00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.299
 We're going to be in Psalm 11, and as you're going there, I'll open this up with a prayer,

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:08.660
 and then we can take a look at that Psalm.

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.740
 God, we just come before you this evening, and God, I just ask that you would just still

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:21.559
 our hearts before you, and that as we come and reflect on your word, God, that we would

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.359
 be available to you.

00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:29.800
 And God, I ask as we pray afterwards and worship afterwards, God, that we would do so with

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:35.780
 a spirit that is receptive towards you, and that, God, we would do it in a way that is

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:40.460
 honoring to you, God, in a way that seeks your glory and not our own.

00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:41.659
 We ask all this in your name.

00:00:41.939 --> 00:00:42.159
 Amen.

00:00:42.460 --> 00:00:42.700
 Amen.

00:00:45.460 --> 00:00:45.900
 Great.

00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:47.719
 Let me read Psalm 11 for us.

00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.079
 In the Lord I take refuge.

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.480
 How can you say to my soul, flee like a bird to your mountain?

00:00:56.859 --> 00:00:58.760
 For behold, the wicked bend the bow.

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:04.219
 They have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:08.079
 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.239
 The Lord is in his holy temple.

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.620
 The Lord's throne is in heaven.

00:01:12.939 --> 00:01:14.000
 His eyes see.

00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.299
 His eyelids test the children of man.

00:01:16.780 --> 00:01:21.759
 The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:23.819
 Let him rain coals on the wicked.

00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:28.219
 Fire and sulfur and the scorching wind shall be the portion of their covenant.

00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:30.079
 For the Lord is righteous.

00:01:30.459 --> 00:01:31.819
 He loves righteous deeds.

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.299
 The upright shall behold his face.

00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:47.259
 As we look at the psalm this evening, what I want to put before you is the idea of what do you do in the storms of life?

00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:48.959
 When the storms of life come?

00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:51.859
 And what is going to be your vantage?

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.239
 What is going to be your perspective?

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.739
 What is going to be your point of view?

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.640
 And think about that.

00:01:56.939 --> 00:01:59.199
 I have a couple of questions for you.

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.000
 Do you pan is in view.

00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:03.879
 Do you pan on the problem?

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:07.039
 Or do you pan on the panacea?

00:02:07.579 --> 00:02:12.299
 Obviously, sort of alliteration there with the word P.

00:02:12.419 --> 00:02:13.840
 But do you pan on the problem?

00:02:14.139 --> 00:02:16.219
 Or do you pan the panacea?

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:18.879
 It begins in verse 1.

00:02:19.359 --> 00:02:20.379
 And the passage opens up.

00:02:20.379 --> 00:02:23.319
 In the Lord I take refuge.

00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:26.039
 Refuge is only needed in a storm.

00:02:26.359 --> 00:02:34.439
 So as this psalm is being written, we can be certain that there is some storm that the psalmist finds himself in.

00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.479
 And in the midst of this storm, the psalmist seeks protection from the Lord.

00:02:39.859 --> 00:02:41.340
 Hence he implores.

00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:43.280
 In the Lord I take refuge.

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:54.920
 One of the things that we see there in the beginning in verse 2 is that the psalmist also seems to be ruminating on some flawed advice that has been received.

00:02:55.259 --> 00:03:01.740
 And we see a bit of this flawed advice that has been received.

00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:03.840
 It begins, flee to the mountains.

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.060
 Flee like a bird to your mouth and flee.

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:11.420
 And so this is one of the bit of advice that the psalmist receives.

00:03:11.419 --> 00:03:18.079
 And then the psalmist also reflects upon this other bit of information that has been passed along.

00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.500
 For behold, the wicked bend the bow.

00:03:20.819 --> 00:03:26.000
 They have fitted their arrow to the stream to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.

00:03:26.979 --> 00:03:27.939
 And the passage continues.

00:03:28.019 --> 00:03:30.819
 If the foundations, that's as in the city's foundations.

00:03:31.119 --> 00:03:34.139
 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:39.519
 And we see the advice that the psalmist has received from others.

00:03:39.899 --> 00:03:42.399
 Is that the city is under attack.

00:03:42.699 --> 00:03:43.859
 You need to flee.

00:03:44.139 --> 00:03:44.839
 Go to safety.

00:03:45.399 --> 00:03:48.059
 You won't be saved in the midst of this.

00:03:48.359 --> 00:03:54.919
 And even the imagery there of the wicked with the bow that's ready and the arrow that's ready to strike out.

00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.379
 And we see that David doesn't seem to dispute the facts of the situation here.

