1
\n00:00:13,840 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to Good Chris Selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

2
\n00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:17,320
\nI’m Levi.
\nAnd I’m Chris. <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:17,560 –> 00:00:19,480
\nAnd I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:19,480 –> 00:00:23,080
\nweek on this podcast.
\nWe select one Talk a week to <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:23,080 –> 00:00:26,200
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News feed. <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:28,520
\nWe post a new episode at the
\nstart of each week. <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:28,920 –> 00:00:31,520
\nWith the short intro beforehand
\nto kind of set the stage for the<\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:31,520 –> 00:00:35,400
\ntalk you’re about to listen to.
\nAnd now, let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:35,400 –> 00:00:52,200
\nthis week’s talk.
\nSo as Levi mentioned in his <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:52,200 –> 00:00:55,720
\nintroduction last week.
\nI have been working through some<\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:55,720 –> 00:00:59,920
\nold tapes that I have collected,
\nmostly from my grandfather, some<\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:59,960 –> 00:01:03,680
\nold talks and have been
\nconverting them into digital to <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,680 –> 00:01:06,040
\nbe able to share.
\nThis talk that we’re listening <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:06,040 –> 00:01:09,040
\nto this week is an exhortation
\nby Brother Brian Luke that was <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:09,040 –> 00:01:11,720
\ngiven at the Ottawa Bible School
\nback in 1997. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:16,000
\nIs one of those tapes what I
\nreally appreciate about this? <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:20,360
\nAnd Brother Luke is taking an
\nexhortation looking at Psalm 61.<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:21,240 –> 00:01:26,080
\nPsalm 61 is one of the psalms of
\nDavid talking about some of the <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:26,080 –> 00:01:29,600
\nchallenges that David had over
\nthe stages of his life. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:30,080 –> 00:01:35,160
\nAnd I know sometimes when we do
\ntalks on the podcast, they can <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:35,160 –> 00:01:38,680
\nsometimes be tailored to one
\nstage of life or one age group <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:38,760 –> 00:01:40,720
\nmore than the other.
\nThat’s just kind of the nature <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:40,720 –> 00:01:44,120
\nof whether it’s how the speaker
\nis presenting, what age they’re <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:44,120 –> 00:01:46,760
\nin or what phase of life they’re
\nin, or even just the topic that <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:46,760 –> 00:01:50,320
\nthey’re focusing on.
\nWhat I really appreciated about <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:50,320 –> 00:01:54,480
\nBrother Brian’s talk and what he
\ntook out of this expectation and<\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:54,480 –> 00:01:58,720
\nfrom just the 8 verses that are
\nin Psalm 61, is he found calls <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:58,720 –> 00:02:03,360
\nto actions and lessons for every
\nstage of life, whether you’re <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:03,720 –> 00:02:07,960
\nyoung, middle-aged, older and
\nsort of a call to action to each<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:11,039
\nof them.
\nAnd also a reminder to those of <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:11,039 –> 00:02:14,760
\nus that are in different stages
\nthan the stage he’s talking to <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:14,760 –> 00:02:19,000
\nof what to appreciate about.
\nThose that are in that stage. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:19,240 –> 00:02:22,840
\nSo whether you are in the early
\nstages of your life or you’re <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:22,840 –> 00:02:25,320
\nmore in the middle age stage or
\nyou’re in the later stages of <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:25,320 –> 00:02:27,920
\nyour life.
\nTo appreciate the stage that <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:27,920 –> 00:02:31,240
\nyou’re in now.
\nBut also appreciate those that <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:31,240 –> 00:02:35,280
\nare in other stages and how that
\nshould all work together to make<\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:35,280 –> 00:02:38,920
\na cohesive group.
\nAnd what our ecclesial life <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:38,920 –> 00:02:41,840
\nshould be and where the
\nstrengths are for all of those <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:41,840 –> 00:02:44,960
\nstages and how we form together
\nto be this unified body of <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:44,960 –> 00:02:47,440
\nChrist.
\nI really enjoyed this <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:47,440 –> 00:02:49,120
\nexhortation.
\nThere’s a lot of fun Nuggets. <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:49,120 –> 00:02:53,040
\nHe does some really neat little
\nBible Nuggets, which at this <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:53,040 –> 00:02:55,400
\npoint many of you may know I
\nenjoy. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:55,720 –> 00:02:59,440
\nWhere he pulls little Nuggets of
\nbits of stories out of the story<\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:59,440 –> 00:03:03,200
\nof David and connects it to the
\ntime frame when this song was <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:03,200 –> 00:03:07,040
\nlikely written.
\nAnd pulls really interesting <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:07,160 –> 00:03:09,840
\ndetails That goes one level
\ndeeper than sort of the surface <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:09,840 –> 00:03:12,240
\nlevel reading that we often get,
\nespecially with a story like <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:12,240 –> 00:03:15,600
\nDavid’s where we’ve potentially
\nstudied it. <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:16,800 –> 00:03:19,520
\nHundreds of times in our
\nlifetimes and still to be able <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:19,520 –> 00:03:22,560
\nto find some new nugget about
\nit, I found to be really, really<\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:26,240
\npowerful.
\nSo I hope that you enjoy this <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:26,320 –> 00:03:29,760
\nand we have other suggestions,
\nrecommendations coming down the <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:29,760 –> 00:03:31,840
\nPike.
\nBut this was one that I listened<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:34,120
\nto and felt it was really
\nspecial and wanted to share it <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:34,120 –> 00:03:38,680
\nand sort of resurface it from
\nback in the annals of history. <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:38,680 –> 00:03:41,480
\nEven though 1997 doesn’t feel
\nlike it was that long ago, but <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:41,480 –> 00:03:45,840
\nat this point it is so.
\nWhich makes me feel like I’m <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:49,080
\ncloser to the middle to end
\nstages of my life than the early<\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:51,600
\nstages of my life.
\nBut there we are. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:51,600 –> 00:03:54,880
\nSo I hope that you enjoyed this
\nexhortation by Brother Brian <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:54,880 –> 00:03:57,600
\nLuke that he gave at Iowa back
\nin 1997. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:58,280 –> 00:04:02,280
\nAgain, his exhortation is taken
\nfrom Psalms Chapter 61. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:02,600 –> 00:04:06,160
\nIn that Psalm, or the first of
\nthe two psalms that we read this<\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:06,160 –> 00:04:13,760
\nmorning, Psalm 61, we have these
\nvery beautiful words. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:15,320 –> 00:04:20,680
\nHear my cry, O God, attend unto
\nmy prayer. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:23,400 –> 00:04:30,040
\nFrom the end of the.
\nEarth will I cry unto thee 1 <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:30,040 –> 00:04:33,880
\nextremity or another when my
\nheart is overwhelmed? <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:35,480 –> 00:04:38,200
\nLead me to the Rock.
\nThat is higher than I. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:42,080 –> 00:04:43,800
\nIt’s quite remarkable statement,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:44,800 –> 00:04:49,680
\nGod is visualized as a rock, a
\nzur an elevated. <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:49,840 –> 00:04:52,480
\nRock.
\nThat has. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:53,280 –> 00:04:59,600
\nNothing that can be brought.
\nAgainst it, by man when he’s in <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:00,360 –> 00:05:04,840
\nfaraway places.
\nWhen he’s in the midst. <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:04,880 –> 00:05:10,560
\nOf overwhelming problems lead.
\nMe to the Rock. <\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:17,920
\nThat is higher than I.
\nBeautiful words, but that’s not <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:17,920 –> 00:05:19,760
\nwhat we always do, isn’t.
\nIt. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:20,840 –> 00:05:23,560
\nThe Apostle Paul has a little.
\nComment in Hebrews 12 when he <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:23,560 –> 00:05:30,480
\ntalks about matters that are too
\nhigh for us, too great, and he <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:30,480 –> 00:05:31,360
\nsays.
\nThat in the midst. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:31,360 –> 00:05:34,760
\nOf our trials.
\nWe are to be exercised. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:34,760 –> 00:05:36,160
\nThereby.
\nIt’s a realm. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:36,160 –> 00:05:38,360
\nIs the.
\nKey phrase of that little <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:38,360 –> 00:05:43,000
\nsection in Hebrews 12.
\nBecause sometimes in life we do.<\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:43,000 –> 00:05:45,040
\nHave our.
\nTrials that come and sometimes <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:45,040 –> 00:05:50,200
\nthick and fast one upon another.
\nAnd there’s two ways to. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:50,200 –> 00:05:53,880
\nTry and meet that.
\nIsn’t there one way is that we? <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:54,560 –> 00:05:55,320
\nWe.
\nFight it out. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:55,320 –> 00:06:00,080
\nOurselves, we say we’ve got all
\nthese problems here, these <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:00,080 –> 00:06:03,640
\ndifficulties, and we’ve got only
\na certain amount of time and so <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:03,640 –> 00:06:05,560
\nwe.
\nWe put our concentration upon <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:05,560 –> 00:06:09,840
\nthat, and we bring our our
\npowers to be upon that. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:10,320 –> 00:06:12,400
\nAnd we work our way through all
\nthose problems. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:13,640 –> 00:06:16,840
\nAnd there’s no question that.
\nThere needs to be some <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:16,840 –> 00:06:21,000
\nresilience of our own mind and
\nspirit and the things that we’re<\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:25,680
\ndoing.
\nBut the Apostle Paul says that <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:25,680 –> 00:06:29,560
\nin the midst of our difficulties
\nwe are to be exercised. <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:29,560 –> 00:06:35,600
\nThereby what does that mean?
\nExercise thereby. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:36,480 –> 00:06:38,600
\nHe says there is something in
\nthe midst of our. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:42,200
\nDifficulties that we.
\nNeed to be thinking upon we’re <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:42,200 –> 00:06:44,160
\ngoing to come out of this with
\nbenefit. <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:46,160 –> 00:06:51,680
\nThey can be a value.
\nThey can be a tremendous value <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:52,960 –> 00:06:55,720
\nif we are exercised in the midst
\nof. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:55,720 –> 00:06:57,640
\nThem.
\nSome people don’t do that. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:57,640 –> 00:06:58,680
\nA lot of.
\nUs don’t do that. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:58,920 –> 00:07:01,360
\nIn time of difficulty.
\nWe might rely upon our. <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:01,360 –> 00:07:03,480
\nPurse we might rely upon our
\nmind, we might. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:03,680 –> 00:07:05,800
\nRely upon our memory, we might.
\nRely upon. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:06,360 –> 00:07:09,040
\nOur natural charisma with
\npeople, or whatever it might be <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:09,040 –> 00:07:13,280
\nto work our way.
\nA perception of circumstances. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:13,920 –> 00:07:19,800
\nWeave through when he speaks.
\nAbout being exercised by. <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:20,680 –> 00:07:25,680
\nThe chastening of the Lord.
\nHe’s talking about people who <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:25,680 –> 00:07:30,040
\ntruly take it to God.
\nThey take it to God and the. <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:35,280
\nThe prayer of their bedroom or
\nthe prayer of their study on <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:35,280 –> 00:07:39,280
\ntheir finding God in a place
\nlike this high up on the <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:39,280 –> 00:07:45,560
\nmountain, finding quiet little
\nspots to. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:46,400 –> 00:07:48,600
\nOvercome the.
\nDifficulties that all of us <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:49,160 –> 00:07:55,320
\nbring to our Sunday morning.
\nWhen I was younger, I wasn’t so <\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:55,320 –> 00:08:00,080
\nsure that that was the case.
\nI don’t think probably a lot of <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:00,320 –> 00:08:03,800
\nour young men and women this
\nmorning would sort of be touched<\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:03,800 –> 00:08:06,600
\nby the concept of of afflictions
\nand trials. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:06,600 –> 00:08:12,080
\nBut as life moves on, you began
\nto realize how true that is. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:12,120 –> 00:08:14,800
\nThere are many people every
\nSunday morning, aren’t there, <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:16,040 –> 00:08:20,400
\nwho bring their different
\nconcerns to the table of <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:24,640
\nremembrance, something problems
\nof weariness. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:26,000 –> 00:08:30,280
\nConstantly tired, constantly
\nweary, others of of sickness, <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:30,320 –> 00:08:32,120
\nothers of pain.
\nThere’ll be some people in this <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:32,120 –> 00:08:33,720
\naudience this morning.
\nThat are never. <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:33,720 –> 00:08:37,799
\nFree from pain.
\nWhilst the most of us, if we’ve <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:37,799 –> 00:08:39,120
\ngot the slightest.
\nTouch of pain. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:39,120 –> 00:08:40,640
\nWe run to get the Aspro, don’t
\nwe? <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:42,159 –> 00:08:44,960
\nGive us a coating.
\nGive us a Aspro whatever, <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:46,800 –> 00:08:50,920
\nbecause we don’t like putting up
\nwith pain, but some of us will <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:50,920 –> 00:08:56,560
\nhave pain all day, tops.
\nMakes us stop and think, doesn’t<\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:56,560 –> 00:08:57,840
\nit?
\nSome of us come. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:58,080 –> 00:09:01,160
\nWith our problems, because we
\nare concerned about of our <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:01,160 –> 00:09:05,400
\nfamily, we can see the marks.
\nThat the world is putting upon <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:05,400 –> 00:09:07,200
\nour children and grieves,
\ndoesn’t it? <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:08,720 –> 00:09:12,480
\nThere’s not that lovely rapport
\nthat there should be, so we <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:12,480 –> 00:09:13,840
\ngrieve.
\nAbout that we wonder if. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:13,840 –> 00:09:16,240
\nIf this child is going.
\nTo come to the truth or not, are<\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:16,720 –> 00:09:18,880
\nthey for God, or are they going
\nto be swept? <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:18,880 –> 00:09:23,800
\nAway in the world, some have
\nmade decisions. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:25,040 –> 00:09:28,960
\nTo grieve our hearts, They’re
\nnot here this morning. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:29,400 –> 00:09:31,840
\nI’d love them to be here.
\nThere’s somewhere else out <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:31,840 –> 00:09:34,680
\nplaying golf, baseball and
\nforgotten what their Sunday <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:34,680 –> 00:09:37,640
\nschool taught.
\nOthers. <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:37,640 –> 00:09:41,480
\nBeing problems of their own
\nrelationship to each other, but <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:41,480 –> 00:09:44,000
\nmany of us this morning.
\nThat would know people that are <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:44,000 –> 00:09:45,760
\nin those circumstances.
\nPerhaps they’re not here this <\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:45,760 –> 00:09:48,400
\nmorning but to this Sunday
\nmorning meeting in different <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:48,400 –> 00:09:49,920
\nparts of the earth and here this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:52,440
\nThere are all kinds of.
\nThings that come, aren’t they? <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:53,720 –> 00:09:55,280
\nYou’re a real issue.
\nSomething that they. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:55,520 –> 00:09:58,400
\nAre no longer loved in their
\necclesial environment. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:59,440 –> 00:10:01,120
\nSome are concerned because their
\njob is. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:01,120 –> 00:10:03,040
\nHanging by a slender.
\nThread. <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:03,080 –> 00:10:09,080
\nWhat would they do then?
\nSo may be in ruin of business <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:09,920 –> 00:10:14,600
\nconcerns occupying your minds
\nfrom the end of the earth will I<\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:14,600 –> 00:10:18,960
\ncry unto thee when my heart is
\noverwhelmed. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:22,320 –> 00:10:24,080
\nAnd you can’t fight it any
\nlonger. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:26,640 –> 00:10:28,760
\nLead me to the rock that is
\nhigher than I. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:29,840 –> 00:10:33,920
\nBeautiful words, aren’t they?
\nWhat do you think? <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:33,920 –> 00:10:37,040
\nDavid sketched these words
\nbecause it is David’s Psalm. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:37,240 –> 00:10:40,480
\nPsalm 61.
\nIt says that in the <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:40,480 –> 00:10:45,680
\nsuperscription, doesn’t it?
\nWell, let’s just. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:46,160 –> 00:10:51,760
\nPiece out the little evidences.
\nOf the circumstances of David <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:51,760 –> 00:10:55,600
\nwhen he wrote it, obviously
\nverses one and two mean that he <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:55,600 –> 00:11:01,240
\nwas in a time of desperation.
\nYou know, most of the Psalms are<\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:01,240 –> 00:11:02,880
\nwritten at that time.
\nThey’re not written when <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:02,880 –> 00:11:04,960
\nsomebody was in armchair.
\nComfort. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:04,960 –> 00:11:06,880
\nWith the air.
\nConditioner going carpet on the.<\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:06,880 –> 00:11:08,680
\nFloor and everything pretty
\nright. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:09,120 –> 00:11:10,520
\nNone of the psalms are written
\nlike that. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:12,000 –> 00:11:14,360
\nIf we don’t therefore have some
\ncircumstances that. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:14,360 –> 00:11:15,560
\nReally put.
\nThe pressure on us? <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:15,840 –> 00:11:17,920
\nWe may never know.
\nWhat the Psalms are about, eh? <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:19,960 –> 00:11:23,240
\nIt’s really only in desperation
\nthat almost all of the Psalms <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:23,240 –> 00:11:27,000
\nare written.
\nYou take 63 Oh God, Thou art my <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:27,000 –> 00:11:31,120
\nGod, early will I seek thee.
\nMy soul festeth for thee. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:31,320 –> 00:11:32,840
\nThat’s not armchair comfort, is
\nit? <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:33,280 –> 00:11:37,680
\nThat’s a person under pressure.
\nTruly my soul waiteth upon God. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:37,840 –> 00:11:41,440
\nFrom him cometh my salvation.
\nHe only is my rock and my <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:44,480
\nsalvation my defence.
\nI shall not be greatly moved. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:46,400 –> 00:11:48,280
\nIt’s not a man out on a golf
\ncourse, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:50,760 –> 00:11:53,360
\nIt’s a person whose relationship
\nwith God is real. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:53,360 –> 00:11:55,560
\nAnd tangible.
\nThat’s his life. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:56,520 –> 00:11:58,840
\nHe wants to find God in the
\nmidst of the circumstances in <\/p>\n

