Sort of. +[565.24 --> 567.94] I'll keep talking. Courtney, you figured it. Perfect. Good morning. +[569.68 --> 576.28] Welcome to church. We're really excited that you are here, especially if you are here visiting +[576.28 --> 581.26] with us this morning. As people are making their way in, there's lots of room up front. +[581.26 --> 590.14] Come on in. No? No takers? No? Okay. We are really excited to worship with you this morning. +[590.36 --> 596.06] My name is Chris. I'm one of the pastors here, and this morning it's my privilege to lead you +[596.06 --> 601.98] along with these others and some who you don't yet see in our shared worship together today. +[602.34 --> 606.58] If you are visiting with us this morning, we would love to connect with you. +[607.04 --> 611.22] We can do that a couple ways. Of course, you can just grab me or someone with a name tag, +[611.26 --> 616.28] after the service, and touch base with them. Or you can grab one of these cards, fill it out, +[616.34 --> 621.38] and leave it by the church office, or put it in the collection bag. Or there's a QR code you can +[621.38 --> 627.00] scan, and you can do the form online. We would just love to connect with you and hear your story of life +[627.00 --> 633.46] and faith and engage you and wonder how we can walk alongside you in whatever it is you're facing +[633.46 --> 638.88] this morning. There are a number of things that are happening in the life of our church, and so I'm +[638.88 --> 642.76] going to invite Linda to come to the front. She's going to make an announcement on behalf of the +[642.76 --> 649.92] Women's Ministry. Why don't you do that now? And as she's making her way up, this is the final week +[649.92 --> 656.04] for us to receive applications for the Young Adult Coordinator position. And so if you've been around, +[656.12 --> 661.16] you know that that's happening. Applications close this week on Tuesday, technically. And so if you know +[661.16 --> 667.04] someone, or if you were planning to apply, please get that application in to us as quick as you can. +[667.54 --> 669.96] Thank you. Linda, why don't you use that? Oh, you have a microphone. Even better. +[670.74 --> 674.36] Good morning. My name is Linda Molenkamp, and I'm part of the Women's Ministry team. +[674.90 --> 680.80] And we are super excited about a women's event coming up. We realize it's been since December 2019 +[680.80 --> 688.26] we've gotten together, so we are so excited to be hosting this event. It is October, Friday, October 28th, +[688.26 --> 695.46] from 7 to 10 p.m. And Saturday, October 29th, from 9 to 2 p.m. And if you can only come to one of those evenings, +[695.58 --> 701.20] that's fantastic. We will really welcome you. We have a table at the back, so if you want to come, +[701.64 --> 706.44] if you have any questions after church, we'll be at the table there, and you can ask us questions about the speaker +[706.44 --> 713.36] and what's happening that weekend. And we invite all women to please join us. We're just really wanting to get together, +[713.96 --> 718.18] spend some time together that weekend. There's a notice in the bulletin that has a +[718.18 --> 724.54] few more details. We have a few requests for volunteers, but if you want to check the bulletin +[724.54 --> 730.40] for the details, there's phone numbers from all of us ladies. You can reach us, you can text us, +[730.52 --> 736.66] you can phone us, or email us. So I don't think you should want to text me, because my number's wrong +[736.66 --> 741.78] in the bulletin. So if you text me, you might be signing up for something different, like square +[741.78 --> 747.40] dancing or something. So you'd probably rather come to this event. Please talk to us after church, +[747.40 --> 749.48] and we look forward to seeing you. Thank you. +[753.76 --> 758.44] Linda reminds me, you do need to RSVP so we know how much food to prepare for you. Thank you. +[758.44 --> 769.90] As you are able, and where you are, I'm going to invite you to stand. We can be welcomed by God in our +[769.90 --> 770.68] worship together. +[775.20 --> 783.40] God speaks his name over us and ushers into this place where two or three are gathered in his name, +[783.40 --> 793.08] and so receive his greeting. Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, from the Lord Jesus +[793.08 --> 801.54] Christ, Son and our Savior, through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's worship God together. +[801.54 --> 813.30] In Psalm 145, David calls us to look back on our lives and the generations before us, and reflect on the +[813.30 --> 821.24] goodness of God. We're encouraged to praise God for his greatness, his compassion, and his faithfulness, +[821.80 --> 829.12] and to thank him for his promises, promises that we can count on, not only in good times, but also in +[829.12 --> 836.78] times of trial and sorrow. The Lord is good to all. He has compassion on all that he has made. +[837.20 --> 838.24] Let's worship together. +[838.24 --> 838.36] Amen. +[838.36 --> 839.36] Amen. +[839.36 --> 840.36] Amen. +[848.36 --> 852.44] The Lord is gracious and compassionate. +[852.44 --> 874.60] Slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is gracious and compassionate. Slow to anger and rich in love. +[874.60 --> 888.60] And the Lord is good to all. He has compassion on all that he has made. +[888.60 --> 901.60] As far as peace is from the land, and so far, he's removed your transmissions from us. +[901.60 --> 924.60] Praise the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord. +[924.60 --> 928.66] Praise the Lord. +[928.66 --> 943.06] Praise the Lord, all my soul, praise the Lord +[943.06 --> 948.96] The Lord is gracious and compassionate +[948.96 --> 957.26] So to anger and rich in love +[957.26 --> 962.56] The Lord is gracious and compassionate +[962.56 --> 971.36] So to anger and rich in love +[971.36 --> 977.46] And the Lord is good to all +[977.46 --> 983.96] He has compassion for all that He has made +[983.96 --> 991.16] As far as He is from the West +[991.16 --> 998.56] And so far He has removed our transgressions from us +[998.56 --> 1005.76] As far as He is from the West +[1005.76 --> 1011.76] And so far He has removed our transgressions from us +[1011.76 --> 1020.96] Praise the Lord, all my soul +[1020.96 --> 1024.96] Praise the Lord +[1024.96 --> 1034.96] Praise the Lord, all my soul +[1034.96 --> 1042.16] Praise the Lord +[1042.16 --> 1050.16] Praise the Lord, all my soul +[1050.16 --> 1056.16] Praise the Lord +[1056.16 --> 1063.36] Praise the Lord +[1063.36 --> 1070.56] Praise the Lord +[1070.56 --> 1077.76] Praise the Lord +[1077.76 --> 1092.96] Praise the Lord +[1092.96 --> 1096.96] Worthy of every song we could ever sing +[1096.96 --> 1103.96] Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring +[1103.96 --> 1111.16] Worthy of every song we could ever bring +[1111.16 --> 1113.16] We live for you +[1113.16 -->

1348.24] We love you, Lord +[1348.24 --> 1352.18] But we confess that we can struggle +[1352.18 --> 1354.96] With reconciling your ways +[1354.96 --> 1357.04] With our desires and plans +[1357.04 --> 1362.34] We confess that we don't always fully place our trust in you +[1362.34 --> 1365.94] That in times of trial and weakness +[1365.94 --> 1370.06] We can be short-sighted and impatient in our faith +[1370.06 --> 1373.56] Help us in our weakness, we pray, Lord +[1373.56 --> 1376.26] Forgive our times of unbelief +[1376.26 --> 1379.24] And doubt in your sovereignty over our lives +[1379.24 --> 1385.02] Lord, may our hearts be filled with the final words of Psalm 13 +[1385.02 --> 1388.48] But I trust in your unfailing love +[1388.48 --> 1391.82] My heart rejoices in your salvation +[1391.82 --> 1394.94] I will sing the Lord's praise +[1394.94 --> 1397.12] For he has been good to me +[1397.12 --> 1427.10] I cry out for your hand of mercy to heal me +[1427.10 --> 1430.80] I am free, I am free +[1430.80 --> 1436.06] I need your love to free me +[1436.06 --> 1439.52] Oh, Lord, my Lord +[1439.52 --> 1443.90] My strength and weakness +[1443.90 --> 1448.74] Have rescued me

of our gifts +[1870.26 --> 1875.30] First to the budget and the special offering will be for Night Shift Ministries +[1875.30 --> 1886.78] Night Shift is a non-profit organization offering food, clothing, crisis counseling, basic nursing, prayer, and other services to those in need +[1886.78 --> 1892.12] The outreach happens 365 days a year +[1892.12 --> 1895.62] They have a volunteer base of over 2,500 people +[1895.62 --> 1898.62] And your financial support is greatly appreciated +[1898.62 --> 1902.96] Matthew 25, verse 35 and 36 +[1902.96 --> 1905.74] For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat +[1905.74 --> 1908.44] I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink +[1908.44 --> 1911.24] I was a stranger and you invited me in +[1911.24 --> 1913.14] I needed clothes and you clothed me +[1913.14 --> 1915.74] I was sick and you looked after me +[1915.74 --> 1918.22] I was in prison and you came to visit me +[1918.22 --> 1922.42] Next week's offering will be for Wagner Hills +[1922.42 --> 1923.26] Thank you +[1923.26 --> 1924.26] Thank you +[1924.26 --> 1925.26] Thank you +[1925.26 --> 1926.26] Thank you +[1926.26 --> 1928.26] Thank you +[1928.26 --> 1930.26] Thank you +[1930.26 --> 1943.94] Thank you +[1943.94 --> 1948.08] Thank you +[1948.08 --> 1958.68] In the depths I cry to you, in darkest places I will call. +[1959.48 --> 1967.78] Inclined your ear to be a new, and here I cry for mercy. +[1967.78 --> 1979.78] Oh, how could I come before your throne? +[1980.86 --> 1990.18] Yet full forgiveness meets my name, I stand redeemed by grace alone. +[1990.18 --> 2001.10] I will wait for you, I will wait for you, on your word I will rely. +[2002.66 --> 2011.82] I will wait for you, surely wait for you, till my soul is satisfied. +[2020.18 --> 2031.24] So push your hope in God alone, take courage in His power to stay. +[2032.44 --> 2042.02] Completely and forever won, by Christ emerging from the grave. +[2042.02 --> 2052.94] I will wait for you, I will wait for you, on your word I will rely. +[2054.32 --> 2063.56] I will wait for you, surely wait for you, till my soul satisfies. +[2063.56 --> 2093.54] I will wait for you, till my soul satisfies. +[2093.56 --> 2107.04] I will wait for you, I will wait for you, through the storm and through the night. +[2107.58 --> 2116.96] I will wait for you, surely wait for you, for your love is my delight. +[2117.12 --> 2134.18] I will wait for you, I will wait for you, I will wait for you, I will wait for you, till my soul satisfies. +[2134.18 --> 2140.42] Till my soul is satisfied. +[2164.18 --> 2166.32] Good morning, everyone. +[2166.48 --> 2168.28] Before we get to