Hey everybody.
2
:Welcome back to another edition
of the Daily Bible Podcast.
3
:How are y'all doing?
4
:Is everyone doing okay?
5
:We'll wait.
6
:We'll wait for you to respond
to that, but only a second.
7
:Yep.
8
:Okay, because that's where I cut us off.
9
:I know you don't let long
periods of silence in there.
10
:I don't.
11
:I don't like to waste your time.
12
:So if you really wanna take time to
talk to us, just go ahead and hit that
13
:pause button and we'll just sit here.
14
:We'll wait for you while you talk
it out, and then you can hit play.
15
:And then we'll say, Hey, we really
appreciate you sharing that with us.
16
:We took that to heart.
17
:We're listening.
18
:Yeah, we're here for you.
19
:That's sad, man.
20
:I hope you have a real person to talk to.
21
:Don't talk to the podcast.
22
:That's true.
23
:Talk to a real person.
24
:That's true.
25
:Or come talk to us in the
office if you want to.
26
:If you're part of our church,
we invite you to come in anytime
27
:to see Pastor PJ or Lewis.
28
:Kelly's always here.
29
:She'll, she'd love to welcome you.
30
:We've got good snacks.
31
:Hey, this this Sunday we're
launching a brand new series at
32
:church on the minor prophets.
33
:And just as a heads up to parents,
we are starting with the book of
34
:Hosea, which is a little spicy.
35
:So I, full disclosure, I'm still trying
to figure out how, what word I'm gonna
36
:use to describe the woman in Hosea.
37
:Ladies parents, just a heads up on that
if you normally keep your kids with
38
:you and don't send 'em to our kids men.
39
:Just be forewarned that it's a
spicy book on, on Sunday as we
40
:jump into the minor profit series.
41
:But on that note, I was thinking about
some other things going on in pop culture.
42
:Pierre, I'd love to get your thoughts
on how we should think about, or I.
43
:And how much we should be invested
in or curious about, for example the
44
:P Diddy trial going on right now,
or the Epstein list and things like
45
:that, that have been, people have
talked about we're gonna lease release
46
:this list and we're gonna release the
people that have been involved in this.
47
:And I think it's whipped
up a bunch of frenzy.
48
:Everybody's we wanna see the Epstein
list, or we want to know who was at
49
:the parties with P Diddy as Christians.
50
:Do we care?
51
:Does it register for us?
52
:How do we, because obviously we know
there's the giving ourselves over to the
53
:voyeuristic element of it, or to be overly
involved or overly curious about it.
54
:But should we care even as these
things are splashing across the
55
:headlines, do we, should we sit there
and say they need to release the list?
56
:Yeah.
57
:Okay.
58
:Couple things.
59
:Number one, scripture talks about
Christians being those who pursue justice.
60
:Yeah, we want justice.
61
:Yes.
62
:And even from a human standpoint,
this is what God charges
63
:Israel with failing to do.
64
:They don't love justice.
65
:They don't love mercy.
66
:They're not doing the right things.
67
:And so God calls him to task and saying,
look, one of the reasons that you're going
68
:to be sent to the Assyrians and to the
Babylonians is because you're failing it.
69
:Bringing about justice, you're
not doing the right thing.
70
:And so I think a Christian always
has a vested interest in seeing
71
:that his government, her government
is pursuing righteous causes.
72
:And so to that end, I would say
Diddy and Epstein and whoever else,
73
:there's been lots of people in the
past 10 years, especially during
74
:the Me Too movement, even those who.
75
:Were guilty of certain
things during the lockdowns.
76
:I think about some of the people that
were exonerated, or not exonerated,
77
:they were j Joseph Pardoned.
78
:Pardoned.
79
:Thank you.
80
:That's the word I was looking
for before he left office.
81
:Christians feel the pain
of that because that's, I.
82
:That's justice.
83
:That's the foundations of justice being
a, they're crumbling at the foundations.
84
:So we care about justice.
85
:Christians always care about justice.
86
:Christians vote for just laws.
87
:Christians wanna see justice enacted.
88
:Christians are all about righteousness.
89
:We want that.
90
:I.
91
:All that to say, there are
times when you said it.
92
:I think we have a voyeuristic interest
in things and that's part of what the
93
:news cycle is intending to incite in us.
94
:They're not trying to inform and to
say, here's a way to think about this.
95
:That would be helpful and wise and
God would approve the thinking.
96
:This over.
