Psalm 130 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
Good morning. If y'all will, go ahead and turn with me to Psalm 130.
0:05
!
0:30
We've particularly been trying to hide this information, but we haven't been like a complete open book either.
0:38
So before you freak out, yes is the answer to that, that we probably are moving, but you've likely got us for another year.
0:47
So I'm from Paulding County. All my family lives there. There's like a water's hole section of land.
0:55
And many of y'all know my sister Chelsea, my brother-in-law Sam, who were CFC people a few years back.
1:03
They just built a house down there. Of course, y'all know the Stricklands, and they're moving to Paulding as well.
1:11
And most of Margaret's family is also down there. They all live in Cobb County, which is neighboring to Paulding.
1:17
And I say all that to say, ever since Everett was born, I've realized how much I valued time with my grandparents.
1:26
I was always a 75-yard walk up a hill to them, and my grandparents are currently still living and want to give us some land if we would want it that we could build on.
1:38
And with a lot of our family being really like-minded with us and all of the practical helps that being so close to family would bring.
1:47
And honestly, Margaret and I just really wanting Everett to grow up around cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents and even great-grandparents right now.
1:59
We'd toy around with the idea of moving for a really, really long time, but it seems like we are heading that way.
2:06
So I know a lot of you guys knew that, but I wanted to clue y'all into that.
2:12
Y'all, I don't know, I think I've processed a lot of the emotions behind it because we've been thinking about it for so long.
2:20
But we go like one direction to the other of being super happy and excited to really sad, to really happy back to really sad.
2:29
So I wanted to let everyone know about that.
2:33
And I promise for right now not to try to recruit all of the other CFC people with Paulding County roots.
2:43
But for right now.
2:46
Anyway, I say all that to say, yeah, we'll be missing a few Sundays coming up to check out some churches down there.
2:55
And we're okay, but we likely are heading that direction.
3:00
So, okay, I'm going to try to not get all emotional.
3:03
So let's get into Psalm 130.
3:05
I'm sure y'all will hear lots more about the potential of us moving and coming up.
3:09
But Psalm 130.
3:11
Some of y'all may remember a while back, I think it was just over a month ago,
3:15
I did the little homily right before the Lord's Supper on this psalm.
3:19
And I really enjoyed doing the little bit of studying for that that I did then.
3:23
And I think this is a psalm that we could really think through well as a church.
3:28
And so let's get into it.
3:30
So I'll read it, and then we'll get into just a little bit of background on it,
3:33
and then we'll get into the main part of our study.
3:36
So Psalm 130.
3:37
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
3:42
O Lord, hear my voice.
3:44
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy.
3:48
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
3:52
But with you there is forgiveness that you may be feared.
3:56
I wait for the Lord.
3:57
My soul waits.
3:58
And in his word I hope.
4:00
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning.
4:04
More than watchmen for the morning.
4:07
O Israel, hope in the Lord.
4:08
For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.
4:13
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
4:19
So this is our psalm this morning.
4:21
Psalms are often broken down into different categories just based on their themes or based on the context.
4:27
This one's often called a penitential psalm.
4:30
And that group of psalms focuses a lot on sorrow over sin,
4:34
seeing a need for the Lord's forgiveness,
4:37
a desire to turn away from sin,
4:39
and to look to the Lord for help.
4:42
You could call them psalms of repentance,
4:44
as we would likely say more often.
4:46
Probably the most well-known psalm of this type is Psalm 51.
4:51
And we know that David there was repenting of his sin with Bathsheba.
4:55
And some of that familiar wording from that psalm is probably coming to our minds already.
5:01
Think about verses 1 through 4 of that psalm where it says,
5:03
Have mercy on me, O God.
5:06
According to your steadfast love, according to your abundant mercy,
5:09
blot out my transgressions.
5:11
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
5:14
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
5:18
Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight,
5:22
so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.
5:26
You might think of verses 10 through 13 of that psalm.
5:29
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
5:34
Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
5:38
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
5:43
Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.
5:48
Another common one is Psalm 32, where David says,
5:52
I acknowledge my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity.
5:55
I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,
5:57
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
6:00
Those two are probably the most common psalms when we think of psalms that are showing repentance.
6:06
But then we get to this one, probably the most common, and the next most common.
6:14
And with it, I want to structure it in a couple of ways.
6:17
But there's that phrase that's so striking at the beginning,
6:21
the out of the depths.
6:23
And that's kind of how this whole psalm flows from that.
6:29
Spurgeon once summarized this psalm by saying,
6:32
Out of the depths we cry, wait, watch, and hope.
6:38
And I'd like to borrow a bit of that, and use that for part of our structure this morning.
6:42
So we're going to look at three different parts of it.
6:45
Firstly, out of the depths we cry.
6:47
Secondly, out of the depths we watch and wait.
6:53
And then thirdly, out of the depths we hope.
6:57
So that's how we're going to structure it this morning.
6:59
And be aware that point number one will be the longest.
7:02
So when I've gone 20 minutes on that one, don't be too worried.
7:06
So let's start with, Out of the depths we cry.
7:09
We're going to look at the first four verses with this one.
7:13
So our psalm begins with, Out of the depths we cry.
7:18
When we hear that word depths, we might be thinking of at least a couple of different things.
7:23
We might think of just being in a really hard situation, a circumstance that's really pressing on us.
7:29
Or we might think instead of really battling sin struggles in ourself.
7:34
In this psalm, though, I think the phrase is made pretty clear, even with just looking at our English translation,
7:41
of what type of depths are being talked about here.
7:44
Why I say that is look in verse three.
7:47
We begin seeing talks of iniquities and forgiveness.
7:51
As we see our psalmist begin to state that if the Lord truly marked all our iniquities and counted those against us,
7:57
that no one could stand.
7:58
Given that context, I think that's a pretty clear indicator that in verse one,
8:04
the psalmist is not just talking about a hard, non-moral situation,
8:08
but instead the psalmist is talking about really struggling against sin, battling against sin.
8:15
And in this battle of sin, I want us to notice something about the urgency of how the psalmist is speaking.
8:21
We have the wording, out of the depths, but getting a little bit past that,
8:26
you might see something even more intense, maybe.
