WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000
 that you desired these words to be written,

00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:09.060
 that you had these words written in such a way

00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:12.740
 that in every generation and for every people group,

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:14.679
 they could speak to us.

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.420
 They can only do this, Father, because it is ultimately your word.

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:22.280
 And we confess before you, Father,

00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:26.679
 that we cannot understand your word purely by our minds.

00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:30.820
 Father, we know you want us to use the best of our mind,

00:00:31.379 --> 00:00:33.359
 but even the best of our mind is not enough.

00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:36.820
 We need, Father, your Holy Spirit to humble us

00:00:36.820 --> 00:00:39.420
 and create within us a hunger to know your word

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.019
 and to hear your word, to know you and to hear you.

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:45.659
 And, Father, this we ask, that you would so bless us

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:48.840
 that we have a desire to know you and to be known by you

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.500
 and to hear you speak to us and have you speak into our lives.

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.179
 Father, we ask that you would do this at this time.

00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:57.740
 As we open your word.

00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:00.200
 And all this we ask in the name of Jesus,

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:01.899
 your Son and our Savior.

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:02.780
 Amen.

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:04.379
 Please be seated.

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.340
 I might disappoint a lot of you this morning.

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.480
 You might find this sermon boring.

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.359
 It's a very unusual sermon for me.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.159
 It's not one that I do very often.

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.739
 And it's going to be on Psalm 67,

00:01:20.140 --> 00:01:22.200
 and you're going to need your Bibles if you have them.

00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:23.659
 But here's what happened.

00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:27.539
 This is our last Sunday of doing Psalms, at least for a season.

00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.479
 Next Sunday, we go back into the book of Luke,

00:01:30.979 --> 00:01:34.439
 and we'll be doing Luke for quite a long season.

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.219
 And so I, with the other people who've been speaking over the summer

00:01:39.219 --> 00:01:40.099
 in the different Psalms,

00:01:40.179 --> 00:01:42.359
 I asked each of the speakers to pick a Psalm.

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.679
 And I just sort of asked them to not all pick laments

00:01:45.679 --> 00:01:47.239
 or not all pick happy Psalms,

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:48.280
 but have a bit of a variety.

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:50.180
 And after they had picked,

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:53.420
 I've been praying about what two Psalms I would pick.

00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:58.280
 And one of the Psalms I decided that I felt led to preach on

00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.299
 was Psalm 67,

00:01:59.620 --> 00:02:01.180
 which is what we're going to look at in a moment.

00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:04.400
 And the reason I chose Psalm 67,

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:06.280
 I mean, apart from the fact that I was praying

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.740
 and asking God to tell me what it is that we,

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:10.479
 the congregation,

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:12.659
 needed to spend time thinking about and hearing,

00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:15.300
 was I knew a little bit about this Psalm

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.520
 in terms of how it's been important

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.060
 in other generations of Christians.

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:26.039
 that when the English Reformation was going on,

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.479
 and though Thomas Cramner,

00:02:30.620 --> 00:02:32.080
 who ended up being martyred

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:33.939
 as part of the English Reformation,

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.020
 as he was trying to order

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:39.300
 and put together how it is that Christians should worship,

00:02:39.860 --> 00:02:42.060
 not only on Sundays, but throughout the week,

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:43.860
 and he wanted to try to create a means

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:46.180
 by which ordinary people

00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:49.259
 could worship throughout the week,

00:02:49.259 --> 00:02:51.759
 and also how they could worship on Sunday.

00:02:52.699 --> 00:02:54.519
 He was very aware of the fact

00:02:54.519 --> 00:02:56.340
 that throughout Christian history,

00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:58.840
 whenever there were reform movements

00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:00.579
 within the church before the Reformation,

00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.199
 there was always reform movements,

00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:05.179
 and that many of the monastic movements

00:03:05.179 --> 00:03:06.919
 had been part, when they first started,

00:03:07.019 --> 00:03:08.799
 they were part of a Reformation movement

00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:11.199
 within the church to call the church

00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.780
 and call Christian people to pray,

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.180
 that throughout the centuries,

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:17.780
 a psalm,

00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:20.140
 there were several passages of scripture

00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:20.960
 that were important,

00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.419
 and one of those passages of scripture

00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:23.439
 that had been important

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.979
 in earlier reform movements,

00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:27.580
 and whenever people had a heart to pray,

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:29.000
 and one of those psalms that they,

00:03:29.379 --> 00:03:30.860
 one of those passages of scripture

00:03:30.860 --> 00:03:32.159
 that earlier reformers thought

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.020
 was very important was Psalm 67.

00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.680
 And so, if you go back to Cranmer,

00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.219
 and it was important in the Anglican tradition,

00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:41.979
 in Canada,

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.080
 up until 1962,

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.600
 if you were to have done evening prayer,

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:49.040
 you would have found the text of Psalm 67

00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:50.960
 in the evening prayer service.

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:53.540
 And Cranmer just took it out of,

00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.660
 he was aware of the fact

00:03:55.660 --> 00:03:57.240
 that earlier reform movements

00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.120
 saw that this was an important prayer,

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:00.420
 an important psalm,

00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:02.320
 for Christians to pray,

00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:02.980
 and to sing,

00:04:03.100 --> 00:04:03.780
 and to hear,

00:04:03.860 --> 00:04:04.480
 and to think about.

00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.359
 And I knew this about Psalm 67,

00:04:08.359 --> 00:04:09.019
 so I thought,

00:04:09.119 --> 00:04:10.639
 well, we haven't talked about Psalm 67,

00:04:11.179 --> 00:04:13.359
 so I'll pick Psalm 67,

00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:14.639
 and that's what I picked.

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:15.959
 But here's the thing

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:17.500
 which is a bit different about this sermon.

00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.439
 If you come to the church,

00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:20.279
 you know that I,

00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:20.680
 you know,

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:21.839
 I do a sermon,

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:23.719
 and usually there's,

00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:24.060
 like,

00:04:24.159 --> 00:04:25.599
 on the screen there'll be points,

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:26.920
 and I sort of come up,

00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.819
 and I set tension,

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.980
 and I come up to the point,

00:04:29.039 --> 00:04:29.259
 and then,

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:30.579
 and all,

00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.060
 but here's what happened to me this week.

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:35.660
 I sort of had a bit of a struggle

00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:36.939
 with God all week,

00:04:37.459 --> 00:04:37.899
 because,

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:38.259
 you know,

00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:38.620
 I,

00:04:38.620 --> 00:04:40.139
 I don't have Hebrew,

00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:41.639
 so I have to depend upon

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:43.139
 academic commentaries

00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:44.560
 that will help me with the Hebrew,

00:04:44.780 --> 00:04:44.839
 and,

00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.899
 and make sure that I understand the text,

00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:47.180
 and I,

00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:48.740
 I've done all that work all week,

00:04:49.500 --> 00:04:49.759
 but,

00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.540
 what,

00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:53.360
 here's the funny thing,

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:54.000
 that,

00:04:54.840 --> 00:04:56.000
 what kept happening,

00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:57.360
 kept happening to me,

00:04:57.420 --> 00:04:59.060
 is that I wasn't able to think of,

00:04:59.240 --> 00:04:59.259
 like,

00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:00.100
 like,

00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:00.120
 like,

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:00.840
 points,

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.000
 I kept having to,

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:03.399
 pray,

00:05:03.939 --> 00:05:07.860
 now,

00:05:07.939 --> 00:05:08.139
 you see,

00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:09.740
 this is a little bit of an awkward thing,

00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:10.420
 for a sermon,

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:11.100
 because,

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:11.600
 you know,

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.160
 you have to get up,

00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:12.620
 and,

00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:14.060
 and actually sort of have points,

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:14.680
 in a sermon,

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:15.560
 but,

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:17.699
 I couldn't keep thinking of,

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:18.860
 really clear points,

00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:19.560
 I just keep,

00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.519
 kept feeling that I had to pray,

00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:22.500
 Psalm 67,

00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:25.139
 and so,

00:05:25.980 --> 00:05:26.300
 you know,

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:27.120
 me being a,

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:27.720
 a typical,

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:28.439
 uh,

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:29.340
 male Canadian,

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:30.079
 I,

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:30.399
 um,

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.279
 I sort of wanted to maybe,

00:05:31.459 --> 00:05:31.660
 you know,

00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:31.899
 get,

00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:33.699
 try to get the right thing going on,

00:05:33.739 --> 00:05:34.000
 I kept,

00:05:34.159 --> 00:05:34.299
 of course,

00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:34.599
 praying,

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:34.959
 you know,

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:36.339
 I always pray for God's direction,

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:36.859
 guidance,

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.079
 and I'm praying for God's guidance,

00:05:39.159 --> 00:05:39.599
 and direction,

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:39.939
 and,

00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:42.419
 and every time I come and spend time on Psalm 67,

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:43.359
 I keep praying,

00:05:44.359 --> 00:05:44.839
 the Psalm,

00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:46.560
 and trying to figure out how to pray the Psalm,

00:05:46.659 --> 00:05:48.560
 and realizing how I'm not praying the Psalm,

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.259
 and how I have to learn from praying the Psalm,

00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:51.300
 and,

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:52.019
 and then finally,

00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:52.039
 and then finally,

00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:52.800
 I realized that,

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.259
 that I wasn't really to do a proper sermon with you this morning,

00:05:56.259 --> 00:06:03.360
 was that I was to sort of share with you Psalm 67 in such a way that hopefully you would want to pray it with me.

