\nWelcome to the good Christian

\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris.
\nThank you so much for joining us<\/p>\n
\n00:00:18,100 –> 00:00:22,800
\nthis week on this podcast.
\nWe select one taco week to help <\/p>\n
\n00:00:22,900 –> 00:00:26,600
\neach one of us get the Bible in
\nour daily news feed. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:27,500 –> 00:00:29,600
\nWe post at the start of each
\nweek for you to listen. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:30,000 –> 00:00:32,500
\nWith a short intro before hand
\nto kind of set the stage for the<\/p>\n
\n00:00:32,500 –> 00:00:34,300
\ntalk.
\nYou’re about to hear and now <\/p>\n
\n00:00:34,300 –> 00:00:35,800
\nlet’s hear more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:43,700 –> 00:00:46,000
\nThank you for joining us for
\nanother top this week. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:47,900
\nWe’re listening to an
\nexpectation that was given by <\/p>\n
\n00:00:47,900 –> 00:00:51,600
\nBrother Max Wickham from the San
\nDiego Police in California is <\/p>\n
\n00:00:51,600 –> 00:00:55,100
\nexcitation was given back in
\nMarch at the Verdugo Hills <\/p>\n
\n00:00:55,100 –> 00:00:57,400
\nEcclesia.
\nSorry going back to that. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:57,400 –> 00:01:00,900
\nWell that I remember hearing in
\nperson and really enjoyed his <\/p>\n
\n00:01:00,900 –> 00:01:04,000
\napproach this exhortation.
\nHe’s taken as excitation from <\/p>\n
\n00:01:04,000 –> 00:01:08,300
\nPsalm 119, which is the longest
\nbook in the Bible and he even <\/p>\n
\n00:01:08,300 –> 00:01:11,700
\nmakes a joke at the beginning
\nthat he was going to go verse by<\/p>\n
\n00:01:11,700 –> 00:01:16,100
\nverse For his entire to tation
\nand to buckling who’s going to <\/p>\n
\n00:01:16,100 –> 00:01:19,700
\nbe a little bit of a longer top,
\nbut he ends up deciding not to <\/p>\n
\n00:01:19,708 –> 00:01:22,900
\ndo that and rather than going
\nand looking at one specific <\/p>\n
\n00:01:22,900 –> 00:01:27,500
\nsection in Psalm. 119 is broken
\nup into little stanzas as it’s <\/p>\n
\n00:01:27,500 –> 00:01:32,000
\nwritten brother Max instead sort
\nof looks at the entire Psalm as <\/p>\n
\n00:01:32,000 –> 00:01:36,300
\na whole picking out little
\nthemes throughout it and uses <\/p>\n
\n00:01:36,300 –> 00:01:39,700
\nthat to build a really
\ninteresting look at the way that<\/p>\n
\n00:01:39,900 –> 00:01:43,900
\nthe chapter works and some
\nlessons that Pulls out for us. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:44,400 –> 00:01:47,000
\nHe had a really neat point when
\nit came to talk about spiritual <\/p>\n
\n00:01:47,000 –> 00:01:49,400
\nfood versus physical food near
\nthe end. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:49,400 –> 00:01:52,000
\nIf you’re anything like me you
\nenjoy really good food, but <\/p>\n
\n00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:55,000
\neventually unfortunately no
\nmatter how long you take <\/p>\n
\n00:01:55,000 –> 00:01:57,500
\neventually you get full and you
\ncan no longer eat the good food <\/p>\n
\n00:01:57,500 –> 00:01:59,300
\nthat you’re sitting down to eat
\nfor the Mac. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:59,300 –> 00:02:01,800
\nThanks a really good point that
\nthe opposite happens when you’ve<\/p>\n
\n00:02:01,800 –> 00:02:04,600
\nbeen with spiritual food that
\nwhen you’re doing a personal <\/p>\n
\n00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:08,400
\nstudy now the state is driven by
\na by a talk or by class, but <\/p>\n
\n00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:12,000
\njust digging into the word just
\nto edify yourself. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:12,500 –> 00:02:15,800
\nAt the opposite happens you end
\nup becoming more hungry you end <\/p>\n
\n00:02:15,800 –> 00:02:19,500
\nup becoming hungrier to dig into
\nthe word as you learn. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:22,200
\nI remember when I heard this
\nexcitation in person. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:22,600 –> 00:02:25,400
\nI really really enjoyed it.
