  it
• 0:54
  on

  a

  I'd

  encourage

  you

  check
• 0:57
  that

• 0:57
  In
• 0:57
  fact,
• 0:58
  Michael,
• 0:58
  as
• 0:58
  we
• 0:59
  mentioned,
• 0:59
  is
• 0:59
  the
• 0:59

  You'll

• 1:03
  various
• 1:04

• 1:06
  podcast
• 1:07
  from
• 1:07
  that,
• 1:08
  so
• 1:08
  I
• 1:08
  highly
• 1:08
  encourage
• 1:08
  you
• 1:09
  to
• 1:09
  check
• 1:09
  that
• 1:09
  out.
• 1:10
  So
• 1:10
  without
• 1:10
  further
• 1:10
  ado,
• 1:11
  verse
• 1:11
  57
• 1:11
  says,
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  Lord
• 1:12
  is
• 1:12
  my
• 1:12
  portion.
• 1:13
  I
• 1:14
  promise
• 1:14
  to
• 1:14
  keep
• 1:14
  your
• 1:15
  words.
• 1:15
  I
• 1:15
  entreat
• 1:16
  your
• 1:16
  favor
• 1:16
  with
• 1:17
  all
• 1:17
  my
• 1:17
  heart.
• 1:17
  Be
• 1:18
  gracious
• 1:19
  to
• 1:19
  me
• 1:19
  according
• 1:19
  to
• 1:20
  your
• 1:20
  promise.
• 1:20
  What
• 1:20
  do
• 1:20
  you
• 1:20
  have
• 1:20
  there?
• 1:21
  You're
• 1:21
  my
• 1:22
  portions.
• 1:22
  The
• 1:22
  first
• 1:22
  thing
• 1:23
  I
• 1:23
  thought
• 1:23
  about
• 1:23
  with
• 1:24
  God,
• 1:25
  I'm
• 1:25
  truly
• 1:26
  satisfied.
• 1:26
  I
• 1:27
  think
• 1:27
  we've
• 1:27
  all
• 1:27
  probably
• 1:28
  gone
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  buffet
• 1:29
  before
• 1:29
  and
• 1:30
  our
• 1:30
  eyes
• 1:30
  were
• 1:30
  bigger
• 1:30
  than
• 1:31
  our
• 1:31
  stomach
• 1:31
  and
• 1:32
  we
• 1:32
  got
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  lot
• 1:32
  more
• 1:32
  food
• 1:33
  than
• 1:33
  we
• 1:33
  actually
• 1:33
  thought
• 1:34
  we
• 1:34
  needed.
• 1:35
  By
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  end
• 1:35
  of
• 1:35
  the
• 1:36
  time
• 1:36
  that
• 1:36
  we
• 1:36
  were
• 1:36
  done
• 1:36
  eating,
• 1:36
  we
• 1:37
  looked
• 1:37
  at
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  plate
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  go,
• 1:38
  I
• 1:38
  got
• 1:38
  way
• 1:38
  too
• 1:38
  much
• 1:39
  with
• 1:39
  God.
• 1:40
  My
• 1:40
  eyes
• 1:40
  aren't
• 1:41
  too
• 1:41
  big
• 1:41
  for
• 1:41
  my
• 1:41
  stomach.
• 1:42
  I
• 1:42
  know
• 1:43
  exactly
• 1:43
  what
• 1:43
  I
• 1:43
  need.
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  have
• 1:44
  exactly
• 1:44
  what
• 1:45
  I
• 1:45
  need.
• 1:45
  This
• 1:46
  is
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  similar
• 1:47
  mindset
• 1:47
  found
• 1:48
  in
• 1:48
  Numbers
• 1:48
  18:20
• 1:49
  where
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  Lord
• 1:49
  says
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50
  Aaron,
• 1:50
  you'll
• 1:50
  have
• 1:50
  no
• 1:51
  inheritance
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  their
• 1:51
  land,
• 1:52
  nor
• 1:52
  shall
• 1:52
  you
• 1:52
  have
• 1:52
  any
• 1:53
  portion
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  their
• 1:54
  among
• 1:54
  them.
• 1:54
  I
• 1:55
  am
• 1:55
  your
• 1:55
  portion.
• 1:56
  And
• 1:56
  then
• 1:56
  you
• 1:57
  think
• 1:57
  about
• 1:57
  Psalm
• 1:57
  16:5
• 1:58
  O
• 1:59
  Lord,
• 1:59
  you
• 1:59
  are
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  portion
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  my
• 2:00
  inheritance,
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  my
• 2:01
  cup
• 2:02
  you
• 2:02
  maintain
• 2:02
  my
• 2:03
  lot.
• 2:03
  Even
• 2:03
  Jeremiah
• 2:04
  10:16,
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  portion
• 2:05
  of
• 2:05
  Jacob
• 2:06
  is
• 2:06
  not
• 2:07
  like
• 2:07
  them.
• 2:07
  He
• 2:07
  is
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  maker
• 2:08
  of
• 2:08
  all
• 2:08
  things.
• 2:09
  Israel
• 2:09
  is
• 2:09
  the
• 2:09
  tribe
• 2:10
  of
• 2:10
  his
• 2:10
  inheritance,
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  Lord
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  hosts
• 2:12
  is
• 2:12
  his
• 2:12
  name.
• 2:12
  And
• 2:12
  then
• 2:13
  Lamentations
• 2:13
  3:24,
• 2:14
  probably
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  one
• 2:15
  that
• 2:15
  we're
• 2:15
  all
• 2:15
  very
• 2:16
  familiar
• 2:16
  with
• 2:16
  because
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  song
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  Steadfast
• 2:18
  Love
• 2:18
  of
• 2:18
  the
• 2:18
  Lord.
• 2:19
  The
• 2:19
  Lord
• 2:20
  is
• 2:20
  my
• 2:20
  portion,
• 2:21
  says
• 2:21
  my
• 2:21
  soul,
• 2:22
  therefore
• 2:22
  I
• 2:23
  hope
• 2:23
  in
• 2:23
  him
• 2:23
  there's
• 2:23
  nothing
• 2:24
  better
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  nothing
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  can
• 2:27
  ever
• 2:27
  satisfy
• 2:27
  the
• 2:28
  psalmist
• 2:28
  or
• 2:28
  anyone
• 2:29
  else
• 2:30
  beyond
• 2:30
  God
• 2:30
  himself
• 2:31
  or
• 2:31
  above
• 2:31
  God
• 2:31
  himself.
• 2:32
  And
• 2:33
  this
• 2:33
  is
• 2:33
  really
• 2:33
  the
• 2:34
  broader
• 2:34
  context
• 2:35
  of
• 2:35
  Psalm
• 2:35
  119,
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  idea
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  God
• 2:37
  is
• 2:37
  dissatisfaction
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  writer
• 2:39
  because
• 2:40
  he
• 2:40
  came
• 2:40
  through
• 2:41
  his
• 2:41
  Word
• 2:41
  and
• 2:42
  he
• 2:42
  looks
• 2:42
  at
• 2:42
  his
• 2:43
  Word
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  says,
• 2:43
  this
• 2:44
  gives
• 2:44
  me
• 2:45
  everything
• 2:45
  that
• 2:45
  I
• 2:46
  need
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  have.
• 2:46
  Nothing
• 2:47
  else
• 2:47
  in
• 2:47
  life
• 2:47
  can
• 2:48
  really
• 2:48
  do
• 2:48
  that.
• 2:48
  And
• 2:48
  in
• 2:49
  doing
• 2:49
  this
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  this
• 2:50
  understanding,
• 2:51
  we
• 2:51
  see
• 2:51
  how
• 2:52
  we
• 2:52
  are
• 2:52
  able
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  face
• 2:52
  temptation.
• 2:53
  I
• 2:54
  think
• 2:54
  about
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  idea
• 2:54
  of
• 2:55
  we
• 2:55
  face
• 2:55
  it
• 2:55
  with
• 2:55
  the
• 2:56
  word
• 2:56
  of
• 2:56
  God.
• 2:56
  In
• 2:57
  1st
• 2:57
  Corinthians
• 2:57
  10:13
• 2:58
  when
• 2:59
  God
• 2:59
  is
• 2:59
  my
• 2:59
  portion,
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  look
• 3:00
  at
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  other
• 3:00
  examples
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  say
• 3:02
  they
• 3:02
  were
• 3:03
  fulfilled
• 3:03
  and
• 3:04
  filled
• 3:04
  without
• 3:05
  sin,
• 3:05
  therefore
• 3:06
  I
• 3:06
  should
• 3:06
  do
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  same
• 3:07
  thing.
• 3:08
  They
• 3:08
  felt
• 3:08
  God
• 3:09
  was
• 3:09
  enough.
• 3:09
  And
• 3:10
  also
• 3:10
  with
• 3:10
  the
• 3:10
  understanding
• 3:11
  that
• 3:11
  God
• 3:11
  gives
• 3:11
  me
• 3:12
  everything
• 3:12
  I
• 3:12
  could
• 3:12
  possibly
• 3:13
  ever
• 3:13
  need.
• 3:14
  I'm
• 3:14
  reminded
• 3:14
  of
• 3:14
  the
• 3:15
  psalmist
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  said,
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  was
• 3:16
  young
• 3:16
  and
• 3:16
  now
• 3:17
  I'm
• 3:17
  old,
• 3:17
  but
• 3:17
  I've
• 3:18
  never
• 3:18
  seen
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  righteous
• 3:19
  forsaken,
• 3:19
  nor
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  seed
• 3:20
  begging
• 3:20
  for
• 3:20
  bread.
• 3:21
  God
• 3:21
  has
• 3:22
  always
• 3:22
  provided
• 3:23
  and
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  same
• 3:24
  thing
• 3:24
  about
• 3:24
  keeping
• 3:25
  your
• 3:25
  words.
• 3:26
  I
• 3:26
  like
• 3:26
  how
• 3:26
  your
• 3:27
  version
• 3:27
  rendered
• 3:28
  that
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  have
• 3:29
  promised
• 3:29
  to
• 3:30
  keep
• 3:30
  your
• 3:30
  words.
• 3:31
  My
• 3:31
  version
• 3:31
  says,
• 3:31
  I
• 3:32
  have
• 3:32
  said
• 3:32
  that
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  will
• 3:32
  keep
• 3:33
  your
• 3:33
  words.
• 3:34
  In
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  New
• 3:34
  Testament,
• 3:35
  Jesus
• 3:35
  made
• 3:35
  it
• 3:35
  a
• 3:36
  point
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  make
• 3:36
  people
• 3:37
  aware
• 3:37
  of
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  fact
• 3:38
  that
• 3:38
  let
• 3:38
  your
• 3:38
  yes
• 3:39
  be
• 3:39
  yes,
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  you're
• 3:40
  no
• 3:40
  be
• 3:41
  no.
• 3:41
  If
• 3:41
  you're
• 3:41
  going
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  say
• 3:42
  that
• 3:42
  you're
• 3:42
  going
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  do
• 3:43
  something,
• 3:43
  you
• 3:43
  better
• 3:43
  do
• 3:44
  it
• 3:44
  and
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  better
• 3:45
  be
• 3:45
  consistent
• 3:46
  in
• 3:46
  doing
• 3:46
  that.
• 3:47
  Now,
• 3:47
  man's
• 3:47
  not
• 3:47
  perfect
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  we're
• 3:48
  going
• 3:49
  to
• 3:49
  sometimes
• 3:49
  mess
• 3:50
  up
• 3:50
  or
• 3:50
  things
• 3:50
  might
• 3:50
  happen
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  we
• 3:51
  won't
• 3:51
  be
• 3:51
  able
• 3:52
  to
• 3:52
  fulfill
• 3:52
  a
• 3:52
  promise.
• 3:53
  But
• 3:53
  with
• 3:53
  this,
• 3:54
  it's
• 3:54
  not
• 3:54
  something
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  should
• 3:55
  be
• 3:55
  able
• 3:55
  to
• 3:56
  take
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  place
• 3:56
  of
• 3:56
  that.
• 3:57
  This
• 3:58
  comes
• 3:58
  above
• 3:59
  anything
• 3:59
  else.
• 4:00
  And
• 4:00
  this
• 4:01
  isn't
• 4:01
  something
• 4:01
  that's
• 4:02
  only
• 4:02
  purposed
• 4:02
  in
• 4:03
  our
• 4:03
  hearts,
• 4:03
  but
• 4:04
  it's
• 4:04
  professed
• 4:05
  by
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  way
• 4:05
  that
• 4:05
  we
• 4:06
  live
• 4:06
  with
• 4:06
  others.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:07
  I've
• 4:07
  got
• 4:07
  written
• 4:08
  down
• 4:08
  in
• 4:08
  here
• 4:08
  Daniel
• 4:09
  and
• 4:09
  Daniel
• 4:10
  1
• 4:10
  in
• 4:10
  verse
• 4:10
  8
• 4:10
  where
• 4:10
  he
• 4:11
  purposed
• 4:11
  in
• 4:11
  his
• 4:11
  heart,
• 4:12
  but
• 4:12
  that
• 4:12
  wasn't
• 4:12
  enough.
• 4:13
  He
• 4:13
  then
• 4:14
  went
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  said
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  chief
• 4:15
  of
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  eunuchs,
• 4:16
  we
• 4:17
  can't
• 4:17
  do
• 4:17
  this.
• 4:18
  We
• 4:18
  need
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  have
• 4:19
  a
• 4:19
  provision
• 4:20
  to
• 4:20
  do
• 4:20
  what
• 4:20
  our
• 4:20
  Lord
• 4:21
  wants
• 4:21
  us
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  do.