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:04.719
 Amen.

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.680
 So if you have your Bibles,

00:06:08.200 --> 00:06:09.920
 please turn in them to Psalm 67,

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:11.540
 and,

00:06:11.580 --> 00:06:13.020
 and that's what we're just going to do,

00:06:13.060 --> 00:06:15.240
 and if you're not really interested in praying Psalm 67,

00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:15.720
 then I,

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.320
 I guess you can have a little bit of a nap for a period of time,

00:06:18.900 --> 00:06:19.320
 but I'm,

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.880
 not that I'm going to spend the whole time praying,

00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:26.180
 but I'm going to sort of just share sort of how God was teaching me this week about the importance of praying,

00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:26.540
 and,

00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:27.500
 and for some of you,

00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:27.959
 if you,

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:28.280
 if you,

00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:30.400
 if you manage to track with this whole time,

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.939
 you'll hear that every time I prayed this morning,

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.680
 my prayers have been all informed by Psalm 67,

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:37.379
 and,

00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:38.460
 and,

00:06:38.460 --> 00:06:39.480
 and I really actually,

00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:39.819
 I,

00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:40.240
 the,

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.259
 part of the thing I could see about this Psalm is I struggled with it.

00:06:43.579 --> 00:06:44.220
 You know how in,

00:06:44.280 --> 00:06:45.439
 in our modern day,

00:06:45.579 --> 00:06:47.620
 people talk about moral compasses,

00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.840
 often with ethics courses and stuff like that,

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:50.960
 and,

00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:53.060
 and people saying we need ethics in business,

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:54.240
 or ethics in government,

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:55.720
 or ethics in,

00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.280
 in,

00:06:56.280 --> 00:06:57.080
 in the workforce,

00:06:57.080 --> 00:06:58.540
 and people talk about the,

00:06:58.540 --> 00:07:00.080
 the need to have a moral compass,

00:07:00.760 --> 00:07:00.980
 and,

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:06.760
 and I realized that Psalm 67 is a type of moral and spiritual compass that the,

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.840
 the Christians and the church regularly need to have.

00:07:10.460 --> 00:07:12.100
 So I'm going to read all of 67,

00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:13.120
 Psalm 67,

00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:14.220
 it's just seven verses,

00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:15.920
 and then,

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:17.080
 then we'll go back,

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.820
 and we'll sort of look at how we can pray this Psalm.

00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:20.800
 So,

00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:21.900
 Psalm 67,

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:22.940
 if you don't have a Bible,

00:07:23.020 --> 00:07:24.720
 there's always extra Bibles up here at the front,

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:25.560
 and,

00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:25.760
 uh,

00:07:25.760 --> 00:07:27.020
 you're free to have one.

00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:28.420
 And here's how the Psalm goes.

00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:29.500
 Actually,

00:07:29.620 --> 00:07:29.760
 the,

00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:34.240
 the little introduction to the Psalm goes to the choir master with string instruments,

00:07:34.460 --> 00:07:35.000
 a Psalm,

00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:35.940
 a Psalm.

00:07:35.939 --> 00:07:39.259
 May God be gracious to us and bless us,

00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:41.740
 and make his face to shine upon us,

00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:44.199
 that your way may be known on earth,

00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:46.939
 your saving power among all nations.

00:07:46.939 --> 00:07:49.139
 let the peoples praise you,

00:07:49.139 --> 00:07:49.639
 O God,

00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:51.800
 let all the peoples praise you.

00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:54.680
 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.139
 for you judge the peoples with equity,

00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.319
 and guide the nations upon earth.

00:07:59.819 --> 00:08:01.199
 Let the peoples praise you,

00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:01.660
 O God,

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:03.759
 let all the peoples praise you.

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:06.060
 The earth has yielded its increase,

00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:06.860
 God,

00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:07.399
 our God,

00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.240
 shall bless us,

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:09.959
 God shall bless us,

00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.680
 but all the ends of the earth fear you.

00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:14.539
 And,

00:08:14.620 --> 00:08:14.919
 uh,

00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:17.599
 if you were a very old fashioned Anglican at this point in time,

00:08:17.659 --> 00:08:18.019
 you would say,

00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:18.979
 glory be to the Father,

00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:19.659
 and to the Son,

00:08:19.719 --> 00:08:20.560
 and to the Holy Ghost,

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.259
 as it was in the beginning,

00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:23.019
 is now,

00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.060
 and ever shall be,

00:08:24.359 --> 00:08:25.379
 world without end.

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:26.060
 Amen.

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:26.979
 Ha ha.

00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:30.599
 That's just for the closet old Anglicans in the room.

00:08:31.580 --> 00:08:32.580
 So here's the thing.

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:34.879
 I start to try to pray this psalm.

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.560
 May God be gracious to us and bless us,

00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:39.399
 and make his face to shine upon us,

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.440
 that your way may be known on earth,

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.440
 your saving power among all nations,

00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:45.159
 that the peoples praise you,

00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:45.519
 O God,

00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:47.060
 let all the peoples praise you.

00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.680
 And the first thing that I realized was this,

00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.639
 that on one hand,

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:53.500
 God was putting within me,

00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:53.960
 I mean,

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:54.320
 he said,

00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:55.139
 I could really,

00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:55.540
 I mean,

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:57.660
 he wanted me to spend time in the commentaries,

00:08:57.660 --> 00:09:00.580
 he wanted me to spend time studying the psalm,

00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:01.920
 and thinking upon the psalm,

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:02.440
 but I kept,

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:04.019
 I kept having this pressure,

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.279
 that he didn't just want me to,

00:09:05.540 --> 00:09:06.420
 to understand it,

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.420
 he wanted me to pray it.

00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:07.879
 And,

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:09.639
 and so not only while I was sitting there,

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:10.120
 in the,

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:10.840
 in the Starbucks,

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:12.659
 or other places where I was working on the sermon,

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:13.840
 but while I was doing other things,

00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:14.379
 and one of the very,

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:15.440
 very first things I,

00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:16.300
 I realized,

00:09:16.420 --> 00:09:18.700
 is that it was hard for me to pray the psalm,

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.240
 because I kept trying to think of what I wanted to say,

00:09:21.300 --> 00:09:23.180
 rather than remembering the psalm.

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:26.100
 And it,

00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:28.460
 it was as if God was speaking into my life,

00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:29.080
 that George,

00:09:29.180 --> 00:09:30.100
 too often you,

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:31.680
 and too often the church,

00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.300
 we're filled with what we want to say,

00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:39.019
 and we're not filled with just actually hearing,

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:41.980
 and being formed by what I want you to say.

00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:47.220
 So I realized I had to start paying far more attention,

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:48.320
 to the actual words,

00:09:48.420 --> 00:09:50.159
 virtually memorizing the psalm,

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.120
 so that while I was riding my bicycle,

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:53.740
 or walking,

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.819
 or in other places,

00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.039
 that the psalm,

00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:56.519
 would,

00:09:56.579 --> 00:09:58.799
 would come out of me as something that I had to pray.

00:10:00.339 --> 00:10:00.620
 But,

00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:03.600
 may God be gracious to us,

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.259
 and bless us,

00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:06.139
 and make his face to shine upon us,

00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:07.799
 that your way may be known on earth,

00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:10.159
 that your saving power among all nations.

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:12.100
 Let the peoples praise you,

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:12.500
 O God,

00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:14.159
 let all the peoples praise you.

00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.399
 And as I'm trying to learn how to pray this psalm,

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.299
 as I feel the pressure of the Holy Spirit,

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.659
 that I'm called to pray this psalm,

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:26.360
 and then it was as if the Holy Spirit convicts me,

00:10:26.459 --> 00:10:29.679
 that I kept changing the words of the psalm,

00:10:29.719 --> 00:10:30.980
 in a really important way.

