Hey everybody.
2
:Welcome back to another edition
in the Daily Bible Podcast.
3
:Hello.
4
:It is it's Monday, which means
the secret is officially out.
5
:We have we've revealed what
the big news was on Sunday.
6
:I can barely stand it.
7
:What did we say?
8
:We're not gonna tell anybody I.
9
:Okay.
10
:So those that weren't there on
Sunday, you don't get to know.
11
:Yeah, I got a text message from
one I won't call him by his first
12
:name, but his initials are g and r.
13
:Okay.
14
:And he was asking if his wife
and him could guess the thing.
15
:Yep.
16
:And I said you can guess.
17
:And I'm not guaranteeing that.
18
:I'll let you know if you got it
right, but he got it totally wrong.
19
:He did ask a really
good follow-up question.
20
:And I answered it truthfully,
but he didn't catch onto it.
21
:So now hopefully he knows
what we just announced.
22
:Yep.
23
:The announcement is we are
moving our our facility.
24
:We're gonna move our facility
from founders in Frisco, Texas
25
:to founders in Prosper, Texas.
26
:And you might think.
27
:If you're not here, okay,
what's the big deal?
28
:It's a massive deal for us.
29
:Frisco's been great.
30
:We have been there for almost two years
now, and and God has blessed our church.
31
:We've been growing there.
32
:And so one of the things that we are
bumping up against is a need for more
33
:space as our church continues to grow.
34
:And Frisco's not as big of a
campus as prosperous, prosper.
35
:Prosper is a bigger campus has
a bigger facility more rooms
36
:for us to be able to utilize.
37
:That's right.
38
:And so we are going to be able to
grow into that a lot easier than that.
39
:It's also up in our
target demographic area.
40
:Frisco's great, but if you're not familiar
with our area Frisco is built out and
41
:it's massive, but it is built out.
42
:When we moved out here, one of the
things that we said is we want to
43
:hit where churches need to be built.
44
:Where the community is expanding and
growing and things are being built.
45
:Schools and Costcos and everything else.
46
:And we wanna build churches there.
47
:And so moving up here puts us more in
line with our ultimate lord willing,
48
:we will see what he does down the
road, but with our target area.
49
:And it opens up a brand
new area of growth for us.
50
:We have evaluated the demographics
for the majority of our church.
51
:Actually, this makes the commute shorter.
52
:And this keeps most of our people,
most of our congregation, over 90% of
53
:our congregation, well over 90% of our
congregation, still within 30 minutes
54
:of a drive to church, which we've
done some research and a lot of the
55
:organizations that look into these things
have said most people are willing to
56
:drive about 30 minutes to get to church.
57
:That's not.
58
:Out of the ordinary.
59
:And so this was a good move for us.
60
:It made a lot of sense.
61
:It opens up a new area for us to reach
even more people as our 30 minute
62
:drive area expands further north into
some of these regions where a lot
63
:of this growth is taking place here.
64
:The administration at Founders has
in Prosper, has worked with churches
65
:in the past and is very open.
66
:So working with us,
they're excited about that.
67
:We're excited about partnering with
them, and it's gonna be a lot better
68
:for our people, our setup and tear down
crews, the that we're gonna be able to
69
:store our trailers on site there, which
is gonna huge, not only save us some
70
:money, saves us money, but saves us time.
71
:Yeah.
72
:Wear and tear on our
vehicles and the people.
73
:These as people that have to tow 'em.
74
:I mean that, that's a lot.
75
:They were towing all the way down to
Frisco, back up to Salina and back.
76
:And so God has opened doors
that we are very excited about.
77
:Starting June one, Lord willing, we are
gonna be launching at Founders in Prosper.
78
:And we are just excited because we'll
see what the Lord does long term as
79
:far as a permanent facility goes.
80
:We're not sure what that's gonna
look like at this point, but this
81
:place allows us to grow and to
really grow into this this school.
82
:It's gonna be awesome.
83
:Yeah, there's really almost
everything that we've thought about.
84
:In, by way of comparison, it is
really a net positive for us.
85
:We've examined this, turned it
over, we've thought about it.
86
:We've tried to even find ways
where, okay, are there anything
87
:that we're not thinking about?
88
:And all the boxes that we're seeking
to check have been checked by this
89
:move and we're really pleased by it
and we're trusting that everybody who
90
:heard us announce it yesterday are
also equally enthusiastic in almost
91
:every metric that we can measure.
92
:This is gonna be an up.
93
:Grade four.
94
:So if you've been tracking with us
since the beginning as either a church
95
:member or just someone who's been
listening from afar, we're grateful
96
:for your prayers and we think this is
a good step in the right direction.
97
:And this is the thing that God
is doing to position us for
98
:whatever the next season is.
99
:And of course, we are hoping
and praying for a building.
100
:We're praying for land.
101
:We're just praying for God to open up
doors that's gonna make sense for us.
