00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.660
 Good morning, everyone. Open up your Bibles, your copy of God's Word to 1 Samuel, chapter 16.

00:00:09.820 --> 00:00:25.120
! Today, if you're here for the first time or haven't been back in a while, like perfect timing, we're about to start a new series that will last anywhere from six to seven weeks on the life of King David.

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:40.039
 And I've been very excited about this. David is one of my favorite Bible characters, always kind of has been one of the most intriguing men that we read about in the Scripture, for sure.

00:00:41.299 --> 00:00:49.000
 His character in the Scripture is very, very worth our time looking at and studying and learning from.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:01:00.159
 So, oddly enough, I mean, I'm not surprised to hear this, but the life of David is mentioned or recorded roughly 66 chapters of the Divine Word.

00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:07.280
 That's more than Abraham, more than Moses, more than Joseph, more than Isaiah, a lot.

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:15.700
 He's also mentioned about 59 times just in the New Testament alone, so a huge, daunting thing.

00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:27.640
 So, God definitely, without question, when God brings something back up over and over and over, He wants us to learn from His providential interactions with David.

00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:31.960
 And the things that He accomplished through him were immense.

00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:38.500
 Just to give you a really quick rundown, this is not even half of what you could say,

00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:47.400
 but He united all the twelve tribes of Israel, and He brought them together into a single kingdom, which is no easy task.

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.560
 He conquered Jerusalem, and He made Jerusalem the capital of Israel's political and spiritual life.

00:01:55.140 --> 00:02:03.719
 He defeated all of Israel's enemies, namely, particularly the Philistines, and protected their borders from these pagan enemies,

00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:10.960
 and actually became the overlord of a lot of those enemies, where they had to pay tribute and obey what David said.

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.180
 He expanded the borders of the nation.

00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.340
 He annexed the coastal regions.

00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:22.900
 He also wrote the Psalms, as we're aware, about 73 of them, and He sang them.

00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:32.879
 And then, of course, who can forget the epic, legendary showdown between David and Goliath,

00:02:32.920 --> 00:02:41.219
 something that most of us learn about when we were children, teaching us about faith and bravery and trust in God.

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:47.640
 Even now, one of my girls' favorite Bible stories is David and Goliath, and that's when we bust out the foam swords,

00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:54.079
 and they attack me, and they call me Goliath every time, so I've had my head cut off quite a few times lately.

00:02:55.099 --> 00:02:58.279
 So, one day I'll get to be David, maybe.

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:03.879
 But more importantly, I guess one of the biggest things is the Davidic covenant.

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:11.439
 2 Samuel 7, God promised to give David an everlasting house,

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:16.019
 that one of his descendants would sit on the throne and reign forever.

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:19.280
 And this would be, as we know, our Lord Jesus.

00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:21.960
 So, much to say about David.

00:03:22.140 --> 00:03:22.880
 So, just pray quickly.

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:29.280
 Lord, help me to, in some small way, be used today by pointing to your Word,

00:03:29.420 --> 00:03:33.060
 and that your Word would have its desired effect upon our hearts,

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:38.240
 that your Holy Spirit would apply its truth to our souls,

00:03:39.060 --> 00:03:40.420
 and it would work.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.260
 You'd be the spiritual surgeon upon our souls and our hearts today.

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:47.759
 I just ask that in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:55.979
 So, really quick, just some of the context in which we're going to land today in 1 Samuel 16.

00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:58.120
 You have a struggling nation.

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:00.359
 The nation of Israel is not doing well.

00:04:00.459 --> 00:04:02.539
 They're marked by a lot of internal strife,

00:04:03.139 --> 00:04:07.159
 this loose confederation of tribes seeking to unify,

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.620
 working together as a single nation,

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.699
 a lot of them looking out for their own interests,

00:04:11.699 --> 00:04:15.099
 and also just concerned about the other tribes' ambitions.

00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:21.199
 A faulty priesthood was also there, given into immorality and corruption,

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.339
 characterized by Eli and his sons.

00:04:24.339 --> 00:04:28.419
 And going on from there, as we'll look at more next week,

00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:32.119
 instead of looking to God for leadership and for God to help them,

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:35.819
 they wanted to have a king like the pagan nations around them.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.439
 And Saul was that first king.

00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.979
 And with some initial success, as we all know the story,

00:04:42.059 --> 00:04:46.120
 eventually he turned from God and began to not obey God,

00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.139
 and despite giving numerous chances to repent,

00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:51.860
 never fully came around.

00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.480
 And we'll look at that later on next week.

00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.180
 But earlier in chapter 13 and 15,

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.160
 Saul was told by the prophet Samuel that his dynasty,

00:05:02.340 --> 00:05:04.100
 his kingdom was going to be torn from him.

00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:06.000
 Like, that's it.

00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:07.000
 God's done with you.

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:09.420
 Very scary words.

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.019
 And that his kingdom would be given to a neighbor.

00:05:12.019 --> 00:05:16.620
 And that neighbor would be David, a son of Jesse of Bethlehem.

00:05:17.219 --> 00:05:21.060
 So today, this is the first text that we see David's entrance

00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:24.219
 onto the scene of God's redemptive story.

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:33.000
 So 1 Samuel 16, we're just going to, like, go through it piece by piece and unpack it.

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:34.599
 So just kind of walking through the text.

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:37.779
 Verse 1, chapter 16.

00:05:37.779 --> 00:05:39.639
 The Lord said to Samuel,

00:05:39.979 --> 00:05:42.839
 How long will you grieve over Saul,

00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.719
 since I have rejected him from being the king over Israel?

00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.039
 Fill your horn with oil and go.

00:05:50.739 --> 00:05:53.539
 I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite,

00:05:54.119 --> 00:05:57.299
 for I have provided myself a king among his sons.

00:05:58.299 --> 00:06:00.039
 And Samuel said, How can I go?

00:06:00.500 --> 00:06:03.579
 If Saul hears it, he will kill me.

00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:07.620
 And the Lord said, Take a heifer with you and say,

00:06:07.719 --> 00:06:09.879
 I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.

00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.459
 And invite Jesse to sacrifice.

00:06:13.300 --> 00:06:15.300
 And I will show you what you shall do.

00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.379
 And you shall anoint for me him who I have declared to you.

00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:24.839
 Samuel did what the Lord commanded and came to Bethlehem.

00:06:25.299 --> 00:06:27.919
 The elders of the city came out to meet him trembling

00:06:27.919 --> 00:06:30.519
 and said, Do you come peacefully?

00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.680
 And he said, Peacefully.

00:06:32.899 --> 00:06:35.519
 I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.

00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.859
 Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.

00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.979
 And he consecrated Jesse and his sons

00:06:41.979 --> 00:06:44.519
 and invited them to the sacrifice.

00:06:45.799 --> 00:06:47.979
 Truly quickly, just walking through this text,

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:51.439
 you immediately catch Samuel grieving.

00:06:51.699 --> 00:06:53.519
 It says, so he's extremely saddened

00:06:54.299 --> 00:06:58.180
 over the sin and failures of King Saul.

00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:02.100
 Some people think that he's like whining and complaining.

00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:03.819
 I don't think that's really the case at all.

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.740
 I think that he spent so much time investing in this all,

00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:11.420
 leading him, counseling him,

00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:13.460
 days praying for him,

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.480
 serving alongside him,

00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.139
 really hoping that he would be the king that the nation needed.

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:19.600
 And he failed.

00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.259
 Miserably failed.

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:24.460
 Despite all that Samuel had done to help him,

00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:26.920
 he was rejected by God.

00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.180
 And so Samuel was grieving over this,

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.160
 just wondering what God is going to do next.

00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:34.319
 So some of us have been there before.

00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:34.660
 Have you?

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:35.280
 I have.

00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:37.960
 Just spent countless hours loving, serving,

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:39.620
 counseling, discipling someone,

00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:43.500
 and then kind of have that person reject those things

00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:45.439
 that you've invested into them.

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.220
 So it's painful.

00:07:48.340 --> 00:07:50.120
 So he's wondering what is God going to do?

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.600
 And so God comes to his servants with a new direction,

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:54.480
 new orders.

00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:56.220
 Here's what you're going to do.

00:07:56.259 --> 00:07:59.959
 You're going to find and anoint a new king over the nation.

00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.819
 And that new king would be Jesse,

00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:02.959
 as we see in our text,

00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.160
 a descendant of Judah and Tamar,

00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.920
 who was also a grandson of Ruth and Boaz,

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:14.080
 Bethlehem and Judah,

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:16.439
 Bethlehem Ephratah and Micah,

00:08:16.700 --> 00:08:18.960
 as Cody read earlier specifically.

00:08:20.020 --> 00:08:21.660
 And Samuel, we see is afraid.

00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:24.180
 He's like, well, if Saul hears about this out of jealousy,

00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:25.400
 he may just kill me.

00:08:25.760 --> 00:08:28.340
 Like if he knows I'm back to anoint a new king,

00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:30.280
 kind of behind his back.

00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:32.439
 But God encourages him to go,

00:08:32.539 --> 00:08:34.139
 says you're going to offer a sacrifice.

00:08:35.220 --> 00:08:36.500
 And so that's what he did.

00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:38.220
 He went to offer a sacrifice.

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:40.000
 And he shows up at the gates,

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.079
 and they're scared because he's the prophet.

00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:44.159
 And they're like, what have we done wrong?

00:08:44.220 --> 00:08:45.179
 Is somebody about to die?

00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:46.939
 And so he's like, no, no, no.

00:08:46.939 --> 00:08:48.000
 I'll come peacefully.

00:08:48.620 --> 00:08:50.379
 I'll come to offer a sacrifice.

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.199
 And he goes.

00:08:52.100 --> 00:08:55.379
 And he doesn't hide his intention in being there.

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:58.179
 He's walking in obedience to God.

00:08:58.179 --> 00:09:01.099
 And so very often, really small lesson here,

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:02.259
 whenever we're overwhelmed,

00:09:02.459 --> 00:09:05.239
 feeling just stressed out,

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.279
 can't see what to do next,

00:09:10.699 --> 00:09:13.419
 usually it's just taking the very simple step

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:14.419
 of faithful obedience,

00:09:14.599 --> 00:09:15.679
 like the very next thing.

00:09:16.359 --> 00:09:17.259
 Do the next thing.

00:09:17.339 --> 00:09:19.899
 Be faithful to God and what he tells you to do.

00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:22.019
 And this is what Samuel is doing.

00:09:22.099 --> 00:09:23.259
 He goes without question.

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:24.319
 He obeys God.

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:26.719
 He does all that God requires.

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.620
 And so that's what it says.

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:31.340
 He obeyed and came to Bethlehem.

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:33.480
 And so he got there.

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:34.759
 He's like, hey, consecrate yourselves.

00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:36.920
 Get yourselves ready for the sacrifice,

00:09:37.379 --> 00:09:40.160
 which more than likely meant washing themselves,

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.000
 perhaps their clothes for the sacrifice.

00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:46.080
 And then we get to the next section of this,

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.860
 and we see Samuel scoping out the sons of Jesse,

00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.320
 just wondering who it is.

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.500
 I know it's one of these guys,

00:09:54.640 --> 00:09:55.760
 but I don't know who it is.

00:09:57.020 --> 00:10:00.040
 And God's response to him,

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:00.420
 I think,

00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:02.780
 is one of the most underrated verses in the Scripture.

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.080
 But look at verse 6.

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.860
 When they came,

00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:10.960
 he looked at Elab and thought,

00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:13.879
 surely the Lord's anointed is before him.

00:10:14.540 --> 00:10:15.960
 But the Lord said to Samuel,

00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:18.860
 do not look on his outward appearance

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:21.259
 or on the height of his stature,

00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:23.540
 because I have rejected him.

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:25.580
 For the Lord sees,

00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.060
 not as man sees.

00:10:27.740 --> 00:10:29.700
 Man looks on the outward appearance,

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:31.879
 but the Lord looks on the heart.

00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.399
 Then Jesus called Abinadab

00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.100
 and made him pass before Samuel.

00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.860
 And he said,

00:10:39.939 --> 00:10:41.539
 neither has the Lord chosen this one.

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:44.759
 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by.

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.460
 And he said,

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:49.039
 neither has the Lord chosen this one.

00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.299
 And Jesse made seven of his sons

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:53.519
 pass before Samuel.

00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:55.620
 And Samuel said to Jesse,

00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:58.120
 the Lord has not chosen these.

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.299
 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by.

00:11:01.299 --> 00:11:01.979
 And he said,

00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:03.579
 neither has the Lord chosen this one.

00:11:04.419 --> 00:11:06.339
 And Jesse made the seven sons

00:11:06.339 --> 00:11:07.359
 pass before Samuel.

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.459
 He has not chosen any of these.

00:11:11.459 --> 00:11:12.779
 And so here's what's going on.

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:14.039
 Like, you know,

00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:14.759
 Jesse thinks,

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:16.779
 surely it's got to be one of my bigger boys,

00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.219
 one of my best looking boys.

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:20.279
 He just makes him kind of walk by.

00:11:20.479 --> 00:11:21.459
 Samuel and Samuel is going,

00:11:22.579 --> 00:11:22.899
 nope.

00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:25.299
 The Lord has rejected him.

00:11:25.939 --> 00:11:27.559
 The Lord has not chosen him.