190
\n00:11:58,840 –> 00:12:00,480
\nwhich he’s learned.
\nThese are tremendous. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:00,480 –> 00:12:01,920
\nInspirations.
\nThese Psalms, aren’t they? <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:02,680 –> 00:12:07,160
\nHow many times in David’s life
\ndid he have circumstances that <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:07,160 –> 00:12:10,080
\nevoke thoughts like that?
\nHow many times in our lives, my <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:10,080 –> 00:12:12,680
\ndear friends?
\nHave we had circumstances like <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:12,680 –> 00:12:15,360
\nthat?
\nYeah, then perhaps. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:16,000 –> 00:12:17,880
\nBut this man had much of it in
\nhis life. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:19,280 –> 00:12:20,920
\nBut because of that, we had this
\nrich. <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:20,920 –> 00:12:25,240
\nTreasure of the.
\nPsalms to help us to find our <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:25,240 –> 00:12:27,160
\nGod.
\nSo it’s a time of desperation. <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:27,600 –> 00:12:32,200
\nVerse 6 indicates that it was a.
\nTime in his reign. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:32,960 –> 00:12:37,240
\nIt was not in his earlier days
\nwhen, in a desperation, for <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:37,240 –> 00:12:40,360
\nexample, he fled from Seoul.
\nIt’s in the. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:40,520 –> 00:12:44,640
\nTime of his.
\nReign or prolong the King’s <\/p>\n

204
\n00:12:44,640 –> 00:12:49,560
\nlife.
\nIt seems verse 5 to be after the<\/p>\n

205
\n00:12:49,560 –> 00:12:52,920
\nconquest of the land.
\nThou hast given me the. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:12:52,920 –> 00:12:56,400
\nHeritage.
\nOf those that fear thy name, <\/p>\n

207
\n00:12:57,880 –> 00:13:05,400
\nDavid’s in great occupation.
\nVerse 6 implies that his his <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:05,400 –> 00:13:10,080
\nyears are getting on.
\nThey’ll prolong the King’s life <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:11,240 –> 00:13:13,000
\nthat his years as many
\ngenerations. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:16,280 –> 00:13:21,480
\nVerse 2 implies that in fact he
\nis far off from where he <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:21,480 –> 00:13:23,680
\nnormally might be.
\nHe’s not in Jerusalem from the <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:23,680 –> 00:13:26,880
\nend of the earth.
\nWill I cry unto thee. <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:28,960 –> 00:13:31,600
\nWe put those little bits and
\npieces together. <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:32,240 –> 00:13:37,240
\nIt falls out to Absalom’s
\nperiod, time of desperation <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:37,640 –> 00:13:43,920
\noutside of Jerusalem, the time
\nof his reign enemies against <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:43,920 –> 00:13:49,880
\nhim.
\nIn his older years, after he’s <\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:49,880 –> 00:13:51,440
\nbeen in occupation.
\nOf the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:54,720 –> 00:13:59,800
\nNow let’s look at the Psalm 6262
\nverse two. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:01,280 –> 00:14:03,920
\nHe only is my rock and my
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:03,920 –> 00:14:05,600
\nHe is my.
\nDefense I shall not be. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:05,600 –> 00:14:09,400
\nGreatly moved.
\nThat’s the same as verse 7 of <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:09,400 –> 00:14:11,480
\n62.
\nIn God. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:11,480 –> 00:14:14,800
\nIs my salvation and my glory the
\nrock of my strength and my <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:14,800 –> 00:14:17,960
\nrefuge.
\nIs in God or verse? <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:17,960 –> 00:14:20,160
\nSix.
\nHe only is my rock’s very. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:20,160 –> 00:14:21,760
\nWords and my.
\nSalvation. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:21,920 –> 00:14:23,880
\nHe is my defense.
\nI shall not be moved. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:25,960 –> 00:14:27,960
\nBut look again at verses 6 and
\nseven. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:29,360 –> 00:14:32,760
\nAnd are they not in fact
\nfashioned upon verse two and <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:32,760 –> 00:14:37,000
\nthree of 61?
\nIt’s the same theme, the same <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:37,000 –> 00:14:39,000
\nwords in the Hebrew.
\nThey’re being used over and over<\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:39,000 –> 00:14:41,800
\nagain.
\nAnd so we can see. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:14:41,800 –> 00:14:43,560
\nThat why these?
\nTwo psalms have been put. <\/p>\n