8:32
So we have the depths, the deep pit of sorrow, shame, guilt, maybe even a little bit of just self-hatred.
8:38
But then notice, out of the depths we cry.
8:40
Not an out of the depths I come to you, or out of the depths I reach out to you, Lord,
8:49
or out of the depths I call to you.
8:53
Now, while the psalmist is currently certainly doing those things,
8:57
coming to the Lord, reaching out to the Lord, calling on his name,
9:00
those are not the word that he chose to use to describe what he's doing.
9:06
Instead, he uses the word cry.
9:08
He's not in an emotional state where he's thinking,
9:12
Oh, Lord, I'm just struggling with sin again.
9:16
He's instead really hit with the weight of his sin,
9:20
and therefore he cries out to the Lord.
9:24
And look at verse 2, where it says,
9:27
Oh, Lord, hear my voice.
9:29
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy.
9:32
We see the psalmist calling the name of the Lord again.
9:38
And note what he says.
9:39
He doesn't say, Lord, answer my prayer, or give me what I want.
9:44
Give me exactly what I ask.
9:47
But instead, he asks the Lord to hear him.
9:52
Ask the Lord to hear his voice, to be attentive to his pleas for mercy.
9:57
Let's make me think a little bit about kids
10:01
and how kids can often struggle with thinking that they know better than their parents
10:07
what would be best for them.
10:09
We even already see this with Everett when he's just about to turn one.
10:14
He always wants to eat bread, and that's not a good situation.
10:17
We might think of a kid that is wanting to hold something or touch something
10:24
that their parent knows is dangerous,
10:27
or a kid wanting to stay up past their bedtime
10:30
when their parent knows that that would totally wreck them for the next day.
10:35
And I bring that up to say the psalmist is not like this at all.
10:40
Well, he's recognizing that our Lord knows what he needs much more than he himself.
10:48
When we're seeing him not asking the Lord to answer his prayer,
10:52
but just to hear him,
10:53
that yes, he will argue his case before the Lord,
10:56
pour out his heart before the Lord,
10:59
but ultimately what he's asking here is he wants the Lord to hear him.
11:04
And then he will entrust his soul to the Lord, our faithful creator,
11:08
for what the Lord decides to do in the situation.
11:14
When we're in repentance, do we have that same level of humility?
11:21
Do we have that same level of just pouring out our hearts to God,
11:25
trusting him to do what would be best for us?
11:29
Or, I think something I can often struggle with,
11:32
when we're coming in repentance,
11:35
do we already seem to know all of the answers?
11:38
Do we put ourselves in the place of God and know,
11:41
this is exactly what I should do to fix this?
11:43
Do we seem to have the solutions to all our problems,
11:46
all worked out with our solution, right?
11:50
Do we even ask the Lord at times to give us exactly what we want in prayer,
11:55
which turns our prayers into,
11:57
let our will be done, not yours, Lord.
12:01
Spurgeon once made the following statement when reflecting about this verse.
12:05
If the Lord will hear us,
12:08
we will leave it to his superior wisdom
12:10
to decide whether he will answer us or not.
12:14
It is better for our prayer to be heard than answered.
12:18
If the Lord were to make an absolute promise
12:20
to answer all our requests,
12:22
it might be rather a curse than a blessing,
12:25
for it would be casting the responsibility upon ourselves,
12:28
and we should be placed in a very anxious position.
12:30
But now the Lord hears our desires,
12:34
and that is enough.
12:35
We only wish him to grant them
12:37
in his infinite wisdom.
12:39
He sees that it would be good for our good and for his glory.
12:43
So we call to the Lord,
12:45
and let's really be thankful
12:47
that he doesn't grant everything that we ask,
12:51
because his wisdom is so much higher than ours.
12:54
Our growth, our salvation, our sanctification,
12:58
even whether our prayers are answered,
13:01
are ultimately orchestrated by the Lord,
13:03
who in his infinite wisdom
13:04
always has his glory and our good in mind.
13:10
So the psalmist is called to the Lord,
13:12
pleading that the Lord would hear his cry,
13:15
would be attentive to his pleas for mercy.
13:17
Now let's get down into verse 3,
13:19
and I think verse 3 is the verse
13:21
that brings so many people to the psalm.
13:24
And I think many of us really like to use it
13:26
to talk about the heart of the gospel.
13:29
And so let's reread it again now.
13:31
Verse 3,
13:32
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
13:34
O Lord, who could stand?
13:37
I think this verse is so framing
13:39
in the way we should think through this whole psalm.
13:43
The psalmist initially is in such deep sorrow over sin.
13:47
He's seeing the depths of himself.
13:49
He sees his sin very clearly,
13:51
and he sees a holy God,
13:53
and he realizes the depth of his need.
13:57
And notice also how often he's addressing the Lord.
14:00
You might just look through the psalm
14:02
and so quickly see how often he's just calling the Lord,
14:06
the reverence that he's showing
14:08
in his position compared to that of the Lord.
14:11
And then in verse 3,
14:12
I think it drives that idea home
14:15
that if the Lord should mark iniquities,
14:18
who could stand?
14:19
In other words,
14:19
if our sin was truly counted against us,
14:22
would there be anyone left?
14:24
Would anyone pass the test?
14:28
He's not only feeling the need to cry out in brokenness,
14:31
but in this verse,
14:32
he's truly confessing
14:34
that he could not stand before God.
14:37
In fact, that no one could.
14:39
I think we would all give the obvious answer
14:42
to this rhetorical question.
14:44
No one,
14:45
no one could stand before the Lord.
14:47
Other scripture that's probably already popping into your mind
14:50
makes this so clear.
14:51
Think about Romans 3
14:52
that's actually quoting a couple different psalms.
14:55
None is righteous,
14:55
no, not one.
14:56
No one understands,
14:57
no one seeks for God.
14:58
All have turned aside.
14:59
Together they have become worthless.
15:01
No one does good,
15:03
not even one.
15:05
None of us could stand
15:07
if our sin were truly counted against us.
15:10
I would wager to say
15:11
that none of us could stand
15:12
if we just looked at our lives
15:15
over this past morning.
