WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.719
 unite our hearts in reverent fear of you and satisfy our hearts in your steadfast love

00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:11.320
 we ask and praise things in jesus name amen

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:17.980
 psalm 91 if we're honest think as we were reading that

00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:23.260
 we attempt to think it just sounds too good to be true doesn't it

00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:31.120
 no it almost reminds me of them a manifesto a political party might bring out the run-up to

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.640
 an election and you read these promises they they say they'll do if they're elected and you think

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.719
 no danger is that gonna happen now i wonder if you're the same response as you read the psalm

00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:48.579
 you think it sounds too good to be true no danger is this gonna happen to me you see we read this

00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:56.159
 and we know don't we that christians get cancer christians fight anxiety for some of us the

00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:01.119
 thought of being left alone every night to our thoughts it just seems like torture

00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.819
 so what are these promises then in the psalm

00:01:05.819 --> 00:01:12.859
 is it just exaggeration exaggeration poetic license

00:01:12.859 --> 00:01:21.599
 one of the guys on our launch team in charleston owen he was on his on his deathbed a few years ago

00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:29.060
 he was he was waiting on a liver transplant by god's grace he got one he's he's uh he's doing well

00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:34.260
 walking with the lord loving the lord and for him on his deathbed

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:38.880
 psalm 91 when everything to him

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:46.439
 how could that be when we read we read through it

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.460
 no harm will overtake you well what does that mean

00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:57.280
 look at verse 6 know the the person that's that stalks in the darkness of the plague that destroys

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.719
 at midday here's a guy on his deathbed because of sickness

00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.900
 how how did this psalm possibly help him it's a psalm like

00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:10.319
 like some sort of spiritual spinach from popeye

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.280
 you know you're you're feeling fearful you

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:19.000
 you crack open the tin of spinach you read the psalm so to speak and that's it you're fine you have no fear

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.020
 you're able to carry on with whatever comes your way

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:26.039
 well of course you know that's not right

00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:33.539
 see for all of us disaster will come harm will come disease will come

00:02:33.539 --> 00:02:35.079
 terrors will come

00:02:35.079 --> 00:02:41.680
 in order for us to understand this psalm what i think we need to do

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:47.120
 is to look at the psalm through the through the lenses of jesus

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.340
 see these these promises begin to make sense when we look at them through the lens of jesus

00:02:54.340 --> 00:02:56.939
 and when we do that

00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:06.860
 we will see why owen charleston was able to sing this on his deathbed i mean every single word of it

00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:13.320
 so two points for us this evening first off a song for king jesus

00:03:13.320 --> 00:03:17.540
 secondly promises for his people

00:03:17.540 --> 00:03:21.500
 a song for king jesus promises for his people

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:25.380
 let's look at first point a song for king jesus

00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:27.500
 now why do i say that

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:29.800
 well in the psalm just look in verse 3

00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.840
 how often you see the word you

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.420
 he will save you

00:03:35.420 --> 00:03:36.980
 he will cover you

00:03:36.980 --> 00:03:39.040
 you will not fear

00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:41.939
 the things throughout the psalm

00:03:41.939 --> 00:03:44.240
 this this you it's it's singular

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.720
 so who is the individual then

00:03:47.720 --> 00:03:49.980
 that the psalm is talking about

00:03:49.980 --> 00:03:53.020
 who's this individual who's going to receive these promises

00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:58.160
 well like a good maths textbook at school

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.259
 will you flick to the back to see the answer

00:04:00.259 --> 00:04:01.620
 and let's do that now

00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:03.240
 but let's turn to verse 14

00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:04.419
 of this um

00:04:04.419 --> 00:04:07.519
 sorry pardon me i've got a bit of a cold just now

00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:09.579
 first cold in a year i think so

00:04:09.579 --> 00:04:12.340
 forgive me if my voice cracks a bit

00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:13.780
 anyway verse 14

00:04:13.780 --> 00:04:15.439
 look at verse 14 where it says

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.519
 the lord says it's the one who loves me

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.579
 the one who calls on my name

00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:27.540
 here is someone who clings to god wholeheartedly

00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:29.240
 who honors god who

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.700
 god says to this person

00:04:31.700 --> 00:04:33.640
 his promises will be fulfilled

00:04:33.640 --> 00:04:35.140
 to this person

00:04:35.140 --> 00:04:36.460
 i will rescue

00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:40.580
 so who is this person who fulfills this criteria

00:04:40.580 --> 00:04:44.980
 perhaps in your bible like mine

00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:46.180
 you've got a footnote as well

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:47.060
 verse 14

00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:48.840
 that says at the bottom

00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:51.439
 that is probably

00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.379
 the king

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:57.300
 i think it's spot on that the you here

00:04:57.300 --> 00:04:58.860
 that they're talking about is

00:04:58.860 --> 00:04:59.920
 is the king

00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:00.839
 god's king

00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.379
 there's language in the psalm that

00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:05.639
 that echoes language used by david

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.699
 there's there's warlike language

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:08.939
 in the psalm that

00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:11.199
 that's usually applied to the king

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.060
 and in theory

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:15.079
 the king trusts god

00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.040
 knows god

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.360
 follows god

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.219
 and his law

00:05:18.219 --> 00:05:21.459
 you see verse 14 should describe god's king

00:05:21.459 --> 00:05:26.239
 well we read the old testament

00:05:26.239 --> 00:05:27.159
 and see how fell

00:05:27.159 --> 00:05:30.299
 how far they fell short of that

00:05:30.299 --> 00:05:35.259
 but when we come to the new testament

00:05:35.259 --> 00:05:38.620
 the psalm is picked up on again

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:41.000
 and we see even clearer

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.079
 who is the recipient of this psalm

00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.099
 for help of that we turn to

00:05:47.099 --> 00:05:48.879
 i guess you could argue

00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.899
 a master expositor

00:05:50.899 --> 00:05:52.839
 the devil

00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.839
 the devil is the

00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.579
 the great deceiver

00:05:57.579 --> 00:05:59.199
 that doesn't mean he's clueless

00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.379
 when it comes to scripture

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:03.719
 i'm going to keep a finger in psalm 91

