00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.860
 My name is Jeremy.

00:00:01.340 --> 00:00:05.820
 If you haven't met me before, I am one of the staff leaders here at Watermark.

00:00:06.500 --> 00:00:12.280
 And even as I was preparing and thinking about this message this morning,

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.419
 I'm just reminded of Isaiah's words.

00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.260
 Gosh, I'm a man of unclean lips.

00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:22.980
 And I don't stand here with any sort of, as Oscar was saying,

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:26.620
 righteousness that I've somehow earned myself.

00:00:26.620 --> 00:00:29.900
 God has been preaching to me.

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:35.420
 His spirit has been convicting me throughout this week and all the time.

00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:43.740
 And so this morning, I really want to begin with the tone that the Lord is speaking to all of us as a church.

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:49.520
 And although I get the, I guess, this place of speaking to you,

00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:53.359
 in every single way, I am also speaking to myself.

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.679
 So as a community, as a church, let's kind of grow together.

00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.679
 So let me just pray for me.

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:04.519
 And please pray for me at this time and pray for us as a church.

00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:09.480
 Heavenly Father, thank you for your word.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:15.180
 Thank you for the psalms that you have so graciously given us to teach us,

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.159
 to encourage us, to challenge us.

00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:23.899
 And I pray for my heart right now and the hearts of every single one of us here, Lord,

00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:25.140
 that we would be receptive,

00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:34.459
 that our eyes and our hearts would not wander to the distractions so many they may be in the world and our lives,

00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.420
 but we would just look you, look at you, look you in the eye,

00:01:39.199 --> 00:01:40.599
 set our hearts on you right now,

00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.500
 and be open to what you want to teach us, Lord.

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:45.219
 And I pray that for myself, Lord.

00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:49.519
 Would you even now continue to speak and challenge me, God?

00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:52.519
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:53.640
 Amen.

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.579
 So the topic we're looking at today is waiting.

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:01.299
 Waiting.

00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:04.019
 And it's something you do every day.

00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.920
 Some of you here already are waiting for lunchtime.

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.939
 And your stomachs are telling you.

00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.879
 So I admonish you right now, ignore those voices,

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.640
 and just for the next 30 minutes or so,

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:20.699
 focus on the bread of life, on Jesus.

00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.379
 But waiting is something we do every day.

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.020
 And some things we wait for, you know, they're a little more trivial.

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:32.139
 You know, we wait for the MTR or bus like all of you did coming this morning.

00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:34.780
 We wait in line at the supermarket.

00:02:34.780 --> 00:02:41.879
 You know, we wait seemingly endlessly for that person to pick up at customer service.

00:02:43.420 --> 00:02:45.039
 Hours and hours, it seems like.

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:50.060
 And we wait for, I guess, getting to rides in Disneyland, right?

00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.680
 And experts estimate, from what I've seen over the last research,

00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:56.479
 over the last week or so,

00:02:56.620 --> 00:03:02.560
 experts estimate that people can spend up to two years in their lifetime

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.379
 just waiting in line for different things.

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.360
 It's pretty crazy, right?

00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:08.199
 Up to two years.

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:17.680
 And in our culture today of Internet and social media and instant gratification,

00:03:17.900 --> 00:03:22.120
 you know, many experts think we're actually becoming more impatient

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.599
 because we're expecting everything to come in the blink of an eye.

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.259
 And you want to go on a date?

00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:31.120
 Tinder.

00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:35.099
 You want to buy something?

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:37.579
 Get same-day delivery online.

00:03:38.519 --> 00:03:40.500
 Don't want to wait for that ride at Disneyland?

00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:41.799
 Fast pass.

00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:45.919
 And I'm not necessarily endorsing any of these things,

00:03:46.019 --> 00:03:50.620
 but I'm just saying that's what you see in society today.

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:57.159
 And a few years ago, one researcher looked at 6.7 million people

00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.539
 and their kind of online viewing habits.

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.200
 And he found that some people started abandoning their videos

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:08.240
 after two seconds of loading because it wasn't fast enough.

00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:14.240
 And then by the 10-second mark, half of these people ditched their video.

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:16.019
 And this was already a few years ago.

00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.759
 Today, I don't even know how fast the Internet speeds are.

00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.259
 But I think that's just a small kind of commentary

00:04:22.259 --> 00:04:26.560
 on this instant gratification culture that we live in.

00:04:27.819 --> 00:04:31.639
 And these things can be trivial, but they remind us

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.779
 that we, collectively, as a developed society,

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.759
 you know, we are very much expecting convenience.

00:04:40.659 --> 00:04:41.319
 It's the norm.

00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.839
 But some things we wait for are far from trivial, right?

00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.419
 And that wait can be agonizing.

00:04:50.099 --> 00:04:53.199
 Students, you are waiting for your exam results.

00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:58.079
 You wait for that acceptance or rejection letter from a school.

00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.060
 You wait in the hospital waiting room.

00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.000
 You wait for results from a medical test, from a checkup.

00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:09.759
 You wait for a company to call back after that interview

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.279
 that you think went great or bombed completely.

00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:18.759
 And we also might face a lot of adversity in waiting.

00:05:19.719 --> 00:05:21.759
 At some point in your lifetime,

00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:26.659
 you will be waiting for some kind of difficulty to pass you by.

00:05:27.419 --> 00:05:29.639
 You wait for relief from sickness.

00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.599
 You wait for that demoralizing work environment to just change.

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:42.220
 You wait for a spouse or a loved one to change from their hurtful ways.

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:45.640
 We wait for things to get better.

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:46.900
 We wait.

00:05:50.140 --> 00:05:52.540
 We're going through a series on Psalms

00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:57.040
 and this idea of God's call for us,

00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.960
 for his people, for all people,

00:05:59.080 --> 00:06:03.740
 to worship him at all times, in all seasons.

00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:07.180
 And the Psalms give us a great insight

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:12.939
 into how we can genuinely pour out our emotions to God,

00:06:13.579 --> 00:06:17.740
 how we can be real and honest before him.

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:19.660
 Over the last three weeks,

00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.420
 you may have heard how the Psalms call us

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:25.840
 to preach to ourselves daily.

00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.019
 And most importantly,

00:06:28.159 --> 00:06:29.259
 the Psalms tell us,

00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.079
 teach us how in every season,

00:06:31.219 --> 00:06:32.079
 in every emotion,

00:06:32.599 --> 00:06:34.500
 we can be worshiping God.

00:06:35.659 --> 00:06:38.500
 So today we turn to Psalm 62,

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:40.939
 a psalm about waiting.

00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:43.419
 And it's not a long psalm,

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:45.199
 so we're just going to kind of look at it

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:46.579
 through a few key themes.

00:06:47.620 --> 00:06:48.559
 Please kind of go,

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.379
 have your bulletin there,

00:06:50.659 --> 00:06:52.139
 taking a look at the scripture.

00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:54.360
 And I'll just highlight

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.500
 some of the relevant verses for us.

00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.000
 And just to give you an outline

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:01.699
 for how you can follow with me,

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:02.959
 I'm just going to go through

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:04.939
 like three major points.

00:07:05.339 --> 00:07:06.519
 Firstly, I'm going to talk about

00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.159
 our goals of waiting.

00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:10.539
 Our goals of waiting.

00:07:10.659 --> 00:07:11.219
 And secondly,

00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.719
 our process of waiting.

00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:15.479
 And thirdly,

00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.560
 our model of waiting.

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.439
 So our goals,

00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:20.139
 our process,

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.360
 and our model.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.220
 So let's frame that first point

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:26.980
 as a question.

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:27.899
 The question is,

00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:31.280
 what are you waiting for in life?

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:32.639
 What are you waiting for?

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:34.560
 Now everyone has things

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:36.040
 that they hope to achieve,

00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:36.560
 and inevitably,

00:07:37.699 --> 00:07:39.899
 we spend time waiting for them.

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:42.560
 I've already listed a few things

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.139
 at the beginning

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:44.240
 of things we wait for,

00:07:44.579 --> 00:07:47.379
 and Psalm 62 is no different.

00:07:47.379 --> 00:07:48.659
 It gives us a snapshot

00:07:48.659 --> 00:07:50.480
 of the goals that people

00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.819
 may have in the process of waiting.

00:07:54.819 --> 00:07:56.259
 And so in 62,

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:57.699
 it seems like the psalmist

00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:59.279
 is facing adversity.

00:08:00.339 --> 00:08:02.159
 He's facing challenge from others.

00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:05.040
 He's waiting for relief.

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.159
 He's waiting for deliverance.

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.399
 Verse 3,

00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.620
 how long will all of you

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:11.639
 attack a man

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.079
 to batter him

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:14.699
 like a leaning wall,

00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:16.360
 a tottering fence?

00:08:17.379 --> 00:08:19.259
 The imagery there

00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:20.620
 is like a structure

00:08:20.620 --> 00:08:22.659
 that's been battered,

00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:24.719
 and it's been rendered unstable,

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:26.459
 a tottering fence,

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:27.579
 if you can imagine,

00:08:27.699 --> 00:08:29.240
 that's what the psalmist feels like.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.199
 Verse 4,

00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.000
 they only plan to thrust him down

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.679
 from his high position.

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.799
 They take pleasure in falsehood.

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.139
 They bless with their mouths,

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.959
 but inwardly they curse.

00:08:45.079 --> 00:08:46.439
 Now, I don't know if any of you

00:08:46.439 --> 00:08:48.000
 have faced the adversity

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.039
 that the author of Psalm 62

00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:52.539
 seems to be experiencing,

00:08:52.719 --> 00:08:54.319
 but I think we've all,

00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.079
 I'm sure we've all experienced

00:08:56.079 --> 00:08:58.099
 some kind of attack

00:08:58.099 --> 00:08:59.819
 or deceit

00:08:59.819 --> 00:09:01.459
 or hypocrisy

00:09:01.459 --> 00:09:03.579
 in some shape or form, right?

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:05.620
 And in these times

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:07.040
 of difficulty,

00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:07.980
 of challenge,

00:09:08.540 --> 00:09:09.440
 we want,

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.320
 we wait for things

00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:12.020
 to get better.

00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:16.180
 And then in verses 9 and 10,

00:09:17.379 --> 00:09:18.100
 they give us

00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:19.580
 this good perspective

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:20.920
 on what people

00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:22.400
 put their hope in.

00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:25.980
 Those of low estate

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:27.320
 are but a breath.