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.620
 And the way I kept changing the words of the psalm,

00:10:35.819 --> 00:10:36.519
 is I would say,

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.019
 God be gracious to me,

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.519
 and bless me,

00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:42.419
 and make your face shine upon me.

00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:45.459
 That's not what the psalm says.

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:50.500
 The psalm wasn't asking me to pray this psalm for me.

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:52.179
 The psalm,

00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.879
 the word of God was asking me to learn to pray this psalm for us.

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.659
 And day after day,

00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.399
 I would be trying to pray this psalm,

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.960
 and it was as if the Holy Spirit kept having to say,

00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:06.220
 George, what did you just say?

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.100
 What did you just say?

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:09.440
 You said me again.

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.139
 You shouldn't keep saying me.

00:11:13.779 --> 00:11:16.139
 There's times when we pray for just ourselves.

00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.700
 I mean, there's times when I should just pray for me.

00:11:18.700 --> 00:11:20.740
 That it's not as if the Bible says

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:22.460
 that there's never times that I should just say,

00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:23.720
 Lord, please help me.

00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:26.460
 Lord, please do this for me.

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:29.100
 It's not that the Bible never says that we should do it,

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.600
 but this psalm,

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:34.180
 which has been part of reform movements

00:11:34.180 --> 00:11:35.680
 throughout the history of the church,

00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:37.340
 that early reformers,

00:11:37.420 --> 00:11:38.700
 whether it was Gregory or Galatianus

00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:41.500
 or Benedict or Cranmer,

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:44.100
 recognized that learning to pray this psalm

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:45.660
 was really important for the church

00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:48.100
 to have this form how we pray

00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:49.579
 and how we understand the church

00:11:49.579 --> 00:11:50.879
 and how we understand the world,

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:54.100
 that this part of God's word

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:56.000
 has an authoritative power

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.059
 that's to form how we are to understand

00:11:58.059 --> 00:11:58.879
 how we are to pray,

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:01.879
 and it's asking me to pray for us.

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.799
 It's asking you to pray for us.

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:12.139
 May God be gracious to us and bless us

00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:14.159
 and make his face to shine upon us,

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:16.299
 that your way may be known on earth,

00:12:16.699 --> 00:12:18.879
 your saving power among all nations.

00:12:19.359 --> 00:12:21.159
 Let the peoples praise you, O God.

00:12:21.219 --> 00:12:22.719
 Let all the peoples praise you.

00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.899
 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:26.659
 for you judge the peoples with equity

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:28.719
 and guide the nations upon earth.

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.740
 Let the peoples praise you, O God.

00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:32.439
 Let all the peoples praise you.

00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:34.319
 The earth has yielded its increase.

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.120
 God or God shall bless us.

00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:37.600
 God shall bless us.

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:39.760
 Let all the ends of the earth fear you.

00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:45.860
 So one of the things I learned

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:47.840
 when I was doing the commentaries

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.740
 is that it's very intentional in English

00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:53.920
 that the requests are may and let,

00:12:53.919 --> 00:13:00.120
 that these are prayers of humble desire.

00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:06.360
 It's verb tenses of humble desire

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:10.319
 and that God wants to form within us

00:13:10.319 --> 00:13:12.399
 humble desires

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:17.039
 and form and channel and grow within us

00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.000
 humble desires as we approach it.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.639
 and therefore the first word is may

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.240
 and then the rest of it is let, let, let, let, let.

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:29.899
 And so the very, very first humble desire

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:32.740
 that I am to have for us,

00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:36.039
 that we are to have for us,

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.840
 is to ask God for grace.

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:44.940
 And, you know, I'm thinking about this.

00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:45.860
 I'm in a Starbucks.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:47.000
 I'm looking around at the room.

00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:49.879
 In fact, I just had a conversation

00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:50.800
 with a young guy.

00:13:51.259 --> 00:13:53.460
 I'd had quite a few conversations with him.

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.420
 We have a very, very unusual relationship.

00:13:57.560 --> 00:13:59.480
 He can't get at all

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.160
 why anybody would want to know anything at all

00:14:02.160 --> 00:14:03.160
 about the Christian faith.

00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.639
 He's young.

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:06.839
 He's good looking.

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.000
 He's in really good shape.

00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:11.459
 He's financially successful.

00:14:12.079 --> 00:14:13.519
 He's a hit with the ladies.

00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.159
 And life is going very good.

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.059
 Why does he need grace?

00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.159
 I mean, that's what he says.

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:28.719
 And the fact of the matter is,

00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.539
 is that a lot of us in the church

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:32.079
 are just like that young man.

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:37.620
 That we don't really think we need grace.

00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:40.539
 I mean, we know we need grace sometimes

00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:44.139
 because sometimes we feel really guilty.

00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.199
 And sometimes we feel like we're really broken.

00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.439
 Sometimes we don't feel like we're very successful.

00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.399
 We feel like a failure.

00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:55.480
 And so at times like that,

00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.939
 to ask for grace is sort of easy for us,

00:14:59.319 --> 00:15:00.419
 at least for the moment.

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:03.019
 But a lot of the time,

00:15:03.379 --> 00:15:04.699
 we're sort of like our culture.

00:15:05.439 --> 00:15:07.639
 And if things are going very well for us,

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:09.559
 we don't really think we need grace.

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.019
 Because grace refers to God

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:16.539
 being kind and merciful to us.

00:15:18.579 --> 00:15:21.539
 And I realized as I'm trying to learn

00:15:21.539 --> 00:15:22.519
 how to pray this,

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.240
 how easy it is for me

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.319
 to actually think that

00:15:26.319 --> 00:15:28.419
 like there's just sort of me.

00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:31.500
 And I have these things

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:32.980
 and I have these abilities

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:34.559
 and I have these powers.

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:36.879
 And we have these things

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:38.399
 and we have these powers.

00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:42.419
 And we don't sort of really need

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:44.500
 to depend upon God's mercy and kindness

00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:46.299
 because it's a little bit like

00:15:46.299 --> 00:15:48.579
 if somebody was to go out with me

00:15:48.579 --> 00:15:50.379
 after church and offer to buy me a coffee,

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.059
 they say, no, no, it's fine.

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:52.399
 I can cover this.

00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:53.860
 I don't need your grace.

00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:54.799
 I don't need your kind.

00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:56.139
 I can cover this.

00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:58.500
 And so we sit in church

00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.740
 and we hear language of grace,

00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.379
 but actually sort of in our hearts,

00:16:03.439 --> 00:16:05.600
 we don't really feel we need very much right now

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.639
 unless we're very broken.

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:09.299
 But this psalm says,

00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:11.319
 may God be gracious to us

00:16:11.319 --> 00:16:12.059
 and bless us

00:16:12.059 --> 00:16:14.339
 and make his face to shine upon us

00:16:14.339 --> 00:16:16.079
 that your way may be known on earth,

00:16:16.479 --> 00:16:18.359
 your saving power among all nations.

00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:20.319
 Let the peoples praise you, God.

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.759
 Let all the peoples praise you.

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:25.919
 The psalm is wanting me to pray for us,

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.559
 wanting us to pray for us,

00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.639
 that we would receive grace from God,

00:16:30.719 --> 00:16:33.339
 that we would receive God's mercy and kindness.

00:16:33.340 --> 00:16:38.680
 Many of us struggle with thinking

00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:40.280
 that God owes us something.

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:44.360
 And we get angry and mad at God

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.800
 when things don't go the way we want

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:47.639
 because we think he owes us.

00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:50.720
 And this psalm isn't talking about anything like that.

00:16:50.780 --> 00:16:54.019
 It's saying that who I am is a person.

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:55.740
 Who is George?

00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:58.379
 Who is Church of the Messiah?

00:16:58.379 --> 00:17:02.139
 It is a community of people

00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:04.259
 that as a community and as individuals,

00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:09.539
 we always need the kindness and mercy and grace of God.

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:13.819
 That there's no time, no instant

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:17.220
 that I do not need kindness from God.

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.079
 So the psalm says that there's these three things.

00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:24.440
 May God be gracious to us and bless us

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.339
 and make his face to shine upon us

00:17:26.339 --> 00:17:28.399
 that your way may be known on earth,

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:30.839
 your saving power among all nations.

00:17:31.019 --> 00:17:32.519
 Let the peoples praise you, O God.

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.019
 Let all the peoples praise you.

00:17:34.959 --> 00:17:37.379
 And the second thing that this psalm is asking us

00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:39.779
 to pray for is that God would bless us.

00:17:41.399 --> 00:17:44.619
 And I realized as I'm trying to think about this

00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:45.220
 that first of all,

00:17:45.259 --> 00:17:47.799
 I have a very, very weak understanding of blessing.