00:06:03.719 --> 00:06:06.839
 and turn ahead to luke chapter 4

00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:11.639
 and let me read for us

00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.000
 where jesus has been tempted by satan

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.959
 let me read for us from verse 9

00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.259
 of luke chapter 4

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:21.939
 it says this

00:06:21.939 --> 00:06:23.019
 the devil led him

00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:23.839
 that is jesus

00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:24.959
 to jerusalem

00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:26.120
 and had him stand

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.160
 on the highest point of the temple

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.899
 if you are the son of god

00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:31.379
 he said

00:06:31.379 --> 00:06:33.540
 throw yourself down from here

00:06:33.540 --> 00:06:34.699
 for it is written

00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:36.680
 he will command his angels

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:37.560
 concerning you

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:38.920
 to guard you carefully

00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.439
 they will lift you up in their hands

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.720
 so that you will not strike your foot

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:44.880
 against a stone

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:45.740
 now

00:06:45.740 --> 00:06:48.320
 question

00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:52.120
 what did satan call jesus here

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.920
 did you notice that at the start

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.660
 if you are the son of god

00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:01.880
 now that's a messianic title

00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:04.860
 satan here isn't referring to jesus

00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:07.680
 i don't think as the eternal son of god

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.520
 instead he's using the messianic title

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.219
 of god's promised king

00:07:12.219 --> 00:07:13.839
 like like elsewhere in the songs

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.759
 why is he doing that here

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:18.959
 how do you know that well

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:19.740
 because of what

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:21.079
 satan goes on to quote

00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:21.899
 he goes on to quote

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:22.680
 psalm 91

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:24.479
 a psalm for

00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:25.579
 god's king

00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:28.839
 and satan says here to jesus

00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:29.459
 doesn't he that

00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:31.019
 if you are the son of god

00:07:31.019 --> 00:07:31.500
 that is

00:07:31.500 --> 00:07:33.319
 if you are god's king

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.079
 then psalm 91

00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:36.620
 is for you jesus

00:07:36.620 --> 00:07:38.799
 he's right

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:39.960
 jesus doesn't tell him

00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:41.480
 that he's wrong here

00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.759
 let's follow satan's logic

00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:45.180
 he says

00:07:45.180 --> 00:07:46.759
 if you are god's king

00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:47.639
 then psalm 91

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:48.540
 is yours jesus

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:49.340
 so

00:07:49.340 --> 00:07:50.980
 jump off this building

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:52.960
 and the angels will catch you

00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:54.520
 so no harm comes to you

00:07:54.520 --> 00:07:57.319
 god wouldn't let harm come to his king

00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.560
 he's promised that in psalm 91

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:04.459
 well satan might be spot on

00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:05.879
 and psalm 91

00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:06.899
 is for god's king

00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:08.180
 but he's wrong

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:10.000
 in how he uses a psalm

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.660
 see satan reads this to jesus

00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:14.160
 and says

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.480
 don't go to the cross

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.680
 if god really loved you

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.899
 he wouldn't let you suffer

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:20.779
 look at his promises to you

00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:21.500
 in psalm 91

00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:24.079
 that's the temptation for jesus

00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.259
 don't go the way of the cross

00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:26.740
 go the way of comfort

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:28.779
 and enjoy these promises now

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:32.939
 let's have a look at what his promises are

00:08:32.939 --> 00:08:33.600
 for jesus

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:34.720
 in the psalm

00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:38.039
 turn back to psalm 91 then

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:42.879
 our car insurance

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.139
 needed renewed recently

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:46.259
 and if you can afford it

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.699
 you don't go third party

00:08:47.699 --> 00:08:48.799
 firing theft do you

00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.339
 you go fully comp

00:08:50.339 --> 00:08:52.019
 fully comprehensive

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:54.000
 that's what these promises are here

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.179
 they are fully comp

00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:56.799
 all encompassing

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.519
 nearly every situation in life

00:08:58.519 --> 00:08:59.799
 could throw at you

00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.240
 look at the language of what

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.179
 of what jesus will receive

00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:04.819
 from god

00:09:04.819 --> 00:09:05.460
 the language of

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:05.899
 of

00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:07.179
 of shelter

00:09:07.179 --> 00:09:08.679
 shadow

00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:09.519
 in first one

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.319
 god will be his

00:09:10.319 --> 00:09:11.500
 his refuge

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:11.779
 his

00:09:11.779 --> 00:09:12.980
 his fortress

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:14.059
 in verse two

00:09:14.059 --> 00:09:15.879
 look in verse three

00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:16.279
 some of

00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:17.319
 the threats

00:09:17.319 --> 00:09:18.319
 the king will face

00:09:18.319 --> 00:09:20.699
 the foulest snare

00:09:20.699 --> 00:09:20.939
 that

00:09:20.939 --> 00:09:21.720
 the hidden

00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:22.819
 sneaky threats

00:09:22.819 --> 00:09:24.699
 traps laid by enemies

00:09:24.699 --> 00:09:26.740
 deadly pestilence

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:27.720
 sickness

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.120
 that

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:28.980
 that risks

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:30.019
 overcoming him

00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:33.960
 and didn't jesus face that

00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.120
 the pharisees

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:36.919
 the scribes

00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:37.639
 seeking to lay

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:38.980
 their traps for him

00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:40.779
 the ill

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:41.279
 the sick

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.840
 coming to jesus

00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:46.320
 yet god covered him

00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:47.240
 protected him

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.960
 god's faithfulness

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:50.740
 to his king

00:09:50.740 --> 00:09:52.240
 will be his shield

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.419
 and rampart

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:56.700
 look at verses five

00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:57.200
 and six

00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:57.799
 notice the

00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:59.379
 the language of night

00:09:59.379 --> 00:09:59.960
 and day

00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:00.519
 and then the

00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.460
 the darkness

00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:02.259
 and midday

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:03.560
 he's saying that

00:10:03.560 --> 00:10:03.960
 in the

00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.259
 the stillness

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:06.360
 of the darkest night

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.659
 or the

00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:09.799
 brightness of

00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:10.840
 sunny midday

00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:12.000
 the king

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:12.700
 need not fear

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:15.560
 and look at the things

00:10:15.560 --> 00:10:15.960
 that are

00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.360
 that could cause him

