00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160
 Thanks for coming for our Lord's Supper service this evening.

00:00:05.219 --> 00:00:07.339
! If you don't know me, my name is Steve.

00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:09.419
 I'm the pastor of the church here and one of the leaders.

00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:11.939
! And Clifford here, who's one of our church members,

00:00:11.939 --> 00:00:14.800
 is going to be preaching for us tonight on Psalm 23.

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.320
 But before we get there, we're going to just look quickly at 1 Peter,

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:25.420
 chapter 2, verses 24 and 25.

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:29.359
 It's on page 1218 in the church Bibles.

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.460
 1 Peter, chapter 2.

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:37.879
 Trying to link together what we're looking at this morning

00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:39.219
 with what we're looking at this evening.

00:00:39.519 --> 00:00:45.659
 So Psalm 23, obviously the famous psalm about the Lord being our shepherd.

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:49.299
 And we were thinking this morning about Romans 3

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:55.460
 and the Lord Jesus bearing our sins in his body on the cross.

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.460
 And that's picked up here in 1 Peter, chapter 2.

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.679
 Verses 24 and 25.

00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:01.500
 So I'm going to read them.

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:02.740
 I'm going to pray for us.

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:04.459
 And we'll begin that way.

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:06.000
 Let's read God's words.

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:14.400
 He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.219
 so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:23.700
 By his wounds you have been healed.

00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:28.020
 For you were like sheep going astray.

00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:35.680
 But now you have returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.400
 Let me pray for us.

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:47.080
 Heavenly Father, we thank you that the Lord Jesus bore in his body our sins on the cross

00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:50.800
 so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness.

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:58.299
 Thank you that his wounds on the cross are the source of our healing and wholeness.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.899
 Thank you that though we were wandering far from you,

00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.099
 you have now brought us back to the Lord Jesus,

00:02:06.340 --> 00:02:08.219
 the shepherd and overseer of our souls.

00:02:08.219 --> 00:02:10.939
 And we pray for our time together this evening.

00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:15.919
 We do ask, Lord, as we come to look at your word and hear it together,

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.520
 we ask that you might speak to us and encourage us.

00:02:20.379 --> 00:02:25.340
 We pray that we might know what it is to be being pursued by you,

00:02:26.139 --> 00:02:31.620
 that you come after us and love us and take care of us.

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:34.460
 And pray as we share the Lord's Supper together this evening,

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.980
 that you might just remind us and refresh our confidence in what Jesus has done.

00:02:39.640 --> 00:02:42.740
 So bless us in our time together this evening, we pray in Jesus' name.

00:02:43.340 --> 00:02:43.680
 Amen.

00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.580
 Now, if you turn your Bibles to Psalm 23.

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:51.120
 Psalm 23.

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:53.719
 If you head to the middle, you'll be about right.

00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.659
 It's page 555.

00:02:57.860 --> 00:03:00.099
 In the church Bibles, page 555.

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:01.000
 Psalm 23.

00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:04.480
 So I'm going to read it for us, and then I'm going to hand over to Clifford,

00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:07.039
 who's going to preach God's word for us.

00:03:07.539 --> 00:03:08.420
 Psalm 23.

00:03:10.860 --> 00:03:12.360
 A Psalm of David.

00:03:13.539 --> 00:03:15.159
 The Lord is my shepherd.

00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.400
 I lack nothing.

00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.659
 He makes me lie down in green pastures.

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.439
 He leads me beside quiet waters.

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.080
 He refreshes my soul.

00:03:26.900 --> 00:03:31.180
 He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.

00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:34.580
 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,

00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:36.939
 I will fear no evil,

00:03:37.539 --> 00:03:38.539
 for you are with me.

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.500
 Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:47.020
 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:49.480
 You anoint my head with oil.

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:52.060
 My cup overflows.

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:58.780
 Surely, your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:03.599
 And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:05.099
 Amen.

00:04:10.979 --> 00:04:11.460
 Amen.

00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:14.040
 Good evening.

00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:15.140
 Thank you for your welcome.

00:04:15.420 --> 00:04:20.100
 Thank you for the opportunity, Steve, to share with you all this evening.

00:04:20.819 --> 00:04:23.439
 I'm feeling nervous because I haven't done this for a long time,

00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:25.100
 and Steve is looking at me.

00:04:29.420 --> 00:04:30.340
 Let's pray together.

00:04:30.339 --> 00:04:31.339
 Amen.

00:04:33.619 --> 00:04:38.719
 And so we acknowledge the fresh Lord that you are our rock and our redeemer.

00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:46.399
 And so we come to you now and we ask that you would indeed speak to us through your word,

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:49.719
 your living word, your eternal truth.

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:51.439
 Help us to hear.

00:04:52.179 --> 00:04:53.239
 Help us to understand.

00:04:54.039 --> 00:04:55.699
 Give us a heart that are obedient to you.

00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.360
 In Jesus' name.

00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:58.399
 Amen.

00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.259
 I suspect this evening as you come and look at this psalm,

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:07.420
 as you keep your Bibles open,

00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:13.419
 it is one of the most popular psalms in all of the collection of the 150 psalms.

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:19.039
 It is so popular that I've heard it read out in weddings,

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.180
 in funerals, anniversaries, birthdays,

00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:26.540
 and children's dedications.

00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:29.560
 It's a psalm of great beauty,

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:32.620
 describing the peace, calm, and delight

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:33.959
 which dwells with the person

00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.900
 whose trust is wholly in God.

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.160
 David is the most likely author of this psalm,

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:44.720
 but he cannot be placed in the poem

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.680
 in a period of his lifetime.

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.459
 When David wrote this psalm,

00:05:54.139 --> 00:05:59.519
 he appears to be experiencing a period of rest and refreshment

00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:00.600
 in verse 1 to 3.

00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:03.939
 Prosperity and abundance in verse 5.

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.920
 His thoughts seem to be happy thoughts,

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:07.980
 and he lacks nothing.

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:09.639
 He has no fear.

00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:13.319
 God's mercy and goodness are with him.

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.639
 And David feels assured that they will continue

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.180
 to be with him all the days of his life

00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:21.579
 in verse 6a.

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:25.939
 Moreover, David has one desire for the future,

00:06:26.659 --> 00:06:28.019
 and that desire is to dwell

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:29.879
 in the house of the Lord forever,

00:06:30.039 --> 00:06:30.839
 verse 6b.

00:06:32.180 --> 00:06:33.259
 But in verse 4,

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.240
 there's a sift in the psalm,

00:06:35.939 --> 00:06:37.500
 and David is confronted

00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:41.600
 with the dark and dismal inevitability of death.

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:44.360
 But you notice in the psalm,

00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:45.920
 even in this dark place,

00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.079
 in his life experience,

00:06:49.339 --> 00:06:50.740
 David is resolute.

00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:52.420
 He is confident.

00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:55.519
 He will fear no evil.

00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.959
 I draw your attention to the fact

00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:00.079
 that the Lord is mentioned

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.160
 at least 10 times in this psalm,

00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.879
 direct or indirectly,

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.959
 to emphasize and point to the fact

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.139
 that the psalm is not about David.

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.819
 It is about the Lord.

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.500
 And so some commentators have suggested,

00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:19.159
 and I quote,

00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:20.920
 no amount of Hebrew scholarship

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.300
 can possibly let anyone

00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:25.339
 into the deep meaning of the psalm.

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:29.180
 No attainment in English literature

00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:32.819
 will ever initiate any student

00:07:32.819 --> 00:07:33.899
 into the mysteries

00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:35.639
 of a mother's love.

00:07:36.540 --> 00:07:38.620
 And no attainment in oriental learning

00:07:38.620 --> 00:07:39.959
 will help anyone to learn

00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.159
 the secret of the Lord,

00:07:42.259 --> 00:07:43.839
 which is here disclosed

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.040
 in this psalm.