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.179
 So what's going on here

00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:31.859
 is Samuel is being fooled

00:11:31.859 --> 00:11:34.019
 into thinking that God will choose

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:34.500
 the biggest,

00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:35.039
 strongest,

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:35.959
 best looking,

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.019
 pretty much in the same way

00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:38.979
 that Saul was chosen.

00:11:39.099 --> 00:11:39.739
 If you remember,

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:41.739
 in 1 Samuel 9,

00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:42.399
 1 and 2,

00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.059
 Saul came from a wealthy family.

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:46.799
 It says that Saul was a handsome man.

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.239
 There was not a man among the people

00:11:49.239 --> 00:11:50.959
 more handsome than he,

00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.800
 that his shoulders up,

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:55.800
 from his shoulders upward,

00:11:55.900 --> 00:11:57.800
 he was taller than any of the other people.

00:11:58.379 --> 00:12:01.259
 So Saul was a very physically impressive man.

00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:03.519
 And so Samuel's already thinking

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.080
 that it's got to be similar.

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:07.700
 And God's saying no.

00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:10.060
 Because despite all the material

00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:11.980
 and physical advantages Saul had,

00:12:12.019 --> 00:12:13.879
 we all see that it afforded him

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.139
 no benefit at all

00:12:15.139 --> 00:12:17.480
 because his heart was full of vanity,

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:18.560
 pride,

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.300
 and sin

00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:22.320
 did not help.

00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:23.460
 God says to him,

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:24.360
 verse 7,

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.700
 underline it in your Bible,

00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:28.240
 memorize it,

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.740
 do not look on his outward height

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.240
 or stature

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.740
 because the Lord has rejected him.

00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:35.519
 For the Lord sees,

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:37.240
 not as man sees.

00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:39.779
 Man looks on the outward appearance,

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:41.800
 but the Lord looks on the heart.

00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.120
 What a remarkable verse.

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.279
 More on this later,

00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:49.019
 but simply,

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:50.740
 what he's trying to say is,

00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.299
 man wrongfully judges

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:53.259
 in ways others

00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:55.700
 created in God's image

00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:57.200
 merely by the outward appearance.

00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:59.620
 But God is more focused

00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:00.519
 on the heart,

00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.860
 the inner person.

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:05.179
 And so basically,

00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:05.980
 Jesse's like,

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.580
 I mean,

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:06.960
 excuse me,

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:07.360
 Samuel,

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:07.580
 look,

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.000
 is that it?

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:09.279
 Is that all your sons?

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.460
 So after inspecting them,

00:13:12.539 --> 00:13:13.360
 doesn't find one.

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:14.379
 As we get to verse 11,

00:13:14.379 --> 00:13:17.059
 then Samuel said to Jesse,

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:19.200
 are all your sons here?

00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:21.000
 And he said,

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:22.939
 there remains yet the youngest,

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:23.879
 but behold,

00:13:23.939 --> 00:13:24.939
 he is keeping the sheep.

00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:27.039
 And Samuel said to Jesse,

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:28.340
 send and get him,

00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:30.740
 for we will not sit down

00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:31.700
 until he comes here.

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:34.200
 And he sent and brought him in.

00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:36.559
 Now he was ruddy

00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:38.240
 and had beautiful eyes

00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:38.980
 and was handsome.

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:40.779
 And the Lord said,

00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:41.460
 arise,

00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:42.279
 anoint him,

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:44.159
 for this is he.

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:46.779
 Then Samuel took the horn of oil

00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:47.620
 and anointed him

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:48.740
 in the midst of his brothers.

00:13:49.620 --> 00:13:51.000
 And the spirit of the Lord

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.300
 rushed upon David

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:53.940
 from that day forward.

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:56.120
 And Samuel rose up

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.740
 and went to Ramah.

00:13:59.180 --> 00:14:00.259
 Just one more verse.

00:14:00.980 --> 00:14:01.860
 Now the spirit of the Lord

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:03.379
 departed from Saul

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:05.379
 and a harmful spirit

00:14:05.379 --> 00:14:06.279
 from the Lord

00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:07.840
 tormented him.

00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.780
 So we see in verse 11,

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.600
 he basically is just saying,

00:14:12.660 --> 00:14:13.280
 hey, is this it?

00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:14.420
 Is there any other sons

00:14:14.420 --> 00:14:15.220
 that you have?

00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:18.120
 And Jesse may have just been

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.320
 sort of downplaying it

00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.379
 because parents

00:14:20.379 --> 00:14:22.879
 sinfully can sometimes

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.560
 have favorites

00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:24.980
 and maybe David wasn't his.

00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:25.660
 We don't know.

00:14:26.460 --> 00:14:26.740
 But he's like,

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.060
 yeah, there's another one.

00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:29.280
 I forgot to mention him.

00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:32.639
 He's keeping the sheep.

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.400
 No big deal.

00:14:33.540 --> 00:14:34.000
 And Samuel's like,

00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:35.000
 well, go get them then.

00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:36.900
 We'll stand right here

00:14:36.899 --> 00:14:37.919
 and won't get started

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.059
 until he shows up.

00:14:39.659 --> 00:14:40.379
 Go fetch him.

00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:41.620
 So he does that.

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:43.340
 So we get a brief

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:44.699
 physical description

00:14:44.699 --> 00:14:45.399
 of David

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:46.720
 when he arrives on the scene.

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:48.059
 And God says,

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:49.199
 this is the one

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:50.639
 that I have chosen.

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:53.379
 And you see in verse 13,

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.199
 immediately,

00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.620
 Samuel anoints David

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:58.539
 with oil,

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.379
 which is symbolic

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:01.799
 of the Holy Spirit,

00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.059
 who descends on him.

00:15:04.059 --> 00:15:05.039
 It says,

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.159
 the Spirit of the Lord

00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:06.719
 rushed,

00:15:06.859 --> 00:15:07.259
 or meaning,

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:09.359
 it came down mightily

00:15:09.359 --> 00:15:10.359
 and effectively

00:15:10.359 --> 00:15:11.399
 upon David.

00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:13.419
 So in the Old Testament,

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:14.779
 as most of us know,

00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.019
 the Spirit came

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:17.519
 and rested on

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.859
 chosen individuals

00:15:18.859 --> 00:15:20.740
 that God empowered

00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:22.199
 to carry out

00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:23.339
 the specific things

00:15:23.339 --> 00:15:24.339
 He gave them to do.

00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.159
 And it's no different

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.899
 than David.

00:15:26.899 --> 00:15:27.600
 And notice that

00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:28.959
 the Spirit left Saul.

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:31.699
 And very,

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:32.699
 very scary.

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:34.360
 So,

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:36.039
 he had this anointing

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:37.100
 before his whole family.

00:15:37.259 --> 00:15:38.519
 There was three more

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.419
 anointings that came.

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.480
 One before the family,

00:15:41.319 --> 00:15:42.620
 one before the tribe

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:43.059
 of Judah,

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:44.659
 and then another anointing

00:15:44.659 --> 00:15:45.879
 as the whole nation's

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.879
 king that came later.

00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:48.519
 But in verse 14,

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:48.779
 yeah,

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.860
 it leaves Saul.

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:51.759
 Because without

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:52.519
 the Holy Spirit,

00:15:52.699 --> 00:15:53.500
 Saul can no longer

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:54.379
 be any kind of

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:55.259
 an effective king

00:15:55.259 --> 00:15:56.600
 for the nation.

00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:57.500
 And a harmful,

00:15:58.659 --> 00:15:59.620
 distressing spirit

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:00.580
 came from the Lord

00:16:00.580 --> 00:16:01.319
 to torment him.

00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:02.299
 So something very

00:16:02.299 --> 00:16:04.439
 scary and tragic.

00:16:05.620 --> 00:16:06.059
 So,

00:16:06.220 --> 00:16:07.159
 let's just get into

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.419
 some of the questions.

00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:09.220
 That's sort of our,

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:11.559
 the overview of our text.

00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:13.299
 Let's just walk through

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:14.200
 this with questions.

00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:16.240
 So a lot of this

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.179
 will be just background,

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.759
 things about David,

00:16:18.819 --> 00:16:19.480
 but then getting into

00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:20.259
 some other stuff.

00:16:21.019 --> 00:16:21.860
 So what was

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:22.980
 David's background?

00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:24.879
 His Hebrew name,

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.460
 David,

00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:27.259
 beloved one,

00:16:27.340 --> 00:16:28.379
 which means strength,

00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:29.539
 favor.

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.240
 Born roughly

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:32.980
 around 1040 B.C.,

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:34.460
 so a very long time ago

00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:36.000
 in Bethlehem.

00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:37.639
 His father was Jesse.

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.659
 The scripture doesn't

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.439
 mention his mother,

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:41.159
 but the Talmud

00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:42.019
 mentions his mother.

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:43.980
 He also had two sisters.

00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:46.840
 The Bible doesn't

00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.559
 name his mother,

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.200
 like I said,

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:49.039
 but I think she was

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:50.000
 significant in raising

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.299
 these men.

00:16:51.899 --> 00:16:52.620
 He lived roughly

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.779
 70 years,

00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.159
 dying around

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.820
 970 B.C.

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.840
 So we get a description

00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:00.480
 of him here,

00:17:00.700 --> 00:17:01.379
 his character,

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.320
 his physical physique.

00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:04.559
 So,

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.079
 look at 1612.

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:06.839
 We see that David

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:07.960
 was ruddy.

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.880
 And that means

00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:10.779
 like a reddish

00:17:10.779 --> 00:17:12.759
 or brownish color.

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.039
 It can mean

00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:16.440
 red hair,

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.380
 ginger.

00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:20.520
 It was also

00:17:20.520 --> 00:17:21.680
 used of Esau,

00:17:22.100 --> 00:17:23.000
 the same word,

00:17:23.800 --> 00:17:24.860
 Genesis 25,

00:17:25.020 --> 00:17:25.760
 25.

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:27.380
 More than likely,

00:17:27.540 --> 00:17:27.740
 though,

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:28.520
 is denoting

00:17:28.520 --> 00:17:29.260
 that he was

00:17:29.260 --> 00:17:30.100
 physically fit,

00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:30.520
 healthy,

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.140
 strong,

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:32.660
 kind of the opposite

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:33.760
 of like pale,

00:17:34.300 --> 00:17:34.720
 frail,

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:35.260
 weak,

00:17:35.840 --> 00:17:36.760
 just full of

00:17:36.760 --> 00:17:37.620
 life.

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:39.320
 And he had

00:17:39.320 --> 00:17:40.020
 beautiful

00:17:40.020 --> 00:17:40.760
 or bright

00:17:40.760 --> 00:17:41.380
 eyes.

00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:42.580
 So,

00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:43.580
 this means

00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:44.000
 that he had

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.880
 like this sparkle

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:45.440
 in his eye,

00:17:45.520 --> 00:17:46.320
 this alertness,

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:47.340
 this vitality,

00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:49.179
 and that

00:17:49.179 --> 00:17:50.240
 not just

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.619
 of one

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:51.139
 who's strong

00:17:51.139 --> 00:17:51.699
 physically,

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:52.259
 but one

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:52.939
 who's well

00:17:52.939 --> 00:17:54.279
 spiritually too.

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:55.559
 As we know

00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:56.339
 that Jesus said

00:17:56.339 --> 00:17:57.000
 in Matthew 6,

00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:57.619
 the eye is the

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:58.399
 lamp of the body.

00:17:59.439 --> 00:18:00.179
 So if your eyes

00:18:00.179 --> 00:18:00.740
 are healthy,

00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:01.519
 your whole body

00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:02.019
 will be full

00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:02.519
 of light.

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.859
 So this was

00:18:03.859 --> 00:18:04.319
 the description

00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:04.859
 of David,

00:18:04.959 --> 00:18:05.500
 like he had

00:18:05.500 --> 00:18:06.459
 a clear conscience,

00:18:07.220 --> 00:18:07.659
 a genuine

00:18:07.659 --> 00:18:08.179
 relationship

00:18:08.179 --> 00:18:09.059
 before God,

00:18:09.639 --> 00:18:10.220
 and you can see

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:11.799
 it in his

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.220
 demeanor,

00:18:12.379 --> 00:18:13.099
 in his eyes.

00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:14.500
 So,

00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:15.720
 brought by

00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:16.159
 a genuine

00:18:16.159 --> 00:18:16.799
 relationship

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:17.359
 with God.

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:17.659
 And next

00:18:17.659 --> 00:18:18.039
 it says

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:18.359
 he was

00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:18.839
 handsome.

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.039
 So,

00:18:20.399 --> 00:18:20.859
 appealing

00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:21.440
 or good

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:21.819
 looking

00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:23.159
 to the

00:18:23.159 --> 00:18:23.480
 eyes.

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:24.220
 But it

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:24.980
 doesn't just

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:25.220
 mean,

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.559
 it does

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:26.019
 mean that,

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:26.299
 but it

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:26.839
 also just

00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:28.139
 means that

00:18:28.139 --> 00:18:28.399
 he had a

00:18:28.399 --> 00:18:29.039
 very pleasant

00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:29.619
 demeanor.

00:18:29.740 --> 00:18:30.559
 His countenance

00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.000
 was attractive.

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.079
 He just

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:33.779
 entered the room

00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:34.339
 and you felt

00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:35.059
 at ease.

00:18:35.159 --> 00:18:35.559
 You felt

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:36.539
 welcomed.

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.139
 You felt

00:18:37.139 --> 00:18:37.960
 loved,

00:18:38.180 --> 00:18:38.740
 easy to be

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:39.079
 around.