Kids Corner this morning, +[2168.44 --> 2170.24] we had a council meeting this week, +[2170.30 --> 2175.42] so at this time I just want to give you all a summary of what we were talking about, +[2175.42 --> 2179.84] what was on the agenda this week, so I will do that this time. +[2181.00 --> 2184.52] Some of the highlights from this meeting this week on Tuesday +[2184.52 --> 2187.36] was we reviewed the ministry leader and coordinator list, +[2187.42 --> 2189.88] so we have a nice list of ministry leaders at this church, +[2189.88 --> 2194.68] and it was great to see all the people who are involved in all the ministries here +[2194.68 --> 2197.38] making the programs and stuff happen at this church, +[2197.48 --> 2199.10] so that was great to be able to review that. +[2201.02 --> 2205.58] We had a report on the Safe Church training sessions +[2205.58 --> 2208.30] that have been going on here over the last little bit. +[2208.38 --> 2210.36] I think there might be one more coming up or no? +[2210.96 --> 2211.32] Hopefully. +[2211.96 --> 2212.16] Okay. +[2213.04 --> 2215.30] We have an updated facility use policy. +[2215.42 --> 2217.26] We've got a lot of interest in our church right now. +[2217.36 --> 2218.62] We're renting some facilities here, +[2218.62 --> 2222.78] so we are working on a policy for rentals. +[2224.94 --> 2226.84] Spent a considerable time reviewing. +[2226.96 --> 2228.02] This is budget time of the year, +[2228.06 --> 2230.16] so we spent a considerable time reviewing the budget +[2230.16 --> 2231.96] at our council meeting +[2231.96 --> 2235.00] and preparing it to present to you, to the congregation. +[2236.36 --> 2238.12] Our pastors gave us some reports. +[2239.72 --> 2241.20] For your information, +[2241.36 --> 2244.32] classes is happening this week in Surrey at Fleetwood. +[2245.74 --> 2246.88] And good news, I guess, +[2246.88 --> 2249.18] the new chairs have been ordered for the sanctuary, +[2249.38 --> 2251.00] so they should be coming sometime. +[2252.00 --> 2254.80] I think Sylvie said it might take 14 weeks or something like that, +[2254.84 --> 2257.04] so that's on the schedule. +[2257.46 --> 2258.96] So that's what happens. +[2260.06 --> 2261.72] All right, I'm taking my council hat off, +[2261.74 --> 2265.38] and now we're going to do children's worship time activities. +[2265.54 --> 2267.10] So if all the kids want to come up front +[2267.10 --> 2268.66] to hear for children's worship time, +[2268.66 --> 2270.40] that would be great. +[2277.78 --> 2278.80] Awesome, you're fast. +[2282.02 --> 2283.50] If you're a visitor here, +[2284.06 --> 2286.42] I think it's anyone who's eligible +[2286.42 --> 2289.00] to go to children's worship time up to grade four? +[2290.00 --> 2290.92] Up to grade four. +[2291.04 --> 2291.30] All right. +[2292.12 --> 2293.72] Oh, we got a nice crew of kids here this morning. +[2293.78 --> 2294.68] This morning, kids, +[2294.98 --> 2295.86] how's everybody doing? +[2295.86 --> 2298.22] Can we do that louder? +[2298.78 --> 2299.22] Yes! +[2299.90 --> 2300.60] I like that. +[2301.16 --> 2301.98] All right. +[2303.02 --> 2304.08] This morning, +[2304.38 --> 2306.50] we are talking about +[2306.50 --> 2308.88] Genesis in the Bible, +[2309.28 --> 2313.40] and God created the earth in six days, +[2313.44 --> 2314.30] and on the seventh day, +[2314.38 --> 2314.92] he rested. +[2315.04 --> 2317.12] So we're going to talk a little bit about rest today. +[2318.44 --> 2319.86] Now, I used to have, +[2320.02 --> 2320.64] or I had, +[2320.76 --> 2322.06] kids that were about your age, +[2322.10 --> 2323.48] and I remember when they were little, +[2323.48 --> 2325.62] they often needed a lot of rest. +[2325.68 --> 2326.50] Do you guys need rest, +[2326.54 --> 2327.28] or can you guys, like, +[2327.32 --> 2328.82] stay up pretty late at night and stuff? +[2329.98 --> 2330.46] Oh, yeah? +[2330.52 --> 2330.88] You can? +[2331.82 --> 2332.38] Okay, well, +[2332.48 --> 2333.66] I did a little bit of research +[2333.66 --> 2334.94] because I had some good memories +[2334.94 --> 2336.32] of what my kids were like +[2336.32 --> 2337.66] when they were a little younger +[2337.66 --> 2338.46] than maybe you guys, +[2338.52 --> 2339.70] and they would just be playing +[2339.70 --> 2340.60] as hard as they could, +[2340.66 --> 2341.72] and then they would kind of, like, +[2341.78 --> 2342.58] just pass out +[2342.58 --> 2343.60] and need a lot of rest. +[2344.18 --> 2345.42] So can everybody see +[2345.42 --> 2346.96] the screen up front there? +[2348.90 --> 2349.54] We're going to roll. +[2349.62 --> 2350.86] Does any of this look like you? +[2350.94 --> 2351.56] Have any of you guys +[2351.56 --> 2353.14] ever been in this kind of position before? +[2353.68 --> 2354.70] I bet you your parents +[2354.70 --> 2355.40] would say otherwise. +[2355.60 --> 2356.54] Okay, the next one. +[2356.70 --> 2357.32] How about that? +[2357.40 --> 2357.92] Is that you? +[2359.58 --> 2360.52] Never done that? +[2361.00 --> 2362.02] How about the next one? +[2362.66 --> 2363.46] How about that one? +[2364.28 --> 2365.72] How about at this time of the year? +[2365.98 --> 2367.28] There's lots of pumpkins out there. +[2367.34 --> 2368.18] Nobody's done that? +[2368.94 --> 2369.82] How about the next one? +[2370.60 --> 2371.68] How about that? +[2371.94 --> 2372.98] Going for a walk? +[2374.16 --> 2374.78] Never did that. +[2374.82 --> 2375.64] How about the next one? +[2376.16 --> 2376.86] How about that one? +[2376.86 --> 2376.88] How about that one? +[2376.88 --> 2380.90] Nobody's done that? +[2383.12 --> 2384.66] I think I caught one of my boys +[2384.66 --> 2385.50] doing that one time. +[2385.60 --> 2386.44] Okay, next one. +[2386.96 --> 2387.76] How about that one? +[2387.80 --> 2388.82] Going shopping with mom. +[2391.06 --> 2392.28] How about the next one? +[2393.34 --> 2393.98] How about a... +[2393.98 --> 2394.78] Have you ever seen a... +[2394.78 --> 2395.54] What about that line? +[2395.60 --> 2396.82] Is he taking a nice little nap +[2396.82 --> 2397.60] there on that log? +[2398.10 --> 2398.46] Never. +[2398.90 --> 2399.24] No. +[2399.94 --> 2401.04] And I think there's one more. +[2401.12 --> 2401.90] Another pet one. +[2402.32 --> 2403.04] How about that guy? +[2403.04 --> 2404.56] He's taking a break there, too. +[2404.56 --> 2407.62] All right, so today we're going to +[2407.62 --> 2408.78] talk a bit about rest +[2408.78 --> 2409.78] and children's worship time, +[2409.86 --> 2410.88] but before we do that, +[2410.96 --> 2411.90] we're going to do the blessings, +[2412.06 --> 2413.28] so can everyone stand up +[2413.28 --> 2414.34] and face the congregation? +[2419.48 --> 2419.84] Ready? +[2420.06 --> 2420.56] The... +[2420.56 --> 2422.56] The... +[2422.56 --> 2423.56] The... +[2423.56 --> 2424.56] The... +[2424.56 --> 2425.56] The... +[2434.56 --> 2460.30] Before we open God's Word together, +[2460.30 --> 2461.98] I'm going to lead us +[2461.98 --> 2463.80] in our church family prayer. +[2467.98 --> 2468.98] In this prayer, +[2469.16 --> 2471.40] we're going to pray for a few things. +[2472.10 --> 2472.90] First of all, +[2473.48 --> 2474.90] we are going to pray +[2474.90 --> 2476.82] for the election +[2476.82 --> 2477.98] that took place yesterday +[2477.98 --> 2479.14] and the leaders +[2479.14 --> 2480.96] who were elected there. +[2482.30 --> 2483.74] I don't see her this morning, +[2483.88 --> 2484.64] but Marg Kuntz, +[2484.74 --> 2485.10] who is... +[2485.10 --> 2485.64] There you are. +[2485.74 --> 2486.06] Thank you. +[2486.14 --> 2487.12] Marg was re-elected, +[2487.12 --> 2488.66] so congratulations to you. +[2488.66 --> 2488.78] Thank you. +[2491.98 --> 2495.06] You can chat with her +[2495.06 --> 2495.84] after the service. +[2495.92 --> 2497.38] I'm sure she would appreciate that. +[2498.18 --> 2499.38] Also, we're going to pray +[2499.38 --> 2500.16] for some people +[2500.16 --> 2502.96] who need our intercession +[2502.96 --> 2504.40] and who are mourning, +[2504.62 --> 2505.60] and so we're going to pray +[2505.60 --> 2507.20] with Elsa Hubertz. +[2508.04 --> 2509.30] Her father, Cornelius, +[2509.38 --> 2509.98] passed away, +[2510.68 --> 2512.40] 94 years old, +[2512.74 --> 2515.18] this past Friday, +[2515.18 --> 2516.38] and so they are +[2516.38 --> 2518.06] in the midst of mourning +[2518.06 --> 2519.68] and making plans there, +[2519.68 --> 2520.70] and so we're going to pray +[2520.70 --> 2522.44] for the Hubertz family +[2522.44 --> 2523.82] and the Verkike families +[2523.82 --> 2524.32] as well, +[2524.66 --> 2525.76] Case and Anna Marie, +[2525.98 --> 2528.22] who are nephews to Cornelius. +[2529.02 --> 2531.16] There's lots of connections there. +[2531.98 --> 2533.52] We're also going to pray +[2533.52 --> 2536.00] this morning for John Trass. +[2536.34 --> 2537.70] John used to be a member here. +[2537.80 --> 2539.72] He's Ivan, Kim's father, +[2540.76 --> 2541.84] brother-in-law, right, +[2541.92 --> 2543.40] Dolores, brother-in-law to you. +[2543.64 --> 2544.24] Connected here. +[2544.24 --> 2547.26] He fell into his mechanics pit +[2547.26 --> 2550.18] and is in the hospital, +[2550.44 --> 2551.56] has broken ribs +[2551.56 --> 2552.78] and broken vertebrae +[2552.78 --> 2554.96] and will need surgery, +[2555.70 --> 2559.94] and right now is sleeping, +[2560.44 --> 2563.14] but they're asking for our prayers +[2563.14 --> 2564.10] and for intercession +[2564.10 --> 2564.80] on their behalf, +[2564.88 --> 2566.26] so we're going to pray +[2566.26 --> 2567.92] for them as well. +[2568.64 --> 2569.68] There are other things +[2569.68 --> 2570.44] that will come up +[2570.44 --> 2571.48] in our prayer +[2571.48 --> 2572.32] that you can find +[2572.32 --> 2574.16] also made reference to +[2574.16 --> 2575.26] in our e-bulletin +[2575.26 --> 2576.40] that goes out. +[2576.70 --> 2577.46] Will you join your heart +[2577.46 --> 2578.52] with me in prayer? +[2584.02 --> 2587.04] Holy and almighty God, +[2587.68 --> 2588.76] we gather here +[2588.76 --> 2590.74] as your bride, +[2591.46 --> 2592.60] as the church family, +[2593.16 --> 2595.40] because you are most worthy +[2595.40 --> 2596.42] to be praised. +[2597.22 --> 2598.38] We gather here +[2598.38 --> 2600.18] because you are God alone +[2600.18 --> 2601.66] and to you alone +[2601.66 --> 2603.40] may we cry out for help. +[2603.76 --> 2604.78] To you alone +[2604.78 --> 2606.30] should we cry out for help +[2606.30 --> 2607.52] because you alone +[2607.52 --> 2609.02] are the only one +[2609.02 --> 2611.56] able to do anything about it. +[2611.62 --> 2612.72] And so, Lord God, +[2612.80 --> 2614.10] in your majesty, +[2614.34 --> 2616.22] in your sovereign power, +[2616.46 --> 2618.26] hear our prayers +[2618.26 --> 2619.86] and use them +[2619.86 --> 2622.36] to guide and to shape history +[2622.36 --> 2624.66] towards your ends +[2624.66 --> 2625.94] for your glory +[2625.94 --> 2627.20] and for the good +[2627.20 --> 2628.18] of all those +[2628.18 --> 2629.20] whom you have called. +[2631.04 --> 2631.82] Father God, +[2631.90 --> 2632.76] as we gather +[2632.76 --> 2633.86] in this place, +[2634.06 --> 2634.82] we know that there +[2634.82 --> 2636.60] are places +[2636.60 --> 2637.50] around the world +[2637.50 --> 2638.24] that are unable +[2638.24 --> 2638.98] to do so. +[2640.28 --> 2640.96] There are Christians +[2640.96 --> 2642.56] who cannot gather +[2642.56 --> 2644.14] in groups of this size +[2644.14 --> 2645.66] or in groups at all +[2645.66 --> 2646.98] for fear of death +[2646.98 --> 2648.00] or being arrested +[2648.00 --> 2649.46] because of persecution. +[2650.36 --> 2650.70] And so, +[2650.80 --> 2651.62] we pray for them +[2651.62 --> 2653.06] both for the boldness +[2653.06 --> 2653.92] of their faith +[2653.92 --> 2655.52] in still yet gathering +[2655.52 --> 2656.40] as well, +[2656.54 --> 2656.96] Lord God, +[2657.02 --> 2658.42] that you would protect them +[2658.42 --> 2660.06] and preserve them. +[2662.50 --> 2663.34] And God, +[2663.48 --> 2665.94] through their mighty influence, +[2666.82 --> 2668.88] may they change +[2668.88 --> 2670.16] the world around them. +[2671.28 --> 2672.68] May we be inspired +[2672.68 --> 2673.98] to change the world +[2673.98 --> 2674.88] around us +[2674.88 --> 2676.48] even as we gather +[2676.48 --> 2678.04] here in this place. +[2678.18 --> 2678.72] We thank you +[2678.72 --> 2679.52] for the opportunity +[2679.52 --> 2680.40] to do so +[2680.40 --> 2681.42] and we thank you +[2681.42 --> 2682.04] for the brothers +[2682.04 --> 2682.70] and sisters +[2682.70 --> 2684.28] with whom we gather. +[2684.28 --> 2685.16] We thank you +[2685.16 --> 2685.90] for the questions +[2685.90 --> 2687.46] that draw us here, +[2687.62 --> 2688.60] for the praises +[2688.60 --> 2690.18] that emanate from here, +[2690.28 --> 2691.64] and as we go +[2691.64 --> 2692.50] later today, +[2692.64 --> 2693.46] may we do so +[2693.46 --> 2694.22] in the power +[2694.22 --> 2695.92] of your holy name +[2695.92 --> 2696.50] to reveal +[2696.50 --> 2697.56] your kingdom come +[2697.56 --> 2698.98] and your kingdom coming, +[2699.38 --> 2700.28] that we might be +[2700.28 --> 2700.80] ambassadors +[2700.80 --> 2701.80] of reconciliation +[2701.80 --> 2702.78] and agents +[2702.78 --> 2703.48] of transformation +[2703.48 --> 2705.34] in our homes +[2705.34 --> 2706.28] and our neighborhoods, +[2706.56 --> 2707.36] our workplaces, +[2707.48 --> 2708.60] and wherever it is, +[2708.72 --> 2709.08] Lord God, +[2709.14 --> 2709.82] that you call us, +[2709.88 --> 2710.28] whether that is +[2710.28 --> 2711.14] around the world +[2711.14 --> 2712.80] or close to home. +[2712.80 --> 2715.74] Father, +[2715.84 --> 2716.54] as we look +[2716.54 --> 2718.12] close to home, +[2718.28 --> 2719.30] we know that there are +[2719.30 --> 2720.74] still wildfires +[2720.74 --> 2721.64] that are persisting +[2721.64 --> 2722.26] and new fires +[2722.26 --> 2723.08] that are starting up +[2723.08 --> 2723.50] and that are, +[2723.80 --> 2724.62] once again, +[2724.74 --> 2725.70] we are experiencing +[2725.70 --> 2727.18] a season of drought. +[2728.50 --> 2729.00] And so, God, +[2729.06 --> 2732.24] we praise your name +[2732.24 --> 2733.40] for the weather +[2733.40 --> 2734.24] that we have had +[2734.24 --> 2735.14] and for the blessing +[2735.14 --> 2735.88] that it has been +[2735.88 --> 2736.72] into October +[2736.72 --> 2738.80] to enjoy it as such +[2738.80 --> 2740.68] and yet we need rain. +[2741.86 --> 2742.48] Father God, +[2742.48 --> 2743.80] we have only had +[2743.80 --> 2745.38] 20 millimeters of rain +[2745.38 --> 2746.26] since July +[2746.26 --> 2747.56] and we ask +[2747.56 --> 2748.38] that you would +[2748.38 --> 2750.06] send rain. +[2752.76 --> 2753.24] God, +[2753.30 --> 2754.42] we pray for those +[2754.42 --> 2755.08] who are affected +[2755.08 --> 2756.54] by these fires, +[2756.78 --> 2758.06] both in the damage +[2758.06 --> 2759.26] of property +[2759.26 --> 2761.28] and the loss of life, +[2761.36 --> 2763.16] but also for the quality +[2763.16 --> 2763.82] of life +[2763.82 --> 2764.38] and the air, +[2764.56 --> 2765.72] the impact on air +[2765.72 --> 2766.32] and the struggle +[2766.32 --> 2767.60] that some have to breathe +[2767.60 --> 2768.80] during these times. +[2768.92 --> 2770.70] We pray that you would +[2770.70 --> 2772.22] be near to them +[2772.22 --> 2773.36] and restore them +[2773.36 --> 2774.92] and protect them +[2774.92 --> 2775.94] in this season. +[2777.58 --> 2778.32] As well, +[2778.38 --> 2778.80] Lord God, +[2778.92 --> 2779.50] here, +[2779.92 --> 2781.18] we thank you +[2781.18 --> 2783.46] for yesterday's election. +[2784.02 --> 2785.00] We thank you +[2785.00 --> 2785.56] for the way +[2785.56 --> 2787.30] that you are at work +[2787.30 --> 2787.94] among us +[2787.94 --> 2789.20] through elected officials +[2789.20 --> 2790.24] and public servants. +[2790.76 --> 2791.46] We pray, +[2791.72 --> 2791.92] Lord, +[2792.02 --> 2792.98] for the humility +[2792.98 --> 2793.92] of leaders +[2793.92 --> 2795.16] to serve you +[2795.16 --> 2797.06] in their office. +[2797.68 --> 2798.10] God, +[2798.16 --> 2798.56] even though +[2798.56 --> 2799.66] not all +[2799.66 --> 2801.00] acknowledge you +[2801.00 --> 2801.70] as Lord, +[2801.84 --> 2802.22] even though +[2802.22 --> 2803.30] not all who serve +[2803.30 --> 2804.28] do so +[2804.28 --> 2805.18] out of the power +[2805.18 --> 2805.78] of your name +[2805.78 --> 2806.82] and your Holy Spirit, +[2807.32 --> 2808.26] we pray that you +[2808.26 --> 2809.48] would use them +[2809.48 --> 2810.52] mightily. +[2812.00 --> 2812.66] And God, +[2812.72 --> 2813.58] for those who do +[2813.58 --> 2815.68] serve from that way, +[2815.78 --> 2816.30] for those who +[2816.30 --> 2818.10] walk into this position +[2818.10 --> 2819.70] holding up Jesus Christ +[2819.70 --> 2820.42] as the example +[2820.42 --> 2821.24] of what it means +[2821.24 --> 2821.78] to serve +[2821.78 --> 2822.46] and to lead, +[2823.04 --> 2823.74] we pray that you +[2823.74 --> 2824.82] would embolden them +[2824.82 --> 2825.66] in their faith, +[2825.80 --> 2827.02] that you would protect them +[2827.02 --> 2827.90] in their commitments, +[2828.18 --> 2828.84] and we pray, +[2828.98 --> 2829.30] Lord God, +[2829.36 --> 2830.78] that you would inspire them +[2830.78 --> 2832.28] to serve well. +[2834.28 --> 2834.74] God, +[2834.82 --> 2835.26] for Marg +[2835.26 --> 2835.82] and the service +[2835.82 --> 2837.06] that she is entering into, +[2837.20 --> 2839.08] we pray your hand upon her. +[2839.80 --> 2840.30] Bless her +[2840.30 --> 2841.06] and keep her. +[2841.18 --> 2841.86] Make your face +[2841.86 --> 2842.82] to shine upon her. +[2843.22 --> 2844.32] Be gracious to her. +[2845.12 --> 2846.12] Turn your face +[2846.12 --> 2846.68] toward her +[2846.68 --> 2847.50] in this task +[2847.50 --> 2849.40] and give her peace. +[2851.72 --> 2852.38] Father God, +[2852.44 --> 2853.60] we pray much the same +[2853.60 --> 2855.42] for the new mayor +[2855.42 --> 2856.72] of Langley Township, +[2856.82 --> 2857.24] for Eric, +[2857.34 --> 2858.00] and the new mayor +[2858.00 --> 2858.86] of Langley City, +[2859.00 --> 2859.46] for Nathan. +[2859.92 --> 2860.90] We ask God +[2860.90 --> 2861.58] that you would +[2861.58 --> 2863.14] work in them +[2863.14 --> 2863.74] and through them +[2863.74 --> 2864.46] and may they +[2864.46 --> 2866.30] experience blessing +[2866.30 --> 2867.26] and may we +[2867.26 --> 2868.10] by them +[2868.10 --> 2869.36] be blessed. +[2872.54 --> 2873.28] Father God, +[2873.34 --> 2875.38] we celebrate +[2875.38 --> 2876.88] today +[2876.88 --> 2877.56] with the +[2877.56 --> 2878.70] Agile family +[2878.70 --> 2879.66] and the +[2879.66 --> 2880.22] citizenship, +[2880.40 --> 2881.28] the Canadian citizenship +[2881.28 --> 2882.52] that they have received. +[2882.52 --> 2884.02] we praise God, +[2884.42 --> 2885.42] we praise you God +[2885.42 --> 2886.12] for this +[2886.12 --> 2888.28] opportunity to celebrate +[2888.28 --> 2889.12] with them +[2889.12 --> 2889.88] for the journey +[2889.88 --> 2890.98] that we have been on +[2890.98 --> 2891.56] with them +[2891.56 --> 2893.00] from refugees +[2893.00 --> 2894.42] now to citizens +[2894.42 --> 2895.94] and to brothers +[2895.94 --> 2896.70] and sisters. +[2897.38 --> 2897.78] We pray, +[2897.92 --> 2898.26] Lord God, +[2898.30 --> 2898.74] that you would +[2898.74 --> 2900.42] continue to +[2900.42 --> 2901.54] hold them +[2901.54 --> 2902.38] and uphold them +[2902.38 --> 2903.82] and as +[2903.82 --> 2905.24] Talal waits +[2905.24 --> 2906.24] for his +[2906.24 --> 2906.88] citizenship +[2906.88 --> 2907.48] paperwork, +[2908.12 --> 2909.12] we pray that you would +[2909.12 --> 2910.40] expedite that process +[2910.40 --> 2911.18] so he can +[2911.18 --> 2913.30] join in +[2913.30 --> 2914.42] this celebration +[2914.42 --> 2915.10] with the rest +[2915.10 --> 2916.14] of his family +[2916.14 --> 2917.08] as well. +[2919.08 --> 2919.92] Lord our God, +[2920.00 --> 2920.86] we pray for +[2920.86 --> 2922.40] intercession +[2922.40 --> 2923.32] in the lives +[2923.32 --> 2923.94] of those +[2923.94 --> 2925.00] who are mourning. +[2926.14 --> 2926.94] We think of +[2926.94 --> 2928.18] Cornelius' family, +[2929.14 --> 2929.90] we think of the +[2929.90 --> 2930.26] Hubert's +[2930.26 --> 2930.44] and the +[2930.44 --> 2930.88] Kikes, +[2931.12 --> 2932.04] Case and Marie +[2932.04 --> 2932.78] and ask, +[2932.92 --> 2933.32] Lord God, +[2933.40 --> 2934.64] that you would +[2934.64 --> 2935.68] draw near to them +[2935.68 --> 2936.60] in these days. +[2936.60 --> 2938.36] we ask, +[2938.46 --> 2938.80] Lord God, +[2938.86 --> 2940.36] that there would +[2940.36 --> 2941.14] be throughout +[2941.14 --> 2942.28] this time of +[2942.28 --> 2943.50] grief a testimony +[2943.50 --> 2945.16] of your nearness. +[2946.80 --> 2948.20] And as plans +[2948.20 --> 2948.80] are made +[2948.80 --> 2949.48] and as families +[2949.48 --> 2950.10] come together +[2950.10 --> 2951.00] to make decisions, +[2951.56 --> 2951.90] Lord God, +[2951.96 --> 2952.92] we pray for peace +[2952.92 --> 2954.16] in that process. +[2955.78 --> 2956.86] Draw near to all +[2956.86 --> 2957.70] that they might +[2957.70 --> 2958.82] receive from you +[2958.82 --> 2960.08] what they need. +[2962.28 --> 2962.80] Father, +[2962.92 --> 2963.44] as we +[2963.44 --> 2964.98] mourn this +[2964.98 --> 2965.84] loss