234
\n00:14:43,560 –> 00:14:45,680
\nTogether, because they are
\nintimately. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:14:45,680 –> 00:14:49,760
\nRelated, it’s the same.
\nPeriod of David’s life is the <\/p>\n

236
\n00:14:49,760 –> 00:14:54,000
\nlogical conclusion from that,
\nand as we saw in 63 in the <\/p>\n

237
\n00:14:54,000 –> 00:14:55,440
\nsuperscription, that was a
\nPsalm. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:14:55,440 –> 00:14:56,800
\nWhen he was in the.
\nWilderness of Judah. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:14:56,800 –> 00:14:58,720
\nAnd so we can see what the
\npsalmist has done. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:14:59,000 –> 00:15:03,400
\nOr what the psalter has done.
\nHe has put these together <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:04,800 –> 00:15:09,800
\nbecause they belong together.
\nAnd as we build up that little <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:12,400
\npicture together, we are
\ntherefore able to walk into <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:12,400 –> 00:15:15,920
\nDavid’s life and the
\ncircumstances of that rebellion <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:15,920 –> 00:15:21,880
\nof Absalom.
\nAnd we can see that is where <\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:21,880 –> 00:15:28,040
\nDavid is in his mind.
\nVerse 3 of 62 was another key <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:28,040 –> 00:15:30,400
\npoint.
\nHow long will you imagine <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:30,400 –> 00:15:34,760
\nmischief against a man?
\nHe shall be slain all of you, or<\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:34,760 –> 00:15:38,600
\nas the RSV says, remember the
\nchanged translation critical. <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:43,240
\nChange it says.
\nInstead of ye shall be. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:15:43,240 –> 00:15:48,840
\nSlain all of you, it says How?
\nLong will you imagine mischief <\/p>\n

251
\n00:15:48,840 –> 00:15:52,280
\nagainst a man to shatter him,
\nall of you. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:15:53,680 –> 00:15:57,040
\nTo shatter him.
\nAs a bowing wall shall he be, <\/p>\n

253
\n00:15:57,080 –> 00:15:59,960
\nand as a tottering fence,
\nthey’re going to push over the <\/p>\n

254
\n00:15:59,960 –> 00:16:02,720
\nold fence.
\nThat was termed you’d used of <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:02,720 –> 00:16:06,560
\nDavid when he was in the midst
\nof his of his alacrity. <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:06,560 –> 00:16:10,200
\nAnd skill and and quickness of
\nmind and body is it? <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:10,800 –> 00:16:12,240
\nThis is an old man.
\nYou feel as though you could <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:12,240 –> 00:16:17,040
\njust push him over.
\nVerse four, they only consult to<\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:17,040 –> 00:16:20,320
\ncast him down from His Eminence
\nas the. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:20,680 –> 00:16:23,360
\nRevised Standard Version puts
\nhim not His Excellency. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:23,600 –> 00:16:26,800
\nBut his eminence he’s in.
\nHe’s in a high state of. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:27,480 –> 00:16:28,520
\nOf his.
\nHis. <\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:28,520 –> 00:16:32,320
\nReign and of his Kingdom.
\nThese men are consulting to cast<\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:32,320 –> 00:16:35,080
\nhim down from that.
\nSo the time period of David’s <\/p>\n

265
\n00:16:35,080 –> 00:16:38,000
\nlife is clear when you put those
\nfactors all. <\/p>\n

266
\n00:16:38,000 –> 00:16:41,560
\nTogether, it comes out to the
\ntime that we’ve been able to <\/p>\n

267
\n00:16:41,560 –> 00:16:44,680
\nlook at today.
\nThere in the record. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:16:44,680 –> 00:16:49,960
\nOf second Samuel is the the
\noutward story, and in these <\/p>\n

269
\n00:16:49,960 –> 00:16:53,160
\nPsalms we have the heart of the
\nman. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:56,760
\nIsn’t that a treasure?
\nWhat a wonderful thing the Bible<\/p>\n

271
\n00:16:56,760 –> 00:17:00,040
\nis that it tells us the mind and
\nheart. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:01,240 –> 00:17:03,480
\nWhat an amazing thing, this.
\nMorning that we are here <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:03,720 –> 00:17:13,079
\nrejoicing in that Americans and
\nAustralians and others that have<\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:13,079 –> 00:17:15,640
\ncome from.
\nSophisticated countries in the <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:15,680 –> 00:17:20,800
\nlate 1990s, with all the things
\nthat we’ve got too many, too <\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:24,359
\nmany altogether, but we can come
\nand look right. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:24,359 –> 00:17:27,119
\nIn and.
\nAnd enthuse and wonder. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:27,839 –> 00:17:31,880
\nAt the mind of one of one of the
\nservants of God so many years, <\/p>\n

279
\n00:17:31,880 –> 00:17:35,880
\n3000 years ago.
\nGod has just opened it up for us<\/p>\n

280
\n00:17:36,920 –> 00:17:38,600
\nall it needs, all it’s waiting
\nfor us. <\/p>\n

281
\n00:17:38,840 –> 00:17:45,320
\nIs to sit still and come and
\nthink about to enter into that <\/p>\n

282
\n00:17:46,120 –> 00:17:50,000
\nmarvelous security from the end.
\nOf the earth. <\/p>\n

283
\n00:17:50,000 –> 00:17:54,000
\nWill I cry unto thee when my
\nheart is overwhelmed? <\/p>\n

284
\n00:17:55,560 –> 00:17:58,760
\nLead me to the rock that is
\nhigher than I, for thou has been<\/p>\n

285
\n00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:01,480
\na shelter for me and a strong
\ntower. <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:01,600 –> 00:18:04,880
\nFrom the enemy, look at the
\ncollection of terms that are <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:04,880 –> 00:18:06,480
\ninvolved there.
\nI will. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:06,520 –> 00:18:09,440
\nAbide in thy Tabernacle.
\nForever I will trust in the <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:09,440 –> 00:18:15,160
\ncovet of thy wings.
\nIs he crossing Jordan when those<\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:15,160 –> 00:18:19,880
\nthoughts came to him?
\nIs he asleep in the Bush before <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:19,880 –> 00:18:22,600
\nhe crossed Jordan?
\nIs somebody? <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:22,600 –> 00:18:24,480
\nHelping him into the boat to go
\nover. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:26,280 –> 00:18:31,880
\nIs he?
\nComing up on the other side when<\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:31,880 –> 00:18:35,600
\nmy heart is overwhelmed, is he?
\nIs he passing by the grave of <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:35,600 –> 00:18:40,440
\nUriah?
\nIn Raba and that. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:18:40,440 –> 00:18:44,440
\nBringing back to him all the
\npast and why these things have <\/p>\n

297
\n00:18:44,440 –> 00:18:47,640
\ncome upon him?
\nIs that what he says in Psalm <\/p>\n

298
\n00:18:47,640 –> 00:18:51,280
\n4041, as he goes Psalm 40?
\nAs he goes past that place, <\/p>\n

299
\n00:18:51,280 –> 00:18:55,960
\nperhaps my sins.
\nAre overcoming me, are swelling <\/p>\n

300
\n00:18:55,960 –> 00:18:57,480
\nover me.
\nThey are numerable. <\/p>\n

301
\n00:18:58,120 –> 00:19:01,960
\nIs there that cogitation in his
\nmind as he brings together all <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:02,080 –> 00:19:07,520
\nthe circumstances of his life?
\nHas he come to May? <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:07,520 –> 00:19:15,480
\nHer name sees the fortress of
\nthe city, and can see and feel <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:15,480 –> 00:19:19,840
\nfar higher than that.
\nThe host of heaven. <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:23,240
\nMay her name 2 hosts cemented,
\nMay her name. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:23,920 –> 00:19:28,680
\nHe had a host.
\nAbsalom had a host that was. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:28,680 –> 00:19:31,360
\nMay her name in Division wasn’t
\nit, But there was. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:31,360 –> 00:19:34,560
\nAnother may her name.
\nThat came from the original. <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:34,560 –> 00:19:37,560
\nSense of the word.
\nWhere the angels of God met <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:37,560 –> 00:19:41,760
\nJacob, there was Jacob’s host.
\nOn the ground there was God’s <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:41,760 –> 00:19:44,640
\nhost.
\nAbove May her name. <\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:45,760 –> 00:19:49,400
\nThat’s the May her name that he
\nhad to concentrate upon, isn’t <\/p>\n

313
\n00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:52,480
\nit?
\nAnd my heart is overwhelmed. <\/p>\n

314
\n00:19:54,120 –> 00:19:57,840
\nLead me to the rock that is
\nhigher than I required. <\/p>\n

315
\n00:19:57,840 –> 00:20:00,760
\nAn act of faith, though.
\nDidn’t the angels went shining <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:00,760 –> 00:20:03,920
\nout in the sky that night.
\nHe had to see it, just like you <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:03,920 –> 00:20:05,640
\nand I did.
\nIn the midst of our. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:05,640 –> 00:20:09,440
\nLife in Los Angeles, San
\nFrancisco, Adelaide, wherever. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:10,480 –> 00:20:14,320
\nCars going past and picturized
\nroads and people with all kinds <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:14,320 –> 00:20:17,160
\nof gadgets.
\nAnd in that kind of life, my <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:17,160 –> 00:20:19,160
\ndear and sisters, the angels are
\nstill working. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:19,160 –> 00:20:22,520
\nThey don’t stop because men have
\nput up big things, big buildings<\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:22,760 –> 00:20:24,280
\nand evidences of their
\ngreatness. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:25,040 –> 00:20:26,960
\nAngels are not persuaded by
\nthose things. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:27,120 –> 00:20:31,400
\nThey’re still operative, still
\nwith us, in the same way. <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:31,560 –> 00:20:35,880
\nBut as David had to see that out
\nthere, trudging along barefoot <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:36,520 –> 00:20:40,760
\nhead, covered the gashes of the
\nshimmy eyes, stone still in his <\/p>\n