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:40.759
 So later

00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.579
 on in chapter

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.099
 16,

00:18:42.159 --> 00:18:42.700
 verse 18,

00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:43.139
 we learn

00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:43.660
 that David

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:45.040
 was also,

00:18:46.100 --> 00:18:47.060
 Saul's servant

00:18:47.060 --> 00:18:47.820
 gives a description

00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:48.320
 of David,

00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:49.960
 and it says

00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:50.820
 that he was

00:18:50.820 --> 00:18:52.560
 prudent

00:18:52.560 --> 00:18:54.200
 in speech,

00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:54.840
 meaning that

00:18:54.840 --> 00:18:55.660
 he was careful,

00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.040
 he was well-spoken,

00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:58.460
 he spoke very

00:18:58.460 --> 00:18:58.960
 clearly,

00:18:59.620 --> 00:19:00.120
 articulate,

00:19:01.080 --> 00:19:01.759
 and he was

00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:02.259
 also,

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:03.040
 that servant

00:19:03.040 --> 00:19:03.440
 says,

00:19:03.520 --> 00:19:04.120
 a man of

00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:05.300
 good presence,

00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:06.840
 a calmly one.

00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.160
 Again,

00:19:07.220 --> 00:19:07.700
 like you felt

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:08.520
 at ease when you

00:19:08.520 --> 00:19:08.980
 were in his

00:19:08.980 --> 00:19:09.480
 presence.

00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:09.660
 presence.

00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:10.920
 So that's

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:11.700
 his physical

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.579
 descriptions of

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:13.160
 his character.

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:14.519
 Then he had a

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:14.900
 lot of

00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:15.620
 capabilities.

00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:16.940
 Alright,

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.660
 so he was a

00:19:17.660 --> 00:19:18.200
 very gifted

00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.799
 man and he

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:20.400
 developed all

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.279
 these skills

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:22.779
 that God

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:23.120
 had given

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:23.539
 him just

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.000
 by being

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:24.620
 faithful,

00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:25.860
 hear me

00:19:25.860 --> 00:19:26.039
 now,

00:19:26.120 --> 00:19:26.940
 being faithful

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:28.740
 in everyday

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:29.599
 obedience and

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:29.920
 the concept

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.079
 that the

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.880
 western mind

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.180
 today,

00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:32.640
 the western

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:33.559
 men particularly

00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:34.059
 today,

00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:34.920
 but think

00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:35.380
 don't go

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:35.779
 together.

00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:36.460
 Like,

00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:37.339
 you're either

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:38.039
 this or

00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:38.640
 you're that.

00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.020
 And David

00:19:41.020 --> 00:19:41.600
 doesn't quite

00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:42.200
 fit that.

00:19:43.300 --> 00:19:43.700
 So,

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.759
 he was.

00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:46.180
 We have

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.460
 the tough

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:47.960
 guy,

00:19:48.300 --> 00:19:49.860
 the man's

00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:50.240
 man.

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:51.740
 He shoots

00:19:51.740 --> 00:19:52.200
 guns,

00:19:52.320 --> 00:19:52.800
 he hunts,

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:53.340
 he fishes,

00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:54.560
 he knows how

00:19:54.560 --> 00:19:55.100
 to survive

00:19:55.100 --> 00:19:55.360
 in the

00:19:55.360 --> 00:19:55.680
 wilderness,

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:57.240
 he boxes,

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:57.920
 goes to the

00:19:57.920 --> 00:19:58.200
 gym,

00:19:58.360 --> 00:19:58.860
 wrestles,

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.140
 fixes his

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:00.840
 own cars,

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:01.400
 and he watches

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:02.000
 war movies

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.700
 and westerns.

00:20:02.820 --> 00:20:02.960
 So,

00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:03.880
 he had like

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:04.560
 that side

00:20:04.560 --> 00:20:04.860
 of him.

00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:06.240
 On the

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:06.759
 other hand,

00:20:06.820 --> 00:20:07.140
 he was a

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:08.020
 very sensitive

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:09.779
 compassionate

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.359
 guy,

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:11.980
 sensitive,

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:13.099
 bookworm,

00:20:14.139 --> 00:20:15.460
 writes poems

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:17.400
 and stories.

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.200
 He watches

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.240
 rom-coms and

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:20.619
 dramas.

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:22.500
 He likes

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.000
 to bake.

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:25.079
 So,

00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:25.599
 the British

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.279
 baking show,

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:27.799
 there is one

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:28.420
 guy in episode

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:29.200
 three or four,

00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:29.879
 and he's like a

00:20:29.879 --> 00:20:30.279
 really good

00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:30.559
 baker,

00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:32.019
 but he was

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:33.359
 like in the

00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:34.079
 elite British

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.519
 regiment,

00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.000
 the Cold

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:35.420
 Stream Guard.

00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:35.799
 He could just

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:36.259
 see Paul

00:20:36.259 --> 00:20:36.920
 insulting him,

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.099
 and he would

00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:37.579
 just be like,

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.240
 I don't care

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:39.519
 what you're

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:39.740
 saying.

00:20:40.139 --> 00:20:40.279
 So,

00:20:40.719 --> 00:20:41.259
 probably that

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:41.539
 kind of

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:41.919
 baker if

00:20:41.919 --> 00:20:42.179
 he was

00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:42.399
 one.

00:20:42.639 --> 00:20:42.779
 So,

00:20:43.339 --> 00:20:44.240
 moving on.

00:20:44.919 --> 00:20:45.119
 So,

00:20:45.159 --> 00:20:45.419
 no matter

00:20:45.419 --> 00:20:45.980
 what,

00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.079
 in David's

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.319
 life,

00:20:48.379 --> 00:20:48.619
 there is

00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:49.139
 something that

00:20:49.139 --> 00:20:49.740
 appealed to

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:50.519
 each man in

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:50.719
 here,

00:20:50.939 --> 00:20:51.699
 particularly men,

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:52.079
 I'll just

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:52.339
 say,

00:20:53.059 --> 00:20:53.579
 something for

00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:53.939
 us to

00:20:53.939 --> 00:20:54.679
 relate to.

00:20:55.459 --> 00:20:55.659
 So,

00:20:55.719 --> 00:20:55.899
 some of

00:20:55.899 --> 00:20:56.019
 these

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:56.659
 capabilities,

00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:57.039
 one,

00:20:57.139 --> 00:20:57.619
 he was a

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:57.939
 shepherd.

00:20:58.079 --> 00:20:58.339
 That was

00:20:58.339 --> 00:20:58.619
 one of the

00:20:58.619 --> 00:20:59.339
 first things

00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:00.339
 mentioned

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:00.859
 about him.

00:21:00.879 --> 00:21:01.059
 He's

00:21:01.059 --> 00:21:01.599
 keeping the

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:01.799
 sheep,

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:02.439
 he's guarding

00:21:02.439 --> 00:21:02.919
 and watching

00:21:02.919 --> 00:21:04.159
 over the

00:21:04.159 --> 00:21:04.539
 sheep,

00:21:04.939 --> 00:21:05.699
 the youngest.

00:21:05.700 --> 00:21:05.980
 So,

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:06.400
 that means

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:06.700
 that his

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.420
 father trusted

00:21:07.420 --> 00:21:08.380
 him to

00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:08.759
 watch over

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:09.240
 the sheep.

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:10.299
 It could

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:10.720
 be kind

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.000
 of like

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.660
 grunt work

00:21:11.660 --> 00:21:12.019
 a little

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:12.539
 bit too,

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:13.380
 but it

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:13.640
 was an

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.000
 important

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.380
 thing,

00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:14.600
 and the

00:21:14.600 --> 00:21:15.480
 flock had

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:15.720
 to be

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.500
 kept intact

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:17.580
 and protected

00:21:17.580 --> 00:21:18.620
 from predators,

00:21:19.380 --> 00:21:19.960
 moved from

00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.480
 pasture to

00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:20.860
 pasture.

00:21:21.860 --> 00:21:22.279
 And it

00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:22.779
 says in

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:24.180
 1 Samuel 17

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:25.240
 that David

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.019
 protected the

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:26.460
 sheep by

00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:27.400
 striking down

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:28.380
 lions and

00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:28.799
 bears.

00:21:30.120 --> 00:21:30.660
 Have any

00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:31.400
 ever run

00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:31.819
 into a

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:32.279
 bear in the

00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:32.519
 woods?

00:21:32.600 --> 00:21:33.000
 I have.

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.400
 It's a pretty

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.240
 scary thing,

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:34.680
 especially in

00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:35.100
 the dark.

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:37.320
 It's very,

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:37.820
 so he would

00:21:37.820 --> 00:21:38.400
 just go toe

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:38.980
 to toe with

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:39.580
 these things

00:21:39.580 --> 00:21:40.700
 and wouldn't

00:21:40.700 --> 00:21:41.940
 hesitate to

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.420
 face them.

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:43.700
 So he had

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:44.820
 serious guts.

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:45.620
 And furthermore,

00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:46.500
 something you

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:46.920
 might think

00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:47.620
 about is being

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.460
 a shepherd out

00:21:48.460 --> 00:21:49.000
 in the hills,

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.440
 out in the

00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:49.799
 wilderness,

00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:51.340
 it afforded

00:21:51.340 --> 00:21:51.860
 him a lot

00:21:51.860 --> 00:21:52.640
 of time to

00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:53.060
 think,

00:21:54.100 --> 00:21:54.560
 reflect,

00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:56.120
 pray,

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.539
 to spend

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:58.120
 that time

00:21:58.120 --> 00:21:58.860
 thinking about

00:21:58.860 --> 00:21:59.360
 the shepherd

00:21:59.360 --> 00:22:00.759
 metaphor and

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.299
 how God

00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:01.860
 relates to

00:22:01.860 --> 00:22:02.440
 his people

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:03.420
 as a shepherd

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:04.940
 and promises

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:05.460
 to lead,

00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:05.880
 provide,

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.360
 and protect

00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:06.820
 his people.

00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:07.640
 As he later

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:08.600
 wrote in

00:22:08.600 --> 00:22:09.320
 Psalm 23,

00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:09.960
 the Lord is

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:10.600
 my shepherd.

00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:11.920
 I shall not

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.240
 want.

00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:12.740
 He makes me

00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:13.380
 lie down

00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:13.940
 in green

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:14.480
 pastures.

00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:15.820
 He leaves me

00:22:15.820 --> 00:22:16.360
 beside the

00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:16.900
 still waters.

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:17.600
 He restores

00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:18.360
 my soul.

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:19.779
 He leaves me

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:20.320
 in paths of

00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:20.799
 righteousness

00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:21.600
 for his

00:22:21.600 --> 00:22:22.420
 name's sake.

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:24.000
 So he was

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.680
 a shepherd

00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.259
 at heart.

00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:27.960
 Secondly,

00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.420
 we learn

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:31.140
 that he was

00:22:31.140 --> 00:22:31.600
 a singer

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:32.240
 and poet.

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:33.860
 David is

00:22:33.860 --> 00:22:34.579
 referred to

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:36.160
 in 1618

00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:37.039
 as he is

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.680
 skillful

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.860
 in playing

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:39.360
 on the

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:39.680
 harp.

00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:41.480
 So skillful

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:42.019
 was he in

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.400
 playing that

00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:42.759
 he actually

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.700
 brought refreshment

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:45.059
 to Saul's

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:45.960
 distressed

00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:47.400
 soul that

00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:47.900
 tormented

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.259
 him.

00:22:49.299 --> 00:22:49.960
 And in a

00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:50.600
 manner that

00:22:50.600 --> 00:22:51.579
 in this way

00:22:51.579 --> 00:22:52.120
 God used

00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:52.620
 the evil

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:53.100
 of Saul

00:22:53.100 --> 00:22:53.559
 to bring

00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:54.279
 David actually

00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:55.019
 into the

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.620
 court of the

00:22:55.620 --> 00:22:56.640
 king and

00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.220
 the washful

00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:57.799
 eyes of the

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.160
 army.

00:22:59.579 --> 00:23:00.160
 Elsewhere

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.200
 in 2 Samuel

00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:02.799
 David is

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.299
 referred to

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:04.400
 as the

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:04.880
 sweet

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.700
 psalmist

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:07.160
 or singer

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.000
 of Israel.

00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:09.279
 So he

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:10.100
 showed immense

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:10.779
 sensitivity

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:12.140
 the right

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:12.799
 expression

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:13.740
 of emotion

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:14.880
 in the

00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:15.440
 psalms that

00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:15.980
 he wrote

00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:16.740
 and sang.

00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:18.240
 He truly

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:18.920
 believed that

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.620
 God's gifts

00:23:19.620 --> 00:23:20.180
 and God's

00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:20.759
 endowments

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.240
 were to be

00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:21.819
 developed

00:23:21.819 --> 00:23:24.380
 and used

00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:24.819
 in a way

00:23:24.819 --> 00:23:25.319
 that honored

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:26.279
 God and

00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:26.880
 that served

00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:27.520
 other people

00:23:27.520 --> 00:23:28.320
 around him.

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:29.880
 And then

00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.380
 thirdly

00:23:30.380 --> 00:23:30.820
 another

00:23:30.820 --> 00:23:31.880
 characteristic

00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:33.120
 or I

00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:33.300
 guess

00:23:33.300 --> 00:23:33.740
 trait

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:34.160
 would be

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:34.440
 that he

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.080
 was a

00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:35.440
 soldier.