with them, +[2965.84 --> 2966.54] we are mindful +[2966.54 --> 2967.38] of all those +[2967.38 --> 2968.60] who continue +[2968.60 --> 2969.30] in mourning. +[2970.12 --> 2970.74] We are mindful +[2970.74 --> 2973.04] of anniversaries +[2973.04 --> 2974.30] of deaths +[2974.30 --> 2975.00] that are +[2975.00 --> 2976.00] upcoming. +[2977.12 --> 2977.64] And we pray, +[2977.78 --> 2978.14] Lord God, +[2978.20 --> 2979.12] that in these days +[2979.12 --> 2979.70] and weeks, +[2980.18 --> 2981.50] even as our grief +[2981.50 --> 2982.44] persists, +[2982.70 --> 2983.48] we would know +[2983.48 --> 2984.76] your nearness. +[2985.42 --> 2985.92] We would know +[2985.92 --> 2986.54] your presence. +[2989.38 --> 2990.70] Speak words +[2990.70 --> 2991.30] of hope +[2991.30 --> 2992.40] and comfort +[2992.40 --> 2994.34] to our souls +[2994.34 --> 2995.70] as we walk +[2995.70 --> 2996.48] through the valley +[2996.48 --> 2997.14] of the shadow +[2997.14 --> 2997.58] of death. +[2999.30 --> 3000.06] Lord our God, +[3000.12 --> 3001.06] we pray also +[3001.06 --> 3002.50] for John Trass, +[3003.30 --> 3004.08] asking that you +[3004.08 --> 3005.34] would heal him, +[3006.14 --> 3006.74] asking that you +[3006.74 --> 3008.22] would protect him +[3008.22 --> 3009.08] and restore him, +[3009.14 --> 3009.62] whether it is +[3009.62 --> 3010.88] through the hands +[3010.88 --> 3011.76] of the surgeons, +[3011.98 --> 3012.46] the doctors, +[3012.60 --> 3013.58] and the hospital staff +[3013.58 --> 3014.94] who will provide +[3014.94 --> 3015.38] for him, +[3015.42 --> 3016.64] or through miraculous +[3016.64 --> 3017.16] means, +[3017.28 --> 3017.64] we pray, +[3017.78 --> 3018.20] Lord God, +[3018.30 --> 3020.10] hold him in your care +[3020.10 --> 3021.26] and may he know +[3021.26 --> 3023.02] your healing hand +[3023.02 --> 3023.70] upon him. +[3025.02 --> 3026.82] We pray for the family +[3026.82 --> 3027.68] and extended family +[3027.68 --> 3028.20] and friends +[3028.20 --> 3029.10] who will support +[3029.10 --> 3030.08] during this time. +[3030.22 --> 3030.78] May they too +[3030.78 --> 3032.44] know and see you +[3032.44 --> 3033.96] at work in the world, +[3034.10 --> 3035.42] in and through them, +[3035.84 --> 3036.92] as they serve John +[3036.92 --> 3037.48] in prayer +[3037.48 --> 3039.20] and in ministry. +[3041.80 --> 3042.62] Holy God, +[3042.62 --> 3045.96] we have a number +[3045.96 --> 3047.64] of members +[3047.64 --> 3049.34] and family +[3049.34 --> 3051.18] who are stepping +[3051.18 --> 3053.14] into intentional areas +[3053.14 --> 3053.76] of mission +[3053.76 --> 3054.78] and ministry +[3054.78 --> 3055.36] for you. +[3055.90 --> 3056.74] We think of Jared +[3056.74 --> 3057.70] with Cape and Ray +[3057.70 --> 3058.62] in Costa Rica. +[3058.80 --> 3059.94] We think of Cameron +[3059.94 --> 3061.60] who will be with +[3061.60 --> 3062.44] Athletes in Action +[3062.44 --> 3063.62] going to +[3063.62 --> 3065.96] Mauritius +[3065.96 --> 3067.48] and we pray, +[3067.70 --> 3068.04] Lord God, +[3068.10 --> 3068.72] that you would +[3068.72 --> 3070.26] be near to them +[3070.26 --> 3071.46] and bless them +[3071.46 --> 3072.60] in those efforts. +[3073.52 --> 3074.16] We think too +[3074.16 --> 3075.80] of Jody +[3075.80 --> 3076.38] and Uriel +[3076.38 --> 3077.22] and everyone +[3077.22 --> 3079.38] in Tijuana +[3079.38 --> 3080.48] and Rosarito +[3080.48 --> 3081.28] whom we know +[3081.28 --> 3081.90] and serve +[3081.90 --> 3082.84] and connect with +[3082.84 --> 3083.64] there. +[3084.20 --> 3085.42] We pray as well, +[3085.54 --> 3085.94] Lord God, +[3086.04 --> 3087.94] as Brandon +[3087.94 --> 3088.80] and Aaron, +[3089.02 --> 3089.56] Pastor Kevin +[3089.56 --> 3090.06] and myself +[3090.06 --> 3090.72] have a chance +[3090.72 --> 3091.38] in a little while +[3091.38 --> 3092.36] to head to Mexico +[3092.36 --> 3095.06] and to get engaged +[3095.06 --> 3095.96] in those connections +[3095.96 --> 3096.74] and connect with +[3096.74 --> 3097.14] the leaders +[3097.14 --> 3097.84] and the ministries +[3097.84 --> 3098.08] there, +[3098.18 --> 3099.16] that that relationship +[3099.16 --> 3100.86] would be bolstered +[3100.86 --> 3101.54] and we would +[3101.54 --> 3103.16] foster that +[3103.16 --> 3103.96] for the service +[3103.96 --> 3104.64] of your kingdom +[3104.64 --> 3106.12] and the proclaiming +[3106.12 --> 3106.74] of your gospel. +[3107.26 --> 3107.84] We thank you +[3107.84 --> 3109.38] for that unique privilege +[3109.38 --> 3111.36] as we serve you +[3111.36 --> 3112.12] in this way. +[3113.48 --> 3113.80] God, +[3113.92 --> 3114.98] we know and trust +[3114.98 --> 3115.70] that there are +[3115.70 --> 3116.42] many others +[3116.42 --> 3117.44] whom you are calling +[3117.44 --> 3118.88] to serve as missionaries +[3118.88 --> 3119.46] in the world +[3119.46 --> 3120.36] and so if they are +[3120.36 --> 3121.60] among us this morning, +[3121.70 --> 3122.86] may they hear that call +[3122.86 --> 3123.76] clearly +[3123.76 --> 3125.24] and may we, +[3125.44 --> 3126.26] as a church family, +[3126.42 --> 3127.30] surround them +[3127.30 --> 3128.60] in love +[3128.60 --> 3129.60] and support. +[3131.82 --> 3132.38] Finally, +[3132.62 --> 3132.90] Father, +[3133.04 --> 3134.36] we know that +[3134.36 --> 3136.96] there are +[3136.96 --> 3137.98] a number of us +[3137.98 --> 3139.16] this morning +[3139.16 --> 3142.24] who are not here +[3142.24 --> 3143.74] because of sickness, +[3144.02 --> 3144.58] because of +[3144.58 --> 3146.08] some sorts of illness +[3146.08 --> 3147.04] or treatments +[3147.04 --> 3148.94] or ongoing struggles, +[3149.04 --> 3149.72] whether it's flu +[3149.72 --> 3150.36] or COVID +[3150.36 --> 3151.76] or other health concerns. +[3152.18 --> 3152.66] We pray, +[3152.78 --> 3152.98] God, +[3153.04 --> 3154.66] just for a general healing +[3154.66 --> 3155.82] of all those +[3155.82 --> 3157.74] who need you now. +[3157.74 --> 3159.00] we pray for +[3159.00 --> 3161.00] the health +[3161.00 --> 3162.92] of our church family, +[3163.82 --> 3164.50] trusting that you +[3164.50 --> 3165.36] hear our prayer +[3165.36 --> 3166.36] and that you will act +[3166.36 --> 3167.56] according to your goodwill. +[3168.52 --> 3168.92] And God, +[3168.98 --> 3169.52] when it is +[3169.52 --> 3170.38] that your goodwill +[3170.38 --> 3171.26] does not match +[3171.26 --> 3172.10] our ideas +[3172.10 --> 3173.32] of what it should be, +[3173.62 --> 3175.22] we pray for humbled hearts +[3175.22 --> 3176.32] to trust +[3176.32 --> 3177.68] in you. +[3178.68 --> 3179.94] So we put our hope +[3179.94 --> 3180.82] in you. +[3181.32 --> 3183.24] We trust in your salvation +[3183.24 --> 3184.92] and we sing +[3184.92 --> 3185.68] your praises. +[3185.68 --> 3187.34] in Jesus Christ +[3187.34 --> 3187.96] we pray. +[3188.78 --> 3189.18] Amen. +[3189.18 --> 3201.56] We're going to +[3201.56 --> 3203.34] open together +[3203.34 --> 3204.50] and spend some time +[3204.50 --> 3207.08] in God's word. +[3207.24 --> 3207.94] We're going to read +[3207.94 --> 3208.60] this morning +[3208.60 --> 3210.32] from Psalm 13. +[3211.42 --> 3213.00] We are in our +[3213.00 --> 3216.34] series on the Psalms +[3216.34 --> 3217.04] called Faith +[3217.04 --> 3218.62] and All Our Feelings +[3218.62 --> 3219.72] and we're looking +[3219.72 --> 3220.34] at different +[3220.34 --> 3221.82] emotional experiences +[3221.82 --> 3222.72] and realities, +[3222.90 --> 3223.64] holding them up +[3223.64 --> 3225.12] to the word of God +[3225.12 --> 3225.88] and then asking +[3225.88 --> 3227.30] how we might be +[3227.30 --> 3228.32] encouraged +[3228.32 --> 3230.62] both to hold out +[3230.62 --> 3231.70] those emotions +[3231.70 --> 3232.94] to understand them +[3232.94 --> 3233.64] and then also +[3233.64 --> 3235.16] to be transformed +[3235.16 --> 3235.96] by the power +[3235.96 --> 3236.58] of the gospel +[3236.58 --> 3237.60] in that. +[3237.96 --> 3238.38] So we're going +[3238.38 --> 3239.32] to read Psalm 13. +[3239.46 --> 3239.92] We're going to read +[3239.92 --> 3240.72] the whole psalm +[3240.72 --> 3241.76] and then I'm going +[3241.76 --> 3242.46] to refer back +[3242.46 --> 3243.30] variously throughout. +[3243.44 --> 3244.28] So if you have a Bible +[3244.28 --> 3245.34] I encourage you +[3245.34 --> 3246.12] to have that +[3246.12 --> 3246.76] in front of you +[3246.76 --> 3247.44] as we go. +[3247.44 --> 3261.94] Psalm 13. +[3263.64 --> 3265.08] How long, Lord? +[3265.80 --> 3266.88] Will you forget me +[3266.88 --> 3267.20] forever? +[3268.14 --> 3269.08] How long +[3269.08 --> 3269.76] will you hide +[3269.76 --> 3270.40] your face +[3270.40 --> 3271.02] from me? +[3271.64 --> 3272.28] How long +[3272.28 --> 3273.04] must I wrestle +[3273.04 --> 3274.00] with my thoughts +[3274.00 --> 3275.32] and day after day +[3275.32 --> 3276.04] have sorrow +[3276.04 --> 3277.30] in my heart? +[3277.72 --> 3278.70] How long +[3278.70 --> 3279.72] will my enemy +[3279.72 --> 3281.82] triumph over me? +[3283.04 --> 3283.96] Look on me +[3283.96 --> 3284.88] and answer, +[3285.34 --> 3285.80] O God. +[3286.84 --> 3287.64] Give light +[3287.64 --> 3288.36] to my eyes +[3288.36 --> 3289.34] or I will sleep +[3289.34 --> 3290.50] in death. +[3291.10 --> 3291.80] And my enemy +[3291.80 --> 3292.26] will say, +[3292.40 --> 3293.78] I have overcome him +[3293.78 --> 3295.22] and my foes +[3295.22 --> 3296.18] will rejoice +[3296.18 --> 3297.10] when I fall. +[3298.68 --> 3299.88] But I trust +[3299.88 --> 3301.78] in your unfailing love. +[3301.78 --> 3303.52] my heart +[3303.52 --> 3304.18] rejoices +[3304.18 --> 3305.38] in your salvation. +[3306.74 --> 3307.88] I will sing +[3307.88 --> 3308.90] the Lord's praise +[3308.90 --> 3309.80] for he +[3309.80 --> 3310.88] has been good +[3310.88 --> 3311.42] to me. +[3312.30 --> 3313.10] This is the word +[3313.10 --> 3313.54] of the Lord. +[3313.54 --> 3322.02] This week, +[3322.20 --> 3322.44] I, +[3322.86 --> 3323.80] in preparation +[3323.80 --> 3324.44] for this, +[3324.72 --> 3325.92] read an essay +[3325.92 --> 3327.36] by Anna +[3327.36 --> 3328.06] Shane +[3328.06 --> 3329.02] Stardick. +[3331.02 --> 3332.04] Anna's essay +[3332.04 --> 3333.04] was called +[3333.04 --> 3334.46] If God +[3334.46 --> 3335.38] is alive, +[3336.18 --> 3336.76] I hate +[3336.76 --> 3337.08] him. +[3339.08 --> 3339.80] Now, +[3339.86 --> 3340.08] Anna +[3340.08 --> 3340.94] was diagnosed +[3340.94 --> 3342.40] with bipolar +[3342.40 --> 3343.22] one disorder +[3343.22 --> 3344.96] in her 20s. +[3346.30 --> 3347.30] And she writes, +[3348.26 --> 3350.12] I found myself +[3350.12 --> 3351.08] lying in a hospital +[3351.08 --> 3352.40] bed on suicide +[3352.40 --> 3352.94] watch. +[3353.58 --> 3354.40] There