• 4:22
  And
• 4:22
  then
• 4:22
  five
• 4:22
  chapters
• 4:23
  later,
• 4:23
  the
• 4:24
  same
• 4:24
  purpose
• 4:24
  is
• 4:25
  still
• 4:25
  there
• 4:25
  in
• 4:25
  Daniel
• 4:25
  6:10.
• 4:26
  And
• 4:27
  instead
• 4:27
  of
• 4:27
  going
• 4:27
  and
• 4:27
  loudly
• 4:28
  proclaiming
• 4:28
  some
• 4:29
  type
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  competition
• 4:30
  or
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  10
• 4:31
  day,
• 4:31
  you
• 4:31
  know,
• 4:32
  challenge,
• 4:32
  if
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  will,
• 4:33
  Daniel
• 4:34
  just
• 4:34
  simply
• 4:34
  says,
• 4:35
  I'll
• 4:35
  let
• 4:35
  my
• 4:35
  life
• 4:36
  show
• 4:36
  how
• 4:36
  I'm
• 4:37
  supposed
• 4:37
  to
• 4:37
  live.
• 4:38
  And
• 4:38
  then
• 4:38
  in
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  New
• 4:38
  Testament
• 4:39
  I've
• 4:39
  also
• 4:39
  got
• 4:39
  written
• 4:40
  down.
• 4:40
  The
• 4:40
  apostles
• 4:40
  did
• 4:41
  this.
• 4:41
  I
• 4:41
  think
• 4:41
  about
• 4:42
  Peter
• 4:42
  saying,
• 4:43
  you're
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  Christ,
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  Son
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  living
• 4:44
  God
• 4:45
  in
• 4:45
  Matthew
• 4:45
  16,
• 4:46
  13,
• 4:46
  18
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  will
• 4:47
  do
• 4:48
  what
• 4:48
  you
• 4:48
  say
• 4:48
  because
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  are
• 4:49
  the
• 4:50
  one
• 4:50
  that
• 4:51
  has
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  authority
• 4:51
  over
• 4:52
  me.
• 4:52
  John
• 4:53
  6:67,
• 4:54
  69
• 4:55
  where
• 4:55
  would
• 4:55
  we
• 4:56
  go?
• 4:56
  You
• 4:56
  have
• 4:56
  the
• 4:57
  words
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  eternal
• 4:57
  life
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  then
• 4:58
  Acts
• 4:59
  4:20.
• 4:59
  We,
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  know,
• 5:00
  we've
• 5:00
  got
• 5:01
  to
• 5:01
  be
• 5:01
  able
• 5:01
  to
• 5:01
  look
• 5:01
  at
• 5:02
  this
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  understand
• 5:02
  that
• 5:03
  we're
• 5:03
  going
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  speak
• 5:03
  and
• 5:04
  be
• 5:04
  able
• 5:04
  to
• 5:04
  say
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  things
• 5:05
  that
• 5:05
  we've
• 5:05
  seen
• 5:05
  and
• 5:06
  heard.
• 5:06
  That's
• 5:06
  what
• 5:06
  we're
• 5:06
  going
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  do.
• 5:07
  But
• 5:07
  the,
• 5:07
  the
• 5:08
  chief
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  all
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  this
• 5:09
  Is
• 5:09
  really
• 5:09
  Acts
• 5:09
  5:24,
• 5:11
  29
• 5:12
  when
• 5:12
  they're
• 5:13
  challenged
• 5:13
  with
• 5:14
  not
• 5:14
  doing
• 5:14
  what
• 5:15
  God
• 5:15
  would
• 5:15
  want
• 5:15
  them
• 5:15
  to
• 5:16
  do
• 5:16
  in
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  New
• 5:17
  Testament.
• 5:17
  And
• 5:17
  this
• 5:18
  is
• 5:18
  something
• 5:18
  that
• 5:19
  when
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  don't
• 5:19
  have
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  Lord
• 5:20
  as
• 5:20
  your
• 5:20
  portion,
• 5:21
  it's
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  struggle.
• 5:22
  When
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  have
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  Lord
• 5:24
  as
• 5:24
  your
• 5:24
  portion,
• 5:25
  you
• 5:25
  can
• 5:25
  make
• 5:25
  the
• 5:26
  claim
• 5:26
  of
• 5:27
  what
• 5:27
  Peter
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  other
• 5:27
  apostles
• 5:28
  said,
• 5:28
  which
• 5:28
  is
• 5:29
  we
• 5:29
  ought
• 5:29
  to
• 5:30
  obey
• 5:30
  God
• 5:30
  rather
• 5:30
  than
• 5:31
  men.
• 5:31
  I
• 5:31
  don't
• 5:31
  care
• 5:31
  what
• 5:31
  you
• 5:32
  can
• 5:32
  do
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  me.
• 5:33
  We're
• 5:33
  going
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  do
• 5:33
  whatever
• 5:34
  we
• 5:34
  need
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  do
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  be
• 5:35
  able
• 5:35
  to
• 5:36
  please
• 5:36
  God.
• 5:37
  And
• 5:37
  then
• 5:37
  verse
• 5:37
  58.
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  think
• 5:39
  about
• 5:39
  Philippians
• 5:39
  1:20,
• 5:40
  23.
• 5:41
  The
• 5:42
  urgency
• 5:42
  of
• 5:43
  it's
• 5:43
  important
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  please
• 5:44
  God
• 5:44
  with
• 5:44
  our
• 5:44
  whole
• 5:45
  life
• 5:45
  in
• 5:46
  this
• 5:46
  life,
• 5:47
  so
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  eternity
• 5:48
  can
• 5:48
  be
• 5:48
  far
• 5:48
  better
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  we
• 5:50
  have
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  understanding
• 5:51
  of
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  mercies
• 5:52
  of
• 5:52
  God.
• 5:53
  It's
• 5:53
  not
• 5:53
  something
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  is
• 5:54
  right
• 5:54
  for
• 5:55
  us
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  have
• 5:55
  this
• 5:56
  or
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  deserved
• 5:56
  action,
• 5:57
  but
• 5:58
  it's
• 5:58
  something
• 5:58
  that
• 5:58
  is
• 5:58
  an
• 5:59
  expected
• 5:59
  mercy
• 6:00
  according
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  the
• 6:01
  promises
• 6:01
  that
• 6:02
  we
• 6:02
  find
• 6:02
  from
• 6:02
  God's
• 6:03
  word.
• 6:03
  And
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  have
• 6:04
  this
• 6:04
  written.
• 6:05
  There's
• 6:05
  no
• 6:06
  natural
• 6:07
  right
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  mercy,
• 6:08
  but
• 6:09
  according
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  God's
• 6:09
  promise,
• 6:10
  there's
• 6:10
  a
• 6:10
  spiritual
• 6:11
  right
• 6:11
  for
• 6:12
  all
• 6:12
  who
• 6:12
  follow
• 6:13
  through
• 6:13
  his
• 6:13
  plan
• 6:13
  to
• 6:14
  receive
• 6:14
  it.
• 6:14
  And
• 6:15
  that's
• 6:15
  what
• 6:15
  this
• 6:15
  psalmist
• 6:16
  is
• 6:16
  asking
• 6:16
  for.
• 6:17
  Right?
• 6:17
  Great
• 6:17
  point,
• 6:17
  great
• 6:18
  point.
• 6:18
  I
• 6:19
  put
• 6:19
  up
• 6:19
  at
• 6:19
  the
• 6:20
  top
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  this
• 6:20
  seven
• 6:21
  of
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  synonyms
• 6:22
  used
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  statutes
• 6:24
  or
• 6:24
  for
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  statutes.
• 6:26
  So
• 6:26
  you
• 6:26
  go
• 6:26
  over
• 6:27
  to
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  first
• 6:28
  episode.
• 6:28
  We
• 6:28
  talk
• 6:29
  about
• 6:29
  eight
• 6:30
  ways,
• 6:31
  eight
• 6:31
  main
• 6:32
  ways,
• 6:32
  really.
• 6:32
  God's
• 6:33
  word
• 6:33
  is
• 6:33
  described.
• 6:34
  Seven
• 6:34
  of
• 6:34
  those
• 6:35
  eight
• 6:35
  are
• 6:35
  found
• 6:35
  in
• 6:36
  this
• 6:36
  portion.
• 6:36
  So
• 6:36
  the
• 6:37
  focus
• 6:38
  obviously
• 6:38
  is
• 6:39
  God's
• 6:39
  Word.
• 6:39
  I'm
• 6:39
  glad
• 6:40
  you
• 6:40
  brought
• 6:40
  up
• 6:40
  all
• 6:40
  those
• 6:41
  verses
• 6:41
  with
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  Lord
• 6:42
  is
• 6:42
  my
• 6:43
  portion.
• 6:43
  Four
• 6:44
  times
• 6:44
  that
• 6:44
  word
• 6:45
  is
• 6:45
  used
• 6:45
  in
• 6:46
  respect
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  the
• 6:46
  Lord
• 6:47
  through
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  Psalms,
• 6:47
  Psalm
• 6:48
  16,
• 6:48
  5,
• 6:49
  73,
• 6:49
  verse
• 6:49
  26
• 6:50
  here
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  verse
• 6:52
  57
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  then
• 6:53
  again
• 6:54
  in
• 6:54

  5
• 6:57
  now
• 6:57
  and
• 6:58
  and
• 6:58
  then
• 6:58
  you
• 6:58
  brought
• 6:58
  up
• 6:58
  the
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  priest
• 7:00
  and
• 7:01
  lamentations
• 7:02
  when
• 7:02
  he
• 7:02
  finds
• 7:02
  he
• 7:02
  reminds
• 7:03
  himself,
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  Lord
• 7:04
  is
• 7:04
  my
• 7:04
  portion.
• 7:05
  Excellent,
• 7:05
  excellent
• 7:06
  thoughts.
• 7:06
  I've
• 7:07
  underlined
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  Word
• 7:08
  I
• 7:08
  promise.
• 7:08
  And
• 7:09
  I'm
• 7:09
  glad
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  brought
• 7:09
  that
• 7:10
  up
• 7:11
  because
• 7:11
  I
• 7:11
  drew
• 7:11
  a
• 7:12
  line
• 7:12
  down
• 7:12
  to
• 7:12
  the
• 7:13
  end
• 7:13
  of
• 7:13
  verse
• 7:13
  58
• 7:14
  where
• 7:14
  it
• 7:14
  says,
• 7:14
  your
• 7:15
  promise.
• 7:15
  And
• 7:15
  I
• 7:16
  connected
• 7:16
  those
• 7:16
  two
• 7:17
  and
• 7:17
  I
• 7:17
  put
• 7:18
  this
• 7:19
  reciprocity
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  then
• 7:21
  I
• 7:21
  put
• 7:22
  Exodus
• 7:22
  chapter
• 7:23
  19,
• 7:23
  verses
• 7:24
  5
• 7:24
  and
• 7:24
  6.
• 7:25
  And
• 7:25
  then
• 7:26
  first
• 7:26
  Peter
• 7:26
  chapter
• 7:27
  2,
• 7:27
  verses
• 7:27
  9
• 7:27
  and
• 7:28
  10.
• 7:28
  And
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  reason
• 7:28
  I
• 7:29
  did
• 7:29
  so
• 7:29
  was
• 7:29
  for
• 7:29
  this
• 7:30
  reason,
• 7:32
  In
• 7:32
  Exodus
• 7:33
  chapter
• 7:33
  19,
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  verses
• 7:36
  5
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  6,
• 7:37
  he
• 7:37
  makes
• 7:37
  three
• 7:37
  covenantal
• 7:38
  statements
• 7:39
  towards
• 7:40
  Israel.
• 7:40
  He
• 7:41
  says,
• 7:41
  you
• 7:41
  will
• 7:41
  be
• 7:41
  my
• 7:42
  special
• 7:42
  people
• 7:42
  or
• 7:43
  my
• 7:43
  special
• 7:43
  treasure.
• 7:44
  You
• 7:45
  will
• 7:45
  be
• 7:45
  a
• 7:46
  royal
• 7:46
  priesthood.
• 7:47
  You
• 7:47
  will
• 7:47
  be
• 7:47
  a
• 7:47
  holy
• 7:48
  nation.
• 7:48
  Then
• 7:49
  we
• 7:49
  go
• 7:49
  over
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  First
• 7:50
  Peter
• 7:50
  chapter
• 7:50
  two
• 7:51
  and
• 7:51
  verse
• 7:51
  nine.
• 7:51
  And
• 7:51
  what's
• 7:52
  he
• 7:52
  say?
• 7:52
  You
• 7:52
  are
• 7:52
  a
• 7:53
  chosen
• 7:53
  generation.
• 7:54
  That
• 7:54
  idea.
• 7:55
  That's
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  special
• 7:56
  treasure.
• 7:56
  I
• 7:57
  you
• 7:58
  go
• 7:58
  over
• 7:58
  and
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  believe
• 7:59
  it's
• 7:59
  first
• 8:00
  Kings
• 8:00
  19,
• 8:01
  when
• 8:02
  Peter
• 8:02
  is.
• 8:02
  Or
• 8:03
  I'm
• 8:03
  sorry,
• 8:03
  David
• 8:03
  is
• 8:03
  talking
• 8:04
  about
• 8:04
  the
• 8:05
  setting
• 8:05
  aside
• 8:06
  of
• 8:06
  all
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  materials
• 8:07
  that
• 8:07
  he
• 8:07
  had
• 8:07
  gathered
• 8:08
  for
• 8:08
  the
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  temple.