328
\n00:20:40,760 –> 00:20:43,200
\nface.
\nIn those circumstances, he had <\/p>\n

329
\n00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:48,080
\nto see the living God and feel
\nhis presence when everything was<\/p>\n

330
\n00:20:48,080 –> 00:20:52,240
\nagainst him, it might seem.
\nThere’s his mind. <\/p>\n

331
\n00:20:52,400 –> 00:20:55,160
\nWonderful, isn’t it?
\nAbsolutely wonderful, you. <\/p>\n

332
\n00:20:55,160 –> 00:20:57,160
\nMeasure our own tribulations
\nagainst that. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:20:58,080 –> 00:21:01,960
\nBegin to think my word, We
\nshould be thankful, whatever our<\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:01,960 –> 00:21:05,920
\ncircumstances, how we ought to
\nthink about our garden, and take<\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:05,920 –> 00:21:09,120
\nhim with us for all the
\nblessings that he daily loads <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:09,120 –> 00:21:13,440
\nupon us.
\nImagine David sending up the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:13,440 –> 00:21:16,920
\nharsh slopes of Gilead.
\nHe’s crossed Jordan and he’s <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:16,920 –> 00:21:19,320
\ncoming up.
\nYou know, that’s tough country. <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:20,120 –> 00:21:22,080
\nIt’s tall country.
\nIt’s rough country. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:22,560 –> 00:21:26,280
\nIt’s tough.
\nAnd it was a reverse where <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:26,280 –> 00:21:28,280
\nJacob.
\nCame he crossed the river Jabak.<\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:28,280 –> 00:21:31,520
\nAs he went after Rabak, he would
\nhave crossed Jabak. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:32,480 –> 00:21:33,520
\nHe would have thought to
\nhimself. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:39,000
\nThat’s where Mahanein got its
\nname, wasn’t it? <\/p>\n

345
\n00:21:41,280 –> 00:21:43,720
\nHe would have thought, I’m going
\nthe opposite direction of Jacob.<\/p>\n

346
\n00:21:44,520 –> 00:21:48,600
\nJacob came into the land, and
\nI’m going up out of the land. <\/p>\n

347
\n00:21:49,560 –> 00:21:56,160
\nThou hast given me the heritage.
\nThose above me, and he was <\/p>\n

348
\n00:21:56,160 –> 00:22:01,080
\nleaving it, but this is what he
\nwas saying inwardly when my <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:01,080 –> 00:22:05,440
\nheart is overwhelmed.
\nLead me to the rock that is <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:05,440 –> 00:22:09,720
\nhigher than I.
\nWe practice this. <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:13,790 –> 00:22:17,910
\nDifferent stages of our life.
\nAnd it becomes easier, my dear <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:17,910 –> 00:22:20,430
\nand sisters, if there is history
\nto fall back upon. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:20,950 –> 00:22:22,990
\nDavid had history to fall back
\nupon. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:23,750 –> 00:22:25,990
\nLook at his thoughts in Psalm
\n27. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:28,030 –> 00:22:29,990
\nThis wasn’t his first.
\nTime in the wilderness, <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:29,990 –> 00:22:32,310
\nremember, he all would have been
\ncoming. <\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:32,310 –> 00:22:38,350
\nBack to him.
\nThe Lord is the is my light and <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:38,350 –> 00:22:43,150
\nmy salvation.
\nWhom shall I fear? <\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:47,480
\nThe Lord is the strength of my
\nlife. <\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:53,560
\nOf whom shall I be afraid?
\nThat’s not armchair comfort, is <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:53,560 –> 00:22:55,120
\nit?
\nThat’s a man who really knows <\/p>\n

362
\n00:22:55,120 –> 00:22:58,920
\nhis God and loves.
\nHis God and God is to him a a <\/p>\n

363
\n00:22:58,920 –> 00:23:01,080
\nready presence, a reality in his
\nlife. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:01,680 –> 00:23:03,280
\nHe’s not always talking with
\npeople. <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:04,080 –> 00:23:09,120
\nHe’s not always about things.
\nHe’s not always seeing the <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:09,120 –> 00:23:11,720
\nthings that are in the roads and
\nseeing the things in the cities <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:12,960 –> 00:23:16,200
\nand all the activities of men.
\nHe’s seeing his God as though he<\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:16,200 –> 00:23:19,640
\ncould touch him and feel him.
\nThe Lord is my light and my <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:19,640 –> 00:23:22,840
\nsalvation, the strength of my
\nlife. <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:24,520 –> 00:23:26,200
\nBut isn’t it doing even the
\nreadings, is it? <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:26,640 –> 00:23:29,440
\nHe’s left the readings and and
\nthe God is in in that is with <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:29,440 –> 00:23:30,760
\nhim.
\nHe’s taken the readings with <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:30,760 –> 00:23:32,880
\nhim.
\nHe’s in his heart and in his <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:32,880 –> 00:23:34,800
\nmind.
\nHe’s shrubbing with his <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:34,800 –> 00:23:37,320
\ndelighting God.
\nWhat a challenge to us, my dear <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:37,320 –> 00:23:39,960
\nfriend and sisters, on the last.
\nMorning of our Bible school. <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:41,040 –> 00:23:42,120
\nLook at all the blessings we’ve
\nhad. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:42,120 –> 00:23:44,880
\nDo we take that with us?
\nIs that spirit with us? <\/p>\n

379
\n00:23:48,160 –> 00:23:52,080
\nPack our, pack our goods, put
\nour children’s things in, pack <\/p>\n

380
\n00:23:52,080 –> 00:23:55,200
\nup all the blankets and so on.
\nAnd it can be all be a matter of<\/p>\n

381
\n00:23:55,200 –> 00:23:56,360
\nfact.
\nAnd some of us can live like <\/p>\n

382
\n00:23:56,360 –> 00:23:58,040
\nthat.
\nWe’re always happy if there’s <\/p>\n

383
\n00:23:58,040 –> 00:24:02,800
\nsomething to do, to do, to do.
\nBut there’s something much <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:02,800 –> 00:24:05,040
\ngreater than that isn’t.
\nIt That’s Bible school’s all <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:05,040 –> 00:24:07,480
\nabout, it’s to be living with
\nGod. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:08,280 –> 00:24:09,320
\nThings.
\nThings. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:09,320 –> 00:24:11,960
\nSo what?
\nWhat God wants is our heart. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:11,960 –> 00:24:16,480
\nWith him, that we could say with
\nDavid Yahweh is the strength of <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:16,480 –> 00:24:20,600
\nmy life.
\nThere’s a motivated man. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:20,920 –> 00:24:23,600
\nHe’s going to go back into
\nBrighton and he’s going to go <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:23,600 –> 00:24:27,640
\nback.
\nInto Los Angeles, wheresoever <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:28,280 –> 00:24:32,120
\ndriven, because he’s come to
\nlove his God and he’ll make some<\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:32,120 –> 00:24:36,400
\nsacrifices.
\nHe and she little notes have <\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:36,400 –> 00:24:39,640
\nbeen made in the mind.
\nNow I’ve got to give away this. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:40,560 –> 00:24:44,520
\nGot to cancel that, got to throw
\nthat out of my home. <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:45,960 –> 00:24:48,040
\nI’ve got to put away those
\nmagazines that are No. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:24:48,040 –> 00:24:51,280
\nGood.
\nI’ve got to put some of those <\/p>\n

398
\n00:24:51,280 –> 00:24:53,920
\nhobbies and other things I’m
\ninterested in that are not <\/p>\n

399
\n00:24:53,920 –> 00:24:57,720
\nhelping me in the way of life.
\nI’ve got to draw near to my <\/p>\n

400
\n00:24:57,720 –> 00:24:59,520
\nchild.
\nThat’s what I’ve got to do. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:00,120 –> 00:25:01,640
\nI see the marks of the world
\nupon him. <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:01,840 –> 00:25:04,080
\nI’ve got to get in there and
\ndraw near to him. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:04,080 –> 00:25:06,520
\nI’ve got to open my heart.
\nMy Sunday school class where <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:06,520 –> 00:25:08,440
\nI’ve got some children that need
\nextra care. <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:08,440 –> 00:25:12,080
\nI’ve got to have to think about
\nthat draw near to them. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:13,360 –> 00:25:15,480
\nThere’s older people in the
\nmeeting that I haven’t spoken to<\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:15,480 –> 00:25:16,200
\nfor a month.
\nI’ve. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:16,760 –> 00:25:21,360
\nGot yet to know them all kinds
\nof resolutions that. <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:21,360 –> 00:25:24,720
\nCan make our our ecclesia
\nsparkle with the fact that we <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:24,720 –> 00:25:30,000
\nknow God.
\nLives though a host of us three <\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:33,920
\nshould encamp against me.
\nMy heart shall not fear, though <\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:33,920 –> 00:25:37,560
\nwar should rise up against me.
\nIn this will I be confident. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:25:38,360 –> 00:25:41,280
\nThe man that strides up the
\nhills of Gilboa is just the same<\/p>\n

414
\n00:25:41,280 –> 00:25:44,000
\nman, isn’t he?
\nHe’s been through it all before.<\/p>\n

415
\n00:25:44,000 –> 00:25:47,400
\nThere was a time when he was he
\nwas at rest here with his little<\/p>\n

416
\n00:25:47,400 –> 00:25:50,920
\ncamp of 600 men, and on the
\nother side of the crag of the <\/p>\n

417
\n00:25:50,920 –> 00:25:55,200
\nmountain there was saw with his
\n3000 men, and he lived like that<\/p>\n

418
\n00:25:55,200 –> 00:25:59,120
\nfor years, just a niche away
\nfrom death. <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:00,120 –> 00:26:04,960
\nHe had learnt to depend upon God
\nand he was again a long way away<\/p>\n

420
\n00:26:04,960 –> 00:26:09,040
\nfrom Jerusalem.
\nHe was in exile from the land <\/p>\n

421
\n00:26:09,040 –> 00:26:11,240
\nthat is far away called unto his
\nGod. <\/p>\n

422
\n00:26:12,000 –> 00:26:14,360
\nOne thing have I desired of the
\nLord this. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:26:14,360 –> 00:26:19,080
\nFor isn’t this our David, our
\nDavid in Mayhenae, now David in <\/p>\n

424
\n00:26:19,320 –> 00:26:21,720
\nin Gilead?
\nOne thing have I desired of the <\/p>\n

425
\n00:26:21,720 –> 00:26:25,720
\nLord that will I seek after that
\nI may dwell in the House of the <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:25,720 –> 00:26:30,000
\nLord all the days of my life to
\nbehold. <\/p>\n

