  Welcome

  to

  The

  Dwelling
• 0:01
  Place
• 0:01
  where
• 0:02
  we
• 0:02
  believe
• 0:02
  that
• 0:02
  the
• 0:02
  presence
• 0:03
  of
• 0:03
  the
• 0:03
  Lord
• 0:03
  in
• 0:03
  our
• 0:03
  lives
• 0:04
  transforms
• 0:05
  us
• 0:05
  and
• 0:06
  our
• 0:06
  dwellings
• 0:06
  with
• 0:06
  our
• 0:06
  families.
• 0:07
  I'm
• 0:07
  Stephanie
• 0:08
  Hickox,
• 0:08
  and
• 0:08
  this
• 0:08
  is
• 0:08
  brought
• 0:09
  to
• 0:09
  you
• 0:09
  by

  Entrusted

  Ministries.
• 0:10
  As
• 0:10
  we
• 0:11
  continue
• 0:11
  in
• 0:11
  the
• 0:11
  Book
• 0:11
  of
• 0:11
  Job,
• 0:12
  we'll
• 0:12
  look
• 0:12
  at
• 0:13
  chapter
• 0:13
  16
• 0:13
  through
• 0:14
  21.
• 0:14
  I
• 0:15
  know
• 0:15
  it's
• 0:15
  a
• 0:15
  lot
• 0:15
  to
• 0:15
  cover,
• 0:16
  but
• 0:16
  because
• 0:16
  it's
• 0:17
  written
• 0:17
  in
• 0:17
  a
• 0:17
  poetic
• 0:18
  format,
• 0:18
  these
• 0:18
  chapters
• 0:19
  go
• 0:19
  a
• 0:19
  little
• 0:19
  bit
• 0:19
  more
• 0:20
  quickly
• 0:20
  than
• 0:20
  other
• 0:20
  portions
• 0:21
  of
• 0:21
  scripture.
• 0:22
  And
• 0:22
  if
• 0:22
  we're
• 0:22
  honest,
• 0:23
  we
• 0:23
  kind
• 0:23
  of
• 0:23
  wanna
• 0:23
  get
• 0:24
  through
• 0:24
  all
• 0:24
  these
• 0:24
  accusations
• 0:25
  that
• 0:26
  job's
• 0:26
  friends
• 0:26
  are
• 0:26
  hurling
• 0:27
  against
• 0:27
  him.
• 0:28
  Initially,
• 0:28
  when
• 0:28
  I
• 0:28
  was
• 0:28
  researching
• 0:29
  the
• 0:29
  Book
• 0:29
  of
• 0:29
  Job,
• 0:30
  I
• 0:30
  was
• 0:30
  sharing
• 0:30
  some
• 0:30
  of
• 0:30
  my
• 0:31
  insights
• 0:31
  with
• 0:31
  my
• 0:31
  aunt
• 0:32
  and
• 0:32
  my
• 0:32
  boss,
• 0:32
  Betsy
• 0:33
  Corning.
• 0:33
  She's
• 0:34
  the
• 0:34
  executive
• 0:34
  director
• 0:34
  of
• 0:35
  Entrusted,
• 0:35
  and
• 0:35
  she
• 0:35
  wrote
• 0:36
  the
• 0:36
  Biblical
• 0:36
  Parenting
• 0:37
  Study
• 0:37
  Entrusted
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  Child's
• 0:38
  heart.
• 0:38
  I
• 0:38
  hope
• 0:38
  you'll
• 0:39
  look
• 0:39
  into
• 0:39
  it
• 0:39
  because
• 0:40
  I've
• 0:40
  never
• 0:40
  seen
• 0:40
  a
• 0:40
  parenting
• 0:41
  study
• 0:41
  that
• 0:42
  is
• 0:42
  so
• 0:42
  biblical
• 0:43
  while
• 0:43
  remaining
• 0:43
  practical.
• 0:44
  Anyway,
• 0:45
  it
• 0:45
  turns
• 0:45
  out
• 0:45
  that
• 0:46
  Betsy
• 0:46
  and
• 0:46
  I
• 0:46
  had
• 0:46
  been
• 0:46
  studying
• 0:47
  job
• 0:47
  at
• 0:47
  the
• 0:47
  same
• 0:47
  time,
• 0:48
  and
• 0:48
  she
• 0:48
  said
• 0:48
  to
• 0:48
  me,
• 0:49
  you
• 0:49
  know
• 0:49
  what
• 0:50
  my
• 0:50
  biggest
• 0:50
  takeaway
• 0:51
  from
• 0:51
  job
• 0:51
  was?
• 0:52
  I.
• 0:52
  It
• 0:52
  was
• 0:52
  so
• 0:52
  obvious,
• 0:53
  but
• 0:53
  I'd
• 0:53
  never
• 0:53
  thought
• 0:54
  about
• 0:54
  it
• 0:54
  before.
• 0:55
  It's
• 0:55
  that
• 0:55
  Jesus
• 0:56
  was
• 0:56
  the
• 0:56
  perfect
• 0:56
  suffering
• 0:57
  servant.
• 0:58
  Isn't
• 0:58
  that
• 0:58
  a
• 0:58
  mic
• 0:59
  drop
• 0:59
  revelation?