• 8:09
  And
• 8:10
  then
• 8:11
  he
• 8:11
  goes
• 8:11
  on
• 8:11
  and
• 8:12
  he
• 8:12
  says,
• 8:12
  and
• 8:12
  on
• 8:12
  top
• 8:13
  of
• 8:13
  all
• 8:13
  that,
• 8:14
  I
• 8:14
  have
• 8:14
  taken
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  portion
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  my
• 8:16
  special
• 8:16
  treasure
• 8:17
  I've
• 8:17
  set
• 8:18
  aside
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  I've
• 8:19
  donated
• 8:19
  as
• 8:19
  well.
• 8:20
  And
• 8:20
  that's
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  thought
• 8:20
  in
• 8:22
  that
• 8:22
  phrase,
• 8:23
  chosen
• 8:23
  generation
• 8:24
  in
• 8:24
  First
• 8:24
  Peter
• 8:24
  chapter
• 8:25
  two
• 8:25
  or
• 8:26
  special
• 8:26
  treasure
• 8:26
  in
• 8:27
  Exodus
• 8:27
  chapter
• 8:27
  19
• 8:28
  is,
• 8:28
  you
• 8:29
  know,
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  talk
• 8:29
  about
• 8:30
  mankind
• 8:31
  is
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  crowning
• 8:33
  jewel
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  God's
• 8:35
  creation.
• 8:36
  And
• 8:36
  what
• 8:36
  God's
• 8:37
  saying,
• 8:37
  he's
• 8:37
  saying,
• 8:37
  I
• 8:38
  have
• 8:38
  taken
• 8:38
  you
• 8:38
  from
• 8:39
  that
• 8:39
  and
• 8:40
  set
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  aside
• 8:41
  as
• 8:41
  my
• 8:41
  own
• 8:41
  special
• 8:42
  treasure.
• 8:42
  Well,
• 8:43
  when
• 8:43
  we
• 8:43
  say
• 8:43
  the
• 8:44
  Lord
• 8:44
  is
• 8:44
  my
• 8:44
  portion,
• 8:45
  what
• 8:46
  am
• 8:46
  I
• 8:46
  doing?
• 8:46
  I'm
• 8:47
  doing
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  exact
• 8:48
  same
• 8:48
  thing.
• 8:48
  I
• 8:48
  am
• 8:48
  saying,
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  are
• 8:49
  my
• 8:50
  special
• 8:50
  treasure.
• 8:50
  Everything
• 8:51
  else
• 8:51
  that
• 8:51
  I
• 8:52
  have,
• 8:52
  you
• 8:53
  are
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  top
• 8:53
  priority.
• 8:54
  Everything
• 8:55
  else
• 8:55
  can
• 8:55
  be
• 8:55
  given
• 8:56
  up
• 8:56
  as
• 8:56
  long
• 8:56
  as
• 8:57
  you
• 8:57
  are
• 8:58
  with
• 8:58
  me.
• 8:58
  That's
• 8:58
  the
• 8:59
  idea
• 8:59
  where
• 8:59
  the
• 9:00
  thought
• 9:00
  behind
• 9:01
  him
• 9:01
  being
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  portion
• 9:02
  for
• 9:02
  the
• 9:03
  priest,
• 9:03
  they
• 9:03
  didn't
• 9:03
  get
• 9:04
  a
• 9:04
  land
• 9:05
  inheritance
• 9:06
  like
• 9:06
  the
• 9:06
  other
• 9:06
  tribes.
• 9:06
  Why?
• 9:07
  Because
• 9:07
  God
• 9:07
  would
• 9:08
  be
• 9:09
  their
• 9:09
  portion.
• 9:09
  He.
• 9:10
  They
• 9:10
  would
• 9:10
  rely
• 9:10
  on
• 9:10
  him.
• 9:11
  What
• 9:11
  else
• 9:11
  do
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  have?
• 9:12
  Well,
• 9:12
  I
• 9:12
  think
• 9:12
  about
• 9:12
  what
• 9:12
  you
• 9:13
  just
• 9:13
  said
• 9:13
  there.
• 9:14
  This
• 9:14
  is
• 9:14
  why
• 9:14
  we
• 9:15
  see
• 9:15
  in
• 9:15
  the
• 9:15
  New
• 9:15
  Testament
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  Apostle
• 9:17
  Paul
• 9:17
  being
• 9:18
  content
• 9:18
  in
• 9:19
  prison
• 9:20
  and
• 9:20
  knowing
• 9:20
  that
• 9:21
  despite
• 9:21
  what
• 9:21
  he's
• 9:21
  dealing
• 9:21
  with,
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  even
• 9:22
  when
• 9:22
  it's
• 9:23
  close
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  time
• 9:23
  to
• 9:24
  die,
• 9:24
  most
• 9:25
  people
• 9:26
  that
• 9:26
  are
• 9:26
  not
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  way
• 9:27
  that
• 9:28
  this
• 9:28
  psalm
• 9:28
  is
• 9:28
  writing
• 9:29
  for
• 9:29
  us
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  be
• 9:30
  would
• 9:30
  be
• 9:30
  complaining.
• 9:31
  This
• 9:31
  isn't
• 9:32
  fair.
• 9:32
  Why
• 9:32
  should
• 9:32
  this
• 9:33
  happen
• 9:33
  to
• 9:33
  me?
• 9:34
  But
• 9:34
  Paul
• 9:34
  from
• 9:34
  Philippians
• 9:35
  all
• 9:36
  the
• 9:36
  way
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  2
• 9:37
  Timothy
• 9:37
  4,
• 9:38
  6,
• 9:38
  8
• 9:39
  basically
• 9:39
  says,
• 9:39
  kill
• 9:40
  me.
• 9:40
  I'm
• 9:41
  ready.
• 9:41
  I'll
• 9:41
  do
• 9:42
  it.
• 9:42
  If
• 9:42
  it's
• 9:42
  time
• 9:43
  to
• 9:43
  go,
• 9:43
  it's
• 9:43
  time
• 9:43
  to
• 9:44
  go,
• 9:44
  because
• 9:44
  I'll
• 9:44
  go
• 9:45
  be
• 9:45
  with
• 9:45
  God.
• 9:46
  That's
• 9:46
  all
• 9:46
  I've
• 9:47
  wanted
• 9:47
  since
• 9:47
  that
• 9:48
  road
• 9:48
  to
• 9:48
  Damascus.
• 9:49
  That's
• 9:49
  all
• 9:49
  I've
• 9:49
  craved.
• 9:50
  That's
• 9:50
  all
• 9:50
  I've
• 9:51
  longed
• 9:51
  for
• 9:51
  since
• 9:52
  I
• 9:52
  became
• 9:52
  a
• 9:52
  New
• 9:53
  Testament
• 9:53
  Christian.
• 9:53
  Because
• 9:54
  even
• 9:54
  before
• 9:54
  he
• 9:54
  was
• 9:55
  a
• 9:55
  Christian,
• 9:55
  in
• 9:56
  Acts
• 9:56
  9,
• 9:56
  he
• 9:57
  was
• 9:57
  praying,
• 9:57
  he
• 9:58
  wanted
• 9:58
  forgiveness,
• 9:59
  he
• 9:59
  wanted
• 10:00
  to
• 10:00
  be
• 10:00
  spared.
• 10:01
  And.
• 10:01
  And
• 10:01
  then
• 10:01
  when
• 10:01
  he
• 10:01
  was
• 10:02
  told
• 10:02
  what
• 10:02
  he
• 10:02
  needed
• 10:02
  to
• 10:03
  do
• 10:03
  how
• 10:03
  to
• 10:03
  make
• 10:03
  God
• 10:03
  his
• 10:04
  portion,
• 10:04
  he
• 10:04
  says,
• 10:04
  yeah,
• 10:05
  let's
• 10:05
  do
• 10:05
  this.
• 10:05
  And
• 10:06
  that's
• 10:06
  exactly
• 10:06
  what
• 10:06
  we
• 10:07
  need
• 10:07
  to
• 10:07
  be
• 10:07
  thinking
• 10:07
  about
• 10:08
  our
• 10:08
  mentalities
• 10:08
  today.
• 10:09
  Great
• 10:09
  point.
• 10:10
  Moving
• 10:10
  on.
• 10:11
  Verse
• 10:11
  59.
• 10:12
  It
• 10:12
  says,
• 10:13
  When
• 10:13
  I
• 10:13
  think
• 10:14
  on
• 10:14
  my
• 10:14
  ways,
• 10:15
  I
• 10:15
  turn
• 10:15
  my
• 10:15
  feet
• 10:16
  to
• 10:16
  your
• 10:16
  testimonies.
• 10:17
  I
• 10:18
  hasten
• 10:18
  and
• 10:18
  do
• 10:19
  not
• 10:19
  delay
• 10:19
  to
• 10:19
  keep
• 10:20
  your
• 10:20
  commandments.
• 10:21
  Though
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  cords
• 10:21
  of
• 10:22
  the
• 10:22
  wicked
• 10:22
  ensnare
• 10:23
  me,
• 10:23
  I
• 10:24
  do
• 10:24
  not
• 10:24
  forget
• 10:24
  your
• 10:24
  law.
• 10:25
  What
• 10:25
  do
• 10:25
  you
• 10:25
  have
• 10:25
  there,
• 10:25
  bro?
• 10:26
  I
• 10:26
  thought
• 10:26
  about
• 10:26
  my
• 10:27
  ways
• 10:27
  is
• 10:27
  the
• 10:27
  way
• 10:28
  that
• 10:28
  my
• 10:28
  version
• 10:28
  says
• 10:29
  it.
• 10:29
  Time
• 10:30
  spent
• 10:30
  reflecting
• 10:31
  in
• 10:31
  God's
• 10:31
  word
• 10:32
  causes
• 10:32
  us
• 10:32
  to
• 10:32
  contemplate
• 10:33
  played
• 10:33
  our
• 10:33
  decisions.
• 10:34
  And
• 10:34
  you
• 10:35
  see
• 10:35
  that
• 10:35
  in
• 10:35
  the
• 10:35
  Old
• 10:35
  Testament
• 10:36
  in
• 10:36
  a
• 10:36
  few
• 10:36
  different
• 10:36
  ways,
• 10:37
  the
• 10:37
  prophets
• 10:37
  would
• 10:38
  often
• 10:38
  come
• 10:38
  with
• 10:38
  the
• 10:38
  word
• 10:39
  of
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  Lord.
• 10:40
  Eli
• 10:40
  had
• 10:40
  been
• 10:40
  warned
• 10:41
  in
• 10:41
  2nd
• 10:41
  Samuel
• 10:42
  2,
• 10:42
  1st
• 10:43
  Samuel
• 10:43
  2,
• 10:43
  what
• 10:44
  he
• 10:44
  shouldn't
• 10:44
  have
• 10:44
  allowed
• 10:45
  to
• 10:45
  happen
• 10:45
  with
• 10:45
  his
• 10:45
  sons.
• 10:46
  He
• 10:46
  just
• 10:47
  didn't
• 10:47
  change
• 10:47
  anything
• 10:48
  about
• 10:48
  that.
• 10:49
  Chapter
• 10:49
  three
• 10:49
  Samuel
• 10:50
  shows
• 10:50
  back
• 10:50
  up
• 10:50
  and
• 10:51
  says,
• 10:51
  what
• 10:52
  God
• 10:52
  has
• 10:52
  said
• 10:52
  is
• 10:52
  going
• 10:52
  to
• 10:53
  come
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  pass
• 10:53
  is
• 10:53
  happening.
• 10:54
  You're
• 10:54
  going
• 10:54
  to
• 10:54
  be
• 10:54
  punished
• 10:55
  forever.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:56
  that
• 10:56
  caused
• 10:56
  Eli
• 10:57
  to
• 10:57
  say,
• 10:57
  what's
• 10:57
  the
• 10:57
  Lord?
• 10:58
  Let
• 10:58
  him
• 10:58
  do
• 10:58
  what's
• 10:59
  good
• 10:59
  to
• 10:59
  him.
• 11:00
  But
• 11:00
  then
• 11:00
  you
• 11:00
  think
• 11:00
  about
• 11:00
  David
• 11:01
  when
• 11:01
  he
• 11:01
  was
• 11:02
  struggling
• 11:02
  with
• 11:02
  the
• 11:02
  sin
• 11:03
  of
• 11:03
  Bathsheba
• 11:04
  and
• 11:04
  his
• 11:04
  heart
• 11:04
  became
• 11:05
  so
• 11:05
  callous
• 11:05
  that
• 11:05
  he
• 11:05
  didn't
• 11:06
  even
• 11:06
  realize
• 11:07
  that
• 11:07
  Nathan
• 11:07
  was
• 11:07
  talking
• 11:08
  about
• 11:08
  him.
• 11:09
  And
• 11:09
  when
• 11:09
  God's
• 11:10
  word
• 11:10
  was
• 11:10
  revealed
• 11:11
  and
• 11:11
  David
• 11:11
  had
• 11:11
  contemplated
• 11:12
  it
• 11:12
  and
• 11:12
  he
• 11:12
  says,
• 11:13
  you're
• 11:13
  the
• 11:13
  man,
• 11:14
  David
• 11:14
  thinks
• 11:14
  back
• 11:15
  on
• 11:15
  all
• 11:15
  that
• 11:15
  has
• 11:15
  just
• 11:16
  been
• 11:16
  said
• 11:17
  and
• 11:17
  it
• 11:17
  pricks
• 11:17
  his
• 11:18
  heart
• 11:18
  and
• 11:18
  he
• 11:18
  realizes
• 11:19
  what
• 11:19
  he's
• 11:19
  been
• 11:20
  doing.
