WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.980 This one's not a very long psalm, and it's kind of fitting just to walk through it a few verses at a time. 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.120 So, if I walk through the first couple verses and it seems a little slow, it'll pick up. 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.140 But I think it's just more helpful as we go through this psalm. 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:29.300 This is the beginning of this psalm, and some of your Bibles might have a couple little titles to it. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.280 One is, to the choir master, according to do not destroy. 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:39.100 Some might say a mitum of David. 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:51.620 So, what we pick up from these phrases is that this psalm is used in the larger assembly of praising and singing in worship service. 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.799 So, it's kind of cool. 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:59.579 They don't really know what the mitum is, other than it's probably a liturgical or a musical term. 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.180 And the fact that there's a directive to the choir master, it's like, hey, when we sing this, this is how we're going to sing it. 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.579 Or, you know, this is the tune we're going to use, or something to that effect. 00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:20.280 Which is pretty cool, because we know that it was used to encourage and unify a larger group of people way back then. 00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:21.739 And we get to do the same thing. 00:01:23.739 --> 00:01:30.540 This is one where it's, again, like a personal lament that David wrote during his persecution of Saul. 00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:35.200 And this one in particular is when he was trapped in a cave. 00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:38.560 You guys will remember, you know, he's running for Saul for his life. 00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:40.120 Saul wants to kill him. 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.439 And he ends up finding refuge in a cave. 00:01:44.740 --> 00:01:52.380 But before we read the verse, it's helpful to remember that David here is being obedient to what God has called him to do. 00:01:52.620 --> 00:01:57.740 So, it's not like he's sinned and somebody is chasing him down for punishment. 00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:04.640 But he's obeying God, and yet he still finds himself being chased by Saul and 3,000 men. 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:09.120 And although David has an army, he's still outnumbered like five to one. 00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:12.199 So, you know, he's doing this for God's sake. 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.360 Which is good to keep in mind as we read through this psalm. 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:22.139 Because it's helpful to keep that obedience sign up in front of us. 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:28.580 As we walk through this, we see that he's working through this suffering, knowing he's following God. 00:02:28.580 --> 00:02:35.680 So, the first section of this psalm is like a prayer. 00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:39.920 And so, we're just going to go through it that way. 00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:46.100 Verse 1, we see David's real, his desperate plea for help. 00:02:46.820 --> 00:02:49.820 He's crying out, be merciful to me, oh God, be merciful. 00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:54.939 So, we kind of get right from that the urgency of David's plea. 00:02:55.060 --> 00:03:03.879 Because it's as if he's repeating it twice, hoping for like a faster delivery. 00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:11.099 Or he's repeating it twice because he doesn't have any other way to rephrase it. 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:12.879 And that's all he's got, so he says it again. 00:03:13.180 --> 00:03:16.500 Like, be merciful to me, oh God, be merciful to me. 00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:21.620 So, we really get the feeling of David's desperation in this. 00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:25.319 And he's crying out for God's protection. 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.500 Which leads us to the next thought. 00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:30.639 And that is David's humility. 00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:34.719 His being humble towards his God. 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.139 And you guys all know that humility isn't always an easy thing to do. 00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:39.520 Right? 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.180 Because we want to fix things ourselves. 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:43.500 We want to do things ourselves. 00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:46.960 We want to be strong enough to do that. 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.300 And David could be that way. 00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:51.180 You know, David was a strong man. 00:03:51.340 --> 00:03:56.500 A man, you know, that wasn't foreign to battles. 00:03:57.419 --> 00:03:58.439 He took Goliath out. 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.439 And yet we see right from the beginning that David is very humble. 00:04:03.300 --> 00:04:04.539 Be merciful to me, oh God. 00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:05.180 Be merciful. 00:04:05.539 --> 00:04:07.860 For in you my soul takes refuge. 00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:11.199 Not in myself or in my strength, but in God. 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:16.039 So, right from the beginning we see that David's humble before God. 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:28.040 And then after the humility, we have David's confidence that we get to get a glimpse of as well. 00:04:28.200 --> 00:04:31.920 So, he's confidently crying out to God for mercy. 00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:36.480 Knowing that God is our rock and our salvation. 00:04:37.180 --> 00:04:37.320 Right? 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:41.439 He says that God will send from heaven and save me. 00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:45.579 So, he knows God is there and it's his refuge. 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:47.219 Let me back up just a little bit. 00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:50.519 The end of verse 1, in the shadow of your wings. 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.659 He's speaking of God that David will take refuge. 00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:57.039 Until the storms of destruction pass by. 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:04.220 We also see in verse 2 that he cries out to God. 