\nI wanted to make sure to share <\/p>\n
\n00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:28,100
\nit with everybody.
\nSo I put it on to the list as <\/p>\n
\n00:02:28,100 –> 00:02:31,100
\nLevi mentioned in his intro last
\nweek There’s also been a lot of <\/p>\n
\n00:02:31,500 –> 00:02:33,600
\nnew podcast from
\nchristadelphians have been <\/p>\n
\n00:02:33,600 –> 00:02:36,700
\npopping up in addition to ours.
\nThere’s also the extended talks <\/p>\n
\n00:02:36,700 –> 00:02:38,800
\nthat we do which there was some
\nmore classes that were just <\/p>\n
\n00:02:38,800 –> 00:02:41,700
\nuploaded earlier this week.
\nThere’s also the pause to <\/p>\n
\n00:02:41,700 –> 00:02:44,900
\nconsider My Brother Sam Taylor,
\nthere’s the essential Bible <\/p>\n
\n00:02:44,900 –> 00:02:48,000
\nstudies that Tim young is doing
\nwhich is a great way to share <\/p>\n
\n00:02:48,300 –> 00:02:50,600
\nyour faith with people that are
\ninterested in learning more <\/p>\n
\n00:02:50,600 –> 00:02:53,200
\nabout the gospel.
\nThere’s also a new podcast that <\/p>\n
\n00:02:53,200 –> 00:02:55,700
\nwas started down in Australia
\ncalled new every morning which <\/p>\n
\n00:02:55,700 –> 00:02:58,800
\nhas been really great to listen
\nto if you know of any other <\/p>\n
\n00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:00,900
\npodcast that we’re missing feel
\nfree to send it our way. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:02,600
\nI’d love to give them a
\nshout-out to make sure that <\/p>\n
\n00:03:02,900 –> 00:03:04,400
\nwe’re sharing it.
\nEverybody’s learning as much <\/p>\n
\n00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:05,900
\nabout all the different podcasts
\nthat are out. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:05,908 –> 00:03:08,300
\nThere is people seem to really
\nbe enjoying this medium. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:08,900 –> 00:03:11,100
\nAlso if you’re like me and
\nyou’re sitting in your meeting <\/p>\n
\n00:03:11,100 –> 00:03:13,300
\nand you hear an excitation,
\nthat’s Really really good. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:13,800 –> 00:03:15,800
\nFeel free to send it our way.
\nIf you know that it’s being <\/p>\n
\n00:03:15,800 –> 00:03:18,600
\nrecorded in the brothers.
\nOkay with it being published on <\/p>\n
\n00:03:18,600 –> 00:03:21,900
\nthe podcast lots of occasions
\nrecord their expectations for <\/p>\n
\n00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:25,200
\npeople that aren’t able to come
\nin or or for other reasons <\/p>\n
\n00:03:25,200 –> 00:03:27,500
\npeople there in isolation.
\nSo they have a talk to listen to<\/p>\n
\n00:03:27,700 –> 00:03:29,700
\nbut if you happen to have one
\nparticular week where there’s a <\/p>\n
\n00:03:29,700 –> 00:03:32,600
\nreally fantastic exportation.