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:03.859
 Seems to recognize that he's in a very dire situation.

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.019
 But he does dispute the advice that he has received.

00:04:09.279 --> 00:04:11.399
 The advice to flee to the mountains.

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:19.879
 We see that this advice that David is receiving has come from the vantage point of pan the problem.

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:21.519
 They have been panning on the problem.

00:04:21.599 --> 00:04:23.240
 They are looking upon the problem.

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:24.960
 Their eyes are focused on the wicked.

00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:27.460
 They see the power of the wicked.

00:04:28.460 --> 00:04:31.319
 We see that with the imagery of the bow and the string.

00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:34.040
 And there seems to even be a certain fear of the wicked.

00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.939
 The idea that if the foundations are destroyed,

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.480
 there's an impending doom that has come upon them.

00:04:41.939 --> 00:04:49.400
 And the psalmist there is reflecting upon what can only be described as the lousy advice of others.

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:51.759
 That advice, flee!

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:53.500
 Why you still can!

00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:55.639
 Before your demise comes!

00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:02.399
 We see that the psalmist has eschewed such advice as the passage begins.

00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:05.000
 In the Lord I take refuge.

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:08.339
 In the Lord I take refuge.

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:13.079
 And now we're going to check out the other vantage point of this.

00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.579
 This pan, the panacea.

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:17.579
 This look upward to God.

00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.000
 We see the psalmist there as he looks upward to God.

00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.379
 And it says there in verse 4,

00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:25.219
 The Lord is in his holy temple.

00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.059
 The Lord's throne is in heaven.

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:32.560
 So the psalmist, while in the midst of the storm,

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.199
 He looks and he looks upon God and his throne in heaven looking down.

00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.439
 And he looks upward to God.

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:44.120
 Quite different from the advice which he has received,

00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.459
 Which is to look outward, but towards the wicked people that are coming towards him.

00:05:48.459 --> 00:05:52.019
 The passage there continues in verse 4.

00:05:52.739 --> 00:05:53.899
 His eye see.

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.519
 His eyelids test the children of man.

00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.799
 His being God's.

00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:58.839
 God's eye see.

00:05:59.219 --> 00:06:01.199
 God's eyelids test the children of man.

00:06:01.599 --> 00:06:03.539
 Just a point of clarification for you.

00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:12.140
 That the term eyelids there has the idea of seeing with a great amount of insight.

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:14.500
 And so as the term is put there,

00:06:14.580 --> 00:06:19.100
 It's this moment of this kind of invasive look into you.

00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.800
 It might be the kind of thing,

00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:23.340
 If you were doing something wrong,

00:06:23.780 --> 00:06:27.200
 And someone were to look at you with that intense glare,

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:28.300
 And say,

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:30.320
 I see what you are doing.

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.199
 It's not that they just visually see what you are doing.

00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:37.699
 They have looked upon you,

00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.680
 And they have made a judgment about what they see that you are doing.

00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:43.379
 And they were reminding you of that.

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.560
 So this idea that God looks and tests the children of man.

00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:52.519
 It's this very intense, invasive look into people.

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:54.399
 And with that great insight,

00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:58.360
 We find that God is going to do two things.

00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.319
 The first thing that he is going to do,

00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:02.819
 Is that he is going to test people.

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.360
 And we see there in verse five,

00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:06.319
 The Lord tests the righteous,

00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:08.860
 But his soul hates the wicked,

00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:10.699
 And the ones who love violence.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.920
 So with that great insight,

00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.980
 The first thing is a test.

00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:18.220
 And the second thing that is going to come from that great insight,

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.780
 Is going to be judgment.

00:07:20.900 --> 00:07:22.560
 And there in verse six we see,

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.240
 Let him rain coals on the wicked,

00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.819
 Fire and sulfur and a scorching wind,

00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:29.759
 Shall be the portion of the cup.

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:32.620
 For the Lord is righteous.

00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:34.759
 He loves righteous deeds.

00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:37.620
 The upright shall behold his face.

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.100
 And so we see God after the test there,

00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:41.740
 He moves into judgment,

00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.459
 And makes a judgment against the people.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:46.720
 Makes a judgment against the wicked,

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.540
 But also makes a judgment for those who are trying to pursue him.

00:07:51.640 --> 00:07:53.700
 For those who are righteous.

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:56.780
 So the question I would have for you today,

00:07:57.620 --> 00:07:58.860
 Is in the storm,

00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:00.240
 In the storms of your life,

00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:01.800
 What is going to be your vantage?