• 1:00
  We
• 1:00
  look
• 1:00
  at
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  Book
• 1:00
  of
• 1:00
  Job
• 1:01
  and
• 1:01
  we
• 1:01
  are
• 1:01
  in
• 1:01
  awe.
• 1:02
  Of
• 1:02
  what
• 1:02
  he
• 1:02
  endured,
• 1:03
  but
• 1:03
  he
• 1:03
  does
• 1:04
  have
• 1:04
  weak
• 1:04
  moments.
• 1:05
  Truly,
• 1:05
  we
• 1:05
  have
• 1:05
  compassion
• 1:06
  on
• 1:06
  him,
• 1:07
  but
• 1:07
  we
• 1:07
  can
• 1:07
  look
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  Jesus.
• 1:08
  Although
• 1:09
  he
• 1:09
  took
• 1:09
  on
• 1:09
  human
• 1:09
  flesh,
• 1:10
  he
• 1:10
  lived
• 1:11
  a
• 1:11
  sinless
• 1:11
  life.
• 1:12
  Today
• 1:13
  I'm
• 1:13
  going
• 1:13
  to
• 1:13
  read
• 1:13
  a
• 1:13
  Passage
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  Job,
• 1:14
  and
• 1:14
  then
• 1:15
  I'll
• 1:15
  look
• 1:15
  at
• 1:15
  a
• 1:15
  few
• 1:15
  scriptures
• 1:16
  that
• 1:16
  point
• 1:16
  us
• 1:17
  to
• 1:17
  the
• 1:17
  perfection
• 1:17
  of
• 1:18
  our
• 1:18
  savior,
• 1:18
  i'll
• 1:19
  close
• 1:19
  by
• 1:19
  sharing
• 1:19
  a
• 1:19
  few
• 1:20
  examples
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  women
• 1:20
  that
• 1:21
  astound
• 1:21
  me
• 1:21
  with
• 1:21
  their
• 1:21
  faith,
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  then
• 1:22
  I'll
• 1:22
  pray
• 1:22
  over
• 1:23
  you.
• 1:23
  We
• 1:24
  read
• 1:24
  Job's
• 1:24
  sixth
• 1:25
  speech
• 1:26
  in
• 1:26
  chapter
• 1:26
  19,
• 1:27
  and
• 1:27
  it's
• 1:27
  full
• 1:27
  of
• 1:27
  despair.
• 1:28
  Then
• 1:28
  Job
• 1:29
  answered
• 1:29
  and
• 1:29
  said,
• 1:30
  how
• 1:30
  long
• 1:30
  will
• 1:30
  you
• 1:31
  torment
• 1:31
  me
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  break
• 1:32
  me
• 1:32
  in
• 1:32
  pieces
• 1:33
  with
• 1:33
  words?
• 1:34
  These
• 1:34
  10
• 1:35
  times
• 1:35
  you
• 1:35
  have
• 1:35
  cast
• 1:36
  reproach
• 1:36
  upon
• 1:36
  me.
• 1:37
  Are
• 1:37
  you
• 1:37
  not
• 1:38
  ashamed
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  wrong
• 1:38
  me?
• 1:39
  And
• 1:39
  even
• 1:40
  if
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  be
• 1:40
  true
• 1:40
  that
• 1:41
  I
• 1:41
  have
• 1:41
  aired.
• 1:41
  My
• 1:42
  error
• 1:42
  remains
• 1:42
  with
• 1:43
  myself.
• 1:43
  If
• 1:44
  indeed
• 1:44
  you
• 1:44
  magnify
• 1:45
  yourselves
• 1:45
  against
• 1:46
  me
• 1:46
  and
• 1:46
  make
• 1:47
  my
• 1:47
  disgrace
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  argument
• 1:48
  against
• 1:48
  me,
• 1:49
  then
• 1:49
  know
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  God
• 1:50
  has
• 1:50
  put
• 1:50
  me
• 1:51
  in
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  wrong
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  closed
• 1:52
  his
• 1:52
  net
• 1:52
  about
• 1:52
  me.
• 1:53
  Behold,
• 1:54
  I
• 1:54
  cry
• 1:54
  out
• 1:54
  violence,
• 1:55
  but
• 1:55
  I
• 1:55
  am
• 1:55
  not
• 1:56
  answered.
• 1:56
  I
• 1:56
  call
• 1:57
  for
• 1:57
  help,
• 1:57
  but
• 1:57
  there
• 1:57
  is
• 1:57
  no
• 1:58
  justice.
• 1:59
  he
• 1:59
  has
• 1:59
  walled
• 1:59
  up
• 1:59
  my
• 1:59
  way
• 2:00
  so
• 2:00
  that
• 2:00
  I
• 2:00
  cannot
• 2:01
  pass,
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  he
• 2:02
  has
• 2:02
  set
• 2:02
  darkness
• 2:03
  upon
• 2:03
  my
• 2:03
  paths.
• 2:04
  He
• 2:04
  has
• 2:04
  stripped
• 2:05
  me
• 2:05
  from
• 2:05
  my
• 2:05
  glory
• 2:06
  and
• 2:06
  taken
• 2:06
  the
• 2:07
  crown
• 2:07
  from
• 2:07
  my
• 2:07
  head.