\nWe’re using those as well as as <\/p>\n

\n00:03:47,300 –> 00:03:50,000

\n00:03:57,500 –> 00:04:00,100
\ntalks that you’ve listened to
\ntheir always appreciated. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:00,100 –> 00:04:03,100
\nWe recently got more suggestions
\nfrom people that we’ve added in <\/p>\n
\n00:04:03,100 –> 00:04:05,600
\nare going to start listening to
\nand are excited to be able to <\/p>\n
\n00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:08,200
\nshare them with you as always
\nthank you for listening and for <\/p>\n
\n00:04:08,208 –> 00:04:10,600
\nall the support in the comments
\nand with that we’ll turn it over<\/p>\n
\n00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:12,300
\nto our brother Max for his extra
\ntape. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:12,400 –> 00:04:15,300
\nAction on Psalm 119.
\nThe excitation is going to be <\/p>\n
\n00:04:15,300 –> 00:04:20,899
\nout of Psalm 119 and There’s a
\nnumber of ways that I’m sure <\/p>\n
\n00:04:20,899 –> 00:04:24,600
\nthat that could be approached
\none way might be just spend, you<\/p>\n
\n00:04:24,600 –> 00:04:29,300
\nknow, start in verse 1 and go
\nthrough a verse at a time maybe <\/p>\n
\n00:04:29,300 –> 00:04:33,400
\nspend a minute or two on each.
\nSo, let’s see how many verses <\/p>\n
\n00:04:33,400 –> 00:04:38,800
\nare there.
\nSo we decided not to do that. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:41,200 –> 00:04:45,900
\nAnd actually when I first saw
\nthis great reading I thought I’m<\/p>\n
\n00:04:45,900 –> 00:04:50,100
\ngoing to do the whole excitation
\nfrom these 40 verses. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:53,100 –> 00:04:56,700
\nBut then as I read through the
\npsalm several times, I thought <\/p>\n
\n00:04:56,700 –> 00:05:02,600
\nman there’s there’s some great
\nverses 1 through 40. and then <\/p>\n
\n00:05:02,600 –> 00:05:07,400
\nmuch later I thought Can I
\nreally stay out of the last half<\/p>\n
\n00:05:07,500 –> 00:05:11,600
\ntotally?
\nBut it’s not going to be verse <\/p>\n
\n00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:16,600
\nby verse.
\nAnd mostly it will be from the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:16,600 –> 00:05:22,200
\nfirst 80 verses of this chapter
\npicking and choosing according <\/p>\n
\n00:05:22,200 –> 00:05:29,200
\nto subject.
\nThis study like any Bible study <\/p>\n
\n00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:33,600
\nI’ve ever done.
\nThere’s the early days early <\/p>\n
\n00:05:33,600 –> 00:05:38,500
\nImpressions and then later on.
\nAnd when I first started going <\/p>\n
\n00:05:38,500 –> 00:05:43,300
\nthrough this the first thing I
\nnoticed was that it does not <\/p>\n
\n00:05:43,300 –> 00:05:46,800
\nstate.
\nWho wrote these words who the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:49,900
\npsalmist was but when I was
\nreading it and rereading it, I <\/p>\n
\n00:05:49,900 –> 00:05:52,500
\nthought it really sounds like
\nDavid. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:53,700 –> 00:05:57,900
\nAnd later when I was looking at
\nsome commentaries, it seems most<\/p>\n
\n00:05:57,900 –> 00:06:03,100
\npeople believe it was David.
\nThe other thing that we can’t <\/p>\n
\n00:06:03,100 –> 00:06:09,800
\nmiss in this is the alpha
\nlayout. in little groups of <\/p>\n
\n00:06:09,800 –> 00:06:17,600
\nverses letters of the Hebrew
\nalphabet very unusual and hard <\/p>\n
\n00:06:17,600 –> 00:06:23,500
\nto miss But if there’s one thing
\nyou can’t miss about Psalm 119, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:24,900 –> 00:06:31,800
\nwhat would that be?