• 11:20
  In
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  New
• 11:21
  Testament,
• 11:21
  we
• 11:21
  see
• 11:21
  this
• 11:22
  in
• 11:22
  an
• 11:22
  interesting
• 11:22
  way
• 11:23
  in
• 11:23
  Mark
• 11:23
  14:72,
• 11:25
  where
• 11:25
  the
• 11:25
  second
• 11:25
  time
• 11:26
  that
• 11:26
  that
• 11:26
  rooster
• 11:26
  crows,
• 11:27
  Peter
• 11:28
  called
• 11:29
  to
• 11:29
  mind
• 11:29
  the
• 11:30
  word
• 11:30
  that
• 11:30
  Jesus
• 11:31
  had
• 11:31
  said
• 11:31
  to
• 11:32
  him
• 11:32
  before.
• 11:32
  The
• 11:33
  rooster
• 11:33
  crows
• 11:33
  twice,
• 11:34
  you'll
• 11:34
  deny
• 11:34
  me
• 11:34
  three
• 11:34
  times.
• 11:35
  And
• 11:35
  he
• 11:35
  went
• 11:35
  through.
• 11:36
  When
• 11:36
  he
• 11:36
  thought
• 11:36
  about
• 11:37
  it,
• 11:37
  he
• 11:37
  went
• 11:37
  out
• 11:37
  and
• 11:37
  wept
• 11:38
  bitterly.
• 11:39
  The
• 11:39
  prodigal
• 11:40
  experience.
• 11:40
  This
• 11:40
  very
• 11:41
  mindset
• 11:41
  too,
• 11:41
  though
• 11:41
  that
• 11:42
  it's
• 11:42
  not
• 11:42
  the
• 11:42
  exact
• 11:42
  same
• 11:43
  mentality
• 11:43
  of
• 11:44
  Peter
• 11:44
  when
• 11:45
  he
• 11:45
  came
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  himself.
• 11:46
  And
• 11:46
  no
• 11:46
  doubt
• 11:47
  his
• 11:48
  coming
• 11:48
  to
• 11:48
  realization
• 11:49
  of
• 11:49
  what
• 11:49
  he's
• 11:49
  doing
• 11:50
  has
• 11:50
  to
• 11:50
  have
• 11:50
  been
• 11:51
  thinking
• 11:51
  about
• 11:51
  all
• 11:51
  that
• 11:52
  he
• 11:52
  had
• 11:52
  been
• 11:52
  doing
• 11:52
  versus
• 11:53
  what
• 11:53
  he
• 11:53
  should
• 11:53
  have
• 11:53
  been
• 11:54
  doing.
• 11:54
  He
• 11:55
  says,
• 11:55
  my
• 11:55
  father's
• 11:56
  servants
• 11:56
  have
• 11:56
  food
• 11:57
  and
• 11:57
  despair.
• 11:58
  What
• 11:58
  am
• 11:58
  I
• 11:58
  doing,
• 11:59
  let
• 11:59
  me
• 11:59
  go
• 11:59
  back
• 11:59
  and
• 11:59
  just
• 12:00
  be
• 12:00
  a
• 12:00
  servant
• 12:00
  in
• 12:00
  my
• 12:00
  father's
• 12:01
  house,
• 12:01
  and
• 12:01
  that
• 12:01
  will
• 12:01
  be
• 12:02
  enough.
• 12:02
  And
• 12:03
  when
• 12:03
  we
• 12:03
  look
• 12:03
  at
• 12:03
  Scripture,
• 12:04
  it
• 12:05
  has
• 12:05
  the
• 12:05
  ability
• 12:06
  to
• 12:06
  both
• 12:06
  endorse
• 12:07
  our
• 12:07
  behavior
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  condemn
• 12:09
  it.
• 12:09
  That's
• 12:10
  why
• 12:10
  I
• 12:10
  love
• 12:11
  passages
• 12:11
  that
• 12:11
  are
• 12:11
  what
• 12:12
  I'd
• 12:12
  call
• 12:12
  evergreen
• 12:13
  passages
• 12:13
  in
• 12:13
  preaching.
• 12:14
  2
• 12:14
  Timothy
• 12:15
  3,
• 12:15
  16
• 12:15
  and
• 12:16
  17
• 12:16
  works
• 12:17
  in
• 12:17
  so
• 12:17
  many
• 12:17
  areas
• 12:18
  because
• 12:18
  all
• 12:19
  Scripture
• 12:19
  is
• 12:19
  given
• 12:19
  by
• 12:20
  the
• 12:20
  inspiration
• 12:20
  of
• 12:21
  God
• 12:21
  and
• 12:21
  is
• 12:21
  profitable
• 12:22
  for
• 12:23
  every
• 12:23
  single
• 12:23
  part
• 12:24
  of
• 12:24
  life.
• 12:24
  That
• 12:25
  also
• 12:25
  has
• 12:25
  to
• 12:26
  include
• 12:26
  correction
• 12:27
  as
• 12:27
  much
• 12:28
  as
• 12:28
  it
• 12:28
  does
• 12:29
  instruction
• 12:29
  and
• 12:30
  continuation.
• 12:31
  But
• 12:31
  then
• 12:31
  you
• 12:31
  look
• 12:31
  at
• 12:32
  chapter
• 12:32
  four
• 12:32
  of
• 12:32
  the
• 12:33
  same
• 12:33
  book,
• 12:33
  and
• 12:34
  that's
• 12:34
  the
• 12:34
  verse
• 12:34
  that
• 12:34
  we
• 12:35
  know
• 12:35
  very
• 12:35
  well,
• 12:35
  verse
• 12:36
  two
• 12:36
  from
• 12:36
  our
• 12:36
  time
• 12:36
  at
• 12:36
  msop.
• 12:37
  But
• 12:38
  the
• 12:38
  idea
• 12:38
  of
• 12:38
  preaching
• 12:39
  comes
• 12:40
  with
• 12:40
  convincing,
• 12:41
  rebuking
• 12:41
  and
• 12:41
  exhorting.
• 12:42
  Those
• 12:43
  cover
• 12:43
  all
• 12:44
  areas
• 12:44
  of
• 12:44
  life,
• 12:45
  whether
• 12:45
  it's
• 12:45
  negative
• 12:46
  or
• 12:46
  positive.
• 12:47
  And
• 12:47
  that's
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  thing
• 12:48
  that
• 12:48
  too
• 12:48
  often
• 12:49
  I
• 12:49
  heard
• 12:49
  Brother
• 12:50
  Liddell
• 12:50
  say
• 12:50
  this
• 12:50
  once
• 12:51
  in
• 12:51
  a
• 12:51
  lectureship.
• 12:52
  Too
• 12:52
  often
• 12:52
  we
• 12:52
  go
• 12:53
  to
• 12:53
  study
• 12:53
  something
• 12:53
  and
• 12:54
  we've
• 12:54
  already
• 12:54
  got
• 12:54
  our
• 12:54
  minds
• 12:55
  made
• 12:55
  up
• 12:55
  about
• 12:55
  what
• 12:55
  the
• 12:55
  text
• 12:56
  is
• 12:56
  going
• 12:56
  to
• 12:56
  say,
• 12:57
  that
• 12:57
  we
• 12:57
  don't
• 12:58
  actually
• 12:58
  allow
• 12:58
  the
• 12:59
  text
• 12:59
  to
• 12:59
  prick
• 12:59
  and
• 13:00
  convince,
• 13:00
  convict
• 13:01
  and
• 13:01
  convince.
• 13:02
  This
• 13:03
  is
• 13:03
  not
• 13:03
  the
• 13:03
  mentality
• 13:04
  here.
• 13:05
  I
• 13:05
  thought
• 13:05
  about
• 13:06
  my
• 13:06
  ways,
• 13:07
  not
• 13:07
  I
• 13:07
  thought,
• 13:08
  and
• 13:08
  I
• 13:08
  moved
• 13:08
  on.
• 13:09
  Because
• 13:09
  he
• 13:09
  says
• 13:10
  at
• 13:10
  the
• 13:10
  very
• 13:10
  next
• 13:10
  part
• 13:10
  here,
• 13:11
  I
• 13:11
  turned
• 13:11
  my
• 13:12
  feet
• 13:12
  to
• 13:12
  your
• 13:12
  testimonies,
• 13:13
  which
• 13:14
  indicates
• 13:14
  a
• 13:14
  realization
• 13:15
  of
• 13:16
  I
• 13:16
  was
• 13:16
  not
• 13:17
  living
• 13:18
  the
• 13:18
  way
• 13:18
  that
• 13:19
  I
• 13:19
  should
• 13:19
  be
• 13:19
  living
• 13:20
  until
• 13:20
  I
• 13:20
  made
• 13:20
  sure
• 13:21
  to
• 13:21
  live
• 13:21
  under
• 13:22
  your
• 13:22
  testimonies.
• 13:23
  And
• 13:24
  there's
• 13:24
  a
• 13:24
  French
• 13:25
  philosopher,
• 13:25
  Blaise
• 13:26
  Pascal,
• 13:27
  that
• 13:27
  called
• 13:27
  this
• 13:28
  verse
• 13:28
  a
• 13:28
  turning
• 13:29
  point
• 13:29
  of
• 13:29
  a
• 13:29
  man's
• 13:30
  character
• 13:30
  and
• 13:30
  destiny.
• 13:31
  And
• 13:31
  the
• 13:31
  idea
• 13:32
  behind
• 13:32
  that
• 13:32
  is
• 13:32
  it's
• 13:33
  vital
• 13:33
  for
• 13:34
  every
• 13:34
  person
• 13:34
  to
• 13:34
  consider
• 13:35
  their
• 13:35
  ways.
• 13:35
  And
• 13:36
  when
• 13:36
  we
• 13:36
  find
• 13:36
  them
• 13:36
  to
• 13:36
  be
• 13:37
  destructive,
• 13:37
  you
• 13:38
  make
• 13:38
  an
• 13:38
  about
• 13:38
  face
• 13:39
  and
• 13:39
  determine
• 13:40
  to
• 13:40
  go
• 13:40
  in
• 13:40
  God's
• 13:40
  way
• 13:41
  instead.
• 13:41
  And
• 13:42
  you
• 13:42
  see
• 13:42
  that
• 13:42
  again
• 13:42
  with
• 13:43
  the
• 13:43
  apostle
• 13:43
  Paul,
• 13:44
  a
• 13:44
  man
• 13:44
  who
• 13:45
  was
• 13:45
  persecuting
• 13:45
  the
• 13:46
  church
• 13:46
  and
• 13:46
  then
• 13:46
  would
• 13:46
  write
• 13:47
  to
• 13:47
  the
• 13:47
  church
• 13:47
  at
• 13:47
  Corinth,
• 13:48
  imitate
• 13:48
  me
• 13:49
  as
• 13:49
  I
• 13:49
  imitate
• 13:50
  Christ.
• 13:50
  And
• 13:51
  that's
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  idea
• 13:52
  there.
• 13:52
  And
• 13:52
  then,
• 13:53
  let's
• 13:53
  see,
• 13:54
  verse
• 13:54
  60.
• 13:55
  I
• 13:55
  don't
• 13:55
  have
• 13:55
  a
• 13:56
  whole
• 13:56
  lot
• 13:56
  on
• 13:56
  that.
• 13:56
  So
• 13:56
  let
• 13:57
  me
• 13:57
  just
• 13:57
  quickly
• 13:57
  say
• 13:57
  this
• 13:58
  here.
• 13:58
  The
• 13:58
  idea
• 13:59
  of
• 13:59
  not
• 13:59
  delaying
• 14:00
  is
• 14:00
  something
• 14:01
  that
• 14:01
  I
• 14:01
  thought
• 14:01
  was
• 14:01
  interesting.
• 14:02
  The
• 14:03
  Hebrew
• 14:03
  word
• 14:03
  strongly
• 14:04
  marks
• 14:04
  this
• 14:05
  indecision
• 14:05
  of
• 14:06
  mind
• 14:06
  as
• 14:07
  a
• 14:07
  positive
• 14:07
  action
• 14:07
  being
• 14:08
  suspended
• 14:08
  because
• 14:09
  the
• 14:09
  mind
• 14:09
  is
• 14:09
  so
• 14:09
  unfixed
• 14:10
  as
• 14:11
  not
• 14:11
  able
• 14:11
  to
• 14:11
  be,
• 14:12
  you
• 14:12
  know,
• 14:13
  able
• 14:13
  to
• 14:13
  make
• 14:13
  a
• 14:13
  choice.
• 14:13
  That's
• 14:14
  what
• 14:14
  Adam
• 14:14
  Clark
• 14:15
  wrote.
• 14:15
  And
• 14:15
  I
• 14:16
  thought
• 14:16
  about
• 14:16
  lot
• 14:16
  when
• 14:17
  he
• 14:17
  delayed
• 14:18
  and
• 14:18
  determined
• 14:19
  to
• 14:20
  not
• 14:20
  keep
• 14:21
  the
• 14:21
  commandments
• 14:21
  in
• 14:21
  the
• 14:22
  same
• 14:22
  way
• 14:22
  by
• 14:22
  where
• 14:22
  he
• 14:22
  chose
• 14:23
  to,
• 14:23
  you
• 14:23
  know,
• 14:24
  put
• 14:24
  his
• 14:24
  family.
• 14:25
  And
• 14:25
  by
• 14:25
  that
• 14:26
  Reluctance
• 14:26
  to
• 14:26
  leave
• 14:27
  the
• 14:27
  place
• 14:27
  that
• 14:27
  he
• 14:27
  knew
• 14:28
  he
• 14:28
  probably
• 14:28
  should
• 14:28
  have
• 14:28
  left.