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:47.939
 There's nothing to equal in it

00:07:47.939 --> 00:07:49.920
 in sacred books of the East,

00:07:51.039 --> 00:07:52.120
 for none but the Hebrews

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.300
 has ever had such disclosure of God

00:07:54.300 --> 00:07:56.539
 as that which is written

00:07:56.539 --> 00:07:57.699
 by the psalm

00:07:57.699 --> 00:08:00.039
 and which he rejoices in.

00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.980
 He went on to say

00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:04.439
 that every clause in the psalm

00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:05.260
 is suggestive

00:08:05.260 --> 00:08:06.960
 enough to be

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:07.900
 at the basis

00:08:07.900 --> 00:08:09.360
 of a separate disclosure

00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.680
 in speech or in writing.

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:12.840
 Unquote.

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:17.920
 This psalm is also famous

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.100
 among God's people

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:23.740
 because it has been identified

00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:25.280
 as a messianic psalm

00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.679
 that speaks about Jesus Christ

00:08:27.679 --> 00:08:29.059
 as the Messiah,

00:08:29.219 --> 00:08:29.939
 the anointed one,

00:08:30.019 --> 00:08:31.079
 the one who is to come

00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:32.819
 to be the Savior of the world.

00:08:34.259 --> 00:08:35.259
 It portrays Jesus

00:08:35.259 --> 00:08:36.139
 as a good shepherd

00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:37.179
 in John 10, 11.

00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:39.699
 He gave his life for the sheep

00:08:39.699 --> 00:08:40.980
 and he knows the sheep

00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:43.019
 and his sheep follows him.

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:46.000
 He's portrayed as a chief shepherd

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.519
 in 1 Peter 5, 4.

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:51.480
 And in Hebrews 13 and verse 20,

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:53.059
 he is the great shepherd

00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:54.439
 of the sheep.

00:08:55.779 --> 00:08:56.319
 And of course,

00:08:56.419 --> 00:08:57.840
 in Revelation chapter 16

00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.279
 and verse 17,

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:01.879
 in Revelation chapter 7

00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.199
 and verse 16 to 17,

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:04.919
 he is portrayed

00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:06.519
 as the divine shepherd.

00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:14.059
 In verse 1,

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:14.600
 David said,

00:09:14.699 --> 00:09:15.779
 the Lord is my shepherd.

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:18.339
 To have been able

00:09:18.339 --> 00:09:19.379
 to write this psalm

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:21.379
 is one of the greatest honors

00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:22.539
 given to David.

00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:24.799
 The content of the psalm

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.039
 comes fresh to us

00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.039
 as though it was written yesterday.

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:31.039
 They make their home

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.079
 in every language.

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:33.720
 The psalm touches,

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.639
 inspire and comfort us

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:36.879
 not as an echo

00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:38.740
 or repeat of someone's opinion

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:40.539
 from 3,000 years ago,

00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:42.959
 but as the voice

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:43.939
 of a living friend.

00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:46.640
 The child repeats the psalm

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:47.960
 as she sits

00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.220
 on the mother's knees.

00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:53.440
 The ordinary Christian

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:54.280
 loves the psalm

00:09:54.280 --> 00:09:55.280
 for its simplicity

00:09:55.280 --> 00:09:57.180
 as for as much

00:09:57.180 --> 00:09:58.040
 as its beauty.

00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:00.700
 The psalm for Am

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:02.300
 falls like music

00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:03.540
 on the six-man air

00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:05.440
 and warms his heart

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:06.820
 as he's alone in his room.

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:08.560
 And as you reflect

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:09.460
 on his life,

00:10:10.400 --> 00:10:11.360
 he's able to say,

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:12.680
 like the psalmist,

00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:13.779
 the Lord is my shepherd.

00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:15.599
 The dying Christian

00:10:15.599 --> 00:10:15.959
 says,

00:10:16.179 --> 00:10:16.939
 this is my psalm

00:10:16.939 --> 00:10:18.039
 and change themselves up

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:19.659
 with the words of faith

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:21.679
 and courage

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:22.419
 as he enters

00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:23.199
 the dark valley

00:10:23.199 --> 00:10:24.120
 of the shadow of death.

00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:25.699
 And he says,

00:10:25.739 --> 00:10:26.199
 the Lord

00:10:26.199 --> 00:10:28.139
 is my shepherd.

00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:33.199
 These words of the psalm

00:10:33.199 --> 00:10:34.559
 is not written

00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:36.199
 because of poetic license.

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:37.980
 These opening words

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:38.580
 of the psalm

00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:39.539
 bears the stamp

00:10:39.539 --> 00:10:40.419
 of deep,

00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:40.960
 intimate,

00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:41.519
 personal,

00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:42.840
 lived experience

00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:44.220
 of a person

00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:45.240
 who has a relationship

00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:46.600
 with his Lord.

00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:48.600
 David,

00:10:48.740 --> 00:10:49.659
 the young shepherd boy,

00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:50.740
 might have sung this psalm

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:51.519
 about his famous

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.559
 past experience

00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.519
 for his years

00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:55.639
 in the open fields

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.240
 with the sheep

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.419
 into the glorious future.

00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:00.240
 with the mature veteran

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.139
 looking back

00:11:01.139 --> 00:11:01.799
 to his youth,

00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:03.579
 sees in the psalm

00:11:03.579 --> 00:11:04.319
 the true meaning.

00:11:05.319 --> 00:11:06.500
 He could not have seen

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:08.079
 a light shining

00:11:08.079 --> 00:11:09.779
 along

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:12.240
 the path

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.959
 that leads

00:11:12.959 --> 00:11:13.919
 not to Jerusalem

00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.559
 but leads to heaven

00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:16.419
 and his Lord.

00:11:20.019 --> 00:11:21.539
 And something has gone wrong.

00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:22.480
 I've missed the page.

00:11:24.099 --> 00:11:24.500
 Sorry.

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:24.559
 Sorry.

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:33.240
 And so the background

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.039
 and context

00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:34.659
 of this psalm

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:35.419
 we must remember

00:11:35.419 --> 00:11:36.319
 that before David

00:11:36.319 --> 00:11:37.519
 became a king

00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:37.979
 in Israel

00:11:37.979 --> 00:11:38.919
 he was a shepherd.

00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:41.019
 He spent many years

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:41.719
 in the open field

00:11:41.719 --> 00:11:42.360
 with his sheep

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:43.319
 protecting them

00:11:43.319 --> 00:11:44.059
 from lions,

00:11:44.699 --> 00:11:45.039
 wolves,

00:11:45.199 --> 00:11:45.500
 bears

00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:46.599
 and caring for them.

00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.519
 So when David

00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:49.599
 asserts that the Lord

00:11:49.599 --> 00:11:50.360
 is my shepherd

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.179
 he's not using

00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:53.000
 a random metaphor.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.500
 he's speaking

00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:55.559
 from a deep personal

00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.139
 and lived experience.

00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:58.639
 David knew

00:11:58.639 --> 00:11:59.360
 from his first

00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.000
 hand experience

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.139
 what it meant

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:02.299
 to be a shepherd.

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:05.200
 My brothers and sisters

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.240
 and visiting friends

00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:07.580
 to be a shepherd

00:12:07.580 --> 00:12:08.580
 in ancient Israel

00:12:08.580 --> 00:12:09.500
 was a big deal.

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:11.000
 Owning sheep

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.820
 was a valuable business

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.220
 providing milk,

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:14.679
 wool,

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:16.159
 mostly certainly

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.440
 providing for the means

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:18.059
 of sacrifice

00:12:18.059 --> 00:12:19.259
 for the worship

00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:20.340
 of God's people

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:21.259
 at the temple

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:21.940
 in Jerusalem.