97
:No, it's always clickbait.
98
:You'll never guess who's
on the Epstein list.
99
:You won't believe it when we tell you and
of course it's all this click baby stuff
100
:that's, it's oh, I wanna know who that is.
101
:Oh, what kind of parties did he had?
102
:And look at this video.
103
:Or he looked at this person the
wrong way and now it's all obvi.
104
:This is stuff that's meant to
entice or flesh right, and we ought
105
:to be wise enough to see that.
106
:So should a Christian care, yes.
107
:Should a Christian be enticed, unaware?
108
:Should a Christian be ensnared
by their lustful appetites?
109
:No, and that's where
the line is often clear.
110
:But not always.
111
:And so it's important that you recognize
your news source doesn't always
112
:have your best interest at heart.
113
:Your news source, even if it's from
a reputable newspaper, and I'm gonna
114
:use air quotes to say reputable,
because they're not all that.
115
:Even if they look that way, you
need to be discerning enough to say,
116
:is this the kind of source that I
should be reading about this topic?
117
:Again, you care about justice.
118
:We want that.
119
:We pray for that, we pursue that,
but not all sources are equally
120
:helpful or equally qualitative.
121
:I would agree that's great advice.
122
:And it is an issue of the heart.
123
:It's what's your heart's motive
in wanting to know these things
124
:and wanting to find these things
out and chasing them and, yeah.
125
:And the point of a clickbait
thing is to bypass your thinking.
126
:It's not meant to say,
Hey, think about this.
127
:Do you want, it's, no.
128
:It's meant to appeal
to your lustful flesh.
129
:Tell me more.
130
:I want to hear gossip.
131
:I want salacious details
about this and that.
132
:I wanna know.
133
:It's like one of those things that
there's something in the human nature.
134
:The fallen human nature that says,
I wanna see the gory evil nonsense,
135
:and I want to be entertained by that.
136
:That's a bad indication.
137
:I don't think that's a good thing that
you should allow yourself to pursue
138
:or to entertain, because that doesn't
help the spirit that entices the flesh.
139
:What is the proverb that talks
about gossip is like a morsel
140
:that goes down into that.
141
:It goes down, yeah.
142
:That's what I was trying to look it up.
143
:I'll cut out the silence.
144
:Thanks, man.
145
:Do.
146
:It can't cut that out.
147
:If you're gonna do.
148
:All right.
149
:Proverbs 18, eight.
150
:The words of a whisper are
like a delicious morsel.
151
:They go down into the inner
parts of the body that that's.
152
:Summing up what we're talking about here.
153
:All of our news media
outlets are whisperers.
154
:Yeah.
155
:That's all they are.
156
:Most of them anyway.
157
:Buzzfeed, I think of let's talk
about some recent regular offenders.
158
:Most everything on Facebook Yep.
159
:Is click bait.
160
:And it's meant to be
this, it's provocative.
161
:It's meant to draw your attention.
162
:It's not meant to help you.
163
:It's meant to get you down a rabbit hole.
164
:In fact, when you click on
those links, and I don't.
165
:Know this, except by my own experience,
it takes you to links that are like,
166
:oh, here's 50 other ones that you'll
wanna look at that are also just as
167
:salacious and gory and whatever else.
168
:So most of Facebook Pro, I don't
know, X is 50 50, I feel like.
169
:Yeah, sometimes you get good
ones, other times not so much.
170
:I guess I.
171
:Let's just say this, that the quality
is a big deal and finding quality
172
:sources for your news and for your
information is really challenging.
173
:Today it's really hard, but
this is part of our job.
174
:Yeah.
175
:And there's a, I'm not gonna go all
Trump and be like, fake news but
176
:there's a ton of fake news that's
out there on both sides, though.
177
:Both sides, but not even that.
178
:Just in the influencer world too.
179
:Oh, yeah.
180
:Like we've made a lot of jokes and
comments, offhand, comments about,
181
:microplastics and stuff like that.
182
:I referenced this account literally on, on
Sunday where this woman like get, is like,
183
:Hey ladies, you all need to be waking up
and grinding your own sausage and making
184
:your own biscuits and preparing, home Jam.
185
:Yeah.
186
:She, oh, she just models it.
187
:She does it.
188
:But then she says, why are you
buying butter from the grocery store?
189
:It's got all of these additives
and all of these other ingredients.
190
:Butter needs to have
just milk and salt in it.