was no +[3354.40 --> 3355.58] meaning in my pain. +[3355.70 --> 3356.42] There couldn't be. +[3357.04 --> 3358.12] I couldn't pair it +[3358.12 --> 3358.68] with the Christian +[3358.68 --> 3359.48] answers anymore. +[3359.98 --> 3360.88] All I could think +[3360.88 --> 3361.88] was God is dead, +[3362.02 --> 3362.68] God is dead, +[3362.80 --> 3363.50] God is dead. +[3363.66 --> 3364.48] And what I meant +[3364.48 --> 3364.98] was, +[3365.62 --> 3366.64] if God is alive, +[3367.32 --> 3367.94] I hate him. +[3369.26 --> 3370.14] She goes on +[3370.14 --> 3370.50] to say, +[3371.26 --> 3372.02] I wallowed +[3372.02 --> 3372.64] in my +[3372.64 --> 3373.80] purposelessness, +[3374.32 --> 3374.96] comfortable +[3374.96 --> 3376.78] only in my +[3376.78 --> 3377.32] anger +[3377.32 --> 3378.76] at God. +[3381.18 --> 3381.52] Anna, +[3381.66 --> 3382.34] in that essay, +[3383.14 --> 3383.92] also writes +[3383.92 --> 3385.36] that the wrestling +[3385.36 --> 3386.42] I've done +[3386.42 --> 3387.36] isn't always +[3387.36 --> 3388.06] welcome +[3388.06 --> 3389.24] in Christian +[3389.24 --> 3390.24] circles. +[3391.50 --> 3392.02] Now, +[3392.06 --> 3392.44] I get +[3392.44 --> 3393.12] that that's +[3393.12 --> 3394.16] her perspective, +[3394.44 --> 3395.26] and it's probably +[3395.26 --> 3395.96] true that +[3395.96 --> 3396.96] had she talked +[3396.96 --> 3397.58] to a good +[3397.58 --> 3398.10] pastor +[3398.10 --> 3398.90] or a good +[3398.90 --> 3399.60] Christian friend, +[3399.60 --> 3400.06] she might +[3400.06 --> 3400.80] be surprised. +[3401.88 --> 3402.56] But I also +[3402.56 --> 3403.14] know that +[3403.14 --> 3403.66] when it comes +[3403.66 --> 3404.46] to our own +[3404.46 --> 3405.08] experience +[3405.08 --> 3406.18] of emotions, +[3406.70 --> 3407.70] our inner +[3407.70 --> 3408.36] perceptions +[3408.36 --> 3409.12] have the +[3409.12 --> 3409.64] tendency +[3409.64 --> 3410.94] to define +[3410.94 --> 3411.62] what's real. +[3412.74 --> 3412.86] Right? +[3412.96 --> 3413.54] So the point +[3413.54 --> 3414.16] being there +[3414.16 --> 3414.98] that she +[3414.98 --> 3416.04] experienced +[3416.04 --> 3416.86] her community +[3416.86 --> 3417.94] as unwelcoming +[3417.94 --> 3418.68] of the sorts +[3418.68 --> 3419.30] of wrestling +[3419.30 --> 3419.90] that she +[3419.90 --> 3420.88] needed to do, +[3421.16 --> 3421.62] and so that +[3421.62 --> 3422.64] means for her, +[3422.98 --> 3423.64] her community +[3423.64 --> 3425.16] was unwelcoming +[3425.16 --> 3425.86] of the sorts +[3425.86 --> 3426.38] of struggles +[3426.38 --> 3427.16] and questions +[3427.16 --> 3427.88] and cries +[3427.88 --> 3428.54] that she +[3428.54 --> 3428.84] had. +[3430.42 --> 3430.60] Now, +[3430.64 --> 3430.90] in this +[3430.90 --> 3431.30] series, +[3431.62 --> 3431.98] and we've +[3431.98 --> 3432.42] said this +[3432.42 --> 3433.06] so many +[3433.06 --> 3433.50] times, +[3433.60 --> 3433.92] but I say +[3433.92 --> 3434.22] it again +[3434.22 --> 3434.76] because it's +[3434.76 --> 3435.30] critical, +[3435.56 --> 3436.08] I hope +[3436.08 --> 3436.70] that's not +[3436.70 --> 3437.24] us. +[3438.24 --> 3438.76] And I hope +[3438.76 --> 3439.12] that's not +[3439.12 --> 3440.00] your experience +[3440.00 --> 3440.92] of this +[3440.92 --> 3441.72] church family. +[3441.84 --> 3441.94] Right? +[3441.96 --> 3442.36] I hope +[3442.36 --> 3442.64] that we +[3442.64 --> 3443.06] can keep +[3443.06 --> 3443.60] going +[3443.60 --> 3444.40] in our +[3444.40 --> 3444.92] ability +[3444.92 --> 3445.52] to be +[3445.52 --> 3446.08] a place +[3446.08 --> 3446.42] that is +[3446.42 --> 3446.74] safe +[3446.74 --> 3447.64] for vulnerable +[3447.64 --> 3448.14] people +[3448.14 --> 3448.54] and for +[3448.54 --> 3448.86] hurting +[3448.86 --> 3449.44] people +[3449.44 --> 3449.84] and for +[3449.84 --> 3450.30] questions +[3450.30 --> 3450.76] and for +[3450.76 --> 3451.10] doubt +[3451.10 --> 3451.74] and for +[3451.74 --> 3452.16] anger. +[3453.10 --> 3453.32] And that's +[3453.32 --> 3453.52] one of the +[3453.52 --> 3453.82] reasons why +[3453.82 --> 3454.14] I'm so +[3454.14 --> 3455.00] grateful for +[3455.00 --> 3455.58] the Women's +[3455.58 --> 3455.92] Fellowship +[3455.92 --> 3456.52] for organizing +[3456.52 --> 3458.14] this processing +[3458.14 --> 3459.12] grief event +[3459.12 --> 3459.98] because this +[3459.98 --> 3460.56] needs to be +[3460.56 --> 3461.04] the place +[3461.04 --> 3461.48] where we can +[3461.48 --> 3462.40] enter into +[3462.40 --> 3463.24] the pain +[3463.24 --> 3464.08] of others. +[3465.10 --> 3465.78] And as we +[3465.78 --> 3466.80] celebrate together, +[3466.94 --> 3467.42] as we share +[3467.42 --> 3467.82] joys, +[3467.92 --> 3468.36] as we share +[3468.36 --> 3468.82] encouragement, +[3468.94 --> 3469.34] as we share +[3469.34 --> 3469.62] hope, +[3469.88 --> 3470.68] I pray that we +[3470.68 --> 3471.40] can also +[3471.40 --> 3472.78] share pain +[3472.78 --> 3474.18] and heartache +[3474.18 --> 3475.12] and sorrow. +[3475.94 --> 3476.38] And that's +[3476.38 --> 3476.78] been my +[3476.78 --> 3477.68] experience of +[3477.68 --> 3478.30] you all +[3478.30 --> 3479.26] in my time +[3479.26 --> 3479.52] here. +[3479.62 --> 3480.04] I hope +[3480.04 --> 3481.32] that's yours +[3481.32 --> 3481.86] as well. +[3483.82 --> 3484.14] Now, +[3484.14 --> 3484.56] what I hope +[3484.56 --> 3484.84] that we +[3484.84 --> 3485.24] will see +[3485.24 --> 3485.94] today from +[3485.94 --> 3486.78] Psalm 13 +[3486.78 --> 3488.48] is that +[3488.48 --> 3490.02] being angry +[3490.02 --> 3490.98] at God +[3490.98 --> 3492.02] is still +[3492.02 --> 3492.76] an act +[3492.76 --> 3493.38] of faith. +[3494.90 --> 3495.68] But it's +[3495.68 --> 3496.40] important to +[3496.40 --> 3496.84] whom +[3496.84 --> 3498.80] and how +[3498.80 --> 3500.02] we express +[3500.02 --> 3500.56] that anger. +[3502.40 --> 3502.54] So, +[3502.60 --> 3503.30] Psalm 13 +[3503.30 --> 3504.14] teaches us +[3504.14 --> 3504.76] how to +[3504.76 --> 3505.74] express our +[3505.74 --> 3506.22] anger, +[3506.38 --> 3507.36] even anger +[3507.36 --> 3508.74] towards God, +[3508.86 --> 3509.66] and it teaches +[3509.66 --> 3510.46] us what to do +[3510.46 --> 3510.82] with those +[3510.82 --> 3511.24] feelings. +[3512.66 --> 3512.80] Now, +[3512.86 --> 3513.32] notice, +[3513.32 --> 3513.90] if you have +[3513.90 --> 3514.26] that in +[3514.26 --> 3514.58] front of +[3514.58 --> 3514.80] you, +[3515.14 --> 3516.58] the four-fold +[3516.58 --> 3517.16] repetition +[3517.16 --> 3517.94] of the +[3517.94 --> 3518.44] question, +[3518.84 --> 3519.48] how long, +[3519.54 --> 3519.88] in the +[3519.88 --> 3520.86] first two +[3520.86 --> 3521.18] verses. +[3522.34 --> 3522.98] Actually, +[3523.24 --> 3524.06] this is the +[3524.06 --> 3525.60] longest string +[3525.60 --> 3526.50] of consecutive +[3526.50 --> 3527.48] questions of +[3527.48 --> 3528.60] God in the +[3528.60 --> 3528.94] Psalter. +[3530.22 --> 3530.44] So, +[3530.50 --> 3530.98] it's a short +[3530.98 --> 3531.48] psalm, +[3531.68 --> 3532.02] yes, +[3532.80 --> 3533.26] but there's +[3533.26 --> 3534.30] a ton of +[3534.30 --> 3535.44] emotion packed +[3535.44 --> 3535.92] into these +[3535.92 --> 3536.52] short verses. +[3537.52 --> 3538.44] How long +[3538.44 --> 3538.80] will you +[3538.80 --> 3539.44] forget me? +[3540.20 --> 3541.18] How long +[3541.18 --> 3541.80] will you hide +[3541.80 --> 3542.30] your face +[3542.30 --> 3542.84] from me? +[3542.98 --> 3543.76] How long +[3543.76 --> 3544.22] must I +[3544.22 --> 3545.16] wrestle with +[3545.16 --> 3545.74] these thoughts? +[3546.00 --> 3546.76] How long +[3546.76 --> 3547.24] will my +[3547.24 --> 3547.72] enemy +[3547.72 --> 3548.52] triumph +[3548.52 --> 3549.66] over me? +[3552.06 --> 3552.58] Now, +[3552.60 --> 3553.02] there's something +[3553.02 --> 3555.00] really neat +[3555.00 --> 3556.28] that's happening +[3556.28 --> 3557.92] in this text +[3557.92 --> 3558.74] that you can't +[3558.74 --> 3559.64] fully understand +[3559.64 --> 3560.22] or grasp +[3560.22 --> 3560.94] unless you +[3560.94 --> 3561.88] know Hebrew. +[3562.96 --> 3563.28] And so, +[3563.42 --> 3564.04] for just a few +[3564.04 --> 3564.40] seconds, +[3564.52 --> 3564.76] I'm going to +[3564.76 --> 3565.36] teach you a +[3565.36 --> 3565.86] little bit of +[3565.86 --> 3567.00] Hebrew so that +[3567.00 --> 3567.64] you can see it. +[3567.64 --> 3569.36] the question, +[3569.60 --> 3570.42] how long, +[3570.62 --> 3571.40] in Hebrew, +[3571.68 --> 3572.58] is Adana. +[3573.50 --> 3574.38] Adana. +[3574.72 --> 3574.96] So, +[3575.04 --> 3575.84] David cries +[3575.84 --> 3576.48] four times, +[3576.62 --> 3577.24] Adana, +[3577.50 --> 3578.30] Adana, +[3578.54 --> 3579.30] Adana, +[3579.56 --> 3580.34] Adana. +[3581.94 --> 3582.42] Now, +[3582.62 --> 3583.06] if you have +[3583.06 --> 3583.74] ears to hear, +[3583.98 --> 3584.44] that might +[3584.44 --> 3585.30] sound familiar +[3585.30 --> 3585.84] to you. +[3586.32 --> 3587.12] Because one +[3587.12 --> 3587.74] of the Hebrew +[3587.74 --> 3588.80] names for God +[3588.80 --> 3589.40] that you might +[3589.40 --> 3590.24] know is +[3590.24 --> 3591.74] Adana. +[3593.38 --> 3593.66] Adana. +[3593.66 --> 3594.60] And so, +[3594.72 --> 3595.08] there's this +[3595.08 --> 3595.90] beautiful, +[3596.38 --> 3597.80] poetic crying +[3597.80 --> 3598.48] out that +[3598.48 --> 3599.74] David is doing +[3599.74 --> 3600.46] here that's +[3600.46 --> 3601.34] a crying out, +[3601.46 --> 3601.98] Adana, +[3602.34 --> 3604.32] to almost +[3604.32 --> 3604.76] God. +[3605.96 --> 3606.46] Right? +[3606.52 --> 3606.78] Or to +[3606.78 --> 3607.92] distant God. +[3608.08 --> 3608.82] Not quite +[3608.82 --> 3609.52] there. +[3610.94 --> 3611.74] And these +[3611.74 --> 3612.20] words, +[3612.32 --> 3612.92] Adana, +[3613.24 --> 3613.88] Adana, +[3614.04 --> 3614.52] over and +[3614.52 --> 3615.24] over is a +[3615.24 --> 3616.30] plaintive +[3616.30 --> 3617.42] crying out. +[3617.52 --> 3617.84] It's a sort +[3617.84 --> 3619.60] of onomatopoetic +[3619.60 --> 3620.86] mourning over +[3620.86 --> 3621.82] God's absence +[3621.82 --> 3622.84] and death. +[3622.84 --> 3624.16] absence +[3624.16 --> 3625.54] and distance. +[3627.66 --> 3628.86] And in +[3628.86 --> 3629.76] this repetition +[3629.76 --> 3631.08] four times +[3631.08 --> 3631.58] over and +[3631.58 --> 3631.90] over, +[3632.20 --> 3632.76] we see that +[3632.76 --> 3633.48] this isn't +[3633.48 --> 3634.06] just a +[3634.06 --> 3635.18] passing thought. +[3635.86 --> 3635.92] Right? +[3635.94 --> 3636.26] This isn't +[3636.26 --> 3636.78] just one +[3636.78 --> 3637.32] or two +[3637.32 --> 3638.90] hard experiences +[3638.90 --> 3640.12] for