• 14:29
  What
• 14:30
  ends
• 14:30
  up
• 14:30
  happening
• 14:30
  to
• 14:31
  his
• 14:31
  family
• 14:31
  not
• 14:32
  long
• 14:32
  after
• 14:32
  that
• 14:33
  is
• 14:33
  the
• 14:33
  type
• 14:34
  of
• 14:34
  destruction
• 14:34
  that
• 14:34
  this
• 14:35
  psalmist
• 14:35
  is
• 14:35
  saying,
• 14:36
  if
• 14:36
  you
• 14:36
  and
• 14:36
  I
• 14:37
  will
• 14:37
  make
• 14:37
  haste
• 14:37
  and
• 14:37
  not
• 14:38
  delay
• 14:38
  in
• 14:38
  keeping
• 14:38
  the
• 14:39
  commandments
• 14:39
  of
• 14:39
  God,
• 14:40
  we
• 14:40
  will
• 14:40
  find
• 14:41
  ourselves
• 14:41
  preserved
• 14:42
  by
• 14:42
  God.
• 14:42
  That's
• 14:43
  exactly
• 14:44
  what
• 14:44
  he
• 14:44
  says
• 14:45
  at
• 14:45
  the
• 14:45
  very
• 14:45
  beginning
• 14:45
  here.
• 14:46
  You're
• 14:46
  my
• 14:46
  portion,
• 14:47
  and
• 14:47
  so
• 14:47
  I
• 14:47
  won't
• 14:48
  delay
• 14:48
  to
• 14:48
  do
• 14:48
  what
• 14:49
  you
• 14:49
  want
• 14:49
  me
• 14:49
  to
• 14:49
  do.
• 14:50
  Excellent
• 14:51
  point.
• 14:51
  I'm
• 14:51
  glad
• 14:52
  you
• 14:52
  brought
• 14:52
  up
• 14:52
  the
• 14:53
  verse
• 14:53
  59.
• 14:54
  I've
• 14:54
  circled
• 14:54
  my
• 14:55
  ways
• 14:55
  and
• 14:56
  your
• 14:56
  testimonies
• 14:57
  and
• 14:57
  connected
• 14:58
  them.
• 14:58
  And
• 14:58
  there's
• 14:58
  a
• 14:59
  humility
• 14:59
  there
• 14:59
  in
• 14:59
  the
• 15:00
  sense.
• 15:01
  In
• 15:01
  fact,
• 15:01
  I
• 15:01
  was
• 15:02
  reading
• 15:02
  a
• 15:02
  book
• 15:02
  the
• 15:02
  other
• 15:02
  day
• 15:03
  and
• 15:03
  the
• 15:04
  author
• 15:04
  described,
• 15:06
  essentially,
• 15:06
  it's
• 15:07
  very
• 15:07
  simple
• 15:08
  description
• 15:08
  of
• 15:09
  repentance.
• 15:10
  And
• 15:10
  repentance
• 15:11
  is
• 15:11
  just
• 15:11
  acknowledging
• 15:12
  that
• 15:12
  you're
• 15:12
  heading
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  wrong
• 15:13
  way
• 15:13
  and
• 15:14
  then
• 15:14
  putting
• 15:14
  yourself
• 15:15
  on
• 15:15
  the
• 15:15
  correct
• 15:16
  path.
• 15:16
  You
• 15:16
  and
• 15:16
  I
• 15:16
  do
• 15:16
  that
• 15:17
  all
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  time.
• 15:17
  When
• 15:18
  you
• 15:18
  take
• 15:18
  a
• 15:18
  wrong
• 15:18
  turn
• 15:19
  driving,
• 15:20
  you
• 15:20
  realize
• 15:20
  you're
• 15:20
  going
• 15:20
  the
• 15:21
  wrong
• 15:21
  way.
• 15:21
  And
• 15:21
  so
• 15:21
  what
• 15:21
  do
• 15:22
  you
• 15:22
  do?
• 15:22
  You
• 15:22
  turn
• 15:22
  around,
• 15:23
  hit
• 15:23
  a
• 15:23
  U
• 15:23
  turn,
• 15:23
  you
• 15:24
  know,
• 15:24
  whatever,
• 15:25
  and
• 15:25
  you
• 15:25
  put
• 15:25
  yourself
• 15:26
  back
• 15:26
  on
• 15:26
  the
• 15:26
  right
• 15:26
  path.
• 15:27
  That's
• 15:27
  repentance,
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  that's
• 15:28
  the
• 15:29
  thought
• 15:29
  that's
• 15:29
  being
• 15:29
  conveyed
• 15:30
  here.
• 15:30
  When
• 15:30
  I
• 15:31
  think
• 15:31
  on
• 15:31
  my
• 15:31
  ways,
• 15:31
  I
• 15:32
  realize
• 15:32
  I'm
• 15:32
  heading
• 15:32
  the
• 15:32
  wrong
• 15:33
  way.
• 15:33
  So
• 15:33
  what
• 15:33
  I
• 15:33
  do,
• 15:33
  I
• 15:33
  turn
• 15:34
  to
• 15:34
  you,
• 15:34
  your
• 15:34
  testimonies,
• 15:35
  your
• 15:35
  map,
• 15:36
  and
• 15:36
  I
• 15:36
  use
• 15:36
  that
• 15:37
  to
• 15:37
  guide
• 15:37
  me.
• 15:38
  So,
• 15:38
  excellent,
• 15:38
  excellent
• 15:39
  point.
• 15:39
  There
• 15:41
  down
• 15:41
  at
• 15:41
  the
• 15:42
  verse
• 15:42
  61,
• 15:43
  it
• 15:43
  says,
• 15:43
  though
• 15:43
  the
• 15:43
  cords
• 15:44
  of
• 15:44
  the
• 15:44
  wicked
• 15:45
  ensnare
• 15:45
  me,
• 15:45
  I
• 15:46
  do
• 15:46
  not
• 15:46
  forget
• 15:47
  your
• 15:47
  law.
• 15:48
  And
• 15:48
  I
• 15:48
  just
• 15:49
  underlined
• 15:50
  that
• 15:50
  phrase.
• 15:50
  I
• 15:50
  do
• 15:51
  though,
• 15:51
  and
• 15:51
  I
• 15:51
  do
• 15:52
  not
• 15:52
  forget
• 15:52
  your
• 15:52
  law.
• 15:53
  And
• 15:53
  I
• 15:53
  put
• 15:53
  Paul
• 15:54
  and
• 15:55
  I
• 15:55
  just
• 15:55
  simply
• 15:56
  put,
• 15:56
  prison
• 15:56
  could
• 15:57
  not
• 15:57
  bind
• 15:58
  God's
• 15:58
  word.
• 15:58
  When
• 15:59
  you
• 15:59
  look
• 15:59
  at
• 15:59
  it,
• 16:00
  you
• 16:01
  know,
• 16:01
  Paul
• 16:01
  wrote
• 16:02
  13,
• 16:03
  maybe
• 16:03
  14,
• 16:04
  if
• 16:04
  he
• 16:04
  wrote
• 16:04
  Hebrews
• 16:06
  of
• 16:06
  the
• 16:07
  epistles
• 16:07
  in
• 16:08
  the
• 16:08
  New
• 16:08
  Testament,
• 16:09
  if
• 16:09
  you
• 16:10
  take
• 16:10
  the
• 16:11
  agreed
• 16:12
  upon
• 16:13
  locales
• 16:14
  and
• 16:14
  dates
• 16:15
  of
• 16:16
  those
• 16:16
  epistles,
• 16:17
  over
• 16:17
  half
• 16:18
  of
• 16:18
  them
• 16:18
  were
• 16:18
  written
• 16:18
  from
• 16:18
  a
• 16:19
  prison
• 16:19
  cell.
• 16:20
  And
• 16:20
  I
• 16:20
  think
• 16:20
  there's
• 16:21
  a
• 16:21
  sense
• 16:21
  there
• 16:21
  where
• 16:22
  the
• 16:23
  psalmist
• 16:23
  is
• 16:24
  making
• 16:24
  this
• 16:24
  very
• 16:24
  point.
• 16:25
  Though
• 16:25
  my
• 16:25
  physical
• 16:26
  man
• 16:26
  is
• 16:27
  bound
• 16:27
  and
• 16:27
  I
• 16:28
  am
• 16:28
  not
• 16:28
  free
• 16:28
  to
• 16:28
  do
• 16:29
  what
• 16:29
  I
• 16:29
  want,
• 16:30
  I
• 16:31
  don't
• 16:31
  forget
• 16:31
  your
• 16:31
  law.
• 16:32
  Your
• 16:32
  word
• 16:32
  is
• 16:32
  not
• 16:33
  bound.
• 16:33
  They
• 16:33
  can't
• 16:33
  keep
• 16:34
  it
• 16:34
  from
• 16:34
  coming
• 16:34
  to
• 16:35
  me.
• 16:35
  And
• 16:35
  in
• 16:35
  Paul's
• 16:36
  case,
• 16:36
  they
• 16:36
  could
• 16:36
  not
• 16:37
  keep
• 16:37
  it
• 16:37
  from
• 16:37
  going
• 16:37
  out.
• 16:38
  In
• 16:38
  fact,
• 16:39
  I
• 16:39
  love
• 16:39
  the
• 16:39
  last
• 16:40
  two
• 16:40
  verses
• 16:40
  of
• 16:41
  Acts,
• 16:41
  Acts
• 16:41
  28,
• 16:42
  30,
• 16:42
  and
• 16:42
  31,
• 16:43
  because
• 16:43
  there's
• 16:44
  an
• 16:44
  implication
• 16:44
  that
• 16:45
  he
• 16:45
  welcomed
• 16:46
  all
• 16:46
  that
• 16:46
  came.
• 16:46
  He's
• 16:46
  under
• 16:47
  house
• 16:47
  arrest,
• 16:47
  so
• 16:48
  he
• 16:48
  can't
• 16:48
  leave,
• 16:49
  but
• 16:49
  it
• 16:50
  says
• 16:50
  that
• 16:50
  he
• 16:50
  welcomed
• 16:51
  all
• 16:51
  who
• 16:51
  came
• 16:51
  to
• 16:52
  him
• 16:53
  and
• 16:53
  he
• 16:53
  said
• 16:53
  it,
• 16:54
  taught
• 16:54
  them,
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  he
• 16:54
  preached
• 16:55
  unto
• 16:55
  them
• 16:55
  Jesus
• 16:56
  and
• 16:56
  the
• 16:56
  kingdom.
• 16:57
  And
• 16:58
  it
• 16:58
  says
• 16:58
  at
• 16:58
  the
• 16:58
  end
• 16:59
  of
• 16:59
  that
• 16:59
  that
• 16:59
  he
• 17:00
  did
• 17:00
  so
• 17:00
  without
• 17:00
  any
• 17:01
  type
• 17:01
  of
• 17:01
  inhibition
• 17:02
  or
• 17:02
  restriction.
• 17:03
  And
• 17:04
  I
• 17:04
  think
• 17:04
  there's
• 17:04
  an
• 17:04
  implication.
• 17:05
  I
• 17:05
  think
• 17:05
  It's
• 17:06
  Philippians,
• 17:06
  chapter
• 17:07
  one.
• 17:07
  I
• 17:07
  want
• 17:07
  to
• 17:07
  say
• 17:07
  12
• 17:08
  or
• 17:08
  13.
• 17:08
  When
• 17:09
  he
• 17:09
  makes
• 17:09
  the
• 17:09
  point
• 17:10
  that
• 17:10
  the
• 17:10
  gospel
• 17:11
  is
• 17:11
  spread
• 17:11
  to
• 17:12
  the
• 17:12
  whole
• 17:13
  praetorium,
• 17:14
  the
• 17:14
  empirical
• 17:15
  guard.
• 17:15
  And
• 17:16
  when
• 17:16
  you
• 17:16
  look
• 17:16
  at
• 17:16
  that
• 17:16
  from
• 17:17
  a
• 17:17
  historical
• 17:17
  standpoint,
• 17:18
  that's
• 17:18
  a
• 17:19
  minimum
• 17:19
  of
• 17:20
  9,000
• 17:21
  Roman
• 17:22
  soldiers,
• 17:22
  probably
• 17:23
  closer
• 17:23
  to
• 17:24
  10
• 17:24
  to
• 17:24
  12,000.
• 17:26
  And
• 17:26
  the
• 17:27
  Holy
• 17:27
  Spirit
• 17:27
  allowed
• 17:27
  him
• 17:27
  to
• 17:28
  write
• 17:28
  it
• 17:29
  spread
• 17:29
  to
• 17:29
  all
• 17:30
  of
• 17:30
  them,
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  the
• 17:31
  whole
• 17:31
  of
• 17:31
  that
• 17:32
  praetorium.
• 17:33
  And
• 17:33
  I
• 17:33
  think
• 17:34
  we
• 17:34
  see
• 17:34
  that
• 17:34
  at
• 17:34
  the
• 17:34
  end
• 17:34
  of
• 17:35
  Acts.
• 17:35
  I
• 17:36
  think
• 17:36
  Paul
• 17:36
  was
• 17:37
  so
• 17:37
  influential
• 17:38
  with
• 17:39
  God's
• 17:40
  word
• 17:40
  to
• 17:41
  not
• 17:41
  only
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  Roman
• 17:42
  soldiers
• 17:42
  standing
• 17:43
  guard,
• 17:43
  but
• 17:43
  also
• 17:44
  their
• 17:44
  superiors,
• 17:45
  that
• 17:45
  A
• 17:46
  they
• 17:46
  allowed
• 17:46
  him
• 17:46
  to
• 17:47
  welcome
• 17:47
  anyone
• 17:48
  who
• 17:48
  would
• 17:48
  come
• 17:48
  hear
• 17:48
  the
• 17:49
  gospel
• 17:49
  message.