15:17
From the people that get up crazy early around 4
15:20
to the people that are rolling out of bed around 9.45.
15:25
I bet all of us,
15:27
no matter if we've had just a couple hours of being awake
15:31
or if we've had six hours of being awake,
15:34
I would wager to say
15:35
that all of us could pinpoint
15:36
some sort of sin
15:38
that we've struggled with today.
15:40
Whether it be an action
15:41
or whether it just be something in our minds,
15:43
something in our hearts,
15:46
none of us could stand.
15:48
But then we see verse 4.
15:50
And I think the sweetness of verse 4
15:52
really drives the rest of the psalm.
15:56
Let's read 3 and 4 again together
15:58
so we can remember that flow.
16:01
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
16:02
O Lord, who could stand?
16:05
But with you there is forgiveness
16:06
that you may be feared.
16:09
A while back when I did this psalm
16:11
at the beginning of the Lord's Supper,
16:13
I compared this to the other but-gods in Scripture
16:17
of us maybe even thinking Ephesians 2,
16:19
right, of but God being rich in mercy
16:21
because of the great love of which he loved us, right?
16:22
That kind of thing of Paul explaining the gospel
16:25
after explaining our sin.
16:29
And the psalmist is doing
16:30
a very, very similar thing.
16:33
He's cried out to the Lord
16:34
with a deep pit of sorrow over sin.
16:37
He's pleading his cry for mercy.
16:39
He has acknowledged that no one can stand
16:42
in light of a holy God based on our sin.
16:46
But then he makes this such wonderful,
16:48
freeing statement
16:48
about the character of our Lord.
16:51
But with you there is forgiveness
16:52
that you may be feared.
16:55
Elsewhere in another psalm,
16:57
Psalm 86, verse 5,
16:59
we read,
16:59
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
17:03
abounding in steadfast love
17:04
to all who call upon you.
17:07
We know the psalmist had a really clear picture
17:09
that the Lord was a very forgiving God
17:13
to a very undeserving people.
17:16
This might make us think back to Old Testament text
17:20
where the Lord proclaims his character.
17:22
Think about after Moses had broken the tablets
17:25
and the Lord was asking him to make new ones.
17:27
Exodus 34, verses 6 and 7 say,
17:30
The Lord passed before him and proclaimed,
17:32
The Lord, the Lord,
17:33
a God merciful and gracious,
17:35
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love
17:38
and faithfulness,
17:40
keeping steadfast love for thousands,
17:42
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,
17:44
but who will by no means clear the guilty,
17:47
visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children
17:49
and the children's children
17:50
to the third and the fourth generation.
17:52
And I bring all that up
17:54
to say that there was some strong knowledge
17:58
and awareness,
17:59
even at this time,
18:00
of the great mercy of our God.
18:03
While the how, the why of Christ
18:05
was not yet fully understood,
18:07
fully realized to these people in this day,
18:10
there was some good understanding
18:11
that the Lord was a very forgiving God,
18:14
merciful, gracious, slow to anger,
18:16
abounding in steadfast love,
18:18
but also a God who will by no means clear the guilty.
18:23
And so with that reality,
18:25
the psalmist is pleading,
18:26
knowing that with the Lord,
18:27
he has been given such mercy
18:29
and how thankful he is,
18:31
how humble he is
18:32
as acknowledging that
18:34
he's not deserving of this mercy at all,
18:37
that truly no one deserves it,
18:38
but we in the psalmist here
18:40
has been graciously given it by the Lord.
18:45
Spurgeon, again,
18:45
I'm going to quote Spurgeon a lot,
18:47
once said of this verse,
18:48
free, full, sovereign pardon
18:50
is in the hand of the great king.
18:53
It is his prerogative to forgive
18:54
and he delights to exercise it.
18:57
Because his nature is mercy
18:59
and because he has provided a sacrifice for sin,
19:02
therefore forgiveness is with him
19:03
and for all that come to him
19:05
confessing their sins.
19:08
All those who come to the Lord in faith
19:10
may have this forgiveness.
19:12
We as modern day Christians
19:14
may have an even greater understanding
19:17
that while we can look back
19:20
to the person and work of Christ,
19:21
the psalmist in this day looked forward
19:23
and trusted in the forgiving character
19:24
of the Lord.
19:26
Now let's consider that blessing
19:27
of that clarity
19:28
of that hope we have.
19:32
That not based on any goodness of ourselves,
19:35
we have been given such grace
19:37
from the Lord.
19:38
The clarity of it,
19:40
think of what we have in the New Testament
19:42
explaining it now.
19:43
Think of Romans 5,
19:44
verses 6 through 11.
19:45
Y'all turn with me there.
19:46
Romans 5.
19:55
Romans 5,
19:56
verses 6 through 11,
19:57
I think makes this
19:57
so clear
19:58
and so precious to us.
20:01
Picking up in verse 6,
20:03
it says,
20:03
For while we were still weak,
20:04
at the right time,
20:05
Christ died for the ungodly.
20:07
For one will scarcely die
20:09
for a righteous person,
20:10
though perhaps for a good person,
20:11
one would dare even to die.
20:13
But God chose his love for us
20:14
in that while we were still sinners,
20:17
Christ died for us.
20:18
Since therefore we have now been justified
20:20
by his blood,
20:21
much more shall we be saved by him
20:22
from the wrath of God.
20:24
For while we were enemies,
20:25
we were reconciled to God
20:26
by the death of his son.
20:27
Much more now that we are reconciled,
20:29
shall we be saved by his life.
20:31
More than that,
20:32
we also rejoice in God
20:34
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
20:35
through whom we have now
20:36
received reconciliation.
20:39
And our hope is not just there.
20:41
Think of Galatians 2.20.
20:42
I have been crucified with Christ.
20:44
It is no longer I who live,
20:46
but Christ who lives in me.
20:48
And the life I now live,
20:49
I live in the flesh,
20:50
or excuse me,
20:51
the life I now live in the flesh,
20:52
I live by faith in the Son of God
20:54
who loved me
20:55
and gave himself for me.
20:57
Or think about probably
20:58
the most well-known verse.
