00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.960
 Isaiah chapter 12.

00:00:07.379 --> 00:00:12.060
 I'll be reading for us just the first three verses.

00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:12.060


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.600
 Behold, God is my salvation.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.280
 I will trust and will not be afraid.

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:40.799
 For the Lord God is my strength and my song.

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.539
 And he has become my salvation.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.240
 With joy, you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:52.960
 Let's pray.

00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:01.520
 Lord, this morning we come with hearts that are filled up with the testimony of your word.

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:08.140
 Encouraged by the reminder of the privilege that we have to worship you together.

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.900
 To bring our expressions of thanks and praise to you.

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:15.599
 A God who is worthy.

00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:18.420
 Who alone is worthy to be praised.

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:20.740
 And we do that this morning.

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:25.819
 And we ask that you would help us to be people who are marked by praise.

00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:29.619
 As we look at this passage today and we see the example.

00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:30.780
 And the call.

00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:32.259
 The command.

00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:37.399
 The exhortation for us to be people who are people of praise.

00:01:38.379 --> 00:01:39.799
 May that be true of us.

00:01:39.919 --> 00:01:41.199
 Regardless of the circumstance.

00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:44.060
 Regardless of the situation in life.

00:01:45.299 --> 00:01:50.019
 May we be people who are marked out as people of praise.

00:01:50.019 --> 00:01:51.780
 We ask for your help.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:52.700
 In Jesus' name.

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:53.640
 Amen.

00:01:55.739 --> 00:02:01.019
 Well, this past weekend I felt a sense of accomplishment.

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:11.300
 I, for the last several months, have needed brakes and rotors on the front of my Honda Civic 2006.

00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:14.920
 I won't tell you how many months have gone by.

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:18.800
 And it's been very clear to me that the little squeaking.

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:26.400
 The squeaking went away because I rubbed things down so far that it wasn't there to squeak anymore.

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:34.140
 And, you know, there's one of those things where the daunting pressure of doing that kind of task.

00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.300
 And you get the wheels off.

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.460
 And then you don't know what to do next.

00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:42.400
 And then you have a car that doesn't work anymore.

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:44.060
 You can't move it out of the driveway.

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:45.500
 You can't get it out of place.

00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.000
 And so that kind of loomed on my shoulders.

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:50.139
 That was kind of a burden to carry.

00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:55.400
 And I certainly didn't want to pay the money to get brakes and rotors fixed.

00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:04.219
 And so what does anyone do in the 21st century when we need to figure out how to do something like brakes and rotors?

00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:04.719
 What do we do?

00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.439
 Yeah, you are good.

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.060
 In days gone by, we would ask somebody for help.

00:03:13.740 --> 00:03:15.379
 You know, we would ask a parent.

00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:16.500
 We would call up a friend.

00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:17.819
 We would get somebody to come.

00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:18.699
 But not anymore.

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:20.719
 We go to YouTube, right?

00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.060
 So that's what I did.

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:22.960
 I went to YouTube.

00:03:23.359 --> 00:03:25.159
 And you type in the search.

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:26.800
 And you get the specifics.

00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:31.759
 Honda Civic 2006 LX front brake pads and rotors.

00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:32.560
 Here's how to go.

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.139
 Well, after looking at several different videos,

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.079
 I noticed that some of them experienced or had some gaps.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.159
 Like, you know, you remove this screw and you take off the rotor.

00:03:49.579 --> 00:03:51.359
 It should be that simple.

00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:54.240
 But for some reason, it wasn't coming off.

00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.060
 There must be another step somewhere in the process.

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.240
 And so instead of going from step A to step E,

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.879
 I needed B, C, and D in the process.

00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.400
 And some of those videos didn't have that.

00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:13.719
 Other videos walked little novices like me through the entire process.

00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.420
 And I found out that all you have to do is knock on that rotor,

00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:21.060
 pound I should say, a couple of times,

00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.659
 to unstick it from the other mechanisms that were there.

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:26.860
 Kind of unfreeze it.

00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:28.740
 And then you could wiggle it out of place.

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:31.519
 But, man, I would not have known that from the previous video.

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.180
 Well, I was able to get the rotors off, put them back on,

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.860
 get the brake pads in place, put the wheel back on.

00:04:40.980 --> 00:04:44.139
 And my wife drove it yesterday, and she was able to stop.

00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:45.560
 So that's a good sign.

00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.939
 And I don't know if you ever noticed this,

00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:54.480
 but at the end, especially of some of those kinds of YouTube videos,

00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:57.879
 there's always this little advertisement by the person

00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.060
 who kind of owns that video that says,

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.840
 hey, if this video is useful for you,

00:05:03.180 --> 00:05:07.920
 please like this video or add it to your channel.

00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.000
 Have you ever seen that and wondered what in the world is going on?

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.920
 Well, come to find out this is a good way

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.920
 for the people who have benefited from this tutorial,

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.500
 this one-on-one tutorial,

00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:26.019
 to really say, hey, thank you for making this video available

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:28.399
 so that I can save myself some money

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.199
 and I don't have to inconvenience other people

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.459
 and have them partner with me in this process.

00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:36.579
 So thank you for your help.

00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:37.839
 It's a way to do that.

00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:43.419
 It's also a way for us to promote this video in the process

00:05:43.419 --> 00:05:47.000
 so that in the queue when other searches are made,

00:05:47.579 --> 00:05:50.639
 that this video actually rises to the top

00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.039
 and other people can also benefit

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:57.739
 from the value of this video in this little tutorial.

00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:00.620
 So it serves kind of a dual process,

00:06:00.719 --> 00:06:03.799
 not only to say thank you personally,

00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:07.079
 but also for me to promote the video

00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:10.480
 and essentially acclaim its value

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.800
 so that others can benefit in the process.

00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:18.280
 This morning we're looking at this passage in Isaiah chapter 12.

00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:25.379
 And what really is kind of unexpected about this chapter

00:06:25.379 --> 00:06:29.459
 is that Isaiah has spent so much time

00:06:29.459 --> 00:06:35.219
 teeing up the discipline that he's going to bring on Israel

00:06:35.219 --> 00:06:37.540
 and the judgment that he's going to bring to the nations.

00:06:38.339 --> 00:06:40.959
 He spent the first nine chapters

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.159
 trying to raise the awareness of what's going to happen

00:06:45.159 --> 00:06:47.980
 and then beginning that process in chapter 10.

