00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.740
 So we're going to be looking at Psalm 13 tonight.

00:00:02.899 --> 00:00:10.320
 So our pattern has been over recent months to go through a psalm as we share the Lord's Supper together,

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:12.519
 and we are up to Psalm 13.

00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:17.120
 So I'm going to pray for us. Anderson's going to come and read.

00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:21.660
 Seth's going to come and preach for us, and then we will sing again.

00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:26.219
 So let me pray, and then, Anderson, you can come and read God's Word for us.

00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:31.660
 Father, we thank you that these are your words to us.

00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.920
 Thank you that you're a good God who loves to speak.

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:41.500
 Please, we pray now, help us as your Word is read and preached to us to listen carefully

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:47.539
 for the sake of your glory and to do us good, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:00:47.539 --> 00:00:47.599
 Amen.

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:55.820
 Psalm 13.

00:00:56.219 --> 00:00:59.560
 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.879
 How long will you hide your face from me?

00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:06.439
 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.920
 How long will my enemy triumph over me?

00:01:09.859 --> 00:01:11.640
 Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:14.859
 Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:18.079
 And my enemy will say, I have overcome him.

00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.140
 And my foes will rejoice when I fall.

00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:22.519
 But I trust in your unfailing love.

00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.439
 My heart rejoices in your salvation.

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.500
 I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me.

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:37.840
 Thanks, Anderson.

00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:45.000
 As was just said, we will be in Psalm 13.

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.260
 So I encourage you to get your Bible out, get your phone out.

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:49.359
 So we'll refer back to the text multiple times.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:55.459
 I want to start us off today thinking about Christ, obviously, right?

00:01:55.700 --> 00:02:03.519
 So when Christ died on the cross, he said three words, right?

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.200
 It is finished.

00:02:06.539 --> 00:02:12.680
 And these three words ring throughout eternity as a rally cry for Christians.

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.400
 These three words signify what Christianity is all about, right?

00:02:18.140 --> 00:02:23.040
 Christ came, he died on the cross, but he did not stay dead.

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:30.240
 He was raised three days later, defeating death, saying the words, it is finished.

00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:35.500
 And these words show how the story will end.

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:43.879
 See, when the great armies of heaven and hell gather at the end of days, it won't even be a contest.

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:49.219
 The Lord opens his mouth, and the armies of hell are defeated.

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:59.819
 And so the words, it is finished, give the Christian confidence that whatever may happen,

00:02:59.819 --> 00:03:03.060
 they can trust in God, right?

00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:10.319
 Now, some of you might be a little confused right now, saying,

00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:12.280
 did he just get his notes out of order?

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.919
 It feels a little bit more like the end of the sermon instead of the beginning.

00:03:19.079 --> 00:03:21.039
 But anyway, best Sunday night ever.

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:23.099
 Let's wrap this up, take the sofa, and go home.

00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:30.199
 But before you pack, I want us to ask the question,

00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:39.680
 if this is true, if the words, it is finished, show and give the Christian confidence to trust God,

00:03:40.859 --> 00:03:43.620
 why does it always feel like we have victory?

00:03:47.079 --> 00:03:51.500
 Why can't I even read the Bible sometimes without feeling distracted and getting distracted?

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:58.099
 How come I can't get some joy or victory over some of the seasonal depression that is happening right now in February?

00:03:59.419 --> 00:04:03.180
 Why does it sometimes feel like we picked the wrong side?

00:04:05.379 --> 00:04:08.859
 If you felt too scared to ask those questions before,

00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:10.919
 I want you to take heart.

00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:11.759
 You're not alone.

00:04:13.579 --> 00:04:16.719
 But see, we get the benefit of somebody asking those questions.

00:04:18.139 --> 00:04:20.360
 Multiple years ago, his name was King David.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.620
 In the Old Testament, he had the nickname, a man after God's own heart.

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:31.280
 And yet, this man after God's own heart felt abandoned.

00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:35.240
 And he felt left by God at times.

00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:39.300
 But see, for our benefit, he wrote about it.

00:04:39.340 --> 00:04:41.699
 And that's what we just read in Psalm 13, right?

00:04:41.699 --> 00:04:46.759
 So when we're dealing with situations where we feel like we might be on the losing side,

00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:50.219
 or we feel like we're that guy right there, we're on the edge of the cliff,

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.680
 and just a simple push will make us go tumbling down,

00:04:55.019 --> 00:04:59.579
 I want us to remember the lip of Psalm 13.

00:05:02.219 --> 00:05:07.399
 Lament, intercession, lamentation, intercession, and praise.

00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:12.139
 See, David is going to model that when you're under stress,

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.579
 there's three things that you can do.

00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.560
 He's going to model that in this Psalm of lament,

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:20.599
 remember that there is an intercessor,

00:05:21.599 --> 00:05:22.419
 and praise the Lord.

00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.519
 So that first section, verses 1 and 2, are lamentation,

00:05:26.899 --> 00:05:31.299
 because as we read earlier, this is a Psalm of lament.

