  To love letters. Welcome to Love Letters from
• 1:06
  God. We're going to read from the
• 1:09
  book of Psalms today about 3 different psalms and they're all
• 1:14
  kind of short psalms but a bit a little preaching before we do
• 1:19
  this Psalm. There's a verse in Proverbs, and
• 1:23
  we've read this before when we were going through the book of
• 1:27
  Proverbs, but I wanted to mention it again right now, and
• 1:32
  it's talking about you and me. When we do something stupid, we
• 1:40
  do something foolish and how God handles that situation.
• 1:47
  The references in Proverbs 19 and three and it says a person's
• 1:53
  own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against
• 2:02
  the Lord. That's Proverbs 19 and 3.
• 2:09
  All of us at one time or another feel pain.
• 2:19
  Pain takes on a all kinds of different forms.
• 2:26
  It can be physical pain, but more often it's an emotional
• 2:34
  pain. Sometimes we lie, we don't tell
• 2:43
  the truth, and we cause pain in our lives.
• 2:51
  Sometimes we let our temper get out of control, and then we have
• 2:59
  to have help to get out of the mess that we got ourselves in.
• 3:05
  Because of all of that, sometimes we can get angry with
• 3:12
  God about what happens to us. Why couldn't God has stopped
• 3:19
  whatever it is that brought all the pain?
• 3:23
  Why couldn't He have prevented prevented us from making some
• 3:29
  kind of a stupid decision? That particular proverb says
• 3:39
  that we often are angry with the Lord about the decisions that we
• 3:45
  have made ourselves. But you know, we're not pawns.
• 3:54
  God does not move us as he decides to do.
• 4:02
  He gives you and me freedom to move in the way we want to move.
• 4:10
  And sometimes we move the wrong way.
• 4:14
  We make wrong decisions, and sometimes we make good ones too.
• 4:20
  But in all of the various circumstances that we live in,
• 4:26
  we are responsible ourselves before God for the choices we
• 4:33
  make. And yet He is the loving Lord
• 4:42
  regardless of what decisions we make and do.
• 4:48
  He is a loving Lord who overwhelms us with His love.
• 4:56
  And when we do make these wrong choices, we don't blame the Lord
• 5:02
  but or we shouldn't. But we need to bow down in
• 5:08
  confession before Him, and we know that our Lord knows our
• 5:17
  weaknesses and He will forgive us.
• 5:22
  And He does this because Christ paid for those wrong choices
• 5:30
  that we make too many times. With those thoughts in mind,
• 5:37
  we're going to read these three Psalms that kind of talk about
• 5:46
  the same sort of thing. The first one is Psalms 2.
• 5:51
  Some people think that this particular Psalm may have been
• 5:54
  written by Solomon, but I don't know for sure.
• 5:59
  But let's read it. Why do the nations rage, and the
• 6:05
  people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set
• 6:10
  themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against the
• 6:16
  Lord and against his anointed, saying, Let's break their bonds
• 6:22
  and pieces, and castaway their cords from us.
• 6:29
  That he who sits in the heavens shall laugh.
• 6:34
  The Lord shall hold him in derision, and then he shall
• 6:37
  speak to them in his wrath, and distress them in his deep
• 6:41
  displeasure. Yet I have set my king on my
• 6:47
  holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree.
• 6:52
  The Lord has said to me, You are my Son today I have begotten
• 6:59
  you. Ask of me, and I will give it to
• 7:03
  you. The nations for your
• 7:06
  inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
• 7:11
  You should break them with a rod of iron.
• 7:14
  You should dash them to pieces like a Potter's vessel.
• 7:19
  Now, therefore be wise, O kings, be instructed you judges of the
• 7:26
  earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and
• 7:30
  rejoice with trembling. Kiss the sum lest he be angry,
• 7:35
  and you perish in the way when his wrath is kindled but a
• 7:40
  little. Blessed are all those who put
• 7:44
  their trust in Him. That's Psalms 2.
• 7:49
  Jump over now to Psalms 20. May the Lord answer you in the
• 7:58
  day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob
• 8:02
  defend you. May He send you help from the
• 8:07
  sanctuary and strengthen you out of Zion.
• 8:11
  May He remember all of your offerings and accept your burnt
• 8:17
  sacrifice. May He grant you according to
• 8:20
  your heart's desire and fulfill all of your purpose.
• 8:26
  We will rejoice in your salvation and in the name of our
• 8:31
  God, we will set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your
• 8:35
  petitions. Now I know that the Lord saves
• 8:40
  his anointed. He will answer him from His holy
• 8:44
  heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
• 8:49
  Some trust in Chariots, some in horses, but we will remember the
• 8:55
  name of the Lord our God. They have bowed and down and
• 9:01
  fallen, but we have risen and stand upright, save Lord.
• 9:09
  May the King answer us when we call.
• 9:12
  That's Psalm 20. Let's continue on in Psalm 21.
• 9:18
  The King shall have joy in your strength, O Lord, and in your
• 9:22
  salvation. How greatly shall he rejoice?
• 9:27
  You have given him his heart's desire, and you've not withheld
• 9:31
  the request of his lips, for you meet him with the blessings of
• 9:36
  goodness. You set a crown of pure gold
• 9:40
  upon his head. He asked life from you, and you
• 9:45
  gave it to him. Length of days, forever and
• 9:48
  ever. His glory is great in your
• 9:53
  salvation. Honor and majesty you have
• 9:58
  placed upon him, for you have made him most blessed forever.
• 10:06
  You have made him exceedingly glad with your presence.
• 10:12
  For the King trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the
• 10:15
  Most High he should not be moved.
• 10:18
  Your hand will find all your enemies, your right hand will
• 10:23
  find those who hate you. You shall make them as a fiery
• 10:28
  oven in the time of your anger. The Lord should swallow them up
• 10:33
  in his wrath, and the fire should devour them.
• 10:37
  Their offspring you should destroy from the earth, and
• 10:41
  their descendants from among the sons of men, for they intended
• 10:46
  evil against you. They devised a plot which
• 10:50
  they're not able to perform. Therefore you will make them
• 10:55
  turn their back, and you will make ready your arrows on your
• 10:59
  strength toward their faces. Be exalted, O Lord, in your own
• 11:05
  strength we will sing and praise your power.
• 11:11
  So that's Psalm #22 yes, the Lord knows when you make
• 11:19
  mistakes, but He loves you. Let's have a prayer, God of
• 11:26
  grace and our follies before you and you knowing that it was
• 11:41
  forgiven for the sake of Christ. We know that you forgives us and
• 11:51
  we're so thankful for that. We pray that in Jesus name,
• 11:57
  Amen. And that's it for today.