• 2:08
  He
• 2:08
  breaks
• 2:08
  me
• 2:08
  down
• 2:09
  on
• 2:09
  every
• 2:09
  side
• 2:10
  and
• 2:10
  I
• 2:10
  am
• 2:10
  gone
• 2:10
  and
• 2:11
  my
• 2:11
  hope
• 2:11
  he
• 2:11
  has
• 2:12
  pulled
• 2:12
  up
• 2:12
  like
• 2:12
  a
• 2:12
  tree.
• 2:13
  He
• 2:13
  has
• 2:14
  kindled
• 2:14
  his
• 2:14
  wrath
• 2:14
  against
• 2:15
  me
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  counts
• 2:16
  me
• 2:16
  as
• 2:16
  his
• 2:16
  adversary.
• 2:17
  His
• 2:18
  troops
• 2:18
  come
• 2:18
  on
• 2:18
  together,
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  they
• 2:19
  cast
• 2:20
  up
• 2:20
  their
• 2:20
  sea
• 2:21
  ramp
• 2:21
  against
• 2:21
  me
• 2:22
  and
• 2:22
  en
• 2:22
  camp
• 2:22
  around
• 2:23
  my
• 2:23
  tent.
• 2:23
  He
• 2:24
  has
• 2:24
  put
• 2:24
  my
• 2:24
  brothers
• 2:24
  far
• 2:25
  from
• 2:25
  me,
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  those
• 2:26
  who
• 2:26
  knew
• 2:26
  me
• 2:26
  are
• 2:26
  wholly
• 2:27
  estranged
• 2:27
  from
• 2:27
  me.
• 2:28
  My
• 2:28
  relatives
• 2:29
  have
• 2:29
  failed
• 2:29
  me.
• 2:30
  My
• 2:30
  close
• 2:30
  friends
• 2:30
  have
• 2:31
  forgotten
• 2:31
  me.
• 2:32
  The
• 2:32
  guests
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  my
• 2:32
  house
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  my
• 2:33
  maid
• 2:33
  servants
• 2:34
  count
• 2:34
  me
• 2:34
  as
• 2:34
  a
• 2:34
  stranger.
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  have
• 2:35
  become
• 2:36
  a
• 2:36
  foreigner
• 2:36
  in
• 2:36
  their
• 2:37
  eyes.
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  call
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  my
• 2:38
  servant,
• 2:38
  but
• 2:38
  he
• 2:39
  gives
• 2:39
  me
• 2:39
  no
• 2:39
  answer.
• 2:40
  I
• 2:40
  must
• 2:40
  plead
• 2:41
  with
• 2:41
  him
• 2:41
  for
• 2:41
  my
• 2:41
  mouth
• 2:42
  for
• 2:42
  mercy.
• 2:43
  My
• 2:43
  breath
• 2:43
  is
• 2:44
  strange
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  my
• 2:44
  wife
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  am
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  stench
• 2:46
  to
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  children
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  my
• 2:47
  own
• 2:47
  mother.
• 2:48
  Even
• 2:48
  young
• 2:49
  children
• 2:49
  despise
• 2:50
  me
• 2:50
  when
• 2:50
  I
• 2:50
  rise.
• 2:51
  They
• 2:51
  talk
• 2:51
  against
• 2:52
  me.
• 2:52
  All
• 2:52
  my
• 2:53
  intimate
• 2:53
  friends,
• 2:53
  AB
• 2:53
  whore
• 2:54
  me
• 2:54
  and
• 2:54
  those
• 2:54
  whom
• 2:55
  I
• 2:55
  loved
• 2:55
  have
• 2:55
  turned
• 2:55
  against
• 2:56
  me.
• 2:56
  My
• 2:57
  bones
• 2:57
  stick
• 2:57
  to
• 2:57
  my
• 2:58
  skin
• 2:58
  and
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  my
• 2:59
  flesh,
• 2:59
  and
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  have
• 3:00
  escaped
• 3:00
  by
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  skin
• 3:01
  of
• 3:01
  my
• 3:01
  teeth.
• 3:02
  Have
• 3:02
  mercy
• 3:03
  on
• 3:03
  me.
• 3:03
  Have
• 3:03
  mercy
• 3:04
  on
• 3:04
  me.
• 3:04
  Oh,
• 3:05
  you
• 3:05
  my
• 3:05
  friends.
• 3:06
  For
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  hand
• 3:06
  of
• 3:06
  God
• 3:07
  has
• 3:07
  touched
• 3:07
  me.
• 3:08
  Why
• 3:08
  do
• 3:08
  you
• 3:08
  like
• 3:09
  God?
• 3:09
  Pursue
• 3:10
  me.
• 3:10
  Why
• 3:10
  are
• 3:10
  you
• 3:11
  not
• 3:11
  satisfied
• 3:11
  with
• 3:12
  my
• 3:12
  flesh?
• 3:13
  Oh,
• 3:13
  that
• 3:13
  my
• 3:13
  words
• 3:13
  were
• 3:14
  written.
• 3:14
  Oh,
• 3:15
  that
• 3:15
  they
• 3:15
  were
• 3:15
  inscribed
• 3:16
  in
• 3:16
  a
• 3:16
  book.
• 3:16
  Oh,
• 3:17
  that
• 3:17
  with
• 3:17
  an
• 3:17
  iron
• 3:17
  pen
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  lead.