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.940
 It's usually

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:37.420
 singer

00:23:37.420 --> 00:23:38.540
 poet

00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:39.040
 soldier

00:23:39.040 --> 00:23:39.320
 doesn't

00:23:39.320 --> 00:23:39.640
 quite

00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:41.080
 go together.

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.520
 In this

00:23:41.520 --> 00:23:41.880
 case it

00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.180
 does.

00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:42.500
 He was

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:42.900
 like the

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:43.240
 epic

00:23:43.240 --> 00:23:43.660
 warrior

00:23:43.660 --> 00:23:44.120
 poet.

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:45.920
 So we

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:46.320
 get this

00:23:46.320 --> 00:23:47.060
 image of

00:23:47.060 --> 00:23:47.620
 David being

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:48.700
 this ragtag

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.480
 inexperienced

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:50.300
 green kid

00:23:50.300 --> 00:23:50.800
 that shows

00:23:50.800 --> 00:23:52.140
 up to

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.760
 fight but

00:23:52.760 --> 00:23:53.300
 that's not

00:23:53.300 --> 00:23:53.780
 how he's

00:23:53.780 --> 00:23:54.300
 described.

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:55.379
 he's

00:23:55.379 --> 00:23:55.899
 referred to

00:23:55.899 --> 00:23:56.619
 by Saul's

00:23:56.619 --> 00:23:57.119
 servants

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:59.039
 in 1618

00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.720
 as a man

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.339
 of valor

00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:01.419
 a man

00:24:01.419 --> 00:24:02.200
 of war.