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.259
 Those of high estate

00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:30.180
 are a delusion.

00:09:30.179 --> 00:09:32.099
 in the balances

00:09:32.099 --> 00:09:32.939
 they go up,

00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:34.479
 they are together

00:09:34.479 --> 00:09:35.939
 lighter than a breath.

00:09:37.719 --> 00:09:38.559
 That's basically

00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.000
 addressing this issue

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.719
 of social status.

00:09:42.819 --> 00:09:44.379
 And the psalmist realizes

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.559
 that these things

00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:46.739
 have no weight.

00:09:46.839 --> 00:09:48.479
 Like if they're in a balance,

00:09:49.099 --> 00:09:49.939
 they just go up

00:09:49.939 --> 00:09:50.639
 like a breath.

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:53.839
 No matter if you have

00:09:53.839 --> 00:09:56.039
 a high or low social status,

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.679
 there is no eternal significance

00:09:58.679 --> 00:09:59.500
 in those things.

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:01.440
 verse 10,

00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:03.179
 put no trust

00:10:03.179 --> 00:10:04.559
 in extortion.

00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:07.139
 Set no vain hopes

00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:07.879
 on robbery.

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.899
 If riches increase,

00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:11.340
 set not your heart

00:10:11.340 --> 00:10:11.759
 on them.

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:14.220
 You know,

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:15.019
 many people

00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:15.879
 wait,

00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:16.759
 they wait all

00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:17.679
 their life

00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:18.399
 to get rich.

00:10:19.179 --> 00:10:19.879
 They might even

00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:21.059
 resort to violence,

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:21.899
 to robbery,

00:10:22.100 --> 00:10:22.879
 to extortion.

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:25.399
 But the psalmist

00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:26.940
 sees that wealth

00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.700
 and prosperity,

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:29.680
 they're not worth

00:10:29.680 --> 00:10:31.100
 setting our hearts on.

00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:33.400
 They too,

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.620
 like social status,

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:36.840
 have no eternal significance.

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.639
 so the psalmist paints

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:42.100
 this picture for us.

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:44.100
 He says this,

00:10:44.180 --> 00:10:46.000
 like basically in life

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.460
 when you're facing

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:48.440
 adversity,

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:50.440
 the world tells us

00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:51.399
 that status

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:52.660
 enriches

00:10:52.660 --> 00:10:53.399
 our solutions

00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:54.420
 to your problems.

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:55.639
 you know,

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:56.579
 we work hard

00:10:56.579 --> 00:10:58.319
 and then we wait

00:10:58.319 --> 00:10:59.179
 for that hard work

00:10:59.179 --> 00:10:59.959
 to pay off.

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:01.860
 We're waiting all

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.779
 day

00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:04.259
 for that day

00:11:04.259 --> 00:11:05.099
 where we reach

00:11:05.099 --> 00:11:05.779
 that goal

00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:06.539
 that we think

00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:07.500
 will give us

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:08.199
 success

00:11:08.199 --> 00:11:09.839
 and satisfaction.

00:11:10.839 --> 00:11:11.599
 People spend

00:11:11.599 --> 00:11:12.740
 their entire lives

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:14.079
 waiting for that day

00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:15.259
 that they'll finally

00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:16.159
 be happy

00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:17.439
 and they become

00:11:17.439 --> 00:11:18.599
 so enamored

00:11:18.599 --> 00:11:19.599
 and obsessed

00:11:19.599 --> 00:11:20.579
 with these goals

00:11:20.579 --> 00:11:21.179
 that they're even

00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:22.299
 willing to trample

00:11:22.299 --> 00:11:22.959
 on others,

00:11:23.219 --> 00:11:24.620
 to batter others,

00:11:24.859 --> 00:11:26.240
 to step over others.

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:28.719
 And when you reach

00:11:28.719 --> 00:11:29.339
 that goal,

00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:30.759
 you realize

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.919
 it's not quite

00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:32.539
 as satisfying

00:11:32.539 --> 00:11:33.259
 as I thought.

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:34.579
 And then there's

00:11:34.579 --> 00:11:35.319
 the next goal

00:11:35.319 --> 00:11:37.179
 and the next goal.

00:11:39.079 --> 00:11:39.679
 And the psalmist

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:40.719
 is basically saying

00:11:40.719 --> 00:11:41.120
 to us,

00:11:41.199 --> 00:11:41.799
 those goals

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.819
 are empty

00:11:42.819 --> 00:11:43.699
 and you can just

00:11:43.699 --> 00:11:44.879
 read the news,

00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:45.599
 look at

00:11:45.599 --> 00:11:47.979
 your celebrity magazines,

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.019
 your gossip

00:11:49.019 --> 00:11:50.019
 and OK Magazine,

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:50.500
 whatever,

00:11:50.699 --> 00:11:51.600
 from the broadsheets

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:52.480
 to the tabloids,

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:54.059
 countless examples

00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:54.939
 of people

00:11:54.939 --> 00:11:55.600
 who are rich

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:56.659
 and famous,

00:11:57.340 --> 00:11:58.319
 who crash

00:11:58.319 --> 00:11:59.019
 and burn,

00:12:00.139 --> 00:12:00.879
 who fall into

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.139
 overdose

00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:02.840
 and addiction

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:03.620
 and suicide

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:04.600
 because they have

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:05.919
 reached the top

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.679
 but it was empty.

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:11.159
 There's a pithy quote

00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:12.559
 from Jack Higgins

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.639
 that I really

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.059
 found compelling.

00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:17.039
 Jack Higgins

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.519
 is a British writer.

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.299
 His novels

00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:20.100
 have sold

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:22.500
 over 150 million

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.679
 copies worldwide,

00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:25.319
 translated into

00:12:25.319 --> 00:12:26.500
 55 languages

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:28.059
 and as he was

00:12:28.059 --> 00:12:29.360
 reflecting on his success,

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.340
 someone asked him,

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.399
 what would you have

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:33.279
 liked to know

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.139
 as a boy

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:35.579
 from when you

00:12:35.579 --> 00:12:36.079
 were a boy?

00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:37.579
 And this was his answer

00:12:37.579 --> 00:12:38.379
 that when you get

00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:39.100
 to the top,

00:12:39.939 --> 00:12:41.059
 there's nothing there.

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:44.779
 There's nothing there.

00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:49.459
 But the psalmist

00:12:49.459 --> 00:12:51.439
 in 62

00:12:51.439 --> 00:12:52.779
 paints a very

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:54.220
 different picture

00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:54.919
 of what we should

00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:55.779
 be waiting for.

00:12:57.220 --> 00:12:58.299
 For God

00:12:58.299 --> 00:12:59.240
 alone,

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.919
 my soul

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.939
 waits in silence.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.000
 God himself

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.659
 is what the psalmist

00:13:06.659 --> 00:13:08.500
 is waiting for.

00:13:09.699 --> 00:13:10.759
 Through the psalm,

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.779
 we see that God

00:13:11.779 --> 00:13:12.639
 is described

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.080
 as a rock,

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:15.879
 a fortress,

00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:17.759
 a refuge.

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:20.299
 God is the source

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:21.259
 of salvation

00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:23.080
 and glory.

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.419
 Verses 11 and 12,

00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:28.000
 we see that power,

00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.519
 power and steadfast love

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:32.419
 belong to God.

00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:33.200
 You know,

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:34.039
 the things that we

00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.220
 chase after,

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:36.639
 love and power,

00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:36.720
 are,

00:13:37.259 --> 00:13:38.460
 they actually

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:40.039
 belong to God.

00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:42.659
 So this morning,

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.600
 whether you're

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.279
 Christian

00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:45.399
 or not,

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:47.039
 no matter what

00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:47.639
 your worldview

00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.659
 or your faith,

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:50.740
 Psalm 62

00:13:50.740 --> 00:13:51.659
 is drawing

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:52.559
 this stark

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:53.779
 contrast

00:13:53.779 --> 00:13:55.319
 between waiting

00:13:55.319 --> 00:13:56.279
 for God

00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.319
 and waiting

00:13:57.319 --> 00:13:58.139
 for everything

00:13:58.139 --> 00:13:59.199
 else.

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:01.179
 God is the

00:14:01.179 --> 00:14:01.620
 source

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.799
 of everything

00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:03.139
 good

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:03.819
 while everything

00:14:03.819 --> 00:14:04.299
 else

00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:05.059
 passes

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:06.779
 like a breath,

00:14:06.959 --> 00:14:07.639
 like vapor.

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.699
 So the first

00:14:10.699 --> 00:14:11.579
 thing for us

00:14:11.579 --> 00:14:12.559
 to start

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.279
 thinking about

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.119
 as we dwell

00:14:15.119 --> 00:14:16.059
 on Psalm 62

00:14:16.059 --> 00:14:17.359
 is the question,

00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:18.839
 what are you

00:14:18.839 --> 00:14:19.419
 waiting for

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:19.919
 in life?

00:14:20.699 --> 00:14:21.259
 What are your

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:22.479
 real goals

00:14:22.479 --> 00:14:23.279
 if you're honest

00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.039
 about yourself?

00:14:28.099 --> 00:14:28.899
 The second

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.419
 question,

00:14:29.959 --> 00:14:30.319
 the second

00:14:30.319 --> 00:14:31.099
 point is this,

00:14:31.979 --> 00:14:33.819
 how are you

00:14:33.819 --> 00:14:34.099
 waiting?

00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:35.699
 And this

00:14:35.699 --> 00:14:36.399
 speaks to

00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:37.219
 the process

00:14:37.219 --> 00:14:37.939
 that I was

00:14:37.939 --> 00:14:38.479
 talking about.

00:14:38.579 --> 00:14:39.099
 The second

00:14:39.099 --> 00:14:39.719
 point is the

00:14:39.719 --> 00:14:40.419
 process

00:14:40.419 --> 00:14:41.339
 of our

00:14:41.339 --> 00:14:41.659
 waiting.

00:14:42.839 --> 00:14:43.199
 So you

00:14:43.199 --> 00:14:43.479
 can be

00:14:43.479 --> 00:14:44.079
 waiting for

00:14:44.079 --> 00:14:44.579
 something

00:14:44.579 --> 00:14:44.959
 that's a

00:14:44.959 --> 00:14:45.319
 good thing.

00:14:45.439 --> 00:14:45.519
 You know,

00:14:45.579 --> 00:14:46.039
 maybe you're

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:47.039
 waiting for

00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.259
 that job

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:48.639
 offer.

