --> 00:10:03.779
 Now they're attacking us.

00:10:04.180 --> 00:10:05.580
 It's war that's broken out

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.560
 against God's people.

00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.359
 David says,

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:09.959
 in this I will be confident.

00:10:10.259 --> 00:10:11.639
 The same truth about God.

00:10:12.119 --> 00:10:13.699
 God remains the same.

00:10:13.819 --> 00:10:14.879
 He is still my light.

00:10:15.379 --> 00:10:16.619
 He is still my salvation.

00:10:17.619 --> 00:10:18.959
 My heart shall not fear

00:10:18.959 --> 00:10:19.539
 even then

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:20.679
 because the Lord

00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:21.539
 is the strength

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:23.379
 of my life.

00:10:25.619 --> 00:10:26.699
 David's describing

00:10:26.699 --> 00:10:27.979
 the fear of his heart

00:10:27.979 --> 00:10:30.639
 in a very real way.

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.360
 He sensed this fear

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.100
 welling up.

00:10:35.199 --> 00:10:36.100
 The wicked are coming

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:36.759
 after him

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:38.620
 and he can even fear

00:10:38.620 --> 00:10:39.559
 things that haven't even

00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.799
 happened yet in the future.

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.480
 But what truth

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.460
 did the Lord minister

00:10:44.460 --> 00:10:45.080
 to David

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:46.500
 in the midst

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:47.500
 of those fears?

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.340
 He said,

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.600
 David,

00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:50.860
 I've been strong

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:51.919
 for you in the past.

00:10:52.379 --> 00:10:53.460
 I've protected you.

00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.279
 I've caused your

00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:55.439
 enemies' plans

00:10:55.439 --> 00:10:56.980
 to falter

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.879
 before

00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.059
 and I will do this again.

00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:01.960
 And then what did

00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.000
 the Lord lead David

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.279
 to respond with?

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.399
 He said,

00:11:06.439 --> 00:11:06.659
 David,

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.919
 when your fears

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.799
 are welling up

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:09.679
 and you're wanting

00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:10.639
 to look out there

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.399
 at the world,

00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:11.919
 at men,

00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:13.559
 remember

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:14.559
 who I am.

00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:15.700
 Look at me instead.

00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:18.419
 And the response

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:19.240
 from David then

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:19.899
 of this truth

00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:20.700
 of who God is,

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:21.879
 he says in verse 3,

00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:23.159
 my heart

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.860
 shall not fear.

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:28.100
 To me,

00:11:28.179 --> 00:11:29.159
 it reads like he's saying,

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:30.799
 I do fear now,

00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:32.059
 but the Lord

00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:33.120
 is leading me

00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:33.820
 to trust

00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:35.019
 him

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:36.399
 and who he is

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.179
 that my heart

00:11:37.179 --> 00:11:38.740
 at least eventually

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.200
 shall not fear.

00:11:41.059 --> 00:11:42.879
 I will trust

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:43.620
 in the Lord's

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:44.299
 victory

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.539
 and I will find

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:46.000
 comfort

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:46.860
 in the presence

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:47.559
 of God.

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:49.259
 I will be reminded

00:11:49.259 --> 00:11:50.000
 over and over

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.320
 of who God is

00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:52.640
 and what he has done,

00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.800
 his wondrous works

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:55.080
 and the Lord

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.420
 will work into me

00:11:56.420 --> 00:11:57.640
 a confidence

00:11:57.640 --> 00:11:58.600
 in him

00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.379
 that pushes out

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:01.760
 my natural fear

00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:02.200
 of man.

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.480
 Where is it

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:04.920
 that David

00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:05.560
 would get these

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:06.080
 reminders

00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.640
 of who God is

00:12:07.640 --> 00:12:08.420
 and the great works

00:12:08.420 --> 00:12:08.920
 of God?

00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:10.640
 The language

00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:11.600
 in this whole psalm

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:11.820
 is,

00:12:12.780 --> 00:12:13.540
 it's like a man

00:12:13.540 --> 00:12:14.100
 in exile

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:14.879
 pushed out,

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:15.900
 but he's,

00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.200
 at least in his mind

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:17.640
 and his soul

00:12:17.640 --> 00:12:18.060
 and his heart,

00:12:18.140 --> 00:12:18.820
 he's remembering

00:12:18.820 --> 00:12:19.760
 the worship

00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:21.220
 in the house of God

00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:21.899
 that's the theme

00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:22.560
 of the psalm.

00:12:23.420 --> 00:12:23.980
 He's approaching

00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:24.379
 the Lord

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:25.460
 as if it were

00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:26.019
 through the old

00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:28.019
 covenant ceremonial laws.

00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:30.680
 Richard Sibbes,

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.639
 one of the Puritans,

00:12:31.940 --> 00:12:32.779
 made this comment,

00:12:32.779 --> 00:12:33.740
 for the Jews,

00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:35.480
 there was one

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:36.800
 national congregation

00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:38.360
 and only one place,

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:39.720
 only one tabernacle,

00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:41.980
 only one holy of holies

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:42.560
 where you could have

00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:43.620
 communion with God.

00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:45.399
 But now,

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:47.019
 through Jesus Christ,

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:47.700
 God has

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:49.420
 has made Jesus

00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:50.320
 himself

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:51.640
 the holy of holies,

00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.680
 the place where God

00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:53.860
 meets with sinners

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:55.480
 and calls us

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.460
 righteous and clean

00:12:56.460 --> 00:12:57.240
 and pardoned

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:58.680
 and safe in Christ.

00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.200
 And Jesus said,

00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:02.180
 where you gather

00:13:02.180 --> 00:13:03.000
 in my name,

00:13:03.100 --> 00:13:03.640
 in me,

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:05.620
 there the Lord

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:06.879
 dwells with you.

00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.700
 God has erected

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:13.060
 tabernacles

00:13:13.060 --> 00:13:14.020
 all over the world,

00:13:14.540 --> 00:13:15.720
 particular churches.

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.620
 Richard Sibbes

00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.340
 went on to say,

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:19.180
 the tabernacle

00:13:19.180 --> 00:13:20.399
 or house of God

00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:20.840
 now

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.940
 are the visible churches.

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.320
 These same places

00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:25.879
 are where

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:27.940
 the means of salvation

00:13:27.940 --> 00:13:29.160
 are ministered

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:30.800
 over and over again.

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:32.120
 This is where

00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:32.680
 God's people

00:13:32.680 --> 00:13:33.440
 in the new covenant

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.080
 receive Christ

00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.940
 through his word.

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:37.420
 It's where we hear

00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:38.379
 reminders of the

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:39.560
 wondrous works of God.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.540
 We hear reminders

00:13:40.540 --> 00:13:41.840
 of who God is

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:44.000
 and what he promises

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:45.000
 to us as people.

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.120
 It's where

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:47.379
 the church gathers

00:13:47.379 --> 00:13:48.299
 and we picture

00:13:48.299 --> 00:13:48.860
 the gospel

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:49.679
 through baptism

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.039
 and we celebrate

00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:51.639
 the gospel

00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.340
 visible at the Lord's

00:13:53.340 --> 00:13:53.580
 Supper

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:54.320
 when we gather

00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:54.919
 in his name.

00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:57.340
 Every true

00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:58.399
 local church

00:13:58.399 --> 00:13:59.720
 is now

00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:01.820
 a house of God

00:14:01.820 --> 00:14:03.279
 where God dwells

00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.600
 with his people

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.000
 and where he meets us.

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:08.440
 So like David,

00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.320
 we whose hearts

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.360
 also tend

00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:11.379
 to fear

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:12.360
 in this world,

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.480
 we love to be

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.419
 in the house

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:15.940
 of God.

00:14:16.899 --> 00:14:17.899
 We love to be

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.879
 reminded together

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.399
 of who God is,

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:21.759
 what he has done,

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.340
 and what he promises.

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.240
 Number two,

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:28.159
 who needs to be

00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.039
 in the house of God?