00:12:23.560 --> 00:12:24.540
 But David

00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:25.100
 was also

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:26.860
 the spiritual shepherd

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:27.540
 of his people

00:12:27.540 --> 00:12:28.420
 being the king.

00:12:29.920 --> 00:12:30.780
 And as it's true

00:12:30.780 --> 00:12:31.440
 this personal

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.620
 intimate relationship

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:33.040
 with God

00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:33.960
 he was able to say

00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.080
 the Lord Jehovah

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:38.240
 is my shepherd.

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.620
 Jehovah

00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:41.580
 is my pastor,

00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:43.019
 my shepherd.

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:44.840
 He is my Lord.

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.860
 My brothers and sisters

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:47.560
 if we are able

00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:48.820
 to see the truth

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:49.720
 that experience

00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.060
 what all this means

00:12:52.060 --> 00:12:53.740
 and if we know

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.480
 the significance

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.240
 and the glory

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.480
 of this statement

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.340
 and all of us

00:12:58.340 --> 00:12:59.139
 could embrace

00:12:59.139 --> 00:12:59.840
 this truth

00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:00.360
 this evening

00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.879
 and apply it all

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:03.460
 to our hearts

00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:03.820
 and lives

00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:04.700
 there is a sense

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:05.180
 in which

00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:06.740
 that all

00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:08.840
 that is all we need

00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:09.860
 for our lives

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:11.040
 to know that the Lord

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:13.500
 is our shepherd.

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.220
 We can leave here

00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:15.700
 this evening

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:16.480
 with the clarity

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:17.340
 and conviction

00:13:17.340 --> 00:13:18.879
 and certainty

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.000
 that David had

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.340
 when he said

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:23.039
 the Lord

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.019
 is my shepherd.

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.220
 I lack nothing

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:27.919
 says David.

00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:30.439
 The reason that

00:13:30.439 --> 00:13:31.620
 the fact that

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:32.019
 the Lord

00:13:32.019 --> 00:13:32.879
 is his shepherd

00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.299
 his ideal shepherd

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:35.419
 he's the one

00:13:35.419 --> 00:13:35.980
 who's the one

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:36.899
 most perfect

00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:38.419
 he's ideal

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:39.120
 and suitable

00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.080
 to meet David's needs

00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:41.879
 in every

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:44.139
 department

00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.080
 of his life.

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.820
 it seems to me

00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:49.060
 that the shepherd

00:13:49.060 --> 00:13:49.920
 of his people

00:13:49.920 --> 00:13:51.560
 the nation

00:13:51.560 --> 00:13:52.639
 and the church

00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:53.480
 of Israel

00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:55.460
 in Ezekiel

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:57.180
 brings this out

00:13:57.180 --> 00:13:57.680
 the Lord

00:13:57.680 --> 00:13:58.220
 Jehovah

00:13:58.220 --> 00:13:59.440
 compares himself

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.460
 with the under

00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:00.780
 shepherd

00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:01.759
 who were feeding

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.240
 themselves

00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:04.900
 instead

00:14:04.900 --> 00:14:06.180
 of feeding the

00:14:06.180 --> 00:14:06.480
 people

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.120
 they were meant

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.360
 to.

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:09.440
 But Jehovah

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:10.200
 the good shepherd

00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:10.960
 says that

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.580
 he would come

00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:12.060
 himself

00:14:12.059 --> 00:14:13.159
 and seek out

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.579
 the sheep

00:14:13.579 --> 00:14:14.519
 rescue

00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.079
 and gather

00:14:15.079 --> 00:14:15.399
 them

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.619
 and he says

00:14:16.619 --> 00:14:17.419
 I will be

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:18.000
 the shepherd

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.239
 to my people.

00:14:21.239 --> 00:14:22.259
 So Jehovah

00:14:22.259 --> 00:14:23.919
 he is the

00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:24.779
 ideal shepherd

00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:26.539
 because he is

00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:27.019
 unlimited

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:28.559
 he is

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.699
 in his

00:14:30.699 --> 00:14:31.659
 omnipotence

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:33.159
 all the people

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:33.859
 will be fed.

00:14:34.979 --> 00:14:35.759
 He is the

00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:36.639
 ideal shepherd

00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.639
 because he is

00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:38.459
 unchanging

00:14:38.459 --> 00:14:39.579
 in his love

00:14:39.579 --> 00:14:40.199
 for his people.