\nthe word of God it is said that <\/p>\n
\n00:06:31,800 –> 00:06:35,000
\nthe word of God is mentioned one
\nway or another and every single <\/p>\n
\n00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:39,300
\nverse and that maybe course the
\nverses were added much later, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:40,300 –> 00:06:46,000
\nbut that shows you how prominent
\nIt is and it’s also got a great <\/p>\n
\n00:06:46,000 –> 00:06:49,900
\nvariety of terms for the word of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:56,000
\nThese are out of just the first
\neight verses the law the <\/p>\n
\n00:06:56,000 –> 00:07:01,600
\ntestimony the precepts the
\nstatues the Commandments and the<\/p>\n
\n00:07:01,600 –> 00:07:04,800
\njudgments there are others later
\non, but that’s just the first <\/p>\n
\n00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:11,300
\neight verses.
\nAs I continued looking through <\/p>\n
\n00:07:11,300 –> 00:07:13,100
\nthis Psalm.
\nI realized that this is an <\/p>\n
\n00:07:13,100 –> 00:07:18,400
\nintensely personal Psalm accept
\nthe first four verses we’re <\/p>\n
\n00:07:18,400 –> 00:07:31,100
\ngoing to read the first four.
\nBlessed are the undefiled in the<\/p>\n
\n00:07:31,100 –> 00:07:35,500
\nway who walk in the law of the
\nLord blessed are they that keep <\/p>\n
\n00:07:35,500 –> 00:07:39,200
\nhis testimonies that seek him
\nwith the whole heart? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:39,400 –> 00:07:44,300
\nThey also do noren no iniquity.
\nThey walk in his ways thou Hast <\/p>\n
\n00:07:44,300 –> 00:07:48,000
\ncommanded us to keep thy
\nprecepts diligently. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:49,500 –> 00:07:51,800
\nSo what do we have?
\nWe had blessed are they? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:53,200 –> 00:07:56,500
\nThey do no iniquity.
\nThey walk in his ways you have <\/p>\n
\n00:07:56,500 –> 00:07:59,900
\ncommanded us not personal at
\nall. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:01,100 –> 00:08:07,900
\nBut from the beginning of verse
\n5 through 176, the rest of the <\/p>\n
\n00:08:07,907 –> 00:08:12,100
\npsalm is entirely personal how
\npersonal is it? <\/p>\n
\n00:08:13,600 –> 00:08:28,700
\nwell When you look at me my I
\nand mine in the first 80 versus <\/p>\n
\n00:08:29,700 –> 00:08:31,500
\nI counted a hundred and
\nthirty-three. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:38,700
\nThat’s pretty personal.
\nThat’s that’s amazing. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:42,299
\nAnd you know, we might have the
\nfeeling that. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:50,000
\nThat’s a self centers sort of
\nSaul but it isn’t it is standard<\/p>\n
\n00:08:50,000 –> 00:08:54,100
\non the word of God and upon the
\nLord because when you count up <\/p>\n
\n00:08:54,500 –> 00:09:09,300
\non the other hand.
\nWhen you count up also. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:15,500
\nHow many times the Lord and his
\nword come up? <\/p>\n
\n00:09:15,900 –> 00:09:20,400
\nIt’s even more prominent.
\nI counted up about the same <\/p>\n
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:25,900
\nexcept that many times.
\nThe word of the Lord is implied <\/p>\n
\n00:09:25,900 –> 00:09:31,900
\nlike in verse 17 deal
\nbountifully with thy servant. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:32,800 –> 00:09:40,300
\nthe Lord deal bountifully verse
\n27 Implied is Lord make me <\/p>\n
\n00:09:40,300 –> 00:09:46,000
\nunderstand the way verse 29
\nimplied his Lord remove from me <\/p>\n
\n00:09:46,300 –> 00:09:48,900
\nthe way of lying.
\nIt’s kind of like when my mom. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:50,100 –> 00:09:54,100
\nWould say to me take out the
\ntrash now. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:55,800 –> 00:09:58,100
\nI understood that there was a
\nyou imply. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:09,000
\nEven though it wasn’t stated.