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.620
 Not only we

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:32.460
 who tend to fear,

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:33.279
 but also we

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.240
 who experience

00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:35.519
 times of trouble.

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:36.820
 We need to be

00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:38.220
 in the house of God.

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:40.080
 We who experience

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:41.040
 times of trouble

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.160
 need to be

00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:43.580
 in the house of God.

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:44.899
 In verse four,

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:46.100
 David goes on to say,

00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:48.040
 One thing I have

00:14:48.040 --> 00:14:49.600
 desired of the Lord

00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.000
 that I will seek,

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:52.180
 that I may dwell

00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:53.279
 in the house

00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:54.040
 of the Lord

00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:54.759
 all the days

00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:55.620
 of my life.

00:14:56.420 --> 00:14:57.040
 Why, David?

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:57.740
 Why do you want

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.240
 to be there?

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.040
 To behold

00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:01.200
 the beauty of the Lord

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.660
 and to inquire

00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:03.379
 in his temple.

00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:04.620
 Verse five,

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.340
 For in the time

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:06.940
 of trouble,

00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:08.040
 he shall hide me

00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:09.500
 in the pavilion,

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:11.700
 in his secret place

00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:12.639
 of his tabernacle.

00:15:13.280 --> 00:15:14.560
 There he shall hide me.

00:15:15.700 --> 00:15:16.720
 He shall set me

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:18.259
 as up high

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:19.019
 upon a rock.

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:24.680
 This is describing

00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:27.379
 a man who's been hunted

00:15:27.379 --> 00:15:28.660
 in the wilderness,

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:29.820
 away from home.

00:15:31.180 --> 00:15:32.340
 He has no place

00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:33.100
 where he can go

00:15:33.100 --> 00:15:33.900
 that he knows

00:15:33.900 --> 00:15:34.740
 he will be safe.

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:36.519
 But yet he's trusting

00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:37.080
 that if God

00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:37.820
 had nowhere else

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:39.259
 to tuck David away

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:40.039
 and hide him

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:40.960
 from his enemies,

00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:41.779
 the Lord would put him

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:42.899
 in the Holy of Holies.

00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:44.180
 That place where

00:15:44.180 --> 00:15:45.120
 a sinner like David

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.659
 has no right to be.

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:49.100
 The Lord would do that

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:50.500
 to keep his servants safe.

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.620
 And think of this

00:15:53.620 --> 00:15:55.320
 wonderful foreshadowing.

00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:57.139
 David is reflecting

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:59.060
 upon the pavilion

00:15:59.060 --> 00:15:59.759
 of the Lord,

00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:00.720
 the tabernacle

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.080
 that is lifted up

00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.379
 according to the regulations

00:16:03.379 --> 00:16:05.200
 God gave through Moses

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:06.439
 and Mount Sinai

00:16:06.439 --> 00:16:07.259
 to all the people

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:07.740
 of Israel

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.600
 for them to follow.

00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:09.919
 This is how you will

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:10.700
 worship the Lord

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:11.820
 and this is how you will

00:16:11.820 --> 00:16:12.980
 approach the Holy God.

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:15.039
 And we're told

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:17.299
 that Moses was given

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:18.120
 these instructions,

00:16:18.340 --> 00:16:19.100
 every detail

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:20.179
 about the tabernacle,

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.919
 following the pattern

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:22.580
 of heaven.

00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:24.379
 It's the pattern

00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:25.539
 of God's plan

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:26.840
 to redeem his people

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:28.519
 from all time.

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:30.240
 The tabernacle

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.080
 was a shadow,

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:31.899
 the book of Hebrews

00:16:31.899 --> 00:16:32.439
 tells us,

00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.720
 of the future work

00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:34.659
 of Jesus Christ.

00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:36.980
 It's a pattern

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:38.959
 of the Lamb of God,

00:16:39.079 --> 00:16:39.779
 Jesus Christ.

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:40.959
 The book of Revelation

00:16:40.959 --> 00:16:42.899
 said Jesus was slain

00:16:42.899 --> 00:16:43.699
 as that Lamb

00:16:43.699 --> 00:16:45.399
 before the foundations

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.199
 of the world.

00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:47.720
 This is what

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.519
 the tabernacle

00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:49.759
 was ministering

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.439
 by faith

00:16:50.439 --> 00:16:51.819
 to men like David

00:16:51.819 --> 00:16:53.179
 and Moses

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:54.299
 and all those

00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:55.299
 who would worship

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:56.240
 the one true God

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.360
 under the old covenant

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.699
 ceremonial law.

00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:00.960
 And in David's

00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:01.960
 times of trouble,

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:03.020
 that's where

00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:03.879
 he wants to be.

00:17:05.019 --> 00:17:06.039
 He wants to be

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:07.500
 in the tabernacle

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:08.440
 of the Lord.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.180
 He says there

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:12.200
 in verse 5,

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:13.580
 He shall set me up,

00:17:14.080 --> 00:17:15.380
 up high upon a rock.

00:17:16.120 --> 00:17:17.279
 That will be my fortress.

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:19.400
 That spiritual meeting place

00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.759
 where the Lord

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.559
 himself

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:22.580
 and his presence

00:17:22.580 --> 00:17:23.880
 will be my shield.

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:26.080
 Verse 6,

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:26.580
 he says,

00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:27.799
 now my head

00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:28.819
 shall be lifted up

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:30.179
 above my enemies

00:17:30.179 --> 00:17:31.740
 all around me.

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.199
 He feels hunted down now.

00:17:35.339 --> 00:17:35.899
 He feels like

00:17:35.899 --> 00:17:36.740
 he has to be like,

00:17:37.399 --> 00:17:37.720
 you know,

00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:38.899
 like a beast

00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:39.439
 of the field

00:17:39.439 --> 00:17:40.359
 that goes into hiding

00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.199
 and finds a hole

00:17:41.199 --> 00:17:41.740
 in the ground

00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:42.839
 to not get devoured.

00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:44.319
 But there,

00:17:44.779 --> 00:17:45.359
 the Lord will

00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:46.519
 lift him up,

00:17:46.879 --> 00:17:47.480
 head above

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:48.619
 all of his other enemies

00:17:48.619 --> 00:17:49.579
 that want to kill him.

00:17:50.639 --> 00:17:51.679
 And his response,

00:17:52.399 --> 00:17:53.199
 it comes next

00:17:53.199 --> 00:17:53.919
 in verse 6,

00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:55.379
 I will offer

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:57.340
 sacrifices of joy

00:17:57.340 --> 00:17:59.380
 in his tabernacle.

00:17:59.900 --> 00:18:00.720
 I will sing,

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:01.360
 yes,

00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.360
 I will sing praises

00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:03.160
 to the Lord.

00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:04.400
 Verse 7,

00:18:04.520 --> 00:18:05.440
 Hear, O Lord,

00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.240
 when I cry with my voice,

00:18:07.660 --> 00:18:09.340
 have mercy also upon me

00:18:09.340 --> 00:18:10.600
 and answer me.

00:18:14.120 --> 00:18:14.980
 All of this,

00:18:15.080 --> 00:18:16.000
 David is crying out

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.620
 to the Lord,

00:18:16.900 --> 00:18:17.920
 at least spiritually.

00:18:18.100 --> 00:18:19.560
 He's with the Lord

00:18:19.560 --> 00:18:20.820
 as if it were

00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:21.880
 in the Holy of Holies

00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:22.820
 in the tabernacle.

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:24.619
 But it's in the midst

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:26.159
 of times of trouble.

00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:28.220
 Times of trouble

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:28.759
 are moments

00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:29.299
 when we feel

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:30.439
 so overwhelmed

00:18:30.439 --> 00:18:32.179
 that we start

00:18:32.179 --> 00:18:34.319
 to misinterpret

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.039
 current frustrations

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:37.139
 as if they are going

00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:37.799
 to be permanent

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.359
 threats on us.

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.139
 We've been through that,

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:41.619
 many of you,

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:42.619
 maybe even this week.