00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.120
 he is

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.060
 unlimited

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:43.680
 in his

00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:44.420
 faithfulness

00:14:44.420 --> 00:14:45.600
 he is

00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.020
 unlimited

00:14:46.020 --> 00:14:46.520
 in his

00:14:46.520 --> 00:14:46.879
 mercy

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.259
 he is

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:48.620
 unlimited

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.080
 in his

00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:49.400
 goodness

00:14:49.400 --> 00:14:50.160
 towards his

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:50.520
 people

00:14:50.520 --> 00:14:52.300
 his grace

00:14:52.300 --> 00:14:52.840
 towards his

00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:53.220
 people

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:53.940

00:19:28.460 --> 00:19:31.780
 instead

00:19:31.780 --> 00:19:31.980
 of

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:32.380
 resting

00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:32.980
 and trusting

00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:48.440
 that

00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.619

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:52.899
 hungry

00:19:52.899 --> 00:19:54.379

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:54.720
 puts

00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:19.639
 that

00:22:19.639 --> 00:22:19.779
 he

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.099
 knows

00:22:20.099 --> 00:22:21.579
 your

00:22:21.579 --> 00:22:21.879
 name

00:22:21.879 --> 00:22:23.599
 and

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:23.799
 my

00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:24.079
 name

00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:26.379
 even

00:22:26.379 --> 00:22:26.979
 before

00:22:26.979 --> 00:22:28.419
 you

00:22:28.419 --> 00:22:28.779
 think

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.419
 about

00:22:29.419 --> 00:22:29.719
 it

00:22:29.719 --> 00:22:32.419
 and

00:22:32.419 --> 00:22:32.539
 you

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:32.619
 see

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:32.779
 the

00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:32.979
 point

00:22:32.979 --> 00:22:33.159
 that

00:22:33.159 --> 00:22:33.319
 I

00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:33.539
 think

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:33.719
 that

00:22:33.719 --> 00:22:33.879
 is

 being

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:34.399
 made

00:22:34.399 --> 00:22:34.739
 here

00:22:34.739 --> 00:22:36.379
 because

00:22:36.379 --> 00:22:36.839
 God

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:37.079
 of the

00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:37.299
 Bible

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:37.579
 has

00:22:37.579 --> 00:22:37.859
 never

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.479
 failed

00:22:38.479 --> 00:22:38.699
 to

00:22:38.699 --> 00:22:39.039
 provide

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:39.219
 for

00:22:39.219 --> 00:22:39.399
 his

00:22:39.399 --> 00:22:39.759
 people

00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:42.039
 we

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:42.579
 all

00:22:42.579 --> 00:22:42.899
 of us

00:22:42.899 --> 00:22:43.179
 without

00:22:43.179 --> 00:22:43.599
 fail

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:43.879
 need

00:22:43.879 --> 00:22:44.039
 to

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:44.419
 rest

00:22:44.419 --> 00:22:44.659
 on

00:22:44.659 --> 00:22:44.859
 his

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.299
 promises

00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:47.500
 and

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:47.699
 his

00:22:47.699 --> 00:22:48.099
 timing

00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:48.859
 I

00:22:48.859 --> 00:22:49.000
 was

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:49.199
 sharing

00:22:49.199 --> 00:22:49.359
 with

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:49.479
 the

 same

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:51.259
 brother

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.659
 again

00:22:51.659 --> 00:22:52.099
 about

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.519
 God's

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:52.819
 timing

00:22:52.819 --> 00:22:54.439
 and

00:22:54.439 --> 00:22:54.779
 God

00:22:54.779 --> 00:22:54.979
 has

00:22:54.979 --> 00:22:55.179
 never

00:22:55.179 --> 00:22:55.479
 led

00:22:55.479 --> 00:22:55.659
 me

00:22:55.659 --> 00:22:55.799
 up

00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:55.939
 at

00:22:55.939 --> 00:22:56.559
 cul-de-sac

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:56.740
 and

00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:57.019
 I

00:22:57.019 --> 00:22:57.379
 became

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:57.539
 a

00:22:57.539 --> 00:22:57.779
 Christian

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:57.979
 on

00:22:57.979 --> 00:22:58.099
 the

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:58.459
 20th

00:22:58.459 --> 00:22:58.559
 of

 January

00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:00.359
 1973

00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.379
 and

00:23:02.379 --> 00:23:02.500
 I

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.679
 can

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:02.959
 tell

00:23:02.959 --> 00:23:03.240
 you

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:04.719
 without

00:23:04.719 --> 00:23:06.399
 any

00:23:06.399 --> 00:23:07.000
 embarrassment

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:07.679
 or

00:23:07.679 --> 00:23:08.819
 not

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.240
 boasting

00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:09.579
 God

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:09.759
 has

00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:09.979
 never

00:23:09.979 --> 00:23:10.240
 led

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:10.459
 me

00:23:10.459 --> 00:23:10.679
 up

00:23:10.679 --> 00:23:10.979
 a

00:23:10.979 --> 00:23:11.459
 cul-de-sac

00:23:11.459 --> 00:23:11.779
 yet

00:23:11.779 --> 00:23:14.539
 and

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:14.679
 I

00:23:14.679 --> 00:23:14.819
 think

00:23:14.819 --> 00:23:15.039
 this

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.199
 is

00:23:15.199 --> 00:23:15.419
 what

00:23:15.419 --> 00:23:15.659
 the

00:23:15.659 --> 00:23:16.059
 psalmist

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:16.299
 is

00:23:16.299 --> 00:23:16.639
 trying

00:23:16.639 --> 00:23:16.859
 to

00:23:16.859 --> 00:23:17.379
 convey

00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:17.719
 in

00:23:17.719 --> 00:23:17.899
 the

00:23:17.899 --> 00:23:18.339
 psalm

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:20.799
 when

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:20.959
 you

00:23:20.959 --> 00:23:21.699
 first

00:23:21.699 --> 00:23:22.000
 read

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:22.179
 the

00:23:22.179 --> 00:23:22.619
 psalm

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:23.000
 if

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.099
 you

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:23.240
 were

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:23.579
 standing

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:24.439
 at

00:23:24.439 --> 00:23:24.919
 a

00:23:25.199 --> 00:23:25.459
 stop

00:23:25.459 --> 00:23:25.699
 or

00:23:25.699 --> 00:23:26.419
 in

00:23:26.419 --> 00:23:26.979
 a

00:23:26.979 --> 00:23:27.859
 train

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:28.179
 or

00:23:28.179 --> 00:23:28.500
 a

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:28.819
 bus

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.099
 and

00:23:29.099 --> 00:23:29.740
 someone

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.039
 said

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:30.419
 the

00:23:30.419 --> 00:23:30.619
 Lord

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:30.799
 is

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:31.059
 my

00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:31.500
 shepherd

00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:32.819
 you

00:23:32.819 --> 00:23:32.979
 would

00:23:32.979 --> 00:23:33.119
 look

00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:33.259
 at

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.439
 him

00:23:33.439 --> 00:23:34.139
 this

00:23:34.139 --> 00:23:34.500
 day

00:23:38.959 --> 00:23:39.139
 to

00:23:39.139 --> 00:23:39.419
 convey

00:23:39.419 --> 00:23:39.779
 something

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.179
 that I

00:23:40.179 --> 00:23:40.399
 feel

00:23:40.399 --> 00:23:40.759
 is

00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:41.559
 very

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:42.059
 pertinent

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:43.879
 he's

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:44.059
 trying

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:44.219
 to

00:23:44.219 --> 00:23:44.599
 convey

00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:44.899
 that

00:23:44.899 --> 00:23:45.159
 he

00:23:45.159 --> 00:23:45.459
 has

00:23:45.459 --> 00:23:45.619
 an

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:46.179
 assurance

00:23:46.179 --> 00:23:46.599
 of

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:46.740
 a

00:23:46.740 --> 00:23:47.459
 relationship

00:23:47.459 --> 00:23:48.439
 with

00:23:48.439 --> 00:23:48.859
 the

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:49.199
 Lord

00:23:49.199 --> 00:23:51.119
 and

00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:51.219
 the

00:23:51.219 --> 00:23:51.519
 question

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:51.899
 that

00:23:51.899 --> 00:23:52.500
 comes

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:52.639
 to

00:23:52.639 --> 00:23:52.819
 my

00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:53.279
 mind

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:53.519
 as

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:53.699
 I

00:23:53.699 --> 00:23:54.599
 share

00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:54.819
 with

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:55.119
 you

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.059
 have

00:23:57.059 --> 00:23:57.159
 you

00:23:57.159 --> 00:23:57.319
 got

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:57.479
 that

00:23:57.479 --> 00:23:57.839
 assurance

00:23:57.839 --> 00:23:59.099
 you

00:23:59.099 --> 00:23:59.220
 see

00:23:59.220 --> 00:24:01.759
 the

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.919
 writer

00:24:02.919 --> 00:24:03.559
 picks

00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:03.799
 up

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:03.980
 this

00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:04.599
 doesn't

00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:04.819
 he

00:24:04.819 --> 00:24:06.079
 blessed

00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.879
 assurance

00:24:06.879 --> 00:24:07.459
 Jesus

00:24:07.459 --> 00:24:07.779
 is

00:24:07.779 --> 00:24:08.199
 mine

00:24:08.199 --> 00:24:09.720
 oh

00:24:09.720 --> 00:24:09.959
 what

00:24:09.959 --> 00:24:10.179
 a

00:24:10.179 --> 00:24:11.039
 foretaste

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.439
 of

00:24:11.439 --> 00:24:11.839
 glory

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:12.299
 divine

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:12.819
 heirs

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:12.980
 of

00:24:12.980 --> 00:24:13.679
 salvation

00:24:13.679 --> 00:24:14.199
 purchased

00:24:14.199 --> 00:24:14.439
 of

00:24:14.439 --> 00:24:14.859
 God

