Psalm 108 - When God Hasn't Come Through Yet · Tabernacle Talk - A Bible Study Podcast with Pastor Bryon Self

• 0:00
  Welcome to Tabernacle Talk. Tabernacle Talk is a Bible study
• 0:03
  podcast brought from Tabernacle Baptist Church in Essex, MD.
• 0:07
  I'm your host, Brian Self. We hope this podcast encourages
• 0:10
  you to know Christ, grow in his word, and show his love to
• 0:14
  others. Let's dive right in.
• 0:15
  Welcome back to Tabernacle Talk. Hope that you're having a good
• 0:17
  day. Today we are in Psalm one O 8.
• 0:21
  Psalm one O 8 And this is a Psalm of David and this Psalm,
• 0:26
  it is a very triumphant for the most part, but there's something
• 0:30
  that David recognizes here and really you don't see it till the
• 0:33
  end of the Psalm. So I'm putting the cart before
• 0:36
  the horse a little bit here. But that's right.
• 0:38
  What David realizes in this Psalm is that God does not do
• 0:44
  everything that we want on our timetable.
• 0:48
  Sometimes he does what he wants in his own time.
• 0:51
  And as a result of that, there will be portions of our life
• 0:56
  where we are fearful and we go, God, here's what you've
• 0:59
  promised, but here's what I'm experiencing.
• 1:02
  And so in between the promise and the experience, how do we
• 1:07
  react? How do we what, what do we
• 1:11
  believe in those moments when we go God, I'm not right now
• 1:15
  experiencing what you have promised.
• 1:19
  And so I believe your heart will be encouraged through this time
• 1:22
  in the word. I know even reading through the
• 1:25
  Psalm a little bit, my heart was even encouraged.
• 1:27
  But verse #1 of Psalm one O 8 says this.
• 1:31
  My heart is confident. God, I will sing, I will sing
• 1:35
  praises with the whole of my being.
• 1:38
  Wake up harp and liar, I will wake up the dawn.
• 1:42
  I will praise you, Yahweh among the peoples.
• 1:45
  I will sing praises to you among the nations.
• 1:48
  For your faithful love is higher than the heavens, and your
• 1:51
  faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
• 1:54
  God, be exalted above the heavens, and let your glory be
• 1:58
  over the whole earth. Save with your right hand and
• 2:02
  answer me so that those you love may be rescued.
• 2:07
  God has spoken in his sanctuary. I will celebrate.
• 2:11
  I will divide up Shechem. I will apportion the valley of
• 2:15
  Saketh. Gilead is mine, Manasseh is
• 2:18
  mine, and Ephraim is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
• 2:23
  Moab is my wash basin. I'll throw my sandal on Edom.
• 2:27
  I shout and triumph over Felicia.
• 2:31
  Who will bring me to the fortified city?
• 2:33
  Who will lead me to Edom? God, haven't you rejected us?
• 2:40
  God, you do not March out with our armies.
• 2:43
  Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless.
• 2:48
  With God, we will perform valiantly.
• 2:51
  He will trample our foes. So here, even as David is going
• 2:57
  through, there's like portions of it where I could imagine as
• 3:02
  David is writing this Psalm, he's like, all right, I need at
• 3:06
  least three people to sing the song.
• 3:10
  And so it'll kind of be like a Broadway musical.
• 3:13
  And, you know, person one will be like David, person number 2
• 3:18
  will be God, and then like person #3 will be, you know,
• 3:22
  representative of Israel. And so with these three people
• 3:26
  that are speaking, or in this case singing, we will
• 3:30
  communicate the truth of this. And so it's a it's a really
• 3:33
  great piece of literature, like poetic literature as we look at
• 3:37
  it. But let's walk through first
• 3:39
  with verses one through 6 in the section where David is singing
• 3:45
  and the hope that he has even in the middle of I have not yet
• 3:51
  seen God do what he's promised that he will do.
• 3:55
  So he says in verse one, my heart is confident God, I will
• 4:00
  sing, I will sing praises. He says my my heart, it's
• 4:05
  standing up like I am, I am proud, I'm excited.
• 4:08
  I am definitely sure that you are going to act.
• 4:12
  I love. In Hebrews Chapter 11, we're
• 4:14
  told that the one that comes to God must believe that he exists
• 4:18
  and that he rewards the ones who diligently seek him.