• 3:18
  They
• 3:18
  were
• 3:18
  engraved
• 3:19
  in
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  rock
• 3:19
  forever.
• 3:20
  For
• 3:21
  I
• 3:21
  know
• 3:21
  that
• 3:22
  my
• 3:22
  redeemer
• 3:22
  lives,
• 3:23
  and
• 3:23
  at
• 3:23
  last
• 3:24
  he
• 3:24
  will
• 3:24
  stand
• 3:25
  upon
• 3:25
  the
• 3:25
  earth.
• 3:26
  And
• 3:26
  after
• 3:26
  my
• 3:27
  skin
• 3:27
  has
• 3:27
  thus
• 3:28
  been
• 3:28
  destroyed
• 3:29
  yet
• 3:29
  in
• 3:29
  my
• 3:29
  flesh,
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  shall
• 3:30
  see
• 3:30
  God.
• 3:31
  This
• 3:31
  key
• 3:32
  verse
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  for,
• 3:33
  I
• 3:33
  know
• 3:33
  that
• 3:33
  my
• 3:34
  redeemer
• 3:34
  lives,
• 3:34
  and
• 3:35
  at
• 3:35
  last
• 3:35
  he
• 3:35
  will
• 3:35
  stand
• 3:36
  upon
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  earth.
• 3:37
  There
• 3:37
  is
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  lot
• 3:37
  of
• 3:37
  debate
• 3:38
  over
• 3:38
  this,
• 3:38
  but
• 3:38
  let
• 3:38
  me
• 3:39
  explain
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  you
• 3:39
  why
• 3:40
  I
• 3:40
  believe
• 3:40
  that
• 3:41
  God
• 3:41
  had
• 3:41
  given
• 3:41
  Job
• 3:42
  an
• 3:42
  understanding
• 3:42
  about
• 3:42
  the
• 3:43
  Messiah,
• 3:43
  and
• 3:43
  that's
• 3:44
  what
• 3:44
  he's
• 3:44
  referring
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  here.
• 3:45
  Just
• 3:45
  as
• 3:46
  we
• 3:46
  read
• 3:46
  in
• 3:46
  Genesis
• 3:46
  three
• 3:47
  that
• 3:47
  God
• 3:47
  had
• 3:47
  already
• 3:47
  promised
• 3:48
  he
• 3:48
  was
• 3:49
  going
• 3:49
  to
• 3:49
  send
• 3:49
  someone
• 3:49
  to
• 3:50
  save
• 3:50
  people
• 3:50
  from
• 3:50
  their
• 3:50
  sin.
• 3:51
  We
• 3:51
  get
• 3:51
  hints
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  it
• 3:52
  throughout
• 3:52
  scripture.
• 3:53
  First,
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  meaning
• 3:54
  of
• 3:55
  this
• 3:55
  word
• 3:55
  redeemer
• 3:56
  seems
• 3:56
  to
• 3:56
  be
• 3:56
  messianic
• 3:57
  in
• 3:57
  nature
• 3:58
  in
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  cultures.
• 3:58
  Back
• 3:59
  then,
• 3:59
  if
• 3:59
  your
• 3:59
  property
• 4:00
  was
• 4:00
  in
• 4:00
  danger
• 4:00
  of
• 4:00
  being
• 4:01
  lost
• 4:01
  or
• 4:02
  if
• 4:02
  someone
• 4:02
  needed
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  avenge
• 4:03
  a
• 4:03
  relative,
• 4:04
  they
• 4:04
  look
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  redeemer
• 4:05
  in
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  family.
• 4:06
  Next.
• 4:07
  We
• 4:07
  know
• 4:07
  that
• 4:07
  this
• 4:07
  is
• 4:07
  a
• 4:08
  living
• 4:08
  person.
• 4:09
  He
• 4:09
  says,
• 4:09
  I
• 4:10
  know
• 4:10
  my
• 4:10
  redeemer
• 4:10
  lives.
• 4:11
  And
• 4:11
  then
• 4:12
  he
• 4:12
  tells
• 4:12
  us
• 4:12
  he
• 4:12
  knows
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  redeemer
• 4:13
  will
• 4:14
  stand
• 4:14
  on
• 4:14
  the
• 4:14
  earth,
• 4:15
  but
• 4:15
  when
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  he
• 4:16
  will
• 4:16
  appear
• 4:17
  at
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  last,
• 4:18
  which
• 4:18
  tells
• 4:18
  us
• 4:19
  Job
• 4:19
  knew
• 4:19
  he'd
• 4:20
  see
• 4:20
  him
• 4:20
  in
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  last
• 4:21
  days.
• 4:21
  And
• 4:21
  finally
• 4:22
  when
• 4:22
  he
• 4:22
  sees
• 4:22
  the
• 4:23
  redeemer,
• 4:23
  he
• 4:23
  knows
• 4:24
  he
• 4:24
  will
• 4:24
  have
• 4:24
  seen
• 4:25
  God.
• 4:25
  Though
• 4:25
  job
• 4:26
  waivers.
• 4:26
  In
• 4:26
  his
• 4:26
  speeches,
• 4:27
  he
• 4:27
  does
• 4:27
  have
• 4:28
  several
• 4:28
  statements
• 4:29
  that
• 4:29
  tell
• 4:29
  us
• 4:29
  he
• 4:29
  really
• 4:30
  did
• 4:30
  have
• 4:30
  hope
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  eternity
• 4:31
  here.