00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.980
 Now all of a sudden in chapter 12,

00:06:50.819 --> 00:06:53.019
 he takes an unexpected turn.

00:06:53.019 --> 00:06:57.479
 From chapters 10 to chapters 35,

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.719
 Isaiah is going to deal with the discipline of Israel

00:07:01.719 --> 00:07:03.379
 and the judgment on the nations.

00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.139
 But in chapter 12, and in chapter 25,

00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:09.839
 and in chapter 26,

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.060
 he pulls away,

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:14.299
 he takes this little departure,

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:15.859
 this little detour,

00:07:16.219 --> 00:07:19.659
 because he wants Israel to understand

00:07:19.659 --> 00:07:20.759
 where this is all going.

00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:26.579
 This is all leading to praise of God.

00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:28.759
 All of this,

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.399
 the hardship and the difficulty,

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:32.560
 the suffering,

00:07:32.860 --> 00:07:35.360
 the circumstances that they were going to encounter,

00:07:35.819 --> 00:07:37.579
 and the judgment on the nations

00:07:37.579 --> 00:07:40.680
 were all for the sake of praise

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.120
 to the glory of God.

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.620
 This morning I would ask you,

00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:49.759
 as we begin this study,

00:07:50.660 --> 00:07:51.780
 this important question.

00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:56.240
 Is your life marked by praise?

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.939
 Is the expression of your life,

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.939
 the words from your lips,

00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:07.840
 the posture of your heart,

00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.619
 a posture of thanks and praise?

00:08:13.299 --> 00:08:16.659
 As we'll see this morning in our passage before us,

00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:21.000
 Isaiah wants to bring to the forefront of our attention,

00:08:22.339 --> 00:08:25.199
 you cannot be a people of God

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.779
 without being a people of praise.

00:08:27.779 --> 00:08:31.579
 You cannot call yourself

00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:33.120
 a follower of God

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.079
 without being

00:08:34.079 --> 00:08:35.839
 a person that is marked

00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:36.839
 by thanksgiving.

00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:38.339
 That

00:08:38.339 --> 00:08:39.699
 is the significance

00:08:39.699 --> 00:08:41.500
 of this passage today.

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:44.500
 And for those of us,

00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:45.720
 and I would put myself

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:46.539
 in this category

00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:48.839
 as one who tends to complain,

00:08:49.439 --> 00:08:51.139
 one who tends to criticize,

00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:52.860
 one who tends to look

00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:54.500
 at a glass half empty

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.500
 instead of half full,

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:58.740
 that cannot be

00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:00.100
 the expression of a life

00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:01.799
 that is marked

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:03.039
 by the sweetness

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:04.100
 of the gospel

00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:05.799
 in the glory of God

00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.460
 in transforming our life.

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:08.840
 You will be a person

00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:09.620
 of praise

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:10.480
 if you are a person

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.259
 of God.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.440
 That's what

00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.419
 Isaiah wants us to understand.

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:16.919
 That is the thrust

00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:19.279
 of today's message.

00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:20.379
 Are you

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.320
 a person

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:22.639
 of praise?

00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.120
 As we look here

00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.439
 in the first three verses,

00:09:27.659 --> 00:09:28.679
 we see

00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.240
 this rising theme

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:32.399
 coming to the surface.

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:33.659
 First,

00:09:33.819 --> 00:09:34.639
 I want you to notice

00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:35.539
 that the expression,

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:37.240
 the ultimate expression

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.899
 of a people of God

00:09:39.899 --> 00:09:41.159
 is marked

00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:42.179
 by praise.

00:09:42.699 --> 00:09:43.419
 This is

00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:45.179
 the ultimate expression

00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:46.419
 of the people

00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:47.100
 of God.

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:49.279
 Notice what it says

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.460
 in that first phrase.

00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:50.980
 It says,

00:09:50.980 --> 00:09:52.320
 you will say

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.420
 in that day.

00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:56.879
 Isaiah points

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.440
 to a day

00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:57.980
 of awakening.

00:09:59.259 --> 00:09:59.639
 A day

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:00.779
 really of resurgence

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:01.860
 and revival

00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:02.639
 in the hearts

00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:03.600
 of the people

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.120
 of Israel.

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:05.800
 We'll look briefly

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:06.899
 in just a few moments

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:07.539
 at kind of the

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:08.840
 historical background.

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:10.340
 Where was this people

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:11.580
 in relationship

00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:13.300
 to spiritual

00:10:13.300 --> 00:10:14.159
 vitality?

00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:17.519
 Isaiah wants

00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.379
 these people

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:18.920
 to understand

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.079
 that it might not

00:10:20.079 --> 00:10:21.139
 mark their

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.679
 current position,

00:10:22.979 --> 00:10:23.959
 their current

00:10:23.959 --> 00:10:25.120
 posture of life,

00:10:25.259 --> 00:10:26.599
 but it will be true

00:10:26.599 --> 00:10:28.240
 of a future people

00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:29.659
 that God has

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:30.819
 created for himself,

00:10:30.899 --> 00:10:31.419
 a people

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:32.639
 who are to be

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:33.120
 marked

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:34.159
 as a people

00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:34.759
 of praise.

00:10:35.899 --> 00:10:37.299
 This Hebrew word

00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:37.860
 of praise

00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:40.159
 is translated

00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:40.919
 thanksgiving

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:41.399
 or praise

00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:42.360
 interchangeably

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:42.860
 throughout

00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:44.039
 the Old Testament.

00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.099
 and one commentator

00:10:47.099 --> 00:10:47.860
 puts it this way.

00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:49.079
 He says,

00:10:49.199 --> 00:10:50.199
 any revival

00:10:50.199 --> 00:10:50.959
 of religion

00:10:50.959 --> 00:10:52.480
 which may yet

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.379
 come to the world

00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:54.699
 will be marked

00:10:54.699 --> 00:10:55.860
 by a new

00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:56.579
 outburst

00:10:56.579 --> 00:10:58.000
 of thanksgiving.

00:10:59.599 --> 00:11:00.419
 You want to see

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:01.599
 revival in this land?