• 4:23
  So first posture when you are living in between, perhaps you
• 4:28
  don't have the finances to be able to or or you don't have the
• 4:33
  money to be able to meet all of your financial needs for this
• 4:37
  next, you know, month or the next season of life.
• 4:41
  And you're going, OK God, I know that you ask me to pray for my
• 4:45
  daily bread. I know that you have told me
• 4:48
  that you will supply all of my need according to riches and
• 4:52
  glory by Christ Jesus God. I need to see that.
• 4:55
  I need it to be reality. But until God gives you the
• 4:59
  money or until God alleviates some of the financial burden,
• 5:03
  you can still have confidence in God and say, God, I'm standing
• 5:08
  upright in heart because I fully believe you are capable of
• 5:13
  answering my prayer. And so David here he is
• 5:17
  confident, not because God has already worked on his behalf,
• 5:20
  but because he knows who God is. And so he says, God, I fully
• 5:24
  believe that you will come through for me.
• 5:26
  He says, I'll sing, I'll sing praises with the whole of my
• 5:30
  being like my, my glory, the, the thing that I am most proud
• 5:37
  about me. I am going to praise you with
• 5:41
  it, if you will. I'm putting my reputation on the
• 5:44
  line and that people will go man, if God doesn't come
• 5:48
  through, man. David was stupid.
• 5:50
  Like he trusted in Yahweh and Yahweh totally let him down.
• 5:54
  So David says with my whole being, with my glory, with my
• 5:59
  pride, with my reputation, I'm staking it on you.
• 6:03
  Are you willing to look foolish if God doesn't come through?
• 6:09
  I got to tell you, for me, I I'm a little bit of a plotter, a
• 6:12
  planner. I want everything, you know,
• 6:15
  just in easy steps where I can see where the path will go, how
• 6:19
  we'll get there bit by bit, like super, super easily.
• 6:23
  That's how I want to live my life.
• 6:25
  But the truth is I've got to be willing to step out in faith to
• 6:28
  stake my life on the Lord and to say God.
• 6:31
  I might look a little stupid and people might go, hey, you know,
• 6:34
  Brian, yeah, like, maybe he might be bright, but he puts too
• 6:39
  much trust in, like, his whole God thing.
• 6:42
  And I'd much rather that be said then.
• 6:45
  Yeah, he's just the most careful planner in the world.
• 6:48
  And he, you know, doesn't have any, any faith that God can
• 6:52
  work. He just knows how he can crunch
• 6:55
  the numbers. And so Brian has confidence in
• 6:57
  Brian. I want to have confidence in God
• 7:00
  and put my reputation on him. Verse #2 wake up harp and liar.
• 7:05
  I will wake up the dawn. He says I'm waking up some
• 7:07
  instruments and we're going to bring in the sunrise with praise
• 7:10
  to God. Are you eager to begin praising
• 7:14
  the Lord with everything that you have here, David, he can
• 7:17
  play the harp. He can play the liar.
• 7:19
  He these instruments they're they're home for him.
• 7:22
  However praising God looks for you.
• 7:24
  Are you eager to do that? Are you eager to get into the
• 7:27
  word in the morning? Are you eager to post about the
• 7:29
  Lord? Are you eager to listen to some
• 7:31
  godly music and to praise God even as you start off your
• 7:35
  morning? I encourage you, Wake up the
• 7:37
  dawn, you know, usher in your day with the praise of God.
• 7:42
  Verse #3 I will praise you Yahweh among the peoples.
• 7:45
  I will sing praises to you among the nations.
• 7:50
  So many people in our lives go throughout all of their days,
• 7:56
  maybe their work days, their weeks and they don't hear people
• 8:01
  lifting up the name of the Lord. They don't know that people are
• 8:04
  grateful to Jesus for saving them.
• 8:06
  They don't know that people thank the Lord for everything
• 8:10
  that they have been given. May you and I be the ones that
• 8:13
  were declaring it that maybe our Co worker or maybe our neighbor
• 8:18
  or maybe our family member. Maybe they don't believe yet,
• 8:22
  but may they know that God is praised.
• 8:25
  He is thanked, He is lauded, He is appreciated.
• 8:29
  We express gratitude towards Him.