00:18:43.159 --> 00:18:43.819
 I feel like

00:18:43.819 --> 00:18:44.859
 I cannot go on

00:18:44.859 --> 00:18:46.000
 one more day

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.879
 with this level

00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:47.599
 of intensity,

00:18:48.179 --> 00:18:49.159
 this much trouble

00:18:49.159 --> 00:18:49.919
 and frustration.

00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.420
 And in my mind,

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.240
 I can start to think

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.039
 there's no light

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:54.019
 at the end of this tunnel.

00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:56.360
 There's no end to it.

00:18:58.539 --> 00:18:59.480
 We can see this

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:00.380
 sometimes more easily

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:00.860
 in others.

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:02.180
 If you work with children,

00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:03.300
 you'll notice a child

00:19:03.300 --> 00:19:03.660
 that's,

00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:04.700
 they're just stuck

00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:06.420
 in that mode of despair.

00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:07.519
 Fight,

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:08.259
 flight,

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:09.000
 or freeze.

00:19:09.259 --> 00:19:10.100
 And they just

00:19:10.100 --> 00:19:11.380
 can't get out of it.

00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:12.440
 Nothing seems to be able

00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:12.980
 to pull them

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:14.360
 to a place of safety.

00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.919
 Maybe you know a person

00:19:17.919 --> 00:19:19.119
 and just seems stuck

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:19.879
 in that for a while

00:19:19.879 --> 00:19:21.159
 like a doom loop

00:19:21.159 --> 00:19:22.259
 where they just,

00:19:22.539 --> 00:19:22.679
 you know,

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:23.919
 one answer is going

00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:24.719
 to be met

00:19:24.719 --> 00:19:26.399
 by another refutation

00:19:26.399 --> 00:19:27.599
 and there's no hope,

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.699
 there's no good answer

00:19:28.699 --> 00:19:30.179
 that I can give this brother

00:19:30.179 --> 00:19:30.939
 or this sister.

00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:31.579
 They're stuck.

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:34.459
 Those are times of trouble

00:19:34.459 --> 00:19:36.059
 that we understand as well.

00:19:38.459 --> 00:19:39.459
 Verse 6 implies

00:19:39.459 --> 00:19:40.639
 that David's head

00:19:40.639 --> 00:19:41.699
 was drooping down.

00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:43.860
 And in this trouble,

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:45.400
 when he's low,

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.140
 what did the Lord

00:19:46.140 --> 00:19:47.259
 minister to David?

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.960
 He says in verse 5,

00:19:50.059 --> 00:19:51.519
 the Lord shall hide me

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:53.900
 in his pavilion.

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.120
 Come to my house, David.

00:19:58.220 --> 00:20:00.299
 Come within my walls.

00:20:01.620 --> 00:20:03.000
 Come be in the secret place

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:04.200
 of my tabernacle.

00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:07.039
 It will be your rock,

00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:08.279
 your fortress.

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.940
 In the holy of holies,

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:14.519
 a place of intimate proximity,

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:16.559
 communion with the Lord.

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:18.460
 Not only will David

00:20:18.460 --> 00:20:19.660
 be kept safe there,

00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:21.119
 what's more,

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:22.339
 we're told in verse 4,

00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:24.899
 while you're safe with me

00:20:24.899 --> 00:20:26.019
 in my presence, David,

00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.259
 you will behold

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:29.139
 my beauty there.

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.980
 There, David says,

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.740
 I will behold

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.839
 the beauty

00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.019
 or the delightfulness

00:20:34.019 --> 00:20:35.220
 of God.

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:35.259
 God.

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.559
 This commentary

00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.500
 was helpful to me.

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:40.100
 The beauty

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.000
 of the Lord

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.900
 to be seen

00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:43.819
 in his house

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.799
 in this life,

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:46.279
 in the tabernacle,

00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:47.019
 in the old covenant,

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.539
 in the church today.

00:20:49.100 --> 00:20:50.140
 It is not the beauty

00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:50.940
 of the essence

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.539
 of God

00:20:51.539 --> 00:20:53.480
 as if we could see

00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:54.799
 God who is spirit

00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:55.480
 with our own

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.759
 physical eyes.

00:20:57.819 --> 00:20:59.059
 No man can see God

00:20:59.059 --> 00:20:59.500
 and live,

00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:01.059
 Exodus 33 tells us.

00:21:01.059 --> 00:21:03.220
 And it's before

00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:04.720
 this essential glory

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.299
 of God

00:21:05.299 --> 00:21:06.500
 that the angels

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:07.539
 have to cover

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.200
 their faces

00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:09.079
 with their wings

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.339
 as Isaiah 6 describes.

00:21:12.179 --> 00:21:12.659
 So what is

00:21:12.659 --> 00:21:13.059
 the beauty

00:21:13.059 --> 00:21:13.679
 of the Lord?

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:15.639
 The beauty

00:21:15.639 --> 00:21:16.220
 of the Lord

00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:17.899
 is a revelation

00:21:17.899 --> 00:21:19.500
 of who he is

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.960
 and what he has done

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.139
 through his word.

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:23.379
 It's the truth

00:21:23.379 --> 00:21:24.399
 of God

00:21:24.399 --> 00:21:25.740
 as our redeemer.

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.839
 This is ministered

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:28.159
 to us

00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:28.879
 through the word,

00:21:29.659 --> 00:21:30.539
 through the sacraments,

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:31.940
 baptism in the Lord's Supper

00:21:31.940 --> 00:21:33.680
 within his church,

00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:34.399
 within the house

00:21:34.399 --> 00:21:35.220
 of God today.

00:21:36.399 --> 00:21:37.339
 There with the eyes

00:21:37.339 --> 00:21:37.960
 of faith

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.119
 by the ministry

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.759
 of the Spirit,

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:41.220
 he enlightens to us

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:42.759
 his goodness,

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:44.180
 his justice,

00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:45.579
 his love,

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:46.940
 and his mercy

00:21:46.940 --> 00:21:48.680
 in Jesus Christ.

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:50.039
 This is the beauty

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:51.139
 of God

00:21:51.139 --> 00:21:52.259
 that he ministers

00:21:52.259 --> 00:21:53.440
 to us by faith.

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:55.319
 And when God

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:56.220
 brings David there

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:56.899
 for safety

00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:57.599
 and to behold

00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:58.259
 his beauty,

00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:00.200
 how does God

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:01.039
 lead David

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.860
 to respond?

00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:04.019
 In verse 4

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:04.559
 we read that

00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:05.080
 the Lord

00:22:05.080 --> 00:22:07.100
 replaced David's fears

00:22:07.100 --> 00:22:08.140
 with this great

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:10.039
 overriding desire.

00:22:11.259 --> 00:22:12.180
 That one thing

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:13.120
 above all others

00:22:13.120 --> 00:22:14.539
 that I desire,

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.380
 that I will seek,

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:16.319
 it's to dwell

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.000
 here

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.080
 in the house

00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:18.700
 of the Lord.

00:22:19.700 --> 00:22:20.120
 The Lord

00:22:20.120 --> 00:22:20.779
 led David

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:22.000
 to inquire

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.259
 in his temple,

00:22:23.580 --> 00:22:25.380
 to be around God,

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:25.860
 to hear

00:22:25.860 --> 00:22:26.920
 more of God,

00:22:27.420 --> 00:22:28.279
 like wave

00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:28.940
 after wave

00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:29.680
 from the ocean,

00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:31.119
 like all of the

00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:31.839
 sand of the shore,

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.000
 the beauty of God,

00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:34.180
 it's immeasurable.

00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:35.099
 We'll never get

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:35.980
 to the bottom of it.

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:37.079
 I want inquire

00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:37.500
 of the Lord.

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:38.160
 I want more

00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:39.359
 and more of him

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:40.759
 in his house.

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:43.019
 In verse 6,

00:22:43.099 --> 00:22:44.119
 the Lord led David

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.639
 therefore to respond

00:22:46.639 --> 00:22:48.039
 with sacrifices

00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:48.960
 of joy

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:50.779
 in God's tabernacle.