20:59
For God so loved the world
21:01
that he gave his only Son,
21:03
that whoever believes in him
21:04
should not perish,
21:05
but have eternal life.
21:07
Let's always remember
21:08
that hope that we have
21:10
through the forgiveness
21:12
we have in the Lord.
21:15
Okay.
21:16
Y'all might have noticed
21:16
we've been talking about
21:17
verse 4 for a while,
21:18
but we haven't talked about
21:19
the back end of it.
21:22
Reading verse 4 one more time.
21:24
But with you there is forgiveness
21:26
that you may be feared.
21:28
It might seem interesting to us
21:31
the phrasing of it.
21:32
To our mind,
21:33
we might think it would be
21:34
more likely to say
21:35
something different.
21:36
Like,
21:37
with you there is forgiveness
21:38
that you might be loved.
21:40
Or with you there is forgiveness
21:41
that your grace might be shown.
21:43
Or maybe even,
21:44
with you there is forgiveness
21:45
that you may be glorified.
21:47
Or,
21:48
even someone treating salvation
21:50
flippantly.
21:50
With you there is forgiveness
21:51
so there is no longer
21:52
a need to put away sin.
21:54
We know Paul shot that down
21:55
in Romans.
21:56
But,
21:57
instead,
21:58
we have something different.
21:59
We have,
21:59
with you there is forgiveness
22:01
that you may be feared.
22:03
This fear,
22:04
of course,
22:04
does denote a reverence
22:06
and awe,
22:07
a why me
22:08
kind of idea
22:10
that we should be amazed
22:11
that the Lord has shown us
22:12
such great mercy
22:14
when he couldn't have
22:16
just totally wiped us out.
22:17
Right?
22:18
That would be the
22:19
just thing to do.
22:21
And that way we fear him.
22:22
I think of a hymn that,
22:23
maybe we should start back
22:25
doing some more here
22:27
that is,
22:28
How Sweet and Awful.
22:30
How sweet and awful
22:31
is the place
22:32
with Christ
22:32
within the doors
22:33
while everlasting love
22:35
displays the choicest
22:36
of our stores.
22:38
While all our hearts
22:39
and all our songs
22:40
join to admire the feast,
22:42
each of us cry
22:42
with thankful tongues,
22:43
Lord,
22:43
why was I
22:45
a guest?
22:47
Why was I made
22:48
to hear thy voice
22:48
and enter
22:49
while there's room
22:50
while thousands
22:51
make a wretched choice
22:52
and rather starve
22:54
than come?
22:56
It was the same love
22:56
that spread the feast
22:57
that sweetly drew us in,
23:00
else we had still
23:01
refused to taste
23:02
and perished in our sin.
23:04
Pity the nations,
23:05
O our God,
23:05
constrain the earth to come,
23:07
send thy victorious word
23:08
abroad,
23:09
and bring the strangers home.
23:11
We long to see
23:12
thy churches full,
23:13
that all the chosen race
23:14
may with one voice
23:15
and heart and soul
23:16
sing thy redeeming grace.
23:18
So we've been giving
23:21
such great forgiveness
23:24
in Christ
23:24
while we did not
23:26
deserve it one bit.
23:29
Such undeserved forgiveness.
23:31
Why were we chosen?
23:33
While others choose
23:34
to reject that same invitation.
23:38
While we are just as
23:39
undeserving as they.
23:42
And so the psalmist
23:42
very much understands
23:45
that reality.
23:45
out of the depths
23:46
crying out,
23:49
acknowledging his sin,
23:50
and that he's so undeserving
23:52
of forgiveness.
23:55
Okay.
23:55
So I've probably been
23:57
about 20 minutes
23:57
on that point.
23:58
But I promise
23:59
the others will be
23:59
much, much shorter.
24:01
So let's get down
24:02
past verse 4
24:03
into second point.
24:05
Out of the depths
24:06
we watch
24:07
and wait.
24:09
Out of the depths
24:10
we watch
24:10
and wait.
24:12
Let's read verses 5 and 6
24:13
again.
24:14
And you'll see
24:14
the waiting,
24:15
watching,
24:16
and hoping
24:16
all of those words
24:17
all throughout here.
24:19
I wait for the Lord.
24:20
My soul waits.
24:21
And in his word
24:22
I hope.
24:24
My soul waits
24:24
for the Lord
24:25
more than watchmen
24:26
for the morning.
24:28
More than watchmen
24:29
for the morning.
24:31
So this waiting
24:32
we might ask
24:33
what is this waiting
24:34
really for?
24:36
This waiting here
24:37
seems to be
24:38
twofold.
24:39
And I think
24:39
you all will see
24:40
why I believe that.
24:42
Firstly
24:42
at the beginning
24:43
of the psalm
24:43
we noted
24:44
just the state
24:44
of being
24:45
down in the depths.
24:48
My family
24:49
growing up
24:49
often said
24:50
I'm just feeling
24:50
down in the dump.
24:52
You could use
24:53
that similar
24:54
phrasing.
24:56
Having a really,
24:57
really strong
24:58
sorrow
24:58
over sin.
25:01
This waiting
25:02
on the Lord
25:03
seems to be tied
25:03
to redemption
25:04
both now
25:05
and full
25:07
and final
25:07
redemption
25:08
in the future.
25:09
And the reason
25:10
I'm saying
25:11
this is
25:12
verses 7
25:12
and 8.
25:13
So let's get
25:13
into those
25:14
a little bit
25:14
because I think
25:16
they help us
25:16
understand
25:17
verses 5
25:17
and 6.
25:19
So let's read
25:19
those.
25:20
Oh Israel
25:20
hope in the
25:21
Lord for
25:21
with the
25:21
Lord there
25:22
is steadfast
25:22
love and
25:23
with him
25:24
is plentiful
25:25
redemption and
25:26
he will
25:27
redeem Israel
25:28
from all
25:28
his iniquities.
25:30
So in
25:31
verse 7
25:32
we see a
25:32
call to
25:33
Israel,
25:33
a call to
25:34
the people
25:34
of God
25:34
to hope
25:35
in the
25:35
Lord.
25:37
Why hope
25:37
in the
25:37
Lord?
25:38
Because with
25:39
him there
25:39
is steadfast
25:40
love.
