00:00:00.380 --> 00:00:04.860
 For a few moments this evening we'll turn to look at Psalm 107.

00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:10.120
 We're going to be looking over really the whole of this psalm.

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:14.019
 We can read at the beginning and at the very end of the psalm.

00:00:16.019 --> 00:00:19.339
 Verse 1 it says to us, O give thanks to the Lord,

00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:24.320
 for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.

00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:28.100
 And then the last verse, verse 43, it says,

00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:31.640
 Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things.

00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:36.400
 Let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:43.420
 So the psalm begins and ends with that theme of the steadfast love of the Lord.

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:48.500
 And in between we find a number of different circumstances that people find themselves in

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:53.820
 in order to consider the steadfast love of God that doesn't change.

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:59.460
 As time goes on, as the years go past and months and weeks,

00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.060
 one thing that becomes apparent more and more,

00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:04.739
 and we're reminded of more and more,

00:01:04.819 --> 00:01:07.780
 is the variety of people around us

00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:13.280
 and the variety of situations that people find themselves in.

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:19.120
 In one moment, there's a people who are celebrating and rejoicing.

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:23.320
 At this time of year, week by week pretty much,

00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:27.680
 you'll see around the town or in different parts of the country as well,

00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:32.900
 you'll see people getting married, special days, days of much joy and happiness,

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.299
 and you see that taking place.

00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:39.920
 And yet on the other hand, you'll see people on the other end of the spectrum

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.100
 who are going through such trials and difficulties,

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.240
 many that are so difficult for us to even try and contemplate for ourselves sorrow and sadness

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:53.079
 that seems to go beyond our imagination at times.

00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:59.260
 There's that variety of people and variety of situations that they find themselves in,

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:04.340
 the highs and the lows, and life is full of that.

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:11.340
 But one thing I'm sure maybe all of you or many of you at least experience in the midst of life

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:12.840
 and all that comes our way,

00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:17.140
 in all the changes and all the variety that we see around us,

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.219
 it's so good to know that there is something that doesn't change,

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.300
 that there is something that is always constant

00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:28.879
 in the midst of everything that goes on,

00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.259
 in every change, in everything that comes our way,

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.159
 that we can come to the Word of God

00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:40.900
 and see that what doesn't change is this steadfast love of God.

00:02:41.859 --> 00:02:44.039
 A love that doesn't change

00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.460
 because it is a love that's from the promise of God himself.

00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:51.099
 Promises that you see running throughout Scripture.

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.359
 Promises that God gives from beginning to end.

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.340
 Great and wonderful promises that we can claim and cling on to

00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:03.020
 in the midst of the highs and in the midst of the lows as well.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.000
 That God is a God for his people.

00:03:06.740 --> 00:03:09.280
 That he has made that covenant promise.

00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:13.820
 I will be your God and you will be my people.

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.760
 And in that we find a God who,

00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:18.260
 these words especially,

00:03:18.780 --> 00:03:21.600
 the steadfast love of the Lord.

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.460
 How precious these words are

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:28.439
 and how important these words are for us,

00:03:28.859 --> 00:03:32.500
 especially as we come to put our trust fully in the Lord.

00:03:33.079 --> 00:03:36.859
 To put our trust in him who is able to save.

00:03:37.699 --> 00:03:39.479
 But in our experience in life,

00:03:39.579 --> 00:03:40.979
 the Lord will bring us through

00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:44.299
 maybe many different experiences, situations,

00:03:44.699 --> 00:03:48.000
 in order for us to cry out for that help.

00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.159
 And to cry out to the Lord in that sense of,

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:51.900
 we need you.

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:54.639
 We need you in this situation, Lord.

00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.579
 We can't do without you.

00:03:57.460 --> 00:04:00.199
 And then as we come through that situation,

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.039
 as the psalm reminds us,

00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.319
 we are encouraged and challenged indeed

00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.099
 to remember the steadfast love of the Lord.

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.719
 And so as we look at this psalm together this evening,

00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.180
 we see a variety of people

00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:17.519
 in a variety of different situations.

00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.139
 But they all have something in common.

00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:23.959
 You see the verses that are repeated

00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:25.759
 throughout this psalm.

00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.680
 We'll look at it as we're going through.

00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:30.040
 But you see that in each situation

00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.920
 that the people find themselves in,

00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:35.079
 that the same words are repeated

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.639
 in every situation.

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.259
 And the same constant in it all

00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:43.360
 as well as the steadfast love of God.

00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:46.899
 So there are both variables and constants

00:04:46.899 --> 00:04:48.659
 in this psalm.

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.120
 And that's what we want to look at together

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:52.240
 this evening.

00:04:52.339 --> 00:04:54.519
 But before you come into these situations,

00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.479
 the opening verses of this psalm

00:04:57.479 --> 00:04:58.919
 make it clear to us,

00:04:58.979 --> 00:05:00.300
 verse 1 to verse 3,

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:03.379
 that this is indeed a psalm of thanksgiving,

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:06.319
 a psalm of thanking God

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:07.660
 in the midst of everything.

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.939
 O give thanks to the Lord,

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:13.060
 for He is good,

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:16.720
 for His steadfast love endures always.

00:05:16.840 --> 00:05:18.139
 The foundation of our thanks

00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:20.759
 is that steadfast love of God that endures.

00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:23.180
 But there's that challenge to us straight away.

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.840
 O give thanks to the Lord.

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:27.860
 And it's the same challenge

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:30.060
 that you find in each situation

00:05:30.060 --> 00:05:31.199
 that the people are in us

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.220
 will see as well.

00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:34.100
 But look at the vastness

00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:36.220
 of God's work here.

00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:40.240
 Look at where this steadfast love is seen.

00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.920
 When you look at these opening three verses,

00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:43.600
 in verse 3,

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.240
 gathered in from the lands,

00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:47.379
 from the east and from the west,

00:05:47.779 --> 00:05:50.079
 from the north and from the south.