00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:51.539
 He says,

00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:52.200
 I will sing,

00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:52.440
 yes,

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:53.379
 I will sing praises

00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:54.560
 to the Lord.

00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:55.920
 The Lord

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.520
 leads his people

00:22:57.520 --> 00:22:58.020
 like David

00:22:58.020 --> 00:22:58.940
 to cry out,

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:00.260
 desiring this

00:23:00.260 --> 00:23:00.900
 from God

00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:02.160
 and praying

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:02.580
 that God

00:23:02.580 --> 00:23:03.220
 will hear us

00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:03.800
 in return.

00:23:04.800 --> 00:23:05.260
 Verse 7,

00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:05.880
 Hear, O Lord,

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:06.440
 when I cry

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:07.200
 with my voice,

00:23:07.560 --> 00:23:08.800
 have mercy upon me,

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:09.760
 answer me.

00:23:10.620 --> 00:23:11.320
 It's a communion

00:23:11.320 --> 00:23:11.840
 with God

00:23:11.840 --> 00:23:12.640
 that's reciprocal.

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:14.200
 The Lord reveals

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:15.100
 who he is to us.

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.080
 We respond

00:23:16.080 --> 00:23:16.640
 with joy.

00:23:17.340 --> 00:23:17.580
 He says,

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.180
 Hear me, Lord,

00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:19.140
 when I cry to mercy

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:20.260
 and let me know

00:23:20.260 --> 00:23:20.960
 that you have heard

00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:21.440
 my prayer.

00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:24.820
 In times of trouble,

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.900
 in Jesus Christ,

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:28.300
 according to Hebrews 10,

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:29.560
 we need to remember

00:23:29.560 --> 00:23:31.060
 that through the ministry

00:23:31.060 --> 00:23:31.940
 of our Lord Jesus,

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:33.880
 we too approach

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:34.760
 with boldness

00:23:34.760 --> 00:23:36.100
 our holy God

00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:37.660
 in the holy of holies

00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:39.120
 by the blood of Jesus,

00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:41.120
 by a new and living way

00:23:41.120 --> 00:23:42.680
 which he has consecrated

00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:43.300
 for us

00:23:43.300 --> 00:23:44.320
 through the veil

00:23:44.320 --> 00:23:45.440
 that is his flesh

00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:46.740
 and we have him,

00:23:46.900 --> 00:23:47.600
 Jesus Christ,

00:23:47.780 --> 00:23:48.940
 as our high priest

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:50.720
 over the house of God

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.540
 and so through Christ

00:23:52.540 --> 00:23:53.280
 we draw near

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:54.619
 with a true heart

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:56.039
 in full assurance

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:57.059
 of faith.

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:59.319
 In Jesus Christ,

00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:00.279
 brothers and sisters,

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:03.299
 we find the mercy of God.

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.980
 In Jesus Christ,

00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:06.899
 we behold the beauty

00:24:06.899 --> 00:24:08.079
 of our creator.

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.559
 Our Lord Jesus

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:11.960
 heals his people

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:12.940
 from our fear

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:14.940
 and he stirs in us

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:16.299
 a response of joy.

00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.660
 So we who know

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:19.559
 times of trouble,

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:21.319
 we love to be

00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:22.639
 in the house of God

00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.120
 in the midst

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:23.900
 of those troubles.

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:25.340
 There's nowhere else

00:24:25.340 --> 00:24:26.460
 we want to be.

00:24:26.860 --> 00:24:27.920
 This is the one place

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.620
 we desire

00:24:28.620 --> 00:24:30.060
 because here

00:24:30.060 --> 00:24:30.759
 God's people

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.259
 celebrate Christ's

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:34.660
 sacrifice for us

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.380
 with joy.

00:24:36.120 --> 00:24:37.060
 When we gather

00:24:37.060 --> 00:24:37.740
 in his name

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.400
 as a church,

00:24:38.820 --> 00:24:39.640
 we shout

00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:40.580
 and we sing

00:24:40.580 --> 00:24:41.400
 like we do

00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:42.180
 nowhere else.

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:45.860
 we remember

00:24:45.860 --> 00:24:45.860


00:24:45.860 --> 00:24:47.299
 our Lord

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:48.720
 in praises

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:50.000
 and songs

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.299
 that magnify

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:52.480
 who he is to us.

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:55.160
 In our trouble,

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:56.060
 we need to be

00:24:56.060 --> 00:24:57.000
 in the house

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:57.700
 of the Lord.

00:24:59.100 --> 00:24:59.940
 Who else needs

00:24:59.940 --> 00:25:00.759
 to be in the house

00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:01.299
 of the Lord?

00:25:02.860 --> 00:25:03.560
 Number three,

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.279
 we who know

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:04.799
 what it is

00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:05.960
 to feel abandoned,

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.320
 we need to be

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:07.880
 in the house

00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:08.519
 of the Lord.

00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.619
 We who know

00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:11.099
 what it is

00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:11.700
 to feel

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.920
 abandoned

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:13.660
 or rejected,

00:25:14.059 --> 00:25:14.859
 we need to be

00:25:14.859 --> 00:25:15.480
 in the house

00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:16.059
 of the Lord.

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.099
 In verse 8,

00:25:18.180 --> 00:25:18.839
 David says,

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:21.839
 When you said,

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:22.980
 seek my face,

00:25:23.139 --> 00:25:24.460
 my heart said to you,

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:25.420
 your face,

00:25:25.619 --> 00:25:25.900
 Lord,

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:27.139
 I will seek.

00:25:27.940 --> 00:25:28.559
 Do not hide

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:29.440
 your face from me.

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.299
 Do not turn

00:25:30.299 --> 00:25:31.059
 your servant away

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:31.500
 in anger,

00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:32.660
 for you have been

00:25:32.660 --> 00:25:33.160
 my help.

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:34.700
 Do not leave me

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.759
 nor forsake me,

00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:37.299
 O God of my salvation.

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:39.559
 In verse 10,

00:25:39.639 --> 00:25:40.259
 he describes

00:25:40.259 --> 00:25:41.240
 what it would be like

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:42.139
 if God were

00:25:42.139 --> 00:25:42.980
 to forsake him.

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.139
 We know that David

00:25:45.139 --> 00:25:46.339
 had a father,

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:46.779
 Jesse,

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.899
 who seems to have

00:25:47.899 --> 00:25:48.579
 feared the Lord,

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:49.519
 so David was not

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:50.379
 a literal orphan,

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:52.599
 but David knew

00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:53.180
 rejection.

00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.500
 And many of us

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:56.539
 know rejection

00:25:56.539 --> 00:25:57.460
 and abandonment.

00:25:58.379 --> 00:25:59.480
 Even some of the

00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:00.779
 physiological symptoms

00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:02.000
 of trauma

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.720
 or rejection

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.980
 that a person

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:04.460
 has suffered

00:26:04.460 --> 00:26:05.480
 in childhood

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.879
 still affect us

00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:07.480
 as adults.

00:26:09.280 --> 00:26:10.140
 The pain of

00:26:10.140 --> 00:26:10.600
 rejection

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:11.220
 lingers.

00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:13.240
 David compares

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:14.200
 the rejection

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:14.920
 that he had

00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:15.920
 experienced

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:17.900
 to the most

00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:18.820
 powerful imagery

00:26:18.820 --> 00:26:19.380
 available,

00:26:19.620 --> 00:26:20.300
 to being an

00:26:20.300 --> 00:26:21.120
 orphan child.

00:26:22.800 --> 00:26:23.960
 And he cries out

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:24.800
 in verse 9,

00:26:24.940 --> 00:26:25.340
 Do not

00:26:25.340 --> 00:26:27.440
 turn your servant

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:27.920
 away,

00:26:28.080 --> 00:26:28.320
 Lord,

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:29.120
 in anger.

00:26:29.500 --> 00:26:30.360
 Do not leave me

00:26:30.360 --> 00:26:31.260
 nor forsake me.