• 8:31
  May we declare the praise of God to everyone around us then verse
• 8:38
  #4 for your faithful love is higher than the heavens and your
• 8:43
  faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
• 8:44
  He says as tall as the the heavens, the skies are above the
• 8:49
  earth. That is how much faithful love
• 8:52
  that has said that covenant steadfast, loyal love.
• 8:55
  That's how much love he has for us that will never go away.
• 8:59
  His faithfulness, his consistency reaches all the way
• 9:03
  up to the clouds and man, I'm certain that we know even more
• 9:08
  than and David knows here. He didn't know how high the
• 9:11
  skies were. We do and that is how high our
• 9:15
  God's love is. Obviously there.
• 9:17
  There's not a quantifiable limit on the love or the faithfulness
• 9:22
  of God. It's like, OK, God's good for up
• 9:24
  to, you know, 30,000 feet and then pass that you're on your
• 9:27
  own. And that's not what's being said
• 9:28
  here. This is a poetic way of phrasing
• 9:30
  God as far as I could possibly imagine.
• 9:34
  That is how much love and faithfulness that you have.
• 9:39
  Verse #5 He says God be exalted above the heavens, over and
• 9:44
  above the skies. He says, I want you to have
• 9:48
  exaltation over everything. Where the spiritual beings are
• 9:52
  in the heavens, the skies, I want you to be glorified there
• 9:55
  that all spiritual beings would recognize you as worthy of
• 9:59
  praise and obedience and love. And he says in the second part
• 10:03
  of verse 5, and let your glory be over the whole earth.
• 10:07
  May all of the inhabitants of the physical realm, humans and
• 10:12
  and animals and birds and fish, may all of us know how glorious
• 10:18
  you are. May we recognize your majesty
• 10:21
  and your dominion. You are in control.
• 10:23
  You are good to us. You're consistent.
• 10:26
  May we have that kind of view of our God.
• 10:31
  It's not God. You know, people might view him
• 10:34
  like the pizza boy and they're like, listen, God, if you don't
• 10:37
  get here in 30 minutes, you know my, my pizza is free.
• 10:40
  I can go on a sin fest if you don't show up and give me what I
• 10:45
  want on time. That should never be our our our
• 10:49
  mindset of God. He is sovereign.
• 10:50
  He's in control. We are the ones that when we
• 10:54
  come to him with a request, it's not even demanding our own way.
• 10:58
  We're saying, God, you have proclaimed this to us.
• 11:03
  Would you be true to your word? And man, that that's a bold
• 11:07
  statement, but that's what David here over and over again within
• 11:11
  the Psalms. It's what he says.
• 11:13
  He says God be faithful to your character.
• 11:17
  Verse number six, save with your right hand and answer me so that
• 11:21
  those you love may be rescued. He says God with your strength,
• 11:25
  your might. That's what's meant here by the
• 11:28
  right hand. It's not that God is less strong
• 11:33
  with, you know, his left hand here.
• 11:36
  It's saying with your might, with your power, I want you to
• 11:40
  save. I want you to answer me and I
• 11:42
  want you to rescue those you love.
• 11:45
  And I love that, that our God, he's not just one.
• 11:49
  David's not just saying for your honor, would you crush these
• 11:53
  enemies? He doesn't say because of their
• 11:56
  awful sins, will you crush our enemies?
• 12:00
  He actually says because you love us, would you protect us?
• 12:04
  And that's something that we can cry out to the Lord as well.
• 12:07
  I think even as I say that though of Jesus on the cross, I
• 12:11
  think of him in the Garden of Gethsemane, that he who has
• 12:15
  always been the Father's recipient of the the recipient
• 12:21
  of the Father's love, Jesus Christ.
• 12:25
  He asked Father, if it if it be your will, let this cup pass
• 12:28
  from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but
• 12:31
  your will be done. And on the cross, Jesus, the one
• 12:35
  that God has always loved most, was not rescued.
• 12:40
  So that we, the enemies of God, those that alienated ourselves
• 12:45
  from God, those that have lived our entire lives apart from him,
• 12:50
  and who would never have sought God out on our own, He pursued
• 12:55
  us. And we who hated him, who hated
• 12:59
  his way, he came and he rescued us and made us the recipients of
• 13:04
  his love because he did not rescue the Son that he loved on
• 13:09
  the cross. Man, what an awesome God we
• 13:13
  serve. Then verse #7 God has spoken in
• 13:16
  his sanctuary. So if you will, from the throne
• 13:19
  room, here's the answer to David.