00:11:02.939 --> 00:11:03.579
 Do you want to see

00:11:03.579 --> 00:11:04.299
 a resurgence

00:11:04.299 --> 00:11:05.199
 of people

00:11:05.199 --> 00:11:06.539
 captured

00:11:06.539 --> 00:11:08.639
 by the image

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.860
 and glory

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:10.719
 of Christ?

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.180
 it will happen

00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:14.759
 as you

00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.740
 are struck

00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:16.420
 yourself

00:11:16.420 --> 00:11:17.759
 with a vision

00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:18.620
 of God's glory

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:20.139
 and you proclaim

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:21.500
 it to yourself

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:22.180
 and to others

00:11:22.180 --> 00:11:22.980
 around you

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:24.860
 as your life

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:26.060
 is again marked

00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:27.500
 by thanksgiving

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:28.060
 and praise.

00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:29.779
 The words

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:30.399
 of this song

00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:31.740
 are drawn

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:32.560
 through the

00:11:32.560 --> 00:11:33.639
 collection of

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.000
 scriptures

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.320
 throughout the

00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:35.940
 Old Testament

00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:37.300
 which help us

00:11:37.300 --> 00:11:37.840
 understand

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.200
 this doesn't

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:39.800
 just mark

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.099
 a future people

00:11:41.099 --> 00:11:41.620
 but this is

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:42.139
 the people

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:42.539
 that God

00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:43.079
 had called

00:11:43.079 --> 00:11:44.059
 Israel to be

00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:44.899
 all along.

00:11:46.099 --> 00:11:46.419
 They were to be

00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:46.879
 a people

00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:47.639
 of praise.

00:11:48.659 --> 00:11:49.240
 We see it

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:49.939
 as the people

00:11:49.939 --> 00:11:50.919
 are coming out

00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:52.539
 of the nation

00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:53.319
 of Egypt

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:54.319
 and crossing

00:11:54.319 --> 00:11:55.699
 through the Red Sea.

00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:57.479
 The same words

00:11:57.479 --> 00:11:58.139
 that we find

00:11:58.139 --> 00:12:00.439
 in this chapter

00:12:00.439 --> 00:12:01.199
 this morning

00:12:01.199 --> 00:12:02.299
 are the words

00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:03.039
 that first

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.899
 showed up

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:05.579
 in those moments

00:12:05.579 --> 00:12:06.779
 those moments

00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:07.439
 of rescue

00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:08.880
 that featured

00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:09.920
 his glory

00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:11.240
 that identified

00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:12.620
 the future hope

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:13.500
 that the people

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:13.960
 would have

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:14.360
 as they would

00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:14.960
 move into

00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:15.920
 the promised land

00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:16.660
 as they would

00:12:16.660 --> 00:12:17.740
 make God

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:18.840
 the central

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:19.660
 focus of their

00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:20.200
 lives.

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.680
 But Isaiah

00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:27.920
 is anticipating

00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:29.140
 a future day.

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:30.720
 A future day

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.180
 when all of this

00:12:32.180 --> 00:12:33.240
 will really

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:33.940
 become

00:12:33.940 --> 00:12:35.740
 alive

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:37.240
 and consuming

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:38.300
 for the people

00:12:38.300 --> 00:12:38.780
 of God.

00:12:39.880 --> 00:12:40.480
 There will be

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:40.880
 a day

00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:42.300
 of enduring

00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:43.040
 praise

00:12:43.040 --> 00:12:43.760
 and thanks.

00:12:45.160 --> 00:12:45.940
 Many things

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:46.560
 would characterize

00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:47.100
 that day

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:48.000
 but the one thing

00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:48.900
 that would stand

00:12:48.900 --> 00:12:49.600
 out head and

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.160
 shoulders above

00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:50.720
 the rest

00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.000
 the prevailing

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.860
 theme of their

00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:54.440
 lives

00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:54.980
 would be

00:12:54.980 --> 00:12:56.060
 marked

00:12:56.060 --> 00:12:57.340
 by Thanksgiving.

00:12:58.380 --> 00:12:58.860
 A people

00:12:58.860 --> 00:12:59.380
 marked

00:12:59.380 --> 00:13:00.620
 by thanks.

00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:02.400
 I want to

00:13:02.400 --> 00:13:02.820
 show you

00:13:02.820 --> 00:13:03.860
 just three ways

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:04.800
 in this passage

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:05.700
 that the people

00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:06.160
 are thankful.

00:13:06.280 --> 00:13:06.860
 What are they

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.820
 thankful for?

00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:09.300
 How can we

00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:10.000
 emulate their

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.460
 example?

00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:11.180
 What do we

00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:11.800
 see here

00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:12.080
 in these

00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:12.620
 first three

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:12.940
 verses

00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:13.780
 that help

00:13:13.780 --> 00:13:14.240
 us

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.260
 understand

00:13:15.260 --> 00:13:15.940
 what we

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:16.860
 as people

00:13:16.860 --> 00:13:17.180
 of God

00:13:17.180 --> 00:13:17.740
 also

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:18.580
 need to be

00:13:18.580 --> 00:13:19.200
 thankful for?

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:20.900
 Notice

00:13:20.900 --> 00:13:21.560
 right here

00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:22.040
 at the beginning

00:13:22.040 --> 00:13:23.320
 of verse 1

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.480
 it says this

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.500
 I will give

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:26.260
 thanks to you

00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:26.660
 O Lord

00:13:26.660 --> 00:13:28.440
 for though

00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:28.920
 you were

00:13:28.920 --> 00:13:30.320
 angry with me

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.560
 your anger

00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:32.740
 turned away.

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:34.140
 first of all

00:13:34.140 --> 00:13:34.440
 they were

00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:35.260
 thankful for

00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:35.980
 discipline.

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.480
 Do you find

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:39.080
 yourself being

00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:39.680
 thankful for

00:13:39.680 --> 00:13:40.020
 discipline?

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.840
 Or do you

00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:42.600
 find yourself

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:43.180
 being thankful

00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:43.580
 that you

00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.140
 escaped

00:13:44.140 --> 00:13:44.820
 discipline?

00:13:46.660 --> 00:13:47.800
 Oh man

00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:48.920
 discipline is

00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:49.300
 not

00:13:49.300 --> 00:13:51.520
 something that

00:13:51.520 --> 00:13:51.980
 we enjoy.