00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:34.680
 Just look at the first verses.

00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.980
 How long is repeated four times?

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:47.540
 David is feeling that God is uncaring, distant, callous, and thoughtless.

00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.379
 He's lamenting.

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.319
 And he's using some bold language to do it, if I may say so.

00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.139
 If you first read, you might get a little antsy, right?

00:05:57.139 --> 00:06:00.680
 Like, if David was sitting here in the room today,

00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.180
 you might take the seat just one seat away,

00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:06.379
 so that when the lightning strikes, you know, it doesn't hit you.

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:16.199
 But see, David here in this Psalm is appealing to God.

00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:22.019
 And that's really what the definition of a Psalm of lament is.

00:06:22.860 --> 00:06:24.039
 It's an appeal.

00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:30.879
 Its central aim is to appeal something to God.

00:06:30.979 --> 00:06:33.639
 And David, well, he has a few appeals.

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.500
 He has a laundry list of things that have happened in his life,

00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.300
 and we, unfortunately, can't get to all of them.

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.279
 But needless to say, David's been keeping receipts.

00:06:46.699 --> 00:06:49.120
 And in these first two verses, he's saying to God,

00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:52.319
 how long am I going to be separated?

00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.199
 How long am I going to feel these feelings of separation from you, God?

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:02.800
 And as the pressure builds in our own lives,

00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.459
 there are moments where we can get to where David is at here.

00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.079
 We can ask, where are you, God?

00:07:10.159 --> 00:07:13.319
 It's getting harder and harder to believe those words

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.279
 that you uttered on the cross of,

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:16.439
 it is finished.

00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.579
 Where is this victory, God?

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.139
 And see, Psalm 13 starts here,

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:29.639
 in the same spot that any program that deals with addiction will start, right?

00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:35.019
 What's the first step in any program that deals with addiction?

00:07:35.339 --> 00:07:37.959
 You have to admit that you have a problem.

00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:40.220
 That's where the Psalm starts.

00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:42.560
 But there's a key difference.

00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:49.939
 You have to, for a lament Psalm,

00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.699
 to follow what David is saying here,

00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:55.620
 we have to, yes, admit to the Lord,

00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.220
 but we have to realize that the solution doesn't come from ourselves.

00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:04.840
 And see, the Bible doesn't mince words here when it talks about it.

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.240
 It's when we hit a problem,

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.680
 yes, admitting that we have a problem is a priority,

00:08:09.899 --> 00:08:12.420
 and it is a good thing to do.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.019
 But it is only the start.

00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.300
 We must continue this process and realize

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:25.980
 that I can't fix this problem.

00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.100
 And there's no amount of clawing, scraping, or trying

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:34.340
 that is going to get us out of this pit of despair that we may feel.

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:40.519
 We need a hand reaching down into that pit.

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:45.199
 We need an intercessor to pull us out.

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:50.539
 So read on with me as we go to the next session of intercessor, verses 3 and 4.

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:51.779
 They say,

00:08:51.779 --> 00:09:05.100
 David starts the psalm by lamenting,

00:09:05.439 --> 00:09:06.899
 what we talked about in verses 1 and 2.

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:10.019
 And I would argue here that he keeps on lamenting, right?

00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:10.899
 Look at his words.

00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:12.360
 Look on me and answer.

00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.100
 Don't let my foes rejoice.

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:20.919
 But if you look at the verse, there is a slight shift in his language.

00:09:21.179 --> 00:09:25.159
 He's moving on from just a general lament, a general despair,

00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:28.639
 to saying that he needs something.

00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.919
 What does he need?

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:35.259
 He needs an intercessor.

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.960
 He needs deliverance.

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:38.159
 Look back at me with verse 3.

00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:39.720
 David says,

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:41.559
 Give light to my eyes.

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:46.919
 He needs light to shine in so that he can see his way forward.

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:50.000
 Right now, he cannot see any way forward out of the pit,

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:52.419
 and he needs somebody to give him direction.

00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:58.360
 The most obvious example of this that we can apply to our own lives, right?

00:09:58.459 --> 00:09:59.120
 Close our eyes.

00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:02.419
 If we all close our eyes right now, what do we see?

00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:05.679
 Nothing, right?

00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:06.339
 It's dark.

00:10:06.620 --> 00:10:07.299
 You can open your eyes.

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:09.839
 But when you open your eyes,

00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:12.279
 why do you see?

00:10:14.299 --> 00:10:16.059
 It's not some philosophical question.

00:10:16.599 --> 00:10:20.819
 It's simply because there is light hitting your eyes, right,

00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:22.700
 so that you can see the way forward.

00:10:25.020 --> 00:10:28.080
 It's because our eyes have light that we can see.

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.320
 That's what David is saying.

00:10:29.640 --> 00:10:32.080
 I need light to go on, God,

00:10:32.560 --> 00:10:34.860
 but I can't provide it.