\nI look at the first four verses <\/p>\n
\n00:10:09,000 –> 00:10:13,400
\nas being the ideal because the
\nfirst four verses talk about <\/p>\n
\n00:10:13,400 –> 00:10:18,300
\nthose who are undefiled who walk
\nin the way they keep his <\/p>\n
\n00:10:18,300 –> 00:10:21,400
\ntestimonies with the whole
\nheart. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:21,900 –> 00:10:26,500
\nThey do no sin.
\nAnd they are diligent. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:27,500 –> 00:10:33,800
\nSo I say that is the ideal. but
\nthen the psalmist when he gets <\/p>\n
\n00:10:33,800 –> 00:10:41,600
\npersonal the first thing that he
\nsays is oh that verse 5 o that <\/p>\n
\n00:10:41,600 –> 00:10:49,600
\nmy ways were like that.
\nIf they were verse 6 then I <\/p>\n
\n00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:55,900
\nwouldn’t be a shame.
\nAnd I will praise you verse 7 <\/p>\n
\n00:10:56,800 –> 00:11:04,900
\nwhen I have learned.
\nAnd verse 8 and I will keep your<\/p>\n
\n00:11:04,900 –> 00:11:08,700
\nstatutes, but forsake me not
\nliterally. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:14,300
\nAnd so the psalmist he starts
\nwith the ideal and we would all <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,300 –> 00:11:19,100
\nagree with that ideal.
\nWe would agree we ought to walk <\/p>\n
\n00:11:19,100 –> 00:11:22,900
\nin the ways of the Lord.
\nWe ought to not sin. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:24,000 –> 00:11:28,400
\nWe ought to be 100% All In
\nwholehearted. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:32,700 –> 00:11:35,700
\nBut we would also say with the
\npsalmist. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:35,700 –> 00:11:40,900
\nOh that oh that that was always
\nthe case though that that show <\/p>\n
\n00:11:40,900 –> 00:11:43,000
\nthat those words represented my
\nlife. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:50,200
\nBut we would also say with him
\nand that’s one of the reasons <\/p>\n
\n00:11:50,200 –> 00:11:55,300
\nwe’re here this morning.
\nWe would say don’t forsake me <\/p>\n
\n00:11:56,100 –> 00:12:03,300
\nthere with me forget.
\nTeach me. so much of this Psalm <\/p>\n
\n00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:10,500
\nis about the psalmist saying
\nimproved me help me. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:11,500 –> 00:12:17,200
\nI need it.
\nI know I know I lack in fast. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:20,900
\nIn fact the last verse of the
\nsong. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:23,300 –> 00:12:27,500
\nSays I have gone astray like a
\nlost sheep. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:28,900 –> 00:12:33,200
\nSeek your servant for I do not
\nforget your Commandments. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:34,700 –> 00:12:36,900
\nAnd I believe that’s us this
\nmorning. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:43,600
\nWe have all one way or another
\nwander astray one extent or <\/p>\n
\n00:12:43,600 –> 00:12:46,200
\nanother but we haven’t forgotten
\nhim. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:47,700 –> 00:12:50,700
\nWe haven’t forgotten his word if
\nwe had we wouldn’t be here. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:53,800 –> 00:12:59,200
\nBut we are looking for mercy and
\nGrace as our presiding brother <\/p>\n
\n00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:08,000
\nwas saying brother Christian.
\nThe feeling I get about the <\/p>\n
\n00:13:08,000 –> 00:13:13,100
\npsalmist attitude towards the
\nword is that he is hungry for <\/p>\n
\n00:13:13,100 –> 00:13:16,200
\nmore.
\nHe has a close relationship with<\/p>\n
\n00:13:16,200 –> 00:13:17,500
\nGod.