00:13:53.260 --> 00:13:54.340
 But here are

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:54.940
 the people of

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:55.500
 Israel looking

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:57.360
 back on the

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.500
 legacy of their

00:13:58.500 --> 00:13:59.400
 lives and

00:13:59.400 --> 00:14:00.400
 they understand

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:01.419
 God

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:02.459
 graciously

00:14:02.459 --> 00:14:04.120
 intervened.

00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:05.579
 God stood

00:14:05.579 --> 00:14:06.199
 in the way

00:14:06.199 --> 00:14:07.340
 he prevented

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:07.959
 them from

00:14:07.959 --> 00:14:09.559
 going where

00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:10.000
 they could

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:10.340
 go.

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.399
 He helped

00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.100
 to call

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:13.620
 them back

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.259
 to himself

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:14.740
 and in

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:15.399
 that way

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.360
 his grace

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:17.039
 showed up

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:17.459
 in their

00:14:17.459 --> 00:14:17.919
 lives.

00:14:18.959 --> 00:14:19.279
 And for

00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:19.819
 that

00:14:19.819 --> 00:14:21.240
 for that

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:21.639
 they give

00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.100
 praise

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:22.620
 for that

00:14:22.620 --> 00:14:22.980
 they give

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:23.519
 thanks.

00:14:24.139 --> 00:14:25.199
 They understand

00:14:25.199 --> 00:14:25.779
 that discipline

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.620
 had a purpose

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:28.659
 and so in

00:14:28.659 --> 00:14:29.299
 the discipline

00:14:29.299 --> 00:14:31.340
 they are

00:14:31.340 --> 00:14:31.759
 grateful.

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:33.139
 They praise

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:34.220
 in the name

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:34.940
 of God.

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.179
 God was

00:14:37.179 --> 00:14:38.399
 justly angry

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:38.820
 with a

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.580
 disobedient

00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:40.360
 and an

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.139
 unfaithful

00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:41.740
 people.

00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:43.379
 We see it

00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:43.879
 right at the

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.740
 outset of

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.779
 Isaiah in

00:14:45.779 --> 00:14:46.379
 chapter 1.

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:46.940
 Turn with me

00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:47.480
 just for a

00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:47.720
 second.

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:48.200
 Keep your

00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:49.060
 finger in

00:14:49.060 --> 00:14:49.860
 chapter 12.

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:51.419
 Just by way

00:14:51.419 --> 00:14:51.919
 of reminder

00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:52.460
 in Isaiah

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.159
 chapter 1

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:54.419
 what do we

00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:55.000
 know about

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.680
 these people

00:14:55.680 --> 00:14:56.500
 in verse 4?

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:58.960
 Here's what

00:14:58.960 --> 00:14:59.500
 it says.