00:17:51.199 --> 00:17:53.379
 And I know, you know, once again,

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.919
 it's one of the interesting things

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.640
 about working on sermons in a Starbucks

00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.680
 as you're just observing things going on

00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.900
 and people and maybe hearing snatches of conversation.

00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:06.560
 And sometimes it's a bit of a reflection

00:18:06.560 --> 00:18:08.640
 or mirror as to what's going on in my own life.

00:18:09.360 --> 00:18:11.039
 And the whole idea of blessing

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.039
 has been sort of lost in our culture.

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:20.519
 Like in churches, often now,

00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.000
 when we even talk about when I went to the service

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:23.940
 and I was blessed,

00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.139
 I could really feel God's blessing.

00:18:28.180 --> 00:18:30.779
 It's sort of as if we have a communal time

00:18:30.779 --> 00:18:32.359
 of a certain type of emotion.

00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:36.220
 And if we have a communal time

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:37.460
 of a certain type of emotion

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:38.759
 or in my private life,

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:40.180
 I have a certain type of emotion,

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:41.340
 I feel blessed.

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:47.440
 And the world increasingly has this sense

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.500
 that if there is a God at all,

00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:50.920
 he's tiny and puny

00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:52.039
 and doesn't really matter.

00:18:53.019 --> 00:18:54.860
 But there's other big forces

00:18:54.860 --> 00:18:57.039
 that are going on in the world.

00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.100
 And there's things that we can accomplish

00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:00.360
 and things that just are.

00:19:01.120 --> 00:19:02.920
 And it's just we take it for granted

00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.440
 that Canada has prosperity.

00:19:04.600 --> 00:19:05.500
 We take it for granted

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:06.779
 that Canada has safety.

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:07.920
 We take it for granted.

00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:10.400
 If we have health, we take it for granted.

00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:11.880
 If we have minds at work,

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:12.900
 we take it for granted.

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:14.440
 If our bodies are working well,

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:15.460
 we take it for granted.

00:19:15.580 --> 00:19:16.440
 We take it for granted.

00:19:16.820 --> 00:19:17.860
 We take it for granted.

00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:20.600
 And we don't have a sense,

00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:21.560
 increasingly,

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:23.500
 that we are completely

00:19:23.500 --> 00:19:25.519
 and utterly dependent upon blessing.

00:19:27.180 --> 00:19:30.120
 That every good thing that comes to us

00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:33.039
 is a blessing that comes from God.

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.700
 And that blessing isn't just an emotion

00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:41.339
 that we have by ourselves or with others,

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.420
 but that blessing,

00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:45.279
 that everything good we have,

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.700
 whether it's a moral good,

00:19:46.899 --> 00:19:48.039
 an aesthetic good,

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:49.559
 an intellectual good,

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.819
 a social good,

00:19:51.159 --> 00:19:52.519
 an economic good,

00:19:52.899 --> 00:19:54.099
 a physical good,

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:55.460
 or a spiritual good,

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.819
 that every single good thing

00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:59.059
 that comes to us

00:19:59.059 --> 00:20:01.659
 only comes from God as a blessing.

00:20:01.660 --> 00:20:06.040
 That it isn't that there's all these things

00:20:06.040 --> 00:20:07.120
 that I just accomplished

00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:08.500
 or that I just earned

00:20:08.500 --> 00:20:09.920
 or that I just own

00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:11.460
 or that I just possess,

00:20:12.300 --> 00:20:14.940
 but that everything that I have

00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:16.140
 or that we have

00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.180
 is a blessing

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:19.040
 that comes from God

00:20:19.040 --> 00:20:19.720
 if it's good.

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.540
 Like with no exception.

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:26.440
 And that's not denigrating

00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:28.080
 or making small the spiritual

00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:29.139
 because it's a,

00:20:29.819 --> 00:20:31.139
 God is asking me

00:20:31.139 --> 00:20:33.079
 to understand

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.139
 and to pray that,

00:20:34.939 --> 00:20:37.279
 to understand who God is.

00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:38.819
 This is one of the things

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:39.439
 that I realized

00:20:39.439 --> 00:20:40.699
 as I was praying to God

00:20:40.699 --> 00:20:43.539
 that what this text was telling me

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:45.319
 was to say in a sense,

00:20:45.399 --> 00:20:46.099
 who's God?

00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:48.779
 God is the blessed one

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:49.079
 who blesses.

00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.399
 And who is George?

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:54.480
 And who is Church of the Messiah?

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.759
 George is one who only,

00:20:58.140 --> 00:20:59.799
 who always needs blessing

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:01.400
 and is always dependent

00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:02.360
 upon blessing.

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:04.740
 Who is Church of the Messiah?

00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:05.740
 Church of the Messiah

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:07.240
 always needs blessing

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.900
 and is always dependent

00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:09.940
 upon blessing.

00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:13.299
 And then we could go on further.

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:15.160
 The George and Messiah

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.980
 often don't think of themselves

00:21:16.980 --> 00:21:17.920
 as needing blessing

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:19.519
 or recognizing blessing.

00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:22.019
 George doesn't recognize it.

00:21:22.019 --> 00:21:24.420
 George is more comfortable

00:21:24.420 --> 00:21:25.799
 with things,

00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:27.700
 just taking things for granted

00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:28.500
 that our church

00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:32.500
 just can desire

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:34.119
 to just take things for granted.

00:21:35.139 --> 00:21:36.319
 But God doesn't say

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.000
 to pray that way.

00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.519
 He says,

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:38.879
 George,

00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:40.160
 I want you to pray

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.240
 in such a way

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:43.059
 that you ask for my blessing.

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:45.859
 That you realize, George,

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:47.440
 that you and the congregation

00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:48.940
 always are dependent

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:50.660
 upon God's blessing.

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:52.500
 that I want you to pray

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:54.340
 to have more blessing.

00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:57.040
 And I want you to pray that

00:21:57.040 --> 00:21:58.019
 to recognize

00:21:58.019 --> 00:22:00.120
 that every good thing you have

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:02.680
 is a blessing

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:03.900
 that comes from you.

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.519
 And not to take it for granted

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:08.279
 with pride,

00:22:08.420 --> 00:22:08.900
 presumption,

00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:09.519
 and arrogance.

00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:11.340
 Or with anger

00:22:11.340 --> 00:22:12.620
 when others seem

00:22:12.620 --> 00:22:13.840
 to have different blessings

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:14.840
 or more blessings.

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.920
 It's all blessing.

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:20.440
 May God be gracious to us

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.100
 and bless us

00:22:21.100 --> 00:22:22.000
 and make his face

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.980
 to shine upon us

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:23.560
 that your way

00:22:23.560 --> 00:22:24.660
 may be known on earth,

00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:25.800
 your saving power

00:22:25.800 --> 00:22:26.700
 among all nations.

00:22:26.860 --> 00:22:28.160
 Let the peoples praise you,

00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:28.560
 O God.

00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:30.240
 Let all the peoples praise you.

00:22:30.900 --> 00:22:32.539
 May God be gracious to us

00:22:32.539 --> 00:22:34.240
 to pray that God

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.400
 would pour out his kindness

00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:37.019
 and mercy and grace upon us,

00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:39.019
 that God would bless us,

00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:40.019
 to pray that God

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:41.840
 would pour out his blessing upon us.

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:44.079
 That's not only good things,

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:46.279
 not only a recognition

00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:47.959
 that he is giving us good things

00:22:47.959 --> 00:22:49.240
 and so he loves us,

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:51.199
 but also a power

00:22:51.199 --> 00:22:52.319
 for those good things

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:53.359
 to continue to happen.

00:22:53.459 --> 00:22:54.559
 That's what blessing is.

00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:56.639
 And then this very,

00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:57.579
 very funny thing

00:22:57.579 --> 00:22:58.240
 that he says

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.179
 that we're to ask

00:22:59.179 --> 00:23:01.199
 that God would make his face

00:23:01.199 --> 00:23:02.459
 to shine upon us.

00:23:04.779 --> 00:23:07.399
 And it sort of struck me

00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:12.780
 that it's so easy for me

00:23:12.780 --> 00:23:13.580
 to just think

00:23:13.580 --> 00:23:14.860
 and for us to just think

00:23:14.860 --> 00:23:18.320
 that everything just sort of happens

00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:20.040
 for natural reasons.