00:14:49.739 --> 00:14:50.199
 You're

00:14:50.199 --> 00:14:50.559
 waiting to

00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:50.919
 be in

00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:51.719
 love.

00:14:52.579 --> 00:14:53.219
 Or you're

00:14:53.219 --> 00:14:53.619
 waiting for

00:14:53.619 --> 00:14:54.059
 that loved

00:14:54.059 --> 00:14:54.819
 one to

00:14:54.819 --> 00:14:55.939
 come around,

00:14:56.079 --> 00:14:56.339
 to get

00:14:56.339 --> 00:14:56.699
 better,

00:14:56.979 --> 00:14:57.559
 to recover

00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:58.219
 from illness

00:14:58.219 --> 00:14:58.739
 perhaps.

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.159
 Maybe some

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:00.639
 of you are

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.279
 even waiting

00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:02.099
 for Christ

00:15:02.099 --> 00:15:02.839
 to return.

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:03.100
 Now,

00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:04.080
 all those

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:04.600
 things are

00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:05.139
 good things

00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:05.460
 and there's

00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:06.840
 nothing inherently

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:08.360
 bad about

00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:09.019
 those things.

00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:11.220
 But if our

00:15:11.220 --> 00:15:12.840
 focus is solely

00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:14.500
 on those

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.820
 specific things,

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:17.420
 what happens

00:15:17.420 --> 00:15:17.700
 is that we

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:18.340
 get stressed,

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:18.960
 we get

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.500
 impatient,

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.240
 we lose

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:23.240
 sight of the

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:23.680
 process,

00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:24.519
 we lose

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:25.040
 sight of

00:15:25.040 --> 00:15:26.040
 how we're

00:15:26.040 --> 00:15:26.379
 waiting,

00:15:26.560 --> 00:15:26.879
 and our

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.700
 waiting starts

00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:28.139
 to become

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:28.900
 agonizing

00:15:28.900 --> 00:15:30.280
 and frustrating.

00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.860
 the New

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:33.559
 York Times

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.120
 reported that

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:35.899
 some years

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.480
 ago,

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:38.339
 executives at

00:15:38.339 --> 00:15:38.860
 a Houston

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.879
 airport faced

00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:41.000
 a troubling

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:42.379
 customer relations

00:15:42.379 --> 00:15:43.779
 issue.

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.120
 The passengers

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:46.000
 were lodging

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.339
 just countless

00:15:47.339 --> 00:15:48.720
 complaints about

00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:49.439
 the long waits

00:15:49.439 --> 00:15:50.039
 at baggage.

00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:51.360
 Anyone ever

00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.159
 experience that?

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.000
 Everybody,

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:55.399
 right?

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:59.360
 in response,

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:00.319
 the executives

00:16:00.319 --> 00:16:01.559
 increased the

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:01.980
 number of

00:16:01.980 --> 00:16:02.779
 baggage handlers,

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:03.019
 right?

00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:03.360
 Very,

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:04.179
 very sort of

00:16:04.179 --> 00:16:04.740
 prudent thing

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.120
 to do.

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.500
 And the

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:08.459
 plan worked.

00:16:09.019 --> 00:16:09.600
 The average

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.559
 wait time fell

00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:11.299
 to eight

00:16:11.299 --> 00:16:11.919
 minutes.

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:13.939
 And this was

00:16:13.939 --> 00:16:14.559
 well within

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.539
 industry benchmarks.

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:17.000
 If any of you

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:17.659
 guys work within

00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:18.199
 the aviation

00:16:18.199 --> 00:16:19.279
 industry,

00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:19.559
 you'd be like,

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:19.759
 yeah,

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:20.000
 yeah,

00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:20.679
 that's really

00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:20.980
 good.

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:22.060
 But the

00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:22.500
 complaints

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:23.340
 persisted,

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:24.320
 okay?

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:25.860
 And the

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:26.659
 executives were

00:16:26.659 --> 00:16:27.060
 puzzled.

00:16:27.180 --> 00:16:27.320
 Okay,

00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:28.180
 what's going

00:16:28.180 --> 00:16:28.460
 on?

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:29.159
 Why are

00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:29.820
 these complaints

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:30.399
 continuing?

00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:31.120
 So they went

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:31.960
 and took a

00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:32.720
 more careful

00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.960
 on-site analysis

00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:34.639
 and they found

00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:35.139
 that it took

00:16:35.139 --> 00:16:36.060
 passengers one

00:16:36.060 --> 00:16:37.180
 minute to walk

00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:38.440
 from the gate

00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:39.960
 to the baggage

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:40.300
 claim.

00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:41.519
 And then seven

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:42.279
 more minutes

00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:43.800
 to actually get

00:16:43.800 --> 00:16:44.700
 their bags.

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:45.820
 So in other

00:16:45.820 --> 00:16:46.000
 words,

00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:47.480
 roughly 90%

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:48.279
 of their time

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:48.840
 was spent

00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:50.000
 standing around

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.460
 and waiting

00:16:50.460 --> 00:16:50.860
 for their

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.179
 bags.

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:52.700
 So the

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:53.500
 airport decided

00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:53.940
 on a new

00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:54.419
 approach.

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:55.759
 Instead of

00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:56.539
 reducing wait

00:16:56.539 --> 00:16:56.899
 times,

00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:57.340
 it moved

00:16:57.340 --> 00:16:57.820
 the arrival

00:16:57.820 --> 00:16:58.600
 gates away

00:16:58.600 --> 00:16:59.019
 from the

00:16:59.019 --> 00:16:59.659
 main terminal

00:16:59.659 --> 00:17:01.080
 and routed

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.580
 the bags

00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:01.940
 to the

00:17:01.940 --> 00:17:02.460
 outermost

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:03.120
 carousel.

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:04.599
 So the

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.420
 passengers now

00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:06.000
 had to walk

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.000
 six times

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:07.700
 longer to

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.039
 get their

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:08.420
 bags.

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:09.819
 And guess

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:10.240
 what happened?

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.460
 No more

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:12.920
 complaints.

00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:13.519
 It dropped

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.019
 to nearly

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:14.440
 zero.

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.519
 So if you

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:16.920
 studied

00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:17.599
 organizational

00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.140
 behavior at

00:17:19.140 --> 00:17:19.480
 all,

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.559
 there's

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:20.859
 actually a

00:17:20.859 --> 00:17:21.160
 lot of

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:21.599
 examples

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:22.220
 like this.

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:22.579
 You know,

00:17:22.700 --> 00:17:23.920
 the notice

00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:24.420
 in lifts,

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:24.960
 you have

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.579
 lots of

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:25.900
 mirrors

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:26.799
 around you.

00:17:28.740 --> 00:17:29.000
 It's a

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.000
 way for

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:30.259
 you to

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:30.519
 kind of

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:30.779
 look at

00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:31.200
 yourself

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:32.160
 and be

00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:32.839
 kind of

00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:33.599
 occupied

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.400
 or look

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:34.680
 at other

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.279
 people if

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:35.559
 you're

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:36.339
 creepy like

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:36.660
 that.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:38.700
 You know,

00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.200
 all the

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.019
 candy and

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:40.500
 magazines

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:41.119
 you see

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:41.980
 at the

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:42.279
 checkout

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.640
 aisle

00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:42.960
 when you're

00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:43.339
 waiting for

00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:44.000
 supermarkets?

00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:44.859
 That's

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:45.519
 organizational

00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:46.539
 behavior there

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:47.880
 because you

00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:48.359
 get annoyed

00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:48.720
 when you're

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.019
 waiting.

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:50.200
 You're

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:50.799
 looking around

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:51.079
 to the

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:51.619
 people next

00:17:51.619 --> 00:17:51.799
 to you

00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:51.900
 and you're

00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:52.000
 like,

00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:52.200
 wow,

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.500
 that's

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.039
 faster than

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.180
 me.

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:53.359
 That

00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:53.779
 checkout's

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:53.980
 faster.

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:54.400
 But if

00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:54.539
 you're

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.119
 looking at

00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.680
 the juicy

00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:57.180
 celebrity

00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:58.559
 gossip or

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:59.099
 thinking about

00:17:59.099 --> 00:17:59.700
 which candy

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.200
 to buy,

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.059
 it's another

00:18:02.059 --> 00:18:02.859
 way for you

00:18:02.859 --> 00:18:03.500
 to be

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:04.680
 waiting well

00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:06.059
 in the

00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:06.720
 perspective of

00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:07.319
 the supermarket

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:07.819
 owners.

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:08.819
 waiting,

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.079
 it's another

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:09.819
 thing.

00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.200
 It's another

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:11.019
 thing that

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:11.879
 is going to

00:18:11.879 --> 00:18:12.879
 be able to

00:18:12.879 --> 00:18:14.039
 have to

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:14.059
 get to

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:14.319
 the

00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:14.359
 money.

00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:14.379
 But hear me out

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:14.519
 here.

00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:15.500
 I'm not saying

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:17.859
 that what we

00:18:17.859 --> 00:18:18.339
 should do is

00:18:18.339 --> 00:18:19.139
 just distract

00:18:19.139 --> 00:18:20.379
 ourselves with

00:18:20.379 --> 00:18:21.019
 these trivial

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.559
 things.

00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:23.579
 But what these

00:18:23.579 --> 00:18:25.179
 examples tell us

00:18:25.179 --> 00:18:26.279
 and tell you

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:26.700
 from the

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:27.259
 experts,

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:29.019
 from people who

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:29.740
 make a living

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:30.339
 out of

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:32.599
 waiting and

00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:33.679
 processing lines,

00:18:33.919 --> 00:18:35.099
 is that the

00:18:35.099 --> 00:18:36.500
 actual process of

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.799
 waiting is

00:18:37.819 --> 00:18:39.659
 just as

00:18:39.659 --> 00:18:40.200
 important,

00:18:40.379 --> 00:18:41.019
 if not more

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:41.419
 important,

00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:41.839
 than the

00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.939
 actual time

00:18:42.939 --> 00:18:43.379
 you spend

00:18:43.379 --> 00:18:43.659
 waiting.

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:46.119
 So your

00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:47.839
 perspective on

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.740
 your waiting is

00:18:49.740 --> 00:18:50.899
 critical from

00:18:50.899 --> 00:18:52.240
 every perspective

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.359
 of these

00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:53.779
 experts.

00:18:55.419 --> 00:18:56.000
 I was thinking

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:56.579
 about this for

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:56.939
 myself.