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.459
 God's saving work is so vast.

00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:56.459
 This steadfast love goes out

00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:58.699
 through all ends of the earth,

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:01.740
 from north, south, east and west.

00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:05.779
 But you see also that God's work

00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:07.240
 is so necessary.

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.319
 In verse 2, it says,

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.980
 let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.459
 whom He has redeemed from trouble.

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:19.060
 The people of God are in trouble.

00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:20.079
 And we as a people,

00:06:20.159 --> 00:06:21.699
 we're always finding ourselves

00:06:21.699 --> 00:06:24.399
 in that troubled situation.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.680
 Different places we find ourselves in

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.859
 where we know we need the Lord.

00:06:29.979 --> 00:06:31.339
 We need that Redeemer.

00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:34.699
 We need that saving work of God

00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:37.259
 in the midst of our lives.

00:06:37.419 --> 00:06:39.000
 So we see how God's work

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.599
 is so necessary.

00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.260
 And we see there too,

00:06:42.340 --> 00:06:43.700
 as you go back to verse 1,

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.420
 how God's work is so enduring.

00:06:47.460 --> 00:06:50.200
 It's a never-ending love

00:06:50.200 --> 00:06:51.520
 that He shows to His people.

00:06:52.220 --> 00:06:53.820
 The Lord, He is good,

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.820
 for His steadfast love

00:06:55.820 --> 00:06:57.840
 endures forever.

00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:01.120
 It is an ongoing love,

00:07:01.320 --> 00:07:02.240
 steadfast love,

00:07:02.340 --> 00:07:04.280
 that is there for His people.

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.799
 So the psalm is a psalm of thanksgiving

00:07:06.799 --> 00:07:09.879
 that is so broad and wide in its nature,

00:07:10.679 --> 00:07:12.199
 in its distance,

00:07:12.359 --> 00:07:13.819
 north, south, east, and west,

00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:16.179
 in redeeming from the troubles

00:07:16.179 --> 00:07:17.719
 of this world

00:07:17.719 --> 00:07:20.619
 and in showing how enduring this love is.

00:07:20.679 --> 00:07:23.059
 It's a never-ending love.

00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:25.319
 And after these first three verses,

00:07:25.459 --> 00:07:26.479
 then you go in to see

00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:28.339
 four different sections

00:07:28.339 --> 00:07:30.919
 where it speaks about people

00:07:30.919 --> 00:07:32.079
 finding themselves

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.059
 in times of trouble.

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.599
 And how in the midst of time of trouble,

00:07:37.099 --> 00:07:37.859
 they're still able

00:07:37.859 --> 00:07:39.299
 to thank the Lord

00:07:39.299 --> 00:07:41.759
 for His steadfast love.

00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:44.039
 There's a German pastor

00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:45.519
 in the 1600s

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.979
 called Martin Rinkert.

00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:50.739
 And he lived and ministered

00:07:50.739 --> 00:07:52.599
 in a very difficult time

00:07:52.599 --> 00:07:54.359
 when there was war

00:07:54.359 --> 00:07:56.339
 and conflict going on.

00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:59.979
 And he was taking so many funerals

00:07:59.979 --> 00:08:01.039
 in his experience

00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:02.979
 that it was just never-ending.

00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:05.060
 He was burying thousands of people

00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:05.860
 within a year.

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.060
 And yet in the midst of it all,

00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:10.439
 he was still able to thank the Lord.

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.420
 And he wrote a hymn.

00:08:12.140 --> 00:08:13.200
 And the hymn's title was

00:08:13.200 --> 00:08:15.580
 Now Thank We All Our God.

00:08:16.020 --> 00:08:18.080
 And the first verse of it goes like this.

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:19.660
 Now thank we all, our God,

00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.980
 with heart and hands and voices,

00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:23.900
 whose wondrous things,

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.600
 who wondrous things has done,

00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.300
 in whom his world rejoices,

00:08:28.820 --> 00:08:30.540
 who from our mother's arms

00:08:30.540 --> 00:08:32.300
 has blessed us on our way

00:08:32.300 --> 00:08:34.759
 with countless gifts of love

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:37.220
 and still is ours today.

00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:39.279
 How he was able to see

00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.899
 in the midst of everything

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:41.960
 that was going on,

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:43.720
 the wonder of God

00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.820
 and the steadfast love of God

00:08:45.820 --> 00:08:47.779
 that was the constant companion

00:08:47.779 --> 00:08:50.120
 throughout all his days,

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.480
 even in the most difficult

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.340
 of experiences.

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:55.580
 And we maybe see that

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:57.220
 in our own lives as well.

00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.080
 As we go through

00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.980
 so many different experiences

00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:00.539
 in life,

00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:02.560
 we have that assurance

00:09:02.560 --> 00:09:03.940
 as we trust in the Lord

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:05.500
 of his steadfast love

00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:07.379
 that never changes.

00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:09.240
 So we're going to look at

00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.299
 the four different situations

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:12.759
 that we see people in.

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.379
 And what we find is

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:16.139
 that they have a common thread

00:09:16.139 --> 00:09:16.879
 in each one.

00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:18.840
 You see in each one

00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.159
 there is the problem,

00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:22.519
 a different problem

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:23.480
 in each part.

00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:25.919
 Then there is the prayer.

00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.340
 They cry to the Lord.

00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:29.799
 And then you see

00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:30.960
 that there is the provision

00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.639
 that the Lord makes.

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.620
 And then finally you see

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:34.519
 the praise

00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.679
 that they're encouraged to give.

00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:39.500
 And so the first thing you see

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.639
 is the problem.

00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:42.700
 And you see this

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.600
 in the different sections.

00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.860
 Verse 4 and 5,

00:09:45.860 --> 00:09:47.240
 you see the first one there.

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.000
 Some wandered in desert wastes,

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.779
 finding no way to a city

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:52.500
 to dwell in.