25:41
We can have
25:41
confidence that
25:42
his love
25:43
is constantly
25:44
on us
25:45
and plentiful
25:46
redemption.
25:48
And then in
25:48
verse 8
25:49
he will
25:51
not he may
25:52
but he will
25:53
redeem Israel
25:54
from all
25:54
his iniquities.
25:56
Now I'm
25:57
bringing up
25:57
these verses
25:58
because I
25:58
think they
25:59
show exactly
26:00
what the
26:00
psalmist is
26:00
waiting on.
26:01
Both a
26:02
mindset of
26:03
having hope
26:04
in the
26:04
Lord.
26:05
He wants
26:05
his heart
26:05
to catch
26:06
up with
26:07
the reality
26:08
of what
26:09
his mind
26:09
understands
26:10
of there's
26:11
plentiful
26:11
redemption
26:12
in the
26:12
Lord.
26:13
He wants
26:13
to feel
26:14
that but
26:14
also
26:15
notice that
26:17
more full
26:19
and final
26:19
redemption
26:20
at the
26:21
end.
26:21
He will
26:22
redeem
26:24
Israel.
26:26
Many of
26:26
you guys
26:27
I know
26:27
have picked
26:28
up one
26:28
of those
26:29
many copies
26:30
of Gentle
26:30
!
26:30
and Lowly
26:31
that are
26:31
in the
26:31
hallway.
26:34
And in
26:34
that book
26:34
he makes
26:35
some
26:35
really
26:36
wonderful
26:36
observations
26:38
about the
26:39
love that
26:39
the Lord
26:40
has for
26:41
us.
26:42
And in
26:43
talking about
26:43
what our
26:44
response should
26:45
be when
26:46
we're struggling
26:46
with sin
26:47
whether that's
26:48
a like
26:49
battling
26:50
our sin
26:52
in a
26:52
worldly
26:52
way of
26:53
just getting
26:53
so down
26:54
and just
26:55
fighting
26:55
ourselves
26:55
or running
26:56
to the
26:56
Lord with
26:57
godly grief
26:57
over our
26:59
sin instead
27:00
of that
27:00
wallowing
27:01
in it.
27:03
Dane
27:03
Ortlund
27:03
says,
27:04
speaking of
27:05
our Lord,
27:06
he does
27:06
not get
27:06
flustered
27:07
and frustrated
27:08
when we
27:09
come to
27:09
him for
27:09
fresh
27:10
forgiveness,
27:11
for renewed
27:12
pardon
27:12
with distress
27:14
and need
27:14
and emptiness.
27:16
That's the
27:16
whole point.
27:17
It's what
27:18
he came
27:18
to heal.
27:20
He went
27:20
down into
27:21
the horror
27:21
of death
27:22
and plunged
27:23
out through
27:23
the other
27:24
side in
27:24
order to
27:25
provide a
27:25
limitless
27:26
supply of
27:27
mercy and
27:28
grace to
27:28
his people.
27:31
This seems
27:32
to be so
27:33
similar to
27:34
what the
27:34
psalmist is
27:35
exhorting
27:35
here.
27:36
Go to
27:37
the Lord,
27:37
right?
27:38
Know your
27:38
redemption.
27:39
Know the
27:39
steadfast love
27:40
that the
27:41
Lord has
27:42
for you.
27:43
Go to
27:44
the Lord
27:44
to know
27:44
your
27:45
forgiveness
27:45
when struggling
27:46
with sin.
27:47
I think
27:48
that's part
27:48
of what
27:48
is being
27:49
weighted on
27:50
in verse
27:50
five.
27:51
That sense
27:51
of redemption,
27:52
that sense
27:53
of steadfast
27:53
love.
27:55
But that
27:55
twofold part
27:56
again,
27:56
that and
27:57
he will
27:57
redeem
27:57
Israel
27:58
from all
27:59
his
27:59
iniquities,
28:00
that sure
28:01
complete and
28:02
final sound
28:03
of that
28:04
verse,
28:05
redeeming
28:05
Israel,
28:05
redeeming
28:06
God's
28:06
people from
28:06
all their
28:07
iniquities,
28:08
that's a
28:08
different kind
28:09
of longing
28:09
for the
28:10
day when
28:10
we will
28:11
be fully
28:11
set free
28:13
from sin
28:13
and fully
28:15
sanctified.
28:16
That's a
28:16
hope for
28:16
eternity.
28:18
I believe
28:18
so many of
28:19
us can get
28:19
frustrated with
28:20
ourselves about
28:21
our sin,
28:22
feeling like
28:23
we keep doing
28:23
the same
28:24
thing over
28:25
and over
28:26
again and
28:26
long for
28:27
eternity.
28:27
We long for
28:28
that day when
28:28
we'll be
28:29
finally and
28:29
fully freed
28:30
from sin
28:31
when all
28:31
things will
28:32
be made
28:32
new.
28:33
And that
28:34
longing for
28:34
eternity I
28:35
think is
28:35
exactly what
28:36
verse 8 is
28:37
talking about.
28:38
So we'll get
28:38
into verse 7
28:39
and 8 a bit
28:39
more in a
28:40
sec, but
28:41
think about
28:41
these waiting
28:42
and watching
28:43
words.
28:45
It's not a
28:46
sit around and
28:46
do nothing
28:47
kind of
28:47
waiting.
28:48
It's not a
28:49
standing in
28:50
line at
28:50
Walmart getting
28:51
bored kind
28:52
of waiting.
28:53
It's a much
28:54
more intense
28:55
kind of waiting.
28:56
Notice the
28:56
wording.
28:57
I wait for
28:58
the Lord
28:58
and even
28:58
more emphasis
28:59
my soul
29:00
waits.
29:02
In fact my
29:02
soul waits for
29:03
the Lord more
29:03
than watchmen
29:04
for the morning
29:05
more than
29:05
watchmen for
29:06
the morning.
29:07
We get the
29:08
picture of
29:08
guards around
29:09
the city
29:10
watching for
29:11
attackers and
29:13
wearying
29:14
themselves by
29:14
staying up
29:15
waiting for
29:16
the morning.