• 13:21
  God has spoken. I will celebrate.
• 13:25
  He doesn't even say like I'm going to rescue, I'm going to
• 13:28
  defeat. He starts off by saying I
• 13:32
  already know how this is going to go.
• 13:36
  I already know the end of the story.
• 13:38
  This isn't going to be difficult for me.
• 13:41
  I'm going to celebrate and man, I need to ingest and meditate on
• 13:48
  more of this truth in my life. God is not fighting battles.
• 13:57
  He he just wins battles. Like read Revelation, see what
• 14:02
  happens when Jesus, quote UN quote fights.
• 14:06
  Whatever Jesus does, it happens instantaneously like it's it's
• 14:10
  one and done. First off, his incredible
• 14:15
  patience in our lives that he could have chosen to to say, all
• 14:22
  right, Brian, if you don't walk the line like I'm giving you
• 14:27
  forgiveness, I'm giving you a new start.
• 14:29
  I'm giving you a new life, but if you mess up like you're done
• 14:34
  for. No, God is patient with me day
• 14:36
  after day after day. But when I think about when
• 14:40
  Jesus was confronted even by the Judas and the the temple guards
• 14:48
  in the Garden of Gethsemane and they ask, hey, are you?
• 14:51
  Are you Jesus? And he says, I am.
• 14:55
  And John tells us they all fall backwards.
• 14:59
  That's what happens when Jesus is in a situation or when he
• 15:04
  comes back in Revelation. There's the armies of the earth
• 15:08
  that are gathered together against Jesus, against his
• 15:12
  people that worship him, and they want to eradicate them.
• 15:16
  And Jesus literally just speaks. He speaks the words of God and
• 15:21
  the armies of the earth are torn asunder.
• 15:25
  Like when God goes, he's not saying, oh man, I'm really going
• 15:28
  to struggle to to achieve a victory.
• 15:32
  He says I will celebrate. Can you rest in the fact that
• 15:36
  when God wants to move, it will be definitive, it will be final
• 15:43
  and it will because for celebration, because our God is
• 15:48
  always good. He's always right in what he
• 15:50
  does. He is always just.
• 15:52
  And so we can celebrate in the works of God even when we are
• 15:57
  scared. We can know God.
• 15:59
  The moment that you give the word, things change on your
• 16:04
  authority. There's a song by Elevation
• 16:06
  Worship that they put out several years ago called
• 16:09
  Authority Co, written actually by Brooke Liggert Wood, who's an
• 16:13
  incredible biblical lyricist. And I, I will attach that song
• 16:19
  to this episode because I love that song.
• 16:21
  It's so good. So God says I will celebrate,
• 16:25
  I'll divide up Shechem. I will apportion the valley of
• 16:28
  Sucketh. Gilead is mine, Manasseh is
• 16:31
  mine, and Ephraim is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
• 16:34
  So he says I will take care of my people.
• 16:37
  He says you guys worry about it because you think that you are
• 16:42
  responsible for keeping Israel safe, but actually way more so
• 16:48
  than Gilead or Manasseh or Ephraim or Judah belonging to
• 16:51
  David or belonging to any individual Israelite.
• 16:54
  He says it all belongs to me. It's my stuff.
• 16:58
  And so you're like, Oh no, God protect my stuff.
• 17:02
  And he says no, no, no, this is all mine.
• 17:04
  And so yes, I will celebrate because I am going to keep safe
• 17:09
  what is mine. Do you view the things in your
• 17:12
  life as belonging to you? Like if I view Tabernacle as
• 17:17
  belonging to Brian and not to God, I can be like, listen, God,
• 17:23
  I really need you to save this aspect of my church.
• 17:28
  Or God, I'm really, I'm really concerned or I'm really angry or
• 17:32
  I'm really sad about this area of the church.
• 17:35
  And so God, why won't you do something?
• 17:38
  Don't you realize how much this is affecting me?
• 17:41
  And I'm certain that the Lord's like, OK, dude, I love you.
• 17:46
  But actually all of that is mine.
• 17:48
  And I care about it more than you ever could.
• 17:51
  But it belongs to me, and I will do what is right with what is
• 17:56
  mine. And So what a joy that when we
• 17:59
  recognize we don't own anything, God is the owner of it all.