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.439 But he knows God is there to fulfill David's purpose. 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.240 Or God's purpose for David. 00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:14.140 So, it's pretty cool in that even though he's in this trial. 00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:16.920 He knows God has a purpose for David. 00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:19.620 And God is going to make it come about. 00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:24.139 Which really is the fuel behind David's confidence. 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.079 Going into that. 00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:30.540 Humble knowing that God isn't forced to do this. 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.120 But confident knowing that God has a purpose. 00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:34.199 And he's pulling him through it. 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.959 And that confidence knowing that God will save him. 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:43.740 Leads on into verse 3. 00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:47.800 He will send from heaven and save me. 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.400 He will put to shame him who tramples on me. 00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:51.180 Selah. 00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:53.920 God will send out his steadfast love. 00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:55.460 And his faithfulness. 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.540 And then as it leads into verse 4. 00:05:59.860 --> 00:06:05.280 Verse 4 really gives us a glimpse of David's trial. 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:06.939 His suffering that he's going through. 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:08.100 What he's feeling. 00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:09.879 His soul is in the midst of lions. 00:06:10.580 --> 00:06:13.620 He lies down amid fiery beasts. 00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:16.680 The children of men whose teeth are spears and arrows. 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.560 Whose tongues are sharp swords. 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.079 So a lot of imagery there. 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.040 But we all know that David is literally and physically running for his life. 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.379 With people who he's known and loved. 00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:35.240 Who were just seeking to kill him. 00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:37.079 You know people who say one thing. 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.420 And really want the worst for him. 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.720 And not the best of him. 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.939 So we get a picture of that in verse 4. 00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:44.199 And then verse 5. 00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:48.060 Verse 5 is kind of like the chorus to this first verse. 00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:49.800 And it's really. 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.199 It's really. 00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:57.399 David kind of given a refocus of the bigger picture. 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.319 He says be exalted oh God above the heavens. 00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:02.459 Let your glory be over all the earth. 00:07:02.459 --> 00:07:08.819 So it's a call that the whole earth would see God who he is. 00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:10.859 And would give God the glory that he deserves. 00:07:11.039 --> 00:07:13.519 So it's kind of strange that he walks through this. 00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:15.319 He's confident in who God is. 00:07:15.379 --> 00:07:16.919 He's confident that God's going to save him. 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:19.120 And then he's. 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.939 He wants the world to take glory in. 00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:25.859 And exalt God for who he is. 00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:26.540 So it's. 00:07:26.900 --> 00:07:27.560 To me it's kind of cool. 00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:28.960 Because it just kind of ends that. 00:07:29.259 --> 00:07:30.319 That verse with. 00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:32.939 Just kind of readjusting his focus. 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:33.620 And realizing. 00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:34.620 Like. 00:07:34.900 --> 00:07:35.139 I'm. 00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:35.900 I'm here. 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.860 And I'm here because God wants me here. 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.080 And God is over all of this. 00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:43.180 And then verse 6. 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.520 Really starts kind of like the second verse of the song. 00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:46.980 At least that's. 00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:48.720 It kind of laid out that way. 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.100 As I was studying it. 00:07:50.580 --> 00:07:51.800 And we see in verse 6. 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.020 As things start to change. 00:07:54.019 --> 00:07:56.060 David's hope in God. 00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:57.599 Kind of takes a switch from. 00:07:57.719 --> 00:07:58.399 From trusting. 00:07:58.539 --> 00:07:59.479 To actually seeing. 00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:00.779 Verse 6 says. 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:02.500 They set a net for my steps. 00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:04.699 My soul was bowed down. 00:08:05.099 --> 00:08:06.519 They dug a pit in my way. 00:08:07.219 --> 00:08:09.459 But they had fallen into it themselves. 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:10.180 Selah. 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.120 And then from here. 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:12.319 We see that. 00:08:12.979 --> 00:08:13.919 He is. 00:08:14.919 --> 00:08:16.099 God has rescued him. 00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:17.759 From this trial. 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.759 And now. 00:08:19.180 --> 00:08:20.159 The rest of the. 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.039 The rest of this song. 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:22.979 Is him praising. 00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:24.120 He is praising. 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:25.220 He is praising for the triumph. 