00:26:32.300 --> 00:26:33.000
 He had seen

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.060
 Saul rise up

00:26:34.060 --> 00:26:34.760
 against God

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.539
 and Saul

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:36.359
 rejected God

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:36.859
 as the king

00:26:36.859 --> 00:26:37.559
 over the people

00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:38.539
 and the Lord

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:39.539
 rejected Saul

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:40.299
 as king.

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:41.640
 David says,

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:41.859
 Lord,

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:42.619
 please don't do

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:42.859
 that.

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:43.839
 Don't reject

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:44.700
 or forsake me.

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.859
 He said,

00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:47.680
 when my father

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.140
 and mother

00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:48.940
 forsake me,

00:26:50.099 --> 00:26:50.640
 I know that

00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.220
 even then,

00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:51.400
 Lord,

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:52.059
 that's not who

00:26:52.059 --> 00:26:52.480
 you are.

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:53.319
 You will still

00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:54.220
 take care of me.

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.619
 The Lord

00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:57.059
 ministers

00:26:57.059 --> 00:26:58.259
 to David

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:59.879
 in that time

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:01.039
 of abandonment

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:01.500
 and feeling

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:02.059
 rejected.

00:27:02.059 --> 00:27:03.399
 in verse 8,

00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:04.179
 God says,

00:27:04.980 --> 00:27:07.279
 seek my face.

00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.319
 It's like God

00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:10.079
 says to David

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:10.579
 and to you

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:10.960
 and me,

00:27:11.639 --> 00:27:12.399
 dear child,

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.000
 like we would

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:13.579
 to one of our

00:27:13.579 --> 00:27:14.460
 own children

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:15.220
 that we love,

00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:17.039
 look me in the

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.399
 eyes.

00:27:18.779 --> 00:27:19.440
 Turn your face

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:19.839
 to me.

00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:23.179
 Seek my face.

00:27:25.419 --> 00:27:26.200
 I remember

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:27.279
 as part of

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:28.240
 training to

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:28.659
 become a

00:27:28.659 --> 00:27:29.339
 foster parent,

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:29.919
 you learn

00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:31.380
 about the

00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:32.320
 powerful connection

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:33.220
 between a

00:27:33.220 --> 00:27:34.200
 child and

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.860
 their parent

00:27:34.860 --> 00:27:35.519
 or an

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.360
 adoptive parent.

00:27:37.560 --> 00:27:38.180
 And the

00:27:38.180 --> 00:27:38.620
 child that's

00:27:38.620 --> 00:27:39.160
 been abandoned

00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:39.880
 or neglected

00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.500
 has serious

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:43.519
 trauma that

00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:44.180
 they've experienced

00:27:44.180 --> 00:27:44.759
 even on their

00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:46.300
 whole nervous

00:27:46.300 --> 00:27:46.800
 system.

00:27:47.600 --> 00:27:48.259
 But when a

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.820
 parent holds

00:27:48.820 --> 00:27:49.460
 that child,

00:27:49.800 --> 00:27:50.420
 no matter the

00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:50.860
 age of the

00:27:50.860 --> 00:27:51.360
 child and

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:52.019
 lets them

00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:53.039
 have face-to-face

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.320
 communication

00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:55.000
 and connection

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:55.960
 with the

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:56.300
 parent,

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:57.940
 the Lord

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.900
 somehow ministers

00:27:58.900 --> 00:27:59.680
 a healing

00:27:59.680 --> 00:27:59.940
 there.

00:28:01.080 --> 00:28:01.740
 Through eye

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.259
 contact,

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:03.940
 facial expression,

00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:05.620
 warm words,

00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:06.940
 warm tone,

00:28:08.940 --> 00:28:09.960
 the parent

00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:10.880
 contributes to

00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:11.440
 the healing

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.320
 of a

00:28:12.320 --> 00:28:12.860
 profoundly

00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:13.960
 traumatized

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.400
 person.

00:28:15.820 --> 00:28:17.080
 The face

00:28:17.080 --> 00:28:17.799
 of the

00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:18.500
 adoptive

00:28:18.500 --> 00:28:18.900
 parent,

00:28:19.320 --> 00:28:19.920
 it helps

00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:20.559
 to regulate

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.200
 the nervous

00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:22.059
 system of

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:23.200
 that orphaned

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.660
 child.

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:26.100
 Face-to-face

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:26.679
 connection

00:28:26.679 --> 00:28:27.319
 reassures

00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:27.980
 that person

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:28.399
 they are

00:28:28.399 --> 00:28:28.919
 safe,

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:29.939
 they are

00:28:29.939 --> 00:28:30.459
 loved,

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.399
 they are

00:28:31.399 --> 00:28:31.980
 cared for.

00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:33.399
 You see,

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:33.839
 the kindness

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.379
 of God

00:28:34.379 --> 00:28:34.859
 in calling

00:28:34.859 --> 00:28:35.339
 David,

00:28:35.679 --> 00:28:36.119
 calling you

00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:36.480
 and me,

00:28:37.199 --> 00:28:37.939
 seek my

00:28:37.939 --> 00:28:38.379
 face,

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:39.959
 commune

00:28:39.959 --> 00:28:40.379
 with me.

00:28:42.059 --> 00:28:42.740
 And how

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:43.179
 does David

00:28:43.179 --> 00:28:43.759
 respond?

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:45.619
 See,

00:28:45.719 --> 00:28:46.559
 God initiates

00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:46.779
 it,

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:47.919
 seek my

00:28:47.919 --> 00:28:48.199
 face,

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:48.539
 David,

00:28:49.199 --> 00:28:49.619
 and then

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:50.379
 David responds

00:28:50.379 --> 00:28:51.039
 by saying,

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:52.219
 Lord,

00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:52.879
 your face

00:28:52.879 --> 00:28:53.279
 I will

00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:53.639
 seek.

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.540
 I love

00:28:55.540 --> 00:28:56.360
 Thomas Goodwin's

00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:56.960
 comment here.

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:59.100
 God speaking,

00:29:00.620 --> 00:29:01.180
 telling us

00:29:01.180 --> 00:29:01.800
 to seek

00:29:01.800 --> 00:29:02.200
 God,

00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:02.740
 to pray

00:29:02.740 --> 00:29:03.360
 to God,

00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:05.220
 is such

00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:05.759
 as his

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:06.580
 speech first

00:29:06.580 --> 00:29:07.120
 was.

00:29:07.259 --> 00:29:07.520
 Think of

00:29:07.520 --> 00:29:07.800
 the very

00:29:07.800 --> 00:29:08.540
 first words

00:29:08.540 --> 00:29:09.160
 God ever

00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.300
 said when

00:29:10.300 --> 00:29:10.800
 he made

00:29:10.800 --> 00:29:11.720
 the world.

00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:13.060
 He said,

00:29:13.280 --> 00:29:13.640
 let there be

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:14.160
 light and

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.560
 there was

00:29:14.560 --> 00:29:14.840
 light.

00:29:15.620 --> 00:29:16.160
 So here

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:16.920
 God says,

00:29:17.340 --> 00:29:17.800
 let there be

00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:18.720
 prayer and

00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:19.040
 there is

00:29:19.040 --> 00:29:19.420
 prayer.

00:29:21.020 --> 00:29:21.759
 That is,

00:29:21.840 --> 00:29:22.340
 he pours

00:29:22.340 --> 00:29:23.000
 upon a

00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:23.420
 person,

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:24.019
 a spirit

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:24.640
 of grace

00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:25.660
 and supplication,

00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:26.440
 a praying

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.019
 spirit.

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.180
 He heats

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:28.820
 up and

00:29:28.820 --> 00:29:29.500
 enlarges

00:29:29.500 --> 00:29:30.480
 our affections

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:31.200
 with a

00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:31.600
 longing

00:29:31.600 --> 00:29:32.340
 to be

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:32.660
 alone

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:33.279
 with God,

00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:34.340
 to pour

00:29:34.340 --> 00:29:34.840
 out the

00:29:34.840 --> 00:29:35.240
 soul to

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:35.560
 God.