• 18:04
  We're just temporary stewards or managers who are overseeing
• 18:09
  something, and we ought to oversee what we have in a way
• 18:12
  that is reflective of God's ownership.
• 18:15
  That we don't view it flippantly, but we also say,
• 18:17
  this isn't mine. I'm just holding this
• 18:20
  temporarily because God has placed it in my hands, and the
• 18:23
  moment that he needs it back, I'm going to give it to him.
• 18:30
  Pardon me So here what a joy that it belongs to God, and if
• 18:36
  it belongs to God, God will do what is right with what belongs
• 18:39
  to Him. Then in verse #9 there is these
• 18:43
  33 enemy cities or enemy nations against Israel that attacked
• 18:51
  Israel for hundreds of years. And God says this about these
• 18:56
  three formidable places. He says Moab is my wash basin,
• 19:00
  like the thing that I wash my dirty or bathroom hands or my
• 19:05
  stinky, you know, dust covered, animal refuse covered feet in.
• 19:11
  Yeah, Moab is my wash basin. They, they are only good for
• 19:16
  clean cleaning up the gunk. They are not my rival.
• 19:21
  He says Moab, that's my wash basin.
• 19:23
  I can take care of them. He says I throw my sandal on
• 19:28
  Edom. I think often in Hispanic
• 19:31
  culture there's a reference to throwing the chonkla, you know,
• 19:36
  the, the chonkleta, the the sandal.
• 19:39
  And so I've seen so many humorous videos where, you know,
• 19:44
  Hispanic grandma will take her, her sandal and she'll Chuck the
• 19:48
  shoe at a dog that's, you know, barking really loudly and isn't
• 19:52
  supposed to be or something like that.
• 19:54
  That's the mental picture that I have right here of Edom that God
• 19:59
  says no, this is just a yapping puppy.
• 20:02
  They are nothing in comparison to my power.
• 20:06
  And then he says I shout in triumph over Felicia, that all
• 20:11
  of these Philistine cities that throughout the life of Seoul,
• 20:17
  because such difficulties for the children of Israel, God says
• 20:22
  I shout in triumph over them. He says the moment that I want
• 20:25
  them to be done, they will be done.
• 20:28
  And so don't worry about it. I will be victorious.
• 20:34
  And then he ends this section of God speaking by saying, who will
• 20:37
  bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to eat him?
• 20:40
  He says, come on, let's go out, let's battle, let's do it.
• 20:43
  And so then there's, you know, a person either reflective of
• 20:47
  David responding to the word of God or Israel responding to the
• 20:51
  word of God. And they say, God, haven't you
• 20:54
  rejected us? The answer is no, God has not
• 20:58
  rejected you. You may be going through hard
• 21:00
  times, but that doesn't mean that God rejected you.
• 21:02
  It just means God has not yet said, all right, it's time for
• 21:06
  me to step in, if you will. There's a part in The Lord of
• 21:11
  the Rings, which is a book written in the last century.
• 21:15
  For those that aren't familiar with it, some movies were made
• 21:18
  in the late 90s, early 2000s by Peter Jackson that that went
• 21:22
  over them as well. But there's a portion in the
• 21:25
  book where one of the characters, samewise Gamji, he
• 21:29
  talks about the fact that in all the best stories, there is a
• 21:34
  darkness that comes before the dawn.
• 21:37
  That if there's not the moment that you have before the hero
• 21:43
  comes in and saves everyone or before you find out if you know
• 21:49
  Rocky's going to get back up or you know, whatever else have
• 21:52
  you, there has to be that moment of, of tension before the story
• 21:57
  is at its best like it, it makes it a great story.
• 22:01
  Not if everything goes well all the time, but if there's a
• 22:04
  moment of going, what will happen?
• 22:07
  And then the hero comes in, then the salvation comes.
• 22:11
  And I not in a way that God is manipulating, but God as the
• 22:16
  good storyteller, God as the one in our life that wants us to
• 22:20
  recognize who he is so that there can be when relationship
• 22:25
  and love and adoration to him. He has made it so that we go
• 22:30
  through hard times so that we can see him save he he tells us
• 22:36
  in it's one of the Kings or Chronicles that the Lord is
• 22:40
  searching to and fro throughout the whole earth so that he can
• 22:44
  show himself strong on the behalf of those whose heart is
• 22:50
  is complete as perfect as turned towards him that they would see
• 22:54
  him work. So the question in verse 11 God,
• 22:58
  haven't you rejected us? No, my friend, not at all.