00:10:35.060 --> 00:10:36.960
 I don't see a way out.

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.180
 It has to be given to me.

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:45.600
 So we need somebody,

00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:46.840
 even in our own lives,

00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:49.460
 when we get into moments in the pit,

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:54.300
 we need somebody to intercede for us

00:10:54.300 --> 00:10:56.480
 and give us light in darkness.

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.040
 David needed the same thing.

00:11:01.780 --> 00:11:05.280
 He needed somebody to reach down into that pit

00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:07.860
 and pull him out.

00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:10.240
 And that's what Christ does for us, right?

00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:12.780
 That's what we talked about at the very beginning of this sermon.

00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:16.139
 Christ reaches down into the pit

00:11:16.139 --> 00:11:17.819
 and pulls us out.

00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.860
 But what about the times

00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:24.539
 when you're like David

00:11:24.539 --> 00:11:26.899
 and you're stuck in the pit

00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:31.019
 and there is no hand reaching down?

00:11:33.100 --> 00:11:34.539
 You would say,

00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:35.199
 I'm a Christian.

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.279
 I've been praying to God.

00:11:36.340 --> 00:11:37.960
 God, where is that hand?

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:40.559
 What do you do then?

00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.139
 Why does it feel like I'm being punished, Lord?

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:44.980
 Why is my problem not better?

00:11:47.699 --> 00:11:48.860
 Can I say something

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:49.879
 that might not be comforting

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:50.860
 to anybody in the room?

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.059
 I don't know.

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:58.519
 Genuinely, I don't know

00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.740
 and we don't know

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:01.879
 why Jesus chooses to heal some

00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.399
 and not others

00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:04.720
 in his earthly ministry.

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:08.200
 We don't know why

00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.100
 Paul, the Apostle Paul,

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:11.580
 was able to go to Rome

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:13.160
 but the Spirit wouldn't let him go to Asia.

00:12:14.540 --> 00:12:16.420
 And we don't know why

00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:17.960
 even in today

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.860
 why God will heal some

00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:20.780
 of cancer

00:12:20.780 --> 00:12:22.900
 and let others die.

00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:26.240
 See Isaiah 55, 8

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.600
 it says,

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.639
 For my thoughts are not your thoughts.

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.259
 This is God talking.

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.900
 Neither are your ways my ways

00:12:32.900 --> 00:12:34.840
 declares the Lord.

00:12:36.180 --> 00:12:37.420
 So I don't know

00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:38.920
 why God works in some ways

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:39.780
 and not others.

00:12:39.779 --> 00:12:41.559
 However, what I do know

00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.299
 is the process.

00:12:44.199 --> 00:12:45.899
 And because I know this process

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:47.839
 I can trust the result.

00:12:48.699 --> 00:12:49.339
 You might be saying,

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:50.319
 Seth, what do you mean?

00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:53.620
 I can illustrate it like this.

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:55.139
 Have you ever heard of somebody

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:55.860
 tell you

00:12:55.860 --> 00:12:57.879
 not to understand

00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:58.699
 what's in a hot dog?

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.259
 You don't want to know

00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:02.220
 the process

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:04.159
 of what it makes

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.959
 and what it takes

00:13:04.959 --> 00:13:05.839
 to make a hot dog.

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.340
 Just eat it

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:09.840
 and trust the result.

00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:10.280
 Right?

00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:13.600
 That's not

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:14.759
 what God says.

00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.259
 See God says,

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:18.280
 don't look at the man

00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:18.980
 behind the curtain.

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:20.220
 That's not who he is.

00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:21.780
 See he shows us

00:13:21.780 --> 00:13:22.480
 the process

00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.379
 and because of his

00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:25.160
 loving nature

00:13:25.160 --> 00:13:26.360
 we can trust the result.

00:13:27.060 --> 00:13:27.980
 So let's think about

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.580
 this process.

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.920
 Why can I trust God

00:13:30.920 --> 00:13:31.840
 when I am in the pit

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.400
 and it feels like

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:33.700
 there is no hand

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:35.460
 reaching down towards me.

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:37.460
 It goes back

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:38.440
 to what we talked about earlier.

00:13:38.560 --> 00:13:39.620
 What happened on the cross

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:40.700
 2,000 years ago.

00:13:41.640 --> 00:13:42.140
 And see Jesus

00:13:42.140 --> 00:13:43.720
 when he died on the cross

00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:45.500
 he was resurrected

00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:46.980
 and defeated death.

00:13:47.100 --> 00:13:48.540
 We call that redemption.

00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.820
 Because of his sacrifice

00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:53.580
 if you are a Christian

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:54.460
 in the room

00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:56.920
 you have been redeemed.

00:13:57.420 --> 00:13:58.460
 Romans 5.1

00:13:58.460 --> 00:13:59.460
 would say that.

00:13:59.700 --> 00:14:00.960
 Therefore since we

00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.820
 have been justified

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:03.720
 by faith

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.300
 we have peace with God

00:14:05.300 --> 00:14:07.000
 through our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.860
 Notice the past tense there.