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:00.519
 Ah,

00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:02.240
 sinful nation

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.580
 of people

00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:04.139
 laden

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:04.840
 with iniquity

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.000
 offspring

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:06.940
 of evildoers

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:07.360
 children

00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.259
 who deal

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:08.879
 corruptly

00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:09.799
 they have

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:10.399
 forsaken

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:11.120
 the Lord

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:11.620
 they have

00:15:11.620 --> 00:15:12.480
 despised

00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:13.019
 the Holy

00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:13.379
 One

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:14.299
 of Israel

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:14.960
 they are

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.419
 utterly

00:15:15.419 --> 00:15:16.740
 estranged

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:18.379
 from the

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:19.000
 lowest

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:19.740
 dregs of

00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:20.159
 society

00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:20.500
 to the

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:20.759
 upper

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:21.519
 classes

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:21.980
 of the

00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:22.440
 palace

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.740
 sin

00:15:23.740 --> 00:15:23.940
 had

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:24.519
 permeated

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:24.700
 this

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:25.060
 people

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:26.559
 wholesale

00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:27.419
 rebellion

00:15:27.419 --> 00:15:27.899
 and turning

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:28.419
 away from

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:28.759
 God

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.119
 we see

00:15:30.119 --> 00:15:30.699
 that over

00:15:30.699 --> 00:15:31.479
 and over

00:15:31.479 --> 00:15:32.219
 as an

00:15:32.219 --> 00:15:32.619
 anthem

00:15:32.619 --> 00:15:33.219
 through the

00:15:33.219 --> 00:15:34.779
 first and

00:15:34.779 --> 00:15:35.519
 second kings

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:36.179
 and first and

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:36.979
 second chronicles

00:15:36.979 --> 00:15:37.459
 of people

00:15:37.459 --> 00:15:37.759
 who had

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:38.519
 given themselves

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.039
 over

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:39.979
 to the

00:15:39.979 --> 00:15:40.339
 vile

00:15:40.339 --> 00:15:40.979
 practices

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:42.539
 of society

00:15:42.539 --> 00:15:43.340
 of the

00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:43.860
 nations

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:44.740
 surrounding

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:45.100
 them

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.740
 but in

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:48.200
 that day

00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:48.580
 there would

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:48.879
 be

00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.580
 something

00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:50.680
 different

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:51.879
 in that

00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:52.100
 day

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:52.420
 there would

00:15:52.420 --> 00:15:52.580
 be

00:15:52.580 --> 00:15:53.220
 spiritual

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:54.000
 resurgence

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.840
 but in

00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:55.600
 this day

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.379
 it was

00:15:57.379 --> 00:15:57.960
 marked by

00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:58.620
 compromise

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.460
 it was

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:00.060
 remarked

00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:00.600
 by

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.240
 rebellion

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.180
 even as

00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:03.539
 Isaiah

00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:04.300
 writes this

00:16:04.300 --> 00:16:04.800
 prophecy

00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:05.639
 during the

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:06.159
 reign of

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.000
 Uzziah

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.159
 and Jotham

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:09.279
 and Ahaz

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.059
 and Hezekiah

00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:11.179
 although

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:12.620
 Uzziah and

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:13.000
 Jotham

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.339
 kind of

00:16:13.339 --> 00:16:14.039
 stand as

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.439
 those who

00:16:15.439 --> 00:16:16.039
 were devoted

00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:16.519
 to God

00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.039
 at least for

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.620
 a portion

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:18.100
 of their

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:19.500
 leadership

00:16:19.500 --> 00:16:22.679
 for some

00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.179
 reason

00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:24.000
 action had

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:24.439
 not taken

00:16:24.439 --> 00:16:25.019
 place

00:16:25.019 --> 00:16:26.139
 in and

00:16:26.139 --> 00:16:26.600
 among the

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:26.899
 people

00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:27.600
 themselves

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:28.980
 we find

00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:29.360
 in second

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:29.799
 kings

00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:30.819
 that Uzziah

00:16:30.819 --> 00:16:31.240
 did what was

00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:31.819
 right in the

00:16:31.819 --> 00:16:32.179
 sight of the

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:32.539
 lord

00:16:32.539 --> 00:16:33.939
 according to

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:34.480
 all that his

00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:35.439
 father Amaziah

00:16:35.439 --> 00:16:35.919
 had done

00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:36.319
 except

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.500
 that the

00:16:37.500 --> 00:16:38.100
 high places

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:38.460
 were not

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:38.900
 removed

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:41.060
 the people

00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:41.800
 still

00:16:41.800 --> 00:16:42.920
 sacrificed

00:16:42.920 --> 00:16:43.980
 and burned

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:44.400
 incense

00:16:44.400 --> 00:16:44.980
 on the

00:16:44.980 --> 00:16:45.600
 high places

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:47.620
 King Jotham

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:48.320
 was just

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:48.860
 like his

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.200
 father

00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:49.680
 Uzziah

00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:50.620
 he did

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:50.840
 what was

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.260
 right in

00:16:51.260 --> 00:16:51.580
 the sight

00:16:51.580 --> 00:16:51.780
 of the

00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:52.000
 lord

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:52.460
 he did

00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:52.840
 according

00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:53.180
 to all

00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:53.460
 that his

00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:53.720
 father

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.120
 Uzziah

00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.520
 had done

00:16:54.520 --> 00:16:55.060
 however

00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:56.340
 the high

00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:56.680
 places

00:16:56.680 --> 00:16:57.080
 were not

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.580
 removed

00:16:57.580 --> 00:16:58.379
 the people

00:16:58.379 --> 00:16:58.740
 still

00:16:58.740 --> 00:16:59.400
 sacrificed

00:16:59.400 --> 00:16:59.860
 and burned

00:16:59.860 --> 00:17:00.280
 incense

00:17:00.280 --> 00:17:00.840
 on the

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.460
 high places

00:17:01.460 --> 00:17:03.080
 and so

00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:03.720
 the compromise

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:04.299
 that showed

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:04.840
 up in

00:17:04.840 --> 00:17:05.779
 Uzziah

00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:06.879
 and in

00:17:06.879 --> 00:17:07.420
 Jotham

00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:08.899
 took flight

00:17:08.899 --> 00:17:10.920
 in the

00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:11.259
 ruling

00:17:11.259 --> 00:17:12.599
 of Ahaz

00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.319
 this son

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.279
 and grandson

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.220
 now shows

00:17:18.220 --> 00:17:19.500
 the wickedness

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:20.680
 and the lack

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:21.299
 of training

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:23.559
 that were

00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.180
 represented

00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:24.940
 in his

00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:25.519