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:03.240
 What is going to be your viewpoint?

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:04.320
 Right?

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:06.160
 Are you going to look out,

00:08:06.580 --> 00:08:08.940
 And just see the problem that is there before you?

00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:12.300
 Are you going to look up,

00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:13.639
 And try and find a solution?

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:17.420
 We see the psalmist is very much looked up,

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.899
 And seeing God,

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:20.600
 And seeing the solution there.

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:23.620
 As I was thinking of this idea of,

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.620
 Looking upon the solution and not the problem,

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:29.199
 I realized it sounded a little bit like,

00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:30.759
 Some sort of self-help manual.

00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:31.980
 It's not like,

00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:32.460
 You know,

00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:35.220
 The number six step to being the better you.

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.259
 Focus on solutions,

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:38.379
 Not on the problems.

00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:41.100
 So one of the things I wanted to,

00:08:41.160 --> 00:08:43.480
 Definitely make clear today,

00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:45.800
 Was the difference between,

00:08:45.940 --> 00:08:47.600
 What I would describe as good advice,

00:08:48.060 --> 00:08:49.140
 And godly wisdom.

00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:52.640
 I think that's one of the things that this psalm provides for us,

00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.920
 Is the difference between good advice,

00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:56.220
 And godly wisdom.

00:08:56.780 --> 00:08:58.280
 Now we need good advice,

00:08:58.480 --> 00:08:59.840
 There are certainly times in our life,

00:08:59.900 --> 00:09:01.340
 When we need good advice.

00:09:01.700 --> 00:09:03.340
 When I am trying to fix my bike,

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.040
 And I can't figure out what to do,

00:09:05.540 --> 00:09:06.340
 I go to YouTube,

00:09:06.340 --> 00:09:08.480
 And I am looking for some good advice,

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:09.899
 On how to fix my bike.

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:12.899
 So there are times for good advice.

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:19.860
 But one of the issues that we have with good advice,

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.360
 Is it takes the viewpoint,

00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:24.759
 Off of really what the problem is.

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:26.740
 So good advice,

00:09:27.060 --> 00:09:28.300
 Is essentially telling you,

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:28.840
 Hey,

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:30.440
 You can fix the problem.

00:09:30.920 --> 00:09:31.580
 There's a problem,

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:33.320
 And you have the ability to fix it,

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.320
 And now I'm going to give you a suggestion,

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.780
 A piece of advice,

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:38.180
 So that you can fix your problem.

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:39.940
 Godly wisdom,

00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:40.580
 On the other hand,

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:42.280
 Which is what the psalmist displays here,

00:09:42.640 --> 00:09:43.500
 Godly wisdom,

00:09:43.660 --> 00:09:45.040
 Looks upon it,

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.800
 And says that,

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.240
 The situation isn't the problem,

00:09:47.680 --> 00:09:48.120
 Really,

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:48.620
 You,

00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:49.379
 The individual,

00:09:49.540 --> 00:09:50.100
 Are the problem.

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:51.920
 And the reason that,

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:52.379
 You,

00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:53.080
 Me,

00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:53.960
 The individual,

00:09:54.280 --> 00:09:55.040
 Is the problem,

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:57.240
 Is because of our sin nature.

00:09:58.240 --> 00:09:59.600
 And fundamentally,

00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:01.580
 We can look to God's work,

00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.039
 Through Jesus Christ,

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.019
 And see that God is addressing,

00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:07.560
 Our fundamental problem,

00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:10.200
 That being a fundamental nature of our sin,

00:10:10.539 --> 00:10:12.500
 That separates us off from God.

00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:14.019
 And so,

00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.120
 There through,

00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:16.860
 The work of Jesus Christ,

00:10:17.379 --> 00:10:18.779
 We see that,

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.139
 Through the life of Christ,

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:22.139
 And through his death,

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.120
 And through his ultimate resurrection,

00:10:24.560 --> 00:10:25.919
 And his defeat of death,

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.759
 That we see God working through,

00:10:27.860 --> 00:10:28.979
 Our fundamental problem,

00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:31.379
 Which is our sin nature.

00:10:32.599 --> 00:10:34.240
 And in the midst of this,

00:10:34.479 --> 00:10:35.019
 We find that,

00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:36.139
 That godly wisdom,

00:10:36.939 --> 00:10:37.759
 Looks upon,

00:10:38.079 --> 00:10:39.099
 Not the situation,

00:10:39.259 --> 00:10:41.599
 And our ability to solve the situation,

00:10:41.599 --> 00:10:42.639
 But it looks upon,

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:44.019
 The fundamental nature of the problem.