427
\n00:26:30,000 –> 00:26:36,520
\nThe beauty of Yahweh and to
\ninquire in his temple. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:26:37,720 –> 00:26:39,120
\nThere’s a man of God, my dear
\nPrincess. <\/p>\n

429
\n00:26:39,120 –> 00:26:41,080
\nThere are any more beautiful
\nwords in the Bible than that. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:45,560
\nThey’re David’s words.
\nThey’re our David, David after <\/p>\n

431
\n00:26:45,560 –> 00:26:48,920
\nsin.
\nAfter that sheep, that’s exactly<\/p>\n

432
\n00:26:48,920 –> 00:26:49,800
\nhow he still.
\nThinks though? <\/p>\n

433
\n00:26:49,840 –> 00:26:56,280
\nIsn’t he trained in youth?
\nCycles of life came around and <\/p>\n

434
\n00:26:56,280 –> 00:26:58,760
\nit’s picking it all up again.
\nIt’s as though he’s gone back <\/p>\n

435
\n00:26:58,760 –> 00:27:02,640
\nthere, but because he’s left
\ntracks, mental tracks, he’s able<\/p>\n

436
\n00:27:02,640 –> 00:27:05,200
\nto go back to those mental
\ntracks and pick them up again <\/p>\n

437
\n00:27:05,320 –> 00:27:09,560
\nand go along the same path.
\nThe virtue of teaching our <\/p>\n

438
\n00:27:09,560 –> 00:27:13,600
\nchildren, my dear friends, is to
\nserve with us this. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:27:14,080 –> 00:27:16,280
\nThere’s a lot of things that
\nhave been done for this Bible <\/p>\n

440
\n00:27:16,280 –> 00:27:20,720
\nschool and it’s been lovely.
\nTo see lost occasions, your <\/p>\n

441
\n00:27:20,720 –> 00:27:22,480
\nchildren.
\nHurrying around, doing things. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:27:22,480 –> 00:27:24,560
\nIt’s a lovely thing.
\nHighly convenient. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:27:26,080 –> 00:27:29,000
\nWe have those children coming to
\nour tables, happy to serve with <\/p>\n

444
\n00:27:29,000 –> 00:27:30,520
\nthat.
\nAll of them lovely. <\/p>\n

445
\n00:27:30,520 –> 00:27:35,480
\nChildren, any little 1, salt,
\npepper, whatever, run to back <\/p>\n

446
\n00:27:35,480 –> 00:27:37,000
\nand get it somewhat.
\nThat’s excellent. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:27:37,120 –> 00:27:40,240
\nKeep it up.
\nIncorporate them in the work, in<\/p>\n

448
\n00:27:40,240 –> 00:27:44,320
\nthe service, in your ecclesias.
\nDo that chairs to be shifted. <\/p>\n

449
\n00:27:44,320 –> 00:27:45,800
\nCome on children, let’s get on
\nwith this. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:27:46,160 –> 00:27:48,880
\nTeach them to serve.
\nTeaching them to have their <\/p>\n

451
\n00:27:48,880 –> 00:27:51,760
\nbedrooms clean and tidy, because
\nit’s in all these little <\/p>\n

452
\n00:27:51,760 –> 00:27:55,160
\nservices and greater things that
\nthey come to, to make their <\/p>\n

453
\n00:27:55,160 –> 00:27:59,160
\ntracks.
\nService is so critical to it <\/p>\n

454
\n00:27:59,160 –> 00:28:00,280
\ncleats your life.
\nThat’s what it’s. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:28:00,280 –> 00:28:03,240
\nAbout isn’t it he that will come
\nout after me? <\/p>\n

456
\n00:28:03,240 –> 00:28:05,400
\nSays Jesus, let him take up his
\ncrosshair. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:08,920
\nChildren who’ve got to feel that
\nin early life, they don’t get <\/p>\n

458
\n00:28:08,920 –> 00:28:10,640
\nlater on in life and think that
\neverything’s for them. <\/p>\n

459
\n00:28:10,640 –> 00:28:13,080
\nThey’re going to have this, that
\nand the other laid on because <\/p>\n

460
\n00:28:13,080 –> 00:28:15,640
\nwe’ve made them to get up early
\nand to do what they need to do <\/p>\n

461
\n00:28:16,200 –> 00:28:19,120
\nto help us.
\nDavid had been like that. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:28:19,560 –> 00:28:23,160
\nWhere did God take him in his
\nearly years into exile and have <\/p>\n

463
\n00:28:23,160 –> 00:28:25,520
\nto hunt through the the?
\nWilderness of Judah, while an <\/p>\n

464
\n00:28:25,520 –> 00:28:27,600
\nunworthy king sought him from
\nday-to-day. <\/p>\n

465
\n00:28:27,760 –> 00:28:32,320
\nWhy did he do that?
\nSurely deserved more than that. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:28:33,120 –> 00:28:35,640
\nThis was a faithful man right
\nfrom the start, almost. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:28:36,920 –> 00:28:39,520
\nGod called him separately with
\nSamuel and the Lamb, but he came<\/p>\n

468
\n00:28:39,520 –> 00:28:42,080
\nseparately, as though Rob was
\nsaying. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:28:42,240 –> 00:28:44,960
\nI have found him as a special.
\nPerson and he was. <\/p>\n

470
\n00:28:46,000 –> 00:28:48,800
\nBut why did God then take him
\nthrough all those? <\/p>\n

471
\n00:28:48,800 –> 00:28:53,640
\nCircumstances because he will
\ntake him from the sheep coat, <\/p>\n

472
\n00:28:54,240 –> 00:28:59,960
\nfrom following the sheep great
\nwith young and caring for all <\/p>\n

473
\n00:28:59,960 –> 00:29:02,560
\ntheir weaknesses and
\nvicissitudes. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:29:03,400 –> 00:29:07,120
\nYou take him from there to be
\nking over my people Israel, to <\/p>\n

475
\n00:29:07,120 –> 00:29:10,520
\nsit upon the throne.
\nThat’s exactly what we are doing<\/p>\n

476
\n00:29:10,520 –> 00:29:14,160
\nwith our children.
\nDon’t take service from the My <\/p>\n

477
\n00:29:14,160 –> 00:29:16,800
\ndear brothers look at this
\nservice here that he learned <\/p>\n

478
\n00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:20,960
\nhere drew him to his God.
\nDon’t be happy that your <\/p>\n

479
\n00:29:20,960 –> 00:29:23,520
\nchildren.
\nOr mine are in their room by <\/p>\n

480
\n00:29:23,520 –> 00:29:25,400
\nthemselves.
\nLiving their own little life <\/p>\n

481
\n00:29:25,400 –> 00:29:27,000
\nwith their own TV set or
\nsomething. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:29:27,840 –> 00:29:32,280
\nWhat a disaster, unrelated to
\nthe interests of the family. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:29:32,760 –> 00:29:35,280
\nIt happens.
\nI know it happens in a in these <\/p>\n

484
\n00:29:35,280 –> 00:29:37,760
\ndays, because that’s what
\neverybody thinks ought to have <\/p>\n

485
\n00:29:38,960 –> 00:29:42,680
\ngot their own plugs in their
\near, listening to their music as<\/p>\n

486
\n00:29:42,680 –> 00:29:46,280
\nthough it’s some different life
\nto to the life of of yours and <\/p>\n

487
\n00:29:46,280 –> 00:29:51,240
\nof the truth.
\nThe living God got to assess <\/p>\n

488
\n00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:53,360
\nthese things, don’t we?
\nCarefully together, as we’re <\/p>\n

489
\n00:29:53,360 –> 00:29:57,200
\ngoing away from Bible school, so
\nthat our children might learn in<\/p>\n

490
\n00:29:57,200 –> 00:30:03,040
\nearly life a track of faith.
\nOne thing have I desire, that <\/p>\n

491
\n00:30:03,040 –> 00:30:05,800
\nwill I seek after that I may
\ndwell in the House of the Lord, <\/p>\n

492
\n00:30:06,480 –> 00:30:10,320
\nor the days of my life, to
\nbehold the beauty of the Lord, <\/p>\n

493
\n00:30:10,320 –> 00:30:14,280
\nand to inquire in his temple, Is
\nthat any different from? <\/p>\n

494
\n00:30:16,760 –> 00:30:19,480
\nThere has been a shorter for me
\nand a strong tower from the <\/p>\n

495
\n00:30:19,480 –> 00:30:23,320
\nenemy.
\nI will abide in thy Tabernacle <\/p>\n

496
\n00:30:23,320 –> 00:30:27,680
\nforever, said a man in exile.
\nI will trust in the covet of thy<\/p>\n

497
\n00:30:27,680 –> 00:30:31,520
\nwings.
\nIt’s exactly the same thing, <\/p>\n

498
\n00:30:31,520 –> 00:30:33,200
\nisn’t it?
\nHe’s away from the Tabernacle, <\/p>\n

499
\n00:30:33,600 –> 00:30:35,520
\nbut he can see that God is with
\nhim out there. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:30:36,200 –> 00:30:39,080
\nThe Tabernacle is, as it were,
\nstill still move on. <\/p>\n

501
\n00:30:39,080 –> 00:30:42,080
\nAlways is.
\nVoila. <\/p>\n

502
\n00:30:42,400 –> 00:30:46,120
\nIt’s in California.
\nIt’s it’s here at Idlewa, the <\/p>\n

503
\n00:30:46,120 –> 00:30:48,200
\ncovered of God’s.
\nWings is a pulse. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:30:49,040 –> 00:30:53,520
\nHe’s protecting and interested.
\nThe concern for his people is <\/p>\n

505
\n00:30:53,520 –> 00:30:58,400
\nwherever his people.
\nAre it’s the same man that was <\/p>\n

506
\n00:30:58,440 –> 00:31:01,840
\nonce in exile?
\nThat is there again an unchanged<\/p>\n

507
\n00:31:01,840 –> 00:31:04,880
\nbeing?
\nWhat about the middle years? <\/p>\n

508
\n00:31:07,080 –> 00:31:10,640
\nWhat about Bathsheba, Uriah and
\nso on? <\/p>\n

509
\n00:31:10,640 –> 00:31:14,080
\nHow did that ever happen?
\nIt was in his middle years, <\/p>\n

510
\n00:31:14,080 –> 00:31:18,760
\nwasn’t it?
\nAn old brother once probably <\/p>\n

511
\n00:31:18,760 –> 00:31:22,200
\nnever said a word on the
\nplatform, had morning tea with <\/p>\n

512
\n00:31:22,200 –> 00:31:24,680
\nus once at our place of work, my
\nmy brother and I. <\/p>\n

513
\n00:31:25,960 –> 00:31:31,840
\nAnd he was a wise old person as
\nhe was just enjoying our time <\/p>\n

514
\n00:31:31,840 –> 00:31:35,960
\ntogether.
\nHe said, you know Jim and Brian,<\/p>\n