00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:17.759
 to fear

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.139
 people firing

00:10:20.139 --> 00:10:21.120
 arrows at you

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.819
 a plague like

00:10:22.819 --> 00:10:23.299
 sickness

00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:24.360
 which i guess

00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.220
 we can relate to

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:26.580
 terrors at night

00:10:26.580 --> 00:10:27.340
 all of these

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:28.620
 you need not fear

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:30.319
 god saves to his king

00:10:30.319 --> 00:10:34.299
 psalmist goes on

00:10:34.299 --> 00:10:35.200
 to describe god's

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:35.720
 judgments

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:36.860
 that the wicked

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:37.500
 will fall

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:38.860
 evil will be defeated

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:40.740
 and you'll see it all

00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.120
 you'll see

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:43.939
 your enemies

00:10:43.939 --> 00:10:44.679
 fall

00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.460
 and jesus did

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:51.000
 the image continues

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.360
 doesn't it

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.200
 verses 10 onwards

00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:53.400
 the angels

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:54.100
 they'll be like

00:10:54.100 --> 00:10:55.080
 the king's

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.160
 security detail

00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:58.379
 i guess in one sense

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:59.100
 they were for jesus

00:10:59.100 --> 00:10:59.580
 weren't they

00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:01.340
 the garden of gethsemane

00:11:01.340 --> 00:11:01.980
 the night before

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:02.519
 he died

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.560
 on the cross

00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:07.620
 in verse 13

00:11:07.620 --> 00:11:08.060
 you will

00:11:08.060 --> 00:11:09.820
 trample the lion

00:11:09.820 --> 00:11:10.500
 and the serpent

00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:11.280
 god says

00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:12.680
 to his king

00:11:12.680 --> 00:11:16.220
 well what does that mean

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:18.620
 well i think when we get

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:19.639
 this it helps us really

00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:20.960
 unlock the psalm

00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.840
 see the psalm

00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:25.300
 it's it finds

00:11:25.300 --> 00:11:26.180
 its fulfillment

00:11:26.180 --> 00:11:27.160
 in the death

00:11:27.160 --> 00:11:27.820
 and resurrection

00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:29.139
 of jesus

00:11:29.139 --> 00:11:30.040
 and his return

00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:32.720
 let me show you

00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.100
 what i mean

00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:35.820
 jesus faced

00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:37.040
 traps for his enemies

00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:38.200
 and he evaded them all

00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.200
 god fulfilled

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:39.980
 that promise

00:11:39.980 --> 00:11:41.860
 that is until

00:11:41.860 --> 00:11:42.660
 it's time for him

00:11:42.660 --> 00:11:43.920
 to be handed over

00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:45.019
 to die on a cross

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:47.259
 jesus in the gospel

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:48.519
 like jesus is amazing

00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.279
 you read the gospels

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.360
 and he's just

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.039
 unfazed by things

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.279
 he meets a legion

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:54.839
 of demons

00:11:54.839 --> 00:11:55.639
 unfazed

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.819
 there's this massive

00:11:56.819 --> 00:11:57.419
 storm

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:58.479
 unfazed

00:11:58.479 --> 00:12:00.099
 that is

00:12:00.099 --> 00:12:01.439
 until the night

00:12:01.439 --> 00:12:02.099
 before he was

00:12:02.099 --> 00:12:02.740
 due to die

00:12:02.740 --> 00:12:03.659
 on the cross

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:07.360
 jesus enemies

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:07.639
 they

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.939
 they did fall

00:12:08.939 --> 00:12:12.000
 because on the cross

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.820
 he defeated satan

00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:15.779
 the serpent

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:17.820
 an image for the devil

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:19.960
 jesus crushed his head

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:21.139
 as he died

00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:22.179
 on the cross

00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:26.320
 you see jesus is the one

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:27.200
 who verse 14

00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:28.980
 has truly loved god

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:31.059
 he has always trusted god

00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:33.139
 he was always in his favour

00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:33.639
 he was

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:35.379
 he always put his refuge

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.000
 in god

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.620
 see verses 14 to 16

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:41.240
 it's it's eight promises

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:42.139
 from god

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:43.080
 to his king

00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.340
 and did god

00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:47.200
 keep his word

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:47.659
 in them

00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:50.519
 well at first glance

00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:51.360
 it doesn't seem like it

00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:51.820
 does it

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:54.139
 because he died

00:12:54.139 --> 00:12:57.560
 you see the harm

00:12:57.560 --> 00:12:58.500
 that came to jesus

00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:00.340
 wasn't lasting

00:13:00.340 --> 00:13:01.560
 and in fact

00:13:01.560 --> 00:13:02.679
 it was in his harm

00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.159
 that jesus trampled

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.340
 the serpent's head

00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:06.120
 and god

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:07.799
 did rescue him

00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:10.639
 jesus rose

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.339
 from the dead

00:13:11.339 --> 00:13:13.879
 see all these promises

00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:14.620
 we see

00:13:14.620 --> 00:13:15.419
 in verses

00:13:15.419 --> 00:13:17.279
 14 to 16

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.299
 come after

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:19.000
 the resurrection

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:20.779
 he gets these things

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:22.519
 after the resurrection

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.439
 that's when

00:13:23.439 --> 00:13:24.259
 psalm 91

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:24.899
 is fulfilled

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:26.459
 after the cross

00:13:26.459 --> 00:13:27.039
 and resurrection

00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.059
 not before

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:29.419
 as satan

00:13:29.419 --> 00:13:30.839
 tempted jesus

00:13:30.839 --> 00:13:31.299
 to do

00:13:31.299 --> 00:13:33.500
 you see

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:34.479
 look down

00:13:34.479 --> 00:13:35.359
 from verse 14

00:13:35.359 --> 00:13:35.879
 where we see

00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:36.659
 these eight promises

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:39.000
 and hear god himself