• 4:32
  In
• 4:32
  the
• 4:32
  midst
• 4:32
  of
• 4:32
  an
• 4:33
  otherwise
• 4:33
  discouraging
• 4:34
  chapter,
• 4:34
  joe
• 4:35
  reaffirms
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  there
• 4:36
  is
• 4:36
  eternal
• 4:37
  hope.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:37
  this
• 4:37
  points
• 4:38
  me
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  perfect
• 4:39
  suffering
• 4:39
  servant
• 4:40
  Jesus
• 4:40
  Christ.
• 4:41
  On
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  cross,
• 4:42
  Jesus
• 4:42
  began
• 4:42
  to
• 4:43
  quote
• 4:43
  Psalm
• 4:43
  22.
• 4:44
  Many
• 4:44
  of
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  people
• 4:45
  standing
• 4:45
  by
• 4:46
  and
• 4:46
  even
• 4:46
  cheering
• 4:46
  for
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  crucifixion
• 4:48
  would've
• 4:48
  had
• 4:48
  this
• 4:48
  portion
• 4:49
  of
• 4:49
  scripture
• 4:49
  memorized.
• 4:50
  And
• 4:50
  as
• 4:50
  Jesus
• 4:51
  began
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  quote
• 4:51
  it,
• 4:52
  they
• 4:52
  had
• 4:52
  an
• 4:52
  opportunity
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  hear
• 4:53
  all
• 4:53
  of
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  Messianic
• 4:54
  prophecies
• 4:55
  fulfilled
• 4:56
  right
• 4:56
  before
• 4:56
  their
• 4:56
  eyes.
• 4:57
  This
• 4:57
  Psalm
• 4:57
  begins,
• 4:58
  my
• 4:58
  God,
• 4:59
  my
• 4:59
  God,
• 4:59
  why
• 5:00
  have
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  forsaken
• 5:00
  me?
• 5:01
  Why
• 5:01
  are
• 5:01
  you
• 5:02
  so
• 5:02
  far
• 5:02
  from
• 5:02
  saving
• 5:03
  me
• 5:03
  from
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  words
• 5:03
  of
• 5:04
  my
• 5:04
  groaning?
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  cry
• 5:05
  by
• 5:05
  day,
• 5:05
  but
• 5:05
  you
• 5:06
  do
• 5:06
  not
• 5:06
  answer.
• 5:06
  And
• 5:07
  by
• 5:07
  night,
• 5:07
  but
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  find
• 5:08
  no
• 5:08
  rest.
• 5:08
  Yet
• 5:09
  you
• 5:09
  are
• 5:09
  holy
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  on
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  praises
• 5:11
  of
• 5:11
  Israel
• 5:12
  and
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  are
• 5:13
  father's
• 5:13
  trusted.
• 5:14
  They
• 5:14
  trusted
• 5:14
  and
• 5:15
  you
• 5:15
  delivered
• 5:15
  them
• 5:15
  to
• 5:15
  you.
• 5:16
  They
• 5:16
  cried
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  were
• 5:17
  rescued
• 5:18
  and
• 5:18
  you,
• 5:18
  they
• 5:18
  trusted,
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  were
• 5:19
  not
• 5:19
  put
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  shame,
• 5:20
  but
• 5:20
  I
• 5:21
  am
• 5:21
  a
• 5:21
  worm
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  not
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  man
• 5:22
  scorned
• 5:23
  by
• 5:23
  mankind
• 5:24
  and
• 5:24
  despised
• 5:24
  by
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  people
• 5:25
  all
• 5:26
  who
• 5:26
  see
• 5:26
  me
• 5:26
  mock
• 5:27
  me.
• 5:27
  They
• 5:27
  make
• 5:27
  mouth
• 5:28
  at
• 5:28
  me.
• 5:29
  They
• 5:29
  wag
• 5:29
  their
• 5:29
  heads,
• 5:30
  he
• 5:30
  trusts
• 5:30
  in
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  Lord.
• 5:31
  Let
• 5:31
  him
• 5:31
  deliver
• 5:32
  him.
• 5:32
  Let
• 5:33
  him
• 5:33
  rescue
• 5:33
  him,
• 5:33
  for
• 5:33
  he
• 5:34
  delights
• 5:34
  in
• 5:34
  him.
• 5:35
  Yet
• 5:35
  you
• 5:35
  are
• 5:35
  he
• 5:36
  who
• 5:36
  took
• 5:36
  me
• 5:36
  from
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  womb.
• 5:37
  On
• 5:37
  you
• 5:38
  was
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  cast
• 5:38
  for
• 5:38
  my
• 5:39
  birth
• 5:39
  and
• 5:39
  from
• 5:40
  my
• 5:40
  mother's
• 5:40
  womb.
• 5:41
  You
• 5:41
  have
• 5:41
  been,
• 5:41
  my
• 5:41
  God,
• 5:42
  be
• 5:42
  not
• 5:42
  far
• 5:43
  from
• 5:43
  me,
• 5:43
  for
• 5:44
  trouble
• 5:44
  is
• 5:44
  near
• 5:44
  and
• 5:44
  there
• 5:45
  is
• 5:45
  none
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  help.