• 17:50
  And
• 17:50
  the
• 17:50
  Holy
• 17:50
  Spirit's
• 17:51
  very
• 17:51
  personal
• 17:51
  in
• 17:51
  saying
• 17:52
  that
• 17:52
  he
• 17:52
  did
• 17:52
  it
• 17:52
  without
• 17:53
  any
• 17:53
  type
• 17:53
  of
• 17:53
  restriction
• 17:54
  whatsoever.
• 17:56
  And
• 17:56
  I
• 17:56
  think
• 17:56
  that's
• 17:57
  a
• 17:57
  beautiful
• 17:57
  illustration
• 17:58
  of
• 17:58
  this
• 17:58
  thought
• 17:59
  of
• 17:59
  our.
• 18:00
  You
• 18:00
  look
• 18:00
  at
• 18:00
  wherever
• 18:01
  we
• 18:01
  are,
• 18:02
  we
• 18:02
  could
• 18:02
  be
• 18:02
  in
• 18:02
  the
• 18:03
  most
• 18:03
  dire
• 18:03
  circumstances,
• 18:05
  but
• 18:05
  God's
• 18:05
  word
• 18:06
  cannot
• 18:06
  be
• 18:06
  be
• 18:07
  bound.
• 18:07
  What
• 18:07
  else
• 18:07
  do
• 18:07
  you
• 18:08
  have?
• 18:08
  That's
• 18:08
  right,
• 18:08
  move
• 18:08
  on.
• 18:09
  I
• 18:09
  think
• 18:09
  about
• 18:09
  the
• 18:09
  mindset
• 18:10
  of
• 18:10
  I
• 18:10
  will
• 18:10
  not
• 18:11
  be
• 18:11
  afraid
• 18:11
  if
• 18:11
  10,000
• 18:12
  people
• 18:12
  have
• 18:13
  set
• 18:13
  themselves
• 18:13
  against
• 18:14
  me.
• 18:15
  It
• 18:15
  doesn't
• 18:15
  matter
• 18:15
  the
• 18:16
  odds.
• 18:16
  And
• 18:17
  one
• 18:17
  thing
• 18:17
  I've
• 18:17
  always
• 18:18
  said,
• 18:18
  and
• 18:19
  I've
• 18:19
  become
• 18:19
  more
• 18:19
  and
• 18:20
  more
• 18:20
  entrenched
• 18:20
  in
• 18:20
  this
• 18:20
  as
• 18:21
  I
• 18:21
  get
• 18:21
  older
• 18:22
  in
• 18:22
  preaching
• 18:22
  and
• 18:22
  study
• 18:23
  the
• 18:23
  Old
• 18:23
  Testament,
• 18:23
  more
• 18:24
  Israel
• 18:24
  is
• 18:25
  the
• 18:25
  greatest
• 18:25
  world
• 18:25
  power
• 18:26
  we've
• 18:26
  ever
• 18:26
  seen.
• 18:27
  When
• 18:27
  they
• 18:28
  served
• 18:28
  God
• 18:29
  because
• 18:29
  they
• 18:29
  were
• 18:29
  unbeatable.
• 18:30
  When
• 18:31
  you
• 18:31
  look
• 18:31
  at
• 18:31
  them
• 18:31
  in
• 18:31
  Exodus,
• 18:32
  they
• 18:32
  had
• 18:32
  no
• 18:32
  business
• 18:33
  beating
• 18:34
  some
• 18:34
  of
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  people
• 18:35
  that
• 18:35
  they
• 18:35
  beat
• 18:36
  when
• 18:36
  they
• 18:36
  get
• 18:36
  out
• 18:36
  of
• 18:36
  Egypt.
• 18:37
  They
• 18:37
  were
• 18:37
  not
• 18:38
  raised
• 18:38
  to
• 18:38
  be
• 18:38
  warriors
• 18:39
  at
• 18:39
  that
• 18:39
  point
• 18:39
  in
• 18:39
  their
• 18:39
  lives.
• 18:40
  They
• 18:40
  were
• 18:40
  not
• 18:41
  trained.
• 18:41
  I
• 18:41
  mean,
• 18:41
  Egypt
• 18:42
  was
• 18:42
  worried
• 18:42
  that
• 18:42
  they
• 18:42
  were
• 18:43
  going
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  overthrow
• 18:43
  them.
• 18:43
  They're
• 18:43
  going
• 18:43
  to
• 18:44
  put
• 18:44
  a
• 18:44
  sword
• 18:44
  in
• 18:44
  their
• 18:44
  hand
• 18:44
  and
• 18:44
  teach
• 18:45
  them
• 18:45
  how
• 18:45
  to
• 18:45
  fight.
• 18:46
  That
• 18:46
  wasn't
• 18:46
  what
• 18:46
  they
• 18:46
  were
• 18:47
  doing.
• 18:47
  And
• 18:48
  yet
• 18:48
  you
• 18:48
  see
• 18:49
  time
• 18:49
  and
• 18:49
  time
• 18:49
  again
• 18:49
  when
• 18:50
  Israel
• 18:50
  serving
• 18:51
  God,
• 18:51
  God
• 18:52
  says
• 18:52
  the
• 18:52
  odds
• 18:53
  are
• 18:53
  in
• 18:53
  your
• 18:54
  favor.
• 18:54
  Nothing
• 18:55
  happens.
• 18:55
  It
• 18:56
  doesn't
• 18:56
  matter
• 18:56
  if
• 18:56
  the
• 18:56
  wicked
• 18:57
  are
• 18:57
  around
• 18:57
  you.
• 18:57
  It
• 18:58
  doesn't
• 18:58
  matter
• 18:58
  if
• 18:59
  you
• 18:59
  seem
• 18:59
  like
• 18:59
  you're
• 19:00
  bound.
• 19:00
  It
• 19:00
  doesn't
• 19:00
  matter.
• 19:01
  If
• 19:01
  anything,
• 19:02
  I
• 19:02
  can
• 19:02
  still
• 19:02
  make
• 19:03
  this
• 19:03
  go
• 19:03
  in
• 19:04
  my
• 19:04
  favor.
• 19:05
  And
• 19:05
  you
• 19:05
  see
• 19:05
  that
• 19:06
  on
• 19:06
  full
• 19:06
  display
• 19:07
  in
• 19:07
  the
• 19:07
  book
• 19:08
  of
• 19:08
  Daniel.
• 19:08
  When
• 19:09
  they
• 19:09
  are
• 19:09
  bound
• 19:10
  because
• 19:10
  of
• 19:10
  their
• 19:10
  sinful
• 19:11
  actions,
• 19:11
  because
• 19:12
  of
• 19:12
  they,
• 19:12
  you
• 19:12
  know,
• 19:12
  they
• 19:13
  deserved
• 19:13
  it.
• 19:13
  Deuteronomy
• 19:14
  28,
• 19:14
  15,
• 19:15
  68
• 19:16
  and
• 19:16
  yet
• 19:16
  Daniel
• 19:17
  says,
• 19:18
  it
• 19:18
  doesn't
• 19:18
  matter
• 19:18
  that
• 19:19
  we're
• 19:19
  bound
• 19:19
  here.
• 19:20
  I'm
• 19:20
  still
• 19:21
  going
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  do
• 19:21
  the
• 19:22
  law
• 19:22
  of
• 19:23
  my
• 19:23
  Lord.
• 19:23
  And
• 19:24
  it's
• 19:24
  the
• 19:24
  same
• 19:24
  with
• 19:24
  Joseph,
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  idea
• 19:25
  of
• 19:26
  being
• 19:26
  bound
• 19:26
  in
• 19:26
  captivity
• 19:27
  or
• 19:28
  sold
• 19:28
  into
• 19:28
  slavery.
• 19:29
  And
• 19:29
  yet
• 19:30
  he
• 19:30
  doesn't
• 19:30
  say
• 19:30
  to
• 19:30
  Potiphar's
• 19:31
  wife,
• 19:31
  I
• 19:32
  won't
• 19:32
  sin
• 19:32
  against
• 19:32
  Potiphar.
• 19:33
  His
• 19:34
  chief
• 19:34
  concern
• 19:34
  was,
• 19:35
  I
• 19:35
  won't
• 19:35
  sin
• 19:35
  against
• 19:36
  God.
• 19:36
  I
• 19:36
  know
• 19:36
  what
• 19:36
  my
• 19:37
  Lord
• 19:37
  still
• 19:37
  wants
• 19:37
  me
• 19:38
  to
• 19:38
  do.
• 19:38
  And
• 19:39
  today,
• 19:39
  it
• 19:40
  seems
• 19:40
  in
• 19:40
  a
• 19:40
  world
• 19:40
  that
• 19:41
  has
• 19:41
  shifted
• 19:41
  in
• 19:41
  political
• 19:42
  climate
• 19:42
  and
• 19:42
  other
• 19:43
  things
• 19:43
  of
• 19:44
  tons
• 19:44
  of
• 19:44
  stuff
• 19:44
  we
• 19:45
  don't
• 19:45
  have
• 19:45
  time
• 19:45
  to
• 19:45
  talk
• 19:45
  about,
• 19:46
  too
• 19:46
  often
• 19:47
  it
• 19:47
  seems
• 19:47
  like
• 19:47
  we
• 19:47
  forget
• 19:48
  that
• 19:48
  though
• 19:48
  things
• 19:49
  might
• 19:49
  seem
• 19:49
  to
• 19:49
  bind
• 19:50
  us
• 19:50
  and
• 19:51
  put
• 19:51
  us
• 19:51
  in
• 19:51
  a
• 19:51
  box,
• 19:52
  we
• 19:53
  cannot
• 19:53
  forget
• 19:54
  the
• 19:54
  law
• 19:54
  of
• 19:54
  our
• 19:55
  Lord.
• 19:55
  Great
• 19:56
  point.

  Verse
• 19:57
  62,
• 19:58
  at
• 19:58
  midnight
• 19:58
  I
• 19:58
  rise
• 19:59
  to
• 19:59
  praise
• 19:59
  you
• 20:00
  because
• 20:00
  of
• 20:01
  your
• 20:01
  righteous
• 20:01
  rules.
• 20:02
  I
• 20:02
  am
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  companion
• 20:03
  of
• 20:03
  all
• 20:03
  who
• 20:04
  fear
• 20:04
  the
• 20:04
  Lord,
• 20:04
  of
• 20:05
  those
• 20:05
  who
• 20:05
  keep
• 20:06
  your
• 20:06
  precepts,
• 20:06
  O
• 20:07
  earth,
• 20:08
  O
• 20:08
  Lord.
• 20:09
  I'm
• 20:09
  sorry.
• 20:09
  The
• 20:09
  earth,
• 20:10
  O
• 20:10
  Lord,
• 20:11
  is
• 20:11
  full
• 20:11
  of
• 20:11
  your
• 20:11
  steadfast
• 20:12
  love.
• 20:12
  Teach
• 20:13
  me
• 20:13
  your
• 20:13
  statutes.
• 20:14
  What
• 20:14
  do
• 20:14
  you
• 20:14
  have
• 20:14
  there?
• 20:14
  Yeah,
• 20:15
  you
• 20:15
  know,
• 20:15
  many
• 20:15
  of
• 20:15
  us,
• 20:15
  if
• 20:15
  we
• 20:15
  wake
• 20:16
  up
• 20:16
  in
• 20:16
  the
• 20:16
  middle
• 20:16
  of
• 20:16
  the
• 20:17
  night,
• 20:17
  are
• 20:17
  frustrated.
• 20:18
  We're
• 20:19
  not
• 20:19
  excited
• 20:19
  about
• 20:20
  that.
• 20:20
  Thought
• 20:21
  we
• 20:21
  might
• 20:21
  struggle
• 20:21
  to
• 20:22
  go
• 20:22
  back
• 20:22
  to
• 20:22
  bed.
• 20:22
  But
• 20:23
  the
• 20:23
  psalmist
• 20:23
  is
• 20:23
  so
• 20:24
  appreciative
• 20:24
  of
• 20:24
  what
• 20:25
  God
• 20:25
  is
• 20:26
  doing
• 20:27
  for
• 20:27
  him
• 20:27
  and
• 20:27
  who
• 20:27
  God
• 20:28
  is,
• 20:28
  that
• 20:29
  his
• 20:29
  sleep
• 20:30
  is
• 20:30
  interrupted
• 20:31
  by
• 20:31
  these
• 20:31
  wonderful
• 20:32
  thoughts
• 20:33
  that
• 20:33
  I'm
• 20:33
  going
• 20:33
  to,
• 20:33
  at
• 20:34
  midnight,
• 20:35
  be
• 20:35
  awoken
• 20:36
  from
• 20:36
  sleep
• 20:37
  and
• 20:37
  go
• 20:37
  and
• 20:37
  praise
• 20:38
  you.
• 20:38
  And
• 20:38
  he
• 20:38
  doesn't
• 20:38
  stay
• 20:39
  in
• 20:39
  his
• 20:39
  bed
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  praise
• 20:40
  the
• 20:40
  Lord.
• 20:40
  And
• 20:40
  while
• 20:40
  there's
• 20:40
  nothing
• 20:41
  inherently
• 20:42
  more
• 20:42
  holy
• 20:42
  about
• 20:43
  rising
• 20:43
  out
• 20:43
  of
• 20:43
  bed,
• 20:44
  it
• 20:44
  doesn't
• 20:44
  make
• 20:44
  you
• 20:44
  a
• 20:44
  better,
• 20:45
  you
• 20:45
  know,
• 20:45
  child
• 20:45
  of
• 20:46
  God
• 20:46
  to
• 20:46
  do
• 20:46
  this.