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.939
 speaking these

00:13:39.939 --> 00:13:43.919
 says verse 14

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:44.399
 because

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.620
 the king

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:46.500
 clings to me

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:46.899
 in love

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:49.159
 i will rescue him

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.419
 i will

00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:51.439
 protect him

00:13:51.439 --> 00:13:52.539
 for he acknowledges

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:53.120
 my name

00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.179
 the king

00:13:54.179 --> 00:13:55.120
 he'll call on me

00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:56.000
 and i will

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.679
 answer him

00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.259
 i will be with him

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.699
 in trouble

00:13:58.699 --> 00:14:00.459
 i will deliver him

00:14:00.459 --> 00:14:01.159
 i will

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:02.079
 honor him

00:14:02.079 --> 00:14:03.319
 with long life

00:14:03.319 --> 00:14:04.039
 i will

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:05.279
 satisfy him

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:06.419
 and i will

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:07.199
 show him

00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:08.000
 my salvation

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.399
 see god did

00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:11.779
 come through

00:14:11.779 --> 00:14:12.459
 he did answer

00:14:12.459 --> 00:14:13.019
 these promises

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:13.919
 but it was on the

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.579
 far side

00:14:14.579 --> 00:14:15.579
 of resurrection

00:14:15.579 --> 00:14:18.659
 see jesus was

00:14:18.659 --> 00:14:19.559
 rescued

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.220
 he was rescued

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:21.360
 from death

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:22.299
 he was always

00:14:22.299 --> 00:14:23.240
 protected from

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:23.899
 his grip

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:26.019
 jesus is forever

00:14:26.019 --> 00:14:26.740
 with the father

00:14:26.740 --> 00:14:27.779
 he will always

00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:28.679
 answer him

00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.879
 jesus was delivered

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.479
 from death

00:14:31.479 --> 00:14:32.219
 raised to life

00:14:32.219 --> 00:14:33.399
 ascended into

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:33.719
 heaven

00:14:33.719 --> 00:14:34.939
 and he's been

00:14:34.939 --> 00:14:35.579
 honored

00:14:35.579 --> 00:14:37.539
 honored with the

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:38.719
 name above every

00:14:38.719 --> 00:14:39.659
 other name

00:14:39.659 --> 00:14:40.620
 he has life

00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:41.659
 eternal

00:14:41.659 --> 00:14:44.500
 see jesus is the

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.099
 one who is

00:14:45.099 --> 00:14:47.000
 truly the

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.120
 recipients of

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:48.639
 these promises

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.339
 because he is the

00:14:49.339 --> 00:14:50.500
 one who truly

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.579
 loves the father

00:14:51.579 --> 00:14:52.639
 at all times

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.479
 through all things

00:14:53.479 --> 00:14:54.399
 he is the one who

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.939
 is truly faithful

00:14:55.939 --> 00:14:56.519
 to him

00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:02.899
 see when our

00:15:02.899 --> 00:15:04.539
 when our fears

00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:05.579
 scream at us

00:15:05.579 --> 00:15:06.220
 in our face

00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:06.620
 or

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:08.740
 or eat us

00:15:08.740 --> 00:15:09.299
 from the inside

00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:09.759
 out

00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:12.319
 we can be

00:15:12.319 --> 00:15:12.799
 tempted to

00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:13.059
 think

00:15:13.059 --> 00:15:14.819
 if god really

00:15:14.819 --> 00:15:15.379
 loves me

00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:16.240
 then he won't

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.419
 let me suffer

00:15:17.419 --> 00:15:19.519
 after all that's

00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:20.279
 what psalm 91

00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:20.840
 says

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.420
 psalm 91

00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:25.360
 first and foremost