 father

00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:26.420
 and grandfather

00:17:26.420 --> 00:17:28.180
 of Ahaz

00:17:28.180 --> 00:17:28.599
 it says

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:29.220
 he walked

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:29.960
 in the way

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.519
 of the kings

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:30.980
 of Israel

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:32.579
 indeed he made

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.079
 his sons

00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:33.660
 to pass

00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:34.319
 through the fire

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:35.579
 according to

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:36.379
 the abominations

00:17:36.379 --> 00:17:36.960
 of the nations

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.559
 whom the lord

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:38.460
 had cast

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:38.919
 out from

00:17:38.919 --> 00:17:39.500
 before the

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:39.899
 children of

00:17:39.899 --> 00:17:40.159
 Israel

00:17:40.159 --> 00:17:40.679
 and he

00:17:40.679 --> 00:17:41.339
 sacrificed

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:42.279
 and burned

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:42.740
 incense

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:43.259
 on the

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:43.960
 high places

00:17:43.960 --> 00:17:45.240
 on the

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:45.639
 hills

00:17:45.639 --> 00:17:47.039
 and under

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.500
 every

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:48.460
 green tree

00:17:48.460 --> 00:17:48.980
 or tree

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:50.960
 and during

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.439
 the writing

00:17:51.439 --> 00:17:52.099
 of this

00:17:52.099 --> 00:17:52.679
 prophecy

00:17:52.679 --> 00:17:53.359
 of Isaiah

00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:54.839
 God is

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.579
 giving a

00:17:55.579 --> 00:17:56.139
 vivid

00:17:56.139 --> 00:17:57.159
 clear

00:17:57.159 --> 00:17:57.980
 example

00:17:57.980 --> 00:17:58.799
 to the

00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.259
 nation

00:17:59.259 --> 00:17:59.779
 of Judah

00:17:59.779 --> 00:18:00.559
 what will

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:01.019
 happen

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:02.139
 when a

00:18:02.139 --> 00:18:03.079
 people turn

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:03.599
 their back

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.139
 on God

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:05.519
 the northern

00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:06.500
 ten tribes

00:18:06.500 --> 00:18:07.699
 those tribes

00:18:07.699 --> 00:18:08.379
 of Israel

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:08.939
 that had

00:18:08.939 --> 00:18:09.699
 split off

00:18:09.699 --> 00:18:09.980
 from the

00:18:09.980 --> 00:18:10.299
 kingdom

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:12.359
 would experience

00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:14.039
 the disciplining

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:15.359
 hand of God

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:16.639
 on their lives

00:18:16.639 --> 00:18:17.619
 on their nation

00:18:17.619 --> 00:18:18.720
 as a result

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.500
 of their

00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.000
 rebellion

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:20.439
 and turning

00:18:20.439 --> 00:18:20.899
 away

00:18:20.899 --> 00:18:22.480
 from the

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:22.899
 God of

00:18:22.899 --> 00:18:23.220
 Israel

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:25.199
 Judah would

00:18:25.199 --> 00:18:25.679
 be able to

00:18:25.679 --> 00:18:26.199
 see up

00:18:26.199 --> 00:18:26.819
 close and

00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:27.299
 personal

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.319
 first hand

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:29.199
 what happens

00:18:29.199 --> 00:18:30.539
 when a nation

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:31.159
 turns their

00:18:31.159 --> 00:18:32.199
 back on God

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:33.220
 they would

00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:33.620
 have this

00:18:33.620 --> 00:18:34.779
 object lesson

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:35.740
 play out

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.220
 right in

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:36.500
 front of

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:36.720
 them

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.779
 the empire

00:18:40.779 --> 00:18:41.940
 of Assyria

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.500
 was rising

00:18:42.500 --> 00:18:42.980
 to power

00:18:42.980 --> 00:18:45.059
 we find

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:45.940
 from 2nd

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.240
 Kings

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.100
 chapter 15

00:18:47.100 --> 00:18:47.840
 directly

00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:48.420
 after

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:49.519
 during the

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.160
 tail end

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:51.480
 of Uzziah's

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:51.980
 leadership

00:18:51.980 --> 00:18:53.059
 we find

00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:53.720
 some things

00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.440
 beginning to

00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:55.340
 break loose

00:18:55.340 --> 00:18:56.660
 in the northern

00:18:56.660 --> 00:18:57.500
 ten tribes

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:58.400
 in relationship

00:18:58.400 --> 00:18:59.319
 to this

00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:00.640
 rising empire

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:01.259
 of Assyria

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:02.680
 it says

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.460
 the king

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.059
 of Assyria

00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:04.859
 came against

00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:05.519
 the land

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:07.039
 he demanded

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.559
 tribute

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:08.420
 from the

00:19:08.420 --> 00:19:08.799
 king

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.819
 of Israel

00:19:09.819 --> 00:19:10.980
 who

00:19:10.980 --> 00:19:11.879
 then depleted

00:19:11.879 --> 00:19:12.480
 the funds

00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:13.460
 of all

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:14.200
 the wealthy

00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:14.859
 individuals

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:15.220
 who were

00:19:15.220 --> 00:19:15.579
 living

00:19:15.579 --> 00:19:16.400
 in the

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:16.799
 nation

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.160
 in order

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:18.559
 to turn

00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:19.039
 back

00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:19.619
 Assyria

00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:20.440
 from attacking

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:20.799
 them

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.160
 well that

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:22.819
 worked for

00:19:22.819 --> 00:19:23.299
 a couple

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:23.819
 of years

00:19:23.819 --> 00:19:24.539
 but it

00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:25.019
 didn't take

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.420
 long

00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:25.940
 before that

00:19:25.940 --> 00:19:26.619
 same king

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:27.000
 would come

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:27.460
 back

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:28.559
 and begin

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:29.120
 to conquer

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:29.660
 all the

00:19:29.660 --> 00:19:30.059
 lands

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:30.700
 surrounding

00:19:30.700 --> 00:19:31.059
 those

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:31.720
 northern

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.079
 ten

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.579
 tribes

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:35.240
 decimating

00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:35.720
 the cities

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:36.200
 and taking

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:36.720
 the people

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.420
 captive

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:38.240
 to Assyria

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.360
 Ahaz

00:19:40.360 --> 00:19:41.160
 and seeing

00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:42.420
 this rising

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:43.100
 threat

00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:44.440
 says I'm

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:44.620
 going to

00:19:44.620 --> 00:19:45.460
 make a

00:19:45.460 --> 00:19:47.299
 preemptive

00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:48.480
 decision

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:49.740
 I'm going to

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.059
 make a

00:19:50.059 --> 00:19:50.400
 political

00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:50.880
 decision

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:51.420
 to align

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:51.860
 myself

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:52.420
 with Assyria

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:53.079
 so if

00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:53.819
 they make

00:19:53.819 --> 00:19:54.460
 it through

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:55.799
 Israel

00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:56.980
 that will

00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.519
 be safe

00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:57.819
 as a

00:19:57.819 --> 00:19:58.139
 nation

00:19:58.139 --> 00:19:58.599
 of Judah

00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:00.179
 so he

00:20:00.179 --> 00:20:00.619
 sends

00:20:00.619 --> 00:20:01.539
 tribute