00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:12.800
 Have been justified.

00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:15.080
 See this is what happened

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.520
 when we became Christians.

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:18.020
 It's already been accomplished.

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.200
 Now if we look forward

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.280
 Colossians 3

00:14:23.280 --> 00:14:24.500
 gives us a picture

00:14:24.500 --> 00:14:25.260
 of what's going to happen

00:14:25.260 --> 00:14:26.000
 when we move forward.

00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:27.980
 Colossians 3 says

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:28.960
 when Christ

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.500
 who is your life

00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:31.100
 appears

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:32.920
 then you will

00:14:32.920 --> 00:14:35.379
 then you also will

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:36.800
 appear with him in glory.

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.980
 Future tense.

00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:39.279
 Right?

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.200
 You will appear.

00:14:42.420 --> 00:14:43.879
 But what happens now

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.820
 for the Christian?

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:48.519
 What is happening now?

00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.320
 Hebrews 7.25

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:51.740
 says

00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:52.460
 consequently

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:54.419
 he is able to save

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:55.399
 to the uttermost

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:57.019
 those who draw near to God

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:57.919
 through him

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.879
 since he always lives.

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:00.980
 He being their Christ.

00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:03.259
 Christ always lives

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.840
 to make intercession for them.

00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:07.899
 Always lives there

00:15:07.899 --> 00:15:10.139
 is in the present tense.

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:15.180
 Christ always

00:15:15.180 --> 00:15:17.120
 is interceding

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.320
 for us.

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.460
 Tyler

00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:21.580
 Statton

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:22.300
 he's a

00:15:22.300 --> 00:15:23.360
 pastor out in Oregon

00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:23.760
 he says

00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:24.320
 intercession

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:25.180
 is the present

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:25.760
 action

00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:27.040
 of Jesus

00:15:27.040 --> 00:15:28.200
 that pulls

00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:28.920
 at this story

00:15:28.920 --> 00:15:29.879
 from both ends.

00:15:30.280 --> 00:15:31.520
 The salvation work

00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:32.420
 accomplished

00:15:32.420 --> 00:15:33.360
 in the past

00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:34.540
 and the glory

00:15:34.540 --> 00:15:35.240
 that awaits us

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:35.960
 in the future.

00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:37.840
 Intercession

00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.300
 stated as simply

00:15:39.300 --> 00:15:40.020
 as possible

00:15:40.020 --> 00:15:41.160
 brings forth

00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:42.020
 the image

00:15:42.020 --> 00:15:42.980
 of Jesus

00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:44.380
 praying for us

00:15:44.380 --> 00:15:45.280
 individually

00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:46.920
 by name.

00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.120
 and as he does

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:50.299
 he wedges us

00:15:50.299 --> 00:15:50.699
 tightly

00:15:50.699 --> 00:15:52.179
 between forgiveness

00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:52.959
 and glory

00:15:52.959 --> 00:15:54.059
 enabling a deep

00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:54.659
 inner rest

00:15:54.659 --> 00:15:55.879
 sheltered by security

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.039
 hope

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:57.860
 and delight.

00:15:59.159 --> 00:15:59.799
 See God

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:00.599
 shows us

00:16:00.599 --> 00:16:01.079
 the process

00:16:01.079 --> 00:16:01.919
 of what is happening.

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:02.860
 He gives us

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.719
 a peek under the bonnet

00:16:03.719 --> 00:16:04.179
 if you will.

00:16:07.199 --> 00:16:07.599
 Redemption

00:16:07.599 --> 00:16:08.299
 happens when we

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:09.379
 became a Christian.

00:16:11.719 --> 00:16:12.139
 Glorification

00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:13.099
 is what will happen

00:16:13.099 --> 00:16:13.679
 when Christ

00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:14.439
 comes back

00:16:14.439 --> 00:16:15.539
 but intercession

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.419
 is what is happening

00:16:16.419 --> 00:16:16.860
 now

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:18.139
 for the believer.

00:16:19.940 --> 00:16:21.060
 And because of this

00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:21.680
 knowledge

00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:23.960
 of the process

00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:24.659
 of what Jesus

00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:25.220
 is doing

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:25.600
 as he's

00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.399
 wedging us

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.000
 between

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.259
 glorification

00:16:28.259 --> 00:16:31.300
 and redemption

00:16:31.300 --> 00:16:31.320
!

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:34.440
 And because of

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:34.879
 the knowledge

00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:35.440
 of the nature

00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:35.899
 of God

00:16:35.899 --> 00:16:36.700
 that we have

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.740
 we can trust

00:16:37.740 --> 00:16:38.320
 his word

00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.620
 and his intercessory

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.000
 work

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:40.700
 no matter

00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:41.779
 whatever pit

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:42.220
 we are in.