00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:45.819
 The fundamental nature of the problem,

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:47.179
 Is that we are sinful beings,

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.740
 And we are going to need,

00:10:48.819 --> 00:10:50.639
 God's great intervention,

00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.539
 To adjust the problems,

00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.419
 That are of a God sized task.

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:56.439
 These aren't within our own ability,

00:10:56.439 --> 00:10:56.959
 To address,

00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:58.059
 They must be addressed,

00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:59.259
 Through the power of God.

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.839
 God's help is needed.

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:04.779
 I want us to just take a look,

00:11:04.959 --> 00:11:06.860
 As we've looked at this idea,

00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:09.179
 Of godly wisdom,

00:11:09.479 --> 00:11:10.860
 As opposed to good advice,

00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:12.240
 In this passage.

00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.299
 And as we think about that,

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:15.779
 I think the good advice,

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:17.360
 That was presented here,

00:11:17.459 --> 00:11:18.639
 Comes at the end of verse one.

00:11:19.199 --> 00:11:20.559
 Flee like a bird,

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.219
 To your mountain.

00:11:21.220 --> 00:11:23.440
 That's the good advice.

00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:25.440
 Here's this difficult situation,

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:26.120
 That you were in,

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:27.840
 And I have the solution for you.

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.500
 That's what someone is saying,

00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:29.920
 To the psalmist,

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:31.000
 I have the solution for you.

00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:32.420
 You have your own power,

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.700
 Flee to the mountain,

00:11:34.139 --> 00:11:34.899
 Flee to the mountain,

00:11:35.100 --> 00:11:36.000
 And save yourself.

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:38.700
 The godly wisdom,

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:41.019
 Comes in what the psalmist has done,

00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:42.220
 Which is in verse one.

00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:43.620
 In the Lord,

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.300
 I take refuge.

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:47.259
 In the Lord,

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.000
 I take refuge.

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.240
 The psalmist says,

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:50.399
 I'm not going to rely upon,

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:51.460
 My own power,

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:52.980
 To solve this problem.

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.279
 I'm going to rely upon,

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:55.279
 The power of God,

00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.000
 To solve this.

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:57.179
 Because God is the one,

00:11:57.259 --> 00:11:57.940
 Who can intervene,

00:11:58.259 --> 00:11:59.299
 And bring actual,

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:00.799
 And true resolution,

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:01.600
 To this issue.

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.059
 So as we think of this psalm,

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:05.419
 It is what I want you to,

00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:06.799
 Ruminate upon.

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:09.059
 Is the difference between,

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:09.919
 Good advice,

00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.580
 And godly wisdom.

00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:13.080
 And as I said,

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:13.940
 There are certainly times,

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.279
 That we need good advice.

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.740
 But,

00:12:16.899 --> 00:12:18.399
 When we need godly wisdom,

00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:20.120
 Let's not substitute good advice.

00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:21.740
 Godly wisdom,

00:12:21.959 --> 00:12:22.819
 Looks upon it,

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:23.279
 And says,

00:12:23.379 --> 00:12:24.519
 Sees God as the solution,

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.299
 To our problems.

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:26.819
 Whereas opposed to,

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:28.120
 Good advice looks upon it,

00:12:28.339 --> 00:12:29.299
 And sees us,

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:30.980
 As somehow having the solution,

00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:32.000
 To our own problems.

00:12:34.419 --> 00:12:35.720
 Let me close this in prayer.

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.019
 God,

00:12:40.060 --> 00:12:40.800
 As we move on,

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.259
 In our time this evening,

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:43.080
 God,

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:43.879
 I just pray that,

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:46.019
 We would be able to,

00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.500
 Just still ourselves before you.

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:48.560
 God,

00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:49.779
 Still our minds,

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:51.200
 Still our hearts,

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.840
 And still our souls before you.

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:54.040
 And that,

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:54.779
 God is,

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:57.200
 The message here presented,

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:58.000
 God,

00:12:58.060 --> 00:12:58.580
 Pray that,

00:12:58.820 --> 00:12:59.600
 As it is helpful,

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:01.399
 That we might be reminded,

00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:02.300
 Of the words here.

00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.560
 We might be reminded,

00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:04.720
 Of your scripture,

00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:05.899
 And it's great,

00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:07.540
 Power to speak truth,

00:13:07.660 --> 00:13:08.379
 Into our lives.

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:09.840
 We ask all this in your name.

00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:10.379
 Amen.