\nHe wants more. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:18,800 –> 00:13:21,300
\nHe walks with God he wants
\nbetter. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:25,400
\nHe wants less sent less
\ndistraction. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:26,500 –> 00:13:31,200
\nHe talks about God turning his
\nfeet because they’re not always <\/p>\n
\n00:13:31,900 –> 00:13:33,900
\nwalking in the way, but he would
\nlike to. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:35,600 –> 00:13:37,700
\nAnd I think that that is the way
\nwe are. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:39,500 –> 00:13:44,400
\nWe would like to be and I think
\nthe psalmist indicates the way <\/p>\n
\n00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:51,900
\nwe get there is through his word
\nand through the Lord God himself<\/p>\n
\n00:13:51,900 –> 00:13:57,000
\nwho will help us.
\nYou know in my experience what <\/p>\n
\n00:13:57,600 –> 00:14:01,600
\nwhat has given me that kind of
\nhunger for the word of God. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:01,600 –> 00:14:05,800
\nIt’s typically when I’m doing a
\npersonal study one of the <\/p>\n
\n00:14:05,808 –> 00:14:09,100
\nbrothers down our home Ecclesia
\nlast Thanksgiving. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:09,100 –> 00:14:14,100
\nWe were just chatting and he
\nsaid to me what kind of a <\/p>\n
\n00:14:14,100 –> 00:14:20,400
\npersonal study are you doing
\nright now now and I said, none <\/p>\n
\n00:14:23,100 –> 00:14:29,200
\nand Course I have in the past
\nand I just realized you know <\/p>\n
\n00:14:29,200 –> 00:14:32,800
\nhere I am retired.
\nI have the time. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:34,200 –> 00:14:38,700
\nAnd within a day or two, I
\nstarted a personal study, which <\/p>\n
\n00:14:38,800 –> 00:14:43,400
\nI’ve now concluded and I’m on am
\non another one, but my <\/p>\n
\n00:14:43,400 –> 00:14:47,200
\nexperience is when I’m in a
\nstudy like that, which is not <\/p>\n
\n00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:53,300
\nfor a class not for a lecture
\nnot to present just to absorb. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:54,400 –> 00:15:00,200
\nJust to enjoy just to Devour the
\nword of God like the psalmist <\/p>\n
\n00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:04,200
\nis.
\nIt makes me hungry for more. <\/p>\n
\n00:15:07,200 –> 00:15:11,200
\nIt’s just the opposite of food.
\nNow the more we eat natural food<\/p>\n
\n00:15:11,300 –> 00:15:17,500
\nthan the less we want unless
\nit’s a chips or chocolate. but <\/p>\n
\n00:15:17,500 –> 00:15:22,000
\nwith the word of God the more we
\nget the more we want don’t you <\/p>\n
\n00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:26,000
\nfind that?
\nand if we drift away from <\/p>\n
\n00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:31,000
\nreading the word doesn’t
\nnaturally make us hungry for it.<\/p>\n
\n00:15:32,300 –> 00:15:36,800
\nBecause the spiritual things
\njust don’t come naturally to it.<\/p>\n
\n00:15:40,400 –> 00:15:51,400
\nAnd when I read of the psalmist.
\nmaybe David the number one <\/p>\n
\n00:15:51,400 –> 00:15:55,600
\nimpression I get of him is that
\nhe understands he is very much a<\/p>\n
\n00:15:55,600 –> 00:15:59,700
\nwork in progress.
\nHe’s an unfinished piece. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:00,700 –> 00:16:05,800
\nGod is working with him God’s
\nword is working upon him, but <\/p>\n
\n00:16:05,800 –> 00:16:12,200
\nhe’s far from finish.
\nI won’t read these verses but <\/p>\n
\n00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:16,600
\nI’ll just read you some verses
\nand what he says Verse 18 He <\/p>\n
\n00:16:16,600 –> 00:16:25,700
\nsays open my eyes verse 27 make
\nme understand verse 33 teach me.<\/p>\n
\n00:16:27,000 –> 00:16:34,100
\nVerse 36 inclined my heart verse
\n80 give me a sound heart and so <\/p>\n
\n00:16:34,100 –> 00:16:41,600
\nmany more but then he comes back
\nand says if you do that for me, <\/p>\n
\n00:16:42,100 –> 00:16:47,600
\nif you help me in those ways
\nverse 42, then I will know how <\/p>\n
\n00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:52,700
\nto answer verse 46 then I will
\nspeak of your word. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:53,500 –> 00:16:59,500
\nVerse 62 I will rise in the
\nnight and thank you verse 44. <\/p>\n
\n00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:06,400
\nI will keep your law forever.