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:54.039
 Hungry and thirsty,

00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.659
 their soul fainted within them.

00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:57.899
 There were those

00:09:57.899 --> 00:10:00.159
 who have lost their way.

00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.560
 There are those

00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:02.440
 who have wandered

00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.620
 in desert wastes,

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:07.259
 finding no way to a city.

00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:08.860
 They were lost

00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:09.340
 and they were in

00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:11.100
 a desperate condition.

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:11.920
 And they were wondering

00:10:11.920 --> 00:10:12.580
 to themselves,

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.659
 how are they going to survive?

00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:16.120
 How are they going

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.360
 to get through this?

00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.339
 And the word they wandered,

00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:21.240
 the wanderers,

00:10:21.319 --> 00:10:22.719
 it means to stagger.

00:10:23.579 --> 00:10:24.419
 So it shows

00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:25.699
 there was this weakness.

00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:27.500
 They were alone,

00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.199
 they were weak,

00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:29.219
 they were nearly gone.

00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:31.360
 And so they are wandering,

00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:33.860
 lost in this world.

00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:35.879
 And it's a reminder

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.879
 to ourselves

00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.120
 of how we so often

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:39.220
 have found

00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:40.899
 or maybe are finding ourselves

00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:42.459
 in that situation as well.

00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:44.000
 We're living in a world

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.840
 but we can feel lost in it

00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.180
 without direction,

00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:47.879
 without knowing

00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.139
 just where are we going

00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:50.379
 in our lives.

00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:51.340
 Many of us have either

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:52.139
 been there

00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:53.900
 or maybe are even there

00:10:53.900 --> 00:10:54.540
 just now.

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:55.300
 We're wondering just

00:10:55.300 --> 00:10:57.600
 what is life about?

00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.019
 We're not finding direction.

00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:00.519
 We're not finding

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.759
 our way.

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:04.440
 It reminds us of the story

00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:05.639
 of the prodigal son

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.080
 in the New Testament

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:08.500
 who had left

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:09.340
 everything behind,

00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:10.060
 taken the money

00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:10.799
 from his father

00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:11.719
 and wanted to go

00:11:11.719 --> 00:11:13.379
 and live his own life.

00:11:13.939 --> 00:11:14.519
 And he thought

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:15.000
 this is it,

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:15.799
 my freedom.

00:11:16.439 --> 00:11:17.719
 And yet he finds himself

00:11:17.719 --> 00:11:18.719
 wandering around

00:11:18.719 --> 00:11:19.619
 in the waste,

00:11:20.239 --> 00:11:21.099
 eating the food

00:11:21.099 --> 00:11:23.099
 of pigs to survive

00:11:23.099 --> 00:11:24.039
 and wondering

00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:25.639
 how have I ended up here?

00:11:25.979 --> 00:11:26.919
 Is there no point

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:27.619
 and direction

00:11:27.619 --> 00:11:29.019
 in my life?

00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:30.859
 And so there's

00:11:30.859 --> 00:11:32.219
 the wanderers here.

00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:32.739
 We find

00:11:32.739 --> 00:11:34.379
 the first problem,

00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.039
 the people

00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:36.479
 who are just lost

00:11:36.479 --> 00:11:38.339
 and without direction.

00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:40.720
 The second one

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.440
 we see then

00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.600
 is in verse 10.

00:11:44.540 --> 00:11:45.360
 Another section

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.180
 begins there.

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:48.259
 Some sat in darkness

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:49.220
 and in the shadow

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:50.259
 of death,

00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.399
 prisoners in affliction

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.620
 and in irons,

00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:54.720
 for they had rebelled

00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.440
 against the words

00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:57.320
 of God

00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:58.220
 and spurned

00:11:58.220 --> 00:11:58.879
 the counsel

00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.720
 of the Most High.

00:12:02.180 --> 00:12:03.180
 They're prisoners.

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.800
 They're locked in.

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:06.060
 And again,

00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:07.680
 you see just that darkness

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.419
 that surrounds them here.

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:12.139
 And what you find is

00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:13.500
 it's because of

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.739
 what they've done themselves,

00:12:14.859 --> 00:12:16.099
 because of the way

00:12:16.099 --> 00:12:17.139
 that they have rebelled,

00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.019
 as verse 11 makes clear.

00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:20.559
 They rebelled against

00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:21.739
 the Word of God.

00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:23.199
 And again,

00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.479
 in our lives,

00:12:24.739 --> 00:12:25.379
 who of us

00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:26.719
 have rebelled

00:12:26.719 --> 00:12:28.179
 against the Word of God?

00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:28.639
 We've said,

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:28.919
 no,

00:12:29.099 --> 00:12:30.139
 I will not listen

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:31.519
 to what the Word of God is.

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.819
 I don't need that Word.

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:33.759
 It's not for me.

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.759
 And we find ourselves

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.399
 thinking we've got freedom,

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:39.179
 but all it means

00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:40.319
 is that we're in prison,

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:41.779
 that we're in darkness,

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:42.679
 that we're lost.

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:44.279
 And it's all

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:45.960
 of our own doing.

00:12:46.439 --> 00:12:47.240
 We feel that

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:48.960
 sense of being trapped.

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.759
 And so many things

00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:52.939
 can make us prisoners

00:12:52.939 --> 00:12:54.019
 in that sense

00:12:54.019 --> 00:12:54.799
 in this life.

00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:56.340
 Jealousy

00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:57.360
 and anger

00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.700
 and maybe hurt

00:12:58.700 --> 00:12:59.419
 in the past

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:01.179
 and unforgiving spirit,

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:02.699
 hatred towards

00:13:02.699 --> 00:13:03.759
 either people,

00:13:03.859 --> 00:13:04.799
 even the church.

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:06.399
 People turn against

00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:06.839
 the church.