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:44.580
 So because

00:16:44.580 --> 00:16:45.680
 he's opened up

00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:46.059
 the bonnet

00:16:46.059 --> 00:16:46.659
 and given

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:47.319
 us

00:16:47.319 --> 00:16:49.159
 the process

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.259
 we may be

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:52.579
 going through

00:16:52.579 --> 00:16:52.979
 some tough

00:16:52.979 --> 00:16:53.699
 times and say

00:16:53.699 --> 00:16:54.279
 Lord I really

00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:54.699
 feel like I

00:16:54.699 --> 00:16:55.439
 could use

00:16:55.439 --> 00:16:56.439
 a hand here

00:16:56.439 --> 00:16:57.759
 to pull me

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.219
 out of this

00:16:58.219 --> 00:16:58.459
 pit

00:16:58.459 --> 00:17:00.579
 but even

00:17:00.579 --> 00:17:00.959
 if you

00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:01.699
 don't

00:17:01.699 --> 00:17:05.940
 I can respond

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.559
 like David

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.200
 does in the

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:07.919
 next section

00:17:07.919 --> 00:17:08.740
 in praise.

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:11.120
 so if we

00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:11.460
 look at that

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:11.980
 last section

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:13.099
 verses 5 and 6

00:17:13.099 --> 00:17:14.720
 and talk about

00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.019
 praise

00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:15.920
 let's read 5 and 6