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:16.059
 born

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:16.279
 of

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:16.480
 his

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.019
 spirit

00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:17.539
 washed

00:24:17.539 --> 00:24:17.759
 in

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:17.939
 his

00:24:17.939 --> 00:24:18.439
 blood

00:24:18.439 --> 00:24:20.459
 these

00:24:20.459 --> 00:24:20.599
 are

00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:20.839
 not

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:21.439
 throwaway

00:24:21.439 --> 00:24:21.799
 comments

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.000
 my

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.159
 brothers

00:24:22.159 --> 00:24:22.439
 and sisters

00:24:22.439 --> 00:24:22.679
 these

00:24:22.679 --> 00:24:22.799
 are

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:23.139
 profound

00:24:23.139 --> 00:24:23.619
 words

00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:24.039
 and

00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:24.319
 these

00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:24.720
 words

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.339
 that

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:26.720
 you

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:26.879
 see

00:24:26.879 --> 00:24:27.179
 in

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:27.740
 this

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:28.140
 time

00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:28.360
 is

00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:28.900
 serious

00:24:28.900 --> 00:24:29.440
 words

00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:29.799
 the

00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:30.080
 psalmist

00:24:30.080 --> 00:24:30.299
 is

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:30.660
 saying

00:24:30.660 --> 00:24:31.100
 something

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:32.880
 that

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.299
 God

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:33.840
 by his

00:24:33.840 --> 00:24:34.340
 spirit

00:24:34.340 --> 00:24:34.680
 and his

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.000
 wisdom

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.460
 has brought

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:35.980
 you here

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:37.340
 to hear

00:24:37.340 --> 00:24:39.160
 and

00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:39.400
 Jesus

00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:39.779
 said

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.519
 he

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:40.960
 that has

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.080
 the

00:24:41.080 --> 00:24:41.299
 ears

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:41.700
 to hear

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:43.460
 let him

00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:43.840
 hear

00:24:43.840 --> 00:24:45.840
 see

00:24:45.840 --> 00:24:45.960
 the

00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:46.140
 God

00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:46.360
 of the

00:24:46.360 --> 00:24:46.539
 Bible

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:46.720
 is

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:46.940
 never

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:47.180
 late

00:24:47.180 --> 00:24:47.380
 he's

00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:47.640
 always

00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:47.840
 on

00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:48.240
 time

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.779
 you

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:50.039
 need

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.860
 to

00:24:50.860 --> 00:24:51.259
 remember

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:51.519
 that

00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:51.820
 God

00:24:51.820 --> 00:24:52.180
 delay

00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:52.360
 in

00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:52.820
 answering

00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:53.120
 your

00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:53.500
 prayer

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.120
 is

00:24:54.120 --> 00:24:54.380
 not

00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:54.600
 his

00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:55.200
 denial

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:55.500
 of

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:55.840
 prayer

00:24:55.840 --> 00:24:59.680
 sometimes

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:00.160
 we

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:00.420
 get

00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:01.140
 frustrated

00:25:01.140 --> 00:25:01.800
 because

00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:02.780
 we

00:25:02.780 --> 00:25:03.320
 believe

00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:03.560
 that

00:25:03.560 --> 00:25:04.020
 God

00:25:04.020 --> 00:25:05.180
 deals

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:05.360
 with

00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:05.760
 us

00:25:05.760 --> 00:25:06.440
 like

00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:07.640
 McDonald's

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:08.960
 instant

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:10.600
 and

00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:10.720
 it

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.040
 doesn't

00:25:11.040 --> 00:25:11.440
 work

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:11.680
 like

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:12.200
 that

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:14.580
 not

00:25:14.580 --> 00:25:14.740
 the

00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:14.920
 God

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.060
 of

00:25:15.060 --> 00:25:15.180
 the

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:15.500
 Bible

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:17.580
 he's

00:25:17.580 --> 00:25:17.700
 a

00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:17.880
 God

00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.000
 of

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:18.140
 your

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:18.520
 making

00:25:18.520 --> 00:25:18.960
 God

00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:19.280
 doesn't

00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:19.540
 work

00:25:19.540 --> 00:25:19.760
 like

00:25:19.760 --> 00:25:20.940
 that

00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:23.080
 and

00:25:23.080 --> 00:25:23.240
 so

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.460
 when

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:23.720
 David

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.039
 said

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.200
 the

00:25:24.200 --> 00:25:24.460
 Lord

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:24.620
 is

00:25:24.620 --> 00:25:24.820
 my

00:25:24.820 --> 00:25:25.120
 shepherd

00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:25.340
 I

00:25:25.340 --> 00:25:25.539
 shall

00:25:25.539 --> 00:25:25.700
 not

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.000
 what

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.100
 what

00:25:30.100 --> 00:25:30.259
 I

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:30.559
 believe

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:30.820
 he's

00:25:30.820 --> 00:25:31.160
 saying

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:31.500
 and

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:31.779
 I

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:32.120
 stand

00:25:32.120 --> 00:25:32.259
 to

00:25:32.259 --> 00:25:32.400
 be

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:32.759
 corrected

00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:35.360
 that

00:25:35.360 --> 00:25:35.740
 as long

00:25:35.740 --> 00:25:35.960
 as

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.420
 God

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:36.700
 he

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:36.900
 has

00:25:36.900 --> 00:25:37.340
 God

00:25:37.340 --> 00:25:40.019
 he

00:25:40.019 --> 00:25:41.160
 doesn't

00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:41.460
 lack

00:25:41.460 --> 00:25:42.059
 anything

00:25:42.059 --> 00:25:44.519
 as long

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:44.759
 as he

00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:45.019
 has

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.360
 God

00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:47.059
 doesn't

00:25:47.059 --> 00:25:47.220
 mean

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.380
 that

00:25:47.380 --> 00:25:47.539
 he

00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:48.380
 wouldn't

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:48.580
 want

00:25:48.580 --> 00:25:48.920
 breakfast

00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:49.240
 tomorrow

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:49.660
 morning

00:25:49.660 --> 00:25:50.540
 or

00:25:50.540 --> 00:25:50.779
 he

00:25:50.779 --> 00:25:51.080
 wouldn't

00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:51.380
 want

00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:51.800
 to

00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:51.960
 go

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:52.140
 to

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:52.440
 work

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.080
 but

00:25:53.080 --> 00:25:53.259
 he's

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:53.500
 saying

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:53.759
 in

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:53.960
 his

00:27:58.280 --> 00:27:58.520
 sheep

00:27:58.520 --> 00:27:58.640
 we

00:27:58.640 --> 00:27:58.780
 will

00:27:58.780 --> 00:27:58.980
 be

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.360
 aware

00:27:59.360 --> 00:27:59.580
 that

00:27:59.580 --> 00:27:59.720
 they

00:27:59.720 --> 00:27:59.880
 do

00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:00.080
 not

00:28:00.080 --> 00:28:00.340
 lie

00:28:00.340 --> 00:28:00.560
 down

00:28:00.560 --> 00:28:01.020
 easily

00:28:01.020 --> 00:28:01.340
 in

00:28:01.340 --> 00:28:01.600
 fact

00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:02.379
 a sheep

00:28:02.379 --> 00:28:02.519
 will

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:02.719
 only

00:28:02.719 --> 00:28:03.019
 lie

00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:03.339
 down

00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:04.019
 when

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:04.240
 they

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:04.500
 are

00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:04.939
 first

00:28:04.939 --> 00:28:05.500
 free

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:05.699
 from

00:28:05.699 --> 00:28:06.059
 fear

00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:07.579
 we

00:28:07.579 --> 00:28:07.759
 see

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.079
 sheep

00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:08.199
 are

00:28:08.199 --> 00:28:08.480
 easily

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:08.980
 frightened

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.099
 the

00:28:10.099 --> 00:28:10.519
 tiniest

00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:10.980
 disturbance

00:28:10.980 --> 00:28:11.519
 like a

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:11.859
 shadow

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:12.279
 or a

00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:12.679
 wind

00:28:12.679 --> 00:28:13.419
 blowing

00:28:13.419 --> 00:28:13.819