29:17
Or you might
29:18
think of
29:18
Matthew
29:19
Carnegie
29:20
guarding his
29:21
campers from
29:21
a bear.
29:23
Mostly kidding.
29:23
But you
29:26
might think of
29:26
something so
29:27
much more
29:27
serious as
29:28
well.
29:28
Of someone
29:29
staying awake
29:30
through the
29:30
night caring
29:31
for a sick
29:32
loved one.
29:33
Making sure
29:34
they are okay
29:34
or even
29:35
waiting at a
29:36
time when you
29:37
believe someone
29:37
will pass.
29:40
Thinking about
29:41
just being
29:42
outside overnight
29:44
and maybe
29:46
you're hunting
29:46
but whatever
29:47
it is you
29:48
get that
29:49
glimpse of
29:50
sun in the
29:51
morning.
29:52
You know that
29:52
you've got to
29:53
just make it
29:53
through a
29:54
little bit
29:54
more cold
29:54
and there
29:55
will be
29:55
these rays
29:56
hitting you
29:56
and it's
29:57
wonderful.
30:00
Do we
30:01
wait?
30:01
Do we
30:01
watch in
30:03
this way?
30:03
Do we
30:04
long to
30:04
know the
30:05
assurance of
30:06
our salvation
30:07
or long
30:09
for eternity,
30:10
long for the
30:10
day of our
30:10
Lord in this
30:11
way?
30:12
Do we
30:13
want to
30:13
know full
30:14
freedom from
30:15
sin this
30:17
much?
30:18
Do we
30:19
want to
30:19
meet the
30:19
one who
30:20
saved us
30:20
and who
30:20
kept us
30:21
by his
30:21
grace this
30:22
much?
30:23
What do
30:24
we
30:24
long for?
30:24
Where
30:24
are our
30:25
minds at
30:26
when we
30:27
daydream?
30:27
Do we
30:28
long to
30:28
be free
30:28
from sin?
30:29
Do we
30:29
long for
30:30
eternity?
30:30
Do we
30:30
wait for
30:32
the Lord
30:33
more than
30:34
watchmen for
30:34
the morning?
30:37
Okay, let's
30:37
get to our
30:38
last point.
30:39
Number three,
30:39
out of the
30:40
depths we
30:40
hope.
30:42
Out of the
30:42
depths we
30:43
hope.
30:44
We've spoken
30:45
about our
30:45
hope all
30:46
throughout the
30:46
sermon because
30:47
I believe it
30:48
was necessary
30:48
to do so in
30:49
order to
30:49
properly
30:50
understand some
30:51
of the other
30:51
verses.
30:51
In fact,
30:53
all of our
30:53
crying,
30:54
waiting,
30:55
watching,
30:55
and hoping
30:56
are all
30:56
tied so
30:57
closely
30:58
together.
31:00
Isaac
31:00
Ambrose once
31:01
said this on
31:01
your bulletin,
31:03
that hope is a
31:03
faculty of the
31:04
soul that
31:04
looks out for
31:05
mercy and
31:06
waits for the
31:07
same.
31:08
Let's notice a
31:09
couple things
31:09
about that
31:10
hope.
31:10
Firstly, in the
31:11
middle of our
31:12
waiting and
31:13
watching verses,
31:14
we see our
31:15
hope in the
31:16
waiting and
31:16
watching stages.
31:18
It's the
31:18
Lord's word.
31:19
I wait for
31:20
the Lord,
31:20
my soul
31:21
waits,
31:21
and in
31:21
his word
31:22
I hope.
31:24
Think about
31:24
the hope
31:25
that the
31:26
psalmist
31:27
had that
31:28
we see in
31:29
7 and 8
31:29
that is
31:30
coming from
31:30
the Lord's
31:31
word,
31:32
not fully
31:32
knowing the
31:33
redemption of
31:33
the Lord,
31:34
but knowing
31:34
the Lord
31:34
had a plan
31:35
for his
31:35
people to
31:35
show them
31:36
such great
31:37
mercy,
31:39
that they
31:39
would be
31:40
his people
31:41
and he
31:42
would be
31:42
their God.
31:43
And now
31:44
we having
31:44
a full
31:45
revelation
31:46
have so much
31:46
reason to
31:48
hope.
31:48
even more
31:49
understanding
31:49
that they
31:50
had.
31:51
That while
31:51
we see the
31:52
great weight
31:52
of our
31:52
sin,
31:53
when we're
31:53
in the
31:54
depths,
31:55
calling to
31:55
the Lord,
31:56
we can be
31:56
confident,
31:58
think about
31:58
Philippians 1
31:59
verse 6,
31:59
that I am
32:00
sure of
32:01
this,
32:02
that he
32:02
who began
32:02
a good
32:03
work in
32:03
you will
32:03
bring it
32:03
to
32:04
completion
32:04
at the
32:04
day of
32:04
Jesus
32:05
Christ.
32:06
We can
32:06
be so
32:06
confident
32:07
that the
32:07
Lord who
32:08
began the
32:08
work in
32:09
us will
32:09
finish
32:10
the work
32:11
in us.
32:13
And then
32:14
think about,
32:14
this will be
32:15
another place
32:15
for y'all to
32:16
turn.
32:16
Y'all go
32:16
ahead and
32:16
turn with
32:17
me to
32:17
John 6.
32:18
John 6.
32:26
This is
32:27
another
32:27
passage that
32:28
is talked
32:30
about really
32:30
well in
32:30
Gentle and
32:31
Lowly.
32:33
Let's look
32:33
at a few
32:33
verses here,
32:34
verse 35
32:35
through 40.
32:37
Jesus said
32:38
to them,
32:39
I am the
32:39
bread of
32:40
life.
32:41
Whoever
32:41
comes to
32:41
me shall
32:42
not hunger,
32:42
and whoever
32:43
believes in
32:43
me shall
32:44
never thirst.
32:45
But I
32:46
said to
32:46
you,
32:47
excuse me,
32:47
but I
32:48
said to
32:48
you that
32:48
you have
32:49
seen me,
32:49
and yet
32:49
you do
32:50
not believe.
32:51
All that
32:51
the Father
32:52
gives me
32:52
will come
32:53
to me,
32:53
and whoever
32:53
comes to
32:54
me I
32:54
will never
32:55
cast out.