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.140 Of his God. 00:08:26.220 --> 00:08:27.180 He is praising for what. 00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:29.140 The salvation that he has been given. 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:30.360 So verse 7. 00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:32.639 My heart is steadfast. 00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:33.159 O God. 00:08:33.259 --> 00:08:34.580 My heart is steadfast. 00:08:34.659 --> 00:08:36.120 I will sing and make melody. 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.039 Awake my glory. 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:38.639 Awake. 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:39.659 O harp and lyre. 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.899 I will awake the dawn. 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:44.180 I will give thanks to the Lord. 00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:46.279 I will give thanks to you. 00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:46.659 O Lord. 00:08:46.700 --> 00:08:47.399 Among the peoples. 00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:49.200 I will sing praises to you. 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:50.080 Among the nations. 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.360 For your steadfast love. 00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:53.680 Is great to the heavens. 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.020 And your faithfulness to the clouds. 00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:57.520 And then he repeats. 00:08:57.800 --> 00:08:59.580 The chorus that we had from before. 00:09:00.259 --> 00:09:00.900 Be exalted. 00:09:01.040 --> 00:09:01.440 O God. 00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:02.259 Above the heavens. 00:09:02.540 --> 00:09:04.759 Let your glory be over all the earth. 00:09:05.980 --> 00:09:06.960 So we see. 00:09:07.780 --> 00:09:08.340 This. 00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:09.500 The second verse. 00:09:09.700 --> 00:09:10.200 In chorus. 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.080 Really is David's praise. 00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:12.780 He's. 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:14.180 He's seeking to praise God. 00:09:14.180 --> 00:09:15.040 Among the people. 00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:16.240 In verse 9. 00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:17.320 I will give thanks to you. 00:09:17.400 --> 00:09:17.780 O Lord. 00:09:18.040 --> 00:09:18.920 Among the people. 00:09:19.420 --> 00:09:20.400 I will sing praises to you. 00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:21.480 Among the nations. 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.140 So there's this public profession. 00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:24.220 Of glory. 00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:24.860 Of praise. 00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:25.740 That David's looking. 00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:26.480 To. 00:09:26.560 --> 00:09:27.540 To make happen. 00:09:28.420 --> 00:09:29.700 He's looking to do that. 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:30.400 Because. 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:32.400 It's his duty. 00:09:32.680 --> 00:09:33.379 He's looking to do that. 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:34.540 Because it's a necessity. 00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:36.020 He's also looking to do that. 00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:36.960 Because it's his privilege. 00:09:37.100 --> 00:09:38.220 God has just saved him. 00:09:38.540 --> 00:09:39.900 Literally saved him from death. 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.320 And he knows how God is. 00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:42.280 Has blessed him. 00:09:42.280 --> 00:09:42.920 And has. 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:43.920 Protected him. 00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:45.720 And now he wants to. 00:09:46.100 --> 00:09:47.240 Not hold any of that back. 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.560 And continue to give praise. 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:49.799 To God publicly. 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:50.139 To. 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:50.680 To. 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.759 Whoever is all around him. 00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:54.799 So. 00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:55.700 We get to see. 00:09:55.820 --> 00:09:56.560 Kind of the level. 00:09:56.740 --> 00:09:57.720 Of David's praise. 00:09:57.820 --> 00:09:58.240 And worship. 00:09:59.680 --> 00:10:00.120 Really. 00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:01.820 It's. 00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:03.200 Proportionate to. 00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:04.560 The level of. 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:05.220 Of. 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.419 Plea and desperation. 00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:07.320 That he was at. 00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:07.960 In the beginning. 00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:08.399 Right. 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:10.000 If you're not really saved from very much. 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.539 You're not really thankful very much. 00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:12.439 Um. 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:14.620 And this kind of leads us into. 00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:16.299 A thought that I picked up from. 00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:17.659 Um. 00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:18.799 John Piper. 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:19.980 You know. 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:20.759 Our worship. 00:10:21.219 --> 00:10:21.539 Can. 00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:23.519 Can be kind of thin and hollow. 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.339 If we really don't do much for God. 00:10:26.819 --> 00:10:27.059 Right. 00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:27.939 If we stay in our. 00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:29.039 In our. 00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:29.860 Comfortable. 00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:31.919 Avoid hard things area. 00:10:32.419 --> 00:10:32.819 Then. 00:10:33.179 --> 00:10:33.500 Really. 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:33.819 Our. 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.759 Our praise. 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:35.379 Our worship. 00:10:35.719 --> 00:10:37.039 Is not going to be that great. 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.439 Because we really don't feel. 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.699 And see that God is really. 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:40.579 That great. 