191
:It's you live on a farm in Idaho, so
you can do that, but for the rest of
192
:these normal people, all that to say,
yeah, people are excited about that.
193
:In fact, if I remember
right, I heard a few mms.
194
:How'd you feel about that?
195
:Yeah, I was glad about that.
196
:I was like, yeah I will preach that.
197
:Yeah.
198
:Don't take every homeschool mom's
PhD to the bank for you on how to,
199
:how you should be raising your kids.
200
:Do what's best for your family and then.
201
:Let everybody else live their life.
202
:Yeah.
203
:I saw recently on x, one of the accounts
I follow, they posted about Vodi Baum.
204
:Yeah.
205
:There's this website on,
or this channel on YouTube.
206
:I sound like an old person already.
207
:There's this Google it on
YouTube, Google Let's, yeah.
208
:Anyway there is this channel on YouTube
that is a bunch of Vodi sermons.
209
:Yeah.
210
:They look like Vodi.
211
:They sound like Vodi.
212
:They're like three things.
213
:Every guy needs to know about this.
214
:Something like that.
215
:And the website highlighted
the fact, rather the.
216
:The X account highlighted the fact
that these are all AI generated.
217
:Yeah.
218
:They're all taking his voice and
putting together vodi like sermons
219
:based on content that he's producing.
220
:I thought that's terrifying.
221
:Yeah.
222
:Cool.
223
:Because it sounds so convincing.
224
:It looks good.
225
:It sounds provocative.
226
:It's just, yeah.
227
:This is a difficult time to be alive.
228
:Somebody's doing that with
MacArthur too, actually.
229
:Not surprised.
230
:Yeah, not surprised.
231
:Yeah.
232
:Nobody's doing that with me.
233
:Not yet.
234
:Not that I know of.
235
:But I do it.
236
:I'm, yes you do.
237
:I just, but I take what's already there
and just, and I use it for my purposes.
238
:That's different.
239
:You just take it outta
context and put it over here.
240
:That's it.
241
:Alright.
242
:Let, by the way, lemme give you a caveat.
243
:I didn't mean to put all
homeschool moms on blast.
244
:We love you guys and not all of y'all are.
245
:There's regular moms and not regular moms.
246
:See, I'm just getting, you can
just delete all that stuff out.
247
:Pastor Rod, you can just cut all that.
248
:That's what makes us endearing.
249
:Yeah, it's.
250
:Words.
251
:That's not perfect.
252
:Hold on.
253
:Let me get my foot outta
my mouth, everybody.
254
:It takes me a minute before I'm
named after Peter, the foot, the
255
:apostle with a foot shaped mouth.
256
:So there you go.
257
:Yeah, I just, I don't like when
people sensationalize things and
258
:fear monger and everything else.
259
:It's it irks me.
260
:I vexes me.
261
:I'm terribly vexed.
262
:Anyways, let's get into our
Bible reading for the day.
263
:Psalm 95, Psalm 96, Psalm 97 90, or
no, not 96, Psalm 95 and 97 through 99.
264
:Psalm 95 is a psalm giving us reason
to praise and warnings of what
265
:will happen if we don't praise God.
266
:And so verses seven second half
of verse seven through nine are
267
:the warnings along with verse 11.
268
:And these are actually quoted by
the writer of Hebrews and applied
269
:to those that he was addressing who
were attempted to return to Judaism.
270
:So you'll read this and sound
and say that sounds familiar.
271
:It sounds, it's somewhere in
the New Testament where if it.
272
:Is it's there in Hebrews.
273
:Hebrews chapter three.
274
:And so this is from Psalm 95.
275
:Today.
276
:If you hear his voice, do not harden
your hearts as at marba on the
277
:day at Messiah in the wilderness.
278
:When your father's put me to the test and
put me to the proof, though they had seen
279
:my work, verse 11, therefore I sworn my
wrath, they shall not enter my wr my rest.
280
:So the writer of Hebrews takes this
and applies it to the context of the.
281
:Christians in in the area that
he was writing to who were
282
:attempted to go back to Judaism.
283
:He's saying don't do this.
284
:Don't harden your hearts against the Lord.
285
:And so Psalm 95 is giving us reasons
to praise God and also warning us
286
:what happens if we harden our hearts
and refuse to praise God as well.
287
:Psalm 97.
288
:Then the phrase that came to mind
as I was reading this is just
289
:the phrase, the fear of the Lord.
290
:This is a picture of God that should
instill fear in his enemies and that rev
291
:reverential respect in us who love him.