32:56
For I
32:57
have come
32:57
down from
32:57
heaven not
32:58
to do
32:58
my own
32:58
will,
32:59
but the
32:59
will of
32:59
him who
32:59
sent
33:00
me.
33:01
All this
33:01
is the
33:02
will of
33:02
him who
33:02
sent
33:02
me,
33:03
that I
33:03
should
33:03
lose
33:03
nothing of
33:04
all that
33:04
he has
33:05
given
33:05
me,
33:05
but raise
33:06
it up
33:06
on the
33:06
last
33:07
day.
33:08
For
33:08
this is
33:08
the
33:08
will of
33:08
my
33:09
Father,
33:09
that
33:09
everyone
33:09
who
33:10
looks on
33:10
the
33:10
Son
33:10
and
33:10
believes
33:11
in
33:11
him
33:11
should
33:12
have
33:12
eternal
33:13
life,
33:13
and I
33:13
will
33:13
raise
33:14
him
33:14
up
33:14
on
33:14
the
33:14
last
33:15
day.
33:16
Sometimes
33:17
passages
33:17
like this
33:18
seem too
33:18
good to
33:18
be true.
33:20
I
33:20
think we
33:21
as
33:21
believers
33:22
often slip
33:23
into a
33:23
workspace
33:24
mindset
33:24
again,
33:25
that we
33:25
treat our
33:26
salvation
33:27
as coming
33:27
from
33:27
grace,
33:28
but we
33:28
treat our
33:28
sanctification
33:29
as if
33:29
it's
33:29
all a
33:29
work
33:29
of
33:30
us.
33:31
Maybe
33:31
we
33:31
believe
33:32
that
33:32
the
33:32
Lord
33:32
has
33:32
forgiven
33:33
all
33:33
of
33:33
our
33:33
past
33:33
sins
33:34
before
33:35
we
33:35
became
33:35
a
33:35
believer,
33:36
but we
33:36
struggle
33:37
to
33:37
believe
33:37
that
33:37
the
33:37
Lord
33:38
is
33:38
also
33:38
forgiving
33:39
our
33:39
current
33:40
sin
33:40
struggles.
33:41
We
33:42
believe
33:42
that
33:42
he
33:42
must
33:43
get
33:43
so
33:43
frustrated
33:43
with
33:44
us
33:44
when
33:44
we
33:44
still
33:44
sin
33:45
after
33:46
that.
33:47
Now,
33:47
while
33:47
we
33:48
should
33:48
endeavor
33:48
to
33:49
always
33:49
live
33:49
lives
33:50
worthy
33:51
of the
33:51
calling
33:52
to which
33:52
we've
33:52
been
33:52
called,
33:53
we
33:53
must
33:54
constantly
33:54
remember
33:55
that
33:55
the
33:56
whole
33:56
point
33:56
of
33:57
the
33:57
gospel
33:57
is
33:58
that
33:58
we
33:58
are
33:59
not
33:59
worthy
34:03
that
34:04
the
34:04
Lord
34:04
shows
34:04
his
34:05
great
34:05
love
34:05
for
34:05
us
34:05
and
34:05
that
34:06
while
34:06
we
34:06
were
34:06
yet
34:06
sinners
34:07
he
34:08
died
34:08
for
34:09
us.
34:10
And
34:10
according
34:10
to
34:10
this
34:11
passage
34:11
we
34:11
just
34:12
read,
34:13
our
34:13
Lord
34:13
will
34:13
not
34:14
cast
34:14
out
34:14
any
34:15
that
34:15
the
34:15
Father
34:16
gives
34:16
him
34:16
and
34:17
all
34:18
that
34:18
the
34:18
Father
34:18
gives
34:19
him
34:19
will
34:19
come
34:20
to
34:20
him.
34:21
What
34:21
great
34:22
assurance
34:22
we
34:22
can
34:22
have
34:23
that
34:23
the
34:23
Lord
34:23
will
34:24
continue
34:24
the
34:25
work
34:25
that
34:26
he
34:26
started
34:26
in
34:26
us.
34:27
He
34:27
will
34:28
bring
34:28
it
34:28
to
34:28
completion
34:29
at
34:30
his
34:30
day.
34:32
But
34:32
in
34:32
verse
34:33
8
34:33
we
34:33
also
34:33
have
34:34
that
34:34
and
34:34
back
34:35
in
34:35
Psalm
34:35
130
34:35
verse
34:36
8
34:36
we
34:36
also
34:37
have
34:37
that
34:37
such
34:37
great
34:38
hope
34:38
for
34:39
eternity
34:39
that
34:40
one
34:41
great
34:41
day
34:42
in
34:42
the
34:42
future
34:42
all
34:43
suffering
34:44
is
34:44
gone
34:44
all
34:45
sin
34:46
is
34:46
gone
34:46
and
34:48
we
34:48
will
34:48
live
34:48
with
34:48
Christ
34:48
forever.