David. +[3641.18 --> 3641.66] And yes, +[3641.80 --> 3642.46] of course, +[3642.56 --> 3642.92] it's true, +[3643.02 --> 3643.18] right? +[3643.24 --> 3643.86] That our +[3643.86 --> 3644.56] own hearts, +[3644.64 --> 3645.14] and mine +[3645.14 --> 3646.02] is just +[3646.02 --> 3646.58] as guilty +[3646.58 --> 3647.06] as this +[3647.06 --> 3647.36] is the +[3647.36 --> 3647.92] next person, +[3648.18 --> 3648.74] our own +[3648.74 --> 3649.04] hearts +[3649.04 --> 3650.00] exaggerate +[3650.00 --> 3651.20] our plights. +[3651.86 --> 3651.98] Right? +[3651.98 --> 3652.96] We exaggerate +[3652.96 --> 3653.46] our own +[3653.46 --> 3654.20] victimhood. +[3655.40 --> 3655.76] But what +[3655.76 --> 3656.36] is being +[3656.36 --> 3656.90] talked about +[3656.90 --> 3657.44] here is +[3657.44 --> 3658.22] this season +[3658.22 --> 3658.94] of life +[3658.94 --> 3660.08] and experience +[3660.08 --> 3660.58] of life +[3660.58 --> 3660.90] that has +[3660.90 --> 3661.40] been going +[3661.40 --> 3662.34] on for +[3662.34 --> 3662.92] a long +[3662.92 --> 3663.78] time. +[3664.74 --> 3665.50] But even +[3665.50 --> 3665.94] more than +[3665.94 --> 3666.42] going on +[3666.42 --> 3666.88] for a long +[3666.88 --> 3667.28] time, +[3667.36 --> 3667.92] more importantly, +[3668.20 --> 3669.00] it seems +[3669.00 --> 3669.66] like there's +[3669.66 --> 3670.06] going to be +[3670.06 --> 3670.82] no end +[3670.82 --> 3671.70] to it. +[3673.50 --> 3674.12] And when +[3674.12 --> 3674.66] there's no +[3674.66 --> 3675.62] end to +[3675.62 --> 3676.78] our struggle, +[3677.54 --> 3677.68] right, +[3677.72 --> 3678.00] when there's +[3678.00 --> 3678.60] no end +[3678.60 --> 3679.22] in sight +[3679.22 --> 3679.58] to the +[3679.58 --> 3680.14] pain and +[3680.14 --> 3680.52] the hurt +[3680.52 --> 3680.82] and the +[3680.82 --> 3681.30] hardship, +[3681.68 --> 3683.00] that's when +[3683.00 --> 3683.38] we get +[3683.38 --> 3683.80] angry. +[3685.08 --> 3685.70] That's when +[3685.70 --> 3686.32] frustration +[3686.32 --> 3686.96] starts to +[3686.96 --> 3687.60] boil over. +[3688.04 --> 3688.46] That's when +[3688.46 --> 3689.08] we start to +[3689.08 --> 3689.66] say things +[3689.66 --> 3690.02] like, +[3690.42 --> 3690.74] if God +[3690.74 --> 3691.42] is alive, +[3692.04 --> 3692.46] I hate +[3692.46 --> 3692.70] him. +[3695.26 --> 3695.74] Now, +[3695.78 --> 3696.14] I also +[3696.14 --> 3697.68] know that +[3697.68 --> 3698.12] this kind +[3698.12 --> 3698.64] of talk +[3698.64 --> 3699.12] makes some +[3699.12 --> 3699.38] of us +[3699.38 --> 3699.94] uncomfortable. +[3701.32 --> 3702.04] And entering +[3702.04 --> 3702.54] into these +[3702.54 --> 3702.88] kind of +[3702.88 --> 3703.32] moments +[3703.32 --> 3704.10] makes some +[3704.10 --> 3704.36] of us +[3704.36 --> 3704.48] go, +[3704.60 --> 3704.78] nope, +[3704.96 --> 3705.16] nope, +[3705.54 --> 3705.96] not doing +[3705.96 --> 3706.16] it. +[3707.08 --> 3707.54] And there's +[3707.54 --> 3708.28] a temptation +[3708.28 --> 3709.24] when you +[3709.24 --> 3709.80] feel this +[3709.80 --> 3710.22] way or +[3710.22 --> 3710.66] when people +[3710.66 --> 3711.00] in your +[3711.00 --> 3711.56] life feel +[3711.56 --> 3712.14] this way +[3712.14 --> 3713.10] to rush +[3713.10 --> 3713.80] through, +[3713.96 --> 3714.38] right, +[3714.48 --> 3714.80] to verse +[3714.80 --> 3715.24] five and +[3715.24 --> 3715.64] six of +[3715.64 --> 3716.04] the psalm. +[3717.52 --> 3718.14] And so +[3718.14 --> 3718.58] we say +[3718.58 --> 3719.34] things like, +[3719.80 --> 3720.42] don't worry, +[3720.56 --> 3720.86] it's going +[3720.86 --> 3721.48] to be okay, +[3721.64 --> 3722.16] God has a +[3722.16 --> 3722.62] plan for +[3722.62 --> 3722.86] you. +[3724.06 --> 3724.44] Sometimes +[3724.44 --> 3725.16] we hear +[3725.16 --> 3725.80] things like, +[3726.20 --> 3726.88] God will +[3726.88 --> 3727.36] use this +[3727.36 --> 3727.90] for good. +[3727.90 --> 3729.70] And this +[3729.70 --> 3730.04] is the +[3730.04 --> 3730.38] sort of +[3730.38 --> 3731.10] parroting +[3731.10 --> 3731.96] of easy +[3731.96 --> 3732.42] Christian +[3732.42 --> 3733.10] answers that +[3733.10 --> 3733.98] really frustrated +[3733.98 --> 3734.62] Anna, +[3734.74 --> 3735.04] that made +[3735.04 --> 3735.44] her so +[3735.44 --> 3735.96] angry in +[3735.96 --> 3736.50] her story. +[3737.40 --> 3738.32] And we +[3738.32 --> 3738.74] can relate +[3738.74 --> 3739.16] to that, +[3739.22 --> 3739.42] right? +[3739.50 --> 3739.94] In your +[3739.94 --> 3740.36] anger, +[3740.54 --> 3740.92] in your +[3740.92 --> 3741.42] heart, +[3741.54 --> 3742.14] you know +[3742.14 --> 3742.64] that those +[3742.64 --> 3743.14] kind of +[3743.14 --> 3743.82] platitudes +[3743.82 --> 3744.56] don't make +[3744.56 --> 3745.02] you feel +[3745.02 --> 3745.36] better. +[3745.70 --> 3746.22] In fact, +[3746.30 --> 3746.70] in my +[3746.70 --> 3747.28] experience +[3747.28 --> 3747.66] anyway, +[3747.92 --> 3748.26] they just +[3748.26 --> 3748.68] make us +[3748.68 --> 3749.36] feel worse. +[3750.38 --> 3750.66] And then +[3750.66 --> 3751.14] we feel +[3751.14 --> 3751.80] guilt and +[3751.80 --> 3752.50] shame, +[3752.78 --> 3753.30] that we +[3753.30 --> 3754.04] feel worse. +[3755.18 --> 3755.56] And then +[3755.56 --> 3756.02] because we +[3756.02 --> 3756.30] have this +[3756.30 --> 3756.84] guilt and shame +[3756.84 --> 3757.14] in us, +[3757.16 --> 3757.40] we just +[3757.40 --> 3757.78] get more +[3757.78 --> 3758.22] angry, +[3758.88 --> 3759.28] either at +[3759.28 --> 3760.16] God or +[3760.16 --> 3760.84] at ourselves, +[3761.06 --> 3761.60] or at the +[3761.60 --> 3762.16] people around +[3762.16 --> 3762.48] us, +[3762.60 --> 3763.28] or nebulously +[3763.28 --> 3763.54] at the +[3763.54 --> 3764.06] situation +[3764.06 --> 3764.68] that's out +[3764.68 --> 3764.90] of our +[3764.90 --> 3765.28] control. +[3767.98 --> 3768.50] Reality +[3768.50 --> 3768.96] is, +[3769.22 --> 3770.38] we can't +[3770.38 --> 3770.88] rush to +[3770.88 --> 3771.40] verse 5 +[3771.40 --> 3771.96] and 6. +[3773.84 --> 3774.66] Because here's +[3774.66 --> 3775.06] the thing +[3775.06 --> 3776.24] about these +[3776.24 --> 3776.82] platitudes. +[3779.12 --> 3779.80] They're not +[3779.80 --> 3780.66] actually wrong. +[3782.40 --> 3782.54] Right? +[3782.64 --> 3782.80] Like, +[3782.80 --> 3783.48] it is true +[3783.48 --> 3783.90] that God +[3783.90 --> 3784.44] does have +[3784.44 --> 3784.82] a plan +[3784.82 --> 3785.36] for you. +[3786.18 --> 3786.46] For I +[3786.46 --> 3786.92] know the +[3786.92 --> 3787.44] plans I +[3787.44 --> 3787.90] have for +[3787.90 --> 3788.06] you, +[3788.18 --> 3788.46] declares +[3788.46 --> 3788.92] the Lord. +[3789.22 --> 3789.50] Jeremiah +[3789.50 --> 3789.96] 29, +[3790.06 --> 3790.32] 11. +[3791.12 --> 3791.24] Right? +[3791.32 --> 3791.54] Many +[3791.54 --> 3793.02] are the +[3793.02 --> 3793.46] things you +[3793.46 --> 3793.98] have planned +[3793.98 --> 3794.42] for us. +[3794.48 --> 3795.12] Psalm 40, +[3795.60 --> 3796.22] verse 5. +[3797.06 --> 3797.74] The plans +[3797.74 --> 3798.04] of the +[3798.04 --> 3798.82] Lord stand +[3798.82 --> 3799.38] forever. +[3799.86 --> 3800.52] Psalm 33, +[3800.74 --> 3801.04] 11. +[3801.88 --> 3802.02] Right? +[3802.04 --> 3802.28] And it +[3802.28 --> 3802.76] is true +[3802.76 --> 3803.22] that God +[3803.22 --> 3804.22] does and +[3804.22 --> 3805.00] will turn +[3805.00 --> 3805.82] all things +[3805.82 --> 3806.38] for the +[3806.38 --> 3806.84] good of +[3806.84 --> 3807.42] those who +[3807.42 --> 3807.78] love him +[3807.78 --> 3809.48] and for +[3809.48 --> 3810.08] his glory. +[3810.68 --> 3810.80] Right? +[3810.86 --> 3811.40] Romans 8, +[3811.40 --> 3811.76] 28. +[3811.90 --> 3812.24] We know +[3812.24 --> 3812.60] that in +[3812.60 --> 3813.06] all things +[3813.06 --> 3813.62] God works +[3813.62 --> 3813.90] for the +[3813.90 --> 3814.22] good of +[3814.22 --> 3814.56] those who +[3814.56 --> 3815.02] love him, +[3815.08 --> 3815.34] who have +[3815.34 --> 3816.08] been called +[3816.08 --> 3816.64] according to +[3816.64 --> 3817.26] his purpose. +[3818.02 --> 3818.82] Or Isaiah +[3818.82 --> 3819.32] 48, +[3819.52 --> 3819.84] 11. +[3820.18 --> 3820.48] For my +[3820.48 --> 3821.12] own sake, +[3821.20 --> 3821.58] for my +[3821.58 --> 3822.20] own sake, +[3822.26 --> 3822.62] I do +[3822.62 --> 3822.88] this. +[3822.96 --> 3823.36] I will +[3823.36 --> 3824.04] not yield +[3824.04 --> 3824.86] my glory +[3824.86 --> 3825.82] to another. +[3827.30 --> 3827.52] Right? +[3827.54 --> 3827.88] That's all +[3827.88 --> 3828.20] true. +[3828.42 --> 3828.88] That's all +[3828.88 --> 3829.26] in the +[3829.26 --> 3829.54] Bible. +[3829.70 --> 3829.92] And so, +[3830.02 --> 3830.30] of course, +[3830.36 --> 3830.94] I believe +[3830.94 --> 3831.28] it and +[3831.28 --> 3831.64] know it +[3831.64 --> 3831.96] to be +[3831.96 --> 3832.28] true. +[3832.86 --> 3833.64] But those +[3833.64 --> 3834.32] truths +[3834.32 --> 3835.44] become +[3835.44 --> 3836.24] platitudes +[3836.24 --> 3837.70] when the +[3837.70 --> 3838.40] person you +[3838.40 --> 3839.08] say them +[3839.08 --> 3840.22] to doesn't +[3840.22 --> 3841.22] feel heard +[3841.22 --> 3842.38] or understood +[3842.38 --> 3843.34] in the +[3843.34 --> 3844.08] context of +[3844.08 --> 3844.46] their own +[3844.46 --> 3844.76] pain. +[3847.12 --> 3847.70] Do I +[3847.70 --> 3847.90] need to +[3847.90 --> 3848.14] say that +[3848.14 --> 3848.36] again? +[3848.42 --> 3848.88] Because that's +[3848.88 --> 3849.26] profound. +[3850.76 --> 3851.28] Those +[3851.28 --> 3851.94] truths of +[3851.94 --> 3852.30] Scripture +[3852.30 --> 3853.00] become +[3853.00 --> 3853.72] platitudes +[3853.72 --> 3854.98] when the +[3854.98 --> 3855.52] person you +[3855.52 --> 3855.90] say them +[3855.90 --> 3856.48] to doesn't +[3856.48 --> 3857.24] feel heard +[3857.24 --> 3858.00] or understood +[3858.00 --> 3859.02] in their +[3859.02 --> 3859.64] own pain. +[3860.64 --> 3861.34] I used to +[3861.34 --> 3861.54] have a +[3861.54 --> 3862.16] professor in +[3862.16 --> 3862.80] seminary who +[3862.80 --> 3863.06] said, +[3863.48 --> 3863.78] the right +[3863.78 --> 3864.26] answer at +[3864.26 --> 3864.60] the wrong +[3864.60 --> 3866.06] time is +[3866.06 --> 3866.38] the wrong +[3866.38 --> 3866.72] answer. +[3866.72 --> 3869.30] right? +[3869.34 --> 3869.60] When you +[3869.60 --> 3870.40] rush a +[3870.40 --> 3870.78] grieving +[3870.78 --> 3871.96] person to +[3871.96 --> 3872.42] the right +[3872.42 --> 3872.94] answer, +[3873.94 --> 3874.58] they become +[3874.58 --> 3874.80] bitter. +[3876.12 --> 3876.78] When you +[3876.78 --> 3877.14] push a +[3877.14 --> 3877.66] truth on +[3877.66 --> 3878.32] someone