 against

00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:14.299
 the branches

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:14.699
 of a

00:28:14.699 --> 00:28:14.939
 tree

00:28:14.939 --> 00:28:15.539
 will

00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:15.819
 keep

00:28:15.819 --> 00:28:16.039
 them

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:16.559
 on edge

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.259
 secondly

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.759
 the sheep

00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.059
 will only

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:20.279
 lie

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:20.619
 down if

00:28:20.619 --> 00:28:20.879
 they are

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:21.159
 free

00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:21.539
 from

00:28:21.539 --> 00:28:22.359
 tension

00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:24.359
 sheep

00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:24.679
 have a

00:28:24.679 --> 00:28:25.179
 hierarchy

00:28:25.179 --> 00:28:26.000
 and if

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.279
 there is

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:26.699
 conflict

00:28:26.699 --> 00:28:27.240
 in the

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:27.619
 herd

00:28:27.619 --> 00:28:28.359
 they will

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.799
 remain

00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:29.459
 restless

00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:30.120
 thirdly

00:28:30.120 --> 00:28:31.559
 if the

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:31.740
 sheep

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.180
 is hungry

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:33.380
 they will

00:28:33.380 --> 00:28:33.840
 remain

00:28:33.840 --> 00:28:34.720
 restless

00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:36.519
 finally

00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.500
 if there

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:38.799
 are any

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.539
 flies and

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:40.059
 parasites

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:40.860
 attacking the

00:28:40.860 --> 00:28:41.120
 sheep

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:42.220
 they make it

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:42.799
 impossible for

00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:43.180
 the sheep

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:43.880
 to relax

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:45.940
 and rest

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:50.579
 God the

00:28:50.579 --> 00:28:50.960
 good shepherd

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.380
 wants to

00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:51.700
 lead us

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:52.200
 into true

00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:52.660
 rest

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:53.559
 but many

00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:53.920
 of us

00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:54.120
 are

00:28:54.120 --> 00:28:54.579
 spiritually

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:55.100
 restless

00:28:55.100 --> 00:28:55.579
 why

00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:56.720
 because we

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:57.140
 are full

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:57.759
 of fear

00:28:57.759 --> 00:28:58.839
 we are

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.160
 worried

00:28:59.160 --> 00:28:59.640
 about the

00:28:59.640 --> 00:28:59.940
 future

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:01.079
 we live

00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:01.319
 in our

00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:01.579
 lives

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:01.960
 full of

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.500
 tensions

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:03.039
 with some

00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:03.359
 of us

00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:04.019
 holding on

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.660
 to grudges

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:05.559
 and forgiveness

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.599
 from the

00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:07.099
 past

00:29:07.099 --> 00:29:08.299
 we are

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:08.740
 distracted

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.400
 and irritated

00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.279
 by constant

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.819
 noise

00:29:10.819 --> 00:29:11.900
 life as we

00:29:11.900 --> 00:29:12.640
 live in

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.019
 a fallen

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.480
 world

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.359
 and so

00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:16.859
 what God

00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:18.019
 does

00:29:18.019 --> 00:29:18.559
 sometimes

00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:18.960
 God

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:19.460
 forces us

00:29:19.460 --> 00:29:20.099
 into rest

00:29:20.099 --> 00:29:21.539
 when we

00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:21.960
 think about

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:22.339
 it how

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:22.980
 many times

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:23.339
 God

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:24.259
 has had

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:24.599
 to show

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:24.900
 us

00:29:24.900 --> 00:29:26.000
 to shut

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:26.640
 us down

00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:27.680
 for a

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:28.120
 variety of

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:28.400
 reason

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:32.860
 when we

00:29:32.860 --> 00:29:33.280
 think about

00:29:33.280 --> 00:29:33.540
 it

00:29:33.540 --> 00:29:34.200
 God

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:35.000
 works in

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:35.520
 ways that

00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:35.980
 are so

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:36.759
 profoundly

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.300
 mysterious

00:29:37.300 --> 00:29:38.820
 it leaves

00:29:38.820 --> 00:29:39.640
 us perplexed

00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:40.180
 and confused

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.540
 and yet

00:29:40.540 --> 00:29:41.100
 he is in

00:29:41.100 --> 00:29:41.540
 control

00:29:41.540 --> 00:29:44.940
 maybe through

00:29:44.940 --> 00:29:45.420
 a time of

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:45.780
 waiting

00:29:45.780 --> 00:29:46.620
 God wants

00:29:46.620 --> 00:29:47.140
 you to

00:29:47.140 --> 00:29:47.480
 rest

00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:48.620
 or through

00:29:48.620 --> 00:29:49.000
 a period

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:49.520
 of sickness

00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:49.940
 or job

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:50.360
 loss

00:29:50.360 --> 00:29:51.140
 or a

00:29:51.140 --> 00:29:51.759
 door that

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.720
 did not

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:53.280
 open as

00:29:53.280 --> 00:29:54.080
 you expected

00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:54.779
 perhaps

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:57.099
 expected it

00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:57.379
 to

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:58.119
 he closes

00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:58.659
 his door

00:29:58.659 --> 00:30:00.619
 and if

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:00.839
 we are

00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:01.439
 being honest

00:30:01.439 --> 00:30:02.299
 as we

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:02.639
 go through

00:30:02.639 --> 00:30:03.379
 some of

00:30:03.379 --> 00:30:03.579
 those

00:30:03.579 --> 00:30:04.139
 experiences

00:30:04.139 --> 00:30:04.619
 at times

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:05.039
 we felt

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:05.859
 frustrating

00:30:05.859 --> 00:30:08.699
 but what

00:30:08.699 --> 00:30:09.179
 God in

00:30:09.179 --> 00:30:09.619
 fact was

00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:10.599
 leading you

00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:10.879
 to

00:30:10.879 --> 00:30:12.079
 is rest

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.679
 God

00:30:14.679 --> 00:30:15.019
 does not

00:30:15.019 --> 00:30:15.379
 force us

00:30:15.379 --> 00:30:15.619
 to rest

00:30:15.619 --> 00:30:16.039
 because

00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:16.659
 he is

00:30:16.659 --> 00:30:17.019
 cruel

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:18.299
 he does

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:18.699
 it because

00:30:18.699 --> 00:30:19.079
 he loves

00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:19.460
 us and

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:20.039
 have our

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:20.779
 best interests

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:21.180
 at her

00:30:21.180 --> 00:30:24.819
 and in

00:30:24.819 --> 00:30:25.559
 the context

00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:27.519
 of Psalm

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:28.480
 23 and

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:28.819
 God's

00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:29.099
 words

00:30:29.099 --> 00:30:30.879
 the secret

00:30:30.879 --> 00:30:31.480
 of rest

00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:32.899
 is resting

00:30:32.899 --> 00:30:34.420
 in the

00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:34.720
 shepherd

00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:35.700
 trusting

00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:37.279
 in the

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:37.639
 shepherd

00:30:37.639 --> 00:30:39.220
 sheep only

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:39.619
 lie down

00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:40.119
 if they feel

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:40.799
 safe in the

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.639
 presence of

00:30:41.639 --> 00:30:42.099
 the shepherd

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:43.359
 in the same

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:43.720
 way we will

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.500
 never experience

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:45.039
 true rest

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:45.839
 until we learn

00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:46.920
 that God

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.779
 is in

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.420
 control

00:30:48.420 --> 00:30:51.000
 he's in

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:51.600
 control

00:30:51.600 --> 00:30:52.060
 when we

00:30:52.060 --> 00:30:52.220
 are on

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:52.340
 the

00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:52.580
 mountain

00:30:52.580 --> 00:30:53.019

00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:55.000
 in control