• 5:46
  He
• 5:46
  says,
• 5:47
  that
• 5:47
  they
• 5:47
  encircle
• 5:48
  him
• 5:48
  like
• 5:48
  wild
• 5:48
  animals,
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  then
• 5:50
  I
• 5:50
  am
• 5:50
  poured
• 5:51
  out
• 5:51
  like
• 5:51
  water
• 5:51
  and
• 5:52
  all
• 5:52
  my
• 5:52
  bones
• 5:52
  are
• 5:52
  out
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  joint.
• 5:53
  My
• 5:54
  heart
• 5:54
  is
• 5:54
  like
• 5:54
  wax.
• 5:55
  My
• 5:55
  strength
• 5:56
  is
• 5:56
  dried
• 5:56
  up
• 5:57
  and
• 5:57
  my
• 5:57
  tongue
• 5:57
  sticks
• 5:58
  to
• 5:58
  my
• 5:58
  jaws.
• 5:59
  They
• 5:59
  have
• 5:59
  pierced
• 6:00
  my
• 6:00
  hands
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  my
• 6:00
  feet.
• 6:01
  I
• 6:01
  can
• 6:01
  count
• 6:02
  all
• 6:02
  my
• 6:02
  bones.
• 6:03
  They
• 6:03
  stare
• 6:03
  and
• 6:04
  gloat
• 6:04
  over
• 6:04
  me.
• 6:04
  They
• 6:04
  divide
• 6:05
  my
• 6:05
  gum
• 6:05
  rids
• 6:06
  among
• 6:06
  them,
• 6:06
  and

  for
• 6:07
  my
• 6:07
  clothing
• 6:07
  cast
• 6:07
  lots.
• 6:08
  But
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  oh
• 6:09
  Lord.
• 6:09
  Do
• 6:10
  not
• 6:10
  be

  far

  off.
• 6:11
  Oh,
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  my

  help.
• 6:12
  Come
• 6:12
  quickly
• 6:13
  to

  my

  aid,

  for
• 6:24
  this
• 6:24
  is
• 6:24
  a
• 6:25
  gracious
• 6:25
  thing,
• 6:26
  when
• 6:26
  mindful
• 6:26
  of
• 6:27
  God,
• 6:27
  one
• 6:28
  endures
• 6:28
  sorrows
• 6:28
  while
• 6:29
  suffering
• 6:29
  unjustly
• 6:30
  but
• 6:30
  if
• 6:30
  when
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  do
• 6:31
  good
• 6:31
  and
• 6:32
  suffer
• 6:32
  for
• 6:32
  it,
• 6:32
  you
• 6:32
  endure.
• 6:33
  This
• 6:33
  is
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  gracious
• 6:34
  thing
• 6:34
  in
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  sight
• 6:35
  of
• 6:35
  God.
• 6:36
  For
• 6:36
  to
• 6:36
  this
• 6:36
  you
• 6:36
  have
• 6:36
  been
• 6:37
  called
• 6:37
  because
• 6:38
  Christ
• 6:38
  also
• 6:38
  suffered
• 6:39
  for
• 6:39
  you,
• 6:39
  leaving
• 6:40
  you
• 6:40
  an
• 6:40
  example
• 6:41
  so
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  you
• 6:41
  might
• 6:42
  follow
• 6:42
  in
• 6:42
  his
• 6:42
  steps.
• 6:43
  He
• 6:43
  committed
• 6:44
  no
• 6:44
  sin.
• 6:44
  Neither
• 6:45
  was
• 6:45
  deceit
• 6:45
  found
• 6:46
  in
• 6:46
  his
• 6:46
  mouth.
• 6:46
  When
• 6:47
  he
• 6:47
  was
• 6:47
  reviled.
• 6:48
  He
• 6:48
  did
• 6:48
  not
• 6:48
  revile
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  return
• 6:49
  when
• 6:49
  he
• 6:50
  suffered.
• 6:50
  He
• 6:51
  did
• 6:51
  not
• 6:51
  threaten,
• 6:52
  but
• 6:52
  continued
• 6:52
  entrusting
• 6:53
  himself
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  him
• 6:54
  who
• 6:54
  judges
• 6:55
  justly.
• 6:56
  But
• 6:56
  why
• 6:56
  was
• 6:56
  Jesus
• 6:57
  able
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  endure
• 6:57
  so
• 6:58
  well?
• 6:58
  Scripture
• 6:59
  tells
• 6:59
  us
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  too.
• 7:00
  Hebrews
• 7:00
  12
• 7:00
  two
• 7:01
  look
• 7:01
  to
• 7:01
  Jesus,
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  founder
• 7:03
  and
• 7:03
  perfecter
• 7:03
  of
• 7:03
  our
• 7:04
  faith,
• 7:04
  who
• 7:04
  for
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  joy
• 7:05
  that
• 7:05
  was
• 7:05
  set
• 7:05
  before
• 7:06
  him,
• 7:06
  endured
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  cross,
• 7:07
  despising
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  shame,
• 7:09
  and
• 7:09
  is
• 7:09
  seated
• 7:09
  at
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  right
• 7:10
  hand
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  throne
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  God.