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:03.659
 A term

00:24:03.659 --> 00:24:04.480
 biblically

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:04.960
 meaning that

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.240
 he was

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:05.740
 brave

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:07.259
 courageously

00:24:07.259 --> 00:24:08.079
 fierce to

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:08.440
 fight

00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.779
 in hand to

00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:10.440
 hand combat

00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:11.480
 a man of

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.220
 war meaning

00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:12.659
 someone who

00:24:12.659 --> 00:24:13.299
 was trained

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:14.220
 in the

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:14.859
 weapons of

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:15.460
 that day

00:24:15.460 --> 00:24:17.399
 in a very

00:24:17.399 --> 00:24:18.419
 well you know

00:24:18.419 --> 00:24:19.759
 capable fighter

00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:20.200
 in any

00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:20.819
 situation

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:22.079
 fighting

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.700
 warrior

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:23.980
 and then

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.480
 following that

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:25.179
 time after

00:24:25.179 --> 00:24:25.779
 he fought

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:26.299
 Goliath

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:26.599
 he only

00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:27.200
 grew in

00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:27.500
 that

00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:28.399
 ability

00:24:28.399 --> 00:24:28.819
 he only

00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:29.259
 grew in

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.679
 that skill

00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:30.339
 to be a

00:24:30.339 --> 00:24:30.980
 warrior on

00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:31.579
 the battlefield

00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:32.579
 and so

00:24:32.579 --> 00:24:33.259
 legendary

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:34.740
 was his

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.579
 fighting ability

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:36.099
 that later

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:36.639
 the women

00:24:36.639 --> 00:24:37.240
 sang

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.359
 in 1

00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:39.059
 Samuel 18

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.539
 7

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:40.839
 they sang

00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:41.139
 to one

00:24:41.139 --> 00:24:41.439
 another

00:24:41.439 --> 00:24:42.039
 and celebrated

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:42.519
 Saul

00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:43.039
 has struck

00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:43.339
 down

00:24:43.339 --> 00:24:44.019
 thousands

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:45.799
 but David

00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:46.700
 tens of

00:24:46.700 --> 00:24:47.119
 thousands

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.519
 so his

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:50.359
 prowess on

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:50.919
 the battlefield

00:24:50.919 --> 00:24:51.819
 meant also

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.159
 that he

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:52.639
 drew

00:24:52.639 --> 00:24:53.799
 naturally

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.319
 drew

00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:55.519
 the best

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:55.919
 fighters

00:24:55.919 --> 00:24:56.619
 of his

00:24:56.619 --> 00:24:57.000
 day

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:58.259
 they wanted

00:24:58.259 --> 00:24:58.659
 to be

00:24:58.659 --> 00:24:59.219
 around him

00:24:59.219 --> 00:24:59.739
 they loved

00:24:59.739 --> 00:25:00.019
 him

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.739
 and respected

00:25:00.739 --> 00:25:01.139
 him

00:25:01.139 --> 00:25:02.299
 so the

00:25:02.299 --> 00:25:02.639
 seals

00:25:02.639 --> 00:25:03.239
 the rangers

00:25:03.239 --> 00:25:03.699
 the delta

00:25:03.699 --> 00:25:04.039
 force

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:04.559
 the SAS

00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:04.979
 guys

00:25:04.979 --> 00:25:05.379
 they all

00:25:05.379 --> 00:25:05.839
 wanted to

00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:06.339
 hang out

00:25:06.339 --> 00:25:07.459
 with David

00:25:07.459 --> 00:25:08.579
 and fight

00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:09.259
 alongside

00:25:09.259 --> 00:25:09.699
 him

00:25:09.699 --> 00:25:11.139
 so he

00:25:11.139 --> 00:25:11.539
 could take

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:12.059
 any guy

00:25:12.059 --> 00:25:12.339
 in this

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:12.619
 room

00:25:12.619 --> 00:25:13.919
 easily

00:25:13.919 --> 00:25:15.239
 so record

00:25:15.239 --> 00:25:16.199
 all his

00:25:16.199 --> 00:25:16.599
 greatest

00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:17.099
 battles

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.459
 or seen

00:25:17.459 --> 00:25:18.419
 in 2 Samuel

00:25:18.419 --> 00:25:19.619
 chapter 8

00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:20.259
 just a list

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:20.819
 of all his

00:25:20.819 --> 00:25:21.319
 victories

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:22.459
 in a time

00:25:22.459 --> 00:25:23.059
 where warfare

00:25:23.059 --> 00:25:23.819
 was close

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:25.379
 and personal

00:25:25.379 --> 00:25:27.259
 so that's

00:25:27.259 --> 00:25:28.319
 his background

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:29.779
 it's a little

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:30.240
 bit about

00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:30.439
 him

00:25:30.439 --> 00:25:32.279
 but secondly

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:33.859
 all those

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.219
 things are

00:25:34.219 --> 00:25:34.599
 cool

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:35.339
 interesting

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:37.119
 whatever

00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:39.139
 but this

00:25:39.139 --> 00:25:39.359
 is the

00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:39.559
 second

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:39.980
 question

00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:40.579
 what was

00:25:40.579 --> 00:25:41.119
 David's

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:41.919
 distinguishing

00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:42.480
 trait

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:44.039
 in God's

00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:44.359
 eyes

00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:45.839
 alright

00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:47.220
 and the

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.480
 simple

00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:47.859
 answer

00:25:47.859 --> 00:25:48.099
 is

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.299
 his

00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:48.759
 heart

00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.879
 was

00:25:49.879 --> 00:25:50.500
 God's

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:51.899
 in our

00:25:51.899 --> 00:25:52.519
 context

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:52.859
 today

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.259
 in verse

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:53.619
 7

00:25:53.619 --> 00:25:54.899
 you see

00:25:54.899 --> 00:25:55.339
 Samuel

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:55.959
 inspecting

00:25:55.959 --> 00:25:56.399
 Jesse's

00:25:56.399 --> 00:25:56.779
 sons

00:25:56.779 --> 00:25:57.079
 and

00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:58.839
 surely

00:25:58.839 --> 00:25:59.299
 this is

00:25:59.299 --> 00:25:59.740
 the Lord's

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:00.159
 anointing

00:26:00.159 --> 00:26:00.599
 and God

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:00.899
 says

00:26:00.899 --> 00:26:01.319
 no

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:02.439
 and again

00:26:02.439 --> 00:26:02.939
 do not

00:26:02.939 --> 00:26:03.319
 look at

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:03.480
 his

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:03.799
 outward

00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:04.359
 appearance

00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:04.679
 man

00:26:04.679 --> 00:26:05.000
 looks at

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:05.099
 the

00:26:05.099 --> 00:26:05.379
 outward

00:26:05.379 --> 00:26:05.799
 appearance

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:06.500
 but God

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.720
 looks

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.240
 at

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.539
 the

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:08.919
 heart

00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:12.279
 so if

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:13.680
 we in

00:26:13.680 --> 00:26:13.840
 our

00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:14.220
 culture

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:16.160
 we

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:16.800
 worship

00:26:16.800 --> 00:26:17.519
 I mean

00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:18.240
 worship

00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:19.580
 outward

00:26:19.580 --> 00:26:20.100
 beauty

00:26:20.100 --> 00:26:20.820
 physical

00:26:20.820 --> 00:26:22.140
 attractiveness

00:26:22.140 --> 00:26:23.840
 youthful

00:26:23.840 --> 00:26:24.400
 allure

00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:26.680
 and our

00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:27.019
 culture

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.500
 pushes

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:28.360
 and pressures

00:26:28.360 --> 00:26:30.060
 particularly

00:26:30.060 --> 00:26:31.840
 girls

00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:32.480
 and women

00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:34.100
 guys

00:26:34.100 --> 00:26:34.360
 aren't

00:26:34.360 --> 00:26:34.779
 excluded

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:35.220
 but just

00:26:35.220 --> 00:26:35.519
 women

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.100
 particularly

00:26:36.100 --> 00:26:36.680
 just hear

00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:37.039
 me on

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:37.360
 this

00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:39.059
 they push

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:39.539
 you so

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:39.919
 hard

00:26:39.919 --> 00:26:40.319
 to look

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:40.899
 outwardly

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:41.379
 attractive

00:26:41.379 --> 00:26:43.199
 and if

00:26:43.199 --> 00:26:43.419
 you could

00:26:43.419 --> 00:26:43.839
 only let

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:44.459
 that deep

00:26:44.459 --> 00:26:45.059
 profound

00:26:45.059 --> 00:26:45.459
 truth

00:26:45.459 --> 00:26:46.199
 just sink

00:26:46.199 --> 00:26:46.579
 in

00:26:46.579 --> 00:26:47.839
 how

00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.240
 different

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:48.500
 would

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:48.659
 your

00:26:48.659 --> 00:26:48.939
 life

00:26:48.939 --> 00:26:49.240
 be

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:50.559
 how

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:50.799
 much

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.179
 of your

00:26:51.179 --> 00:26:51.939
 anxiety

00:26:51.939 --> 00:26:52.619
 and fear

00:26:52.619 --> 00:26:53.039
 of like

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:53.279
 other

00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:53.719
 people

00:26:53.719 --> 00:26:55.399
 judging

00:26:55.399 --> 00:26:55.599
 you

00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:56.240
 be removed

00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.459
 if you

00:26:56.459 --> 00:26:56.679
 just

00:26:56.679 --> 00:26:57.259
 understood

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:58.859
 that

00:26:58.859 --> 00:26:59.159
 that's

00:26:59.159 --> 00:26:59.339
 not

00:26:59.339 --> 00:26:59.519
 what

00:26:59.519 --> 00:26:59.899
 God

00:26:59.899 --> 00:27:00.199
 really

00:27:00.199 --> 00:27:00.500
 cares

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:00.859
 about

00:27:00.859 --> 00:27:02.000
 that's

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.159
 not

00:27:02.159 --> 00:27:02.299
 what

00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:02.439
 he

00:27:02.439 --> 00:27:02.719
 looks

00:27:07.580 --> 00:27:08.160
 these words

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:08.500
 are not

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:08.960
 only a

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.200
 statement

00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:09.759
 of the

00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:10.200
 clearness

00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:10.840
 of God's

00:27:10.840 --> 00:27:11.279
 vision

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:12.320

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:13.820
 to judge

00:27:13.820 --> 00:27:14.980
 they're also

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:15.460
 a statement

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:15.900
 of our

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.540
 limitations

00:27:16.540 --> 00:27:18.160
 and of

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.420
 course

00:27:18.420 --> 00:27:19.040
 the crux

00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:19.680
 this is of

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:19.860
 course

00:27:19.860 --> 00:27:20.420
 the crux

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:20.840
 of the

00:27:20.840 --> 00:27:21.380
 problem

00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:22.820
 it is not

00:27:22.820 --> 00:27:23.220
 just that

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:23.840
 God can

00:27:23.840 --> 00:27:24.500
 see clearly

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:25.680
 it is that

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.560
 God alone

00:27:26.560 --> 00:27:27.340
 can see

00:27:27.340 --> 00:27:27.940
 clearly

00:27:27.940 --> 00:27:29.240
 at best

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.779
 we only

00:27:29.779 --> 00:27:30.320
 see the

00:27:30.320 --> 00:27:30.640
 outward

00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:31.320
 appearance

00:27:31.320 --> 00:27:32.759
 God looks

00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:33.200
 upon

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.940
 the heart

00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:35.600
 so the

00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:35.900
 heart

00:27:35.900 --> 00:27:36.580
 is used

00:27:36.580 --> 00:27:36.900
 roughly

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:37.420
 a thousand

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:37.880
 times

00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:38.340
 or more

00:27:38.340 --> 00:27:38.860
 in the

00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:39.120
 scripture

00:27:39.120 --> 00:27:39.580
 making it

00:27:39.580 --> 00:27:39.840
 one of the

00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:40.380
 most common

00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:40.980
 terms

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:42.539
 about humans

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:43.279
 in the

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:43.580

00:27:43.580 --> 00:27:44.620
 God

00:27:44.620 --> 00:27:45.160
 created our

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:45.420
 hearts

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:45.880
 to be the

00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:46.259
 center

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:47.400
 of our

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:47.900
 emotions

00:27:47.900 --> 00:27:48.140
 our

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:49.860
 our

00:27:49.860 --> 00:27:51.059
 intellectual

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:51.740
 moral

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:52.460
 activity

00:27:52.460 --> 00:27:53.740
 a vital

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.180
 part of

00:27:54.180 --> 00:27:54.320
 our

00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:54.799
 spiritual

00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:55.400
 makeup

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:56.720
 and the

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:56.900
 scripture

00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:57.559
 says a lot

00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:57.920
 about the

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.220
 heart

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:59.980
 Proverbs

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.559
 27

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:00.980
 19

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:03.519
 as in

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:04.000
 water

00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:04.599
 face

00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:05.079
 reflects

00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:05.680
 face

00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:06.559
 so the

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:06.839
 heart

00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.120
 of a

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.420
 man

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:07.920
 reflects

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:08.160
 the

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.519
 man

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:09.799
 meaning

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.360
 that the

00:28:10.360 --> 00:28:10.599
 heart

00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:11.059
 reflects

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:11.240
 the

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:11.779
 person's

00:28:11.779 --> 00:28:12.099
 true

00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:12.579
 nature

00:28:12.579 --> 00:28:13.799
 God

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:14.259
 ultimately

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:15.200
 cares

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.640
 very little

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.039
 about our

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:18.299
 outward

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:18.779
 appearance

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:19.019
 and this

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:19.400
 isn't a

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:19.700
 license

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:20.059
 just to

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:20.360
 be

00:28:20.360 --> 00:28:21.420
 nasty

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:22.099
 and sloppy

00:28:22.099 --> 00:28:22.819
 that's not

00:28:22.819 --> 00:28:23.299
 what we're

00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:23.660
 saying

00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:24.299
 most of

00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:24.480
 you are

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.799
 mature

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:25.099
 enough

00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:25.400
 to know

00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:25.620
 what we're

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.240
 aiming at

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:27.559
 I know

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:27.759
 some

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:28.000
 people

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.400
 dress

00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:29.200
 down

00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:29.819
 on purpose

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.079
 because

00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:30.559
 they want

00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:30.779
 people

00:28:30.779 --> 00:28:31.200
 to think

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:31.460
 that they

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:31.660
 don't

00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:31.980

 about

 their

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:33.700
 appearance

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:33.940

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:34.139
 really

00:28:34.139 --> 00:28:34.500
 do

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:36.740
 also

 the

 you

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:03.799
 past

00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:04.039
 what

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:04.559
 man

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:05.080
 cares

00:29:05.080 --> 00:29:05.480
 about

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:06.240
 so

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:06.360
 in

00:29:06.360 --> 00:29:06.900
 summary

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:08.019
 outward

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:08.420
 looks

00:29:08.420 --> 00:29:08.559
 and

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:09.120
 appearances

00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:09.720
 are

00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:10.039
 an

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.820
 inadequate

00:29:10.820 --> 00:29:12.200
 measuring

00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:12.860
 scales

00:29:12.860 --> 00:29:13.440
 to weigh

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:14.000
 someone's

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.680
 true love

00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:15.279
 and devotion

00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:16.600
 to God

00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:18.200
 inadequate

00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:19.400
 outward

00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:19.920
 appearances

00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:20.320
 cannot

00:29:20.320 --> 00:29:20.900
 rightly

00:29:20.900 --> 00:29:21.420
 predict

00:29:21.420 --> 00:29:21.960
 someone's

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:22.160
 love

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:22.680
 for God

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.620
 or their

00:29:23.620 --> 00:29:23.860
 inner

00:29:23.860 --> 00:29:24.240
 beauty

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:24.700
 or anything

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:25.039
 else

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:25.299
 some of

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.559
 the most

00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:25.940
 attractive

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.259
 people

00:29:26.259 --> 00:29:26.620
 some of

00:29:26.620 --> 00:29:26.740
 us

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:26.940
 know

00:29:26.940 --> 00:29:27.200
 are some

00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:27.400
 of the

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:27.740
 ugliest

00:29:27.740 --> 00:29:28.019
 people

00:29:28.019 --> 00:29:28.180
 we

00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:28.440
 know

00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:30.059
 very

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:30.500
 true

00:29:30.500 --> 00:29:31.480
 so

00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:31.880
 don't

00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:32.240
 be

00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:32.839
 fooled

00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.259
 spend

00:29:34.259 --> 00:29:34.559
 less

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:35.039
 time

00:29:35.039 --> 00:29:35.480
 on your

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:35.720
 outward

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.200
 appearance

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:36.460
 if we're

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:36.700
 coming

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:36.980
 here

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:37.299
 and more

00:29:37.299 --> 00:29:37.480
 time

00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:37.759
 on your

00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:38.160
 soul

00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:39.259
 coming

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:39.559
 here

00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:39.839
 each

00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:40.240
 day

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:41.579
 think

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:41.700
 of

00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:41.900
 these

00:29:41.900 --> 00:29:42.359
 things

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.339
 they

00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:43.620
 cannot

00:29:43.620 --> 00:29:44.599
 accurately

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.460
 predict

00:29:45.460 --> 00:29:46.200
 someone's

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.779
 faithfulness

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:47.380
 to God

00:29:47.380 --> 00:29:48.460
 as Jesus

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:48.920
 said

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:49.519
 because

00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.019
 from the

00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:50.279
 heart

00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.980
 overflows

00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:51.019
!