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.400
 when we

00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:55.519
 are in

00:31:02.620 --> 00:31:03.600
 good about

00:31:03.600 --> 00:31:04.539

 now that

00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:30.580
 needs to

00:31:30.580 --> 00:31:30.860
 be in

00:31:30.860 --> 00:31:31.180

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.120
 rest

00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:17.839
 when I

00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:18.200
 was at

00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:19.019
 Bible

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:19.400
 College

00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:19.799
 in

00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:20.299
 Scotland

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:23.740
 where I

00:32:23.740 --> 00:32:24.019
 did

00:32:24.019 --> 00:32:24.779
 missiology

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:27.059
 it was a

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:27.360
 missionary

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:27.960
 college

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:28.539
 and very

00:32:28.539 --> 00:32:28.880
 often

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:30.460
 when the

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:30.819
 people

00:32:30.819 --> 00:32:32.180
 when the

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:32.480
 students

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:32.860
 were going

00:32:32.860 --> 00:32:33.220
 out

00:32:33.220 --> 00:32:34.180
 to people

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.539
 like

00:32:34.539 --> 00:32:35.900
 China

00:32:35.900 --> 00:32:36.420
 even

00:32:36.420 --> 00:32:36.759
 India

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.819
 India

00:32:37.819 --> 00:32:38.279
 and so

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.519
 on

00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:39.460
 Nepal

00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:40.779
 there's a

00:32:40.779 --> 00:32:41.200
 hymn

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.259
 that had

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:43.880
 a recurring

00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:44.579
 theme

00:32:44.579 --> 00:32:49.480
 that brought

00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:49.900
 a lot of

00:32:49.900 --> 00:32:50.380
 emotions

00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:51.900
 in the

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:52.259
 college

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:53.920
 and it

00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.340
 goes something

00:32:54.340 --> 00:32:54.819
 like this

00:32:54.819 --> 00:32:55.279
 we rest

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:55.779
 on thee

 I'm doing

 he

00:33:44.699 --> 00:33:45.059
 leaves me

00:33:45.059 --> 00:33:45.480
 beside

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:45.659
 the

00:33:45.659 --> 00:33:46.359
 waters

00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:47.220
 the

00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:47.419
 imagery

00:33:47.419 --> 00:33:47.720
 here

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:47.859
 is

00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:48.099
 something

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:48.500
 like

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:49.159
 if

00:33:49.159 --> 00:33:49.259
 you

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:49.379
 are

00:33:49.379 --> 00:33:49.679
 standing

00:33:49.679 --> 00:33:50.079
 beside

00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:50.279
 the

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.599
 lake

00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:51.579
 calm

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:51.759
 and

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.159
 tranquil

00:33:52.159 --> 00:33:52.519
 and the

00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:52.799
 sound

00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:53.159
 around

00:33:53.159 --> 00:33:53.359
 the

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:53.639
 lake

00:33:53.639 --> 00:33:54.319
 is

00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:54.720
 peaceful

00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:57.980
 but why

00:33:57.980 --> 00:33:58.339
 does

00:33:58.339 --> 00:33:58.519
 the

00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:58.819
 sheep

00:33:58.819 --> 00:33:59.159
 need

00:33:59.159 --> 00:33:59.539
 still

00:33:59.539 --> 00:33:59.759
 and

00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.039
 quiet

00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.419
 waters

00:34:00.419 --> 00:34:00.779
 you may

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:01.079
 ask

00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:02.980
 well

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:03.339
 the answer

00:34:03.339 --> 00:34:03.559
 is

00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:03.819
 quite

00:34:03.819 --> 00:34:04.559
 simple

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.519
 sheep

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:08.380
 that's

00:34:08.380 --> 00:34:09.019
 naturally

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:09.440
 afraid

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:09.900
 of fast

00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:10.199
 moving

00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:10.559
 water

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.420
 you see

00:34:12.420 --> 00:34:12.659
 if the

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:12.880
 sheep

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.539
 fall into

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:13.940
 the fast

00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:14.179
 moving

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:14.619
 water

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:15.360
 its wool

00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:16.079
 gets soaked

00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:16.559
 and heavy

00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:17.619
 and it

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:18.179
 can quickly

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:18.579
 drown

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:20.460
 so a good

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:21.019
 shepherd does

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:21.559
 not lead

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:22.000
 the sheep

00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:22.460
 to a

00:34:22.460 --> 00:34:22.860
 dangerous

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:23.679
 flow stream

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:24.619
 but he

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:25.380
 finds calms

00:34:25.380 --> 00:34:25.820
 and quiet

00:34:25.820 --> 00:34:26.119
 flowing

00:34:26.119 --> 00:34:26.659
 stream

00:34:26.659 --> 00:34:27.420
 where the

00:34:27.420 --> 00:34:27.639
 shepherd

00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:28.320
 can drink

00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:29.460
 water

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:30.039
 safely

00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.820
 what does

00:34:32.820 --> 00:34:33.219
 this mean

00:34:33.219 --> 00:34:33.940
 for us

00:34:33.940 --> 00:34:35.159
 many

00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:35.159


00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:35.159


00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:35.420
 of us

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:35.800
 might be

00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:36.139
 drowning

00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:37.000
 in the

00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:37.220
 rushing

00:34:37.220 --> 00:34:37.840
 waters

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:38.760
 right now

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:40.679
 of the

00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:40.900
 busy

00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:41.539
 life

00:34:41.539 --> 00:34:43.440
 some

00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:43.720
 of us

00:34:43.720 --> 00:34:44.000
 might be

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:44.340
 caught up

00:34:44.340 --> 00:34:44.599
 with the

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:44.880
 rushing

00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:45.260
 waters

00:34:45.260 --> 00:34:46.220
 of business

00:34:46.220 --> 00:34:46.559
 and be

00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:47.079
 always on

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.400
 the move

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:47.659
 never

00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:48.139
 stopping

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:49.480
 some

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:49.840
 of us

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:49.960
 are

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.619
 involved

00:34:50.619 --> 00:34:50.900
 in the

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.119
 rushing

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:51.480
 waters

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:51.980
 of social

00:34:51.980 --> 00:34:52.360
 media

00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:53.519
 with

00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:54.119
 incessant

00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:54.480
 texting

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:55.119
 and attention

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:55.599
 to your

00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:55.900
 phone

00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:56.400
 noise

00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:57.240
 and there

00:34:57.240 --> 00:34:57.519
 is no

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:57.940
 peace

00:34:57.940 --> 00:35:00.079
 and yet

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:00.900
 David says

00:35:00.900 --> 00:35:02.880
 with his

00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:03.260
 Lord

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:04.000
 he is

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:04.360
 led

00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:06.700
 by the

00:35:06.700 --> 00:35:07.039
 still

00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:07.559
 waters

00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:09.860
 I'm going

00:35:09.860 --> 00:35:10.159
 to close

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:10.440
 with the

00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:10.740
 last

00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:11.679
 because I

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:12.039
 want to

00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:12.460
 preach again

00:35:12.460 --> 00:35:12.740
 so I

00:35:12.740 --> 00:35:13.119
 don't want

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:13.519
 Steve to

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:13.980
 ban me

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:14.480
 so I'm

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:14.599
 going to

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:14.740
 pray

00:35:14.740 --> 00:35:17.840
 he wrote

00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:18.679
 restore my

00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:19.119
 soul

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:21.480
 and I

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:21.820
 believe

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:22.880
 this is

00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:23.960
 a conduit