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.980
 I'm studying to

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:59.019
 get my seminary

00:18:59.019 --> 00:19:00.500
 degree right now

00:19:00.500 --> 00:19:01.399
 and people often

00:19:01.399 --> 00:19:01.899
 ask me,

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.279
 some of you have

00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:03.639
 done this

00:19:03.639 --> 00:19:04.359
 yourselves,

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:05.240
 they ask me

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:05.559
 when I'll

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:05.960
 finish.

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:07.439
 And because

00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:07.960
 I'm doing a

00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:08.539
 part-time,

00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:09.100
 it's going to

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:09.820
 take a

00:19:09.820 --> 00:19:10.220
 while,

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:11.160
 kind of just

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.320
 chipping away

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:12.759
 at this

00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:13.140
 statue.

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.259
 It's going to

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:14.820
 take quite a

00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:15.320
 few years and

00:19:15.320 --> 00:19:16.180
 if I'm honest,

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:16.799
 sometimes I

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.019
 think,

00:19:17.259 --> 00:19:17.539
 man,

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:18.580
 this is going

00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:18.820
 to take

00:19:18.820 --> 00:19:19.279
 forever.

00:19:20.340 --> 00:19:20.840
 And there's

00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:21.480
 this creeping

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:22.360
 kind of feeling

00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:22.700
 that,

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:23.039
 oh,

00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:24.200
 I just wish

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:24.840
 it was over

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:25.200
 now.

00:19:25.299 --> 00:19:25.700
 I just want

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:26.160
 to get it

00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.519
 over and

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:28.120
 done with.

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:29.240
 But the

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:29.960
 issue is if

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:30.820
 I'm focusing

00:19:30.820 --> 00:19:31.759
 on that

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:33.220
 specific end

00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:34.200
 of getting

00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:34.960
 that degree,

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.460
 I might

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:37.220
 get discouraged.

00:19:38.299 --> 00:19:38.880
 But in

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:39.500
 this process,

00:19:39.620 --> 00:19:40.140
 God's been

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:41.000
 reminding me

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.759
 little by

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.200
 little that

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.340
 every little

00:19:43.340 --> 00:19:43.900
 class I

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.180
 take,

00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.299
 every chapter,

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:46.000
 every book,

00:19:46.100 --> 00:19:46.720
 every paper,

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:48.840
 that in and

00:19:48.840 --> 00:19:50.360
 of itself is

00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:50.860
 part of the

00:19:50.860 --> 00:19:51.480
 process.

00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:52.440
 And there's

00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.519
 inherent value

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:55.000
 in every little

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:56.000
 step on the

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.220
 journey.

00:19:56.340 --> 00:19:57.079
 But if I'm

00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:58.319
 only fixated on

00:19:58.319 --> 00:19:59.819
 the prospect of

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.340
 getting that

00:20:00.340 --> 00:20:00.720
 degree,

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:03.680
 inevitably I'm

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.120
 going to get

00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:04.659
 frustrated.

00:20:05.719 --> 00:20:06.179
 I'll miss

00:20:06.179 --> 00:20:06.859
 out on really

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:08.779
 enjoying and

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:10.139
 growing in

00:20:10.139 --> 00:20:10.599
 the moment.

00:20:12.399 --> 00:20:13.239
 You see,

00:20:13.299 --> 00:20:13.879
 the Christian

00:20:13.879 --> 00:20:15.599
 has a very

00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:17.379
 unique process

00:20:17.379 --> 00:20:18.039
 of waiting.

00:20:19.719 --> 00:20:20.500
 The psalmist

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:21.139
 declares,

00:20:21.419 --> 00:20:22.239
 for God

00:20:22.239 --> 00:20:23.339
 alone,

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:25.299
 my soul

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:27.239
 waits in

00:20:27.239 --> 00:20:28.159
 silence.

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:30.919
 The psalmist

00:20:30.919 --> 00:20:31.579
 not only

00:20:31.579 --> 00:20:32.859
 recognizes that

00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:33.839
 God is the

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:34.459
 only one

00:20:34.459 --> 00:20:35.139
 waiting for.

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:36.599
 He also

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:37.480
 recognizes that

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:38.039
 we should

00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:38.639
 wait for

00:20:38.639 --> 00:20:39.740
 God in

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.799
 silence.

00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:42.139
 Now, I

00:20:42.139 --> 00:20:42.519
 don't know if

00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:42.819
 you really

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:44.019
 picked up on

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:44.439
 that, but

00:20:44.439 --> 00:20:45.359
 when I first

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:45.919
 read it, I

00:20:45.919 --> 00:20:46.220
 was like,

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:47.299
 what does

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:47.839
 that mean?

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:48.599
 Why is it

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:49.439
 in silence?

00:20:51.059 --> 00:20:51.459
 And the

00:20:51.459 --> 00:20:51.959
 Hebrew word

00:20:51.959 --> 00:20:52.579
 for silence

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:53.339
 carries this

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:53.939
 idea of

00:20:53.939 --> 00:20:54.759
 stillness,

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:56.079
 of rest.

00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:58.279
 It carries

00:20:58.279 --> 00:20:59.039
 this idea of

00:20:59.039 --> 00:20:59.779
 a quiet

00:20:59.779 --> 00:21:00.919
 confidence.

00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:01.140
 confidence.

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:04.240
 So when we

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:04.800
 wait for

00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:05.720
 God, we're

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.460
 not doing it

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:06.960
 with some

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:07.320
 kind of

00:21:07.320 --> 00:21:08.160
 wishful,

00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:09.140
 hopeful

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:09.720
 thinking.

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.820
 We wait

00:21:11.820 --> 00:21:12.720
 with confidence

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.620
 because, like

00:21:13.620 --> 00:21:14.259
 the psalmist

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:15.500
 says, power

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:16.960
 and steadfast

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.460
 love belong

00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:19.000
 to God.

00:21:20.340 --> 00:21:21.220
 The God we

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:22.660
 wait for is

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:23.480
 powerful and

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:24.120
 faithful, and

00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:25.360
 when we wait

00:21:25.360 --> 00:21:26.160
 for God, we're

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:26.800
 waiting with

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.319
 trust in

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:28.879
 his character.

00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:31.119
 Now, you

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:31.440
 might be

00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:31.819
 thinking to

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:32.339
 yourself, well,

00:21:33.379 --> 00:21:34.339
 Jeremy, it's

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:35.240
 easy to wait

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.619
 when you're

00:21:35.619 --> 00:21:36.519
 doing something,

00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:37.359
 you know, like

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:38.480
 building towards

00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:38.940
 a degree.

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.440
 You're taking

00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:40.019
 these classes.

00:21:40.159 --> 00:21:40.419
 It's very

00:21:40.419 --> 00:21:40.859
 active.

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.639
 You're doing.

00:21:41.879 --> 00:21:42.700
 It's hands-on.

00:21:42.779 --> 00:21:43.339
 You're thinking.

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.579
 You're looking

00:21:46.579 --> 00:21:48.000
 at yourself in

00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:48.419
 the mirror.

00:21:48.639 --> 00:21:48.980
 It's very

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.379
 active.

00:21:50.220 --> 00:21:50.799
 You love

00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:51.279
 looking at

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:51.720
 yourself.

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:52.879
 These are

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:53.680
 very active

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.200
 things that

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:54.859
 engage us, but

00:21:54.859 --> 00:21:55.619
 what about the

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:56.419
 hard things in

00:21:56.419 --> 00:21:56.720
 life?

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.139
 The things

00:21:58.139 --> 00:21:58.539
 that don't

00:21:58.539 --> 00:21:59.000
 seem like

00:21:59.000 --> 00:21:59.399
 there's anything

00:21:59.399 --> 00:22:00.139
 active I can

00:22:00.139 --> 00:22:00.639
 be doing?

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:01.960
 What about

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:02.440
 things that

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:02.859
 I have no

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:04.519
 control over?

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:05.759
 What about

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:06.319
 those really

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.139
 big things

00:22:07.139 --> 00:22:07.879
 that keep me

00:22:07.879 --> 00:22:08.740
 anxious at

00:22:08.740 --> 00:22:09.000
 night?

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:11.200
 It's not

00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:11.740
 something like

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:13.200
 waiting in a

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.879
 checkout line.

00:22:14.379 --> 00:22:14.839
 That's so

00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:15.259
 trivial.

00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:16.659
 What about

00:22:16.659 --> 00:22:18.019
 relief from

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:18.720
 the suffering

00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:19.919
 and anxiety

00:22:19.919 --> 00:22:20.399
 that we

00:22:20.399 --> 00:22:21.079
 experience?

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:23.680
 I'm not here

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:24.700
 today to just

00:22:24.700 --> 00:22:25.200
 give you some

00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:26.019
 kind of formula.

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:28.160
 about waiting

00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:29.220
 through hard

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:30.119
 times.

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:30.759
 But Psalm

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:32.019
 62, it gives

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:32.779
 us some really

00:22:32.779 --> 00:22:33.900
 good indicators

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:34.759
 about how we

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.079
 should be

00:22:35.079 --> 00:22:35.319
 waiting.

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:38.059
 You know,

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:39.000
 when we face

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.279
 adversity, it

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:41.359
 can seem a lot

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.139
 of times that

00:22:42.139 --> 00:22:42.539
 we're just

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:43.539
 waiting around.

00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.440
 There's nothing

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:46.400
 we can do

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:47.519
 about it.

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:47.900
 We're just

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.339
 waiting

00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:49.519
 passively.

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.859
 But the

00:22:51.859 --> 00:22:52.960
 psalmist shows

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.740
 here that he

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.559
 is waiting in

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.960
 a very active

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.859
 sense.

00:22:58.279 --> 00:22:58.940
 If you

00:22:58.940 --> 00:22:59.859
 recall in

00:22:59.859 --> 00:23:01.039
 previous messages

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:02.079
 in this series,

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:02.680
 we've talked

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.299
 about how

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:04.920
 psalms are a

00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:05.319
 lot about

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.559
 preaching to

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:07.139
 yourself.

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:09.740
 See that very

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.920
 clearly here.

00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:11.559
 So verse

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:12.559
 one, for God

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:13.740
 alone my soul

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.039
 waits in

00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:15.660
 silence.

00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:17.900
 And then

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:18.620
 it's repeated

00:23:18.620 --> 00:23:19.500
 in verse

00:23:19.500 --> 00:23:20.000
 five.

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:21.140
 But notice

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:21.560
 it's a little

00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:21.900
 different.