515
\n00:31:35,960 –> 00:31:41,840
\nhe said God has been very good
\nto you, He said You’re now in <\/p>\n

516
\n00:31:41,840 –> 00:31:44,640
\nyour middle years and you’ve got
\nfamily. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:31:45,520 –> 00:31:49,720
\nSo on and so on, he said.
\nA lot of people, when they get <\/p>\n

518
\n00:31:49,720 –> 00:31:52,080
\nto their middle years, ruin
\ntheir lives. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:31:54,560 –> 00:31:58,400
\nHe said be careful that God has
\nblessed you. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:31:58,560 –> 00:32:02,280
\nBe careful not to ruin your
\nmiddle years. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:32:03,440 –> 00:32:05,280
\nHe’s never ever said anything
\nabout that before. <\/p>\n

522
\n00:32:05,960 –> 00:32:10,280
\nHe was just an old sagacious
\nbrother who perceived things, <\/p>\n

523
\n00:32:10,680 –> 00:32:13,000
\nand wisely.
\nHad a word to say. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:32:13,160 –> 00:32:17,040
\nNot a lovely thing.
\nTreasure those words, because we<\/p>\n

525
\n00:32:17,040 –> 00:32:19,200
\ndo get over the.
\nOver the hill, don’t we? <\/p>\n

526
\n00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:22,000
\nI see you out there working with
\nthe little children. <\/p>\n

527
\n00:32:22,000 –> 00:32:24,680
\nI remember it all.
\nIt’s different to be at Bible <\/p>\n

528
\n00:32:24,680 –> 00:32:28,760
\nschool with little children than
\nto be just a couple here isn’t <\/p>\n

529
\n00:32:28,760 –> 00:32:32,080
\nmuch more difficult, much more
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n

530
\n00:32:33,240 –> 00:32:36,800
\nBut you’ve paid off the loan.
\nThe house is yours. <\/p>\n

531
\n00:32:37,080 –> 00:32:38,960
\nYou can choose What Car you
\nmight like to have. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:32:40,640 –> 00:32:44,800
\nJob security has been there for
\nmany years, and it doesn’t mean,<\/p>\n

533
\n00:32:44,800 –> 00:32:47,360
\ndoes it, that that necessarily
\ndraws us back to God. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:32:47,360 –> 00:32:49,040
\nIt could mean that therefore we
\nwant something else. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:32:49,040 –> 00:32:53,920
\nAnd else and else and else.
\nAnd there’s more frontiers to to<\/p>\n

536
\n00:32:53,920 –> 00:32:57,040
\nconquer.
\nAnd in that temptation to rise. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:32:57,240 –> 00:32:59,520
\nThat’s undoubtedly what happened
\nto David, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

538
\n00:32:59,840 –> 00:33:03,600
\nIn the middle years, brethren.
\nOf our middle ears. <\/p>\n

539
\n00:33:04,480 –> 00:33:08,640
\nThat’s when a court David, when
\nhe had achieved so much and life<\/p>\n

540
\n00:33:08,640 –> 00:33:11,520
\nwas not quite so much uphill,
\nbut was now. <\/p>\n

541
\n00:33:12,040 –> 00:33:15,560
\nComing to the plateau, as it
\nwere for the prime years of <\/p>\n

542
\n00:33:15,560 –> 00:33:21,040
\nlife.
\nBut this Psalm that we have <\/p>\n

543
\n00:33:22,360 –> 00:33:25,720
\nshows that even after the.
\nConsequences of tragedy. <\/p>\n

544
\n00:33:27,240 –> 00:33:32,560
\nGod is able to be found.
\nIn this Psalm, David has come up<\/p>\n

545
\n00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:36,160
\nout of that, and he’s still
\nexactly the same mind mentally <\/p>\n

546
\n00:33:36,520 –> 00:33:41,720
\nas he was when he was in exile
\nas a younger man in earlier <\/p>\n

547
\n00:33:41,760 –> 00:33:47,280
\nyears.
\nYahweh prepares verse 7, mercy <\/p>\n

548
\n00:33:47,400 –> 00:33:50,360
\nand truth, which may preserve
\nhim. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:33:52,680 –> 00:33:55,720
\nAnd there was a particularly
\ntouching matter, Wasn’t there <\/p>\n

550
\n00:33:56,080 –> 00:33:59,040
\njust at the end of that story,
\nback in our story that we’ve had<\/p>\n

551
\n00:33:59,040 –> 00:34:09,760
\nthis week?
\nHe prepares mercy and truth if <\/p>\n

552
\n00:34:09,760 –> 00:34:12,639
\nthat was said just before this
\nevent and how? <\/p>\n

553
\n00:34:12,639 –> 00:34:15,159
\nWonderfully, David would have
\nseen a fulfillment. <\/p>\n

554
\n00:34:15,159 –> 00:34:22,400
\nOf those words in this event,
\nSecond Samuel. 17 Second Samuel <\/p>\n

555
\n00:34:22,400 –> 00:34:32,239
\n17.
\nIt came to pass as 26, so Israel<\/p>\n

556
\n00:34:32,239 –> 00:34:34,560
\nand Absalom pitched in the land
\nof Gilead. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:34:38,520 –> 00:34:43,280
\nWhat a terrible thing.
\nFather and son out of Israel <\/p>\n

558
\n00:34:43,280 –> 00:34:49,040
\ntogether two different armies.
\nSo Israel and Absalom. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:34:50,560 –> 00:34:52,600
\nDavid didn’t even have his
\nnation. <\/p>\n

560
\n00:34:54,000 –> 00:34:56,320
\nHis treacherous and wicked son
\nhad that. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:34:57,040 –> 00:35:02,560
\nSo Israel and Absalom pitched in
\nthe land of Gilead, a harsh <\/p>\n

562
\n00:35:02,560 –> 00:35:05,840
\nland.
\nIt came to pass. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:35:07,880 –> 00:35:10,800
\nCould there be a greater note of
\ntragedy than verse 26? <\/p>\n

564
\n00:35:10,800 –> 00:35:14,640
\nIt’s like a summary of the
\ntragedy and the next verse, the <\/p>\n

565
\n00:35:14,640 –> 00:35:21,680
\nnext verse.
\nIt came to pass when David was <\/p>\n

566
\n00:35:21,680 –> 00:35:29,160
\ncome to my name, when he was
\novercome, when the consequences <\/p>\n

567
\n00:35:29,160 –> 00:35:31,920
\nof all that he had done were at
\ntheir height. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:35:32,840 –> 00:35:35,400
\nThat came to pass when David was
\ncome to May. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:35:35,400 –> 00:35:44,200
\nHer name that Shobi the son of
\nNaheshab Rabar, the place of his<\/p>\n

570
\n00:35:44,200 –> 00:35:52,680
\nshame, and Maker the son of Emil
\nof Lodibar, and Bazilaya the <\/p>\n

571
\n00:35:52,680 –> 00:35:54,040
\nGileadite of.
\nRogalin. <\/p>\n

572
\n00:35:55,200 –> 00:35:57,360
\nThey brought everything they
\ncould possibly think of. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:35:58,480 –> 00:36:01,840
\nThey brought beds and the record
\njust goes on to talk about it. <\/p>\n

574
\n00:36:02,240 –> 00:36:05,520
\nTwo whole vessels are used to
\ndescribe the multitude of stuff <\/p>\n

575
\n00:36:05,520 –> 00:36:08,200
\nthat came.
\nThey brought beds and never had <\/p>\n

576
\n00:36:08,200 –> 00:36:12,000
\nthem before.
\nI slept under the Bush, basins <\/p>\n

577
\n00:36:12,000 –> 00:36:16,680
\nand urban vessels, wheat,
\nparley, flour, parched, corn, <\/p>\n

578
\n00:36:16,960 –> 00:36:23,680
\nbeans and lentils, and parched.
\nPulse, Mercy and truth I hast <\/p>\n

579
\n00:36:23,680 –> 00:36:30,680
\nprepared for me honey, butter,
\nsheep, cheese of kind. <\/p>\n

580
\n00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:36,960
\nLike you’d have on a King’s
\ntable a David and for the people<\/p>\n

581
\n00:36:36,960 –> 00:36:41,800
\nthat were with him to eat all
\nthey said in their sympathy and <\/p>\n

582
\n00:36:41,800 –> 00:36:45,480
\ntheir love.
\nThe people is hungry and weary <\/p>\n

583
\n00:36:45,600 –> 00:36:49,680
\nand thirsty in the wilderness.
\nBring tear to your eye, my dear <\/p>\n

584
\n00:36:49,680 –> 00:36:51,560
\nand sisters.
\nBeautiful thing, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

585
\n00:36:52,480 –> 00:36:56,600
\nThe greatest tragedy?
\nVerse 26 Mercy and Truth met him<\/p>\n

586
\n00:36:56,600 –> 00:37:01,480
\nin verse 2729.
\nDo you know who those? <\/p>\n

587
\n00:37:01,480 –> 00:37:09,400
\nThree men were Shobi, it says.
\nThe son of Nahash of Rabar Shobi<\/p>\n

588
\n00:37:09,400 –> 00:37:14,880
\nwas a Prince of the Ammonites.
\nCan you imagine anything more <\/p>\n

589
\n00:37:15,000 –> 00:37:17,760
\nunlikely than that?
\nDo you remember that? <\/p>\n

590
\n00:37:18,000 –> 00:37:22,360
\nDavid sent a messenger to to to
\nNahan. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:37:23,360 –> 00:37:26,440
\nWho was Shobi’s brother?
\nThe other Prince, and now king, <\/p>\n

592
\n00:37:26,560 –> 00:37:28,320
\nhe sent a messenger messengers
\nto them. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:37:28,840 –> 00:37:31,280
\nTo show kindness, he said.
\nBecause of Hanan. <\/p>\n

594
\n00:37:31,720 –> 00:37:33,720
\nBecause of Nahesh, their fathers
\nsay. <\/p>\n

595
\n00:37:35,080 –> 00:37:37,760
\nAnd you remember how Nahin?
\nRailed against David’s <\/p>\n

596
\n00:37:37,760 –> 00:37:41,160
\nmessengers, and he sent them
\nback with half their beard. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:37:41,160 –> 00:37:47,040
\nCut this.
\nShobi is that King’s brother. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:37:47,920 –> 00:37:51,960
\nHe’s the second most important.
\nPerson, perhaps among the <\/p>\n

599
\n00:37:51,960 –> 00:37:55,960
\nchildren of Ammon.
\nThe children of Ammon, would you<\/p>\n

600
\n00:37:55,960 –> 00:37:58,960
\nhave thought that?
\nAnything could come out of Ammon<\/p>\n

601
\n00:37:59,240 –> 00:38:01,360
\nthat could be favorable to David
\nat this? <\/p>\n