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:16.200
 again

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.240
 but I trust

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.900
 in your unfailing

00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:18.180
 love

00:17:18.180 --> 00:17:18.559
 my heart

00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:19.019
 rejoices

00:17:19.019 --> 00:17:19.519
 in your

00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:19.980
 salvation

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:21.319
 I will sing

00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:21.839
 the Lord's

00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:22.079
 praise

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:22.480
 for he

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:22.920
 has been

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:23.460
 good to me

00:17:23.460 --> 00:17:24.960
 if your

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.720
 neck is sore

00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:26.079
 from the

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.799
 whiplash there

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.359
 of that verse

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:27.700
 you're not

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:28.039
 alone

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.579
 David

00:17:29.579 --> 00:17:31.859
 was saying

00:17:31.859 --> 00:17:33.200
 how long

00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.759
 how long

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:34.019
 will you

00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:34.539
 forget me

00:17:34.539 --> 00:17:34.960
 forever

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.299
 God

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:35.819
 just a few

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:36.120
 verses

00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:36.539
 earlier

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:37.519
 how does

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:37.719
 he go

00:17:37.719 --> 00:17:38.119
 from that

00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:38.779
 to singing

00:17:38.779 --> 00:17:39.599
 the Lord's

00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.239
 praises

00:17:40.239 --> 00:17:42.659
 see

00:17:42.659 --> 00:17:43.379
 David

00:17:43.379 --> 00:17:43.939
 had

00:17:43.939 --> 00:17:45.079
 a knowledge

00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:45.539
 of God

00:17:45.539 --> 00:17:45.839
 and he

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.479
 understood

00:17:46.479 --> 00:17:47.079
 God's

00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:47.339
 work

00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:48.759
 but it

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:49.039
 wasn't

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:49.559
 just a

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:49.879
 head

00:17:49.879 --> 00:17:50.399
 knowledge

00:17:50.399 --> 00:17:51.879
 it

00:17:51.879 --> 00:17:52.319
 moved

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.779
 to his

00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:53.219
 heart

00:17:53.219 --> 00:17:54.319
 see

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:54.619
 earlier

00:17:54.619 --> 00:17:54.959
 I said

00:17:54.959 --> 00:17:55.359
 Christians

00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:55.879
 we have

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:56.319
 a knowledge

00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:56.819
 that Christ

00:17:56.819 --> 00:17:57.199
 conquered

00:17:57.199 --> 00:17:57.559
 death

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:57.839
 and we

00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:58.039
 said

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.179
 we

00:17:58.179 --> 00:17:58.539
 believe

00:17:58.539 --> 00:17:58.779
 this

00:17:58.779 --> 00:17:59.019
 right

00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:00.439
 but how

00:18:00.439 --> 00:18:00.799
 do we

00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:01.119
 move

00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:01.419
 that

00:18:01.419 --> 00:18:02.719
 knowledge

00:18:02.719 --> 00:18:03.379
 from our

00:18:03.379 --> 00:18:03.959
 heads

00:18:03.959 --> 00:18:05.399
 to

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:05.540
 it's

00:18:05.540 --> 00:18:05.920
 actually

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:06.220
 coming

00:18:06.220 --> 00:18:06.519
 out

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:06.800
 of us

00:18:06.800 --> 00:18:07.080
 when we're

00:18:07.080 --> 00:18:07.320
 in the

00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:07.500
 pit

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:07.680
 and we

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:07.940
 don't feel

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:08.240
 like there's

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:08.580
 a hand

00:18:08.580 --> 00:18:09.060
 reaching down

00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:09.400
 to save

00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:09.700
 us

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:11.780
 see in modern

00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:12.120
 English

00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:12.740
 there's a

00:18:12.740 --> 00:18:13.100
 difference

00:18:13.100 --> 00:18:13.759
 between know

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:14.300
 and believe

00:18:14.300 --> 00:18:14.640
 right

00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:16.680
 what does

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:17.160
 know mean

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:18.840
 means you can

00:18:18.840 --> 00:18:19.700
 recall something

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:20.540
 it's what we

00:18:20.540 --> 00:18:21.280
 test for

00:18:21.280 --> 00:18:21.700
 most

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.880
 teachers do

00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:23.120
 right

00:18:23.120 --> 00:18:25.780
 but what does

00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:26.620
 believe mean

00:18:26.620 --> 00:18:27.960
 believe means

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.720
 we can hold

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.680
 on to something

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:30.780
 you would hold

00:18:30.780 --> 00:18:31.280
 to it

00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:32.500
 but in Hebrew

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:33.080
 that's not

00:18:33.080 --> 00:18:33.740
 the case

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.540
 the Hebrew

00:18:34.540 --> 00:18:34.940
 word here

00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:35.380
 is yada

00:18:35.380 --> 00:18:35.980
 which means

00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:36.820
 a relational

00:18:36.820 --> 00:18:37.500
 knowing

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:39.200
 the example

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:39.779
 is how do I

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:40.920
 know my

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.440
 life loves

00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:41.640
 me

00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:43.799
 well I

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:44.180
 would say

00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:44.660
 when I'm

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:45.019
 sick she

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:45.480
 takes care

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:45.740
 of me

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:47.279
 when

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:48.940
 I'm hungry

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:49.740
 she doesn't

00:18:49.740 --> 00:18:50.000
 let me

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.279
 starve

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:50.660
 she does

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:51.080
 feed me

00:18:51.080 --> 00:18:53.900
 I would

00:18:53.900 --> 00:18:54.259
 say

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:54.880
 she

00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:56.059
 puts away

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:56.559
 my shoes

00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:56.840
 that I

00:18:56.840 --> 00:18:57.180
 can't ever

00:18:57.180 --> 00:18:57.920
 find the

00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:58.320
 shoe rack

00:18:58.320 --> 00:18:58.580
 for

00:18:58.580 --> 00:18:59.539
 even though

00:18:59.539 --> 00:18:59.880
 I leave

00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:00.400
 them just

00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:00.799
 wherever

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.160
 around

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:02.180
 she loves

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:02.460
 me that

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:02.580
 way

00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:02.799
 and puts

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:02.940
 them

00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:03.140
 away

00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:04.560
 I

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:04.780
 would say

00:19:04.780 --> 00:19:05.240
 she works

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:05.680
 a job

00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.060
 right now

00:19:06.060 --> 00:19:06.460
 that keeps

00:19:06.460 --> 00:19:06.920
 us in

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.620
 this country

00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:09.500
 see when

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.160
 you would

00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.180
 ask how

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:11.500
 do you

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:11.960
 know your

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:12.680
 wife loves

00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:13.100
 you

00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:14.300
 I would

00:19:14.300 --> 00:19:15.360
 show and

00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:15.620
 I would

00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:16.200
 tell you

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:16.700
 by the way

00:19:16.700 --> 00:19:17.340
 she shows

00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:17.600
 me

00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:20.280
 I know

00:19:20.280 --> 00:19:20.880
 she loves

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:21.720
 me because

00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.060
 I have

00:19:22.060 --> 00:19:23.100