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:02.039
 to the

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.200
 king

00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:02.700
 of Assyria

00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:03.919
 and in

00:20:03.919 --> 00:20:04.319
 sending

00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:04.879
 tribute

00:20:04.879 --> 00:20:05.299
 to the

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:05.460
 king

00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:06.019
 of Assyria

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:06.639
 all of

00:20:06.639 --> 00:20:06.899
 those

00:20:06.899 --> 00:20:07.359
 nations

00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:07.700
 who had

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.700
 been opposed

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.619
 to Assyria

00:20:09.619 --> 00:20:10.559
 now begin

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.659
 to return

00:20:11.659 --> 00:20:12.720
 and retool

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.419
 their focus

00:20:13.419 --> 00:20:14.639
 now it's

00:20:14.639 --> 00:20:14.819
 going to

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:15.159
 come on

00:20:15.159 --> 00:20:15.519
 to Judah

00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.819
 the kingdoms

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.559
 of Israel

00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:20.720
 and Damascus

00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:22.579
 and even

00:20:22.579 --> 00:20:23.240
 the Edomites

00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:23.500
 and the

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:24.160
 Philistines

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.460
 begin to

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:26.539
 align

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:27.200
 themselves

00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:27.859
 against

00:20:27.859 --> 00:20:28.319
 Judah

00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:29.279
 and now

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:29.620
 Ahaz

00:20:29.620 --> 00:20:29.900
 has a

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:30.160
 problem

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:32.059
 so what

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:32.240
 does he

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.519
 do

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.920
 instead of

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:34.240
 turning

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:35.339
 to the

00:20:35.339 --> 00:20:35.620
 Lord

00:20:35.620 --> 00:20:36.279
 and asking

00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:36.920
 for help

00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:37.480
 from God

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:38.480
 he turns

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.359
 to human

00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:40.039
 strength

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:41.620
 he sends

00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:42.220
 more money

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:42.740
 to the

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:43.079
 king of

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.500
 Assyria

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:44.539
 and Assyria

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:45.180
 comes

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:47.099
 he gives

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:47.720
 assistance

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:49.500
 and decimates

00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:50.500
 Damascus

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:52.460
 Ahaz

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:52.859
 would meet

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:53.319
 him there

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:53.919
 the king

00:20:53.919 --> 00:20:55.000
 of Assyria

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.679
 and not

00:20:56.679 --> 00:20:57.179
 only would

00:20:57.179 --> 00:20:57.759
 enter into

00:20:57.759 --> 00:20:58.359
 a binding

00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:58.919
 treaty

00:20:58.919 --> 00:20:59.919
 with him

00:20:59.919 --> 00:21:00.979
 but would

00:21:00.979 --> 00:21:02.019
 now import

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:03.059
 a new

00:21:03.059 --> 00:21:03.579

00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:35.079
 comfort

00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:35.579
 we find

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:36.579
 in verse

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:36.879
 one

00:24:36.879 --> 00:24:38.119
 it says

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:38.500
 for though

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.819
 you were

 angry

00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:39.619
 with me

00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:40.420
 your anger

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:41.659
 turned away

00:24:41.659 --> 00:24:42.639
 that you

00:24:42.639 --> 00:24:43.299
 might

00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:44.119
 comfort

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.059
 me

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:46.839

00:24:50.859 --> 00:24:51.319
 life

00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:52.680
 is to

 lead us

00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:53.500
 to comfort

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:55.480
 to lead

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:56.819
 to

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:57.559
 recognizing

00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:59.259
 that God

00:24:59.259 --> 00:24:59.879

 of correction

00:25:04.900 --> 00:25:05.680

 refreshment

00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:09.460
 refreshment

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:09.779

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:10.599
 only be

00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:11.000
 found

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.640
 in God

00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.059
 as we

00:25:13.059 --> 00:25:13.680

00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:17.279
 this

 he says

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:17.859
 blessed

00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.660

 God

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:25.160
 of

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:31.180
 the God

00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:31.519
 that we

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.079
 serve

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:33.180
 the God

00:25:33.180 --> 00:25:33.819

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:35.339
 and thus

00:25:35.339 --> 00:25:35.920
 the God

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:36.200
 who is

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:36.640
 worthy

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.660

00:25:37.660 --> 00:25:38.120
 praise

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:38.900
 today

00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:40.920
 it is

00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:41.259
 our

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:41.880
 impulse

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.599
 to run

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:43.660
 to

00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:44.180
 comfort

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:45.279
 when we

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:45.480
 feel

00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:45.799
 pain

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.960
 the world

00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:48.660
 offers many

00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:49.279

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:50.360
 to console

00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:50.860
 or to

00:25:50.860 --> 00:25:51.440
 ease

00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.099
 our

00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:52.500
 pain

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:55.160

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:02.039
 vacation

00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:03.159
 anything

00:26:03.159 --> 00:26:04.099
 to escape

00:26:04.099 --> 00:26:05.159
 the immediate

00:26:05.159 --> 00:26:06.019
 effects

00:26:06.019 --> 00:26:07.159
 of difficulty

00:26:07.159 --> 00:26:08.159
 and suffering

00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:09.980
 but there is

00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:10.579
 only one

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:11.179
 comfort that

00:26:11.179 --> 00:26:11.659
 satisfies

00:26:11.659 --> 00:26:13.559
 the comfort

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:14.299
 that is only

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:14.879
 found

00:26:14.879 --> 00:26:15.759
 in God

00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:17.559
 and when

00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.419
 we experience

00:26:18.419 --> 00:26:19.159
 his comfort

00:26:19.159 --> 00:26:19.599
 even

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.619
 in the midst

00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:21.220
 of pain

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:22.159
 it leads

00:26:22.159 --> 00:26:22.980
 to joy

00:26:22.980 --> 00:26:24.500
 that expresses

00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:25.279
 itself

00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:26.419
 in thanks

00:26:26.420 --> 00:26:27.740
 that

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:28.440
 is the

00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:28.779
 message

00:26:35.140 --> 00:26:35.560
 to him

00:26:35.560 --> 00:26:37.940
 is that

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:38.400
 the common

00:26:47.620 --> 00:26:48.340
 periodically

00:26:48.340 --> 00:26:48.640
 but

00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:40.240
 become

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.340
 my

00:27:41.340 --> 00:27:42.299
 salvation

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:45.900
 Isaiah

00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:46.400
 says

00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:47.759
 if you

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:47.880
 are

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:48.360
 people

00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:48.600
 of

00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:48.940
 God

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:49.440
 you

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:49.600
 will

00:27:49.600 --> 00:27:49.800
 be

00:27:49.800 --> 00:27:50.259
 thankful

00:27:50.259 --> 00:27:51.259
 for