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:22.300
 It says,

00:23:22.620 --> 00:23:23.080
 for God

00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:23.700
 alone,

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:24.880
 oh my

00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:25.519
 soul,

00:23:26.380 --> 00:23:27.180
 wait in

00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:27.759
 silence,

00:23:28.460 --> 00:23:29.160
 for my

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:30.300
 hope is

00:23:30.300 --> 00:23:30.940
 from him,

00:23:31.080 --> 00:23:31.440
 from the

00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:31.720
 Lord.

00:23:32.860 --> 00:23:33.279
 You see

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.620
 how it

00:23:33.620 --> 00:23:34.000
 switches?

00:23:35.060 --> 00:23:35.600
 And you're

00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:36.279
 directly

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:37.019
 addressing

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:38.220
 your own

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:38.640
 soul.

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:38.880
 You're

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:39.400
 telling your

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.720
 soul,

00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:40.300
 soul,

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:40.860
 heart,

00:23:41.460 --> 00:23:42.019
 mind,

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:43.279
 wait in

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.960
 silence,

00:23:44.080 --> 00:23:44.800
 in confidence,

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.919
 for the

00:23:45.919 --> 00:23:46.200
 Lord.

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.819
 So when

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:48.000
 you're

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.839
 waiting for

00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:49.119
 God,

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:49.460
 you're

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.059
 actively

00:23:50.059 --> 00:23:50.700
 preaching

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:51.500
 to

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:51.899
 yourself.

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.419
 And that's

00:23:52.419 --> 00:23:53.019
 very,

00:23:53.159 --> 00:23:54.200
 very important

00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:54.539
 when we're

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:54.859
 going through

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:55.440
 the psalms.

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.119
 You're

00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:56.680
 reminding

00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:57.839
 yourself.

00:23:58.720 --> 00:23:59.379
 When you're

00:23:59.379 --> 00:23:59.559
 doing

00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:00.059
 communion,

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:00.500
 you're not

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:01.399
 just putting

00:24:01.399 --> 00:24:02.119
 a cracker

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:02.639
 and juice

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:03.180
 into your

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:03.500
 mouth.

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:03.919
 You are

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:04.559
 reminding

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.220
 yourself

00:24:05.220 --> 00:24:06.220
 and preaching

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:07.299
 to yourself

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:08.279
 of what

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.659
 God has

00:24:08.659 --> 00:24:08.919
 done.

00:24:10.919 --> 00:24:11.480
 Notice

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:11.879
 all these

00:24:11.879 --> 00:24:13.259
 action words

00:24:13.259 --> 00:24:13.819
 in the

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.180
 psalm.

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:15.200
 Verse

00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:15.519
 8,

00:24:16.099 --> 00:24:16.659
 trust,

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:18.079
 trust in

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:18.639
 him at

00:24:18.639 --> 00:24:19.339
 all times.

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.559
 Pour

00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:21.220
 out your

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.879
 heart to

00:24:21.879 --> 00:24:22.159
 him.

00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:23.779
 You know,

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:23.960
 there's

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.180
 nothing

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:24.799
 passive

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:26.079
 about this

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:26.460
 kind of

00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:26.720
 waiting.

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:28.899
 God is

00:24:28.899 --> 00:24:29.559
 telling you

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.059
 to be

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.579
 brutally

00:24:30.579 --> 00:24:32.059
 honest with

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.579
 him because

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:33.059
 you don't

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:34.000
 need to

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.539
 sugarcoat

00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:34.759
 your

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.220
 feelings.

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:37.039
 You don't

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:37.279
 need to

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:37.839
 sugarcoat

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.059
 your

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:38.799
 frustrations

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.220
 with some

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:39.579
 kind of

00:24:39.579 --> 00:24:40.319
 Christian

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.440
 bubble wrap

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:42.279
 because God

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.379
 already knows

00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:44.580
 everything

00:24:44.580 --> 00:24:45.700
 good and

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.940
 bad that's

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:48.040
 swirling around

00:24:48.040 --> 00:24:48.560
 in the depths

00:24:48.560 --> 00:24:48.820
 of your

00:24:48.820 --> 00:24:49.100
 heart.

00:24:50.780 --> 00:24:51.180
 For

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:51.700
 Christians,

00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:52.600
 the process

00:24:52.600 --> 00:24:53.200
 of waiting

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:53.640
 can be

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.600
 an active

00:24:54.600 --> 00:24:55.260
 opportunity

00:24:55.260 --> 00:24:55.920
 to rely

00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:56.480
 on God

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:57.380
 and ask

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:57.560
 him,

00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:57.860
 God,

00:24:57.980 --> 00:24:58.220
 God,

00:24:58.280 --> 00:24:58.760
 what are you

00:24:58.760 --> 00:24:59.660
 teaching me

00:24:59.660 --> 00:25:00.860
 through this?

00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:01.420
 What can I

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:03.000
 learn from

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:03.680
 you?

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:06.779
 how can I

00:25:06.779 --> 00:25:07.500
 grow through

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:08.299
 this season

00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:09.620
 of waiting?

00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.279
 So next

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:12.720
 time you're

00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:13.360
 waiting in

00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:13.980
 that lift

00:25:13.980 --> 00:25:15.779
 for seemingly

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.400
 endless,

00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:18.420
 endless time

00:25:18.420 --> 00:25:18.740
 and you're

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:19.140
 looking in

00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:19.580
 that mirror,

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.200
 instead of

00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:21.440
 being fixated

00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:22.140
 on yourself,

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.700
 just think

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:23.720
 about how

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.240
 you're made

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:24.779
 in the image

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.299
 of God.

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:26.779
 Think about

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:27.220
 the God

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:27.920
 who fashioned

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.299
 you,

00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:29.420
 who created

00:25:29.420 --> 00:25:29.820
 you,

00:25:30.360 --> 00:25:30.920
 who loves

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.259
 you.

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:33.779
 that you're

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.480
 precious to

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:34.720
 him.

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:37.579
 I also

00:25:37.579 --> 00:25:38.039
 want you to

00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:38.700
 notice that

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:39.579
 in this

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:40.079
 section,

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.579
 not only

00:25:41.579 --> 00:25:42.619
 is the

00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:43.019
 psalmist

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.960
 preaching to

00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:44.539
 himself,

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:46.119
 he's calling

00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.119
 out to the

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:47.839
 people around

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.200
 him,

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:49.859
 guys,

00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:50.839
 listen,

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:51.400
 people,

00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:53.319
 trust in

00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:53.740
 God.

00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:55.799
 And I

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:56.420
 can't stress

00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:57.420
 this enough

00:25:57.420 --> 00:25:57.920
 because it's

00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:59.259
 not just

00:25:59.259 --> 00:25:59.859
 that you're

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.500
 preaching to

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.039
 yourself.

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:02.640
 The reason

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.299
 why God

00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:03.839
 gave us

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:04.460
 a church,

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.319
 a community,

00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:06.720
 is for the

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.740
 very precise

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:08.359
 reason that

00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:08.700
 we were

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:09.720
 never designed

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:10.339
 to live

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:10.960
 and grow

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.420
 as individuals

00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:13.519
 isolated.

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:14.940
 That's why

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.319
 we're called

00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:15.940
 Watermark

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.720
 Community

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.240
 Church.

00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:17.940
 That's why

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:19.619
 you go to

00:26:19.619 --> 00:26:20.160
 your community

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:20.720
 groups and

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.339
 you meet

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:22.339
 and you check

00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:22.940
 up on each

00:26:22.940 --> 00:26:23.640
 other and

00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:24.220
 you remind

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.680
 each other

00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:25.240
 because the

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.839
 psalmist is

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:26.559
 telling you

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.519
 that it's not

00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.039
 enough to

00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:28.539
 just preach

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:29.160
 to yourself

00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:29.779
 because we

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:30.720
 are forgetful.

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:31.680
 people.

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:33.700
 And as we

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:34.380
 see God

00:26:34.380 --> 00:26:34.880
 working in

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.339
 each other's

00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:35.559
 lives,

00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:36.000
 as we

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.100
 hear of

00:26:37.100 --> 00:26:37.420
 God's

00:26:37.420 --> 00:26:38.019
 faithfulness,

00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:38.819
 as you

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.440
 tell each

00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:39.880
 other in

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:40.440
 your community

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.140
 groups how

00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:41.740
 good God

00:26:41.740 --> 00:26:42.360
 is that you

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:42.920
 should trust

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:43.319
 in him,

00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:45.299
 I can't tell

00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:45.880
 you how many

00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.600
 times I've

00:26:46.600 --> 00:26:46.940
 just been

00:26:46.940 --> 00:26:47.980
 reminded and

00:26:47.980 --> 00:26:49.360
 encouraged and

00:26:49.360 --> 00:26:50.559
 challenged by

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.200
 the people I

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:51.720
 see in my

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:52.559
 life, by my

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.259
 community group

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.860
 hearing about

00:26:53.860 --> 00:26:55.000
 God at

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.400
 work.

00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:55.460
 work.

00:26:56.340 --> 00:26:57.120
 So this

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:58.120
 process of

00:26:58.120 --> 00:26:58.620
 waiting is

00:26:58.620 --> 00:26:59.380
 meant to be

00:26:59.380 --> 00:27:00.120
 done in

00:27:00.120 --> 00:27:01.880
 community, not

00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:03.280
 in isolation.

00:27:07.280 --> 00:27:08.220
 So we have

00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:08.900
 to think about

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:09.900
 our goal in

00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:10.160
 waiting.

00:27:10.320 --> 00:27:10.759
 We have to

00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.420
 think about

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:12.660
 what we're

00:27:12.660 --> 00:27:13.540
 waiting for in

00:27:13.540 --> 00:27:13.720
 life.

00:27:13.820 --> 00:27:14.220
 We also

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.900
 think about

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:16.660
 how we

00:27:16.660 --> 00:27:17.000
 wait.

00:27:17.600 --> 00:27:18.060
 We think

00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:18.440
 about the

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.759
 process of

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.060
 waiting.

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:20.179
 waiting.

00:27:21.379 --> 00:27:21.980
 But I

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:22.299
 don't want

00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:22.899
 us to hear

00:27:22.899 --> 00:27:23.500
 these things

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:23.859
 and just

00:27:23.859 --> 00:27:24.440
 think, okay,

00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:25.319
 I just need

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:25.720
 to do a

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:26.259
 better job

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:27.139
 focusing on

00:27:27.139 --> 00:27:29.139
 God, and

00:27:29.139 --> 00:27:29.599
 I just need

00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:30.839
 to do a

00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:31.440
 better job

00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:31.779
 waiting.