292
:The psalmist even concludes as
much in verse 10 when he says, oh,
293
:you who love the Lord hate evil.
294
:And it's just an appropriate response.
295
:But this is a picture of God
that is a powerful picture.
296
:It is the fire that goes before him in
verse three that burns up his adversaries,
297
:his lightnings, that light up the world.
298
:Just like the other night, we had that
massive storm blow through here and the
299
:lighting was just nonstop around us.
300
:And this is a picture of that, but that
coming from the vengeance of God, the.
301
:Anger of God, the mountains melting.
302
:And then it says, the heavens
proclaim his righteousness and
303
:all the people see his glory.
304
:And for the unbeliever, that's
gonna be a terrifying scene.
305
:But for the believer, it is a
cause for us to worship him, but to
306
:worship him in that reverential fear.
307
:Yeah, I love the way that you see us.
308
:In verse two, it says, clouds and
thick darkness are all around him.
309
:And we typically associate that with evil.
310
:And that's and understandably
because we look at that and we
311
:say, that sounds terrifying.
312
:That sounds threatening.
313
:That's because it is.
314
:I think about Isaiah chapter six the
foundations of the threshold shook
315
:and there was smoke all around.
316
:God is holy and part of his
holiness is the display of his
317
:holiness in kind of a foreboding and
terrifying differentiation from us.
318
:But in the second part of verse
two, righteousness and justice
319
:are the foundation of his throne,
and that's what's terrifying.
320
:It's a good thing that God is righteous
and just He does all things well.
321
:There's no evil or sin in him,
and yet that's the problem that
322
:we have with him, is that he is
righteous and just, and we are not.
323
:This presents an issue for us, which
is why the judgment of God that
324
:the clouds and thick darkness are
threatening to us because apart from
325
:Jesus dying on the cross for our
sin, we are certainly his enemies.
326
:And so the adversaries that the
Psalm talks about, those are us.
327
:Unless he provides something to atone.
328
:Yeah, Psalm 98.
329
:Then if Psalm 96 or 97 rather instills
fear within us Psalm 98 should
330
:provoke joy as the reason for worship.
331
:And so we have in here the call to sing
a new song, but we will see in verse
332
:four, make a joyful noise, verse four.
333
:Again, break into joyous.
334
:Song verse six, and again
a call for a joyful noise.
335
:In fact, even all of creation is
being called to praise the Lord,
336
:the seas to roar the rivers to clap
their hands, the hills to sing again.
337
:Here it is for joy together before the
Lord, before he comes to judge the earth.
338
:And so even though the Lord is coming in
judgment, verse two, the Lord has made
339
:known his salvation and revealed his
righteousness in the sight of the nations.
340
:And so there's reason for us
as Christians, especially to
341
:read Psalm 98 and to say, okay,
I've got reason to praise God.
342
:That's gonna be a joyful reason to
praise God because he has brought
343
:salvation, revealed his righteousness.
344
:We know in the person of Christ.
345
:He says he's coming to judge the Earth.
346
:And again, that's the problem.
347
:But before we get there, we do
get to say, man, the Lord is worth
348
:everything that we have to give.
349
:In fact, we were just talking about this
we were talking about the conversation.
350
:Where do we put
announcements in our church?
351
:Yep.
352
:Because we're trying to figure
out, okay, where do we get the
353
:most amount of people to hear it?
354
:We want them to respond
and come to the events.
355
:But we also don't want it to be a
distraction where it's interrupting
356
:our worship our worship and song
that is worship is more than music.
357
:It's not less than that though.
358
:And so I think this Psalm encourages our
people, encourages Christians, believers
359
:in Yahweh to be people who are singing.
360
:Even if that's not natural
to your constitution, it is
361
:natural or supernatural as a
believer to sing to the Lord.
362
:This is part of what we're called
to do, which is why we show up to
363
:church on time so that we can do this.
364
:We wanna participate in the
body's worship, and that includes,
365
:I know someone said once.
366
:I love worship music.
367
:And not too long thereafter, they were,
I don't wanna say complaining, but they
368
:were making a comment about the song that
we do that they weren't excited about.
369
:And I thought, then I wonder if you like
worship music or if you just like music
370
:maybe you don't actually enjoy worship.
371
:Maybe you just enjoy having your ears
enjoy a certain kind of melody or a
372
:certain riff or something like that.
373
:Now worship will
transcend our preferences.