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.660
 isn't a promise

00:15:26.660 --> 00:15:27.280
 for you and I

00:15:27.280 --> 00:15:27.740
 it's a promise

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.440
 for jesus

00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:30.720
 and to promise

00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:31.320
 which he didn't

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:31.980
 receive straight

00:15:31.980 --> 00:15:32.360
 away

00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:33.399
 but said after

00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:34.160
 his resurrection

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:36.980
 see we don't

00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:37.580
 deserve these

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:37.920
 promises

00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:38.920
 we aren't

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:40.060
 always faithful

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:42.180
 we're fitful

00:15:42.180 --> 00:15:43.000
 and failing at

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:43.440
 times

00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.280
 we don't

00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.240
 qualify for

00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:45.540
 them

00:15:45.539 --> 00:15:49.259
 it's the

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:50.000
 amazing thing

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.480
 because

00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:51.639
 jesus went

00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:51.939
 to the

00:15:51.939 --> 00:15:52.279
 cross

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:52.799
 bore the

00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:53.899
 the punishment

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.799
 of the wicked

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:55.459
 bore our

00:15:55.459 --> 00:15:55.919
 punishment

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:57.980
 that when we

00:15:57.980 --> 00:15:58.799
 repent of our

00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.319
 sin when we

00:15:59.319 --> 00:16:00.059
 put our trust

00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:00.759
 in jesus

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.199
 then the

00:16:03.199 --> 00:16:03.759
 psalm becomes

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.259
 yours

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:06.459
 psalm becomes

00:16:06.459 --> 00:16:06.959
 mine

00:16:06.959 --> 00:16:09.099
 it means that

00:16:09.099 --> 00:16:09.719
 these incredible

00:16:09.719 --> 00:16:10.659
 promises become

00:16:10.659 --> 00:16:11.159
 ours

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.100
 some high

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:14.740
 friend Owen

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:15.199
 on his

00:16:15.199 --> 00:16:15.719
 deathbed

00:16:15.719 --> 00:16:18.339
 he was

00:16:18.339 --> 00:16:19.100
 completely

00:16:19.100 --> 00:16:19.699
 right

00:16:19.699 --> 00:16:22.019
 to read

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:22.899
 to sing

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.379
 to pray

00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:24.079
 psalm 91

00:16:24.079 --> 00:16:25.719
 because in

00:16:25.719 --> 00:16:26.459
 christ these

00:16:26.459 --> 00:16:27.259
 promises are

00:16:27.259 --> 00:16:27.799
 his

00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:31.659
 we've looked

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:32.199
 at how this

00:16:32.199 --> 00:16:33.399
 is a song

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:33.819
 for king

00:16:33.819 --> 00:16:34.339
 jesus

00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:35.879
 now let's

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.299
 turn and look

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:36.620
 at some of

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.139
 these promises

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:37.720
 for his

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:38.039
 people

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.740
 i've been

00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:42.319
 reading a

00:16:42.319 --> 00:16:43.039
 book called

00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.379
 rejoice and

00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:45.399
 tremble by

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.419
 mike reese

00:16:46.419 --> 00:16:46.879
 and he makes

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.659
 this fascinating

00:16:47.659 --> 00:16:48.539
 observation i

00:16:48.539 --> 00:16:48.839
 think he's

00:16:48.839 --> 00:16:49.399
 right here

00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:51.000
 he says that

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.079
 never in a

00:16:52.079 --> 00:16:53.620
 society have

00:16:53.620 --> 00:16:54.379
 we been more

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:56.319
 safe and yet

00:16:56.319 --> 00:16:57.679
 never have we

00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:58.240
 been more

00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:58.980
 afraid

00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:02.099
 when i asked

00:17:02.099 --> 00:17:02.679
 on facebook

00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:03.299
 what people

00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:03.779
 feared there

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.720
 was one

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.079
 thing that

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:05.619
 didn't come

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:06.920
 up which

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.799
 should really

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.659
 really have

00:17:08.659 --> 00:17:09.200
 come up

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.079
 see if we

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:12.399
 don't know

00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:13.099
 jesus we

00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:13.480
 should be

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.899
 terrified that

00:17:14.899 --> 00:17:15.680
 satan has a

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:16.259
 hold of us

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:17.700
 terrified that

00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:18.220
 we have an

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:19.220
 eternal judgment

00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:20.000
 waiting us

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.700
 terrified that

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:22.299
 god is going

00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:23.460
 to pour out

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:24.379
 his wrath upon

00:17:24.379 --> 00:17:24.879
 us for all

00:17:24.879 --> 00:17:25.460
 the wrong

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:25.919
 things that

00:17:25.919 --> 00:17:26.379
 we do

00:17:26.379 --> 00:17:28.720
 and the

00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:29.279
 fear of

00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:30.000
 those things

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:31.059
 should eclipse

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:32.579
 every other

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.200
 fear that we

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.559
 have

00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:38.039
 but because

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:39.759
 of jesus we

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:40.679
 don't need to

00:17:40.679 --> 00:17:41.200
 fear those

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:41.940
 things anymore

00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:46.779
 that doesn't

00:17:46.779 --> 00:17:47.279
 mean that

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.879
 fear is

00:17:48.879 --> 00:17:49.720
 completely removed

00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:49.960
 from our

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:50.299
 lives

00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:53.079
 we find that

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:53.799
 for whatever

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:54.460
 reason god

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:55.220
 does sometimes

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.079
 he leads us

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:56.740
 to a place of

00:17:56.740 --> 00:17:57.559
 helplessness

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:58.480
 when we are

00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.179
 forced to

00:17:59.179 --> 00:17:59.700
 realise that

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.319
 when we see

00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:00.839
 that all we

00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:01.460
 have is him

00:18:01.460 --> 00:18:02.940
 we realise

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.220
 that we

00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:03.680
 have all

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.140
 we need

00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:07.620
 let's see

00:18:07.620 --> 00:18:08.480
 how the

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:08.759
 psalmist

00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:09.720
 describes god

00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:10.079
 here

00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.000
 have a look

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:12.480
 at verse

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.360
 one

00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:13.980
 he's described

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:14.340
 as the

00:18:14.340 --> 00:18:15.140
 most high

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:17.539
 no matter

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.120
 how big

00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:18.579
 your fears

00:18:18.579 --> 00:18:18.900
 are

00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:19.460
 how much

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:19.920
 you fear

00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.380
 people and

00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:20.680
 what they

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:21.100
 think

00:18:21.100 --> 00:18:22.000
 he is

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:22.440
 greater

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.059
 he is

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.680
 most high

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:27.840
 he's the

00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:28.200
 most high

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:28.700
 he's the

00:18:28.700 --> 00:18:29.500
 almighty

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.079
 no matter

00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:30.940
 how strong

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:31.440
 your fears

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:31.759
 are

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.660
 he is

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.019
 more

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:33.500
 powerful

00:18:33.500 --> 00:18:34.340
 he is

00:18:34.340 --> 00:18:35.000
 stronger

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.420
 he's the

00:18:37.420 --> 00:18:37.980
 most high

00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:38.460
 he's the

00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:38.860
 almighty

00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:39.960
 he's the

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:40.559
 lord and

00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:41.100
 capitals

00:18:41.100 --> 00:18:41.779
 the covenant

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:42.200
 god

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:42.840
 yahweh

00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:44.559
 this all

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:44.980
 great

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.660
 all powerful

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:46.440
 god is

00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:46.799
 the god

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:47.340
 who makes