00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:32.440
 I just need

00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:32.639
 to have

00:27:32.639 --> 00:27:33.200
 better waiting

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.759
 techniques.

00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:35.579
 I don't want

00:27:35.579 --> 00:27:36.000
 you guys to

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:36.539
 think of that

00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:38.000
 because ultimately

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.279
 the beauty of

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:40.819
 the gospel is

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:41.659
 that God has

00:27:41.659 --> 00:27:42.679
 also given

00:27:42.679 --> 00:27:43.960
 us a model

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:44.960
 for waiting,

00:27:45.679 --> 00:27:46.839
 a model of

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.379
 waiting that

00:27:47.379 --> 00:27:48.539
 provides us

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:49.299
 with everything

00:27:49.299 --> 00:27:49.960
 we need to

00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:50.399
 wait throughout

00:27:50.399 --> 00:27:51.039
 our lives.

00:27:51.859 --> 00:27:52.480
 So that's

00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:52.799
 our third

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:53.519
 point, a

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:55.399
 model of

00:27:55.399 --> 00:27:55.720
 waiting.

00:27:57.619 --> 00:27:58.019
 You see,

00:27:58.819 --> 00:27:59.079
 you know,

00:27:59.139 --> 00:27:59.480
 when you're

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.960
 waiting, you're

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:01.980
 always modeling

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:03.500
 your hope after

00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:04.700
 someone or

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:05.119
 something.

00:28:06.399 --> 00:28:07.259
 Maybe you

00:28:07.259 --> 00:28:08.339
 see someone in

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:09.180
 your life or

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.839
 you read about

00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:11.700
 somebody, you

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:12.559
 see someone who

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.059
 has something

00:28:13.059 --> 00:28:15.099
 you want, and

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:15.720
 you see how

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.319
 they've waited

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:17.159
 for it, and

00:28:17.159 --> 00:28:18.299
 they finally get

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:18.480
 it.

00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:20.500
 Maybe it's

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.220
 that story

00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:22.139
 that a lot

00:28:22.139 --> 00:28:22.599
 of us have

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:22.940
 read, you

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:23.119
 know, that

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:23.599
 story of

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.059
 that hot

00:28:24.059 --> 00:28:24.899
 single person

00:28:24.899 --> 00:28:25.440
 was waiting

00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:25.980
 for that

00:28:25.980 --> 00:28:27.000
 special someone.

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.839
 But first

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.639
 he learned to

00:28:29.639 --> 00:28:30.759
 find contentment

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:31.419
 and singleness,

00:28:32.159 --> 00:28:32.879
 and then God

00:28:32.879 --> 00:28:34.119
 provided, and

00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:34.700
 he got married.

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.799
 You know, those

00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:38.240
 are great

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.940
 testimonies, and

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:40.599
 I'm not knocking

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:41.139
 that at all.

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:41.899
 I've seen that

00:28:41.899 --> 00:28:43.019
 happen, and

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.639
 it's amazing.

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:46.160
 God doesn't

00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:47.600
 promise that we'll

00:28:47.600 --> 00:28:48.940
 get exactly what

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:50.140
 we want just

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:51.320
 because we wait

00:28:51.320 --> 00:28:52.200
 long enough or

00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:54.160
 pray long enough.

00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:57.340
 The story, the

00:28:57.340 --> 00:28:58.280
 testimony could

00:28:58.280 --> 00:29:00.380
 just go, just as

00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:01.340
 well go like this.

00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:02.180
 The single person

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:03.259
 learned contentment.

00:29:04.320 --> 00:29:06.100
 He continued to

00:29:06.100 --> 00:29:07.759
 grow in contentment

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:09.040
 for the rest of

00:29:09.040 --> 00:29:09.480
 his life.

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:12.460
 He trusted that

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:13.700
 God knows what's

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:15.700
 best for him, and

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:16.880
 that testimony would

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:17.579
 be just as

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:19.579
 wonderful just as

00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:20.500
 God glorifying.

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.180
 So my point is,

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:24.960
 when we're

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:25.759
 modeling our

00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.960
 waiting, we have

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:28.640
 to remember that

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.599
 waiting is not a

00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:31.380
 way to manipulate

00:29:31.380 --> 00:29:31.860
 God.

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.620
 It's not a way to

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:35.759
 earn what we

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:36.099
 want.

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:38.019
 It's not a way to

00:29:38.019 --> 00:29:39.099
 earn what we think

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.460
 we want.

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:39.880
 we deserve.

00:29:40.059 --> 00:29:40.839
 That's not what the

00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:41.860
 psalmist means when

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.819
 he says that God

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:44.779
 will render to a

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:46.240
 man according to

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.759
 his work.

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:50.680
 Psalm 62 and

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:51.880
 the whole Bible,

00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:53.400
 it's about

00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:53.980
 salvation.

00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:56.799
 It's the reality

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:58.140
 that we as human

00:29:58.140 --> 00:29:59.880
 beings need to be

00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:00.259
 saved.

00:30:01.579 --> 00:30:02.799
 We need to be

00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:03.839
 saved because we

00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:05.539
 have rejected the

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:06.539
 only thing that

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.000
 matters.

00:30:08.059 --> 00:30:08.680
 God.

00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:08.779
 God.

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:11.840
 We've turned away

00:30:11.840 --> 00:30:13.480
 from having eternal

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.980
 life in a loving

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:16.120
 relationship with

00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:18.000
 him, the one who

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.799
 created us.

00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:21.060
 So when I read

00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:22.920
 Psalm 62, that God

00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:24.340
 is my salvation, I'm

00:30:24.340 --> 00:30:25.920
 declaring that my

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:27.420
 salvation rests on

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:27.720
 God.

00:30:27.820 --> 00:30:28.680
 That's what the

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.560
 psalmist is saying.

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:31.380
 It rests on God, not

00:30:31.380 --> 00:30:32.299
 anything that I've

00:30:32.299 --> 00:30:33.980
 done, not any

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:35.320
 technique that I've

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:36.579
 applied in my

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:36.939
 waiting.

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.819
 Everything is

00:30:39.819 --> 00:30:40.839
 resting on God and

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.240
 because of that,

00:30:42.339 --> 00:30:43.599
 because I'm relying on

00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:45.159
 God, God will give me

00:30:45.159 --> 00:30:46.980
 according to the work

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:48.720
 of relying on him.

00:30:51.059 --> 00:30:53.240
 Psalm 62 shows us

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:54.359
 that there is a real

00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:55.379
 model of waiting.

00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:57.639
 It's no one that you've

00:30:57.639 --> 00:30:58.659
 seen in your life.

00:30:59.099 --> 00:31:00.179
 It's nothing that you've

00:31:00.179 --> 00:31:01.240
 seen in the world.

00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:03.819
 The model for waiting

00:31:03.819 --> 00:31:05.680
 is God's faithfulness.

00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.339
 It's his character.

00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:09.740
 It's what he did

00:31:09.740 --> 00:31:10.819
 throughout the entire

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:13.079
 Old Testament, from

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:14.579
 Genesis to Revelation.

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:18.319
 Saving people, Exodus,

00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.720
 bringing the people out

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:20.359
 of captivity.

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:22.519
 And as a Christian

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.019
 today, looking at the

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.880
 psalm, we have an even

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:27.200
 clearer model.

00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:28.799
 And that model is

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.519
 Jesus Christ.

00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.640
 In Jesus Christ, God

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:35.180
 became a human being.

00:31:36.380 --> 00:31:37.640
 He experienced

00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.080
 everything we

00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:41.140
 experience today.

00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:43.700
 He waited in every

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:44.900
 way that you wait

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:45.299
 today.

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:47.640
 But instead of

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:49.340
 sinning, instead of

00:31:49.340 --> 00:31:50.180
 falling short,

00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:51.840
 instead of becoming

00:31:51.840 --> 00:31:54.340
 unrighteous, Jesus

00:31:54.340 --> 00:31:56.700
 lived a perfect life.

00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:58.559
 He should never

00:31:58.559 --> 00:31:59.299
 have died.

00:32:00.120 --> 00:32:01.640
 But he chose to

00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:02.840
 die in our place.

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:04.160
 And he was

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:05.680
 resurrected with

00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:06.279
 the new

00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.420
 heavenly body.

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:10.340
 So guys,

00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:11.360
 today, if

00:32:11.360 --> 00:32:12.279
 your faith

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.840
 is in

00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:15.120
 what Jesus Christ

00:32:15.120 --> 00:32:15.880
 did for you,

00:32:16.620 --> 00:32:17.360
 you're in

00:32:17.360 --> 00:32:18.360
 relationship with

00:32:18.360 --> 00:32:18.700
 God.

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:20.360
 You're waiting for

00:32:20.360 --> 00:32:21.360
 eternal life.

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:22.580
 And in that

00:32:22.580 --> 00:32:23.620
 eternal life, God

00:32:23.620 --> 00:32:24.460
 will render to

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:24.920
 you

00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:26.940
 according to

00:32:26.940 --> 00:32:27.360
 your work

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:27.680
 today.

00:32:31.060 --> 00:32:31.940
 When we

00:32:31.940 --> 00:32:33.320
 model our

00:32:33.320 --> 00:32:34.140
 waiting after

00:32:34.140 --> 00:32:35.120
 Christ, we

00:32:35.120 --> 00:32:36.440
 have this amazing

00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:37.580
 assurance that is

00:32:37.580 --> 00:32:38.620
 just incomparable.

00:32:39.779 --> 00:32:40.920
 No matter what

00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:41.980
 you're waiting for

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.820
 right now, no

00:32:42.820 --> 00:32:44.640
 matter how long

00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:45.840
 you've waited for

00:32:45.840 --> 00:32:47.759
 it, you can be

00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:49.160
 absolutely certain

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:50.300
 that God is your

00:32:50.300 --> 00:32:51.000
 heavenly Father,

00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:52.500
 that He loves you.

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:54.859
 unconditionally, He

00:32:54.859 --> 00:32:56.099
 knows what's best

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:56.599
 for you.

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:58.839
 He's promised you

00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:00.099
 eternal life when

00:33:00.099 --> 00:33:00.839
 everything will be

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:01.319
 made right.