374
:And I know even as the worship leader,
you guys might think it's 'cause
375
:I'm handpicking all the songs that
we do, that I must love them all.
376
:I don't, I pick songs that I
think are helpful for us songs
377
:that I don't enjoy doing.
378
:In fact, some songs, there's 13
different core changes in the first line.
379
:I'm looking at you Geddes that
are so hard to play, but I'm
380
:like, this is a good song.
381
:This is helpful for us to sing.
382
:And I put it on our agenda,
I put it on our service.
383
:I'm like, this is a, this is good
for us to sing and to do together.
384
:So I don't even pick all
the songs that I like.
385
:I pick songs that are helpful for us.
386
:All right, so everybody's dying to know.
387
:What's your least favorite song?
388
:No, I'm kidding.
389
:I'm not gonna put you on books.
390
:I dunno.
391
:I even have one because every time
we play that people are gonna be,
392
:he doesn't want, he doesn't like it.
393
:He hates that song.
394
:Yeah.
395
:But I still sing them with gusto.
396
:I still s them in their heart.
397
:'cause I'm like this, I think the
lyrics are worth singing and working
398
:through all the different chord
changes for, and that's life of.
399
:Of sometimes we do work through things.
400
:We were just talking about this
series that we're doing this upcoming
401
:summer on the minor prophets.
402
:It's gonna be a difficult series.
403
:Doesn't mean it's not gonna be
good, but it's gonna be difficult
404
:and there are times, and that's
part of expositional preaching.
405
:You preach the next text that's up now.
406
:Difference is I've done this to myself.
407
:You chose it.
408
:Yes.
409
:Yeah.
410
:I decided to go through the minor of
prophets and I think it's gonna be
411
:helpful and beneficial for our church.
412
:That said, it's gonna be hard.
413
:It's gonna stretch me as a preacher,
it's gonna stretch you when you
414
:pitch hit and preach in for a couple
weeks while I'm gone outta town.
415
:It's hard And sometimes it's hard, though.
416
:It's hard.
417
:Doesn't mean it's not gonna be
profitable, though it's hard.
418
:Doesn't mean that we shouldn't
do it, though It's hard.
419
:Doesn't mean that it's not gonna
be something that we can also,
420
:at the same time we're going,
this is really hard at this.
421
:We can also say, and I love
doing it at the same time.
422
:There's that marriage there that is,
is strange, but it's so good when it's
423
:present and we can have that mindset.
424
:I like a good challenge.
425
:Yeah.
426
:Alright.
427
:Psalm 99 Psalm 99.
428
:Then this is bookends it's back to
this idea of fear inducing worship
429
:here, at least as I read this.
430
:He's again picturing the lord.
431
:The Lord is great.
432
:He's exalted the king in
his might loves justice.
433
:You've established equity.
434
:Again, that to your point,
pastor Rod, that's the problem.
435
:We don't measure up.
436
:Verse five though.
437
:Exalt the Lord, worship at his footstool.
438
:Holy is he we're not.
439
:He is, we're gonna bow
before his footstool there.
440
:He talks about Moses
and Aaron in the psalm.
441
:But again it's again, a psalm that is
going to be fear inducing as it magnifies
442
:the power of God and the holiness of God
as the grounds for our worship of him.
443
:What is a footstool?
444
:How many of us actually use one?
445
:I don't use a footstool, do you?
446
:I don't think I do.
447
:We talk about ottomans.
448
:People have ottomans.
449
:I guess that's a foot still.
450
:Yeah.
451
:That, that you'll put your feet up on
as a posture of reclining, of rest.
452
:And we're gonna worship it as footstool.
453
:No one wants to sit by somebody's
ottoman if they've got their
454
:feet stretched out on it.
455
:Yeah.
456
:'cause it's like a, I don't
wanna be next to your feet.
457
:It's a demeaning posture.
458
:It's a demeaning position, but that's.
459
:Intentionally, the psalmist
is putting himself there and
460
:saying, this is where I belong.
461
:I belong here at your feet and I'm
gonna worship even just at your feet.
462
:Reminded of I think it's.
463
:Is it job?
464
:He talks about the fringes of Yeah.
465
:Of God.
466
:The fringes.
467
:Yeah.
468
:Yeah.
469
:The fringes of his robe.
470
:Yeah.
471
:Or Isaiah in Isaiah six where he can't
even get above the robe there be before
472
:the throne and the vision of Christ.