602
\n00:38:01,640 –> 00:38:05,320
\nCircumstance.
\nThat was the place of his sin. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:38:06,360 –> 00:38:08,360
\nIt was the place where Uriah was
\nburied. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:38:09,720 –> 00:38:13,400
\nIt was the place where he’d
\nshowed, it seems exceptional. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:38:13,400 –> 00:38:17,320
\nCruelty.
\nAnd at this time, when you might<\/p>\n

606
\n00:38:17,320 –> 00:38:19,840
\nhave thought those people would
\njoin with Absalom, with a <\/p>\n

607
\n00:38:19,840 –> 00:38:24,760
\nrelish, the Prince of the
\nAmmonites comes out, the brother<\/p>\n

608
\n00:38:24,760 –> 00:38:29,200
\nto the king, and he comes with
\nall these things, joining in <\/p>\n

609
\n00:38:30,120 –> 00:38:32,120
\nwith these other men.
\nHow do they think of it? <\/p>\n

610
\n00:38:32,240 –> 00:38:33,960
\nHow do they get it together so
\nquickly? <\/p>\n

611
\n00:38:34,360 –> 00:38:38,760
\nThere was response in his heart.
\nYou know, it says when David <\/p>\n

612
\n00:38:38,760 –> 00:38:41,880
\nsent those messengers that his
\nmind was to the God’s. <\/p>\n

613
\n00:38:42,080 –> 00:38:46,400
\nNahum, it was to show him
\nkindness, and that word is? <\/p>\n

614
\n00:38:46,600 –> 00:38:51,160
\nKiss head, Prepare mercy care
\nsaid and. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:38:51,160 –> 00:38:54,760
\nTruth, says the Psalm God will
\nprepare mercy and truth. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:38:55,040 –> 00:38:58,080
\nDavid had thought to get send
\nmercy to the king of Ammon, to <\/p>\n

617
\n00:38:58,120 –> 00:39:01,200
\nto make a decent arrangement
\nwith him because of the kindness<\/p>\n

618
\n00:39:01,200 –> 00:39:03,400
\nof his father.
\nIn time cast it was a loving <\/p>\n

619
\n00:39:03,400 –> 00:39:06,840
\ngesture, an extended generous
\ngesture. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:39:07,600 –> 00:39:12,080
\nThis show becomes at David’s
\ngreatest extremity, and with <\/p>\n

621
\n00:39:12,080 –> 00:39:15,040
\ngreat danger, no doubt to
\nhimself, and the disparagement <\/p>\n

622
\n00:39:15,040 –> 00:39:19,320
\nof his of his of his partisans.
\nBut he comes despite all of <\/p>\n

623
\n00:39:19,320 –> 00:39:22,400
\nthat, in his own reputation, and
\nhe loads David with all that the<\/p>\n

624
\n00:39:22,400 –> 00:39:25,760
\nKingdom of Ammon could load.
\nWhat an incredible thing, my <\/p>\n

625
\n00:39:25,760 –> 00:39:29,600
\ndear brethren.
\nSisters, do you think God was in<\/p>\n

626
\n00:39:29,600 –> 00:39:35,200
\nthat?
\nThe God of Israel, despite <\/p>\n

627
\n00:39:35,200 –> 00:39:40,760
\nUriah, despite David’s sin?
\nWhy? <\/p>\n

628
\n00:39:40,760 –> 00:39:47,640
\nBecause David was a man of Kesed
\nand with the merciful. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:39:49,000 –> 00:39:54,440
\nGod will show himself merciful.
\nAs a man meets, so will it be <\/p>\n

630
\n00:39:54,440 –> 00:39:58,000
\nmeasured to him again.
\nDon’t forget mercy, my dear and <\/p>\n

631
\n00:39:58,000 –> 00:40:01,560
\nsisters.
\nIn our ecclesial judgments. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:40:03,200 –> 00:40:08,400
\nThere may be a time our hand is
\nout for mercy, and it will come <\/p>\n

633
\n00:40:08,400 –> 00:40:10,520
\nto us according as we’ve given
\nit to us. <\/p>\n

634
\n00:40:11,160 –> 00:40:15,160
\nStand by the principles, indeed,
\nbut don’t forget mercy. <\/p>\n

635
\n00:40:18,040 –> 00:40:19,640
\nMaker.
\nHe’s there. <\/p>\n

636
\n00:40:19,880 –> 00:40:23,640
\nWho’s this Maker?
\nThe son of Amiel of Lodibar. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:40:24,240 –> 00:40:27,520
\nCome back to Chapter 9.
\nHe’s actually mentioned before <\/p>\n

638
\n00:40:27,520 –> 00:40:34,400
\nin the record The second of
\nSamuel 9, when David was <\/p>\n

639
\n00:40:34,400 –> 00:40:37,960
\ninquiring.
\nIs there any left of the House <\/p>\n

640
\n00:40:37,960 –> 00:40:43,440
\nof Saul?
\nThat I might show him Kesed. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:40:43,680 –> 00:40:47,680
\nOh, it’s the word of David’s
\nlife. 9 verse one. <\/p>\n

642
\n00:40:48,440 –> 00:40:50,840
\nIs there yet any that is left of
\nthe House of Saul? <\/p>\n

643
\n00:40:50,840 –> 00:40:55,560
\nThat I may show him him
\nkindness, Kesed. <\/p>\n

644
\n00:40:56,600 –> 00:40:58,800
\nThe loving kindness.
\nThe steadfast love. <\/p>\n

645
\n00:40:58,800 –> 00:41:01,520
\nThat’s the that’s.
\nThe whole meaning of the word <\/p>\n

646
\n00:41:01,920 –> 00:41:05,480
\nunchanging love that I may show
\nhim. <\/p>\n

647
\n00:41:06,120 –> 00:41:09,080
\nKesed for Jonathan’s sake.
\nHe loved Jonathan’s name. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:41:10,160 –> 00:41:13,200
\nNow is it the peak of his of his
\npower? <\/p>\n

649
\n00:41:15,640 –> 00:41:17,840
\nIs absolute power going to
\ncorrupt? <\/p>\n

650
\n00:41:17,840 –> 00:41:21,720
\nAbsolutely.
\nIn the peak of his power on <\/p>\n

651
\n00:41:21,720 –> 00:41:23,360
\neither.
\nSide of this chapter are all of <\/p>\n

652
\n00:41:23,360 –> 00:41:26,440
\nhis war achievements.
\nIn the peak of that <\/p>\n

653
\n00:41:26,440 –> 00:41:29,600
\ncircumstance, he thinks of the
\ncovenant he made with his <\/p>\n

654
\n00:41:29,600 –> 00:41:33,360
\nbeloved friend.
\nThat’s been so long decaying in <\/p>\n

655
\n00:41:33,360 –> 00:41:36,560
\nthe grave that I may show him,
\nkiss it. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:41:38,600 –> 00:41:42,200
\nAnd it was told him, wasn’t it
\nby Zeba, that there was a one <\/p>\n

657
\n00:41:42,200 –> 00:41:45,120
\ncalled Mephibosheth and he he
\nwas alive the. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:41:45,120 –> 00:41:49,920
\nKing said unto him, Where is he?
\nVerse 4, Ziva said unto the <\/p>\n

659
\n00:41:49,920 –> 00:41:52,480
\nking.
\nWell, he’s way off in exile. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:41:52,480 –> 00:41:55,720
\nBehold.
\nHe’s in the House of Maker, the <\/p>\n

661
\n00:41:55,720 –> 00:41:58,760
\nson of Amil in Logovar.
\nThat’s the man. <\/p>\n

662
\n00:42:01,040 –> 00:42:03,200
\nIt’s the same man.
\nChapter 17. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:42:04,440 –> 00:42:07,680
\nThis man must have been on the
\nside of Saul. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:42:07,680 –> 00:42:10,760
\nHe must have been.
\nBecause he was prepared to build<\/p>\n

665
\n00:42:10,760 –> 00:42:15,440
\nit into his house, this remnant
\nof the previous dynasty. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:42:15,880 –> 00:42:18,200
\nPretty useless sort of man.
\nIn terms of what he could do <\/p>\n

667
\n00:42:18,200 –> 00:42:22,080
\naround the house, but he he took
\ncompassion upon him and brought <\/p>\n

668
\n00:42:22,080 –> 00:42:25,280
\nhim into the house and the
\nmessengers of sort of David came<\/p>\n

669
\n00:42:25,280 –> 00:42:27,640
\nat verse five.
\nThen King David sent and fetched<\/p>\n

670
\n00:42:27,640 –> 00:42:30,720
\nhim out of the House of Maker,
\nthe son of Amy or from Lodibar. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:42:30,880 –> 00:42:33,160
\nAnd you can imagine that when
\nMaker saw him going out the <\/p>\n

672
\n00:42:33,160 –> 00:42:35,240
\nfront gate and going down the
\nroad, he would have thought <\/p>\n

673
\n00:42:35,240 –> 00:42:36,880
\nthat’s the last I’ll ever see
\nhim a fibbish in. <\/p>\n

674
\n00:42:38,000 –> 00:42:40,880
\nDavid is making sure there is no
\nRemnant that could ever rise up <\/p>\n

675
\n00:42:40,880 –> 00:42:42,880
\nagainst him from the previous
\ndynasty. <\/p>\n

676
\n00:42:43,000 –> 00:42:45,480
\nBut he was so wrong, wasn’t he?
\nYeah, My what? <\/p>\n

677
\n00:42:45,480 –> 00:42:47,720
\nThe messenger said.
\nMaker must have thought that’s <\/p>\n

678
\n00:42:47,720 –> 00:42:50,480
\nwhat would happen.
\nIn fact, David took him and he <\/p>\n

679
\n00:42:50,480 –> 00:42:53,040
\nput him among his sons at his
\ntable. <\/p>\n

680
\n00:42:53,640 –> 00:42:55,440
\nDavid’s sons.
\nJonathan’s sons. <\/p>\n

681
\n00:42:55,440 –> 00:42:56,920
\nMy sons right in the middle of
\nthem. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:42:58,360 –> 00:43:01,560
\nAnd eventually that story would
\nhave come back, wouldn’t coming <\/p>\n

683
\n00:43:01,560 –> 00:43:04,360
\nback over Jordan.
\nDid you hear what happened to <\/p>\n

684
\n00:43:04,360 –> 00:43:08,040
\nMephibosheth Maker?
\nNo, I just suppose that he’s <\/p>\n

685
\n00:43:08,040 –> 00:43:09,840
\ndead now.
\nNo, he isn’t. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:43:10,680 –> 00:43:13,560
\nI visited Jerusalem to the
\nTabernacle and. <\/p>\n

687
\n00:43:13,560 –> 00:43:15,760
\nMephibosheth is sitting at the
\nKing’s table. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:43:17,080 –> 00:43:18,680
\nWhat would David want to have
\nMaken? <\/p>\n