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:22.400
 That somehow,

00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.180
 I know the rivers just flow

00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:25.500
 and the sun just shines

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:28.200
 and rain just comes

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:31.480
 and things just work

00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:33.740
 and everything is sort of

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:35.060
 just sort of impersonal

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:36.519
 and there's just me managing

00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:37.879
 these impersonal things,

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:39.659
 but the word of God

00:23:39.659 --> 00:23:40.899
 is reminding us

00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:42.119
 it's very, very interesting

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:44.019
 that it uses the word face

00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:46.799
 because it's so easy

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.139
 just to think of forces

00:23:48.139 --> 00:23:49.220
 and energy

00:23:49.220 --> 00:23:51.179
 and things which are impersonal.

00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:54.779
 But the Bible is asking me

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:58.059
 to long for

00:23:58.059 --> 00:24:01.659
 seeing the face of God

00:24:01.659 --> 00:24:04.559
 smile at us, upon us.

00:24:05.059 --> 00:24:07.079
 not to see

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:08.579
 the whole world

00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:11.200
 controlled by impersonal forces

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.099
 that we try

00:24:13.099 --> 00:24:14.059
 through our science

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:15.000
 and technology

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.399
 and intellectual abilities

00:24:16.399 --> 00:24:17.839
 and other types of abilities

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:18.519
 to wrestle

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.200
 and to harness

00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:20.679
 and to channel for our own good.

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.279
 It's not telling us

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.220
 not to try to think,

00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:24.460
 but to understand

00:24:24.460 --> 00:24:26.259
 that everything that exists

00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:27.460
 was created by God

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:28.299
 and that God

00:24:28.299 --> 00:24:29.679
 holds all things

00:24:29.679 --> 00:24:31.099
 constantly in existence

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:33.459
 and that behind

00:24:33.459 --> 00:24:34.279
 and underneath

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:35.139
 and supporting

00:24:35.139 --> 00:24:35.939
 and upholding

00:24:35.939 --> 00:24:36.959
 every apparently

00:24:36.959 --> 00:24:38.319
 impersonal force

00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:40.039
 is God

00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.419
 who has a face

00:24:41.419 --> 00:24:42.379
 who is a person

00:24:42.379 --> 00:24:43.879
 who upholds it

00:24:43.879 --> 00:24:45.039
 and causes it

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.519
 to happen

00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:46.059
 and to be.

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:49.019
 That I do not live

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:50.240
 in an impersonal

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.359
 empty universe.

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.539
 I am not

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:53.059
 a ghost

00:24:53.059 --> 00:24:53.799
 and a machine.

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:57.119
 that the world

00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.319
 is held

00:24:58.319 --> 00:24:59.119
 in the hands

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.460
 of the personal God

00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:02.579
 who maintains it

00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:04.200
 who is bigger

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:05.359
 than all things

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.099
 and that I am

00:25:07.099 --> 00:25:08.119
 to come to God

00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:08.859
 understanding

00:25:08.859 --> 00:25:09.879
 that he is bigger

00:25:09.879 --> 00:25:11.299
 than all things

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:13.079
 and he is a person

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.599
 that he desires

00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:17.180
 to smile upon me

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:18.779
 and to smile upon us.

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:22.759
 May God be gracious

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.319
 to us

00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:24.039
 and bless us

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.859
 and make his face

00:25:24.859 --> 00:25:25.980
 to shine upon us.

00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:27.599
 God wants us

00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:28.480
 to pray this.

00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:30.680
 He wants you

00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.200
 to pray it

00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.500
 in your private devotions.

00:25:32.660 --> 00:25:34.000
 He wants us

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.940
 to pray it together.

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.619
 He wants us

00:25:36.619 --> 00:25:37.059
 to pray

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:38.299
 may God be gracious

00:25:38.299 --> 00:25:38.819
 to us

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:39.500
 and bless us

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:40.279
 and make his face

00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:41.379
 to shine upon us.

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.180
 But he doesn't want us

00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:44.200
 to pray these things.

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:45.079
 He doesn't want me

00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:46.039
 to pray these things

00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:47.019
 so that people

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:48.240
 will think well of me.

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:51.660
 Or that,

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:52.500
 I don't know,

00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:53.660
 or that necessarily

00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:54.539
 our church

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:55.359
 will get bigger

00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.099
 or we'll have

00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:58.460
 a particular reputation

00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.859
 or that all

00:25:59.859 --> 00:26:00.680
 of these blessings

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:01.539
 that we're to ask

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:01.980
 for God

00:26:01.980 --> 00:26:03.460
 to show his grace

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:04.920
 and mercy upon us,

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:06.399
 to shower upon us,

00:26:06.819 --> 00:26:07.799
 that he's asking us

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:09.099
 to shower his blessing

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:09.720
 upon us

00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:11.339
 and he's asking us

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:13.160
 to have an awareness

00:26:13.160 --> 00:26:15.399
 that we're living

00:26:15.399 --> 00:26:16.139
 our lives

00:26:16.139 --> 00:26:16.819
 in such a way

00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:18.599
 that he smiles upon us

00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:20.819
 that we're dealing

00:26:20.819 --> 00:26:21.439
 with shame

00:26:21.439 --> 00:26:21.819
 and sin

00:26:21.819 --> 00:26:22.439
 and other types

00:26:22.439 --> 00:26:22.819
 of things

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:23.359
 in our lives

00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:23.959
 so that he will

00:26:23.959 --> 00:26:25.279
 smile upon us

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:27.059
 and that all of this

00:26:27.059 --> 00:26:28.459
 is not about us.

00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:31.459
 That for the entire

00:26:31.459 --> 00:26:32.719
 rest of the song,

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:35.819
 it's all about

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:37.399
 God blessing us

00:26:37.399 --> 00:26:39.599
 so that we can be

00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:40.240
 a blessing

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.919
 so that as a result

00:26:42.919 --> 00:26:43.839
 of the blessing

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:45.139
 coming into us

00:26:45.140 --> 00:26:46.640
 and taking root

00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:46.980
 in us

00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:47.920
 but flowing out

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:48.460
 of us

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:50.740
 to not only

00:26:50.740 --> 00:26:51.259
 just people

00:26:51.259 --> 00:26:52.000
 who are like us

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.500
 but people

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:53.020
 who are even

00:26:53.020 --> 00:26:54.040
 radically different

00:26:54.040 --> 00:26:54.500
 than us

00:26:54.500 --> 00:26:55.400
 that the result

00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:56.060
 will be not

00:26:56.060 --> 00:26:56.640
 that they are

00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:57.259
 so grateful

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:58.880
 for us

00:26:58.880 --> 00:26:59.560
 but that they

00:26:59.560 --> 00:27:00.300
 will be grateful

00:27:00.300 --> 00:27:01.080
 to God.

00:27:03.040 --> 00:27:04.120
 So listen to

00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:04.820
 the psalm again.

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:05.380
 Listen to how

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:05.940
 he wants us

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:06.680
 to learn to pray.

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:08.240
 The first three

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:09.300
 things that were

00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:09.800
 in a sense

00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:10.500
 looks like it's

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:11.220
 a very type of

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:11.900
 self-centered

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:12.740
 things for us

00:27:12.740 --> 00:27:14.299
 but then the

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:15.120
 entire rest

00:27:15.120 --> 00:27:16.019
 of the psalm

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:16.980
 is how this

00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:18.420
 impacts us

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:52.440
 as I look

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:52.779
 at these

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.240
 communities

00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.859
 I ask

00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:54.859
 people groups

00:29:54.859 --> 00:29:55.500
 and the

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.379
 people groups

00:29:56.379 --> 00:29:56.699
 of our

00:29:56.699 --> 00:29:57.379
 cities

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:58.299

00:29:58.299 --> 00:29:58.759
 country

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.259
 and the

00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:00.459
 earth

00:30:00.459 --> 00:30:02.399
 it is so easy

00:30:02.399 --> 00:30:02.859
 for us to become

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:05.319
 spiritually self-satisfied

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:07.819
 narcissistic black holes

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:26.639
 and actually feel it's a sign of spiritual maturity

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:56.640


00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:59.380
 Why? So that my way

00:30:59.380 --> 00:31:00.640
 will be known

00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.700
 throughout the entire time.

00:31:04.180 --> 00:31:05.520
 And every single

00:31:05.520 --> 00:31:06.000
 people,

00:31:06.500 --> 00:31:08.820
 every single people

00:31:08.820 --> 00:31:10.980
 will come to know my way.

00:31:11.100 --> 00:31:12.840
 And every single people

00:31:12.840 --> 00:31:15.000
 will come to know my Savior.

00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:18.720
 And I want you to do it

00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:20.800
 not so people will have you to think about you

00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:22.740
 or remember you or anything like that.

00:31:23.020 --> 00:31:24.740
 Why do I want

00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:26.920
 in the gay community and in the

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:28.539
 banking community and the immigrant

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:31.039
 communities and in

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.740

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.839
 and in the mentally ill community

00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.700
 and then outside of Canada that I

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:40.259
 wanted in Kenya and I wanted

00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:42.859
 in remote parts of China

00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:45.180
 and Mongolia and Tibet and Kazakhstan.