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:36.880
 And God

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:37.580
 does this

00:29:37.580 --> 00:29:38.240
 in his

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.600
 children

00:29:38.600 --> 00:29:39.080
 that he's

00:29:39.080 --> 00:29:39.560
 adopted

00:29:39.560 --> 00:29:41.259
 until you

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:41.740
 and I

00:29:41.740 --> 00:29:42.480
 commune

00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:42.940
 with him

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:43.800
 in prayer.

00:29:45.800 --> 00:29:46.340
 His

00:29:46.340 --> 00:29:46.800
 encouragement

00:29:46.800 --> 00:29:47.240
 is when

00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:47.560
 the Lord

00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:48.060
 is doing

00:29:48.060 --> 00:29:48.500
 that to

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:48.779
 you,

00:29:49.580 --> 00:29:49.800
 through

00:29:49.800 --> 00:29:50.140
 whatever

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:50.620
 means it

00:29:50.620 --> 00:29:50.920
 takes,

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:51.320
 causing

00:29:51.320 --> 00:29:51.759
 you to

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.200
 seek

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:53.019
 the face

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:53.359
 of your

00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:53.859
 creator.

00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:55.660
 Observe

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.900
 such times

00:29:56.900 --> 00:29:58.200
 and do

00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:58.420
 it.

00:29:59.079 --> 00:29:59.480
 Don't

00:29:59.480 --> 00:29:59.879
 neglect

00:29:59.879 --> 00:30:00.180
 it.

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.680
 Strike

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:02.059
 while the

00:30:02.059 --> 00:30:02.539
 iron is

00:30:02.539 --> 00:30:02.900
 hot.

00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:04.079
 This is

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.660
 a special

00:30:04.660 --> 00:30:05.680
 opportunity.

00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:06.740
 God

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.519
 has called

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:08.359
 you to

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:09.200
 seek his

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.980
 face.

00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.240
 It's

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.619
 God's

00:30:12.619 --> 00:30:13.099
 fatherly

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:13.559
 love and

00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:13.980
 care that

00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:14.519
 lead David

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:15.339
 to desire

00:30:15.339 --> 00:30:16.039
 and to

00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:16.619
 ask for

00:30:16.619 --> 00:30:17.559
 more of

00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:17.859
 this

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:18.619
 communion

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:19.319
 with God.

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:20.879
 In

00:30:20.879 --> 00:30:21.480
 verse 9,

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.120
 he asks

00:30:22.120 --> 00:30:22.620
 do not

00:30:22.620 --> 00:30:22.839
 hide

00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:23.000
 your

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:23.279
 face

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.480
 from

00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:23.660
 me.

00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:25.079
 The

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:25.259
 Lord

00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:25.620
 has

00:30:25.620 --> 00:30:25.940
 taught

00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:26.259
 David

00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:26.460
 that

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:26.599
 he

00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:26.759
 is

00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.259
 trustworthy.

00:30:28.220 --> 00:30:28.440
 The

00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:28.579
 Lord

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:28.779
 has

00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:29.019
 taught

00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:29.299
 David

00:30:29.299 --> 00:30:29.500
 that

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:29.660
 he

00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:29.920
 will

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.279
 not

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:31.039
 abandon

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:31.420
 him.

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:32.880
 Instead,

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.200
 the

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:33.380
 Lord

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:33.779
 does

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:34.460
 for

00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:34.759
 David

00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:34.960
 what

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:35.079
 he

00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:35.279
 does

00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:35.640
 for you

00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:35.779
 and

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:36.000
 me.

00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:36.599
 As a

00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:36.839
 loving

00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:37.319
 father,

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:37.839
 he

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.220
 causes

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.480
 us

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:38.759
 to

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:39.480
 commune

00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:39.660
 with

00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:39.920
 God,

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:40.480
 to walk

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:40.700
 with

00:30:40.700 --> 00:30:41.039
 God.

00:30:41.900 --> 00:30:42.099
 And

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:42.200
 the

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:42.620
 response

00:30:42.620 --> 00:30:42.819
 in

00:30:42.819 --> 00:30:43.000
 verse

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:43.640
 11 is

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:43.900
 David

00:30:43.900 --> 00:30:44.259
 says,

00:30:44.420 --> 00:30:44.599
 teach

00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:44.779
 me

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.039
 your

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:45.319
 way,

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:45.660
 Lord.

00:30:46.099 --> 00:30:46.380
 Show

00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:46.620
 me

00:30:46.620 --> 00:30:47.000
 how

00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:55.620
 so

00:30:55.620 --> 00:30:55.799
 when

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:55.960
 you

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.099
 and

00:30:56.099 --> 00:30:56.259
 I

00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:56.620
 also

00:30:56.620 --> 00:30:57.039
 feel

00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:57.660
 abandoned,

00:30:58.360 --> 00:30:58.799
 rejected,

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.059
 or

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.660
 forsaken,

00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:01.160
 Jesus

00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:01.660
 Christ

00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:04.740
 Remember

 Jesus

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.480
 said,

00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:15.339
 He

00:31:15.339 --> 00:31:15.500

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:19.640
 when

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:45.359
 heart

00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:46.440
 unless

00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:47.379
 I

00:32:47.379 --> 00:32:47.640
 have

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:48.200
 believed

00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:48.900
 that

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.200
 I

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:49.400
 would

00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:49.599
 see

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:49.819
 the

00:32:49.819 --> 00:32:50.059
 goodness

00:32:50.059 --> 00:32:50.319
 of

00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:50.480
 the

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:50.720
 Lord

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:50.900
 in

00:32:50.900 --> 00:32:51.039
 the

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:51.279
 land

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.420
 of

00:32:51.420 --> 00:32:51.559
 the

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:51.839
 living.

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.500
 David

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:54.799
 says,

00:32:54.879 --> 00:32:55.000
 I'm

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:55.299
 weak.

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:56.559
 My

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:56.859
 faith

00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:57.039
 is

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.319
 weak.

00:32:58.000 --> 00:32:58.240
 But

00:32:58.240 --> 00:32:58.440
 it's

00:32:58.440 --> 00:32:58.680
 this

00:32:58.680 --> 00:32:59.099
 promise

00:32:59.099 --> 00:32:59.400
 from

00:32:59.400 --> 00:32:59.599
 the

00:32:59.599 --> 00:32:59.920
 Lord

00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:01.259
 that

00:33:01.259 --> 00:33:01.660
 what

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:01.900
 my

00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:02.319
 soul

00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:03.339
 experiences

00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:03.740
 now

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:03.940
 by

00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:04.420
 faith,

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:05.119
 I

00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:05.279
 will

00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:05.539
 get

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:05.759
 to

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:05.960
 know

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:06.220
 this

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:06.579
 fully

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:06.879
 one

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:07.099
 day.

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:08.179
 I

00:33:08.179 --> 00:33:08.480
 will

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:08.939
 see

00:33:08.939 --> 00:33:09.439
 the

00:33:09.439 --> 00:33:09.779
 goodness

00:33:09.779 --> 00:33:10.219
 of

00:33:10.219 --> 00:33:10.359
 the

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:10.699
 Lord

00:33:10.699 --> 00:33:11.459
 in

00:33:11.459 --> 00:33:11.599
 the

00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:11.819
 land

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:11.939
 of

00:33:11.939 --> 00:33:12.039
 the

00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:12.299
 living.

00:33:13.659 --> 00:33:14.099
 But

00:33:14.099 --> 00:33:14.199
 he

00:33:14.199 --> 00:33:14.399
 says,

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:14.539
 I'm

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:14.699
 not

00:33:14.699 --> 00:33:14.799
 in

00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:14.939
 the

00:33:14.939 --> 00:33:15.119
 land

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:15.240
 of

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.339
 the

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:15.559
 living

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:15.899
 yet.

00:33:16.779 --> 00:33:17.000
 So

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:17.219
 what's

00:33:17.219 --> 00:33:17.379
 the

00:33:17.379 --> 00:33:17.699
 opposite

00:33:17.699 --> 00:33:17.899
 of

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:18.019
 the

00:33:18.019 --> 00:33:18.199
 land

00:33:18.199 --> 00:33:18.319
 of

00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:18.419
 the

00:33:18.419 --> 00:33:18.659
 living?