• 20:47
  The
• 20:47
  fact
• 20:47
  that
• 20:47
  he
• 20:47
  says,
• 20:48
  I'm
• 20:48
  going
• 20:48
  to
• 20:48
  take
• 20:48
  the
• 20:49
  time
• 20:49
  to
• 20:49
  rise
• 20:49
  up
• 20:50
  and
• 20:50
  give
• 20:51
  thanks
• 20:51
  to
• 20:51
  you
• 20:51
  because
• 20:51
  of
• 20:52
  your
• 20:52
  righteous
• 20:52
  judgments,
• 20:53
  it
• 20:53
  shows
• 20:54
  that
• 20:54
  great
• 20:54
  dedication.
• 20:55
  And
• 20:55
  it's
• 20:55
  as
• 20:55
  if
• 20:55
  he
• 20:56
  realized
• 20:56
  perhaps
• 20:57
  that
• 20:57
  maybe
• 20:57
  throughout
• 20:58
  the
• 20:58
  day,
• 20:59
  though
• 20:59
  he
• 20:59
  seems
• 20:59
  to
• 21:00
  be
• 21:00
  someone
• 21:00
  focused
• 21:01
  on
• 21:01
  looking
• 21:01
  at
• 21:01
  the
• 21:02
  glorious
• 21:02
  gifts
• 21:03
  of
• 21:03
  God.
• 21:03
  Maybe
• 21:04
  he
• 21:04
  gets
• 21:04
  into
• 21:04
  the
• 21:04
  bed
• 21:05
  and
• 21:05
  he
• 21:05
  thinks,
• 21:06
  I
• 21:06
  didn't
• 21:06
  praise
• 21:06
  him
• 21:06
  enough,
• 21:07
  I
• 21:07
  need
• 21:07
  to
• 21:07
  praise
• 21:07
  him
• 21:07
  some
• 21:08
  more.
• 21:08
  And
• 21:08
  I
• 21:08
  think
• 21:09
  that's
• 21:09
  an
• 21:09
  easy
• 21:09
  thing
• 21:10
  for
• 21:10
  us
• 21:10
  to
• 21:10
  get
• 21:10
  caught
• 21:10
  up
• 21:10
  in
• 21:11
  doing
• 21:11
  as
• 21:11
  well
• 21:11
  in
• 21:12
  our
• 21:12
  own
• 21:12
  lives
• 21:12
  is
• 21:13
  not
• 21:13
  realizing
• 21:14
  that
• 21:15
  God
• 21:15
  deserves
• 21:16
  praise
• 21:16
  every
• 21:16
  day.
• 21:17
  Not
• 21:17
  just
• 21:18
  when
• 21:18
  I
• 21:18
  feel
• 21:19
  like
• 21:19
  it's
• 21:19
  time
• 21:19
  to
• 21:19
  praise
• 21:20
  him
• 21:20
  or
• 21:20
  when
• 21:20
  there's
• 21:20
  a
• 21:20
  meal
• 21:21
  in
• 21:21
  front
• 21:21
  of
• 21:21
  me.
• 21:21
  There's
• 21:22
  all
• 21:22
  portions
• 21:22
  of
• 21:23
  the
• 21:23
  day.
• 21:23
  And
• 21:23
  I
• 21:23
  think
• 21:24
  that
• 21:24
  this
• 21:24
  is
• 21:24
  true
• 21:25
  no
• 21:25
  matter
• 21:25
  our
• 21:25
  circumstance.
• 21:26
  Of
• 21:26
  course,
• 21:26
  we
• 21:27
  know
• 21:27
  the
• 21:27
  famous
• 21:28
  verse
• 21:28
  Acts
• 21:28
  16:25.
• 21:29
  At
• 21:29
  midnight,
• 21:30
  Paul
• 21:30
  and
• 21:30
  Silas
• 21:30
  were
• 21:31
  singing
• 21:31
  hymns
• 21:32
  and
• 21:32
  worshiping
• 21:33
  God
• 21:33
  while
• 21:34
  in
• 21:34
  prison.
• 21:35
  Again,
• 21:35
  it's
• 21:35
  the
• 21:35
  understanding
• 21:36
  of
• 21:37
  God
• 21:37
  is
• 21:38
  most
• 21:38
  important
• 21:39
  in
• 21:39
  verse
• 21:40
  63,
• 21:41
  the
• 21:42
  love
• 21:43
  that's
• 21:44
  talked
• 21:44
  about
• 21:44
  here
• 21:45
  that
• 21:45
  can
• 21:45
  fill
• 21:46
  the
• 21:46
  whole
• 21:46
  earth.
• 21:47
  And
• 21:47
  when
• 21:47
  we
• 21:48
  show
• 21:48
  others
• 21:48
  that
• 21:49
  we
• 21:49
  have
• 21:49
  something
• 21:50
  worth
• 21:50
  sharing,
• 21:51
  others
• 21:51
  will
• 21:52
  want
• 21:52
  what
• 21:52
  we
• 21:52
  have.
• 21:53
  And
• 21:53
  again,
• 21:53
  I
• 21:54
  look
• 21:54
  back
• 21:54
  to
• 21:54
  Daniel
• 21:54
  1
• 21:55
  through
• 21:55
  6,
• 21:55
  which
• 21:55
  I
• 21:55
  think
• 21:56
  is
• 21:56
  a
• 21:56
  masterclass
• 21:57
  for
• 21:57
  our
• 21:58
  church
• 21:58
  today
• 21:58
  to
• 21:59
  really
• 21:59
  focus
• 22:00
  on
• 22:00
  every
• 22:00
  four
• 22:01
  years
• 22:01
  during
• 22:01
  an
• 22:01
  election
• 22:02
  year.
• 22:02
  Read
• 22:03
  Daniel
• 22:00
  1:6,
• 22:04
  see
• 22:04
  how
• 22:04
  they
• 22:04
  operated,
• 22:05
  see
• 22:05
  how
• 22:05
  they
• 22:05
  behaved,
• 22:06
  and
• 22:06
  watch
• 22:06
  what
• 22:07
  happened.
• 22:08
  Instead
• 22:08
  of
• 22:08
  going
• 22:08
  and
• 22:09
  trying
• 22:09
  to
• 22:09
  say,
• 22:09
  this
• 22:09
  isn't
• 22:10
  our
• 22:10
  king,
• 22:10
  God's
• 22:10
  our
• 22:11
  king.
• 22:11
  We
• 22:11
  don't
• 22:11
  have
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  listen
• 22:11
  to
• 22:11
  this
• 22:12
  guy.
• 22:12
  No,
• 22:12
  they
• 22:13
  did
• 22:13
  what
• 22:13
  they
• 22:13
  were
• 22:13
  supposed
• 22:14
  to
• 22:14
  do
• 22:14
  and
• 22:15
  still
• 22:15
  showed
• 22:15
  God
• 22:16
  in
• 22:16
  the
• 22:16
  process.
• 22:17
  And
• 22:17
  at
• 22:17
  the
• 22:17
  end
• 22:17
  of
• 22:17
  all
• 22:18
  six
• 22:18
  of
• 22:18
  those
• 22:19
  chapters,
• 22:20
  God
• 22:20
  is
• 22:20
  either
• 22:21
  established
• 22:22
  in
• 22:22
  some
• 22:22
  type
• 22:23
  of
• 22:23
  way
• 22:23
  in
• 22:23
  Babylon
• 22:24
  or
• 22:24
  Medo
• 22:24
  Persia.
• 22:25
  And
• 22:26
  if
• 22:27
  that's
• 22:27
  not
• 22:27
  the
• 22:27
  only
• 22:28
  thing
• 22:28
  that
• 22:28
  happens.
• 22:29
  On
• 22:29
  top
• 22:29
  of
• 22:29
  that,
• 22:29
  there
• 22:30
  are
• 22:30
  letters
• 22:30
  at
• 22:30
  times
• 22:31
  at
• 22:31
  the
• 22:31
  end
• 22:31
  of
• 22:31
  these
• 22:31
  chapters
• 22:32
  sent
• 22:32
  saying,
• 22:32
  let
• 22:33
  me
• 22:33
  declare
• 22:33
  to
• 22:34
  you
• 22:34
  the
• 22:35
  God
• 22:35
  of
• 22:35
  Daniel
• 22:36
  and
• 22:36
  of
• 22:37
  Shadrach,
• 22:37
  Meshach
• 22:37
  and
• 22:38
  Abednego.
• 22:38
  This
• 22:38
  is
• 22:39
  the
• 22:39
  God
• 22:39
  that
• 22:39
  you
• 22:39
  need
• 22:39
  to
• 22:40
  be
• 22:40
  looking
• 22:40
  at.
• 22:40
  Look
• 22:40
  at
• 22:41
  what
• 22:41
  he's
• 22:41
  done
• 22:41
  for
• 22:41
  us.
• 22:42
  A
• 22:42
  companion
• 22:43
  of
• 22:43
  all
• 22:43
  who
• 22:44
  fear
• 22:44
  you
• 22:44
  and
• 22:45
  of
• 22:45
  those
• 22:45
  who
• 22:45
  keep
• 22:46
  your
• 22:46
  precepts.
• 22:47
  That
• 22:47
  doesn't
• 22:47
  just
• 22:48
  extend
• 22:48
  to
• 22:49
  just
• 22:49
  those
• 22:49
  that
• 22:50
  we
• 22:50
  agree
• 22:50
  with,
• 22:50
  though.
• 22:51
  We
• 22:51
  need
• 22:51
  to
• 22:52
  find
• 22:52
  ways
• 22:52
  to
• 22:52
  become
• 22:52
  companion
• 22:53
  with
• 22:53
  everybody
• 22:54
  else.
• 22:54
  And
• 22:54
  this
• 22:55
  brings
• 22:55
  us
• 22:55
  to
• 22:55
  the
• 22:55
  final
• 22:56
  verse
• 22:56
  for
• 22:56
  me,
• 22:57
  the
• 22:57
  wonderful
• 22:57
  companionship
• 22:58
  that
• 22:58
  can
• 22:59
  be
• 22:59
  promoted
• 22:59
  by
• 23:00
  countless
• 23:00
  Christians
• 23:01
  who
• 23:01
  have
• 23:01
  experienced
• 23:02
  this
• 23:02
  warm
• 23:02
  fellowship
• 23:03
  across
• 23:03
  all
• 23:04
  race,
• 23:04
  class,
• 23:05
  nationality
• 23:06
  and
• 23:06
  education.
• 23:07
  And
• 23:08
  despite
• 23:08
  the
• 23:08
  sin
• 23:08
  that
• 23:09
  plagues
• 23:09
  us,
• 23:10
  God's
• 23:10
  goodness
• 23:10
  is
• 23:11
  still
• 23:11
  possible
• 23:11
  to
• 23:12
  be
• 23:12
  felt.
• 23:12
  He
• 23:13
  felt
• 23:13
  the
• 23:13
  goodness
• 23:13
  in
• 23:14
  Genesis
• 23:14
  1:31,
• 23:15
  Everything
• 23:15
  I've
• 23:15
  made
• 23:16
  is
• 23:16
  good.
• 23:16
  And
• 23:16
  in
• 23:17
  Psalm
• 23:17
  33:5
• 23:18
  he
• 23:18
  loves
• 23:19
  righteousness
• 23:19
  and
• 23:20
  justice.
• 23:20
  The
• 23:21
  earth
• 23:21
  is
• 23:21
  full
• 23:22
  of
• 23:22
  the
• 23:22
  goodness
• 23:23
  of
• 23:23
  the
• 23:23
  Lord.
• 23:23
  It
• 23:23
  may
• 23:23
  be
• 23:24
  hard
• 23:24
  to
• 23:24
  see
• 23:24
  that
• 23:24
  at
• 23:24
  times,
• 23:25
  but
• 23:25
  it's
• 23:25
  still
• 23:26
  true
• 23:26
  that
• 23:26
  I
• 23:26
  can
• 23:26
  look
• 23:26
  at
• 23:27
  this
• 23:27
  world
• 23:27
  and
• 23:27
  see
• 23:27
  God's
• 23:28
  goodness.
• 23:29
  Excellent
• 23:29
  point.
• 23:29
  I
• 23:29
  circled
• 23:30
  midnight.
• 23:30
  I'm
• 23:30
  glad
• 23:31
  you
• 23:31
  brought
• 23:31
  that
• 23:31
  up.
• 23:32
  From
• 23:33
  the
• 23:33
  standpoint
• 23:33
  of
• 23:35
  anytime,
• 23:36
  anywhere,
• 23:37
  you
• 23:37
  put
• 23:37
  Ephesians
• 23:38
  chapter
• 23:38
  5,
• 23:38
  verse
• 23:38
  20,
• 23:39
  as
• 23:39
  well
• 23:39
  as
• 23:40
  1st
• 23:40
  Thessalonians
• 23:40
  5:18.
• 23:42
  And
• 23:42
  I
• 23:42
  just
• 23:42
  put
• 23:43
  everywhere
• 23:43
  at
• 23:43
  all
• 23:43
  times.
• 23:44
  And
• 23:44
  I
• 23:44
  think
• 23:44
  that's
• 23:45
  represented
• 23:45
  by
• 23:45
  midnight.
• 23:46
  And
• 23:46
  like
• 23:46
  you
• 23:46
  said,
• 23:46
  if
• 23:46
  you
• 23:47
  go
• 23:47
  to
• 23:47
  bed
• 23:47
  and
• 23:48
  I
• 23:48
  haven't
• 23:48
  done
• 23:48
  enough,
• 23:49
  then
• 23:49
  I'm
• 23:49
  going
• 23:49
  to
• 23:49
  do
• 23:49
  it
• 23:49
  again
• 23:50
  at
• 23:50
  that
• 23:50
  time.