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:51.339
 our

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:52.059
 actions

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:53.599
 right

00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.099
 that's

00:29:54.099 --> 00:29:54.720
 Mark

00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:55.120
 7

00:29:55.120 --> 00:29:55.660
 21

00:29:55.660 --> 00:29:56.700
 the

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:56.980
 Bible

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.519
 informs

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:57.720
 us

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.980
 that

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.120
 the

00:29:59.120 --> 00:29:59.540
 Lord

00:29:59.540 --> 00:30:00.259
 weighs

00:30:00.259 --> 00:30:01.259
 the

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:01.640
 heart

00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:02.880
 Proverbs

00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:03.400
 21

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.740
 2

00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:03.920
 he

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.420
 considers

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:04.700
 he

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.240
 examines

00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:05.420
 he

00:30:05.420 --> 00:30:05.779
 judges

00:30:05.779 --> 00:30:06.759
 the

00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:07.140
 heart

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:08.759
 so

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.400
 referring

00:30:09.400 --> 00:30:09.740
 this

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:09.940
 is

00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:10.519
 I need

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:10.800
 to make

00:30:10.800 --> 00:30:11.380
 clarification

00:30:11.380 --> 00:30:12.680
 when we're

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:13.220
 talking about

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.680
 David's

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:13.940
 heart

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.440
 or our

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:14.860
 heart

00:30:14.860 --> 00:30:15.060
 we're

00:30:15.060 --> 00:30:15.300
 talking

00:30:15.300 --> 00:30:15.500
 about

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:15.640
 the

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:16.500
 regenerated

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:17.640
 saved

00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:18.019
 heart

00:30:18.019 --> 00:30:18.380
 someone

00:30:18.380 --> 00:30:18.620
 who's

00:30:18.620 --> 00:30:18.779
 been

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.060
 born

00:30:19.060 --> 00:30:19.480
 again

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:20.500
 not

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:20.720
 the

00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:21.400
 fallen

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:22.980
 corruptible

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:23.380
 heart

00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:24.640
 so

00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:25.320
 that's

00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:25.600
 kind of

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:25.820
 what we're

00:30:25.820 --> 00:30:26.220
 focusing

00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:26.560
 on

00:30:26.560 --> 00:30:27.040
 today

00:30:27.040 --> 00:30:28.660
 but

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:28.900
 one of

00:30:28.900 --> 00:30:29.120
 my

00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:29.460
 favorite

00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:29.820
 verses

00:30:29.820 --> 00:30:30.120
 that I

00:30:30.120 --> 00:30:30.480
 learned

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:30.740
 as an

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:31.000
 early

00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.500
 believer

00:30:31.500 --> 00:30:33.340
 2nd

00:30:33.340 --> 00:30:33.780
 Chronicles

00:30:33.780 --> 00:30:34.240
 16

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:34.620
 9

00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:34.900
 for the

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:35.240
 eyes

00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.500
 of the

00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:35.900
 Lord

00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:37.480
 roam

00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:38.259
 to and

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:38.560
 fro

00:30:38.560 --> 00:30:39.840
 over all

00:30:39.840 --> 00:30:40.360
 the earth

00:30:40.360 --> 00:30:40.740
 to show

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:41.120
 himself

00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:41.800
 strong

00:30:41.800 --> 00:30:42.660
 on behalf

00:30:42.660 --> 00:30:43.720
 of those

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.400
 whose hearts

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:45.020
 are fully

00:30:45.020 --> 00:30:45.500
 devoted

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:46.680
 to him

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:47.980
 so

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:48.500
 examine

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:49.200
 yourself

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:50.740
 as I've

00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.160
 had to do

00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:51.560
 some this

00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:52.240
 past week

00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:52.740
 do you

00:30:52.740 --> 00:30:53.220
 value

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:54.740
 your outward

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:55.460
 appearance

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:56.480
 over the

00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:56.839
 state of

00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:57.200
 your own

00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:57.480
 heart

00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:57.779
 and your

00:30:57.779 --> 00:30:58.140
 soul

00:30:58.140 --> 00:30:59.740
 what is

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.299
 your time

00:31:00.299 --> 00:31:00.620
 and your

00:31:00.620 --> 00:31:00.880
 money

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:01.380
 and your

00:31:01.380 --> 00:31:02.880
 attitude

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:04.460
 reflect

00:31:04.460 --> 00:31:06.200
 are you

00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:06.720
 aware that

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:07.200
 vanity

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:08.120
 is a

00:31:08.120 --> 00:31:08.440
 sin

00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:09.980
 and to

00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:10.279
 live in

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:10.579
 front of

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:11.019
 a mirror

00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:11.480
 is probably

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.100
 the saddest

00:31:12.100 --> 00:31:12.579
 place

00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:13.779
 to be

00:31:13.779 --> 00:31:15.779
 be more

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.279
 concerned

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.860
 about your

00:31:16.860 --> 00:31:17.240
 soul

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:17.920
 and furthermore

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:18.640
 don't overlook

00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.440
 other people

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:21.059
 or underestimate

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:22.880
 other people

00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:23.540
 whose outward

00:31:23.540 --> 00:31:24.640
 features may

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:25.060
 not be

00:31:25.060 --> 00:31:25.660
 exactly what

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:26.220
 you think

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:26.860
 are attractive

00:31:26.860 --> 00:31:28.360
 because that

00:31:28.360 --> 00:31:29.100
 person could

00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:29.620
 very well

00:31:29.620 --> 00:31:31.300
 be someone

00:31:31.300 --> 00:31:31.980
 meaningful in

00:31:31.980 --> 00:31:32.560
 your life

00:31:32.560 --> 00:31:35.060
 very important

00:31:35.060 --> 00:31:36.420
 so what was

00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:37.300
 it about

00:31:37.300 --> 00:31:38.180
 David's heart

00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:40.080
 well in

00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:40.840
 first Samuel

00:31:40.840 --> 00:31:41.520
 just flip from

00:31:41.520 --> 00:31:42.240
 chapter 16

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:42.840
 really quick

00:31:42.840 --> 00:31:44.320
 three chapters

00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:44.700
 back

00:31:44.700 --> 00:31:45.320
 first Samuel

00:31:45.320 --> 00:31:45.900
 13

00:31:45.900 --> 00:31:47.400
 we'll look

00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:47.980
 more at this

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.620
 passage next

00:31:48.620 --> 00:31:49.440
 week but

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.380
 this is when

00:31:50.380 --> 00:31:51.040
 God has

00:31:51.040 --> 00:31:51.940
 rejected Saul

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:52.940
 he tells

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.400
 Samuel

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:54.299
 he's done

00:31:54.299 --> 00:31:55.840
 and God

00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:56.420
 says this

00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:57.019
 to Samuel

00:31:57.019 --> 00:31:58.360
 first

00:31:58.360 --> 00:31:59.299
 Samuel 13

00:31:59.299 --> 00:32:00.160
 verse 13

00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.840
 Samuel said

00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:02.220
 to Saul

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:02.620
 you have

00:32:02.620 --> 00:32:02.820
 done

00:32:02.820 --> 00:32:03.559
 foolishly

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:04.580
 you have

00:32:04.580 --> 00:32:05.100
 not kept

00:32:05.100 --> 00:32:05.900
 the commandment

00:32:05.900 --> 00:32:06.700
 of the

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:07.100
 Lord your

00:32:07.100 --> 00:32:07.539
 God

00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:08.400
 with which

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:08.980
 he commanded

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:09.360
 you

00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:10.860
 for then

00:32:10.860 --> 00:32:11.400
 the Lord

00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:11.640
 has

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:12.200
 established

00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:12.460
 your

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:12.779
 kingdom

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:14.360
 over

00:32:14.360 --> 00:32:14.720
 Israel

00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:15.160
 forever

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:16.320
 but now

00:32:16.320 --> 00:32:16.980
 your kingdom

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:17.600
 shall not

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:18.120
 continue

00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:18.559
 now here

00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:19.140
 it is

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:19.400
 listen

00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:20.440
 the Lord

00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:21.060
 has sought

00:32:21.060 --> 00:32:21.940
 out a man

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.720
 after his

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:23.600
 own heart

00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:26.000
 that is

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:27.560
 speaking of

00:32:27.560 --> 00:32:28.140
 David

00:32:28.140 --> 00:32:29.680
 so what does

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.160
 it mean

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.740
 to be someone

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.519
 after God's

00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:32.160
 own heart

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.180
 quickly

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:34.740
 what it

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.060
 definitely

00:32:35.060 --> 00:32:35.600
 doesn't mean

00:32:35.600 --> 00:32:36.040
 I think you

00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:36.320
 all would

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:36.740
 know this

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:36.960
 is it

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.420
 doesn't mean

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:37.920
 perfection

00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.380
 it doesn't

00:32:38.380 --> 00:32:38.580
 mean

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:39.280
 sinlessness

00:32:39.280 --> 00:32:41.500
 it also

00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:42.060
 isn't this

00:32:42.060 --> 00:32:43.000
 like high

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:43.620
 spiritual

00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:44.200
 state

00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:45.920
 of like

00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:46.420
 nirvana

00:32:46.420 --> 00:32:46.960
 that you

00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.300
 reach

00:32:47.300 --> 00:32:47.660
 either

00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:49.200
 and it's

00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:49.680
 also not

00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:49.940
 something

00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:50.279
 that you're

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:50.840
 just born

00:32:50.840 --> 00:32:51.220
 with

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:52.500
 it's not

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:53.140
 a natural

00:32:53.140 --> 00:32:53.820
 trait

00:32:53.820 --> 00:32:55.640
 but this

00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:56.580
 is a huge

00:32:56.580 --> 00:32:57.120
 distinguishing

00:32:57.120 --> 00:32:57.620
 character

00:32:57.620 --> 00:32:58.360
 despite all

00:32:58.360 --> 00:32:58.880
 of David's

00:32:58.880 --> 00:32:59.200
 son

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.660
 and failures

00:33:00.660 --> 00:33:02.220
 later on

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.920
 Paul addressed

00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:03.440
 the Jews

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:04.340
 in Antioch

00:33:04.340 --> 00:33:05.340
 in Acts

00:33:05.340 --> 00:33:05.779
 13

00:33:05.779 --> 00:33:07.200
 and he said

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:08.000
 he raised

00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:08.560
 up David

00:33:08.560 --> 00:33:09.060
 to be their

00:33:09.060 --> 00:33:09.500
 king

00:33:09.500 --> 00:33:10.560
 of whom

00:33:10.560 --> 00:33:11.160
 he testified

00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:11.779
 and said

00:33:11.779 --> 00:33:12.560
 I have found

00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:13.240
 in David

00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:13.700
 the son

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:14.200
 of Jesse

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:15.440
 a man

00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.299
 after my

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.920
 own heart

00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:17.840
 who will

00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:18.500
 do all

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:19.320
 my will

00:33:19.320 --> 00:33:21.039
 so what

00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:21.340
 on earth

00:33:21.340 --> 00:33:21.620
 does it

00:33:21.620 --> 00:33:22.059
 mean again

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.519
 to be a

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:22.980
 man or

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.360
 woman

00:33:23.360 --> 00:33:24.860
 after God's

00:33:24.860 --> 00:33:25.420
 own heart

00:33:25.420 --> 00:33:27.160
 well

00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:29.620
 after hearing

00:33:29.620 --> 00:33:30.140
 a lot of

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:30.460
 bad

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:31.080
 reading a lot

00:33:31.080 --> 00:33:31.420
 of I didn't

00:33:31.420 --> 00:33:31.980
 think helpful

00:33:31.980 --> 00:33:32.559
 things

00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:33.920
 reading some

00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:34.299
 of the old

00:33:34.299 --> 00:33:34.900
 dead guys

00:33:34.900 --> 00:33:35.380
 looking at

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:36.000
 the language

00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.140
 I'm going

00:33:38.140 --> 00:33:38.640
 to define

00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:38.860
 it

00:33:38.860 --> 00:33:39.500
 it's just

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:40.220
 very simple

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.820
 foundation

00:33:40.820 --> 00:33:42.380
 this way

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:44.160
 a man

00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:44.539
 or woman

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.140
 after God's

00:33:45.140 --> 00:33:45.620
 own heart

00:33:45.620 --> 00:33:46.120
 is

00:33:46.120 --> 00:33:46.620
 one

00:33:46.620 --> 00:33:47.000
 whose

00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:47.400
 deepest

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:47.920
 heart

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.720
 desires

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.360
 and longings

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:50.740
 are for

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:51.420
 his God

00:33:51.420 --> 00:33:52.900
 shown

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:53.640
 or revealed

00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:54.180
 in how

00:33:54.180 --> 00:33:54.620
 one

00:33:54.620 --> 00:33:55.340
 lives

00:33:55.340 --> 00:33:57.360
 one

00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:57.740
 whose

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:58.460
 deepest

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:58.880
 heart

00:33:58.880 --> 00:33:59.460
 desires

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:00.220
 and longings

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.700
 are for

00:34:00.700 --> 00:34:01.420
 his God

00:34:01.420 --> 00:34:02.600
 shown

00:34:02.600 --> 00:34:03.220
 or revealed

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:03.640
 in how

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:04.020
 one

00:34:04.020 --> 00:34:04.680
 lives

00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:05.900
 alright

00:34:05.900 --> 00:34:06.480
 so remember

00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:07.180
 David wasn't

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.540
 perfect

00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:07.860
 he had

00:34:07.860 --> 00:34:08.360
 massive

00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:08.820
 sins

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:09.180
 we'll read

00:34:09.180 --> 00:34:09.440
 about

00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:09.860
 later

00:34:09.860 --> 00:34:10.920
 but this

00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:11.280
 is how

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:11.579
 God

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:11.920
 chose

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:12.500
 to define

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:12.760
 him

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:13.900
 and have

00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:14.059
 him

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:14.539
 remembered

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:14.920
 by

00:34:14.920 --> 00:34:16.199
 as one

00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:16.519
 who

00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:17.219
 was

00:34:17.219 --> 00:34:17.619
 after

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:17.880
 his

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:18.059
 own

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.480
 heart

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:19.639
 and this

00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:20.059
 just really

00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:20.619
 means that the

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:21.500
 overall bent

00:34:21.500 --> 00:34:21.920
 of his

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:22.300
 heart

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:23.659
 was towards

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:24.360
 God

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:25.179
 that his

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:26.019
 great love

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:27.159
 and desire

00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:27.619
 for God

00:34:27.619 --> 00:34:27.980
 was the

00:34:27.980 --> 00:34:28.460
 overall

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:29.139
 trajectory

00:34:29.139 --> 00:34:30.340
 of his

00:34:30.340 --> 00:34:30.860
 life

00:34:30.860 --> 00:34:32.779
 Jonathan Edwards

00:34:32.779 --> 00:34:33.079
 wrote

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:33.519
 heart

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.579
 heart

00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:33.579


00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:33.579


00:34:33.579 --> 00:34:33.980
 of a

00:34:33.980 --> 00:34:34.420
 man

00:34:34.420 --> 00:34:35.299
 cannot

00:34:35.299 --> 00:34:35.579
 be

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:35.880
 brought

00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:36.219
 to a

00:34:36.219 --> 00:34:36.619
 higher

00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:37.500
 excellency

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.940
 than to

00:34:38.940 --> 00:34:39.159
 have

00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:39.599
 delight

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:40.279
 in God

00:34:40.279 --> 00:34:41.619
 and

00:34:41.619 --> 00:34:42.500
 complacency

00:34:42.500 --> 00:34:43.599
 or satisfaction

00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:44.699
 in the

00:34:44.699 --> 00:34:45.139
 divine

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.880
 excellency

00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:46.699
 and glory

00:34:46.699 --> 00:34:47.699
 and this

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:47.940
 is what

00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:48.219
 David

00:34:48.219 --> 00:34:48.679
 wanted

00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.119
 he wanted

00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:49.360
 to be

00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:49.779
 in God's

00:34:49.779 --> 00:34:50.119
 presence

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:50.599
 he wanted

00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:51.719
 to behold

00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.400
 God's

00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:52.880
 glory

00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.519
 so this

00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:54.880
 is a

00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:55.420
 zealous

00:34:55.420 --> 00:34:56.679
 spiritual

00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:57.259
 passion

00:34:57.259 --> 00:34:58.000
 for God

00:34:58.000 --> 00:34:59.059
 whose

00:34:59.059 --> 00:34:59.639
 life

00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:00.019
 is in

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:00.480
 harmony

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:01.980
 with

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.380
 God's

00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:02.760
 heart

00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:04.320
 very

00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:04.780
 simple

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:05.139
 just

00:35:05.139 --> 00:35:05.579
 follow me

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:05.900
 it just

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.420
 means like

00:35:06.420 --> 00:35:07.699
 one that

00:35:07.699 --> 00:35:08.400
 loves

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:09.079
 what God

00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:09.519
 loves

00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:09.960
 one that

00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:10.360
 hates

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:11.559
 what God

00:35:11.559 --> 00:35:12.000
 hates

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:13.360
 one that

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:14.079
 gets angry

00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:14.739
 about what

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:15.079
 God

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:15.820
 gets angry

00:35:15.820 --> 00:35:16.159
 over

00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:17.780
 one who

00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:19.099
 loves the

00:35:19.099 --> 00:35:19.579
 purposes

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:20.460
 of God

00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:21.739
 his heart

00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:22.059
 is in

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.539
 agreement

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:22.940
 and in

00:35:22.940 --> 00:35:23.760
 one accord

00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:24.659
 with God

00:35:24.659 --> 00:35:26.019
 that's what

00:35:26.019 --> 00:35:26.639
 we're talking

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:27.079
 about here

00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:27.599
 his heart

00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:28.079
 beats

00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:28.719
 with God

00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.039
 David

00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.420
 wrote in

00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:32.000
 Psalm 27

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:32.420
 he says

00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:33.159
 one thing

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:35.039
 think about

00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:35.339
 all the

00:35:35.339 --> 00:35:35.900
 times you

00:35:35.900 --> 00:35:36.219
 pray

00:35:36.219 --> 00:35:36.539
 and ask

00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:36.779
 God

00:35:36.779 --> 00:35:37.199
 for things

00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:37.960
 one thing

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:39.099
 have I

00:35:39.099 --> 00:35:39.440
 asked

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:39.759
 of the

00:35:39.759 --> 00:35:40.019
 Lord

00:35:40.019 --> 00:35:40.299
 that I

00:35:40.299 --> 00:35:40.460
 would

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:40.819
 seek

00:35:40.819 --> 00:35:41.279
 after

00:35:41.279 --> 00:35:42.219
 that I

00:35:42.219 --> 00:35:42.360
 may

00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:42.739
 dwell

00:35:42.739 --> 00:35:43.000
 in the

00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:43.259
 house

00:35:43.259 --> 00:35:43.539
 of the

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:43.759
 Lord

00:35:43.759 --> 00:35:44.279
 all my

00:35:44.279 --> 00:35:44.639
 days

00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:44.940
 of my

00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:45.319
 life

00:35:45.319 --> 00:35:46.279
 to gaze

00:35:46.279 --> 00:35:46.559
 upon

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:46.779
 the

00:35:46.779 --> 00:35:47.039
 beauty

00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:47.360
 of the

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:47.599
 Lord

00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:47.900
 and to

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:48.380
 inquire

00:35:48.380 --> 00:35:48.659
 in his

00:35:48.659 --> 00:35:49.000
 temple

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:51.000
 so how

00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:51.259
 would you

00:35:51.259 --> 00:35:51.639
 finish

00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:52.259
 that sentence

00:35:52.259 --> 00:35:52.679
 or start

00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:53.179
 that sentence

00:35:53.179 --> 00:35:53.799
 one thing

00:35:53.799 --> 00:35:54.139
 I have

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:54.579
 desired

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:54.799
 the

00:35:54.799 --> 00:35:55.139
 Lord

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:56.259
 that which

00:35:56.259 --> 00:35:56.679
 I seek

00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:57.079
 after

00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:58.519
 fill in

00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:58.920
 the blank

00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:00.319
 and in

00:36:00.319 --> 00:36:01.039
 that answer

00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:03.299
 reveals much

00:36:03.299 --> 00:36:03.739
 about the

00:36:03.739 --> 00:36:04.340
 choices and

00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:05.139
 priorities about

00:36:05.139 --> 00:36:05.639
 the way we

00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:06.920
 live and

00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:07.519
 respond to

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:07.940
 things

00:36:07.940 --> 00:36:09.519
 David's answer

00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:10.420
 reveals why

00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:11.360
 God says

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:12.599
 this man's

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:13.239
 heart beats

00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:14.440
 after mine

00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.239
 so what does

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:16.619
 that look

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:16.980
 like

00:36:16.980 --> 00:36:18.420
 and again

00:36:18.420 --> 00:36:19.159
 it's shown

00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:19.880
 in how we

00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:20.559
 live and

00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:21.059
 how that's

00:36:21.059 --> 00:36:21.840
 manifested

00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:23.600
 this joyful

00:36:23.600 --> 00:36:24.240
 obedience

00:36:24.240 --> 00:36:25.079
 to God's

00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:25.519
 commands

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:25.860
 to be

00:36:25.860 --> 00:36:26.380
 satisfied

00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:27.579
 in God

00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:27.980
 himself

00:36:27.980 --> 00:36:28.519
 not just

00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:29.000
 the gifts

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:29.440
 that God

00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:29.900
 gives us

00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:30.320
 or the good

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:30.740
 things he

00:36:30.740 --> 00:36:31.340
 blesses us

00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:31.660
 with

00:36:31.660 --> 00:36:32.680
 but each

00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.019
 gift

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:33.460
 makes you

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:33.940
 love the

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:34.240
 giver

00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:35.480
 more

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.700
 a posture

00:36:36.700 --> 00:36:37.400
 of gratitude

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:38.460
 and thankfulness

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:39.280
 towards God

00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:41.340
 so loving

00:36:41.340 --> 00:36:41.600
 him

00:36:41.600 --> 00:36:41.900
 it's really

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:42.539
 just a picture

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:43.059
 of the great

00:36:43.059 --> 00:36:43.640
 commandment

00:36:43.640 --> 00:36:44.039
 to love

00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:44.360
 him

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:45.340
 while our

00:36:45.340 --> 00:36:45.620
 heart

00:36:45.620 --> 00:36:46.019
 soul

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:46.579
 mind

00:36:46.579 --> 00:36:47.920
 and strength

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:50.159
 really quickly

00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.300
 I think it's

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:52.940
 important to

00:36:52.940 --> 00:36:53.519
 say this

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:55.639
 we're not

00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:56.599
 talking about

00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:58.539
 just passionate

00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:00.159
 mere emotionalism