 experienced

00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:24.580
 her love

00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:27.080
 and that's a

00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:27.980
 true meaning

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.560
 of the Hebrew

00:19:28.560 --> 00:19:29.200
 word here

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.520
 right

00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.099
 in Genesis

00:19:31.099 --> 00:19:31.579
 you go all

00:19:31.579 --> 00:19:31.720
 the way

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:31.980
 back to

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:32.240
 the first

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:32.500
 book of

00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:32.859
 the Bible

00:19:32.859 --> 00:19:34.299
 when Adam

00:19:34.299 --> 00:19:34.619
 and Eve

00:19:34.619 --> 00:19:35.139
 are having

00:19:35.139 --> 00:19:35.639
 children

00:19:35.639 --> 00:19:36.639
 what does

00:19:36.639 --> 00:19:37.099
 the Bible

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:37.759
 use

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.759
 as the

00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:39.119
 word

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.740
 he says

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:42.119
 no

00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:42.420
 right

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:42.759
 the Bible

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.400
 says no

00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:45.259
 why does

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.639
 it use

00:19:45.639 --> 00:19:46.279
 this term

00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:48.339
 because

00:19:48.339 --> 00:19:49.180
 knowledge

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:51.160
 in the

00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:51.480
 Hebrew

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:52.519
 is relational

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.799
 it's

00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:54.359
 intimate

00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.240
 and spiritual

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.839
 knowledge for

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.200
 us needs

00:19:58.200 --> 00:19:58.579
 to be the

00:19:58.579 --> 00:19:58.799
 same

00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.559
 it needs

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:00.819
 to be

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:01.379
 inhabited

00:20:01.379 --> 00:20:03.099
 experienced

00:20:03.099 --> 00:20:04.440
 and lived

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.279
 that's what

00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:06.819
 the psalmist

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.259
 is saying

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:07.599
 in verses

00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:08.119
 five and

00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:08.599
 six

00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:09.579
 David didn't

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.039
 just know

00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:11.000
 of God

00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.740
 he experienced

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.039
 him

00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.919
 he was

00:20:14.919 --> 00:20:16.059
 experiencing

00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:17.059
 being held

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:18.379
 between grace

00:20:18.379 --> 00:20:19.519
 and glorification

00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:20.500
 look back

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:20.940
 at it

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:21.599
 verse five

00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:22.359
 but I trust

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:22.819
 in your

00:20:22.819 --> 00:20:23.339
 unfailing

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:23.859
 love

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:24.819
 my heart

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.680
 rejoices

00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:26.139
 in your

00:20:26.139 --> 00:20:26.559
 salvation

00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:27.839
 I will sing

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:28.539
 the Lord's

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:28.920
 praise

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.980
 how David

00:20:29.980 --> 00:20:30.720
 how can

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.200
 you sing

00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:31.859
 the Lord's

00:20:31.859 --> 00:20:32.119
 praises

00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:32.559
 you are

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.440
 in the

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:33.899
 pit

00:20:33.899 --> 00:20:34.859
 three verses

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:35.220
 earlier

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:35.659
 you said

00:20:35.659 --> 00:20:36.319
 give me

00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.859
 light

00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:37.839
 or I

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.700
 will

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:39.700
 die

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:43.700
 because of

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:43.940
 the end

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:44.240
 of verse

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:44.619
 six

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:47.720
 for he

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:48.519
 has

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.059
 been

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:49.680
 good

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.619
 to me

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:52.440
 I know

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:52.779
 you didn't

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.240
 sign up

00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:53.720
 for a grammar

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:54.299
 lesson here

00:20:54.299 --> 00:20:54.559
 when you

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:54.819
 came

00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:55.399
 but again

00:20:55.399 --> 00:20:55.839
 look at

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.299
 the tense

00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:56.859
 of that

00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:57.179
 word

00:20:57.179 --> 00:20:58.059
 has

00:20:58.059 --> 00:20:58.599
 been

00:20:58.599 --> 00:20:59.339
 David

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:00.259
 didn't

00:21:00.259 --> 00:21:00.439
 just

00:21:00.439 --> 00:21:00.799
 write

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:01.079
 this

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.419
 song

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:02.039
 he

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.359
 didn't

00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:02.960
 just

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.679
 believe

00:21:03.679 --> 00:21:04.000
 this

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:04.279
 song

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:04.960
 he

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.659
 knew

00:21:05.659 --> 00:21:06.039
 it

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.599
 why

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.980
 because he

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:09.079
 had

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:09.819
 experienced

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.139
 it

00:21:10.139 --> 00:21:10.599
 before

00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:13.339
 the knowledge

00:21:13.339 --> 00:21:13.759
 of God

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.200
 had moved

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.899
 from his

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:15.379
 head

00:21:15.379 --> 00:21:16.399
 to his

00:21:16.399 --> 00:21:16.599
 heart

00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.299
 and that's

00:21:18.299 --> 00:21:18.480
 what the

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:18.720
 passage

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:19.139
 calls us

00:21:19.139 --> 00:21:19.339
 to do

00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:19.659
 today

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:22.380
 don't

00:21:22.380 --> 00:21:22.540
 just

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:22.759
 think

00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:23.279
 of God

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:24.220
 as some

00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:24.580
 person

00:21:24.580 --> 00:21:24.900
 in the

00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:25.240
 sky

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.880
 that you

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.279
 send your

00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:28.080
 prayer request

00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:28.640
 up to

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:29.300
 and hope

00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:29.480
 you don't

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:30.220
 get denied

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:32.600
 almost like

00:21:32.600 --> 00:21:33.060
 a mean

00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:33.580
 boss

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:33.880
 right

00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.580
 instead

00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:37.800
 experience

00:21:37.800 --> 00:21:38.160
 him

00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.019
 and that

00:21:41.019 --> 00:21:41.340
 leads us

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:41.560
 to the

00:21:41.560 --> 00:21:41.880
 question

00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:42.560
 the obvious

00:21:42.560 --> 00:21:42.860
 question

00:21:42.860 --> 00:21:43.420
 is how

00:21:43.420 --> 00:21:45.500
 a great

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:45.920
 example

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:46.480
 of this

00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:47.940
 is civil

00:21:47.940 --> 00:21:48.400
 rights leader

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:48.820
 Martin Luther

00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:49.040
 King

00:21:49.040 --> 00:21:49.279
 Jr.