00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:46.519
 I want

00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:48.680
 all the earth to place.

00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:50.859
 I have

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:52.799
 people in all these communities

00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:54.960
 and my

00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:56.440
 Holy Spirit is at work

00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:58.899
 to bring them to a point

00:31:58.899 --> 00:32:00.480
 where they will know my way

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:02.180
 and know my saving power

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:03.460
 and praise me.

00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:06.099
 And I'm going to use

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:08.200
 imperfect people like you.

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.680
 And I want you to pray for that grace

00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:13.839
 and pray for that blessing

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:15.919
 and pray for the shining of my face.

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:18.980
 So that all these communities

00:32:18.980 --> 00:32:20.480
 communities really not even

00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.059
 forget to pray that that would happen,

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:23.559
 but I just call you to pray.

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:25.899
 Pray for grace and blessing.

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:29.559
 Every people group,

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:30.899
 the people groups you like,

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:32.639
 the people groups you despise,

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:34.039
 the people groups you hate,

00:32:34.339 --> 00:32:36.000
 I'm not asking you to hate them

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.399
 or like them or despise them.

00:32:37.659 --> 00:32:38.720
 You definitely shouldn't hate them.

00:32:38.779 --> 00:32:40.079
 You definitely shouldn't despise them.

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:42.019
 Pray for my grace and life

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:43.039
 and my blessing

00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.519
 and the shining of my face

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.819
 is so tall upon you

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:48.220
 and present upon you

00:32:48.220 --> 00:32:51.900
 that every people group

00:32:51.900 --> 00:32:54.059
 will have people who praise me.

00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:58.099
 and not only that,

00:32:59.179 --> 00:33:00.720
 not only that,

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:03.599
 I kept reading the first three verses,

00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:05.039
 but what I want them to know,

00:33:05.339 --> 00:33:06.019
 verse four,

00:33:06.659 --> 00:33:07.339
 the nations,

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:08.299
 the people groups,

00:33:08.399 --> 00:33:10.059
 be glad and sing for joy.

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.339
 I,

00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:11.179
 you know,

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:11.359
 I,

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:11.559
 I,

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:11.659
 I,

00:33:11.659 --> 00:33:12.500
 I wanted to,

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:12.519
 I wanted to,

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.759
 I wanted to,

00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:14.779
 I wanted to,

00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:16.500
 I wanted to,

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:16.519
 I wanted to,

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:16.679
 I wanted to,

00:33:16.679 --> 00:33:17.279
 I wanted to,

00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:18.279
 I wanted languages

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:19.859
 that we haven't even heard of yet

00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:21.799
 because nobody's come across them.

00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.899
 And I want them to sing my praises

00:33:23.899 --> 00:33:24.960
 and to be glad

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.980
 and sing for joy

00:33:25.980 --> 00:33:27.759
 in their heart languages.

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.379
 That's the desire of God's heart

00:33:30.379 --> 00:33:32.420
 is that from the heart language

00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:33.460
 of human beings

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:34.420
 that they would sing

00:33:34.420 --> 00:33:35.940
 and praise God

00:33:35.940 --> 00:33:37.720
 that they would recognize

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.359
 that he is the perfect judge

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:44.079
 and that he is sovereign

00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:45.839
 over every people group.

00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:47.039
 He's not just sovereign

00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:48.299
 who wants to be sovereign

00:33:48.299 --> 00:33:50.079
 over Canada or the United States.

00:33:50.379 --> 00:33:52.059
 It's not that he wants Canadians

00:33:52.059 --> 00:33:52.920
 or Kenyans

00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:54.119
 or Chinese

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:55.119
 or Russians

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:55.859
 or others,

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:59.179
 that he is to be the sovereign guide

00:33:59.179 --> 00:34:01.179
 of every people group

00:34:01.179 --> 00:34:02.139
 and listen to me

00:34:02.139 --> 00:34:03.500
 to cry in our heart.

00:34:05.819 --> 00:34:07.439
 That every people group,

00:34:07.539 --> 00:34:08.779
 let the people praise you,

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.099
 oh God,

00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:10.539
 all the people praise you.

00:34:10.839 --> 00:34:11.779
 The earth is healed

00:34:11.779 --> 00:34:12.500
 and it's increased.

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:13.019
 God,

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:13.779
 our God,

00:34:13.859 --> 00:34:14.500
 shall bless us.

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:15.699
 God shall bless us.

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:17.420
 Let all the ends of the earth

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:17.819
 appear.

00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:20.559
 Praise to you.

00:34:20.819 --> 00:34:22.299
 That every people group

00:34:22.299 --> 00:34:23.079
 would have people

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:24.359
 who would recognize it.

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:26.260
 Whatever bounty comes

00:34:26.260 --> 00:34:26.800
 from the earth,

00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:27.960
 whether it's the bounty

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:28.680
 of plants,

00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:29.380
 it's the bounty

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:29.920
 of clean,

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:30.400
 the bounty

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:31.220
 of clean water,

00:34:31.420 --> 00:34:32.700
 it's the bounty

00:34:32.700 --> 00:34:33.740
 of oil

00:34:33.740 --> 00:34:35.160
 or mineral resources

00:34:35.160 --> 00:34:36.340
 or the bounty

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:37.260
 of education,

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:38.340
 ability of factories,

00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:39.280
 that all of the

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:40.320
 increase in the earth

00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:41.980
 comes from the hand

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:43.340
 of the living God

00:34:43.340 --> 00:34:44.860
 who is the perfect judge

00:34:44.860 --> 00:34:46.480
 and the sovereign God

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.300
 of every people group.

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:52.099
 And the prayer

00:34:52.099 --> 00:34:52.719
 of our hearts

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:53.099
 should be

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:53.900
 that God

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:56.420
 forces grace upon us

00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:58.099
 and that as he blesses us

00:34:58.099 --> 00:34:59.260
 and as we have

00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:00.440
 a hundred of his face

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:01.659
 to shine upon us

00:35:01.659 --> 00:35:03.000
 so that God's way

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:04.400
 is known upon the earth,

00:35:04.780 --> 00:35:05.740
 is taking power

00:35:05.740 --> 00:35:07.400
 to all people groups,

00:35:07.740 --> 00:35:08.619
 that the result of it

00:35:08.619 --> 00:35:09.199
 is not just

00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:10.639
 that people will praise him,

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.840
 that they will know

00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:12.519
 that he is

00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:13.500
 the creator

00:35:13.500 --> 00:35:14.380
 and sustainer

00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:14.900
 and gift,

00:35:14.980 --> 00:35:15.900
 gift giver

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:16.840
 of all blessing,

00:35:17.620 --> 00:35:18.160
 that he is

00:35:18.160 --> 00:35:20.140
 a perfectly just judge,

00:35:20.620 --> 00:35:21.100
 that he is

00:35:21.100 --> 00:35:21.720
 the sovereign

00:35:21.720 --> 00:35:22.680
 five nations,

00:35:23.180 --> 00:35:24.220
 but that we will know

00:35:24.220 --> 00:35:25.019
 him truly

00:35:25.019 --> 00:35:25.880
 that the theory

00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:26.880
 God is.

00:35:29.160 --> 00:35:30.240
 God shall bless us

00:35:30.240 --> 00:35:31.160
 that all beings

00:35:31.160 --> 00:35:31.559
 and fear

00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.500
 that every human,

00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:35.640
 that the people

00:35:35.640 --> 00:35:36.640
 and every people

00:35:36.640 --> 00:35:37.600
 group will know

00:35:37.600 --> 00:35:38.720
 God

00:35:38.720 --> 00:35:41.360
 in humility,

00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:44.160
 no arrogance,

00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:45.460
 no panic,

00:35:45.780 --> 00:35:46.680
 no presumption,

00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.780
 no confusion

00:35:47.780 --> 00:35:49.120
 between who God is

00:35:49.120 --> 00:35:50.260
 and who I am,

00:35:50.640 --> 00:35:51.400
 no attempt

00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:52.300
 from within me

00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:53.559
 to think that I am God

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:55.059
 and that God is not God,

00:35:55.579 --> 00:35:56.680
 that God is dead

00:35:56.680 --> 00:35:57.380
 and he somehow

00:35:57.380 --> 00:35:58.420
 gave me the job,

00:35:58.780 --> 00:36:00.019
 to think that my desires

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:01.079
 and his desires

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:02.260
 and what will make me

00:36:02.260 --> 00:36:03.280
 prosper will be

00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:04.620
 what made God prosperous,

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.800
 that the fear of God

00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:07.100
 is an ever-increasing

00:36:07.100 --> 00:36:08.680
 knowledge of who I am

00:36:08.680 --> 00:36:10.180
 and who God is

00:36:10.180 --> 00:36:11.720
 and that God is God

00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:13.019
 and that I am not man,

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:14.039
 I know the boundary

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:14.799
 between me

00:36:14.799 --> 00:36:15.439
 and the boundary

00:36:15.439 --> 00:36:16.359
 between him

00:36:16.359 --> 00:36:17.759
 and knowing the boundary

00:36:17.759 --> 00:36:18.579
 between him

00:36:18.579 --> 00:36:19.239
 and the boundary

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:20.099
 between me,

00:36:20.339 --> 00:36:21.899
 I desire to know him

00:36:21.899 --> 00:36:23.699
 and as I know him

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:25.099
 to bow my knee

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.679
 forth

00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:27.539
 because he is God,

00:36:27.659 --> 00:36:28.779
 that's what the fear of God

00:36:28.779 --> 00:36:28.939
 is.