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.980
 salvation

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:53.620
 thankful

00:27:53.620 --> 00:27:54.340
 for

00:27:54.340 --> 00:27:55.120
 salvation

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:56.960
 in

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:57.400
 verse 2

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:57.860
 we find

00:27:57.860 --> 00:27:58.080
 this

00:27:58.080 --> 00:27:58.680
 grammatical

00:27:58.680 --> 00:27:59.220
 expression

00:27:59.220 --> 00:27:59.900
 that lacks

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:00.360
 a verb

00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:01.840
 so that

00:28:01.840 --> 00:28:02.480
 literally

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.860
 it's

00:28:02.860 --> 00:28:03.380
 behold

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:03.960
 God

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:04.759
 salvation

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.360
 of

00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:05.720
 me

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:08.759
 thus

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.160
 God

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:09.720
 is

00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:10.759
 salvation

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:13.280
 not

00:28:13.280 --> 00:28:13.720
 just

00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:14.019
 that

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:14.360
 God

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:15.220
 saves

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:16.440
 or

00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:16.579
 that

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:16.839
 God

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:17.480
 rescues

00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:17.720
 as

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:17.880
 though

00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:18.120
 he

00:28:18.120 --> 00:28:18.279
 were

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:18.559
 one

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:18.700
 of

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:18.980
 many

00:28:18.980 --> 00:28:19.480
 answers

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:19.740
 to

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:20.100
 life's

00:28:20.100 --> 00:28:20.480
 problems

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:22.200
 but

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.380
 that

00:28:22.380 --> 00:28:22.740
 God

00:28:22.740 --> 00:28:23.600
 is

 salvation

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:27.539
 rescue

00:28:27.539 --> 00:28:27.819
 and

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:28.380
 deliverance

00:28:28.380 --> 00:28:28.539
 and

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:28.880
 help

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.299
 will

00:28:29.299 --> 00:28:29.600
 not

00:28:29.600 --> 00:28:30.039
 come

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.460
 any

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:31.019
 other

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:31.660
 way

00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:33.620
 since

00:28:33.620 --> 00:28:33.900
 God

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.100
 is

00:28:34.100 --> 00:28:34.600
 salvation

00:28:34.600 --> 00:28:35.400
 it

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:35.720
 cannot

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:36.380
 come

00:28:36.380 --> 00:28:37.400
 independently

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:38.460
 of

00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:38.700
 him

00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:39.900
 it

00:28:39.900 --> 00:28:40.059
 is

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:40.559
 only

00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:41.220
 as

00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:41.360
 you

00:28:41.360 --> 00:28:41.559
 look

 to

00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:42.140
 God

00:28:42.819 --> 00:28:42.960
 you

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.220
 can

 look

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:44.620
 to

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:45.239
 salvation

00:28:45.239 --> 00:28:47.199
 attention

00:28:47.199 --> 00:28:47.439
 is

00:28:47.439 --> 00:28:47.839
 directed

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.639
 to

00:28:48.639 --> 00:28:48.939
 God

00:28:48.939 --> 00:28:49.119
 who

00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:49.339
 is

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:49.539
 the

 epitome

00:28:49.979 --> 00:28:50.199
 of

 God's

00:28:51.579 --> 00:28:51.979

00:28:51.979 --> 00:28:52.239

00:28:52.239 --> 00:28:52.599
 not

00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:53.059
 an

00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:40.119
 that

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:40.500
 God

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:41.000
 is

 source

00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:42.640
 or

 the

00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:43.440
 source

00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:43.640
 of

00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:44.160
 salvation

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.099
 that

00:29:45.099 --> 00:29:45.480
 delivers

00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:46.059
 people

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.359
 from

 anything

00:29:46.859 --> 00:29:47.759
 that

 them

00:29:49.859 --> 00:29:50.099
 this

00:29:50.099 --> 00:29:50.299
 is

00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:50.839
 significant

00:29:50.839 --> 00:29:51.400
 because

00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:53.299
 if

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:53.660
 God

00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:54.500
 saves

00:29:54.500 --> 00:29:55.160
 not

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:55.599
 just

00:29:57.859 --> 00:29:58.119
 you

00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:58.440

 moment

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:00.680
 it

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:00.859
 means

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:01.019
 that

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:01.220
 God

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:01.400
 has

 up

 declaring

00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:52.119
 the deeds

00:36:58.240 --> 00:36:58.820
 understood

00:36:58.820 --> 00:37:01.420
 maybe

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:01.980
 because we

00:37:01.980 --> 00:37:02.440
 follow the

00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:02.780
 world's

00:37:02.780 --> 00:37:03.199
 strategies

00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.139
 maybe

00:37:05.139 --> 00:37:05.820
 because we

00:37:05.820 --> 00:37:06.380
 work out

00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:06.920
 our own

00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:07.579
 solutions

00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:09.480
 maybe

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:10.300
 because we

00:37:10.300 --> 00:37:11.420
 let impatience

00:37:11.420 --> 00:37:12.019
 get the best

00:37:12.019 --> 00:37:12.460
 of us

00:37:12.460 --> 00:37:13.920
 we take

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:14.539
 matters into

00:37:14.539 --> 00:37:14.900
 our own

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:15.380
 hands

00:37:15.380 --> 00:37:17.280
 we pray

00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:17.579
 little

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:19.019
 we seek

00:37:19.019 --> 00:37:19.659
 wisdom

00:37:19.659 --> 00:37:20.300
 little

00:37:20.300 --> 00:37:21.840
 we seem

00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:22.300
 to only

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:22.900
 look to

00:37:22.900 --> 00:37:23.240
 God

00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:23.900
 when things

00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:24.700
 are out

00:37:24.700 --> 00:37:25.160
 of our

00:37:25.160 --> 00:37:25.640
 control

00:37:25.640 --> 00:37:27.180
 then and

00:37:27.180 --> 00:37:27.680
 only then

00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:27.940
 do we

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:28.320
 call for

00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:28.620
 help

00:37:28.620 --> 00:37:30.100
 and so

00:37:30.100 --> 00:37:30.380
 we

00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:31.120
 celebrate

00:37:31.120 --> 00:37:31.800
 our own

00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:32.380
 successes

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:34.600
 we feature

00:37:34.600 --> 00:37:35.519
 our own

00:37:35.519 --> 00:37:36.160

00:37:36.160 --> 00:37:38.420
 but those

00:37:39.160 --> 00:37:39.720
 with God

00:37:39.720 --> 00:37:41.560

00:37:41.560 --> 00:37:42.160
 of salvation

00:37:42.160 --> 00:37:42.980
 and look

00:37:42.980 --> 00:37:43.380
 to him

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:44.039
 for rescue

00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:45.700
 those are

 the ones

00:45:25.820 --> 00:45:26.580
 in comparison

00:45:26.579 --> 00:45:30.239
 but I

 liking it

00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.099
 it does

00:45:39.099 --> 00:45:40.319
 not tend

00:45:40.319 --> 00:45:40.840
 to be my

00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:42.139
 style in

 thanking God

00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:43.259
 for his

00:45:43.259 --> 00:45:44.319
 goodness when

00:45:44.319 --> 00:45:44.960
 it shows up

00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:45.239
 in my

00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:45.559
 life

00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.019
 and so

00:45:49.019 --> 00:45:51.139
 I don't

00:45:51.139 --> 00:45:51.980
 commend his

00:45:51.980 --> 00:45:52.480
 worthiness

00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:53.099
 to others

00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:57.039
 I

00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:58.920
 don't give

00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:00.099
 the opportunity

00:46:00.099 --> 00:46:01.339
 for him

00:46:01.339 --> 00:46:01.759
 to be

00:46:01.759 --> 00:46:02.259
 valued

00:46:02.259 --> 00:46:02.960
 in the

00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:03.539
 minds

00:46:03.539 --> 00:46:04.199
 of others

00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:07.699
 I leave

00:46:07.699 --> 00:46:09.440
 the gospel

00:46:09.440 --> 00:46:10.039
 obscure

00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:11.920
 I leave

00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:12.519
 the gospel

00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:13.259
 concealed

00:46:13.259 --> 00:46:14.980
 because I

00:46:14.980 --> 00:46:15.739
 don't choose

00:46:15.739 --> 00:46:16.420
 to thank

00:46:16.420 --> 00:46:17.920