00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:08.039
 They have their own ideas

00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.019
 and they spurn

00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:10.739
 the Word of God

00:13:10.739 --> 00:13:12.099
 and we'll be free

00:13:12.099 --> 00:13:12.620
 from that,

00:13:12.719 --> 00:13:13.739
 but you're never free.

00:13:15.319 --> 00:13:16.539
 We're still in darkness.

00:13:17.099 --> 00:13:18.319
 We're putting God away,

00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:19.339
 but we're only ending up

00:13:19.339 --> 00:13:21.239
 in darkness ourselves

00:13:21.239 --> 00:13:22.199
 more and more.

00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:22.859
 So we see there

00:13:22.859 --> 00:13:23.779
 another problem.

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:25.979
 And you see the third one

00:13:25.979 --> 00:13:27.459
 in verse 17 and 18.

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:28.539
 Again,

00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.120
 you see a new section there.

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.340
 Some were fools

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:33.320
 through their sinful ways

00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.179
 and because of their iniquities

00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:36.379
 suffered affliction.

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:38.679
 They loathed any kind of food

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:39.519
 and they grew near

00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.940
 to the gates of death.

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:44.860
 Sin is at the heart of it all

00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:46.539
 and we're reminded of that

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:47.440
 in this section.

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.060
 Fools through their sinful ways.

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.659
 The fool says in his heart

00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:55.379
 there is no God.

00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:57.919
 That's sin to say

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.460
 there is no God.

00:13:59.460 --> 00:14:00.080
 And from there

00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.060
 just leads to this

00:14:01.060 --> 00:14:02.560
 downward spiral

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:03.160
 and life

00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:04.060
 where sin just

00:14:04.060 --> 00:14:05.920
 takes over our life.

00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:07.620
 We think nothing of it.

00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.680
 Sin just becomes

00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:10.960
 a natural part

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.460
 of how we live.

00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:13.960
 But yet we are fools

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.240
 to go on living like that.

00:14:16.920 --> 00:14:20.300
 Fools through their sinful ways.

00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.820
 Then the fourth one you see,

00:14:22.940 --> 00:14:24.060
 then the fourth problem

00:14:24.059 --> 00:14:28.259
 is in verse 23 there.

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.759
 Another section begins.

00:14:31.319 --> 00:14:31.739
 Some.

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.739
 So it's always talking

00:14:32.739 --> 00:14:33.639
 about these some.

00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:34.879
 Different people

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:35.939
 in different situations.

00:14:35.939 --> 00:14:36.859
 Some went down

00:14:36.859 --> 00:14:37.939
 to the sea and ships

00:14:37.939 --> 00:14:38.839
 doing business

00:14:38.839 --> 00:14:40.399
 on the great waters.

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.259
 They saw the deeds

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:41.879
 of the Lord

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.099
 as wondrous works

00:14:43.099 --> 00:14:44.279
 in the deep.

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:45.739
 And so it goes on.

00:14:46.239 --> 00:14:47.299
 And in this experience,

00:14:47.599 --> 00:14:48.339
 they end up reeling

00:14:48.339 --> 00:14:49.199
 and staggering

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:50.319
 like drunken men

00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:51.300
 in this storm.

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:53.400
 They're overwhelmed

00:14:53.400 --> 00:14:54.360
 by life,

00:14:54.520 --> 00:14:55.280
 tossed about.

00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:57.320
 And it's just the way

00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:58.640
 life can sometimes

00:14:58.640 --> 00:15:00.620
 leave us feeling like that.

00:15:01.040 --> 00:15:01.600
 Overwhelmed

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.840
 in so many situations.

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.520
 That it's just like

00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:04.340
 a storm

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:05.640
 all around us

00:15:05.640 --> 00:15:06.240
 as we were thinking

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:07.860
 about this morning.

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:08.520
 Instead of having

00:15:08.520 --> 00:15:10.060
 that peace with God,

00:15:10.420 --> 00:15:11.080
 there's nothing

00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:11.940
 but trouble

00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:13.980
 coming our way.

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:16.740
 And without the Lord

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.220
 in our lives,

00:15:17.300 --> 00:15:17.960
 without Jesus

00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:18.899
 in our lives,

00:15:18.940 --> 00:15:20.560
 we're just floundering around.

00:15:20.700 --> 00:15:22.060
 We're being tossed around

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:23.539
 by the sea.

00:15:24.539 --> 00:15:25.440
 And so we see

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.240
 there's four different kinds

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.139
 of people here.

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.019
 Four different situations.

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.940
 Four different situations

00:15:32.940 --> 00:15:34.019
 that we maybe have had

00:15:34.019 --> 00:15:34.860
 in our own lives

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.800
 or have.

00:15:36.100 --> 00:15:37.080
 We're wanderers.

00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:37.840
 We're prisoners.

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:39.440
 We're the sick in sin.

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:41.200
 We're the overwhelmed

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.920
 by the storms of life.

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.100
 At the heart of them all

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:47.100
 is the sin

00:15:47.100 --> 00:15:48.659
 of our hearts.

00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.300
 The sin in this world

00:15:50.300 --> 00:15:51.180
 that leads us

00:15:51.180 --> 00:15:52.860
 down these paths

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:54.759
 away from God.

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:56.639
 There is the problem

00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:57.740
 for us

00:15:57.740 --> 00:15:58.279
 and indeed

00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:59.600
 for the world.

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:01.879
 But is there

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.120
 an answer?

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:05.379
 Well you see

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:06.840
 in all of these situations

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:08.159
 we find

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.279
 the answer.

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:11.039
 And the answer

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:12.560
 is prayer.

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.439
 For in every situation

00:16:15.439 --> 00:16:17.179
 you find here

00:16:17.179 --> 00:16:19.139
 the constant is

00:16:19.139 --> 00:16:20.779
 then they cried

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:22.039
 to the Lord

00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:23.119
 in their trouble

00:16:23.119 --> 00:16:25.059
 and he delivered them

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:26.659
 from their distress.