00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:00.680
 okay

00:37:00.680 --> 00:37:02.380
 being passed

00:37:02.380 --> 00:37:03.440
 off as true

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:04.619
 spiritual passion

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:06.780
 we're talking

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.539
 about passion

00:37:07.539 --> 00:37:08.119
 that's rooted

00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:08.940
 in the knowledge

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:09.659
 of the truth

00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:11.039
 the Bible

00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:11.860
 warns such a

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.180
 person

00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:13.039
 desire without

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.099
 knowledge is not

00:37:14.099 --> 00:37:14.579
 good

00:37:14.579 --> 00:37:16.519
 Proverbs 19

00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:16.920
 2

00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:18.059
 on the other

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:18.539
 hand we don't

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:19.000
 want to swing

00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:19.500
 the pendulum

00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:19.940
 the other

00:37:19.940 --> 00:37:20.400
 direction

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:21.840
 and just say

00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:22.240
 hey we want

00:37:22.240 --> 00:37:22.599
 to get away

00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:22.920
 from the

00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:23.340
 rah rah

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:23.680
 rah

00:37:23.680 --> 00:37:24.740
 emotional crowd

00:37:24.740 --> 00:37:26.039
 like we just

00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:26.420
 want to be

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:26.900
 thinkers

00:37:26.900 --> 00:37:28.300
 alone

00:37:28.300 --> 00:37:30.139
 want to

00:37:30.139 --> 00:37:30.840
 ignore

00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:31.680
 emotion

00:37:31.680 --> 00:37:32.300
 and push

00:37:32.300 --> 00:37:32.780
 back

00:37:32.780 --> 00:37:33.159
 against

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:33.760
 emotion

00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:35.639
 men

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:36.940
 particularly

00:37:36.940 --> 00:37:38.220
 you have

00:37:38.220 --> 00:37:38.700
 emotions

00:37:38.700 --> 00:37:39.280
 I don't care

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:40.099
 how tough

00:37:40.099 --> 00:37:40.539
 or how

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.139
 you try

00:37:41.139 --> 00:37:41.539
 not to

00:37:41.539 --> 00:37:41.940
 show them

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:42.940
 you have

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:43.180
 them

00:37:43.180 --> 00:37:44.440
 and they're

00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:44.860
 either going

00:37:44.860 --> 00:37:45.420
 to control

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:46.200
 you or

00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:46.619
 you can

00:37:46.619 --> 00:37:47.099
 learn to

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:47.460
 control

00:37:47.460 --> 00:37:47.839
 them

00:37:47.839 --> 00:37:48.439
 with God's

00:37:48.439 --> 00:37:48.699
 help

00:37:48.699 --> 00:37:49.919
 that's just

00:37:49.919 --> 00:37:50.579
 how it is

00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:53.019
 and so we

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.019


00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.299
 we kind of

00:37:53.299 --> 00:37:54.119
 push back

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:54.939
 against both

00:37:54.939 --> 00:37:55.960
 camps

00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:57.599
 a little bit

00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:58.339
 so we're

00:37:58.339 --> 00:37:58.839
 talking about

00:37:58.839 --> 00:37:59.699
 right thinking

00:37:59.699 --> 00:38:00.379
 and right

00:38:00.379 --> 00:38:00.919
 feeling

00:38:00.919 --> 00:38:02.279
 in accordance

00:38:02.279 --> 00:38:02.779
 with that

00:38:02.779 --> 00:38:04.019
 but see

00:38:04.019 --> 00:38:04.839
 the overall

00:38:04.839 --> 00:38:06.179
 it means

00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:06.699
 to ask this

00:38:06.699 --> 00:38:07.079
 question

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.719
 what was it

00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:08.299
 about David

00:38:08.299 --> 00:38:08.699
 like why

00:38:08.699 --> 00:38:09.079
 did God

00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:09.500
 love him

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:10.019
 so much

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:11.279
 I gotta

00:38:11.279 --> 00:38:11.679
 put things

00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:12.279
 in perspective

00:38:12.279 --> 00:38:13.960
 very clearly

00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:14.960
 it says

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.399
 in 1st

00:38:15.399 --> 00:38:15.679
 Samuel

00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:16.179
 16

00:38:16.179 --> 00:38:16.559
 18

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:18.379
 that

00:38:18.379 --> 00:38:19.239
 Saul's

00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:19.599
 servant

00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:20.500
 he makes

00:38:20.500 --> 00:38:20.799
 all these

00:38:20.799 --> 00:38:20.940
 things

00:38:20.940 --> 00:38:21.239
 he's a

00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:21.599
 man of

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:21.899
 war

00:38:21.899 --> 00:38:22.219
 he's

00:38:22.219 --> 00:38:23.079
 skillful

00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:24.099
 etc

00:38:24.099 --> 00:38:24.539
 but then

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:24.919
 he says

00:38:24.919 --> 00:38:25.599
 the Lord

00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:26.980
 is with

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.419
 him

00:38:27.419 --> 00:38:28.579
 that's

00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:28.879
 like the

00:38:28.879 --> 00:38:29.480
 distinguishing

00:38:29.480 --> 00:38:30.399
 thing here

00:38:30.399 --> 00:38:31.379
 David

00:38:31.379 --> 00:38:32.239
 loved God

00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:32.980
 so much

00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:33.739
 because God

00:38:33.739 --> 00:38:34.500
 loved David

00:38:34.500 --> 00:38:35.119
 first

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.119
 and was

00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:36.659
 with him

00:38:36.659 --> 00:38:37.019
 and had

00:38:37.019 --> 00:38:37.460
 chosen

00:38:37.460 --> 00:38:37.899
 him

00:38:37.899 --> 00:38:39.339
 first

00:38:39.339 --> 00:38:40.219
 or excuse me

00:38:40.219 --> 00:38:41.439
 Psalm 78

00:38:41.439 --> 00:38:42.839
 verse 70

00:38:42.839 --> 00:38:43.559
 this is a

00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:44.099
 characteristic

00:38:44.099 --> 00:38:45.019
 because we

00:38:45.019 --> 00:38:46.199
 can't fall

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:46.599
 into this

00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:47.099
 trap of like

00:38:47.099 --> 00:38:47.579
 David was

00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:47.939
 just this

00:38:47.939 --> 00:38:48.819
 awesome guy

00:38:48.819 --> 00:38:49.679
 and God

00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:49.919
 said you

00:38:49.919 --> 00:38:50.279
 know what

00:38:50.279 --> 00:38:50.639
 I'm just

00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:51.119
 so moved

00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:51.619
 by David

00:38:51.619 --> 00:38:51.959
 I'm gonna

00:38:51.959 --> 00:38:52.579
 do something

00:38:52.579 --> 00:38:53.639
 David was

00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:54.359
 a terrible

00:38:54.359 --> 00:38:54.719
 sinner

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:55.219
 just like

00:38:55.219 --> 00:38:55.599
 us

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:56.719
 but God

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.299
 chose

00:38:57.299 --> 00:38:57.639
 out of

00:38:57.639 --> 00:38:58.219
 his grace

00:38:58.219 --> 00:38:59.919
 Psalm 78

00:38:59.919 --> 00:39:00.619
 says he

00:39:00.619 --> 00:39:01.139
 chose

00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:01.439
 or he

00:39:01.439 --> 00:39:01.919
 elected

00:39:01.919 --> 00:39:02.500
 David

00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:03.859
 his servant

00:39:03.859 --> 00:39:05.339
 and took

00:39:05.339 --> 00:39:05.759
 him from

00:39:05.759 --> 00:39:06.199
 the sheep

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:06.679
 folds

00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:07.399
 from

00:39:07.399 --> 00:39:07.879
 following

00:39:07.879 --> 00:39:08.719
 the nursing

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:09.259
 ooze

00:39:09.260 --> 00:39:10.320
 he brought

00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:10.900
 him to

00:39:10.900 --> 00:39:11.320
 shepherd

00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:11.740
 Jacob

00:39:11.740 --> 00:39:12.440
 his people

00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:13.020
 Israel

00:39:13.020 --> 00:39:13.820
 his inheritance

00:39:13.820 --> 00:39:15.060
 so out

00:39:15.060 --> 00:39:15.540
 of sovereign

00:39:15.540 --> 00:39:16.140
 grace

00:39:16.140 --> 00:39:17.520
 God

00:39:17.520 --> 00:39:17.880
 chose

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.260
 David

00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:19.020
 and used

00:39:19.020 --> 00:39:19.300
 him

00:39:19.300 --> 00:39:20.180
 and anointed

00:39:20.180 --> 00:39:20.560
 him

00:39:20.560 --> 00:39:21.920
 so again

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:23.220
 a picture

00:39:23.220 --> 00:39:24.440
 of what

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:24.840
 it means

00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:25.300
 to be a

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:25.800
 person

00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:26.320
 after

00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:28.220
 God's

00:39:28.220 --> 00:39:28.560
 own

00:39:28.560 --> 00:39:29.000
 heart

00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:30.280
 so we

00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:30.660
 see that

00:39:30.660 --> 00:39:31.140
 he was a

00:39:31.140 --> 00:39:31.500
 man after

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:31.840
 God's

00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:31.960
 own

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:32.260
 heart

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:32.560
 because

00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:33.040
 God's

00:39:33.040 --> 00:39:33.320
 heart

00:39:33.320 --> 00:39:33.800
 was with

00:39:33.800 --> 00:39:34.140
 him

00:39:34.140 --> 00:39:35.220
 he chose

00:39:35.220 --> 00:39:35.540
 him

00:39:35.540 --> 00:39:36.480
 out of

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:36.620
 his

00:39:36.620 --> 00:39:37.040
 grace

00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:38.259
 so

00:39:38.259 --> 00:39:38.619
 remember

00:39:38.619 --> 00:39:39.179
 just a

00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:39.360
 few

00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:40.000
 characteristics

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:40.440
 here

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:41.599
 and we're

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:42.179
 getting close

00:39:42.179 --> 00:39:42.719
 on time

00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:42.960
 but

00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:44.099
 to remember

00:39:44.099 --> 00:39:45.360
 this means

00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:45.920
 ones whose

00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:46.259
 deepest

00:39:46.259 --> 00:39:46.779
 heart

00:39:46.779 --> 00:39:47.380
 desires

00:39:47.380 --> 00:39:48.119
 and longings

00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:48.840
 are for

00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.099
 his

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:49.519
 God

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:50.759
 all right

00:39:50.759 --> 00:39:51.059
 scripture

00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:51.539
 tells us

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:52.199
 much about

00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:52.739
 the heart

00:39:52.739 --> 00:39:53.320
 of David

00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:54.739
 all right

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:55.279
 so ask

00:39:55.279 --> 00:39:55.800
 God to

00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:56.119
 give you

00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:56.559
 a heart

00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:57.460
 like this

00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:57.779
 this is

00:39:57.779 --> 00:39:58.440
 just four

00:39:58.440 --> 00:39:59.940
 characteristics

00:39:59.940 --> 00:40:00.400
 so this

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:00.699
 could be

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:01.320
 application

00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:01.719
 but

00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:02.539
 first of

00:40:02.539 --> 00:40:02.860
 all it

00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:03.079
 means

00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:03.659
 integrity

00:40:03.659 --> 00:40:04.359
 of heart

00:40:04.359 --> 00:40:05.679
 it says

00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:06.039
 in first

00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:06.319
 kings

00:40:06.319 --> 00:40:06.699
 nine

00:40:06.699 --> 00:40:07.119
 four

00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:07.599
 David

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:07.940
 your

00:40:07.940 --> 00:40:08.379
 father

00:40:08.379 --> 00:40:09.460
 walked

00:40:09.460 --> 00:40:09.699
 with

00:40:09.699 --> 00:40:10.219
 integrity

00:40:10.219 --> 00:40:10.619
 of

00:40:10.619 --> 00:40:11.119
 heart

00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:12.079
 and

00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:12.920
 uprightness

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:13.299
 doing

00:40:13.299 --> 00:40:13.779
 all

00:40:13.779 --> 00:40:14.259
 according

00:40:14.259 --> 00:40:14.579
 that

00:40:14.579 --> 00:40:14.940
 I

00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:15.139
 had

00:40:15.139 --> 00:40:15.599
 commanded

00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:15.980
 him

00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:16.679
 in

00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:16.940
 keeping

00:40:16.940 --> 00:40:17.239
 my

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:17.819
 statutes

00:40:17.819 --> 00:40:18.059
 and

00:40:18.059 --> 00:40:18.480
 rules

00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:20.039
 integrity

00:40:20.039 --> 00:40:20.619
 in this

00:40:20.619 --> 00:40:21.059
 context

00:40:21.059 --> 00:40:21.579
 just simply

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:22.119