• 23:51
  So
• 23:51
  excellent,
• 23:51
  excellent
• 23:52
  point
• 23:52
  there.
• 23:53
  I
• 23:54
  underlined
• 23:55
  all
• 23:55
  who
• 23:55
  fear
• 23:56
  you
• 23:56
  and
• 23:57
  just
• 23:57
  put
• 23:57
  what
• 23:57
  a
• 23:58
  wonderful
• 23:58
  compliment.
• 23:59
  Great
• 24:00
  company.
• 24:00
  First
• 24:01
  Corinthians
• 24:01
  15,
• 24:02
  verse
• 24:02
  33.
• 24:03
  The
• 24:03
  point
• 24:03
  being
• 24:04
  is,
• 24:04
  is
• 24:04
  what
• 24:04
  a
• 24:05
  great
• 24:05
  way
• 24:05
  to
• 24:05
  be
• 24:06
  described
• 24:07
  by
• 24:07
  somebody.
• 24:08
  1.
• 24:08
  You
• 24:08
  know,
• 24:09
  though,
• 24:09
  this
• 24:09
  group,
• 24:10
  this
• 24:10
  categorization
• 24:12
  of
• 24:12
  individuals,
• 24:13
  they
• 24:13
  are
• 24:13
  the
• 24:13
  ones
• 24:13
  who
• 24:14
  fear
• 24:14
  God,
• 24:14
  right?
• 24:15
  You
• 24:15
  can
• 24:15
  also
• 24:15
  put
• 24:16
  Genesis
• 24:16
  31,
• 24:17
  verses
• 24:17
  42
• 24:18
  and
• 24:18
  53,
• 24:20
  where
• 24:20
  when
• 24:20
  you
• 24:20
  go
• 24:20
  over
• 24:21
  there,
• 24:21
  God
• 24:21
  is
• 24:22
  described
• 24:22
  as
• 24:22
  the
• 24:23
  fear
• 24:23
  of
• 24:23
  Isaac.
• 24:24
  Fear
• 24:24
  there
• 24:24
  is
• 24:24
  actually
• 24:24
  capitalized.
• 24:25
  That's
• 24:25
  a.
• 24:26
  That's
• 24:26
  a
• 24:26
  description
• 24:27
  of
• 24:27
  God
• 24:28
  that's
• 24:28
  being
• 24:29
  used.
• 24:29
  He's
• 24:29
  the
• 24:29
  fear
• 24:30
  of
• 24:30
  Isaac,
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  respect
• 24:31
  or
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  reverence
• 24:33
  of
• 24:33
  him.
• 24:35
  Steadfast
• 24:35
  love,
• 24:36
  which
• 24:36
  we
• 24:36
  mentioned
• 24:37
  in
• 24:37
  previous
• 24:38
  episodes
• 24:38
  is
• 24:39
  that
• 24:39
  Greek
• 24:39
  or
• 24:39
  that
• 24:40
  Hebrew
• 24:40
  word
• 24:40
  has
• 24:41
  said,
• 24:42
  again,
• 24:42
  just
• 24:43
  to
• 24:43
  reiterate
• 24:44
  that
• 24:44
  the
• 24:44
  benefit
• 24:45
  of
• 24:45
  being
• 24:45
  in
• 24:46
  a
• 24:46
  covenantal
• 24:46
  relationship,
• 24:47
  all
• 24:47
  the
• 24:47
  benefits
• 24:48
  that
• 24:48
  come
• 24:48
  with
• 24:48
  it.
• 24:50
  And
• 24:50
  I
• 24:50
  don't
• 24:50
  always.
• 24:52
  I
• 24:52
  definitely
• 24:52
  don't
• 24:53
  agree
• 24:53
  with
• 24:53
  a
• 24:53
  lot
• 24:53
  of
• 24:54
  what
• 24:54
  Charles
• 24:54
  Spurgeon
• 24:55
  says,
• 24:56
  but
• 24:56
  on
• 24:57
  this
• 24:57
  passage,
• 24:57
  he
• 24:58
  said
• 24:58
  this,
• 24:58
  and
• 24:58
  I
• 24:58
  put
• 24:58
  it
• 24:59
  in
• 24:59
  here
• 24:59
  because
• 24:59
  I
• 24:59
  think
• 24:59
  it's
• 25:00
  great.
• 25:00
  He
• 25:00
  who
• 25:00
  does
• 25:01
  not
• 25:01
  care
• 25:02
  to
• 25:02
  be
• 25:03
  instructed
• 25:03
  by
• 25:03
  the
• 25:04
  Lord
• 25:05
  has
• 25:05
  never
• 25:05
  honestly
• 25:07
  resolved
• 25:08
  to
• 25:08
  be
• 25:08
  holy.
• 25:10
  And
• 25:10
  I
• 25:10
  think
• 25:11
  when
• 25:11
  it
• 25:11
  says
• 25:11
  that
• 25:12
  phrase,
• 25:12
  teach
• 25:13
  me
• 25:13
  your
• 25:13
  statutes
• 25:15
  used
• 25:15
  throughout
• 25:16
  this
• 25:16
  psalm,
• 25:17
  we're
• 25:17
  going
• 25:18
  to
• 25:18
  see
• 25:18
  that
• 25:18
  that
• 25:19
  mentality,
• 25:19
  Teach
• 25:20
  me
• 25:20
  your
• 25:20
  statutes.
• 25:21
  I.
• 25:21
  If
• 25:22
  we
• 25:22
  want
• 25:22
  to
• 25:22
  be
• 25:22
  holy
• 25:23
  the
• 25:23
  way
• 25:23
  God
• 25:23
  is
• 25:23
  holy,
• 25:24
  first
• 25:24
  Peter,
• 25:24
  chapter
• 25:24
  one,
• 25:25
  in
• 25:25
  verse
• 25:25
  16,
• 25:26
  and
• 25:26
  we
• 25:26
  want
• 25:27
  to
• 25:27
  be
• 25:27
  pleasing
• 25:27
  to
• 25:27
  God,
• 25:28
  then
• 25:28
  this
• 25:29
  has
• 25:29
  to
• 25:29
  be
• 25:29
  at
• 25:29
  the
• 25:29
  front
• 25:29
  of
• 25:30
  our
• 25:30
  mind.
• 25:30
  Teach
• 25:30
  me
• 25:31
  your
• 25:31
  statutes
• 25:32
  for
• 25:33
  real
• 25:33
  quick,
• 25:33
  if
• 25:33
  you'll
• 25:33
  allow
• 25:34
  me.
• 25:34
  We
• 25:34
  mentioned
• 25:34
  earlier
• 25:35
  that
• 25:36
  all
• 25:37
  or
• 25:37
  seven
• 25:38
  of
• 25:38
  the
• 25:38
  synonyms
• 25:39
  used
• 25:39
  for
• 25:39
  the
• 25:39
  word
• 25:40
  are
• 25:41
  in
• 25:41
  this
• 25:41
  stanza.
• 25:42
  Verse
• 25:43
  57
• 25:44
  words
• 25:45
  is
• 25:45
  the
• 25:45
  first
• 25:46
  one,
• 25:47
  verse
• 25:47
  59
• 25:48
  testimonies
• 25:49
  is
• 25:49
  the
• 25:49
  second
• 25:49
  one,
• 25:50
  verse
• 25:50
  60
• 25:51
  commandments
• 25:52
  is
• 25:53
  the
• 25:53
  third
• 25:53
  one,
• 25:54
  61
• 25:55
  law
• 25:55
  is
• 25:56
  the
• 25:56
  fourth
• 25:56
  one,
• 25:57
  62
• 25:58
  rules
• 25:59
  is
• 25:59
  the
• 25:59
  fifth
• 26:00
  one.
• 26:01
  63
• 26:02
  precepts,
• 26:03
  that's
• 26:03
  number
• 26:04
  six.
• 26:04
  And
• 26:04
  then
• 26:05
  here
• 26:05
  in
• 26:05
  64
• 26:06
  statutes
• 26:06
  is
• 26:07
  the
• 26:07
  seventh.
• 26:08
  And
• 26:08
  so
• 26:09
  obviously
• 26:10
  the
• 26:10
  head
• 26:11
  section
• 26:11
  or
• 26:11
  stroke
• 26:12
  of
• 26:12
  this
• 26:12
  psalm
• 26:13
  focusing
• 26:13
  on
• 26:14
  His
• 26:14
  Word.
• 26:14
  What
• 26:14
  do
• 26:14
  you
• 26:14
  have?
• 26:15
  Before
• 26:15
  we
• 26:15
  close,
• 26:16
  I
• 26:16
  think
• 26:16
  that
• 26:16
  the
• 26:17
  easiest
• 26:17
  thing
• 26:17
  to
• 26:18
  point
• 26:18
  out
• 26:18
  is
• 26:18
  this.
• 26:19
  If
• 26:20
  God
• 26:20
  is
• 26:20
  my
• 26:20
  portion,
• 26:21
  I
• 26:21
  will
• 26:22
  always
• 26:22
  feel
• 26:22
  full.
• 26:23
  But
• 26:24
  when
• 26:24
  I
• 26:24
  allow
• 26:24
  myself
• 26:25
  to
• 26:25
  look
• 26:25
  at
• 26:25
  anything
• 26:25
  but
• 26:26
  God,
• 26:26
  I
• 26:27
  will
• 26:27
  never
• 26:27
  be
• 26:27
  satisfied.
• 26:28
  I'll
• 26:28
  always
• 26:28
  want
• 26:29
  more.
• 26:29
  And
• 26:30
  that's
• 26:30
  what
• 26:30
  sin
• 26:30
  always
• 26:30
  promises.
• 26:31
  Just
• 26:31
  once
• 26:31
  more
• 26:32
  and
• 26:32
  you'll
• 26:32
  be
• 26:32
  happy
• 26:32
  and
• 26:32
  you'll
• 26:33
  be
• 26:33
  satisfied.
• 26:34
  And
• 26:34
  the
• 26:34
  greatest
• 26:35
  joke
• 26:35
  the
• 26:35
  devil
• 26:35
  plays
• 26:36
  on
• 26:36
  us
• 26:36
  is
• 26:36
  God
• 26:36
  all
• 26:37
  along
• 26:37
  is
• 26:37
  what
• 26:37
  will
• 26:37
  fill
• 26:38
  us.
• 26:38
  And
• 26:38
  the
• 26:38
  devil
• 26:39
  says,
• 26:39
  no,
• 26:39
  no,
• 26:39
  no,
• 26:39
  he's
• 26:39
  not
• 26:40
  enough.
• 26:40
  He's
• 26:40
  not
• 26:40
  enough.
• 26:41
  And
• 26:41
  God
• 26:41
  says
• 26:42
  in
• 26:42
  this
• 26:42
  Masterclass
• 26:43
  here,
• 26:43
  verses
• 26:44
  57
• 26:44
  through
• 26:45
  64,
• 26:45
  I'm
• 26:46
  more
• 26:46
  than
• 26:46
  enough.
• 26:47
  Excellent
• 26:47
  point.
• 26:48
  And
• 26:48
  I
• 26:48
  think
• 26:49
  just
• 26:49
  to
• 26:49
  build
• 26:49
  on
• 26:50
  that
• 26:50
  thought,
• 26:51
  we
• 26:51
  can't
• 26:52
  truly
• 26:52
  call
• 26:52
  God
• 26:53
  our
• 26:53
  portion.
• 26:53
  Apart
• 26:54
  from
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  Word,
• 26:55
  how
• 26:55
  many
• 26:55
  people
• 26:55
  have
• 26:55
  talked
• 26:56
  about
• 26:56
  having
• 26:56
  a
• 26:56
  relationship
• 26:57
  with
• 26:57
  Jesus?
• 26:58
  I
• 26:58
  have
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  relationship
• 26:59
  with
• 26:59
  Jesus.
• 26:59
  You
• 26:59
  know,
• 27:00
  I
• 27:00
  just,
• 27:00
  you
• 27:00
  know,
• 27:00
  whatever.
• 27:02
  You
• 27:02
  and
• 27:02
  I
• 27:03
  can't
• 27:03
  do
• 27:03
  that
• 27:03
  without
• 27:03
  his
• 27:04
  word.
• 27:04
  Excellent
• 27:04
  point.
• 27:05
  Anything
• 27:05
  else
• 27:05
  before
• 27:06
  we
• 27:06
  close?
• 27:06
  No.
• 27:07
  Thank
• 27:07
  you
• 27:07
  again
• 27:07
  for
• 27:07
  having
• 27:08
  me
• 27:08
  on
• 27:08
  this.
• 27:08
  I
• 27:08
  love
• 27:08
  this
• 27:09
  program
• 27:09
  so
• 27:09
  much.
• 27:09
  I
• 27:10
  enjoy
• 27:10
  the
• 27:10
  deep
• 27:10
  study.
• 27:11
  I
• 27:11
  think
• 27:12
  it
• 27:12
  proves
• 27:12
  the
• 27:13
  statement
• 27:13
  we
• 27:13
  always
• 27:14
  heard
• 27:14
  growing
• 27:14
  up.
• 27:15
  You
• 27:15
  give
• 27:15
  two
• 27:15
  preachers
• 27:16
  the
• 27:16
  same
• 27:16
  subject
• 27:16
  and
• 27:17
  you'll
• 27:17
  hear
• 27:17
  two
• 27:17
  different
• 27:18
  viewpoints,
• 27:19
  but

  the