00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:28.759
 That verse

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.959
 is repeated

00:16:29.959 --> 00:16:31.819
 in each of these sections.

00:16:32.739 --> 00:16:33.259
 It's there

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:33.919
 in each one.

00:16:34.299 --> 00:16:35.000
 Then they cried

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:35.599
 to the Lord

00:16:35.599 --> 00:16:36.319
 in their trouble

00:16:36.319 --> 00:16:38.599
 and he delivered them

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.680
 from their distress.

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.040
 What is able

00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:43.720
 to help

00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:45.320
 in our situation

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:45.779
 today?

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:47.519
 We can cry out

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.159
 for help

00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:49.159
 to friends

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:50.279
 to family

00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:51.340
 even to strangers

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.920
 at times.

00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:52.620
 We can cry out

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.600
 to the world

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.580
 to help us

00:16:54.580 --> 00:16:55.259
 in all our different

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:55.800
 situations

00:16:55.800 --> 00:16:56.879
 to give us the answers

00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.500
 to all our different needs

00:16:58.500 --> 00:16:59.860
 but there is only one

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:01.100
 who can help.

00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:02.860
 And that answer

00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:04.039
 is given to us

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:04.700
 in this psalm

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.140
 in the midst

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:06.299
 of the variety

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:07.059
 of people

00:17:07.059 --> 00:17:08.120
 the variety

00:17:08.120 --> 00:17:09.240
 of different problems

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.580
 there is only one

00:17:10.580 --> 00:17:11.420
 answer

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.840
 and that is

00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:13.620
 to pray

00:17:13.620 --> 00:17:15.380
 to cry

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:16.200
 out

00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.319
 to the Lord.

00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:18.940
 Now you notice

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:20.080
 it doesn't give

00:17:20.080 --> 00:17:20.779
 the prayer

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:21.460
 to cry.

00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:23.240
 All it says

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.440
 is that they cried

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:25.460
 to the Lord

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:26.700
 in their trouble.

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:28.400
 It may not be

00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:28.860
 a long

00:17:28.860 --> 00:17:30.120
 eloquent prayer

00:17:30.120 --> 00:17:31.360
 it may not have

00:17:31.360 --> 00:17:32.140
 much substance

00:17:32.140 --> 00:17:32.980
 it may even just be

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:33.759
 a groan

00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.019
 but it's directed

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:36.820
 towards the Lord

00:17:36.820 --> 00:17:38.660
 towards the Lord

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:39.920
 who is able

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:41.059
 to help.

00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:42.600
 Prayer is that

00:17:42.600 --> 00:17:43.220
 opportunity

00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:44.160
 to speak

00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.340
 to God

00:17:45.340 --> 00:17:46.059
 who is able

00:17:46.059 --> 00:17:47.299
 to help.

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:48.440
 And again

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:48.920
 you have given

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.900
 so many reminders

00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:51.320
 through scripture

00:17:51.320 --> 00:17:52.539
 of what crying out

00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:53.440
 to the Lord

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:54.039
 means.

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.380
 You have that

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:56.180
 great account

00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:57.680
 in 1 Kings 18

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.100
 when Elijah

00:17:59.100 --> 00:17:59.759
 is there with

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.180
 Ahab

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:01.299
 and his people

00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:02.000
 his prophets

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.100
 Ahab's prophets

00:18:03.100 --> 00:18:04.559
 Elijah is just

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:05.240
 one man

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:06.799
 but he trusts

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.500
 in God

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.779
 and he puts

00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:09.360
 a challenge

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:10.259
 before Ahab

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:10.820
 and all his

00:18:10.820 --> 00:18:11.279
 prophets

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:11.720
 and say

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:12.340
 you cry

00:18:12.340 --> 00:18:13.799
 to your gods

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:15.140
 and I'll cry

00:18:15.140 --> 00:18:16.080
 to my God

00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:17.080
 and see

00:18:17.080 --> 00:18:17.779
 who sends

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.720
 down fire

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:20.740
 who is able

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:21.360
 to help

00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:22.799
 in that situation

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.799
 and Elijah

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.579
 as they're saying

00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:24.839
 to them

00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:25.839
 keep crying

00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:26.919
 maybe he's not

00:18:26.919 --> 00:18:27.619
 hearing you

00:18:27.619 --> 00:18:28.579
 maybe he's not

00:18:28.579 --> 00:18:29.279
 listening just now

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:29.859
 but he will

00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:30.339
 eventually

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:30.960
 and nothing

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:31.720
 comes

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.960
 because their

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.480
 gods

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.500
 are not able

00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:35.299
 to help

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:37.899
 but Elijah's

00:18:37.899 --> 00:18:38.240
 God

00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.079
 our God

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.099
 he sends

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:40.960
 down fire

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:42.779
 he hears

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.779
 and he answers

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:45.480
 and that is

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.000
 the God

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:46.980
 that we cry

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:47.720
 out to today

00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:48.500
 for ourselves

00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:49.420
 or for others

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:50.220
 the one

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:50.920
 who is able

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:52.539
 the same

00:18:52.539 --> 00:18:53.160
 as Paul

00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:54.259
 speaks about

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:54.920
 in Romans

00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:55.940
 chapter 10

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:57.680
 he reminds us

00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.240
 there that we

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.859
 are to call

00:18:58.859 --> 00:18:59.660
 on the name

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.200
 of the Lord

00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.619
 he says

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:00.920
 because

00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:02.240
 if you confess

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.859
 with your mouth

00:19:02.859 --> 00:19:03.420
 that Jesus

00:19:03.420 --> 00:19:04.000
 is Lord

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.559
 and believe

00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:05.240
 in your heart

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:06.160
 that God

00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:06.799
 raised him

00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.339
 from the dead

00:19:07.339 --> 00:19:07.799
 you will be

00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:08.299
 saved

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:09.559
 why

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.359
 because he

00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:10.740
 goes on

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:11.539
 in verse 13

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:12.099
 to say

00:19:12.099 --> 00:19:12.660
 for everyone

00:19:12.660 --> 00:19:13.779
 who calls

00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:14.200
 on the name

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:14.740
 of the Lord

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:15.660
 will be saved

00:19:15.660 --> 00:19:17.519
 if we are truly

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:18.759
 calling out

00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:19.340
 to God

00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:20.580
 if we are calling