00:18:47.340 --> 00:18:47.740
 promises

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.440
 and keeps

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:49.100
 them every

00:18:49.100 --> 00:18:49.519
 time

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.700
 he is the

00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:51.120
 god who

00:18:51.120 --> 00:18:52.080
 knows his

00:18:52.080 --> 00:18:52.340
 people

00:18:52.340 --> 00:18:53.019
 who dwells

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:53.460
 with his

00:18:53.460 --> 00:18:53.799
 people

00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:55.200
 he is the

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:55.519
 god who

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:55.940
 will never

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:56.440
 let us

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:56.680
 down

00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:57.759
 never let

00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.120
 us go

00:18:58.120 --> 00:18:59.160
 never give

00:18:59.160 --> 00:18:59.779
 us up

00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:02.519
 finally he

00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:03.000
 is my

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:03.380
 god

00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:05.220
 this god

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:05.759
 isn't some

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.480
 distant and

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:08.299
 different deity

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:10.279
 the most high

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:10.960
 the almighty

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:12.019
 the lord he

00:19:12.019 --> 00:19:12.900
 is my

00:19:12.900 --> 00:19:13.380
 god

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:15.519
 so what he

00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:16.900
 says to

00:19:16.900 --> 00:19:17.460
 me what he

00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:18.059
 thinks about

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:18.460
 me should

00:19:18.460 --> 00:19:19.340
 shape everything

00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:20.100
 in my life

00:19:20.100 --> 00:19:23.120
 look at the

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:24.420
 metaphors that

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:25.059
 accompany these

00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:25.400
 names

00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:26.440
 shelter

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:26.600
 shelter

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:29.180
 when life

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:30.240
 is chaos

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:30.600
 there is

00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:31.180
 shelter

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:32.580
 protection

00:19:32.580 --> 00:19:34.880
 shadow

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:35.420
 like the

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:36.580
 wings of

00:19:36.580 --> 00:19:37.340
 an eagle

00:19:37.340 --> 00:19:37.860
 over us

00:19:37.860 --> 00:19:38.799
 providing rest

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.100
 from the

00:19:39.100 --> 00:19:39.740
 burning sun

00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:40.279
 a sense of

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:40.880
 sense of

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.580
 closeness

00:19:41.580 --> 00:19:42.100
 with him

00:19:42.100 --> 00:19:45.059
 refuge

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:45.660
 he's a

00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:46.480
 place you

00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:46.920
 can run

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:47.299
 to and

00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:47.620
 know that

00:19:47.620 --> 00:19:47.900
 we are

00:19:47.900 --> 00:19:48.420
 safe

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:52.580
 a fortress

00:19:52.580 --> 00:19:54.440
 think

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:54.799
 edinburgh

00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:55.200
 castle

00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:55.539
 on the

00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:55.740
 hill

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:56.340
 strong

00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:56.900
 and

00:19:56.900 --> 00:19:57.340
 movable

00:19:57.340 --> 00:19:57.900
 protecting

00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:58.799
 everyone

00:19:58.799 --> 00:19:59.340
 inside

00:19:59.340 --> 00:20:00.380
 with walls

00:20:00.380 --> 00:20:00.880
 as thick

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.400
 as I am

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:01.820
 tall

00:20:01.820 --> 00:20:03.519
 this is

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:04.380
 my god

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:05.799
 and in

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:06.180
 him

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:07.420
 I trust

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:11.779
 see just think of that image

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.920
 from verse 4 of being

00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.420
 surrounded by

00:20:14.420 --> 00:20:15.200
 God's wings

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.279
 think of the

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.740
 mother hen

00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:19.920
 and her chicks

00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:20.759
 under her wing

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:22.279
 if heat is burning

00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.000
 down the mother

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:24.160
 dies but the chicks

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:24.980
 live

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:26.319
 if wind is blowing

00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.000
 and rain is

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.220
 pouring

00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:28.840
 the mother

00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:30.360
 freezes but the chicks

00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:31.299
 live

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:32.539
 if a prayer to come

00:20:32.539 --> 00:20:34.160
 she dies but the chicks

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.940
 live

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:36.580
 Jesus has taken

00:20:36.580 --> 00:20:37.580
 the judgment

00:20:37.580 --> 00:20:38.600
 the wrath should have

00:20:38.600 --> 00:20:39.700
 come on us

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:40.660
 but he has protected

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:41.319
 us from us

00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:42.420
 he has taken it

00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:43.240
 so that we

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.380
 might live

00:20:44.380 --> 00:20:46.720
 and how do we know

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:47.900
 that he did that

00:20:47.900 --> 00:20:49.840
 that he took that

00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:50.760
 punishment in full

00:20:50.760 --> 00:20:53.880
 because he rose

00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:54.400
 from the dead

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.320
 because Jesus

00:20:58.320 --> 00:20:58.900
 is risen

00:20:58.900 --> 00:20:59.620
 from the dead

00:20:59.620 --> 00:21:00.500
 we can know

00:21:00.500 --> 00:21:01.020
 that God

00:21:01.020 --> 00:21:02.160
 is not punishing

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:03.500
 you for your sins

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:06.060
 when things come

00:21:06.060 --> 00:21:07.220
 that make you

00:21:07.220 --> 00:21:07.500
 fear

00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:08.360
 God is not

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:09.620
 punishing you

00:21:09.620 --> 00:21:12.460
 just look at the

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:13.260
 end of verse 4

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:17.480
 his faithfulness

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.220
 God's faithfulness

00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:20.519
 not our faithfulness

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:21.519
 to him

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:22.940
 but his faithfulness

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:23.879
 will be our shield

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:25.140
 and rampart

00:21:25.140 --> 00:21:26.240
 and he is always

00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:26.700
 faithful

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:29.640
 he will protect you

00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:30.480
 not from harm

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:31.599
 but through harm

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.279
 even through death

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.819
 itself

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:36.079
 see God is

00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:37.819
 God is with us

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:38.879
 God is for us

00:21:38.879 --> 00:21:39.619
 God has said that

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.440
 he'll be with us

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:41.500
 to the very end

00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:41.940
 of the age

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.900
 and into the next

00:21:42.900 --> 00:21:44.960
 and one day

00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:46.319
 we'll be with him

00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:46.839
 forever

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:48.220
 there'll be no more

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.640
 suffering

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.700
 no more sickness

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.299
 no more enemies

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:52.720
 no more tears

00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.339
 no more fears

00:21:54.339 --> 00:21:57.039
 so you remember

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.519
 on the

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:59.220
 on the cross

00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:00.079
 Jesus crushed

00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:00.960
 the serpent's head

00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:02.200
 he defeated

00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:03.339
 the devil

00:22:03.339 --> 00:22:05.180
 the great lion

00:22:05.180 --> 00:22:06.240
 prowling round

00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:07.680
 as Peter calls him

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:08.660
 in his first letter

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:11.560
 but like Jesus

00:22:11.560 --> 00:22:12.620
 these promises

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:13.980
 in Psalm 91

00:22:13.980 --> 00:22:14.700
 aren't going to be

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:15.540
 fulfilled on this

00:22:15.540 --> 00:22:16.259
 side of death

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:18.440
 instead they help us

00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:19.080
 persevere

00:22:19.080 --> 00:22:20.140
 when we come face

00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:21.100
 to face with death

00:22:21.100 --> 00:22:21.960
 because we've seen

00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:22.480
 the Psalm

00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:23.660
 that God isn't going

00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:24.080
 to keep us

00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:24.980
 from trouble

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:26.480
 but he'll keep us

00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.360
 through trouble

00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:31.340
 he doesn't say

00:22:31.340 --> 00:22:32.440
 no harm will come to you

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:33.080
 he says no harm

00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:34.480
 will overtake you