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.920
 There's a lot of

00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:06.299
 good things to be

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:07.339
 waiting for in life,

00:33:07.380 --> 00:33:08.279
 and I'm not telling

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:09.859
 you now to just

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.700
 kind of give up

00:33:10.700 --> 00:33:12.519
 waiting for them.

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.119
 but Jesus gives

00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:16.299
 us this ultimate

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:17.579
 model for waiting

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:18.519
 in His life,

00:33:18.639 --> 00:33:19.019
 death, and

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:20.599
 resurrection, that

00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:21.440
 we are actually

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:22.619
 waiting for

00:33:22.619 --> 00:33:23.900
 eternal life,

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:25.759
 heavenly bodies

00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:26.480
 in a new

00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.740
 creation with

00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:29.420
 no sickness,

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:30.879
 sorrow, or

00:33:30.879 --> 00:33:31.259
 pain.

00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:33.440
 All of your

00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:34.720
 waiting today,

00:33:35.500 --> 00:33:36.680
 small or big,

00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:38.599
 it all ties back

00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:39.799
 into this grand

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:41.139
 story of waiting

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:42.360
 waiting for

00:33:42.360 --> 00:33:43.000
 the ultimate

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.560
 redemption,

00:33:43.800 --> 00:33:44.120
 ultimate

00:33:44.120 --> 00:33:45.060
 restoration.

00:33:46.100 --> 00:33:47.220
 And we have to

00:33:47.220 --> 00:33:48.120
 see this big

00:33:48.120 --> 00:33:48.800
 picture to

00:33:48.800 --> 00:33:49.640
 understand how

00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:51.240
 every step of

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.420
 waiting is part

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:52.980
 of a greater

00:33:52.980 --> 00:33:53.800
 waiting that

00:33:53.800 --> 00:33:54.640
 Jesus points us

00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:54.860
 to.

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:57.000
 But the amazing

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.880
 thing is unlike

00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:59.280
 anything else you

00:33:59.280 --> 00:34:00.340
 wait for in life,

00:34:01.860 --> 00:34:02.800
 anything in this

00:34:02.800 --> 00:34:03.460
 world that you

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:04.040
 might wait for,

00:34:04.100 --> 00:34:04.759
 the amazing thing

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:05.620
 is you don't ever

00:34:05.620 --> 00:34:07.340
 have to wonder if

00:34:07.340 --> 00:34:08.180
 this kind of

00:34:08.180 --> 00:34:09.200
 waiting, a

00:34:09.200 --> 00:34:09.680
 waiting that's

00:34:09.680 --> 00:34:10.340
 modeled after

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:10.980
 Jesus, you

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.420
 don't have to

00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:12.079
 worry that it

00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:12.740
 won't pay off

00:34:12.740 --> 00:34:13.159
 or it won't

00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:14.199
 result in

00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:14.619
 anything.

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:16.019
 You know for

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:17.280
 sure that God

00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:18.880
 will give

00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:19.740
 eternal life

00:34:19.740 --> 00:34:20.460
 because he

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:21.360
 showed us

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:22.579
 factually,

00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:23.880
 historically,

00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:25.900
 in Jesus

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:27.019
 dying on the

00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.300
 cross.

00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:27.699
 This isn't

00:34:27.699 --> 00:34:28.260
 something that

00:34:28.260 --> 00:34:29.219
 we just conjured

00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:30.579
 up to create a

00:34:30.579 --> 00:34:31.219
 hopeful thing.

00:34:31.300 --> 00:34:32.300
 This is historical.

00:34:32.940 --> 00:34:34.119
 This is truth

00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:35.760
 that Jesus died

00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:36.420
 and resurrected.

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:39.360
 He is our

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:40.280
 model for

00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:40.660
 waiting.

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:43.400
 Jesus is our

00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:43.860
 rock.

00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:46.260
 Jesus is our

00:34:46.260 --> 00:34:48.099
 salvation, our

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:49.760
 refuge, our

00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:50.180
 glory.

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:53.360
 So if you're

00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:54.260
 following Christ

00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:54.880
 today, when you

00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:55.800
 think about your

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:57.720
 goals of waiting,

00:34:57.820 --> 00:34:59.260
 when you contemplate

00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:00.340
 the process and

00:35:00.340 --> 00:35:01.360
 how you are

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:02.620
 waiting, you can

00:35:02.620 --> 00:35:03.599
 be sure that you're

00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:04.579
 not just waiting for

00:35:04.579 --> 00:35:05.240
 God in some

00:35:05.240 --> 00:35:06.740
 abstract sense.

00:35:06.739 --> 00:35:07.799
 happiness, it's

00:35:07.799 --> 00:35:08.719
 not the power of

00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:10.039
 positive thinking.

00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:11.419
 You're not putting

00:35:11.419 --> 00:35:12.199
 your hope in some

00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.799
 general made-up idea

00:35:14.799 --> 00:35:15.500
 of God's goodness.

00:35:15.699 --> 00:35:16.839
 You are putting

00:35:16.839 --> 00:35:19.259
 your hope on

00:35:19.259 --> 00:35:19.679
 Jesus.

00:35:20.899 --> 00:35:22.119
 It's based on the

00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:22.599
 truth of the

00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:22.979
 gospel.

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:26.599
 If you're not a

00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:27.619
 Christian today, the

00:35:27.619 --> 00:35:28.719
 question that Psalm

00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:30.439
 62 continues to

00:35:30.439 --> 00:35:32.839
 pose to you is

00:35:32.839 --> 00:35:34.799
 this, what are you

00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:36.420
 waiting for in

00:35:36.420 --> 00:35:36.740
 life?

00:35:38.660 --> 00:35:40.039
 Is it something of

00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:40.860
 this world that

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:42.140
 will pass like

00:35:42.140 --> 00:35:44.340
 vapor, that will

00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:45.760
 disappear inevitably

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.440
 on your deathbed?

00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:49.720
 Or is it something

00:35:49.720 --> 00:35:50.880
 everlasting that can

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.680
 only come from the

00:35:52.680 --> 00:35:53.860
 God who created you,

00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.640
 who loves you,

00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:58.580
 who wants to spend

00:35:58.580 --> 00:35:59.640
 eternity with you?

00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.199
 I want to close

00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:05.379
 with just a little

00:36:05.379 --> 00:36:06.420
 bit more research

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:07.940
 on waiting that I

00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:08.559
 came across.

00:36:10.879 --> 00:36:11.699
 There are two

00:36:11.699 --> 00:36:13.799
 recent studies from

00:36:13.799 --> 00:36:14.699
 some top-tier

00:36:14.699 --> 00:36:15.739
 universities that I

00:36:15.739 --> 00:36:16.019
 came across.

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.759
 We're talking about

00:36:16.759 --> 00:36:17.440
 big names.

00:36:17.839 --> 00:36:18.500
 University of

00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:19.940
 Chicago, Cornell,

00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:21.719
 UC Berkeley.

00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:23.699
 And one study

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:25.000
 found that, this

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.440
 is the main

00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:26.279
 conclusion that it

00:36:26.279 --> 00:36:27.299
 found, it found

00:36:27.299 --> 00:36:27.900
 that waiting

00:36:27.900 --> 00:36:29.219
 actually makes us

00:36:29.219 --> 00:36:30.079
 more patient

00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:31.399
 because we

00:36:31.399 --> 00:36:32.500
 place a higher

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:34.319
 value on what

00:36:34.319 --> 00:36:35.159
 we're waiting for.

00:36:36.399 --> 00:36:36.679
 Okay?

00:36:37.619 --> 00:36:38.339
 And the other

00:36:38.339 --> 00:36:39.319
 found that waiting

00:36:39.319 --> 00:36:40.879
 can actually make

00:36:40.879 --> 00:36:42.759
 us happy because

00:36:42.759 --> 00:36:44.339
 if we're waiting,

00:36:44.579 --> 00:36:45.439
 especially if we're

00:36:45.439 --> 00:36:46.439
 waiting for an

00:36:46.439 --> 00:36:48.779
 experience, the

00:36:48.779 --> 00:36:49.459
 data actually

00:36:49.459 --> 00:36:50.459
 showed that the

00:36:50.459 --> 00:36:51.159
 waiting for that

00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:52.379
 experience made

00:36:52.379 --> 00:36:53.279
 people happy.

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:56.119
 And as I was

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:56.639
 kind of thinking

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:57.319
 about these

00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.780
 studies, it

00:36:59.780 --> 00:37:00.220
 hit me, it's

00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:00.980
 great that these

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:02.340
 top-tier schools

00:37:02.340 --> 00:37:03.500
 and institutions

00:37:03.500 --> 00:37:04.559
 and top minds

00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:05.160
 are thinking

00:37:05.160 --> 00:37:06.120
 about this issue

00:37:06.120 --> 00:37:07.559
 and they're

00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:08.340
 researching these

00:37:08.340 --> 00:37:09.019
 topics in the

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.920
 21st century.

00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:12.280
 But with a lot

00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:13.500
 of things, God's

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:15.120
 word addressed

00:37:15.120 --> 00:37:16.340
 that about 2,000

00:37:16.340 --> 00:37:16.880
 years ago.

00:37:18.160 --> 00:37:19.180
 In the book of

00:37:19.180 --> 00:37:20.240
 Romans, God tells

00:37:20.240 --> 00:37:20.920
 us that the

00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:22.080
 sufferings of the

00:37:22.080 --> 00:37:23.860
 present are not

00:37:23.860 --> 00:37:25.100
 worth comparing

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:26.739
 to future glory.

00:37:29.179 --> 00:37:30.279
 We read in

00:37:30.279 --> 00:37:31.079
 Romans 8 that

00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:33.279
 all of creation,

00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:34.319
 it's groaning

00:37:34.319 --> 00:37:35.019
 and waiting

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:36.380
 eagerly for

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:37.039
 freedom.

00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:38.279
 We're waiting

00:37:38.279 --> 00:37:39.199
 for our bodies

00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:40.059
 to be made

00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:40.860
 new.

00:37:42.139 --> 00:37:42.839
 And then God

00:37:42.839 --> 00:37:43.619
 tells us something

00:37:43.619 --> 00:37:44.199
 interesting.

00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:45.799
 He says,

00:37:46.179 --> 00:37:47.099
 hope that is

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:48.539
 seen is not

00:37:48.539 --> 00:37:48.920
 hope.

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:51.179
 For who hopes

00:37:51.179 --> 00:37:52.199
 in what he

00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:52.699
 sees?