00:19:20.580 --> 00:19:21.100
 out in our

00:19:21.100 --> 00:19:21.900
 desperation

00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:23.759
 that cry of faith

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:24.680
 they cried

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:25.779
 to the Lord

00:19:25.779 --> 00:19:27.100
 in their trouble

00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:29.160
 and he relieved

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:29.480
 them

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:30.880
 from their distress

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.240
 he is the one

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.620
 who is able

00:19:33.620 --> 00:19:34.960
 to help

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.259
 we don't always

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:38.160
 see our need

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.340
 at times

00:19:39.340 --> 00:19:40.460
 and there are

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:41.100
 many people

00:19:41.100 --> 00:19:42.460
 living in this world

00:19:42.460 --> 00:19:43.100
 and they're lost

00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:43.680
 but they don't

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.240
 know it

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:45.560
 because they feel

00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.019
 that everything

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:46.940
 is going fine

00:19:46.940 --> 00:19:47.899
 everything is fine

00:19:47.899 --> 00:19:48.940
 it'll be

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:50.779
 okay at the end

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:54.319
 you hear

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.200
 so many funerals

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:57.079
 now in the mainland

00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:57.740
 especially

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.619
 where they play

00:19:58.619 --> 00:19:59.259
 songs

00:19:59.259 --> 00:20:00.859
 and Frank Sinatra

00:20:00.859 --> 00:20:01.419
 as I did it

00:20:01.419 --> 00:20:01.940
 my way

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:03.799
 that's so common

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.240
 now

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.720
 but that is

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.379
 the song

00:20:06.379 --> 00:20:07.720
 that they sang

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:09.799
 I did it

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:10.399
 my way

00:20:10.399 --> 00:20:12.339
 but it's not

00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:12.779
 the song

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:13.539
 of salvation

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.039
 as we were

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:14.559
 thinking of

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:15.179
 this morning

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:16.640
 and it's not

00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.460
 the cry

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:18.000
 that we see

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:18.380
 we need

00:20:18.380 --> 00:20:18.880
 here

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.400
 the cry

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:20.820
 that we need

00:20:20.820 --> 00:20:21.160
 here

00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.039
 is to call

00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:22.980
 upon the name

00:20:22.980 --> 00:20:23.460
 of the Lord

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:24.019
 not do it

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:24.640
 our way

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.000
 but to seek

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.420
 to do it

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:27.140
 his way

00:20:27.140 --> 00:20:28.600
 that he would

00:20:28.600 --> 00:20:29.740
 direct us

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:33.060
 Thomas Aquinas

00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:34.720
 he once put it

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.380
 like this

00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:36.820
 bestow upon me

00:20:36.820 --> 00:20:37.299
 oh Lord

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:37.960
 my God

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:38.980
 understanding

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:39.339
 understanding

00:20:39.339 --> 00:20:39.980
 to know

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.160
 the

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:41.120
 diligence

00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:42.019
 to seek

00:20:42.019 --> 00:20:42.200
 the

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:42.720
 wisdom

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.539
 to find

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:43.799
 the

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:44.660
 and a

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.360
 faithfulness

00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:45.740
 that may

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.319
 finally

00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:47.460
 embrace

00:20:47.460 --> 00:20:47.759
 thee

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.680
 it's all

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.299
 about this

00:20:50.299 --> 00:20:50.779
 coming

00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:52.000
 to cry

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.940
 to the

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.319
 Lord

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.380
 in our

00:20:54.380 --> 00:20:54.839
 trouble

00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:56.700
 so we

00:20:56.700 --> 00:20:57.079
 have

00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:58.360
 the problem

00:20:58.360 --> 00:20:59.500
 there are

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:00.140
 four different

00:21:00.140 --> 00:21:00.819
 sets of

00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:01.440
 people and

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:02.140
 situations

00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:03.420
 but the

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:04.099
 prayer is

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:04.599
 there for

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:05.200
 us to see

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:05.559
 that the

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.000
 prayer

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.799
 is the

00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:07.460
 same in

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:07.720
 every

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.519
 situation

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.779
 and it's

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:10.119
 the same

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.640
 that's true

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:11.140
 for us

00:21:11.140 --> 00:21:11.559
 today

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.980
 we cry

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:13.680
 to the

00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:14.039
 Lord

00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.000
 in our

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:15.400
 trouble

00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:16.880
 we ask

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:17.299
 him

00:21:17.299 --> 00:21:18.279
 to help

00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:18.839
 for he

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:19.420
 is able

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:20.500
 to relieve

00:21:20.500 --> 00:21:20.940
 us

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:21.779
 in our

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.279
 distress

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:22.880
 to give

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.559
 comfort

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:24.460
 to give

00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:25.059
 hope

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:26.599
 that's the

00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:27.140
 third thing

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:27.460
 that we

00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:27.819
 see

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:28.680
 but we

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.000
 see as

00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:29.539
 they cry

00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:29.920
 to the

00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:30.200
 Lord

00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:30.940
 the Lord

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:31.200
 makes

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.759
 provision

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.700