102
:And even though this isn't the
ultimate destination, this is a really
103
:great step in the right direction.
104
:And for this, we do praise God.
105
:Yes, we do.
106
:Amen.
107
:Amen.
108
:Let's jump into our text
'cause we've got a lot today.
109
:We have so much to cover.
110
:We have a, how are we gonna do this?
111
:Yeah I, we were talking about
righteous indignation right before we
112
:hit play on or record on the button.
113
:And I feel maybe a little bit over
the fact that he had us read one
114
:Psalm of three verses that one day.
115
:Yeah.
116
:And we've got all of
these psalms to cover.
117
:Alright.
118
:Psalm one and psalm two.
119
:Really they probably were both,
potentially one text at some point
120
:in time, but they've been split up.
121
:Now we've got Psalm one, Psalm two.
122
:Remember when we read the Bible, these
were not written with chapters and verses.
123
:Those were added at a latter date.
124
:And Saint latter.
125
:What?
126
:Latter day Saint You said La Latter.
127
:Latter date.
128
:Oh, dates.
129
:Yeah.
130
:Not latter day Saint.
131
:Yeah, now Latter day Saint.
132
:Yeah.
133
:No, we don't like them.
134
:The Mormons.
135
:We like them.
136
:We love them.
137
:Even we don't like their theology.
138
:We hate their theology.
139
:They're better.
140
:Yeah.
141
:That's a better way to put it.
142
:Anyway, Psalm one really
contrast two types of people.
143
:The wicked and the, just the blessed.
144
:And scripture does that
pretty much across the board.
145
:In fact, if you read the Bible, it's
gonna be, you're gonna be hard pressed
146
:to find anywhere in scripture that has a
neutral man, somebody that isn't either.
147
:Pursuing the Lord and receiving
blessings like this one in Psalm one
148
:who's not walking in the council of
the wicked or standing in the way of
149
:sinners, but delighting in the law.
150
:The Lord meditates on
his law day and night.
151
:There, there's that category, or
there's the camp of the person that
152
:is standing opposed to the Lord.
153
:And and even if you're listening
out there and going, okay I don't.
154
:I don't feel like I'm
actively opposing God.
155
:If you're not actively pursuing
him, then your default is gonna be
156
:towards the flesh, and the flesh is
gonna pull you away from the Lord.
157
:There is no neutrality.
158
:There's no neutrality.
159
:In fact, we talked about that on Sunday.
160
:There's the Monday fog that
kills the Sunday faith.
161
:There's the drift to our default.
162
:And our default is to be
men and women of the flesh.
163
:And we have to actively pursue him.
164
:We have to actively meditate on
his law and delight on his law and
165
:be like the righteous person in
Psalm one rather than the wicked.
166
:Psalm two then is, uh, it's an
interesting psalm 'cause there's so
167
:many different layers to this Psalm.
168
:On the one hand, it was an enthroned
psalm, so this was a psalm that was
169
:read at the beginning of a king's reign.
170
:And so as a king is installed on
the throne, they would've read this
171
:one because it, it talks about.
172
:God installing his king.
173
:And so they would've taken that
language and applied it to the King
174
:of Israel as the King of Israel is
getting ready to take the throne.
175
:But it was also a messianic psalm.
176
:And that's because this king,
this divine figure this royal
177
:figure, and starting in verse six
seems to be the ultimate Messiah.
178
:You are my son today.
179
:I've begotten you.
180
:The kings in ancient near Eastern
culture were considered to have been
181
:adopted by the God of that culture.
182
:And when you had a pagan culture and
they had a king, they would attribute
183
:that king to the be the adopted
son of the God of that culture.
184
:This is unique because this is the
God of Israel saying, I've installed
185
:my king, my son, you are my son.
186
:They would've applied that in the.
187
:Enthronement Psalm to the
earthly king, but there's gonna
188
:come a king in the future.
189
:That's gonna be the actual literal
the Son of God, begotten by God.
190
:And that's gonna be the one
that is going to be the ultimate
191
:king, the messianic king.
192
:So Psalm two has multiple layers here,
including a warning to the opponents
193
:of God to say, Hey don't wait too long.
194
:Honor the son while there's still
chance, because eventually the
195
:sun's gonna come back in judgment.
196
:Yeah, that, I don't know if it ever
struck you as strange, but verse 12, where
197
:it says, kiss the sun les to be angry.
198
:It's not like romantic kiss, right?
199
:Let's just be clear about that.
200
:The notion here is that
you kiss in homage.
201
:It is a way of showing respect
and reverence to the king himself.
202
:And so just like you might kiss
the scepter or you might, and
203
:some of the images of a king, you
might see the subjects kissing the
204
:king's feet or something like that.
205
:That's the idea.
206
:That's the concept that's
being carried here.
207
:And of course, the son, the capital
S here is Jesus Christ, the son, the
208
:Messiah, the son of David, who would
ultimately be established and lifted high.