\nSo that’s very much as I see it <\/p>\n
\n00:17:06,400 –> 00:17:12,599
\nthe pattern of this song.
\nThe psalmist is saying help me <\/p>\n
\n00:17:13,500 –> 00:17:19,599
\nteach me and prove me and when
\nyou do I will be a better man. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:20,000 –> 00:17:24,000
\nI will be more like you want me
\nand more like I want me. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:27,400 –> 00:17:32,400
\nBrother Christian emphasized
\nGod’s mercy and the psalmist is <\/p>\n
\n00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:36,700
\nvery aware of that and its
\navailability. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:38,200 –> 00:17:44,200
\nHe says in verse 64 the Earth O.
\nLord is full of thy mercy. <\/p>\n
\n00:17:45,400 –> 00:17:51,500
\nIs full of thy mercy teach me
\nthy statutes and verse 76 and <\/p>\n
\n00:17:51,500 –> 00:17:56,600
\n77.
\nLet I pray thee thy merciful <\/p>\n
\n00:17:56,600 –> 00:18:01,900
\nkindness be for my comfort.
\nAccording to Thy word verse 77 <\/p>\n
\n00:18:02,300 –> 00:18:06,500
\nlet thy Tender Mercies come unto
\nme that I may live for. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:06,500 –> 00:18:11,500
\nThy law is my delight so he
\ntotally understands that. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:16,200 –> 00:18:21,700
\nThe very last thing that is said
\nis very similar to what he says <\/p>\n
\n00:18:21,700 –> 00:18:26,700
\nin verse 5.
\nWe read that but I’m going to <\/p>\n
\n00:18:26,700 –> 00:18:32,300
\nread it again 176.
\nI have gone astray like a lost <\/p>\n
\n00:18:32,300 –> 00:18:36,700
\nsheep.
\nWhat does that remind you of I <\/p>\n
\n00:18:36,700 –> 00:18:38,800
\nmean it reminds me of the Lord
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:39,800 –> 00:18:45,200
\nHe says I’m the Good Shepherd.
\nAnd he tells Parables about lost<\/p>\n
\n00:18:45,200 –> 00:18:47,500
\nsheep, doesn’t he?
\nAnd what does he do? <\/p>\n
\n00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:50,800
\nWell, he goes out and he looks
\nfor them. <\/p>\n
\n00:18:51,500 –> 00:18:56,600
\nHe finds them and he brings them
\nback and that’s exactly what the<\/p>\n
\n00:18:56,600 –> 00:19:03,900
\npsalmist is praying will happen.
\nHe says multiple times do not <\/p>\n
\n00:19:03,900 –> 00:19:13,700
\nforsake me. and in the New
\nTestament the Lord says I will <\/p>\n
\n00:19:13,700 –> 00:19:22,900
\nnever or say or Leave You Never
\nAnd this is the assurance that I<\/p>\n
\n00:19:22,900 –> 00:19:28,500
\nthink the psalmist realize it he
\nhas not forgotten God and God is<\/p>\n
\n00:19:28,500 –> 00:19:32,200
\nnot going to forget him.
\nHe is going to contain to work <\/p>\n
\n00:19:32,200 –> 00:19:36,500
\nwith him.
\nAnd he is going to Grant him <\/p>\n
\n00:19:36,500 –> 00:19:42,800
\nMercy.