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:19.879
 It's

00:33:19.879 --> 00:33:20.039
 the

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:20.399
 land

00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:20.959
 of

00:33:20.959 --> 00:33:21.099
 the

00:33:21.099 --> 00:33:21.439
 dying.

00:33:22.699 --> 00:33:23.039
 There's

00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:23.219
 either

00:33:23.219 --> 00:33:23.500
 this

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.859
 age

00:33:23.859 --> 00:33:24.359
 or

00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:24.539
 the

00:33:24.539 --> 00:33:24.740
 age

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:24.939
 to

00:33:24.939 --> 00:33:25.219
 come.

00:33:25.939 --> 00:33:26.159
 We're

00:33:26.159 --> 00:33:26.319
 not

00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:26.519
 yet

00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:26.639
 in

00:33:26.639 --> 00:33:26.740
 the

00:33:26.740 --> 00:33:26.899
 age

00:33:26.899 --> 00:33:27.099
 to

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:27.419
 come,

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:27.939
 the

00:33:27.939 --> 00:33:28.139
 land

00:33:28.139 --> 00:33:28.240
 of

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.359
 the

00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:28.559
!

00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:28.759
 We're

00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:28.980
 still

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.159
 in

00:33:29.159 --> 00:33:29.399
 this

00:33:29.399 --> 00:33:30.079
 present

00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:30.460
 evil

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:30.960
 age,

00:33:31.259 --> 00:33:31.379
 what

00:33:31.379 --> 00:33:31.659
 scripture

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:32.059
 calls

00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:32.240
 it.

00:33:33.159 --> 00:33:33.259
 And

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.379
 in

00:33:33.379 --> 00:33:33.579
 this

00:33:33.579 --> 00:33:33.899
 time,

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:34.740
 verse 14,

00:33:35.439 --> 00:33:35.720
 David

00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:36.639
 instructs

00:33:36.639 --> 00:33:36.960
 God's

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.299
 people

00:33:37.299 --> 00:33:37.740
 under

00:33:37.740 --> 00:33:37.899
 the

00:33:37.899 --> 00:33:38.299
 inspiration

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:38.519
 of

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.599
 the

00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:38.759
 Holy

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:39.159
 Spirit,

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.319
 wait

00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:41.139
 on

00:33:41.139 --> 00:33:41.279
 the

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:41.579
 Lord,

00:33:42.439 --> 00:33:42.720
 be

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:42.899
 of

00:33:42.899 --> 00:33:43.139
 good

00:33:43.139 --> 00:33:43.619
 courage,

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:44.339
 and

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:44.599
 he

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:44.919
 shall

00:33:44.919 --> 00:33:45.500
 strengthen

00:33:45.500 --> 00:33:46.220
 your

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:46.639
 heart.

00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:47.679
 Wait,

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:48.279
 I say,

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:48.879
 on

00:33:48.879 --> 00:33:49.019
 the

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:49.299
 Lord.

00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:54.339
 David

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:54.599
 is

00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:55.339
 confessing

00:33:55.339 --> 00:33:55.619
 that

00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:55.980
 the

00:33:55.980 --> 00:33:56.259
 people

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:56.460
 of

00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:56.699
 God

00:33:56.699 --> 00:33:56.879
 are

00:33:56.879 --> 00:33:57.279
 weak

00:33:57.279 --> 00:33:57.839
 people,

00:33:58.659 --> 00:33:59.399
 but

00:33:59.399 --> 00:33:59.559
 the

00:33:59.559 --> 00:33:59.859
 Lord

00:33:59.859 --> 00:34:01.059
 loves

00:34:01.059 --> 00:34:01.299
 to

00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:01.679
 minister

00:34:01.679 --> 00:34:02.119
 his

00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:02.579
 strength

00:34:02.579 --> 00:34:02.819
 to

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:03.099
 weak

00:34:03.099 --> 00:34:03.460
 people

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:03.740
 like

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:03.899
 you

00:34:03.899 --> 00:34:04.039
 and

00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:04.220
 me.

00:34:05.099 --> 00:34:05.659
 Here's

00:34:05.659 --> 00:34:05.839
 the

00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:06.200
 truth

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:07.019
 that

00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:07.240
 David

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.839
 receives

00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:08.059
 and

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:08.539
 preaches

00:34:08.539 --> 00:34:08.779
 to

00:34:08.779 --> 00:34:09.179
 us.

00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.019
 Unless

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:11.400
 we

00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:11.960
 believe

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.659
 that

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:12.779
 we

00:34:12.779 --> 00:34:12.960
 will

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.179
 see

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:13.380
 the

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:13.619
 goodness

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:13.880
 of

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.039
 the

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:14.380
 Lord

00:34:14.380 --> 00:34:15.299
 one

00:34:15.299 --> 00:34:15.539
 day

00:34:15.539 --> 00:34:15.679
 in

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:15.799
 the

00:34:15.799 --> 00:34:16.139
 eternal

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:16.579
 state,

00:34:16.779 --> 00:34:17.059
 we

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:17.400
 will

00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:17.699
 lose

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:18.059
 heart

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.599
 in

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:18.779
 this

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.159
 life.

00:34:19.779 --> 00:34:19.980
 There

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:20.179
 will

00:34:20.179 --> 00:34:20.320
 be

00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:20.539
 no

00:34:20.539 --> 00:34:20.880
 hope.

00:34:21.219 --> 00:34:21.299
 We

00:34:21.299 --> 00:34:21.579
 should

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:22.179
 despair

00:34:22.179 --> 00:34:22.699
 if

00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:22.840
 we

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.019
 don't

00:34:23.019 --> 00:34:23.279
 have

00:34:23.279 --> 00:34:23.639
 that

00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:24.519
 promise

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:25.239
 and

00:34:25.239 --> 00:34:25.380
 we

00:34:25.380 --> 00:34:25.559
 know

00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:25.759
 it's

00:34:25.759 --> 00:34:25.980
 ours

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.239
 in

00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:26.539
 Jesus.

00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:27.699
 You

00:34:27.699 --> 00:34:28.000
 will

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:28.359
 see

00:34:28.359 --> 00:34:28.799
 God

00:34:28.799 --> 00:34:30.299
 in

00:34:30.299 --> 00:34:30.439
 the

00:34:30.439 --> 00:34:30.699
 land

00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:30.839
 of

00:34:30.839 --> 00:34:30.960
 the

00:34:31.259 --> 00:34:31.819
 one

00:34:31.819 --> 00:34:32.119
 day.

00:34:33.659 --> 00:34:34.139
 And

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:34.279
 the

00:34:34.279 --> 00:34:34.419
 Lord

00:34:34.419 --> 00:34:34.579
 will

00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:34.819
 use

00:34:34.819 --> 00:34:35.059
 that

00:34:35.059 --> 00:34:35.439
 promise

00:34:35.439 --> 00:34:35.699
 to

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:37.799

00:34:37.799 --> 00:34:38.139
 mine.

00:34:39.699 --> 00:34:40.359
 How

00:34:40.359 --> 00:34:40.539
 did

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:40.719
 the

00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:40.980
 Lord

00:34:42.779 --> 00:34:42.960
 these

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:43.339
 verses?

00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:44.900
 be

00:34:44.900 --> 00:34:45.100

00:34:46.740 --> 00:34:46.960
 Wait

 The

00:34:50.220 --> 00:34:50.539
 Lord

00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:54.019
 You

00:34:54.740 --> 00:34:55.240
 believing

00:34:55.240 --> 00:34:56.079
 in

00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:56.340
 this

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:56.760
 hope.