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.059
 And that's what the song

00:36:30.059 --> 00:36:30.899
 that has been us

00:36:30.899 --> 00:36:31.559
 to pray about.

00:36:31.919 --> 00:36:32.779
 Not that we know

00:36:32.779 --> 00:36:33.659
 liturgies,

00:36:33.659 --> 00:36:34.419
 not that we know

00:36:34.419 --> 00:36:34.879
 rituals,

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:35.879
 not that we know

00:36:35.879 --> 00:36:37.139
 praise songs,

00:36:37.139 --> 00:36:38.379
 but that we know

00:36:38.379 --> 00:36:39.259
 God

00:36:39.259 --> 00:36:41.900
 and are known

00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:43.179
 by him

00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:45.920
 and that as we know

00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:47.599
 God who is invisible,

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:49.940
 we do not confuse

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:51.460
 ourselves with God

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:52.279
 but have this

00:36:52.279 --> 00:36:53.679
 ever-sharpened,

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:54.819
 ever-deepening

00:36:54.819 --> 00:36:55.819
 understanding

00:36:55.819 --> 00:36:56.579
 of the difference

00:36:56.579 --> 00:36:57.379
 between him

00:36:57.379 --> 00:36:57.960
 and me,

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:59.139
 that that difference

00:36:59.139 --> 00:36:59.799
 is good

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:03.220
 and the cat-differs

00:37:03.220 --> 00:37:04.080
 should lead

00:37:04.080 --> 00:37:05.160
 both humility

00:37:05.160 --> 00:37:05.740
 and hunger,

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:07.220
 hunger from word God

00:37:07.220 --> 00:37:07.820
 and humility

00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:08.600
 before him,

00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:10.280
 I know that I am not

00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:10.640
 God

00:37:10.640 --> 00:37:10.960
 and I am not

00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:11.460
 praise him.

00:37:15.100 --> 00:37:16.240
 One final thing

00:37:16.240 --> 00:37:17.120
 about this prayer

00:37:17.120 --> 00:37:18.720
 that has

00:37:18.720 --> 00:37:20.080
 addressed this week,

00:37:20.220 --> 00:37:21.340
 may God be gracious

00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:21.800
 to us,

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.480
 bless us

00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:23.260
 and make the space

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:24.260
 to shine upon us,

00:37:24.300 --> 00:37:24.900
 that your way

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:25.480
 may be known

00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:25.940
 on earth

00:37:25.940 --> 00:37:27.120
 for saving power

00:37:27.120 --> 00:37:28.140
 among all nations,

00:37:28.700 --> 00:37:29.600
 but the people's

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:30.139
 praise you,

00:37:30.179 --> 00:37:30.519
 O God,

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:31.539
 that all the people's

00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:32.099
 praise you,

00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:32.719
 that the nations

00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:33.699
 be glad and sing

00:37:33.699 --> 00:37:34.219
 for joy,

00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:34.880
 that you judge

00:37:34.880 --> 00:37:35.400
 for the peoples

00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:36.000
 with equity

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.139
 and guide the nations

00:37:37.139 --> 00:37:37.779
 upon earth,

00:37:38.019 --> 00:37:38.779
 let the people's

00:37:38.779 --> 00:37:39.319
 praise you,

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:39.599
 O God,

00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:40.440
 that all the people's

00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:40.940
 praise you,

00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:41.920
 the earth is yielded

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.480
 and it's increased,

00:37:42.659 --> 00:37:43.559
 God, our God,

00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:44.380
 shall bless us,

00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.679
 God shall bless us,

00:37:45.739 --> 00:37:46.679
 let all the ends

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:47.079
 of the earth

00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:47.719
 fear him.

00:37:48.799 --> 00:37:49.940
 That's verse 2,

00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:51.159
 you're saving power,

00:37:52.299 --> 00:37:52.920
 you know what it is

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.420
 in Hebrew?

00:37:55.279 --> 00:37:55.759
 Yeshua.

00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:59.279
 Keep connected to Jesus.

00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.179
 I'm not making this up.

00:38:03.779 --> 00:38:04.799
 It could be translated

00:38:04.799 --> 00:38:05.719
 your Jesus

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:06.860
 among all nations.

00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:09.679
 This song is written

00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:10.639
 before Jesus.

00:38:12.019 --> 00:38:14.579
 It's a promise

00:38:14.579 --> 00:38:16.239
 that God will send

00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:18.000
 in saving power.

00:38:19.420 --> 00:38:20.119
 And the very,

00:38:20.279 --> 00:38:21.139
 very part of

00:38:21.139 --> 00:38:22.099
 Christian faith

00:38:22.099 --> 00:38:24.599
 is that God

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:26.219
 gives power

00:38:26.219 --> 00:38:26.920
 of only

00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:28.059
 need to give

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:30.099
 and gives

00:38:30.099 --> 00:38:30.719
 the power

00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:31.440
 of the same

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:32.299
 and it comes

00:38:32.299 --> 00:38:33.000
 from Jesus'

00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:33.619
 death

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:34.659
 on the cross.

00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:35.259
 It's great.

00:38:35.260 --> 00:38:35.500
 Jesus.

00:38:36.940 --> 00:38:37.780
 The Bible uses

00:38:37.780 --> 00:38:38.420
 many different

00:38:38.420 --> 00:38:38.940
 images

00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:39.660
 and metaphors

00:38:39.660 --> 00:38:40.440
 to try to help us

00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:41.560
 understand images

00:38:41.560 --> 00:38:42.280
 of ransom,

00:38:42.600 --> 00:38:44.100
 images of forgiveness

00:38:44.100 --> 00:38:45.440
 and images

00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:46.480
 of proficiation

00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:47.640
 and images

00:38:47.640 --> 00:38:48.640
 of cleanliness

00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:49.220
 and images

00:38:49.220 --> 00:38:50.200
 of reconciliation

00:38:50.200 --> 00:38:51.960
 and images

00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:53.640
 of prosperity,

00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:54.640
 images of

00:38:54.640 --> 00:38:55.380
 deliverance

00:38:55.380 --> 00:38:56.040
 from duty

00:38:56.039 --> 00:38:56.880
 and many,

00:38:57.000 --> 00:38:57.599
 many images

00:38:57.599 --> 00:38:58.539
 all the time.

00:38:58.820 --> 00:38:59.420
 But in all

00:38:59.420 --> 00:39:00.159
 centers around

00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:01.719
 this idea

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:02.960
 that

00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.360
 Jesus

00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:06.599
 is the one

00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:07.219
 who comes

00:39:07.219 --> 00:39:07.880
 to God

00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:08.679
 whose death

00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:09.840
 on the cross

00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:12.200
 is a saving

00:39:12.200 --> 00:39:12.920
 power.

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:15.900
 And I don't

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.740
 add to that

00:39:16.740 --> 00:39:17.600
 saving power.

00:39:17.820 --> 00:39:18.720
 I don't create

00:39:18.720 --> 00:39:20.000
 that saving power.

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:22.960
 All I can do

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:24.180
 is receive

00:39:24.180 --> 00:39:26.300
 a power.

00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:27.700
 Receive something

00:39:27.700 --> 00:39:28.320
 that comes

00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:29.039
 from God

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:30.760
 that when I receive

00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:31.760
 it is actually

00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:32.680
 a power

00:39:32.680 --> 00:39:33.380
 from God,

00:39:33.620 --> 00:39:34.200
 a power

00:39:34.200 --> 00:39:35.800
 that reconciles

00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:36.360
 me to.