 for them

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:34.160
 in each

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:34.839
 situation

00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:35.839
 we see

00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:36.159
 that they

00:21:36.159 --> 00:21:36.579
 could not

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.019
 help

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:37.679
 themselves

00:21:37.679 --> 00:21:38.159
 they could

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:38.379
 not

00:21:38.379 --> 00:21:39.099
 free

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:39.740
 themselves

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.000
 they

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:41.439
 needed

00:21:41.439 --> 00:21:42.179
 a

00:21:42.179 --> 00:21:42.639
 redeemer

00:21:42.639 --> 00:21:43.819
 they

00:21:43.819 --> 00:21:44.220
 needed

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:45.000
 someone

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.799
 to save

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:46.099
 them

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:46.859
 as it

00:21:46.859 --> 00:21:47.319
 says in

00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:47.899
 verse 2

00:21:47.899 --> 00:21:48.240
 let the

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.839
 redeemed

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:49.299
 of the

00:21:49.299 --> 00:21:49.639
 Lord

00:21:49.639 --> 00:21:50.399
 say so

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.779
 whom he

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:50.939
 has

00:21:50.939 --> 00:21:51.559
 redeemed

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:52.359
 from

00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:52.879
 trouble

00:21:52.879 --> 00:21:54.319
 he needs

00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:54.599
 to be

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:55.079
 the one

00:21:55.079 --> 00:21:55.859
 who saves

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:56.500
 we cannot

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:57.439
 do it

00:21:57.439 --> 00:21:58.119
 ourselves

00:21:58.119 --> 00:21:59.439
 and this

00:21:59.439 --> 00:21:59.819
 is the

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:00.480
 story of

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:00.980
 scripture

00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:01.720
 from beginning

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.859
 to end

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:03.939
 that God

00:22:03.939 --> 00:22:04.299
 is a

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:04.859
 redeeming

00:22:04.859 --> 00:22:05.159
 God

00:22:05.159 --> 00:22:05.480
 God

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.259
 is a

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.700
 saving

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:07.240
 God

00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.360
 you see

00:22:08.360 --> 00:22:08.579
 it

00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:09.519
 when you

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:09.880
 go back

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.120
 to the

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:10.360
 Old

00:22:10.360 --> 00:22:10.839
 Testament

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:11.319
 how he

00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:11.819
 redeemed

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:12.099
 his

00:22:12.099 --> 00:22:12.500
 people

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:12.779
 from

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.360
 slavery

00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:13.599
 in

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:14.059
 Egypt

00:22:14.059 --> 00:22:15.220
 even as

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:15.400
 we were

00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:15.720
 looking at

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.259
 Isaiah

00:22:16.259 --> 00:22:17.460
 this morning

00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:17.980
 it was

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.620
 the Lord

00:22:18.620 --> 00:22:19.319
 that redeemed

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:19.620
 them

00:22:19.620 --> 00:22:20.140
 when they

00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:20.640
 were taken

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:21.000
 into

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:21.559
 captivity

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.640
 you see

00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:22.960
 he does

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:23.319
 it for

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:23.839
 nations

00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:24.620
 of people

00:22:24.620 --> 00:22:25.720
 but you

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:26.339
 also see

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.640
 that he

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:27.200
 does for

00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:27.940
 individuals

00:22:27.940 --> 00:22:28.860
 as well

00:22:28.860 --> 00:22:29.539
 you think

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:29.740
 of the

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:30.059
 beautiful

00:22:30.059 --> 00:22:30.700
 story

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:31.380
 of Ruth

00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:32.980
 and how

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.220
 she

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:25.399
 of safety

00:23:25.399 --> 00:23:26.339
 after they

00:23:26.339 --> 00:23:26.959
 had cried

00:23:26.959 --> 00:23:27.699

00:23:33.919 --> 00:23:34.599
 of death

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:35.759

 their bonds

00:23:36.659 --> 00:23:37.179
 apart

00:23:37.179 --> 00:23:37.859

 them from

00:23:51.740 --> 00:23:52.599

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.519
 been fools

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:55.519
 they had

00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:56.319
 been sick

00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:56.720
 in their

00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.139
 sin

 situation

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:14.720
 you see

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.439
 a different

00:24:15.439 --> 00:24:16.019
 kind of

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.460
 peace

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:17.139
 being brought

00:24:17.139 --> 00:24:18.079
 but it's

00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:18.519
 always

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.839
 he has

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.299
 made it

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:20.799
 possible

00:24:20.799 --> 00:24:22.000
 he has

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.500

 brought them

00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:25.139
 out

00:24:25.139 --> 00:24:25.519
 he has

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.039
 sent out

00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:26.539
 his word

00:24:26.539 --> 00:24:26.959
 and healed

00:24:26.959 --> 00:24:27.159
 them

00:24:27.159 --> 00:24:27.799
 he has

00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:28.279
 made the

00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:28.899
 storm

00:24:28.899 --> 00:24:29.699
 to be

00:24:29.699 --> 00:24:30.220
 still

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:32.179
 he is

00:24:32.179 --> 00:24:32.740
 the one

00:24:32.740 --> 00:24:33.559
 who is

00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:33.939
 able

00:24:33.939 --> 00:24:35.000
 he is

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.599
 the one

00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:36.299
 who has

00:24:36.299 --> 00:24:36.539
 made

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:37.119
 provision

00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:38.199
 for his

00:24:38.199 --> 00:24:38.799
 people

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:40.679
 and again

00:24:40.679 --> 00:24:41.519
 that is

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.099
 true for

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:42.859
 us today

00:24:42.859 --> 00:24:43.919
 as we

00:24:43.919 --> 00:24:44.759
 cry out

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:45.159
 to the

00:24:45.159 --> 00:24:45.439
 Lord

00:24:45.439 --> 00:24:45.759
 now

00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.259
 trouble

00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:46.799
 what

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.240
 provision

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:47.559
 has he

00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:47.779
 made

00:24:47.779 --> 00:24:48.399
 for us

00:24:48.399 --> 00:24:49.139
 for all

00:24:49.139 --> 00:24:49.419
 who are

00:24:49.419 --> 00:24:49.939
 lost in

00:24:49.939 --> 00:24:50.419
 this world

00:24:50.419 --> 00:24:50.819
 for all

00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:51.079