00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:24.240
 for the

00:35:24.240 --> 00:35:24.780
 rest of

00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:24.900
 the

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:25.260
 psalm

00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:26.619
 I

00:35:26.619 --> 00:35:26.840
 believe

00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:27.039
 the

00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:27.559
 psalmist

00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:28.119
 here

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:32.679
 is asking

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:33.179
 us

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:34.639
 to see

00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:35.119
 his life

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:35.400
 in a

00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:35.639
 different

00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:36.099
 light

00:35:36.099 --> 00:35:36.699
 where

00:35:36.699 --> 00:35:37.199
 he

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:38.039
 is

00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:38.860
 restored

00:35:38.860 --> 00:35:42.059
 you see

00:35:42.059 --> 00:35:42.239
 this

00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:42.719
 restoration

00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:43.179
 here is

00:35:43.179 --> 00:35:43.480
 to give

00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:43.639
 back

00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:44.000
 something

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:44.679
 that was

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:45.039
 lost

00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:45.199
 or

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:45.440
 taken

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:45.840
 away

00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.440

 back

00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:52.420
 I

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:52.820
 believe

00:35:52.820 --> 00:35:53.539
 on

00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:56.900
 when

00:35:56.900 --> 00:35:57.099
 he

00:35:57.099 --> 00:35:57.440
 committed

 adultery

00:36:05.900 --> 00:36:06.320
 sisters

00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.579
 this

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.420
 experience

00:36:08.420 --> 00:36:09.539
 in David's

00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:09.980
 life

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:12.079
 left an

00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:12.519
 indelible

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:13.079
 mark

00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:13.740
 on him

00:36:13.739 --> 00:36:15.699
 what I

00:36:15.699 --> 00:36:15.899
 find

00:36:15.899 --> 00:36:16.339
 disturbing

00:36:16.339 --> 00:36:16.619
 about

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:16.879
 that

00:36:16.879 --> 00:36:17.339
 story

00:36:17.339 --> 00:36:17.559
 is

00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:17.719
 the

00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:17.939
 fact

00:36:17.939 --> 00:36:18.479
 that

00:36:18.479 --> 00:36:20.579
 when

00:36:20.579 --> 00:36:23.379
 Bathsheba's

00:36:23.379 --> 00:36:25.859
 husband

00:36:25.859 --> 00:36:26.319
 was

00:36:26.319 --> 00:36:26.819
 eventually

00:36:26.819 --> 00:36:27.219
 killed

00:36:27.219 --> 00:36:28.919
 David

00:36:28.919 --> 00:36:29.439
 sent a

00:36:29.439 --> 00:36:29.919
 message

00:36:29.919 --> 00:36:30.679
 to

00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:31.179
 Joab

00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:31.579
 and said

00:36:31.579 --> 00:36:32.000
 to him

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:33.419
 don't

00:36:33.419 --> 00:36:34.359
 let this

00:36:34.359 --> 00:36:34.819
 trouble

00:36:34.819 --> 00:36:35.179
 you

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:37.519
 can I

00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:37.899
 say to

 you my

 brothers and

00:36:38.699 --> 00:36:39.039
 sisters

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.659
 the thing

00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:40.299
 that does not

00:36:40.299 --> 00:36:41.299
 trouble us

00:36:41.300 --> 00:36:43.280
 troubles God

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:45.580
 the sin

00:36:45.580 --> 00:36:46.340
 that does not

00:36:46.340 --> 00:36:47.220
 disturb us

00:36:47.220 --> 00:36:49.280
 disturbs God

00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:49.820
 and God

00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:50.400
 heard

00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:51.820
 what David

00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:52.220
 did

00:36:52.220 --> 00:36:53.620
 saw what

00:36:53.620 --> 00:36:53.860
 David

00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:54.100
 did

00:36:54.100 --> 00:36:54.519
 understood

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:55.080
 what David

00:36:55.080 --> 00:36:55.320
 did

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:55.920
 and he

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:56.560
 sent Nathan

00:36:56.560 --> 00:36:57.460
 to David

00:36:57.460 --> 00:36:59.240
 and sending

00:36:59.240 --> 00:36:59.760
 him

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:00.860
 Nathan

00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:02.060
 was able

00:37:02.060 --> 00:37:02.700
 to tell him

00:37:02.700 --> 00:37:03.960
 a little

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:04.780
 story

00:37:04.780 --> 00:37:07.060
 that indicated

00:37:07.060 --> 00:37:08.620
 that something

00:37:08.620 --> 00:37:09.360
 was wrong

00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.500
 and David

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:13.200
 draw a

00:37:13.200 --> 00:37:13.740
 conclusion

00:37:13.740 --> 00:37:15.340
 that the

00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:15.760
 person

00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:16.960
 who stole

00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:17.539
 the sheep

00:37:17.539 --> 00:37:20.240
 was wrong

00:37:20.240 --> 00:37:21.500
 and Nathan

00:37:21.500 --> 00:37:22.039
 said you

00:37:24.120 --> 00:37:24.780
 confessed

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:26.840
 his sin

00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.420
 and as a

00:37:29.420 --> 00:37:29.920
 result of

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:30.360
 that he

00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:31.140
 was restored

00:37:31.140 --> 00:37:32.200
 restored

00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:32.579
 myself

00:37:32.579 --> 00:37:34.039
 he was

00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:34.539
 restored

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:37.500
 I wonder

00:37:37.500 --> 00:37:37.820
 if the

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.140
 Lord has

00:37:38.140 --> 00:37:38.460
 brought you

00:37:38.460 --> 00:37:38.840
 here this

00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.140
 evening

00:37:39.139 --> 00:37:40.980
 that he

00:37:40.980 --> 00:37:41.879
 may restore

00:37:41.879 --> 00:37:42.420
 you to

00:37:42.420 --> 00:37:42.859
 himself

00:37:42.859 --> 00:37:44.159
 for whatever

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:44.659
 the reason

00:37:44.659 --> 00:37:46.799
 you know

00:37:46.799 --> 00:37:47.279
 that Peter

00:37:47.279 --> 00:37:47.799
 was also

00:37:47.799 --> 00:37:48.299
 restored

00:37:48.299 --> 00:37:51.059
 he had

00:37:51.059 --> 00:37:51.480
 failed

00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:52.480
 the Lord

00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:52.779
 Jesus

00:37:52.779 --> 00:37:53.500
 miserably

00:37:53.500 --> 00:37:55.400
 yet we

00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:56.319
 find in

00:37:56.319 --> 00:37:58.139
 John 21

00:37:58.139 --> 00:38:00.239
 around

00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:01.400
 a barbecue

00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:02.139
 breakfast of

00:38:02.139 --> 00:38:02.460
 fish

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:04.699
 Jesus

00:38:04.699 --> 00:38:05.579
 asked him

00:38:05.579 --> 00:38:06.179
 three times

00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:06.460
 do you

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.900
 love me

00:38:06.900 --> 00:38:10.099
 and what

00:38:10.099 --> 00:38:10.320
 Jesus

00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:11.420
 said to

00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:11.800
 Peter

00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:13.400
 he said

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:13.780
 to you

00:38:13.780 --> 00:38:14.179
 and me

00:38:14.179 --> 00:38:14.860
 this evening

00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:16.300
 as he

00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:17.280
 was restored

00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:18.800
 and recommissioned

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:19.619
 Jesus said

00:38:19.619 --> 00:38:20.079
 to him

00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:21.119
 follow me

00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.139
 and I'm

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:23.579
 sure

00:38:23.579 --> 00:38:24.820
 that those

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:25.220
 words

00:38:25.220 --> 00:38:25.760
 rang

00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.179
 in Peter's

00:38:27.179 --> 00:38:27.800
 heart

00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:28.740
 like a

00:38:28.740 --> 00:38:29.039
 dagger

00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:30.779
 but a

00:38:30.779 --> 00:38:31.019
 dagger

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:31.519
 of love

00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:31.840
 you see

00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:32.440
 because in

00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:32.779
 Matthew

00:38:32.779 --> 00:38:33.559
 chapter 4

00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:35.719
 the lake

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:36.320
 of Galilee

00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.139
 Jesus had

00:38:38.139 --> 00:38:38.820
 called Peter

00:38:38.820 --> 00:38:39.360
 to follow

00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:39.719
 him

00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:40.920
 and he

00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:41.559
 would remember

00:38:41.559 --> 00:38:42.139
 that

00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:44.440
 and the rest

00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:45.039
 is history

00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.079
 he followed

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:47.599
 the Lord

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:48.119
 Jesus

00:38:48.119 --> 00:38:49.219
 may God

00:38:49.219 --> 00:38:49.980
 help us

00:38:49.980 --> 00:38:51.300
 to have the

00:38:51.300 --> 00:38:51.739
 assurance

00:38:51.739 --> 00:38:52.360
 and the

00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:52.739
 confidence

00:38:52.739 --> 00:38:53.460
 to be able

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:53.960
 to say

00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:55.500
 the Lord

00:38:55.500 --> 00:38:56.199
 is my

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:56.519
 shepherd

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:58.240
 and to

00:38:58.240 --> 00:38:58.900
 follow him

00:38:58.900 --> 00:39:00.699
 as an

00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:01.059
 obedient

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.460
 sheep

00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:02.679
 for Jesus

00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:03.099
 sake

00:39:03.099 --> 00:39:03.900
 Amen