00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:38.680
 See,

00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:39.500
 even as this

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:40.239
 song was written,

00:39:40.380 --> 00:39:41.059
 even as it's

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:41.699
 calling us,

00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:42.460
 it's not

00:39:42.460 --> 00:39:43.000
 calling us

00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:43.599
 to religion.

00:39:44.539 --> 00:39:45.219
 This song

00:39:45.219 --> 00:39:46.119
 is calling me

00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:46.739
 to religion.

00:39:47.420 --> 00:39:48.159
 This song

00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:49.099
 is calling me

00:39:49.099 --> 00:39:49.940
 just to my

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:50.699
 own efforts.

00:39:51.179 --> 00:39:52.019
 It's not calling

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:53.139
 me to develop

00:39:53.139 --> 00:39:54.199
 mental habits

00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:55.280
 whereby I,

00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:56.019
 by myself,

00:39:56.139 --> 00:39:56.739
 just always

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:57.639
 remember that

00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:58.480
 everything is a

00:39:58.480 --> 00:39:59.380
 blessing and that

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:00.179
 God is ultimately

00:40:00.179 --> 00:40:00.920
 the giver of all

00:40:00.920 --> 00:40:01.460
 the blessing and

00:40:01.460 --> 00:40:02.800
 that God is the

00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:03.179
 one who gives

00:40:03.179 --> 00:40:03.619
 you grace and

00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:03.920
 kindness.

00:40:04.440 --> 00:40:05.099
 That's what

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:05.800
 religion is.

00:40:05.860 --> 00:40:06.840
 That's religion

00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:07.719
 and spirituality

00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:08.440
 is just where

00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:09.320
 it's all somehow

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.539
 about now me.

00:40:11.240 --> 00:40:12.220
 Religion takes

00:40:12.220 --> 00:40:13.940
 songs like this

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:14.539
 and turns it

00:40:14.539 --> 00:40:15.280
 into being all

00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:15.960
 about me

00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:16.580
 and my

00:40:16.580 --> 00:40:17.480
 accomplishment.

00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:18.960
 And this

00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:19.680
 song,

00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:21.140
 it,

00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:21.720
 you know,

00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:22.260
 use modern

00:40:22.260 --> 00:40:22.720
 language,

00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:24.000
 it deconstructs

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.300
 it.

00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:27.420
 On one hand,

00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:28.300
 it's teaching me

00:40:28.300 --> 00:40:28.960
 how to pray

00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:30.080
 at the same time

00:40:30.080 --> 00:40:30.380
 that it's

00:40:30.380 --> 00:40:31.100
 pumping me

00:40:31.100 --> 00:40:32.100
 for knowledge.

00:40:33.600 --> 00:40:34.480
 That just as I

00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:34.960
 am praying

00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:35.660
 that God's

00:40:35.660 --> 00:40:36.760
 saving power

00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:37.300
 will be more

00:40:37.300 --> 00:40:37.660
 among the

00:40:37.660 --> 00:40:37.980
 nations.

00:40:38.120 --> 00:40:38.840
 If I need to

00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:39.620
 receive that

00:40:39.620 --> 00:40:40.420
 saving power,

00:40:40.660 --> 00:40:42.780
 it's never just

00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:44.060
 my accomplishments

00:40:44.060 --> 00:40:45.920
 that I need to

00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:46.960
 receive something

00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:48.280
 that only God

00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:49.160
 can do and

00:40:49.160 --> 00:40:50.340
 only God has

00:40:50.340 --> 00:40:50.740
 done,

00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:52.420
 and that

00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:53.060
 is something

00:40:53.060 --> 00:40:53.580
 that's a

00:40:53.580 --> 00:40:54.880
 saving power.

00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:56.980
 It's that the

00:40:56.980 --> 00:40:57.600
 point of God

00:40:57.600 --> 00:40:57.780
 saying,

00:40:57.900 --> 00:40:58.540
 I need to

00:40:58.540 --> 00:40:59.400
 receive it.

00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.500
 I need to

00:41:02.500 --> 00:41:04.920
 show blessing.

00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:06.820
 It's a

00:41:06.820 --> 00:41:07.500
 gospel.

00:41:07.500 --> 00:41:08.220
 I realize

00:41:08.220 --> 00:41:09.579
 that that's

00:41:09.579 --> 00:41:10.019
 why I need

00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:10.660
 grace all.

00:41:10.980 --> 00:41:11.639
 That's why I

00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:12.059
 need to know

00:41:12.059 --> 00:41:13.380
 that you need

00:41:13.380 --> 00:41:13.840
 grace all.

00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:14.260
 I'm going to

00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:14.780
 be show

00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:15.240
 grace.

00:41:15.940 --> 00:41:16.200
 And that's

00:41:16.200 --> 00:41:16.480
 not really

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:16.700
 what,

00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:17.559
 and that

00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:18.079
 saving power

00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:18.480
 that grips

00:41:18.480 --> 00:41:18.760
 me,

00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:20.180
 and I realize

00:41:20.180 --> 00:41:20.700
 that's a

00:41:20.700 --> 00:41:21.280
 blessing that

00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:21.680
 comes from

00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:22.039
 God.

00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:23.440
 And if I

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:24.019
 am completely

00:41:24.019 --> 00:41:24.780
 not dependent

00:41:24.780 --> 00:41:25.180
 upon the

00:41:25.180 --> 00:41:25.599
 blessing that

00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:26.000
 comes from

00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:26.220
 God,

00:41:26.280 --> 00:41:26.519
 it's a

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:26.980
 saving power,

00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:28.380
 I need to

00:41:28.380 --> 00:41:28.980
 show blessing.

00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:32.079
 And that

00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:33.639
 saving power

00:41:33.639 --> 00:41:34.180
 that comes

00:41:34.180 --> 00:41:34.760
 from God

00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:35.240
 is the

00:41:35.240 --> 00:41:35.639
 means by

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:36.059
 which I'm

00:41:36.059 --> 00:41:36.619
 reconciling

00:41:36.619 --> 00:41:37.059
 to God,

00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:37.900
 so that I

00:41:37.900 --> 00:41:38.680
 am no longer

00:41:38.680 --> 00:41:39.800
 in hostility

00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:40.460
 against God,

00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:41.039
 in anger

00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:41.660
 against God,

00:41:41.740 --> 00:41:42.119
 in rebel

00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:42.940
 against God,

00:41:43.180 --> 00:41:43.480
 but that

00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:43.840
 it's a

00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:44.660
 saving power

00:41:44.660 --> 00:41:45.680
 that reconciles

00:41:45.680 --> 00:41:46.200
 me to God

00:41:46.200 --> 00:41:46.740
 so that I

00:41:46.740 --> 00:41:47.380
 can stand

00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:48.539
 only because

00:41:48.539 --> 00:41:48.820
 of that

00:41:48.820 --> 00:41:49.619
 saving power

00:41:49.619 --> 00:41:50.200
 before the

00:41:50.200 --> 00:41:50.940
 smiling face

00:41:50.940 --> 00:41:51.360
 of God,

00:41:51.460 --> 00:41:51.900
 that I

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:52.480
 believe

00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:52.860
 that

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:53.660
 smiling face

00:41:53.660 --> 00:41:54.039
 was.

00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:56.059
 And as

00:41:56.059 --> 00:41:56.780
 the gospel

00:41:56.780 --> 00:41:57.500
 grips,

00:41:57.500 --> 00:42:00.159
 I

00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:00.780
 learn on

00:42:00.780 --> 00:42:01.519
 one hand

00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:02.119
 that this

00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:02.739
 is just

00:42:02.739 --> 00:42:03.380
 a prayer

00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:03.780
 that I

00:42:03.780 --> 00:42:04.239
 need to

00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:04.699
 pray,

00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:06.880
 but also

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:07.260
 that it's

00:42:07.260 --> 00:42:07.679
 not just

00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:08.119
 about me

00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:08.420
 and my

00:42:08.420 --> 00:42:08.800
 power,

00:42:08.980 --> 00:42:09.440
 it's about

00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:09.820
 the power

00:42:09.820 --> 00:42:10.500
 of accomplishment.

00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:13.179
 So the

00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:13.780
 psalm

00:42:13.780 --> 00:42:14.679
 constantly

00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:15.239
 brings us

00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:15.659
 back to

00:42:15.659 --> 00:42:16.039
 the beginning.

00:42:17.539 --> 00:42:18.360
 May God

00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:19.119
 be gracious

00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:19.699
 to us

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:20.179
 and bless

00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:20.460
 us,

00:42:20.780 --> 00:42:21.260
 and make

00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:21.800
 his face

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:22.340
 to shine

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:22.920
 upon us.

00:42:23.460 --> 00:42:23.960
 Why,