• 23:03
  He says God, you do not March out with our armies.
• 23:08
  No, he does. He actually said that in verse
• 23:10
  10. Who will bring me to the
• 23:12
  fortified city? That where you go, God is going
• 23:15
  with you. And when you hurt, God hurts
• 23:18
  with you. That's what we learned from the
• 23:20
  story of Saul in Acts Chapter 9 among several other places as
• 23:26
  well. But that when we hurt, the Lord
• 23:29
  hurts the the Holy Spirit is there with us.
• 23:31
  He bears with us even in our infirmities.
• 23:34
  Jesus knows what it's like to go through the difficulties that
• 23:36
  you and I go through and he hurts when we hurt.
• 23:39
  And so realize that God is marching out with you as you go
• 23:42
  to work today or as you are are dealing with illness like God is
• 23:47
  with you, and realize that he has not abandoned you.
• 23:51
  Then in verse #12 here's the prayer.
• 23:54
  Give us aid against the foe, for human help is worthless.
• 23:59
  I'll tell you, for, you know, the political situation in
• 24:02
  America today, people wonder, all right, who's going to give
• 24:06
  us the the best shot? Who is going to bring us back to
• 24:09
  a good place as a nation? And the truth is that we pursue
• 24:13
  righteousness, that we pursue justice.
• 24:16
  We realize that humans are incapable of doing what truly
• 24:21
  needs done. That doesn't mean that we don't
• 24:23
  pursue righteousness as a nation.
• 24:25
  As Proverbs tells us, righteousness exalts a nation.
• 24:29
  But sin is a reproach to any people.
• 24:32
  Though we pursue righteousness as a nation, we realize that it
• 24:36
  will not come like the good life, the the life that we
• 24:39
  desire to live. It will not come through human
• 24:42
  rulers. It's not going to come through a
• 24:45
  human political party. It comes through the Lord Jesus
• 24:48
  working in US and transforming us.
• 24:51
  And as we rely on him, we find victory in Him, and we need His
• 24:55
  help against the foe of sin and death.
• 24:58
  That's why Jesus came. We were unable to overcome that
• 25:02
  foe. And so Jesus died in our place,
• 25:05
  taking the punishment for our sin, overcoming the grave, and
• 25:08
  inviting us to follow Him into eternal life through believing
• 25:13
  in His sacrifice and in His ability and choosing Him as our
• 25:17
  Lord. And we need His help in the
• 25:20
  fight against Satan and his demons.
• 25:23
  That we would choose love, we would choose holiness, we would
• 25:27
  choose salvation and. And we would choose to walk
• 25:31
  alongside our brothers and sisters in the Lord in a loving
• 25:34
  and caring way because the foe wants to divide us and to
• 25:38
  destroy us and to cause us to walk in anger and hatred and
• 25:44
  solitude and and distrust of others.
• 25:46
  So we need God's help in every stinking area of our life.
• 25:51
  I was going to say every single area, but every stinking area of
• 25:54
  our life works too, I suppose. And so we need his help because
• 25:59
  human help is worthless. Humans cannot accomplish in us
• 26:02
  what God can accomplish in and through us.
• 26:05
  And then verse 13, this response of hope with God, we will
• 26:09
  perform valiantly. He will trample our foes.
• 26:14
  God is the one that is greater than any other, and so we ought
• 26:18
  to trust in Him and believe in Him.
• 26:21
  Well, thanks for tuning in today, and I hope Psalm 108 was
• 26:25
  an encouragement to you. Oh, verse #13 sorry, real quick.
• 26:28
  With God, we will perform valiantly.
• 26:30
  He will trample our foes should make you think Genesis chapter
• 26:35
  3, the foe that we have Satan, the serpent, his head is getting
• 26:40
  crushed by the seed of the woman, Jesus Christ, God in the
• 26:45
  flesh who trampled our foe and took away his power so that we
• 26:50
  could be saved. What a great God we serve.
• 26:53
  Well, look forward to seeing you next Wednesday as we dive into
• 26:56
  Psalm 109, which is an imprecatory Psalm.
• 27:00
  And I think we'll we'll have some great stuff that we'll
• 27:02
  learn in that time together. Thanks for tuning in.