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:51.180
 see in

00:21:51.180 --> 00:21:51.480
 March

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.540
 of 1965

00:21:52.540 --> 00:21:53.720
 Martin

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:53.880
 Luther

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:54.100
 King

00:21:54.100 --> 00:21:54.360
 Jr.

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:54.779
 stood

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:55.160
 on the

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:55.640
 Alabama

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:56.360
 courthouse

00:21:56.360 --> 00:21:57.080
 where two

00:21:57.080 --> 00:21:58.080
 years earlier

00:21:58.080 --> 00:21:59.680
 the governor

00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:00.279
 of Alabama

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:00.820
 George

00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:01.220
 Wallace

00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:01.800
 had uttered

00:22:01.800 --> 00:22:02.300
 these

00:22:02.300 --> 00:22:02.920
 words

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.180
 segregation

00:22:04.180 --> 00:22:04.900
 now

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:06.080
 segregation

00:22:06.080 --> 00:22:06.800
 tomorrow

00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:08.120
 and segregation

00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:08.720
 forever

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.920
 Luther was

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.540
 not on

00:22:12.540 --> 00:22:13.000
 these steps

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.660
 by accident

00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:15.140
 just two

00:22:15.140 --> 00:22:15.680
 weeks

00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:16.180
 prior

00:22:16.180 --> 00:22:19.040
 in

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:19.440
 Selma

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:19.940
 Alabama

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:20.220
 some

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:20.639
 protesters

00:22:20.639 --> 00:22:20.879
 had

00:22:20.879 --> 00:22:21.319
 gathered

00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:21.799
 together

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.680
 to protest

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:23.279
 segregation

00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:23.639
 and the

00:22:23.639 --> 00:22:24.099
 lack of

00:22:24.099 --> 00:22:24.639
 voting rights

00:22:24.639 --> 00:22:25.099
 for African

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:25.619
 Americans

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:28.659
 and as

00:22:28.659 --> 00:22:28.839
 these

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.339
 protesters

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.899
 peacefully

00:22:29.899 --> 00:22:30.279
 gathered

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:30.940
 to march

00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:31.700
 the 50

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:32.059
 miles

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:32.799
 from Selma

00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:33.779
 to the

00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:34.240
 capital of

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:34.599
 Montgomery

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.240
 they

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.639
 didn't even

00:22:38.639 --> 00:22:38.959
 make it

00:22:38.959 --> 00:22:39.240
 out of

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.519
 town

00:22:39.519 --> 00:22:40.819
 before they

00:22:40.819 --> 00:22:40.980
 were

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:41.459
 stopped

00:22:41.459 --> 00:22:43.259
 tear

00:22:43.259 --> 00:22:43.740
 gassed

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:45.319
 beaten

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.259
 all by

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:47.480
 law

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:47.859
 enforcement

00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:53.500
 over 50

00:22:53.500 --> 00:22:54.259
 people were

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:54.759
 hospitalized

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:55.259
 on what has

00:22:55.259 --> 00:22:55.679
 become known

00:22:55.679 --> 00:22:56.099
 as Bloody

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:56.500
 Sunday

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:58.319
 by the

00:22:58.319 --> 00:22:58.679
 people

00:22:58.679 --> 00:22:59.659
 that were

00:22:59.659 --> 00:23:00.099
 supposed to

00:23:00.099 --> 00:23:00.439
 keep them

00:23:00.439 --> 00:23:00.740
 safe

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:04.599
 so two

00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:05.200
 weeks later

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:06.519
 when Martin

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:06.960
 Luther King

00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:07.220
 Jr.

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:07.680
 is on

00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:08.160
 the steps

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:08.420
 at the

00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:08.960
 Montgomery

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:10.420
 courthouse

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:12.579
 the moment

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.339
 felt heavy

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:15.740
 the path

00:23:15.740 --> 00:23:16.259
 ahead

00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:17.079
 looked dim

00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:18.579
 and the

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.000
 hope for

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.420
 change

00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:20.059
 seemed

00:23:20.059 --> 00:23:20.620
 small

00:23:20.620 --> 00:23:22.920
 where

00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:24.319
 did King

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:24.640
 go

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.720
 where

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:26.099
 could he

00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:26.319
 go

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:28.559
 he went

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:28.960
 to Psalm

00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:29.440
 13

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.120
 listen to

00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:31.559
 these words

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:31.799
 as they

00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:32.620
 come from

00:23:32.620 --> 00:23:33.240
 Dr.

00:23:33.320 --> 00:23:33.519
 Martin

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:33.720
 Luther

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:34.000
 King

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:34.299
 Jr.

00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:36.039
 I

00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:36.440
 come to

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.759
 you this

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.299
 afternoon

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:37.900
 however

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:38.420
 difficult

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:38.720
 the

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.019
 moment

00:23:39.019 --> 00:23:39.660
 however

00:23:39.660 --> 00:23:40.279
 frustrating

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.500
 the