 means

00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:23.480
 a

00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:24.079
 being

00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:24.719
 complete

00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:24.920
 or

00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:25.879
 undivided

00:40:25.879 --> 00:40:27.000
 all right

00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:28.079
 in

00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:28.819
 contrast

00:40:28.819 --> 00:40:29.819
 to

00:40:29.819 --> 00:40:30.259
 David's

00:40:30.259 --> 00:40:30.539
 heart

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:31.039
 Solomon

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:31.779
 it says

00:40:31.779 --> 00:40:32.519
 when he

00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:32.940
 was old

00:40:32.940 --> 00:40:34.179
 turned away

00:40:34.179 --> 00:40:34.639
 from the

00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:34.920
 Lord

00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:35.700
 it says

00:40:35.700 --> 00:40:36.320
 his heart

00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:36.679
 turned

00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:37.200
 after

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:37.579
 other

00:40:37.579 --> 00:40:38.079
 gods

00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:39.000
 because

00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:39.860
 his heart

00:40:39.860 --> 00:40:40.380
 was not

00:40:40.380 --> 00:40:41.019
 fully

00:40:41.019 --> 00:40:42.380
 or wholly

00:40:42.380 --> 00:40:43.139
 gods

00:40:43.139 --> 00:40:43.780
 like his

00:40:43.780 --> 00:40:44.079
 father

00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:44.639
 David

00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:46.099
 so meaning

00:40:46.099 --> 00:40:46.400
 that

00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:47.519
 the idols

00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:47.900
 in our

00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:48.179
 hearts

00:40:48.179 --> 00:40:48.720
 can chop

00:40:48.720 --> 00:40:49.019
 up and

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:49.360
 divide

00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:49.880
 our heart

00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:50.880
 so that

00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:51.240
 it's not

00:40:51.240 --> 00:40:51.599
 whole

00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:52.079
 before

00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:52.500
 God

00:40:52.500 --> 00:40:53.800
 so do

00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:54.119
 you have

00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:54.519
 a heart

00:40:54.519 --> 00:40:54.940
 marked

00:40:54.940 --> 00:40:55.220
 by

00:40:55.220 --> 00:40:55.760
 integrity

00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:56.480
 or wholeness

00:40:56.480 --> 00:40:56.980
 towards

00:40:56.980 --> 00:40:57.460
 God

00:40:57.460 --> 00:40:58.780
 or have

00:40:58.780 --> 00:40:59.139
 you given

00:40:59.139 --> 00:40:59.360
 it

00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:00.280
 to idols

00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:01.220
 that you

00:41:01.220 --> 00:41:01.820
 love more

00:41:01.820 --> 00:41:03.280
 so integrity

00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:03.820
 of heart

00:41:03.820 --> 00:41:05.120
 openness

00:41:05.120 --> 00:41:05.960
 of heart

00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:06.320
 is the

00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:06.559
 second

00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:06.920
 one

00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:07.940
 David

00:41:07.940 --> 00:41:08.320
 prayed

00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:08.500
 in

00:41:08.500 --> 00:41:08.860
 psalm

00:41:08.860 --> 00:41:09.420

00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:09.920
 vindicate

00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:10.200

 my

00:41:11.780 --> 00:41:12.260
 integrity

00:41:12.260 --> 00:41:13.320
 and I

00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:13.440
 have

00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:13.840
 trusted

00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:14.000
 in

00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:14.160
 the

 lord

00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:14.660
 without

00:41:14.660 --> 00:41:15.240
 wavering

00:41:15.240 --> 00:41:15.680
 prove

00:41:15.680 --> 00:41:15.880
 me

00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:16.080
 oh

00:41:16.080 --> 00:41:16.300
 lord

00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:16.460
 and

00:41:16.460 --> 00:41:16.700
 try

00:41:16.700 --> 00:41:16.960
 me

00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:17.780
 test

00:41:17.780 --> 00:41:18.140
 my

00:41:18.140 --> 00:41:18.620
 heart

00:41:18.620 --> 00:41:19.980
 and

 mind

00:41:20.620 --> 00:41:22.059
 so

00:41:22.059 --> 00:41:22.539
 meaning

00:41:22.539 --> 00:41:22.800
 his

00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:23.059
 heart

00:41:23.059 --> 00:41:23.260
 was

00:41:23.260 --> 00:41:23.720
 open

00:41:23.720 --> 00:41:23.920
 and

00:41:26.140 --> 00:41:26.260
 it

00:41:26.260 --> 00:41:26.480
 sounds

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:26.840
 silly

00:41:26.840 --> 00:41:27.039
 but

 some

 God

00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:29.700
 doesn't

 done

00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:23.519
 but

00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:26.179
 in

00:43:26.179 --> 00:43:26.360
 our

00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:26.639
 text

00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:27.139
 today

00:43:27.139 --> 00:43:28.300
 what

00:43:28.300 --> 00:43:28.400
 do

00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:28.539
 we

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:28.880
 learn

00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:29.139
 like

00:43:29.139 --> 00:43:29.420
 what

00:43:29.420 --> 00:43:29.679
 is

00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:30.079
 David

00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:30.559
 pointing

00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:31.139
 forward

00:43:31.139 --> 00:43:31.699
 to

00:43:31.699 --> 00:43:32.820
 so

00:43:32.820 --> 00:43:33.099
 think

00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:33.320
 on

00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:33.460
 it

00:43:33.460 --> 00:43:33.800
 David

00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:35.019
 was

00:43:35.019 --> 00:43:35.860
 contrasted

00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:36.019
 with

00:43:36.019 --> 00:43:36.159
 the

00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:36.519
 people

00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:37.239
 looking

00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:37.480
 on

00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:37.639
 his

00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:38.000
 outward

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:38.820
 appearance

00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:40.000
 we

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:40.199
 tend

00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:40.360
 to

00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:40.780
 overlook

00:43:40.780 --> 00:43:41.360
 God's

00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:41.679
 wonders

00:43:41.679 --> 00:43:42.059
 all the

00:43:42.059 --> 00:43:42.320
 time

00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:42.539
 because

00:43:42.539 --> 00:43:42.800
 that

00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:43.000
 is

00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:43.159
 our

00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:43.599
 focus

00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:44.000
 instead

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:44.280
 of

00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:44.480
 the

00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:44.800
 heart

00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:45.900
 so

00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:46.199
 this

00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:46.940
 looks

00:43:46.940 --> 00:43:47.460
 forward

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:48.860
 and

00:43:48.860 --> 00:43:49.500
 prefigures

00:43:49.500 --> 00:43:49.699
 the

00:43:49.699 --> 00:43:50.000
 one

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:50.199
 who

00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:50.460
 would

00:43:50.460 --> 00:43:50.840
 come

00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:51.099
 in

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:51.579
 David's

00:43:51.579 --> 00:43:52.019

00:43:55.019 --> 00:43:56.380
 as

00:43:56.380 --> 00:43:56.519
 we're

 our

00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:13.099
 griefs

00:44:13.099 --> 00:44:13.199
 and

00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:13.460
 carried

00:44:13.460 --> 00:44:13.659
 our

00:44:13.659 --> 00:44:14.159
 sorrows

00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:14.380
 yet

00:44:14.380 --> 00:44:14.599
 we

00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:15.039
 esteemed

00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:15.219
 him

00:44:15.219 --> 00:44:15.719
 stricken

00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:16.960
 smitten

00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:17.579
 by

00:44:17.579 --> 00:44:18.019
 God

00:44:18.019 --> 00:44:18.199
 and

00:44:18.199 --> 00:44:18.800
 afflicted

00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:19.940
 so

00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:20.380
 Jesus

00:44:20.380 --> 00:44:21.099
 our

00:44:21.099 --> 00:44:21.539
 Lord

00:44:21.539 --> 00:44:22.460
 was

00:44:22.460 --> 00:44:22.940
 not

00:44:22.940 --> 00:44:23.900
 the

00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:24.320
 Messiah

00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:24.579
 that

00:44:24.579 --> 00:44:24.960
 most

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:25.099
 of

00:44:25.099 --> 00:44:25.260
 those

00:44:25.260 --> 00:44:25.619
 people

00:44:25.619 --> 00:44:25.900
 were

00:44:25.900 --> 00:44:26.199
 looking

00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:26.559
 for

00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:27.559
 they

00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:27.720
 were

00:44:27.720 --> 00:44:28.039
 looking

00:44:28.039 --> 00:44:28.539
 for

00:44:28.539 --> 00:44:28.760
 an

00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:29.199
 outward

00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:29.960
 impressive

00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:30.960
 warrior

00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:31.420
 king

00:44:31.420 --> 00:44:31.940
 physically

00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:33.199
 strong

00:44:33.199 --> 00:44:33.460
 that

00:44:33.460 --> 00:44:33.619
 would

00:44:33.619 --> 00:44:33.980
 unite

00:44:33.980 --> 00:44:34.179
 the

00:44:34.179 --> 00:44:34.519
 people

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:36.360
 drive out

00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:36.539
 the

00:44:36.539 --> 00:44:36.840
 Roman

00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:37.460
 invaders

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:37.720
 and

00:44:37.720 --> 00:44:38.460
 reestablish

00:44:38.460 --> 00:44:39.460
 national

00:44:39.460 --> 00:44:40.240
 pride

00:44:40.240 --> 00:44:40.460
 and

00:44:40.460 --> 00:44:41.000
 respect

00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:44.360
 here

00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:44.360


00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:44.360


00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:44.360


00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:45.579
 great

00:44:45.579 --> 00:44:45.900
 again

00:44:45.900 --> 00:44:46.179
 is

00:44:46.179 --> 00:44:46.340
 what

00:44:46.340 --> 00:44:46.960
 they

00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:47.079
 were

00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:47.539
 expecting

00:44:47.539 --> 00:44:49.179
 that

00:44:49.179 --> 00:44:49.760
 is

00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:49.760


00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:49.760


00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:49.760


00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:49.980
 expecting

00:44:49.980 --> 00:44:50.539
 honestly

00:44:50.539 --> 00:44:51.579
 however

00:44:51.579 --> 00:44:52.340
 God

00:44:52.340 --> 00:44:52.679
 has

00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:53.199
 chosen

00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:53.500
 his

00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:53.880
 own

00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:54.360
 agenda

00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:55.780
 not

00:44:55.780 --> 00:44:56.179
 man's

00:44:56.179 --> 00:44:56.519
 agenda

00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:56.800
 and he

00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:57.059
 sent

00:44:57.059 --> 00:44:57.280
 his

00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:57.659
 son

00:44:57.659 --> 00:44:58.159
 knowing

00:44:58.159 --> 00:44:58.920
 that

00:44:58.920 --> 00:44:59.039
 he

00:44:59.039 --> 00:44:59.260
 would

00:44:59.260 --> 00:44:59.460
 be

00:44:59.460 --> 00:45:00.059
 despised

00:45:00.059 --> 00:45:00.179
 and

00:45:00.179 --> 00:45:00.519
 rejected

00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:00.739
 there

00:45:00.739 --> 00:45:00.880
 is

00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:01.199
 nothing

00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:01.400
 in

00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:01.559
 our

00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:01.940
 sinful

00:45:01.940 --> 00:45:02.579
 flesh

00:45:02.579 --> 00:45:03.719
 that

00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:04.119
 was

00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:04.500
 looking

00:45:04.500 --> 00:45:04.820
 upon

00:45:04.820 --> 00:45:05.179
 Jesus

00:45:05.179 --> 00:45:05.440
 with

00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:05.739
 awe

00:45:05.739 --> 00:45:06.920
 nothing

00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:07.380
 no

00:45:07.380 --> 00:45:07.820
 outward

00:45:07.820 --> 00:45:08.380
 glory

00:45:08.380 --> 00:45:08.619
 at

00:45:08.619 --> 00:45:08.880
 all

00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:09.059
 that

00:45:09.059 --> 00:45:09.179
 we

00:45:09.179 --> 00:45:09.320
 would

00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:09.440
 be

00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:09.739
 drawn

00:45:09.739 --> 00:45:09.920
 to

00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:10.159
 him

00:45:11.059 --> 00:45:17.059
 Jesus suffered greatly and was abused internally on our behalf.

00:45:17.779 --> 00:45:18.859
 And he was overlooked.

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:26.659
 God the Father, though, found him beautiful and delighted in him because of who he was.

00:45:27.319 --> 00:45:30.259
 And Christ accomplished our great salvation.

00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:33.039
 Pray with me.

00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:34.039
 God, we're...

00:45:34.039 --> 00:46:04.019
 God, we're...