34:50
Think
34:50
about
34:50
the
34:50
first
34:51
few
34:51
verses
34:51
of
34:51
Revelation
34:52
21
34:52
then
34:54
I
34:54
saw
34:54
a
34:54
new
34:54
heaven
34:54
and
34:55
a
34:55
new
34:55
earth
34:55
for
34:56
the
34:56
first
34:56
heaven
34:56
and
34:57
the
34:57
first
34:57
earth
34:57
had
34:58
passed
34:58
away
34:58
and
34:58
the
34:58
sea
34:59
was
34:59
no
34:59
more
34:59
and
35:00
I
35:00
saw
35:01
the
35:01
holy
35:01
city
35:01
new
35:02
Jerusalem
35:02
coming
35:02
down
35:03
out
35:03
of
35:03
heaven
35:03
from
35:03
God
35:04
prepared
35:04
as
35:05
a
35:05
bride
35:05
adorned
35:06
for
35:06
her
35:06
husband
35:06
and
35:07
I
35:07
heard
35:08
a
35:08
loud
35:08
voice
35:08
from
35:09
the
35:09
throne
35:09
saying
35:09
behold
35:10
the
35:10
dwelling
35:10
place
35:10
of
35:11
God
35:11
is
35:11
with
35:12
man
35:12
he
35:14
will
35:14
dwell
35:14
with
35:14
them
35:15
and
35:15
they
35:15
will
35:15
be
35:15
his
35:15
people
35:16
and
35:16
God
35:16
himself
35:17
will
35:18
be
35:18
with
35:19
them
35:19
as
35:19
their
35:19
God
35:20
he
35:20
will
35:20
wipe
35:21
away
35:21
every
35:21
tear
35:22
from
35:22
their
35:22
eyes
35:22
and
35:23
death
35:23
shall
35:23
be
35:23
no
35:23
more
35:24
neither
35:25
shall
35:25
there
35:25
be
35:25
mourning
35:26
nor
35:26
crying
35:27
nor
35:27
pain
35:27
anymore
35:28
for
35:28
the
35:29
former
35:29
things
35:29
have
35:29
passed
35:30
away
35:30
and
35:31
we
35:31
could
35:31
keep
35:31
going
35:32
but
35:33
for
35:33
now
35:33
I'll
35:33
stop
35:33
there
35:34
and
35:34
just
35:34
think
35:34
about
35:34
the
35:34
great
35:35
hope
35:35
we
35:36
have
35:36
the
35:36
dwelling
35:37
place
35:37
of
35:37
our
35:37
God
35:38
is
35:38
with
35:38
!
35:38
He
35:39
will
35:39
!
35:39
!
35:39
!
35:39
We
35:39
will
35:39
be
35:40
his
35:40
people
35:40
and
35:41
we'll
35:41
be
35:41
together
35:42
no
35:43
more
35:43
suffering
35:44
no
35:44
more
35:44
sin
35:44
he
35:46
will
35:46
redeem
35:46
Israel
35:47
from
35:48
all
35:48
his
35:49
iniquities
35:49
and
35:50
so
35:50
out
35:51
of
35:51
the
35:51
depths
35:51
we
35:51
hope
35:52
when
35:53
we're
35:53
stuck
35:54
in
35:54
the
35:54
sorrow
35:54
of
35:55
our
35:55
sin
35:55
the
35:56
depths
35:56
of
35:56
our
35:56
sin
35:56
we
35:57
should
35:57
know
35:58
that
35:58
we
35:58
don't
35:58
have
35:59
to
35:59
stay
35:59

Augustine
36:01
once
36:01
said
36:02
about
36:03
verse
36:03
one
36:03
but
36:04
when
36:04
he
36:04
crieth
36:04
from
36:05
the
36:05
deep
36:05
he
36:06
riseth
36:06
from
36:07
the
36:07
deep
36:07
and
36:07
his
36:08
very
36:08
cry
36:09
suffereth
36:09
him
36:09
not
36:09
to
36:10
be
36:10
long
36:10
at
36:11
the
36:11
bottom
36:11
even
36:13
in
36:13
the
36:13
depths
36:13
of
36:13
our
36:14
sorrow
36:14
over
36:15
our
36:15
sin
36:15
we
36:16
should
36:16
have
36:16
such
36:16
great
36:17
hope
36:17
knowing
36:17
that
36:18
we
36:18
are
36:18
fully
36:18
accepted
36:20
in
36:20
Christ
36:21
knowing
36:22
that
36:22
the
36:22
Lord
36:22
will
36:23
one
36:23
day
36:23
fully
36:24
sanctify
36:24
us
36:24
make
36:25
us
36:25
fully
36:25
free
36:25
from
36:26
sin
36:26
we
36:27
can
36:27
say
36:27
with
36:27
Paul
36:28
wretched
36:29
man
36:29
that I
36:29
am
36:30
who
36:30
will
36:30
deliver
36:30
me
36:30
from
36:30
this
36:31
body
36:31
of
36:31
death
36:31
thanks
36:33
be
36:33
to
36:33
God
36:33
through
36:34
Christ
36:34
Jesus
36:35
our
36:35
Lord
36:35
and
36:36
one
36:37
day
36:37
we
36:37
will
36:37
live
36:37
together
36:38
forever
36:38
with
36:39
him
36:39
so
36:40
when
36:40
we're
36:40
in
36:40
the
36:40
depths
36:41
when
36:41
we
36:41
feel
36:42
the
36:43
weight
36:43
of
36:43
our
36:43
sin
36:44
let's
36:44
cry
36:45
to
36:45
the
36:45
Lord
36:46
let's
36:47
watch
36:47
and
36:47
wait
36:48
for
36:48
him
36:49
and
36:49
let's
36:49
take
36:50
great
36:50
hope
36:50
knowing
36:51
that
36:51
on
36:51
our
36:52
own
36:52
if
36:53
our
36:53
sin
36:53
was
36:53
counted
36:53
against
36:54
us
36:54
none
36:54
of
36:55
us
36:55
could
36:55
stand
36:56
but
36:57
with
36:57
the
36:57
Lord
36:57
there
36:57
is
36:57
such
36:58
great
36:58
forgiveness
36:59
quoting
37:01
Dane
37:01
Ortlund
37:01
again
37:01
look
37:03
to
37:03
Christ
37:03
he
37:04
deals
37:04
gently
37:04
with
37:05
you
37:05
it's
37:06
the
37:06
only
37:06
way
37:06
he
37:07
knows
37:07
how
37:07
to
37:07
be
37:08
he

37:12
your

attention
37:12
on
37:13
your
37:13
sin
37:13
you
37:13
will
37:13
fail

37:14
how
37:14
you
37:14
can
37:15
be
37:15
safe
37:15
but
37:16
as

this

you
37:20
can
37:20
be
37:20
in
37:20
danger
37:21
looking
37:22
inside
37:22
ourselves
37:23
we
37:23
can
37:23
anticipate
37:24
only
37:24
harshness
37:25
from
37:25
heaven
37:25
looking
37:26
out
37:26
to
37:27
Christ
37:27
we

more
37:38
time
37:38
in

of the
37:42

for
37:50
mercy
37:51
if
37:52
you
37:52
oh

Lord
37:53
should
37:53
mark
37:53
iniquities

oh