00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:55.379
 But if we

00:37:55.379 --> 00:37:56.279
 hope for what

00:37:56.279 --> 00:37:57.299
 we do not

00:37:57.299 --> 00:37:58.859
 see, we

00:37:58.859 --> 00:37:59.759
 wait for it

00:37:59.759 --> 00:38:00.919
 with patience.

00:38:02.539 --> 00:38:03.699
 If we hope

00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:04.319
 for what we

00:38:04.319 --> 00:38:05.199
 do not see,

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:06.779
 we wait for it

00:38:06.779 --> 00:38:08.239
 with patience.

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:09.679
 That sounds

00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:10.960
 like some of

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:11.639
 these conclusions

00:38:11.639 --> 00:38:12.519
 that people are

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:13.519
 finally coming to

00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:13.919
 today.

00:38:14.819 --> 00:38:15.699
 Because we

00:38:15.699 --> 00:38:16.179
 don't know

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:17.339
 exactly what

00:38:17.339 --> 00:38:18.639
 eternity will

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:19.119
 look like.

00:38:19.219 --> 00:38:19.659
 We don't know

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:20.399
 exactly what

00:38:20.399 --> 00:38:21.259
 eternal life

00:38:21.259 --> 00:38:22.299
 will look like,

00:38:22.300 --> 00:38:23.440
 but God

00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:24.260
 promises us

00:38:24.260 --> 00:38:24.640
 that it

00:38:24.640 --> 00:38:25.200
 will be

00:38:25.200 --> 00:38:26.140
 amazing.

00:38:27.200 --> 00:38:28.039
 So God,

00:38:28.460 --> 00:38:28.980
 along with

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:29.460
 these top

00:38:29.460 --> 00:38:30.380
 tier universities,

00:38:31.600 --> 00:38:32.080
 they're telling

00:38:32.080 --> 00:38:32.720
 us that we

00:38:32.720 --> 00:38:33.800
 can find joy

00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:35.220
 even in

00:38:35.220 --> 00:38:35.580
 waiting.

00:38:37.320 --> 00:38:38.180
 Even in

00:38:38.180 --> 00:38:38.760
 waiting because

00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:39.500
 the most

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:40.340
 amazing

00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:41.539
 eternal

00:38:41.539 --> 00:38:42.980
 experience is

00:38:42.980 --> 00:38:43.700
 ours to have

00:38:43.700 --> 00:38:44.360
 through Jesus.

00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:46.600
 All the

00:38:46.600 --> 00:38:46.960
 waiting,

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:48.580
 all the

00:38:48.580 --> 00:38:49.019
 wondering,

00:38:49.180 --> 00:38:49.460
 all the

00:38:49.460 --> 00:38:50.200
 suffering in

00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:50.399
 this

00:38:50.399 --> 00:38:51.019
 lifetime,

00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:52.939
 the Lord

00:38:52.939 --> 00:38:53.460
 says,

00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:55.119
 it is worth

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:55.399
 it.

00:38:56.839 --> 00:38:57.139
 The

00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:57.579
 psalmist

00:38:57.579 --> 00:38:58.379
 calls us

00:38:58.379 --> 00:38:59.339
 to wait,

00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:00.359
 to hold

00:39:00.359 --> 00:39:01.219
 fast to

00:39:01.219 --> 00:39:01.899
 the Lord's

00:39:01.899 --> 00:39:02.219
 word,

00:39:03.219 --> 00:39:03.980
 and follow

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.599
 Christ to

00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:05.019
 the end.

00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:07.659
 I'm going to

00:39:07.659 --> 00:39:09.159
 invite the

00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:10.019
 band to come

00:39:10.019 --> 00:39:10.799
 back up right

00:39:10.799 --> 00:39:11.099
 now.

00:39:12.259 --> 00:39:14.079
 But before

00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.899
 jumping right

00:39:14.899 --> 00:39:16.980
 into just

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:17.759
 singing again,

00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:19.440
 I think

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:19.660
 there's

00:39:19.660 --> 00:39:20.280
 something in

00:39:20.280 --> 00:39:21.240
 what the

00:39:21.240 --> 00:39:21.820
 psalmist is

00:39:21.820 --> 00:39:22.440
 telling us,

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:23.180
 to wait in

00:39:23.180 --> 00:39:23.780
 silence.

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.280
 And I

00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:24.640
 don't know

00:39:24.640 --> 00:39:25.120
 if you do

00:39:25.120 --> 00:39:25.760
 that often.

00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:29.520
 But to

00:39:29.520 --> 00:39:30.100
 wait in

00:39:30.100 --> 00:39:30.860
 silence in

00:39:30.860 --> 00:39:31.160
 that

00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:32.360
 confident

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.100
 rest.

00:39:36.540 --> 00:39:37.260
 Let's take

00:39:37.260 --> 00:39:37.780
 a minute to

00:39:37.780 --> 00:39:38.520
 do that right

00:39:38.520 --> 00:39:39.140
 now because

00:39:39.140 --> 00:39:40.460
 every single

00:39:40.460 --> 00:39:41.100
 one of us

00:39:41.100 --> 00:39:42.360
 here is

00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:42.980
 waiting for

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:43.420
 something.

00:39:43.600 --> 00:39:43.940
 And I

00:39:43.940 --> 00:39:44.740
 can't speak

00:39:44.740 --> 00:39:45.500
 to exactly

00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:46.400
 what it

00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:46.780
 is.

00:39:48.820 --> 00:39:49.460
 Some of

00:39:49.460 --> 00:39:49.739
 you in

00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:50.340
 here may

00:39:50.340 --> 00:39:51.539
 be waiting

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:53.840
 for very

00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:54.440
 good things,

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:54.780
 but they're

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:55.179
 not just

00:39:55.179 --> 00:39:55.619
 good things,

00:39:55.699 --> 00:39:55.920
 they've

00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:56.400
 become your

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:56.739
 ultimate

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:57.300
 things.

00:39:59.500 --> 00:40:00.340
 And that

00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:00.940
 waiting is

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.539
 causing you

00:40:01.539 --> 00:40:03.519
 anxiety and

00:40:03.519 --> 00:40:04.179
 frustration.

00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:05.860
 Because even

00:40:05.860 --> 00:40:06.260
 though they're

00:40:06.260 --> 00:40:07.000
 good things,

00:40:07.139 --> 00:40:07.599
 things that

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:08.539
 you will enjoy,

00:40:08.659 --> 00:40:09.219
 that God may

00:40:09.219 --> 00:40:09.940
 even desire

00:40:09.940 --> 00:40:10.760
 for you,

00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:11.219
 you have

00:40:11.219 --> 00:40:11.940
 made them

00:40:11.940 --> 00:40:12.920
 your ultimate.

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:14.639
 and you're

00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:15.039
 no longer

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:15.800
 waiting for

00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:16.700
 eternal life

00:40:16.700 --> 00:40:17.780
 in God's

00:40:17.780 --> 00:40:18.119
 presence,

00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:18.639
 you're just

00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:19.280
 waiting on

00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:19.780
 God to

00:40:19.780 --> 00:40:20.119
 give you

00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:20.500
 stuff.

00:40:23.680 --> 00:40:24.400
 Some of

00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:24.900
 you may be

00:40:24.900 --> 00:40:25.900
 waiting for

00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:26.639
 God intently

00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:29.079
 and God

00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:29.700
 tells you to

00:40:29.700 --> 00:40:30.200
 wait in

00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:31.380
 silence because

00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:32.300
 He will

00:40:32.300 --> 00:40:32.840
 return,

00:40:33.639 --> 00:40:34.119
 He will

00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:34.659
 provide,

00:40:35.220 --> 00:40:35.559
 He will

00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:36.260
 assure you,

00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:37.200
 you never

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:37.639
 know when

00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:38.000
 He will

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:38.420
 return.

00:40:39.220 --> 00:40:39.539
 And He

00:40:39.539 --> 00:40:40.039
 says wait

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:40.619
 patiently,

00:40:40.619 --> 00:40:42.500
 wait

00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:43.380
 expectantly,

00:40:44.659 --> 00:40:46.659
 wait with

00:40:46.659 --> 00:40:47.139
 hope and

00:40:47.139 --> 00:40:47.579
 trust.

00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:51.299
 Some of

00:40:51.299 --> 00:40:51.599
 you may

00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:52.420
 have no

00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:53.219
 idea what

00:40:53.219 --> 00:40:53.679
 you're waiting

00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:54.219
 for this

00:40:54.219 --> 00:40:54.539
 morning.

00:40:55.659 --> 00:40:56.519
 So take

00:40:56.519 --> 00:40:57.219
 this time to

00:40:57.219 --> 00:40:57.960
 just reflect,

00:40:58.500 --> 00:40:59.679
 what is it

00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:00.259
 really that

00:41:00.259 --> 00:41:00.699
 you're waiting

00:41:00.699 --> 00:41:01.079
 for, if

00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:01.619
 you're honest?

00:41:01.759 --> 00:41:02.519
 Is it just

00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:03.319
 that promotion?

00:41:04.299 --> 00:41:05.199
 Is it just

00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:06.719
 that special

00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:07.199
 someone?

00:41:08.659 --> 00:41:09.500
 Is it a

00:41:09.500 --> 00:41:09.940
 child?

00:41:09.940 --> 00:41:10.460
 Is it

00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:11.200
 having kids?

00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:11.700
 Is it

00:41:11.700 --> 00:41:13.139
 that next

00:41:13.139 --> 00:41:13.740
 vacation?

00:41:17.139 --> 00:41:17.860
 And where

00:41:17.860 --> 00:41:18.280
 does that

00:41:18.280 --> 00:41:20.099
 fall within

00:41:20.099 --> 00:41:20.900
 God's call

00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:21.720
 to wait for

00:41:21.720 --> 00:41:23.099
 Him and

00:41:23.099 --> 00:41:23.440
 wait for

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:23.860
 eternity?

00:41:24.820 --> 00:41:25.119
 So just

00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:25.500
 take this

00:41:25.500 --> 00:41:26.000
 time to

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:28.159
 reflect and

00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:30.179
 close your

00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:30.659
 eyes if you

00:41:30.659 --> 00:41:30.940
 want,

00:41:31.240 --> 00:41:31.559
 meditate,

00:41:33.320 --> 00:41:34.260
 and Julie

00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:34.760
 and the band

00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:35.280
 will lead us

00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:37.139
 when we're

00:41:37.139 --> 00:41:37.700
 ready to go.