• 7:11
  Just
• 7:12
  like
• 7:12
  Job,
• 7:12
  we
• 7:12
  can
• 7:12
  say,
• 7:13
  I
• 7:13
  know
• 7:14
  my
• 7:14
  redeemer
• 7:14
  lives,
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  at
• 7:15
  last
• 7:16
  he
• 7:16
  will
• 7:17
  stand
• 7:17
  upon
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  earth.
• 7:18
  As
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  think
• 7:19
  about
• 7:19
  suffering
• 7:19
  well
• 7:20
  and
• 7:20
  in
• 7:20
  light
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  eternity,
• 7:21
  there
• 7:21
  are
• 7:21
  three
• 7:22
  friends
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  have
• 7:22
  the
• 7:23
  utmost
• 7:23
  respect
• 7:23
  for.
• 7:24
  All
• 7:24
  three
• 7:25
  have
• 7:25
  recently
• 7:25
  lost
• 7:26
  sons,
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  all
• 7:27
  three
• 7:27
  continue
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  serve
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  Lord
• 7:28
  mightily,
• 7:29
  although
• 7:29
  none
• 7:29
  of
• 7:30
  them
• 7:30
  understand
• 7:30
  why
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  Lord
• 7:31
  has
• 7:31
  allowed
• 7:32
  this
• 7:32
  unbearable
• 7:32
  pain.
• 7:33
  All
• 7:33
  of
• 7:34
  them
• 7:34
  have
• 7:34
  chosen
• 7:34
  to
• 7:35
  stay
• 7:35
  steadfast
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  their
• 7:36
  savior.
• 7:36
  One
• 7:37
  helps
• 7:37
  lead
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  prayer
• 7:38
  team
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  my
• 7:38
  homeschool
• 7:39
  group
• 7:39
  every
• 7:40
  week.
• 7:40
  She
• 7:40
  faithfully
• 7:41
  prays
• 7:41
  for
• 7:41
  every
• 7:42
  family
• 7:42
  by
• 7:42
  name.
• 7:43
  She
• 7:43
  never
• 7:43
  minimizes
• 7:44
  another
• 7:44
  person's
• 7:45
  struggle
• 7:45
  or
• 7:45
  elevates
• 7:46
  her
• 7:46
  own
• 7:46
  pain,
• 7:46
  but
• 7:47
  she
• 7:47
  enters
• 7:47
  in
• 7:47
  with
• 7:47
  all.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:48
  she
• 7:48
  chooses
• 7:49
  Christ
• 7:49
  even
• 7:50
  when
• 7:50
  he
• 7:50
  asks
• 7:50
  more
• 7:50
  of
• 7:51
  her
• 7:51
  than
• 7:51
  she
• 7:51
  ever
• 7:52
  thought
• 7:52
  she
• 7:52
  had
• 7:52
  to
• 7:52
  give.
• 7:53
  Another
• 7:53
  is
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  pastor's
• 7:54
  wife
• 7:55
  who
• 7:55
  leads
• 7:55
  worship
• 7:55
  at
• 7:56
  her
• 7:56
  church
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  though
• 7:57
  she'll
• 7:57
  honestly
• 7:57
  admit
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  there
• 7:58
  are
• 7:58
  some
• 7:58
  songs
• 7:59
  that
• 7:59
  are
• 7:59
  too
• 7:59
  difficult
• 8:00
  to
• 8:00
  sing,
• 8:00
  yet
• 8:01
  she
• 8:01
  can
• 8:01
  continues
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  lead
• 8:02
  her
• 8:02
  congregation
• 8:03
  and
• 8:03
  honesty
• 8:03
  and
• 8:04
  praise.
• 8:04
  Another,
• 8:05
  barely
• 8:05
  took
• 8:06
  a
• 8:06
  pause
• 8:06
  after
• 8:06
  her
• 8:07
  son's
• 8:07
  passing
• 8:08
  and
• 8:08
  has
• 8:08
  led
• 8:08
  Entrusted
• 8:09
  with
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  child's
• 8:09
  heart
• 8:09
  groups
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  minister
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  other
• 8:11
  parents.
• 8:11
  She
• 8:12
  also
• 8:12
  teaches
• 8:12
  preschool
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  constantly
• 8:14
  looks
• 8:14
  for
• 8:14
  ways
• 8:14
  to
• 8:14
  encourage
• 8:15
  and
• 8:15
  bless
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  kids
• 8:16
  and
• 8:16
  parents
• 8:17
  around
• 8:17
  her.
• 8:18
  None
• 8:18
  of
• 8:18
  us
• 8:18
  wants
• 8:18
  to
• 8:19
  experience
• 8:19
  what
• 8:19
  they
• 8:19
  have,
• 8:20
  but
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  do
• 8:20
  find
• 8:21
  comfort
• 8:21
  that
• 8:21
  as
• 8:22
  they've
• 8:22
  pressed
• 8:22
  into
• 8:22
  Jesus,
• 8:23
  he
• 8:24
  has
• 8:24
  helped
• 8:24
  them
• 8:24
  stand
• 8:24
  for
• 8:24
  him.
• 8:25
  I
• 8:25
  know
• 8:26
  some
• 8:26
  of
• 8:26
  these
• 8:26
  lessons
• 8:27
  feel
• 8:27
  very
• 8:27
  heavy
• 8:27
  with
• 8:28
  Job
• 8:28
  but
• 8:28
  I
• 8:28
  hope
• 8:29
  we're
• 8:29
  pointed
• 8:29
  to
• 8:29
  persevering
• 8:30
  well
• 8:30
  for
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  Lord.