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.140
 see this Psalm

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:37.880
 is not a promise

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:38.920
 that we won't get hurt

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.980
 it's a promise

00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:40.720
 that ultimately

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.900
 we won't be harmed

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:45.579
 because of the death

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:46.140
 and resurrection

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:46.819
 of Jesus

00:22:46.819 --> 00:22:49.220
 you are never condemned

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:51.500
 never separated

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:53.599
 because God is for you

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:57.160
 so because

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:58.140
 of the death

00:22:58.140 --> 00:22:58.620
 and resurrection

00:22:58.620 --> 00:22:59.319
 of Jesus

00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:01.079
 when we trust in him

00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:02.079
 he looks at you

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:03.980
 and he says

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:05.099
 look down at verse 14

00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:05.980
 he says this to you

00:23:05.980 --> 00:23:06.259
 he says

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:07.899
 because he loves me

00:23:07.899 --> 00:23:09.839
 because she loves me

00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:11.299
 says the Lord

00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:13.659
 I will rescue him

00:23:13.659 --> 00:23:15.279
 I will protect him

00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:16.179
 for he acknowledges

00:23:16.179 --> 00:23:16.740
 my name

00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:18.579
 he will call me

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:20.240
 and I will answer him

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:21.839
 I will be with him

00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:22.240
 in trouble

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:23.960
 I will deliver him

00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:24.579
 and honour him

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:25.899
 I with long life

00:23:25.899 --> 00:23:27.899
 I will satisfy him

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.879
 and show him

00:23:28.879 --> 00:23:29.699
 my salvation

00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:32.799
 his amazing promise

00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:33.600
 for us

00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:37.400
 so what do we do

00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:38.700
 with these promises

00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:39.519
 in the Psalm

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.660
 that we have in Christ

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:42.360
 well three things I think

00:23:42.360 --> 00:23:43.960
 first off

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.600
 know

00:23:44.600 --> 00:23:46.519
 know with confidence

00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:47.700
 that God most high

00:23:47.700 --> 00:23:49.700
 is greater than any fear

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:51.100
 and in him alone

00:23:51.100 --> 00:23:51.920
 there is safety

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:54.519
 this Psalm reminds us

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:57.519
 to take our eyes

00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.779
 off ourselves

00:23:58.779 --> 00:24:00.139
 and to lift us up

00:24:00.139 --> 00:24:01.680
 the great promises

00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.639
 to come in Christ

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:05.420
 know who God is

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:07.920
 second this Psalm

00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.500
 raises our affections

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.379
 and reminds us

00:24:10.379 --> 00:24:11.700
 of God's amazing grace

00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:12.619
 to us in Christ

00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:15.460
 we don't deserve

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:16.099
 these promises

00:24:16.099 --> 00:24:18.519
 but they're ours

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.359
 it's just stir up

00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.299
 love in our hearts

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:22.920
 for Christ

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.940
 and all that he has

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.500
 given us

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:25.779
 in his grace

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:28.980
 but if you're listening

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:30.940
 and you aren't a Christian

00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:31.539
 these promises

00:24:31.539 --> 00:24:32.420
 aren't yours

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:34.019
 you should be scared

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:34.579
 of the judgement

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:35.160
 to come

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:38.099
 so trust in Christ

00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:39.539
 turn from your sin

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:40.899
 and trust in him

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:45.639
 first off

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:46.579
 know who God is

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:47.579
 remember who he is

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:48.639
 secondly

00:24:48.639 --> 00:24:49.500
 have your affections

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.500
 raised to Christ

00:24:50.500 --> 00:24:51.299
 and what he's done

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:51.799
 for us

00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:52.319
 and what we have

00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:52.680
 in him

00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:54.460
 and third

00:24:54.460 --> 00:24:54.759
 I think

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.240
 this Psalm

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.680
 should drive us

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:57.960
 to radical

00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:59.480
 missionary endeavours

00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:01.619
 now what do I mean

00:25:01.619 --> 00:25:02.039
 by that

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.859
 Elizabeth Elliot

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.500
 wrote a book

00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:06.819
 called

00:25:06.819 --> 00:25:07.700
 The Shadow

00:25:07.700 --> 00:25:08.400
 of the Almighty

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:08.819
 of course

00:25:08.819 --> 00:25:09.579
 taking its title

00:25:09.579 --> 00:25:10.259
 from verse 1

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:10.799
 of the Psalm

00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.379
 perhaps you've read

00:25:12.379 --> 00:25:12.779
 the book

00:25:12.779 --> 00:25:13.559
 it's a book

00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:14.319
 about her husband

00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:14.900
 Jim Elliot

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:16.920
 and four other men

00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:18.160
 who on the 8th of January

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.339
 in 1956

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:21.140
 tried to take the gospel

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:23.700
 to an Ecuadorian tribe

00:25:23.700 --> 00:25:24.940
 for the very first time

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:26.580
 and they were killed

00:25:26.580 --> 00:25:31.720
 if you call a story

00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:33.120
 of missionary martyrdom

00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:33.680
 the shadow

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.940
 of the Almighty

00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:36.460
 I think you're saying

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:37.140
 something about

00:25:37.140 --> 00:25:37.860
 Psalm 91

00:25:37.860 --> 00:25:39.580
 you're saying

00:25:39.580 --> 00:25:40.220
 this Psalm

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:41.080
 does not mean

00:25:41.080 --> 00:25:42.019
 that difficult things

00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:43.039
 won't happen to Christians

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:45.440
 you're saying

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.360
 even death

00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:46.920
 may come

00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:47.600
 in the service

00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:48.600
 of Jesus Christ

00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:50.000
 and yet through that

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:50.660
 you remain

00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:51.819
 in the shadow

00:25:51.819 --> 00:25:53.000
 of the Almighty

00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:56.059
 God remains with you

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:58.960
 see Jesus says

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.939
 something similar

00:25:59.939 --> 00:26:01.759
 in Luke's gospel

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.599
 he's teaching his disciples