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:41.500 And does that much. 00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:42.339 Um. 00:10:42.439 --> 00:10:43.899 But it's when we step out. 00:10:43.959 --> 00:10:45.480 Or God calls us to do something. 00:10:45.599 --> 00:10:45.740 That. 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:46.539 We really. 00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:47.939 Don't feel comfortable doing. 00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:48.939 Which I think a lot of. 00:10:49.339 --> 00:10:50.939 A lot of things that God calls us to do. 00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:52.459 Are probably things we're not comfortable doing. 00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:53.459 Um. 00:10:53.539 --> 00:10:54.879 It's when we do that. 00:10:54.939 --> 00:10:56.159 That actually has an effect. 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.879 On our. 00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.559 Our praise. 00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:58.480 And our worship to God. 00:10:58.899 --> 00:11:00.319 Because we see how God works. 00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:01.139 We see how. 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:01.799 Uh. 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:02.579 The spirit actually. 00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:03.879 Comes in. 00:11:04.319 --> 00:11:05.419 And lightens our hearts. 00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:06.639 More than what was before. 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.620 Because of what we're doing for God. 00:11:09.939 --> 00:11:10.379 Um. 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.559 And. 00:11:16.219 --> 00:11:16.659 Another. 00:11:17.019 --> 00:11:17.419 Another. 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:17.959 Um. 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.039 Saying that. 00:11:19.899 --> 00:11:20.899 John Piper liked. 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.279 But I just tweaked it a little bit. 00:11:22.319 --> 00:11:23.319 Because it fit the psalm. 00:11:23.819 --> 00:11:24.099 And. 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:24.860 It is. 00:11:25.699 --> 00:11:27.019 We're most satisfied. 00:11:27.659 --> 00:11:28.059 And. 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.000 God is most glorified. 00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:31.939 When we put our hope and trust in him. 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.319 When we put our hope and trust in ourselves. 00:11:34.719 --> 00:11:35.079 Uh. 00:11:35.079 --> 00:11:36.759 Our worship to God is going to be. 00:11:37.259 --> 00:11:38.120 Really meaningless. 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:38.500 And. 00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:38.819 And. 00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:39.600 And not very. 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:41.299 It's not going to. 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:42.360 It's just not going to go far. 00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:43.360 It's not going to hold us. 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:44.120 But. 00:11:44.319 --> 00:11:45.779 When we're satisfied in God. 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.860 Because that's where our hope. 00:11:46.899 --> 00:11:48.000 And that's where our trust is. 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:48.799 Um. 00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:50.240 That's where God gets the glory. 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.100 And that's where we can actually. 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:52.879 Uh. 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:53.840 Wholeheartedly. 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.539 Praise. 00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:55.480 And worship him. 00:11:55.659 --> 00:11:56.460 In a way that. 00:11:56.580 --> 00:11:58.000 That we can't see anywhere else. 00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:59.139 Um. 00:11:59.139 --> 00:11:59.740 Um. 00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:02.439 So this. 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.679 This is a really encouraging psalm to go through. 00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:06.480 Just because. 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:07.639 Um. 00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:09.899 In the area of going through a trial. 00:12:10.139 --> 00:12:11.039 In the area of. 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:12.039 Of prayer. 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:12.659 And worship. 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:13.840 This one is. 00:12:13.939 --> 00:12:14.840 This one is one that's. 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.419 Is just good to go back to. 00:12:16.779 --> 00:12:17.539 Reflect on. 00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:20.000 And just put yourself where David is. 00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:20.319 You know. 00:12:20.439 --> 00:12:21.379 We go through trials. 00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:23.779 And sometimes we don't see an end to it. 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.360 And sometimes they may seem like. 00:12:26.959 --> 00:12:27.360 Um. 00:12:27.819 --> 00:12:28.139 You know. 00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:30.740 Outside of something supernatural. 00:12:31.099 --> 00:12:33.039 I don't know how this is going to be fixed. 00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:34.699 Or I don't know how. 00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:35.319 You know. 00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:37.199 Something is to be saved from this. 00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:37.500 But. 00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:38.919 We see from this that. 00:12:39.199 --> 00:12:41.079 That God is a supernatural God. 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:41.919 And. 00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:42.199 Um. 00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:43.000 And so we. 00:12:43.099 --> 00:12:43.839 We pray to him. 00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:44.559 We plead to him. 00:12:44.819 --> 00:12:45.839 We cry out to him. 00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:46.199 And. 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.120 And all the while. 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:47.759 We praise him. 00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:48.980 We praise him while we're going through it. 00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:50.039 We praise him when we're done. 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:51.000 So. 00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:52.440 I hope that's encouraging to. 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:53.700 To you guys. 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:54.840 And. 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:55.220 Um.