 who are

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.919
 caught up

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.160
 in the

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:52.580
 sin

00:24:52.580 --> 00:24:53.039
 of this

00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:53.320
 world

00:24:53.320 --> 00:24:53.640
 and maybe

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:53.960
 think

00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:54.180
 there is

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:54.460
 no

00:24:54.460 --> 00:24:55.320
 freedom

00:24:55.320 --> 00:24:55.940
 for me

00:24:55.940 --> 00:24:56.200
 in the

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:56.440
 midst

00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:56.840
 of my

00:24:56.840 --> 00:24:57.180
 sin

00:24:57.180 --> 00:24:57.420
 there is

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:58.000
 no hope

00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:58.539
 for me

00:24:58.539 --> 00:24:59.240
 in the

00:24:59.240 --> 00:24:59.500
 midst

00:24:59.500 --> 00:24:59.920
 of my

00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:00.340
 sin

00:25:00.340 --> 00:25:01.500
 what has

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:01.940
 he done

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:03.660
 he has

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:04.279
 provided

00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:05.600
 a redeemer

00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:06.920

 redeemer

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:08.580
 who is

00:25:08.580 --> 00:25:09.360
 his own

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:10.200
 son

 Jesus

00:25:11.060 --> 00:25:11.759

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.600
 there is

00:25:14.600 --> 00:25:15.039
 only

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.080
 one

00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:17.600

 about

00:30:09.020 --> 00:30:09.700
 wisdom

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:11.680
 what is

00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:11.920
 it

00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:13.080
 to be

00:30:13.080 --> 00:30:13.680
 wise

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:15.500
 the world

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:16.020
 will tell

00:30:16.020 --> 00:30:16.480
 us so

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:17.320
 many things

00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:18.220
 that are

00:30:18.220 --> 00:30:18.860
 wise

00:30:18.860 --> 00:30:19.720
 according

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:20.240
 to them

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.680
 but according

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.400
 to the word

00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:24.080
 of god

00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:25.300
 wisdom's

00:30:25.300 --> 00:30:25.680
 beginning

00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:26.660
 is the

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:27.200
 fear of

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.680
 the lord

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.299
 that doesn't

00:30:29.299 --> 00:30:29.620
 mean just

00:30:29.620 --> 00:30:29.920
 to run

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.160
 away

00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:30.799
 scared

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.240
 from the

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:31.519
 lord

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.560
 it

00:30:32.560 --> 00:30:32.980
 means

00:30:32.980 --> 00:30:33.660
 to

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:34.299
 consider

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:35.420
 the lord

00:30:35.420 --> 00:30:36.660
 to look

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.539
 to the

00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:37.880
 lord

00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:38.759
 to be in

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:39.180
 awe

00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:39.980
 of the

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:40.240
 lord

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:40.539
 it's the

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:40.860
 one

00:30:40.860 --> 00:30:41.320
 who is

00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:41.759
 god

00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:42.759
 over all

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:43.100
 and so

00:30:43.100 --> 00:30:43.960
 it says

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.220
 here

00:30:44.220 --> 00:30:44.580
 whoever

00:30:44.580 --> 00:30:45.519
 is wise

00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:46.500
 let him

00:30:46.500 --> 00:30:47.019
 attend

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:47.779
 to these

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.320
 things

00:30:48.320 --> 00:30:49.580
 that these

00:30:49.580 --> 00:30:50.519
 are important

00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:51.539
 matters

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:53.299
 these are

00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:53.859
 important

00:30:53.859 --> 00:30:54.579
 things

00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:55.420
 in our

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:55.720
 own

00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:56.700
 experience

00:30:56.700 --> 00:30:58.059
 so that

00:30:58.059 --> 00:30:58.420
 whatever

00:30:58.420 --> 00:30:59.359
 situation

00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:00.559
 we find

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:01.159
 ourselves

00:31:01.159 --> 00:31:01.639
 in

00:31:01.639 --> 00:31:03.059
 whether we

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:03.379
 are the

00:31:03.379 --> 00:31:04.139
 wanderers

00:31:04.139 --> 00:31:05.240
 whether we

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:05.700
 are the

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:06.319
 prisoners

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:07.379
 whether we

00:31:07.379 --> 00:31:07.799
 are those

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.099
 who are

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.639
 sick

00:31:08.639 --> 00:31:09.279
 in sin

00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:10.039
 whether we

00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:10.440
 are those

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:10.639
 who are

00:31:10.639 --> 00:31:11.299
 being tossed

00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:11.980
 around in

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:12.619
 the storms

00:31:12.619 --> 00:31:13.059
 of this

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:13.519
 life

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:14.399
 let us

00:31:14.399 --> 00:31:14.980
 consider

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.379
 these

00:31:15.379 --> 00:31:15.859
 things

00:31:15.859 --> 00:31:17.240
 and let

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:17.879
 us see

00:31:17.879 --> 00:31:18.659
 where our

00:31:18.659 --> 00:31:19.240
 help is

00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:19.680
 found

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:20.920
 it is

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:21.480
 found in

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:22.299
 crying out

00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:22.740
 to the

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.039
 lord

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:24.039
 who is

00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:24.460
 able

00:31:24.460 --> 00:31:25.559
 to relieve

00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:25.960
 us

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.559
 from our

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:26.980
 troubles

00:31:26.980 --> 00:31:28.180
 to bring

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.480
 us

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:29.079
 out

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:30.380
 so it

00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:30.640
 says

00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:31.079
 let them

00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:32.220
 attend

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:33.460

00:31:33.460 --> 00:31:33.960
 things

00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:34.819
 but then

00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:35.880
 it concludes

00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:37.039
 let them

00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.720
 consider

00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:38.880
 the steadfast

00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:39.400
 love

00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:40.339
 of the

00:31:40.339 --> 00:31:40.700
 lord

00:31:40.700 --> 00:31:42.180
 look

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:43.380
 on these

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:43.940
 things