who +[3878.32 --> 3878.96] is staring +[3878.96 --> 3879.64] into the +[3879.64 --> 3880.14] abyss, +[3881.26 --> 3881.94] the abyss +[3881.94 --> 3882.58] grows, +[3883.12 --> 3883.46] not the +[3883.46 --> 3883.72] truth. +[3885.10 --> 3885.76] When you +[3885.76 --> 3886.20] tell a +[3886.20 --> 3886.58] person who +[3886.58 --> 3887.16] is raging +[3887.16 --> 3887.56] at the +[3887.56 --> 3887.90] apparent +[3887.90 --> 3888.52] absence of +[3888.52 --> 3889.10] God to +[3889.10 --> 3889.48] just get +[3889.48 --> 3890.10] over it, +[3890.84 --> 3891.38] they get +[3891.38 --> 3892.06] more upset +[3892.06 --> 3894.90] or they +[3894.90 --> 3895.42] walk away. +[3895.42 --> 3897.10] either from +[3897.10 --> 3898.46] you or +[3898.46 --> 3898.88] from God. +[3900.98 --> 3901.46] Instead, +[3902.06 --> 3903.10] we can't +[3903.10 --> 3903.66] rush to +[3903.66 --> 3904.30] verse 5 and +[3904.30 --> 3904.62] 6. +[3905.04 --> 3905.20] Now, +[3905.92 --> 3906.24] don't hear +[3906.24 --> 3906.44] what I'm +[3906.44 --> 3906.76] not saying +[3906.76 --> 3907.22] because we +[3907.22 --> 3907.62] will get +[3907.62 --> 3907.92] there. +[3909.28 --> 3910.30] But only +[3910.30 --> 3911.38] after living +[3911.38 --> 3912.02] in the +[3912.02 --> 3912.54] first four +[3912.54 --> 3912.86] verses +[3912.86 --> 3913.38] together. +[3914.52 --> 3915.02] Right? +[3915.08 --> 3915.26] And so +[3915.26 --> 3915.74] hear that +[3915.74 --> 3916.10] as a +[3916.10 --> 3916.38] metaphor. +[3916.78 --> 3917.46] Only after +[3917.46 --> 3918.52] living into +[3918.52 --> 3919.28] the pain +[3919.28 --> 3919.82] and the +[3919.82 --> 3920.22] hardship +[3920.22 --> 3920.92] and the +[3920.92 --> 3921.46] struggle +[3921.46 --> 3922.18] together +[3922.18 --> 3923.36] can we +[3923.36 --> 3923.58] get to +[3923.58 --> 3923.92] the hope. +[3924.62 --> 3925.00] Let's +[3925.00 --> 3925.90] understand +[3925.90 --> 3926.54] the anger +[3926.54 --> 3926.94] and the +[3926.94 --> 3927.62] crying out +[3927.62 --> 3928.28] and only +[3928.28 --> 3929.24] then will +[3929.24 --> 3929.70] we have +[3929.70 --> 3930.16] the right +[3930.16 --> 3930.70] words to +[3930.70 --> 3931.76] speak into +[3931.76 --> 3932.18] someone's +[3932.18 --> 3932.46] heart. +[3933.82 --> 3934.66] How long? +[3935.32 --> 3935.80] Ad +[3935.80 --> 3936.38] anah. +[3936.90 --> 3938.02] How long +[3938.02 --> 3938.56] will you +[3938.56 --> 3939.28] hide your +[3939.28 --> 3940.44] face from +[3940.44 --> 3940.68] me? +[3942.80 --> 3943.68] So there's +[3943.68 --> 3944.22] layers of +[3944.22 --> 3945.32] meaning to +[3945.32 --> 3946.02] that phrase. +[3947.02 --> 3947.90] Hide your +[3947.90 --> 3948.82] face from +[3948.82 --> 3950.26] me is more +[3950.26 --> 3950.86] than just an +[3950.86 --> 3952.18] experience of +[3952.18 --> 3953.18] God not +[3953.18 --> 3953.84] helping when +[3953.84 --> 3954.24] we want +[3954.24 --> 3954.26] we want +[3954.26 --> 3954.66] him to. +[3955.40 --> 3956.06] Hide your +[3956.06 --> 3956.98] face from +[3956.98 --> 3958.10] me recalls +[3958.10 --> 3958.54] God's +[3958.54 --> 3959.74] blessing to +[3959.74 --> 3960.38] the people +[3960.38 --> 3961.12] in number +[3961.12 --> 3961.62] six. +[3961.98 --> 3962.36] Maybe you +[3962.36 --> 3962.94] remember that. +[3963.04 --> 3963.60] It's called +[3963.60 --> 3964.14] the priestly +[3964.14 --> 3964.70] blessing. +[3964.88 --> 3965.56] God says to +[3965.56 --> 3966.18] Moses and +[3966.18 --> 3966.44] Aaron, +[3967.02 --> 3967.70] this is how +[3967.70 --> 3968.08] you will +[3968.08 --> 3968.52] bless the +[3968.52 --> 3968.76] people. +[3968.86 --> 3969.44] This is how +[3969.44 --> 3970.10] they will +[3970.10 --> 3970.64] know that +[3970.64 --> 3970.94] they are +[3970.94 --> 3971.26] mine. +[3971.36 --> 3971.78] This is how +[3971.78 --> 3972.16] I will +[3972.16 --> 3972.72] write my +[3972.72 --> 3973.32] name on +[3973.32 --> 3973.52] them. +[3973.54 --> 3973.72] And he +[3973.72 --> 3974.14] says the +[3974.14 --> 3974.76] Lord bless +[3974.76 --> 3975.74] you and +[3975.74 --> 3976.44] keep you. +[3976.78 --> 3977.02] The Lord +[3977.02 --> 3977.56] make his +[3977.56 --> 3978.52] face shine +[3978.52 --> 3979.68] upon you and +[3979.68 --> 3980.26] be gracious +[3980.26 --> 3980.74] to you. +[3980.82 --> 3981.22] The Lord +[3981.22 --> 3982.00] turn his +[3982.00 --> 3982.90] face toward +[3982.90 --> 3983.80] you and +[3983.80 --> 3984.42] give you +[3984.42 --> 3986.16] his peace. +[3987.90 --> 3988.68] The Lord +[3988.68 --> 3989.10] make his +[3989.10 --> 3989.76] face shine +[3989.76 --> 3990.50] upon you and +[3990.50 --> 3990.76] the Lord +[3990.76 --> 3991.42] turn his +[3991.42 --> 3992.04] face toward +[3992.04 --> 3992.42] you. +[3992.76 --> 3993.64] The psalmist +[3993.64 --> 3994.48] no longer +[3994.48 --> 3996.00] understands and +[3996.00 --> 3996.92] sees God's +[3996.92 --> 3997.56] face as +[3997.56 --> 3998.72] turned towards +[3998.72 --> 3998.98] him. +[3999.22 --> 3999.94] He no longer +[3999.94 --> 4001.00] feels God's +[4001.00 --> 4002.16] face shining +[4002.16 --> 4002.90] upon him and +[4002.90 --> 4003.58] so he doesn't +[4003.58 --> 4004.08] have any +[4004.08 --> 4005.16] grace and +[4005.16 --> 4005.66] he has no +[4005.66 --> 4006.54] experience of +[4006.54 --> 4007.10] peace. +[4009.26 --> 4010.08] The turning +[4010.08 --> 4010.88] of God's +[4010.88 --> 4011.74] face is his +[4011.74 --> 4013.46] presence and +[4013.46 --> 4014.24] his presence +[4014.24 --> 4014.94] is supposed +[4014.94 --> 4015.70] to bring +[4015.70 --> 4016.68] grace and +[4016.68 --> 4017.24] peace and +[4017.24 --> 4018.04] right now +[4018.04 --> 4019.52] David knows +[4019.52 --> 4020.34] neither. +[4021.90 --> 4022.70] God promised +[4022.70 --> 4024.80] presence and +[4024.80 --> 4025.70] it feels like +[4025.70 --> 4026.16] God has +[4026.16 --> 4026.98] failed that +[4026.98 --> 4027.54] promise. +[4029.84 --> 4030.38] And out of +[4030.38 --> 4031.14] that failed +[4031.14 --> 4032.44] experience of +[4032.44 --> 4033.20] God's promise +[4033.20 --> 4034.22] David literally +[4034.22 --> 4034.92] cries out +[4034.92 --> 4036.22] how long +[4036.22 --> 4036.92] must I +[4036.92 --> 4038.12] wrestle with +[4038.12 --> 4038.80] my thoughts? +[4040.18 --> 4040.64] Now literally +[4040.64 --> 4041.32] it says there +[4041.32 --> 4042.34] how long +[4042.34 --> 4042.68] must I +[4042.68 --> 4044.16] counsel with +[4044.16 --> 4045.04] my soul? +[4045.90 --> 4046.52] Counsel with +[4046.52 --> 4047.02] my inner +[4047.02 --> 4047.52] being? +[4048.58 --> 4049.10] Do you know +[4049.10 --> 4049.74] what that is +[4049.74 --> 4049.98] like? +[4050.04 --> 4050.26] Do you ever +[4050.26 --> 4050.74] have that? +[4050.86 --> 4051.74] Where you're +[4051.74 --> 4052.80] stuck kind of +[4052.80 --> 4053.46] in your mind +[4053.46 --> 4054.08] space just +[4054.08 --> 4054.84] going back and +[4054.84 --> 4055.28] forth and +[4055.28 --> 4055.80] back and +[4055.80 --> 4056.42] forth and +[4056.42 --> 4057.28] this idea is +[4057.28 --> 4058.06] bouncing around +[4058.06 --> 4058.64] all over the +[4058.64 --> 4059.06] place and you +[4059.06 --> 4059.58] can't get a +[4059.58 --> 4060.14] handle on it and +[4060.14 --> 4060.58] when you think +[4060.58 --> 4061.18] you've grasped +[4061.18 --> 4062.02] it you look at +[4062.02 --> 4062.34] it and there's +[4062.34 --> 4062.94] nothing there and +[4062.94 --> 4064.00] it pops up over +[4064.00 --> 4065.02] here and there's +[4065.02 --> 4065.66] just this +[4065.66 --> 4069.40] angst or +[4069.40 --> 4070.20] anxiety +[4070.20 --> 4072.42] this hurt +[4072.42 --> 4074.60] and brokenness +[4074.60 --> 4076.40] and then +[4076.40 --> 4078.12] that begins to +[4078.12 --> 4079.12] show itself +[4079.12 --> 4080.68] in you +[4080.68 --> 4080.94] right? +[4080.98 --> 4081.46] Whenever we have +[4081.46 --> 4082.14] these internal +[4082.14 --> 4082.98] emotions they +[4082.98 --> 4083.78] have a tendency +[4083.78 --> 4084.50] to manifest +[4084.50 --> 4085.18] themselves +[4085.18 --> 4086.12] physiologically +[4086.12 --> 4086.66] and I'm not +[4086.66 --> 4087.06] just talking +[4087.06 --> 4087.74] about crying +[4087.74 --> 4089.10] right? +[4089.20 --> 4089.98] So for me +[4089.98 --> 4091.14] when I get +[4091.14 --> 4092.76] anxious I +[4092.76 --> 4093.32] start to feel +[4093.32 --> 4093.72] that in my +[4093.72 --> 4095.18] hands like +[4095.18 --> 4095.76] my hands +[4095.76 --> 4097.04] feel cold +[4097.04 --> 4097.78] and tingly +[4097.78 --> 4098.62] and that's +[4098.62 --> 4099.20] a cue for +[4099.20 --> 4099.52] me that +[4099.52 --> 4100.14] there's some +[4100.14 --> 4100.80] anxiety going +[4100.80 --> 4101.20] on here +[4101.20 --> 4102.40] and I have +[4102.40 --> 4102.80] to learn how +[4102.80 --> 4103.60] to get aware +[4103.60 --> 4104.06] of that +[4104.06 --> 4104.34] right? +[4104.46 --> 4105.06] And how to +[4105.06 --> 4105.84] take that +[4105.84 --> 4106.52] and to use +[4106.52 --> 4106.96] that but then +[4106.96 --> 4107.46] when that +[4107.46 --> 4108.42] anxiety grows +[4108.42 --> 4109.44] and turns +[4109.44 --> 4110.28] into anger +[4110.28 --> 4111.06] and I start +[4111.06 --> 4111.62] to feel that +[4111.62 --> 4112.40] in my chest +[4112.40 --> 4114.08] right? +[4114.16 --> 4114.38] And then when +[4114.38 --> 4115.04] I get really +[4115.04 --> 4115.76] angry it comes +[4115.76 --> 4116.20] up to my +[4116.20 --> 4117.32] neck and it +[4117.32 --> 4118.66] sits here in +[4118.66 --> 4119.40] my neck and +[4119.40 --> 4120.32] it's tight and +[4120.32 --> 4120.86] there's nothing +[4120.86 --> 4121.58] I can do about +[4121.58 --> 4122.20] it and that's +[4122.20 --> 4122.78] just the way it +[4122.78 --> 4123.28] is and +[4123.28 --> 4124.00] here I am +[4124.00 --> 4126.04] and that's +[4126.04 --> 4126.58] what's happening +[4126.58 --> 4128.36] in Psalm 13. +[4129.72 --> 4130.50] He's holding +[4130.50 --> 4131.00] his anger +[4131.00 --> 4131.60] tight +[4131.60 --> 4134.62] and again +[4134.62 --> 4136.78] not just +[4136.78 --> 4137.44] for a short +[4137.44 --> 4138.44] passing +[4138.44 --> 4139.60] moment +[4139.60 --> 4140.60] right? +[4140.74 --> 4141.16] Day +[4141.16 --> 4142.66] after day +[4142.66 --> 4144.10] I have sorrow +[4144.10 --> 4145.44] in my heart +[4145.44 --> 4146.94] and this is +[4146.94 --> 4147.48] long +[4147.48 --> 4148.84] and ongoing +[4148.84 --> 4150.52] and then +[4150.52 --> 4150.90] building +[4150.90 --> 4151.60] through the +[4151.60 --> 4151.98] Psalm +[4151.98 --> 4152.50] right? +[4152.50 --> 4152.84] in these +[4152.84 --> 4153.78] short verses +[4153.78 --> 4154.74] by verse +[4154.74 --> 4155.12] 3 +[4155.12 --> 4155.96] either +[4155.96 --> 4157.62] he's shouting +[4157.62 --> 4158.50] and shaking +[4158.50 --> 4159.02] his fist +[4159.02 --> 4159.52] at the heavens +[4159.52 --> 4160.54] look on me +[4160.54 --> 4161.22] and answer +[4161.22 --> 4161.96] oh God +[4161.96 --> 4163.76] or +[4163.76 --> 4165.50] maybe he's +[4165.50 --> 4165.86] broken +[4165.86 --> 4167.22] and he's +[4167.22 --> 4167.80] weeping +[4167.80 --> 4168.70] and he's +[4168.70 --> 4169.08] hiding +[4169.08 --> 4170.18] in the corner +[4170.18 --> 4170.58] and he's +[4170.58 --> 4171.04] saying give +[4171.04 --> 4171.78] light to my +[4171.78 --> 4172.32] eyes +[4172.32 --> 4173.18] or I will +[4173.18 --> 4173.66] sleep +[4173.66 --> 4174.90] in death +[4174.90 --> 4177.36] either way +[4177.36 --> 4177.98] he has +[4177.98 --> 4178.72] come to +[4178.72 --> 4179.56] the fullest +[4179.56 --> 4180.70] expression +[4180.70 --> 4182.02] of his +[4182.02 --> 4182.68] feeling +[4182.68 --> 4186.12] and then again +[4186.12 --> 4187.98] in that verse +[4187.98 --> 4188.36] there +[4188.36 --> 4188.80] in verse +[4188.80 --> 4189.74] 3 +[4189.74 --> 4190.40] says +[4190.40 --> 4191.16] make my +[4191.16 --> 4191.56] eyes +[4191.56 --> 4192.24] shine +[4192.24 --> 4193.08] lest I +[4193.08 --> 4193.50] sleep +[4193.50 --> 4194.18] in death +[4194.18 --> 4195.76] right? +[4195.76 --> 4196.16] it's the +[4196.16 --> 4196.92] same word +[4196.92 --> 4197.40] from the +[4197.40 --> 4197.86] priestly +[4197.86 --> 4198.64] blessing +[4198.64 --> 4199.04] that we've +[4199.04 --> 4199.24] already +[4199.24 --> 4199.70] seen +[4199.70 --> 4200.44] right? +[4200.56 --> 4200.84] may the +[4200.84 --> 4201.04] Lord +[4201.04 --> 4201.52] make his +[4201.52 --> 4201.88] face +[4201.88 --> 4202.64] shine +[4202.64 --> 4203.54] upon you +[4203.54 --> 4203.82] David +[4203.82 --> 4204.38] is saying +[4204.38 --> 4205.22] look on me +[4205.22 --> 4205.72] and answer +[4205.72 --> 4206.24] turn your +[4206.24 --> 4206.90] face towards +[4206.90 --> 4207.06] me +[4207.06 --> 4207.42] that I +[4207.42 --> 4208.28] may again +[4208.28 --> 4209.22] reflect the +[4209.22 --> 4209.82] shine +[4209.82 --> 4210.72] of your +[4210.72 --> 4211.18] presence +[4211.18 --> 4211.64] that I +[4211.64 --> 4212.10] may again +[4212.10 --> 4212.82] reflect the +[4212.82 --> 4213.28] shine +[4213.28 --> 4213.92] of your +[4213.92 --> 4214.28] glory +[4214.28 --> 4214.70] and your +[4214.70 --> 4214.98] peace +[4214.98 --> 4215.66] and if +[4215.66 --> 4216.06] you do +[4216.06 --> 4216.66] not +[4216.66 --> 4218.10] I +[4218.10 --> 4218.84] will +[4218.84 --> 4219.84] die +[4219.84 --> 4224.82] and so +[4224.82 --> 4225.34] now +[4225.34 --> 4228.18] now +[4228.18 --> 4228.60] we're at +[4228.60 --> 4229.22] the place +[4229.22 --> 4230.96] where we've +[4230.96 --> 4231.30] held +[4231.30 --> 4232.38] that emotion +[4232.38 --> 4233.64] we've held +[4233.64 --> 4234.20] that anger +[4234.20 --> 4234.64] and we've +[4234.64 --> 4235.22] looked at +[4235.22 --> 4235.44] it +[4235.44 --> 4236.08] and we've +[4236.08 --> 4236.84] looked at +[4236.84 --> 4237.18] it from +[4237.18 --> 4238.14] various sides +[4238.14 --> 4238.72] and facets +[4238.72 --> 4239.24] we've +[4239.24 --> 4239.80] entered +[4239.80 --> 4240.66] into it +[4240.66 --> 4241.08] with the +[4241.08 --> 4241.60] psalmist +[4241.60 --> 4241.98] right? +[4242.08 --> 4242.80] and seeing +[4242.80 --> 4243.84] our anger +[4243.84 --> 4244.68] more clearly +[4244.68 --> 4245.76] allows us +[4245.76 --> 4246.24] to begin +[4246.24 --> 4246.96] to see +[4246.96 --> 4247.68] what it +[4247.68 --> 4248.46] truly is +[4248.46 --> 4250.18] and I +[4250.18 --> 4251.22] I'll share +[4251.22 --> 4251.74] this one +[4251.74 --> 4252.24] with you +[4252.24 --> 4253.16] I love +[4253.16 --> 4253.54] the way +[4253.54 --> 4254.10] that Allender +[4254.10 --> 4254.68] and Longman +[4254.68 --> 4255.90] in their +[4255.90 --> 4256.14] book +[4256.14 --> 4256.48] The Cry +[4256.48 --> 4256.98] of the Soul +[4256.98 --> 4257.80] they summarize +[4257.80 --> 4258.14] it +[4258.14 --> 4258.60] they say +[4258.60 --> 4260.50] the core +[4260.50 --> 4261.44] of unrighteous +[4261.44 --> 4261.90] anger +[4261.90 --> 4262.68] is a +[4262.68 --> 4263.08] hatred +[4263.08 --> 4264.10] of vulnerability +[4264.10 --> 4265.54] and a +[4265.54 --> 4265.98] love +[4265.98 --> 4266.86] of control +[4266.86 --> 4269.42] so as +[4269.42 --> 4269.82] you look +[4269.82 --> 4270.14] at your +[4270.14 --> 4270.90] own life +[4270.90 --> 4271.36] here +[4271.36 --> 4272.32] in this +[4272.32 --> 4272.68] moment +[4272.68 --> 4273.78] or maybe +[4273.78 --> 4274.36] this is a +[4274.36 --> 4274.64] point of +[4274.64 --> 4275.10] application +[4275.10 --> 4275.48] for you +[4275.48 --> 4275.90] to take +[4275.90 --> 4276.50] throughout +[4276.50 --> 4276.94] the week +[4276.94 --> 4277.70] as you +[4277.70 --> 4278.04] look at +[4278.04 --> 4278.36] your own +[4278.36 --> 4278.56] life +[4278.56 --> 4279.18] where does +[4279.18 --> 4279.90] your anger +[4279.90 --> 4281.06] come from? +[4282.00 --> 4282.30] does your +[4282.30 --> 4283.30] anger show up +[4283.30 --> 4284.12] when you realize +[4284.12 --> 4284.64] your own +[4284.64 --> 4285.06] weakness +[4285.06 --> 4285.66] or your own +[4285.66 --> 4286.10] inability? +[4286.68 --> 4287.16] does anger +[4287.16 --> 4287.70] show up +[4287.70 --> 4288.08] when you are +[4288.08 --> 4288.78] bumping up +[4288.78 --> 4289.30] against the +[4289.30 --> 4289.62] limits +[4289.62 --> 4290.26] of your +[4290.26 --> 4291.20] control +[4291.20 --> 4291.72] or the +[4291.72 --> 4292.66] area over +[4292.66 --> 4293.12] which you +[4293.12 --> 4294.12] have exercised +[4294.12 --> 4294.66] control? +[4295.74 --> 4295.90] right? +[4295.92 --> 4296.72] when you realize +[4296.72 --> 4297.08] that you are +[4297.08 --> 4297.82] powerless to +[4297.82 --> 4298.22] change a +[4298.22 --> 4298.74] situation +[4298.74 --> 4299.94] or let's +[4299.94 --> 4300.72] get practical +[4300.72 --> 4301.16] when you are +[4301.16 --> 4301.88] powerless to +[4301.88 --> 4302.38] change your +[4302.38 --> 4302.78] spouse +[4302.78 --> 4303.32] or you are +[4303.32 --> 4304.04] powerless to +[4304.04 --> 4304.50] change your +[4304.50 --> 4304.88] kids +[4304.88 --> 4305.58] or when you +[4305.58 --> 4306.08] figure out +[4306.08 --> 4306.44] that you are +[4306.44 --> 4307.10] powerless to +[4307.10 --> 4307.48] change your +[4307.48 --> 4308.14] boss +[4308.14 --> 4308.88] right? +[4309.04 --> 4309.68] is that when +[4309.68 --> 4310.32] you get angry? +[4311.94 --> 4312.74] or let's +[4312.74 --> 4313.60] put a finer +[4313.60 --> 4314.28] point on it +[4314.28 --> 4316.52] are you angry +[4316.52 --> 4317.14] at God +[4317.14 --> 4317.82] who is in +[4317.82 --> 4318.32] control +[4318.32 --> 4319.58] or are you +[4319.58 --> 4320.50] really angry +[4320.50 --> 4321.36] that you are +[4321.36 --> 4321.70] not? +[4327.12 --> 4327.70] and so +[4327.70 --> 4328.40] having entered +[4328.40 --> 4330.52] into the +[4330.52 --> 4331.02] anger +[4331.02 --> 4332.64] to the point +[4332.64 --> 4333.26] of death +[4333.26 --> 4335.90] right? +[4335.90 --> 4336.54] having entered +[4336.54 --> 4337.42] into what +[4337.42 --> 4338.08] seems like +[4338.08 --> 4338.64] the victory +[4338.64 --> 4339.14] of his +[4339.14 --> 4339.44] enemy +[4339.44 --> 4340.10] having walked +[4340.10 --> 4340.54] the road +[4340.54 --> 4340.84] together +[4340.84 --> 4341.52] having heard +[4341.52 --> 4342.62] and understood +[4342.62 --> 4343.58] his pain +[4343.58 --> 4344.48] now +[4344.48 --> 4346.64] now we +[4346.64 --> 4346.98] can +[4346.98 --> 4348.20] speak +[4348.20 --> 4348.74] verse 5 +[4348.74 --> 4349.22] and 6 +[4349.22 --> 4350.88] right? +[4350.96 --> 4351.46] now we +[4351.46 --> 4352.06] can say +[4352.06 --> 4353.20] but I +[4353.20 --> 4353.58] trust in +[4353.58 --> 4354.14] your unfailing +[4354.14 --> 4354.60] love +[4354.60 --> 4355.10] my heart +[4355.10 --> 4355.78] rejoices in +[4355.78 --> 4356.42] your salvation +[4356.42 --> 4357.54] or to put it +[4357.54 --> 4358.00] another way +[4358.00 --> 4359.94] it's not +[4359.94 --> 4360.84] good news +[4360.84 --> 4362.00] if you skip +[4362.00 --> 4362.40] over the +[4362.40 --> 4362.78] cross +[4362.78 --> 4366.28] but I +[4366.28 --> 4366.88] trust +[4366.88 --> 4368.20] in your +[4368.20 --> 4368.80] unfailing +[4368.80 --> 4369.24] love +[4369.24 --> 4372.32] now there +[4372.32 --> 4372.84] are times +[4372.84 --> 4373.22] when we +[4373.22 --> 4373.64] hear this +[4373.64 --> 4374.06] verse +[4374.06 --> 4375.74] and I +[4375.74 --> 4376.12] think that +[4376.12 --> 4376.60] it remains +[4376.60 --> 4377.44] difficult for +[4377.44 --> 4378.02] our hearing +[4378.02 --> 4378.74] because we +[4378.74 --> 4379.14] think of +[4379.14 --> 4379.70] trust +[4379.70 --> 4380.96] as another +[4380.96 --> 4381.56] emotion +[4381.56 --> 4383.24] right? +[4383.24 --> 4383.94] if anger +[4383.94 --> 4384.64] is usually +[4384.64 --> 4385.24] a negative +[4385.24 --> 4385.84] emotion +[4385.84 --> 4386.58] we think +[4386.58 --> 4387.00] of trust +[4387.00 --> 4387.46] as a good +[4387.46 --> 4387.84] emotion +[4387.84 --> 4388.14] and so +[4388.14 --> 4388.50] instead of +[4388.50 --> 4388.90] this negative +[4388.90 --> 4389.34] emotion +[4389.34 --> 4390.08] have this +[4390.08 --> 4390.52] positive +[4390.52 --> 4390.88] one +[4390.88 --> 4391.46] in its +[4391.46 --> 4391.84] place +[4391.84 --> 4392.52] and while +[4392.52 --> 4392.94] there are +[4392.94 --> 4393.56] emotional +[4393.56 --> 4394.22] or emotive +[4394.22 --> 4394.62] aspects +[4394.62 --> 4395.26] to our +[4395.26 --> 4395.68] trust +[4395.68 --> 4396.10] and to +[4396.10 --> 4396.36] our +[4396.36 --> 4397.02] faith +[4397.02 --> 4397.44] that's +[4397.44 --> 4397.76] not +[4397.76 --> 4398.02] what +[4398.02 --> 4398.30] this +[4398.30 --> 4398.56] is +[4398.56 --> 4398.98] about +[4398.98 --> 4400.28] right? +[4400.30 --> 4400.64] the word +[4400.64 --> 4401.26] trust +[4401.26 --> 4402.22] is used +[4402.22 --> 4402.66] in this +[4402.66 --> 4403.04] text +[4403.04 --> 4403.46] in the +[4403.46 --> 4404.38] perfect +[4404.38 --> 4404.98] tense +[4404.98 --> 4405.22] now +[4405.22 --> 4406.18] again +[4406.18 --> 4406.42] we're +[4406.42 --> 4406.64] dealing +[4406.64 --> 4407.10] with grammar +[4407.10 --> 4407.42] and so +[4407.42 --> 4407.62] I don't +[4407.62 --> 4408.04] expect you +[4408.04 --> 4408.34] to know +[4408.34 --> 4408.64] what that +[4408.64 --> 4408.88] means +[4408.88 --> 4409.08] but +[4409.08 --> 4409.86] in Hebrew +[4409.86 --> 4410.20] grammar +[4410.20 --> 4410.74] the perfect +[4410.74 --> 4411.08] tense +[4411.08