\nWhat is it that the psalmist saw<\/p>\n
\n00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:47,200
\nin the law and in the precepts
\nand in the testimonies that he <\/p>\n
\n00:19:47,200 –> 00:19:49,500
\nwrote all of these words about
\nit? <\/p>\n
\n00:19:50,000 –> 00:19:54,700
\nI think he must have seen what
\nthe Lord Jesus says that the law<\/p>\n
\n00:19:54,700 –> 00:19:57,900
\nis essentially about and I know
\nyou know this he says two <\/p>\n
\n00:19:57,900 –> 00:20:02,700
\nthings, right?
\nnumber one to love the Lord your<\/p>\n
\n00:20:02,700 –> 00:20:07,600
\nGod with all your heart and all
\nyour soul and all your mind and <\/p>\n
\n00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:11,400
\nthe second one to love your
\nneighbor as yourself. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:12,900 –> 00:20:18,700
\nSo David sees if it’s David or
\nwhatever whatever psalmist it <\/p>\n
\n00:20:18,700 –> 00:20:24,400
\nis.
\nSees that it’s not just a group <\/p>\n
\n00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:29,700
\nof you cannot dues.
\nIt is a law pointing us to God <\/p>\n
\n00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:35,700
\nand pointing us toward others.
\nWell this morning. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:37,900 –> 00:20:42,600
\nWe come now to the table.
\nAnd I love that him. <\/p>\n
\n00:20:43,700 –> 00:20:49,400
\nThat we play just before about
\nhelping each other walking <\/p>\n
\n00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:54,900
\ntogether.
\nAnd letting others help us which<\/p>\n
\n00:20:54,900 –> 00:21:02,600
\ncan be hard for some of us.
\nThis morning we could have <\/p>\n
\n00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:07,200
\nstayed home.
\nWe could have broken bread at <\/p>\n
\n00:21:07,200 –> 00:21:10,000
\nhome.
\nI’ve done it especially when I’m<\/p>\n
\n00:21:10,000 –> 00:21:15,300
\nsick.
\nBut we’ve come together because <\/p>\n
\n00:21:15,300 –> 00:21:21,800
\nwe are companions.
\nI love this verse 63. of this <\/p>\n
\n00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:28,800
\npsalm He says I am a companion
\nof all them that fear thee of <\/p>\n
\n00:21:28,800 –> 00:21:32,600
\nthem that keep thy precepts.
\nSo we share many things don’t we<\/p>\n
\n00:21:32,600 –> 00:21:36,500
\nbrother?
\nAnd one of them is we are <\/p>\n
\n00:21:36,500 –> 00:21:40,200
\ncompanions on the way.
\nWe are brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:40,500 –> 00:21:44,100
\nWe love the Lord’s word.
\nWe don’t always keep it. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:44,900 –> 00:21:49,700
\nWe would like to and we say with
\nthe psalmist don’t give up on <\/p>\n
\n00:21:49,700 –> 00:21:52,900
\nme.
\nAnd we know as the Lord said I <\/p>\n
\n00:21:52,908 –> 00:21:55,800
\nwould never leave or forsake
\nyou. <\/p>\n
\n00:21:57,100 –> 00:22:00,000
\nAnd so that’s our hope and our
\nunderstanding this morning. <\/p>\n
\n00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:05,000
\nAnd as much as the psalmist
\nunderstood and loved the word of<\/p>\n
\n00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:08,500
\nGod.
\nHe didn’t have all the <\/p>\n
\n00:22:08,500 –> 00:22:17,500
\nadvantages that we do.
\nThat is brought home by what <\/p>\n
\n00:22:17,500 –> 00:22:26,500
\nJohn says.
\nJohn says The word was made <\/p>\n
\n00:22:26,500 –> 00:22:30,500
\nflesh.
\nWell 19 is all about the word <\/p>\n
\n00:22:30,800 –> 00:22:36,800
\nbut John says the word was made
\nflesh and dwelt among us and we <\/p>\n
\n00:22:36,800 –> 00:22:41,800
\nbeheld his glory the glory as
\nthe only begotten of the father <\/p>\n
\n00:22:42,600 –> 00:22:53,800
\nfull of grace and truth.