00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.799
 in chapter 21

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.639
 and he says this

00:26:05.639 --> 00:26:06.460
 from verse 16

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:06.919
 he says

00:26:06.919 --> 00:26:08.399
 you will be betrayed

00:26:08.399 --> 00:26:09.700
 even by parents

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:10.839
 brothers and sisters

00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:12.059
 relatives and friends

00:26:12.059 --> 00:26:13.299
 and they will put

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:14.299
 some of you to death

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:16.079
 everyone will hate you

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:16.779
 because of me

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:18.220
 but not a hair

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:19.019
 of your head

00:26:19.019 --> 00:26:19.939
 will perish

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:22.220
 some of you

00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:22.940
 will die

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:24.279
 Jesus says

00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.180
 but not a hair

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:26.559
 of your head

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.140
 will perish

00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:30.259
 see as we follow

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:30.660
 Jesus

00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:31.160
 yes

00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:32.039
 there are times

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:32.799
 when we will

00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.779
 get hurt

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:36.940
 but because

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:37.720
 of the resurrection

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.460
 of Jesus

00:26:38.460 --> 00:26:39.559
 Psalm 91

00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:40.160
 reminds us

00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:40.799
 that ultimately

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.759
 we will not be harmed

00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.819
 so let's take risks

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:46.379
 for Jesus

00:26:46.379 --> 00:26:49.220
 knowing that God

00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.119
 is great at normal

00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:51.680
 knowing that all

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.119
 that Jesus

00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.059
 has done for us

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:55.099
 let's take risks

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:55.559
 for Jesus

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:56.400
 risks like

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.039
 inviting a work

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:58.420
 colleague

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:59.480
 to read John's

00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:00.220
 gospel with you

00:27:00.220 --> 00:27:01.220
 over your lunch break

00:27:01.220 --> 00:27:03.019
 risks like

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:04.379
 telling your

00:27:04.379 --> 00:27:05.980
 unbelieving spouse

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:06.759
 or parents

00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.480
 perhaps tonight

00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:07.920
 over tea

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.680
 what you heard

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.460
 at church today

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:12.299
 take risks

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:12.960
 for the gospel

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.880
 because the shadow

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:15.000
 of the almighty

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.840
 is over you

00:27:15.840 --> 00:27:18.759
 that's why I'm so

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:19.539
 grateful that you

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.019
 as a church

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.960
 are behind

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:21.880
 church planting

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.420
 see we live

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:25.740
 in a culture

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.259
 of fear

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:27.700
 and we have

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.519
 the only

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.240
 message

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:30.360
 of hope

00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:31.539
 and refuge

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:34.720
 so let's tell

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:35.100
 people

00:27:35.099 --> 00:27:38.819
 let me close

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.759
 in prayer

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.099
 together

00:27:40.099 --> 00:27:40.719
 let's pray

00:27:40.719 --> 00:27:43.899
 our father

00:27:43.899 --> 00:27:44.439
 we thank you

00:27:44.439 --> 00:27:45.119
 for these amazing

00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.039
 promises in

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:47.619
 the Lord Jesus

00:27:47.619 --> 00:27:48.059
 Christ

00:27:48.059 --> 00:27:48.759
 that we have

00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:49.519
 in him

00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:53.799
 father

00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:54.459
 sorry for times

00:27:54.459 --> 00:27:54.839
 we've become

00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:55.559
 so focused

00:27:55.559 --> 00:27:56.019
 on ourselves

00:27:56.019 --> 00:27:56.639
 we forget

00:27:56.639 --> 00:27:57.539
 how great

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:58.179
 you are

00:27:58.179 --> 00:27:59.079
 and all the

00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.399
 promises

00:27:59.399 --> 00:28:00.000
 that we have

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:00.659
 in Christ

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:04.500
 father

00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:04.840
 for those

00:28:04.840 --> 00:28:05.100
 of us

00:28:05.100 --> 00:28:05.480
 this evening

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:05.880
 who are

00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:06.259
 suffering

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:08.400
 who are

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.840
 fearful

00:28:08.840 --> 00:28:13.279
 may they

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:13.759
 know your

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.279
 love for them

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:14.800
 this evening

00:28:14.800 --> 00:28:17.360
 that you are

00:28:17.360 --> 00:28:17.840
 for them

00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:18.320
 that you are

00:28:18.320 --> 00:28:18.920
 with them

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.700
 even through

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:21.320
 death itself

00:28:21.320 --> 00:28:21.740
 you will be

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:22.160
 there with

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:22.360
 them

00:28:22.360 --> 00:28:22.900
 and these

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:23.279
 promises

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.980

00:28:56.980 --> 00:28:57.519
 we live

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:58.099
 as people

00:28:58.099 --> 00:28:58.399

00:28:58.399 --> 00:28:58.779
 shadow

00:28:58.779 --> 00:28:59.759
 of the

00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:00.139

00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:03.560
 we thank

 you Lord

00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:04.259
 Jesus

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:05.540
 for the

00:29:05.540 --> 00:29:05.940
 cross

00:29:05.940 --> 00:29:07.060
 and it

00:29:07.060 --> 00:29:07.140
 is in

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:07.440
 your name

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:22.599
 my soul

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:23.559

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:24.480

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:25.359
 alone

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.139
 my rock

00:29:27.139 --> 00:29:27.980

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:29.299
 salvation

00:29:29.299 --> 00:29:31.639

00:29:31.639 --> 00:29:32.420
 strong

00:29:32.420 --> 00:29:33.700
 against my

 foes

00:29:34.639 --> 00:29:35.899
 and I

00:29:35.899 --> 00:29:36.779

00:29:36.779 --> 00:29:38.180

00:29:38.180 --> 00:29:40.360

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:41.259
 may bless

00:29:41.259 --> 00:29:42.220
 and hearts

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:43.539
 may curse

00:29:43.539 --> 00:29:44.980
 and lies

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:46.060
 like arrows

00:29:46.060 --> 00:29:47.779
 pierce me

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:49.279
 I'll fix

 my heart

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:51.660

 I'll look

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.720

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.019
 who hears

00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.980

 the world's

00:30:34.259 --> 00:30:35.960
 temptations

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.180
 when evil

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:39.139
 seeks to

00:30:39.139 --> 00:30:40.220
 take a

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:41.160

00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:42.460
 I'll cling