00:34:58.100 --> 00:34:58.420
 Believe

00:34:58.420 --> 00:34:58.559
 in

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:58.740
 this

00:34:58.740 --> 00:34:59.019
 one

00:34:59.019 --> 00:34:59.320
 thing

00:34:59.320 --> 00:34:59.519
 for

00:34:59.519 --> 00:34:59.740
 which

00:34:59.740 --> 00:35:00.019
 God

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:00.220
 is

 the

00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:01.700
 very

00:35:01.700 --> 00:35:02.079
 end.

00:35:04.600 --> 00:35:05.200
 You

00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:05.559
 wait

00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:06.340
 until

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:06.559
 you

00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:07.740
 the

00:35:07.740 --> 00:35:08.059
 top

00:35:08.059 --> 00:35:09.019
 and

00:35:09.019 --> 00:35:09.120
 you

00:35:09.120 --> 00:35:09.260
 can

00:35:09.260 --> 00:35:09.460
 look

00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:09.760
 back

00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:09.960
 and

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:10.300
 see

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:10.860
 all

00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:11.000
 of

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:11.280
 God's

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:11.860
 providence

00:35:11.860 --> 00:35:13.019
 throughout

00:35:13.019 --> 00:35:13.380
 every

00:35:13.380 --> 00:35:13.980
 trouble

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:14.519
 every

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:14.940
 attack

00:35:14.940 --> 00:35:15.120
 of

00:35:15.120 --> 00:35:15.240
 the

00:35:15.240 --> 00:35:15.519
 enemy

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:16.260
 every

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:16.940
 deep

00:35:16.940 --> 00:35:17.420
 place

00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:17.579
 of

00:35:17.579 --> 00:35:18.200
 abandonment

00:35:18.200 --> 00:35:18.360
 and

00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:18.800
 despair

00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.640
 you

00:35:19.640 --> 00:35:19.980
 wait

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.180
 in

00:35:20.180 --> 00:35:20.380
 this

00:35:20.380 --> 00:35:20.800
 life

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:21.460
 with

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:21.620
 the

00:35:21.620 --> 00:35:21.920
 hope

00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:22.579
 of

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:22.740
 that

00:35:22.740 --> 00:35:23.019
 great

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:23.420
 vision

00:35:23.420 --> 00:35:23.740
 one

00:35:23.740 --> 00:35:24.000
 day.

00:35:25.640 --> 00:35:26.160
 I

00:35:26.160 --> 00:35:26.539
 found

00:35:26.539 --> 00:35:26.920
 myself

00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:27.740
 reflecting

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:28.000
 and

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:28.320
 wondering

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:28.820
 why

00:35:28.820 --> 00:35:29.120
 is it

00:35:29.120 --> 00:35:29.240
 that

00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:29.380
 the

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:29.559
 Lord

00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:29.820
 gives

00:35:29.820 --> 00:35:29.980
 us

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:30.200
 little

00:35:30.200 --> 00:35:30.599
 tastes

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:30.780
 of

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:30.980
 this

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:31.200
 even

00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:31.400
 in

00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:31.579
 this

00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:31.960
 life?

00:35:33.180 --> 00:35:33.480
 Some

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:33.640
 of

00:35:33.640 --> 00:35:33.780
 you

00:35:33.780 --> 00:35:34.000
 will

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:34.280
 use

00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:34.480
 this

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:34.700
 summer

00:35:34.700 --> 00:35:34.940
 to

00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:35.460
 travel

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:35.760
 and

00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.160
 maybe

00:35:36.160 --> 00:35:36.599
 drive

00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:36.820
 going

00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:36.960
 on a

00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:37.140
 long

00:35:37.140 --> 00:35:37.380
 road

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:37.640
 trip

00:35:37.640 --> 00:35:37.860
 like

00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:38.019
 to

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:38.160
 the

00:35:38.160 --> 00:35:38.380
 Grand

00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:38.740
 Canyon

00:35:38.739 --> 00:35:40.059
 and

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:40.719
 the

00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:40.879
 kids

00:35:40.879 --> 00:35:41.000
 are

00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:41.319
 asking

00:35:41.319 --> 00:35:41.699
 a

00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:41.939
 hundred

00:35:41.939 --> 00:35:42.339
 times

00:35:42.339 --> 00:35:42.539
 when

00:35:42.539 --> 00:35:42.679
 we

00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:42.699
 will

00:35:42.699 --> 00:35:43.359
 be

00:35:43.359 --> 00:35:43.539
 there

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:43.619
 are

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:43.699
 we

00:35:43.699 --> 00:35:43.879
 there

00:35:43.879 --> 00:35:44.039
 yet

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:44.199
 how

00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:44.319
 many

00:35:44.319 --> 00:35:44.479
 more

00:35:44.479 --> 00:35:44.819
 minutes

00:35:44.819 --> 00:35:45.459
 and

00:35:45.459 --> 00:35:45.519
 you

00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:45.699
 just

00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:45.879
 tell

00:35:45.879 --> 00:35:46.019
 them

00:35:46.019 --> 00:35:46.219
 it's

00:35:46.219 --> 00:35:46.339
 going

00:35:46.339 --> 00:35:46.399
 to

00:35:46.399 --> 00:35:46.539
 be

00:35:46.539 --> 00:35:46.839
 worth

00:35:46.839 --> 00:35:47.039
 it

00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:47.619
 just

00:35:47.619 --> 00:35:47.839
 wait

00:35:47.839 --> 00:35:48.000
 till

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.119
 we

00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:48.299
 get

00:35:48.299 --> 00:35:48.479
 there

00:35:48.479 --> 00:35:48.619
 you

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:48.739
 get

00:35:48.739 --> 00:35:48.879
 to

00:35:48.879 --> 00:35:49.119
 the

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:49.859
 edge

00:35:49.859 --> 00:35:49.979
 of

00:35:49.979 --> 00:35:50.099
 the

00:35:50.099 --> 00:35:50.319
 Grand

00:35:50.319 --> 00:35:50.639
 Canyon

00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:50.839
 and

00:35:50.839 --> 00:35:51.039
 it's

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:51.199
 so

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:51.419
 much

00:35:51.419 --> 00:35:52.079
 wider

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:52.339
 and

00:35:52.339 --> 00:35:52.579
 deeper

00:35:52.579 --> 00:35:52.779
 than

00:35:52.779 --> 00:35:53.059
 anything

00:35:53.059 --> 00:35:53.239
 I

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:09.359
 keep

00:36:09.359 --> 00:36:09.759
 going

00:36:09.759 --> 00:36:10.859
 and

00:36:10.859 --> 00:36:11.039
 that

00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:11.619
 vision

00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:11.879
 of

00:36:11.879 --> 00:36:12.759
 360

00:36:12.759 --> 00:36:13.939
 the

00:36:13.939 --> 00:36:14.279
 western

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:14.759
 slope

00:36:14.759 --> 00:36:14.979
 the

00:36:14.979 --> 00:36:15.259
 front

00:36:15.259 --> 00:36:15.699
 range

00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:16.219
 as

00:36:16.219 --> 00:36:16.559
 far

00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:16.699
 as

00:36:16.699 --> 00:36:16.819
 the

00:36:16.819 --> 00:36:16.979
 eye

00:36:16.979 --> 00:36:17.139
 can

00:36:17.139 --> 00:36:17.479
 see

00:36:17.479 --> 00:36:17.719
 and

00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:18.139
 you

00:36:18.139 --> 00:36:18.239
 can

00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:18.419
 even

00:36:18.419 --> 00:36:18.839
 imagine

00:36:18.839 --> 00:36:19.039
 a

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:19.159
 little

00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:19.459
 beyond

00:36:19.459 --> 00:36:19.759
 that

00:36:19.759 --> 00:36:20.199
 it

00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:20.379
 was

00:36:20.379 --> 00:36:20.679
 worth

00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:21.039
 waiting

00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:21.759
 till

00:36:21.759 --> 00:36:21.899
 we

00:36:21.899 --> 00:36:22.099
 got

00:36:22.099 --> 00:36:22.359
 there

00:36:22.359 --> 00:36:25.279
 it

00:36:25.279 --> 00:36:25.459
 will

00:36:25.459 --> 00:36:25.879
 all