473
:He said, this is as far as I can get.
474
:I'm just gonna be able to describe
the edges of your garments.
475
:Yeah, it's worship at his
ottoman is what I'm atman saying.
476
:Worship.
477
:Yes.
478
:I think it's really, it's a great
image because a king doesn't
479
:put his feet on the ground.
480
:He's too high, he's too lofty, and so he
would always have something to rest his
481
:foot upon, even if he's not reclining
like we typically do with an ottoman.
482
:It's really interesting because
the footstool imagery, I did some,
483
:a little bit of work on this.
484
:It's used all over the place.
485
:The idea of the foot.
486
:So in fact, in this particular psalm, if
you look at verse five, he says, exalt the
487
:Lord our God, worship at his footstool.
488
:Which by itself is really interesting
because we think about exalting him,
489
:we're lifting him up, we're trying
to and we're not lifting him up as in
490
:as though he needs to be propped up.
491
:We're exalting him as
who he is, what he is.
492
:And the best that we can offer is
we're gonna worship at his foot.
493
:Verse nine probably explains the
footstool in view here, which in
494
:this case is exalt the Lord God
in worship, not at his footstool,
495
:at his Holy mountain, Jerusalem.
496
:So in this case, the footstool
is probably a reference to the
497
:mountain, but it's used all over.
498
:It's used as the ark,
it's used as the temple.
499
:It's used about his enemies.
500
:Yeah, his enemies become his footstool.
501
:Yeah.
502
:Sit at my right hand until your
enemies become a footstool.
503
:Psalm two.
504
:One 10.
505
:One 10.
506
:That's what I was thinking.
507
:Psalm one 10.
508
:Did you hear me say it differently?
509
:I did.
510
:I caught You must have misheard.
511
:Yeah, sorry.
512
:So the footstool the idea here then is
that everything is a footstool to God.
513
:The concept of everything being God's
footstool means that he's exalted over
514
:all things everywhere, all the time, at
all places, which is an amazing thought
515
:because this is what we talk about.
516
:We want to maintain a high view
of God because he is high, not
517
:because we're trying to prop him up.
518
:The footstool analogy.
519
:So good.
520
:When you're worshiping God, you're at his
footstool, and that's where we belong.
521
:That is great and great observation on
verse nine to the comparison to Holy
522
:Mountain, because if this is I can't
remember if this is Davidic or not.
523
:No, it doesn't have a title, but if
this is post Davidic, if the temple
524
:is there even before the temple,
the ark, you mentioned the ark.
525
:For the Israelite at the time, that was
the pinnacle of the place of God's glory.
526
:And then the temple is
built the Holy of Holies.
527
:And the priest can only go in there
once a year and he's gonna wear bells in
528
:case he dies and they can pull 'em out.
529
:When they hear him stop,
jingling around in there.
530
:And yet God's going.
531
:That's not, that's just my foot stool.
532
:That's not even, that's nothing
essentially to me, this is just
533
:propping up the feet of my glory.
534
:The fullness of my glory is so much more
than what you guys are experiencing here.
535
:Just a simple taste of it there.
536
:Yeah.
537
:Moses couldn't even see the back of his
glory without being radically changed.
538
:Yeah.
539
:And that's something we
don't often think about.
540
:We see the beauty in glory.
541
:Of God in Christ, but
even that's mitigated.
542
:We're not seeing the
full ulence of his glory.
543
:That's a good word.
544
:It's a great word.
545
:The manifestation of his lightness,
his brightness on in this life.
546
:We see glimpses of it.
547
:We get Costco samples of it, but
certainly not the full extent.
548
:And that's something that we can look
forward to the, in the next life.
549
:Totally.
550
:Hey, let's pray and then we'll
be done with this episode.
551
:God we look forward to that
time of being with you.
552
:In the meantime, give us
a greater appreciation for
553
:the fullness of your glory.
554
:As much as we can wrap
our minds around it.
555
:It is, but the edges of the garment,
of your glory and even for eternity
556
:we, it's not like we're going to
step foot in eternity and say look.
557
:We fully understand the glory of God.
558
:We're gonna spend all of eternity
trying to fully understand your glory.
559
:And so help us to understand
just as, as much as we can, as
560
:your creatures now here and now.
561
:And so we thank you so much for
your kindness to us to reveal what
562
:you have revealed about yourself
to us, and help us to live for
563
:that glory we pray in Jesus' name.
564
:Amen.
565
:Amen.