• 8:31
  What
• 8:31
  is
• 8:32
  the
• 8:32
  Lord
• 8:32
  called
• 8:32
  you
• 8:32
  to
• 8:33
  in
• 8:33
  this
• 8:33
  season?
• 8:34
  Are
• 8:34
  you
• 8:34
  persevering
• 8:35
  in
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  mundane
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  feeling
• 8:36
  unseen,?
• 8:37
  Are
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  treading
• 8:37
  waters
• 8:38
  wherever
• 8:39
  you're
• 8:39
  at,
• 8:40
  keep
• 8:40
  your
• 8:40
  eyes
• 8:40
  on
• 8:40
  Jesus.
• 8:41
  He
• 8:41
  lives
• 8:42
  and
• 8:42
  he
• 8:42
  sees
• 8:43
  you.
• 8:44
  Lord
• 8:44
  Jesus,
• 8:44
  as
• 8:44
  we
• 8:45
  ponder
• 8:45
  this
• 8:45
  difficult
• 8:46
  topic
• 8:46
  of
• 8:46
  suffering.
• 8:47
  Once
• 8:47
  again,
• 8:47
  we
• 8:47
  thank
• 8:48
  you
• 8:48
  that
• 8:48
  you
• 8:48
  are
• 8:48
  our
• 8:49
  perfect
• 8:49
  example
• 8:50
  on
• 8:50
  this
• 8:50
  earth,
• 8:50
  that
• 8:51
  in
• 8:51
  every
• 8:51
  situation
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  were
• 8:52
  without
• 8:53
  sin
• 8:53
  and
• 8:54
  you
• 8:54
  understand
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  difficulties
• 8:55
  we
• 8:55
  face.
• 8:56
  Thank
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  that
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  came
• 8:57
  to
• 8:57
  dwell
• 8:57
  with
• 8:58
  us
• 8:58
  and
• 8:58
  took
• 8:58
  on
• 8:58
  flesh.
• 8:59
  So
• 8:59
  that
• 8:59
  when
• 8:59
  we
• 9:00
  are
• 9:00
  struggling
• 9:00
  and
• 9:00
  weak,
• 9:01
  we
• 9:01
  know
• 9:01
  that
• 9:01
  we
• 9:01
  have
• 9:02
  a
• 9:02
  high
• 9:02
  priest
• 9:02
  who
• 9:02
  sympathizes
• 9:03
  with
• 9:03
  our
• 9:03
  weaknesses,
• 9:05
  help
• 9:05
  us
• 9:05
  to
• 9:05
  not
• 9:05
  promise
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  our
• 9:06
  children
• 9:06
  that
• 9:07
  when
• 9:07
  we
• 9:07
  obey,
• 9:08
  everything
• 9:08
  will
• 9:08
  go
• 9:08
  right
• 9:09
  on
• 9:09
  this
• 9:09
  earth,
• 9:10
  but
• 9:10
  may
• 9:10
  we
• 9:10
  display
• 9:10
  for
• 9:11
  them
• 9:11
  and
• 9:11
  embrace
• 9:12
  in
• 9:12
  our
• 9:12
  own
• 9:12
  lives
• 9:13
  that
• 9:13
  walking
• 9:13
  with
• 9:13
  you
• 9:14
  and
• 9:14
  having
• 9:14
  your
• 9:15
  presence
• 9:15
  is
• 9:15
  the
• 9:15
  greatest
• 9:16
  gift
• 9:16
  we
• 9:16
  could
• 9:16
  imagine.
• 9:17
  And
• 9:17
  if
• 9:18
  there's
• 9:18
  anyone
• 9:18
  that
• 9:18
  hasn't
• 9:19
  made
• 9:19
  this
• 9:19
  commitment,
• 9:20
  pray
• 9:20
  with
• 9:21
  me
• 9:21
  right
• 9:21
  now,
• 9:21
  Lord
• 9:22
  Jesus,
• 9:22
  I
• 9:22
  know
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  am
• 9:23
  a
• 9:23
  sinner.
• 9:24
  I
• 9:24
  know
• 9:24
  there
• 9:24
  is
• 9:24
  nothing
• 9:25
  that
• 9:25
  I
• 9:25
  can
• 9:25
  do
• 9:26
  to
• 9:26
  solve
• 9:26
  this
• 9:27
  problem.
• 9:27
  I
• 9:27
  thank
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  that
• 9:28
  you
• 9:28
  died
• 9:28
  on
• 9:28
  the
• 9:29
  cross
• 9:29
  defeating
• 9:30
  sin
• 9:30
  and
• 9:30
  restoring
• 9:31
  my
• 9:31
  relationship
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  father.
• 9:33
  I
• 9:33
  embrace
• 9:33
  your
• 9:34
  sacrifice
• 9:34
  on
• 9:34
  my
• 9:34
  behalf,
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  choose
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  live
• 9:36
  for
• 9:36
  you.
• 9:37
  It's
• 9:37
  in
• 9:38
  your
• 9:38
  mighty
• 9:38
  name,
• 9:38
  we
• 9:38
  pray
• 9:39
  Jesus.
• 9:39
  Amen.