689
\n00:43:19,080 –> 00:43:21,520
\nTo have Mephibosheth?
\nThat he’s stable for he was a <\/p>\n

690
\n00:43:21,520 –> 00:43:24,360
\nlame man.
\nHow does he fit in with all the <\/p>\n

691
\n00:43:24,360 –> 00:43:26,320
\ncelebration of the of the Royal
\nhouse? <\/p>\n

692
\n00:43:27,560 –> 00:43:29,560
\nDavid’s got him there, among his
\nsons. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:43:31,120 –> 00:43:32,640
\nA maker would have gone back to
\nhis house. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:43:32,640 –> 00:43:34,640
\nHe would have.
\nSurely seen in that. <\/p>\n

695
\n00:43:35,200 –> 00:43:39,240
\nBut there was a man of God.
\nHe knew The story about Jonathan<\/p>\n

696
\n00:43:39,240 –> 00:43:42,080
\nMephibosheth no doubt knew that
\ntold him he got back somehow. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:43:43,000 –> 00:43:50,040
\nIf it were a wonderful man, a
\nman of steadfast love, and now <\/p>\n

698
\n00:43:50,200 –> 00:43:56,080
\nwhen the wheel of fortune was
\nturned and maker, he is that. <\/p>\n

699
\n00:43:56,080 –> 00:43:59,400
\nDavid has come to his exile
\ncountry, as it were. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:43:59,560 –> 00:44:04,280
\nOverjoyed, he gathers up all the
\nthings of his considerable home.<\/p>\n

701
\n00:44:05,520 –> 00:44:09,520
\nHe rushes to the scene to show
\nhim the cassette of the Lord <\/p>\n

702
\n00:44:10,720 –> 00:44:13,800
\nMercy and Truth Men.
\nAnd of course there was <\/p>\n

703
\n00:44:13,800 –> 00:44:17,360
\nBarzilayer beginning after
\nProblem 3, Great Men. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:44:18,160 –> 00:44:22,080
\nSo God remembers my dear and
\nsisters, doesn’t he? <\/p>\n

705
\n00:44:22,080 –> 00:44:25,720
\nThe cycles of life.
\nCan turn cast thy bread upon the<\/p>\n

706
\n00:44:25,720 –> 00:44:28,920
\nwaters.
\nAfter many days it shall return <\/p>\n

707
\n00:44:29,600 –> 00:44:32,360
\nunto thee.
\nIt’s coming back to our son. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:44:36,360 –> 00:44:38,600
\nYou know, David had the best
\nyears ahead of him. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:44:39,600 –> 00:44:40,600
\nAre we older?
\nIn years? <\/p>\n

710
\n00:44:40,600 –> 00:44:43,040
\nWe’ve spoken of the young.
\nWe’ve spoken of the middle age. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:44:43,480 –> 00:44:47,000
\nAre we older in years?
\nIt’s the final thought. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:44:47,320 –> 00:44:49,080
\nWe’re really a family together,
\naren’t we? <\/p>\n

713
\n00:44:50,160 –> 00:45:00,120
\nHe says in verse 6.
\nThou wilt prolong the King’s <\/p>\n

714
\n00:45:00,120 –> 00:45:04,080
\nlife in his years as many
\ngenerations. <\/p>\n

715
\n00:45:05,640 –> 00:45:07,360
\nWell, you know, he did prolong
\nDavid’s life. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:45:08,120 –> 00:45:11,080
\nHe looked as sick as though he
\nwas He was about to go. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:45:11,640 –> 00:45:14,400
\nLater in the time of Idona just
\nreign, he looked like he was so.<\/p>\n

718
\n00:45:14,400 –> 00:45:16,960
\nCold that his metabolism had
\nslowed down. <\/p>\n

719
\n00:45:16,960 –> 00:45:20,000
\nThey couldn’t keep him warm.
\nThere’s nothing a good thing. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:45:20,000 –> 00:45:21,720
\nTo do, to keep the old king
\nwarm. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:45:22,440 –> 00:45:27,440
\nAnd yet after that, he had the.
\nGreatest years of his life are <\/p>\n

722
\n00:45:27,440 –> 00:45:28,640
\nthe legs.
\nA little frail. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:45:28,880 –> 00:45:31,160
\nDear brother, dear sister, is
\nthe mind. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:45:31,160 –> 00:45:34,600
\nNot as strong, perhaps.
\nRemember David in his older <\/p>\n

725
\n00:45:34,640 –> 00:45:38,400
\nyears, when he cried unto God
\nand said, Now that I’m old and <\/p>\n

726
\n00:45:38,400 –> 00:45:40,960
\nGray headed, forsake me not, and
\nhe wasn’t forsaken. <\/p>\n

727
\n00:45:43,480 –> 00:45:47,080
\nOld age in the truth is not to
\nlet the rains go. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:45:47,760 –> 00:45:50,600
\nWe need you.
\nWe need your consistency. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:45:50,600 –> 00:45:53,480
\nWe need your inspiration.
\nYou know, the old sisters or <\/p>\n

730
\n00:45:53,480 –> 00:45:56,840
\nbrothers that come to the the
\nBible class despite rain or <\/p>\n

731
\n00:45:56,840 –> 00:45:59,080
\nshine, despite weariness or
\npain. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:45:59,480 –> 00:46:02,080
\nAnd sit along the row are an
\ninspiration to us, aren’t they? <\/p>\n

733
\n00:46:02,600 –> 00:46:06,040
\nAll of us feel that way.
\nTo have our our older ones here <\/p>\n

734
\n00:46:06,200 –> 00:46:09,640
\nclimbing up the mountain to be.
\nWith us to celebrate in the <\/p>\n

735
\n00:46:09,640 –> 00:46:12,280
\nthings of God together.
\nWhat an inspiration that is. <\/p>\n

736
\n00:46:12,280 –> 00:46:13,880
\nWe’ve felt it this week many
\ntimes. <\/p>\n

737
\n00:46:14,160 –> 00:46:19,360
\nAll of us have felt that as we
\ngo into older years, don’t look <\/p>\n

738
\n00:46:19,360 –> 00:46:23,120
\nfor easing off some little spot
\ndown, you know on the coast <\/p>\n

739
\n00:46:23,120 –> 00:46:25,960
\nthat’s far away from reality.
\nWe need you. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:46:26,640 –> 00:46:28,040
\nWe need you.
\nAn hour clears your life. <\/p>\n

741
\n00:46:28,960 –> 00:46:31,080
\nWe’d love to have him David’s
\nbest years. <\/p>\n

742
\n00:46:31,200 –> 00:46:33,520
\nHe said.
\nIn his later years, I set my <\/p>\n

743
\n00:46:33,520 –> 00:46:38,240
\naffection for the House of my
\nGod just as true for us today. <\/p>\n

744
\n00:46:39,320 –> 00:46:41,360
\nThink to build older breathers
\nand sisters. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:46:41,360 –> 00:46:44,120
\nWe need your steadfast example.
\nWe need the. <\/p>\n

746
\n00:46:44,120 –> 00:46:48,280
\nConstancy of your mind, your
\nprolonged example among us. <\/p>\n

747
\n00:46:48,800 –> 00:46:51,640
\nBut there’s more here, isn’t it?
\nThis is more than just an <\/p>\n

748
\n00:46:51,640 –> 00:46:56,400
\nextension of present life, His
\nyears as many generations. <\/p>\n

749
\n00:46:57,400 –> 00:47:00,120
\nThis for I will.
\nAbide in thy Tabernacle forever <\/p>\n

750
\n00:47:00,840 –> 00:47:04,200
\nhe shall abide verse seven
\nbefore God, forever before God. <\/p>\n

751
\n00:47:05,120 –> 00:47:09,480
\nVerse 8 So will I sing praise
\nunto thy name forever, but I <\/p>\n

752
\n00:47:09,480 –> 00:47:13,920
\nmight daily perform my vows.
\nThis is a man who daily in the <\/p>\n

753
\n00:47:14,120 –> 00:47:18,200
\nin the small unit of of life.
\nPresently he’s daily performing <\/p>\n

754
\n00:47:18,200 –> 00:47:20,480
\nhis vows.
\nBut that life is going to go on <\/p>\n

755
\n00:47:20,480 –> 00:47:23,600
\nforever.
\nIt’s in the little things, <\/p>\n

756
\n00:47:23,720 –> 00:47:27,000
\nbrilliant in the basics.
\nThat take us on to eternal life.<\/p>\n

757
\n00:47:27,240 –> 00:47:30,840
\nThis Psalm is not limited spirit
\nof God that that moved David to <\/p>\n

758
\n00:47:30,840 –> 00:47:33,680
\nsay this is.
\nProjecting the scene for all of <\/p>\n

759
\n00:47:33,680 –> 00:47:36,280
\nus coming right through to our
\ntimes. <\/p>\n

760
\n00:47:36,440 –> 00:47:39,840
\nMotivating every day of our
\nlives to daily perform our lives<\/p>\n

761
\n00:47:39,960 –> 00:47:42,640
\nnot just on Sunday morning, but
\nbut every day of our life. <\/p>\n

762
\n00:47:42,640 –> 00:47:47,280
\nFilling it with the things of
\nGod that we might go on unto the<\/p>\n

763
\n00:47:47,280 –> 00:47:49,840
\neternal life that is to come.
\nWhy is that so? <\/p>\n

764
\n00:47:51,320 –> 00:47:55,400
\nBecause as we read this morning,
\nthe keepers did quake. <\/p>\n

765
\n00:47:57,520 –> 00:48:02,640
\nThe keepers, the keepers of the
\ngrave, tried to lock the Lord <\/p>\n

766
\n00:48:02,640 –> 00:48:07,960
\nJesus Christ into death.
\nThey shook because the Angel of <\/p>\n

767
\n00:48:07,960 –> 00:48:11,880
\nlife, he came and he unblocked
\nthat stone. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:48:13,000 –> 00:48:16,480
\nHe pushed it back.
\nHe brought forth our Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

769
\n00:48:16,480 –> 00:48:19,800
\nChrist, and he gave him life
\nforevermore. <\/p>\n

770
\n00:48:21,560 –> 00:48:23,720
\nSo we push on with our daily
\nbowels, my dear brother, <\/p>\n

771
\n00:48:23,720 –> 00:48:26,760
\nsisters, and love of each other,
\nand love of the truth and love <\/p>\n

772
\n00:48:26,760 –> 00:48:29,560
\nof our God that we too.
\nWhatever. <\/p>\n

773
\n00:48:29,560 –> 00:48:34,080
\nStage of life we might be may be
\nable to share with him that <\/p>\n

774
\n00:48:34,080 –> 00:48:51,760
\neternal life for which we long.