209
:He's the one that we have to be submissive
to, and he's the one that right now,
210
:while you still have a chance, if there's
breath in your lungs and you have not yet
211
:repented, he's the one that you must pay.
212
:Two.
213
:Yeah.
214
:Romans two, four don't despise
the patience of God, don't presume
215
:upon the riches of his kindness and
forbearance and patience which is
216
:meant to lead you to repentance.
217
:And so that's what this is about
this Old Testament version of that.
218
:Yeah.
219
:That's why the nas b the net Christian
Standard Bible those all do translate
220
:it as do homage to or show honor to.
221
:That's that that concept there.
222
:All of those guys, huh?
223
:They do the NAS B two.
224
:Nas B 95, NAS B.
225
:No kidding.
226
:Early.
227
:Yep.
228
:Because the word is kiss.
229
:The word is the, literally
the literal word is kiss.
230
:But that makes sense.
231
:That they would do, that's a really
interesting text too, because that
232
:I'm sure they know that it's kiss.
233
:Yep.
234
:And they translate it to make it make
sense to the English reader, which is
235
:why you need translation committees to
help them wrestle with these things.
236
:It's really fascinating.
237
:What's interesting though, is
the LSB Legacy standard Bible
238
:chooses KISS and not do homage.
239
:So NSBE and L SB are, yeah.
240
:'cause they, they prefer the more literal.
241
:Rendering and even if it means
that you provoke some kind of
242
:confusion on the part of the reader.
243
:Yeah.
244
:It's just, it's funny, a lot of people
accuse the LSB of just being the Ns
245
:B with MacArthur's name on it and
translating it as Yahweh and slave.
246
:Yeah.
247
:Oh, mostly, probably.
248
:Yeah.
249
:Hey man, I love MacArthur,
so gimme his Bible.
250
:No, same for sure.
251
:Alright, Psalm 15.
252
:This Psalm establishes the type of person
permitted to enter into God's presence.
253
:And so that's the question that's asked
at the outset of the Psalm in verse one,
254
:oh Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent?
255
:Who shall.
256
:Dwell on your Holy Hill.
257
:A Psalm of David here.
258
:It would appear that this is
probably written after the city of
259
:David has been established after
Jerusalem has been established there.
260
:The hill language the idea of ascending
there and the answer here, right
261
:off the bat in verse two, he who
walks blamelessly and does what is
262
:right and speaks truth in his heart.
263
:Pierre, I'm curious to get your
thoughts but for me, I read that
264
:and I'm like, okay, so the answer
is who's qualified to do that?
265
:No one.
266
:I mean that it essentially cuts the
legs out from anybody to be able
267
:to say, yeah I walk blamelessly.
268
:Although David says from time to time
that he does reading this maybe through
269
:our New Testament lens, it seems like
this is setting up the conclusion
270
:to be like, I need Christ, I need
the righteousness in order to dwell.
271
:In the with the Lord on his Holy hill.
272
:I need the righteousness of Christ because
I can't measure up to these standards.
273
:I think there is a place for
that for that understanding.
274
:On the other hand, I do think that there
was a real concept of righteousness
275
:in the Old Testament mindset.
276
:Think about job I.
277
:He walked Blamelessly, he was upright.
278
:God himself called him blameless.
279
:Yeah.
280
:And so I think there is a real category
for this kind of person, and David
281
:intends for us to read it that way.
282
:In other words, that your
life has to convey a kind of
283
:integrity that God can say you.
284
:You live in a blameless way.
285
:So I would say yes, generally
speaking, it's true.
286
:We can't ever live up to the
standard by which God gives us.
287
:The standard is perfection.
288
:Matthew chapter seven, be perfect as your
father in heaven is perfect, however.
289
:With the caveat, there is a real category
for the righteous under the Old Testament
290
:law where he walked blamelessly and
consequently, his life looks like this.
291
:Not perfectly, just like Job's.
292
:Life was in a perfect reflection
of righteousness, but sincerely and
293
:evidently so I would say, I think
he intends for us to say, okay, let
294
:me measure my life against this.
295
:Where do I need to grow
to showcase my faith?
296
:Yeah.
297
:Yeah, I would agree with you there.
298
:It's, I don't mean to let us off
the hook of saying we need to
299
:pursue righteousness there to say I
can't do it, so I even bother him.
300
:Let's sin all the mors
that Grace May a bound.
301
:But I think there's, we do have the added
benefit as New Testament believers to
302
:read and understand a broader application
of some of these Old Testament passages
303
:through the lens of Christ there.
304
:And so sure, it's maybe a
both and, speaking of reading
305
:it with different eyes.
306
:Psalm 22 Psalm 22 is a Psalm of
David here, and you'll note right
307
:off the bat that there's some
familiar language in verse one.
308
:My God, why have you forsaken me?
309
:That is quoted by Jesus, by our Savior
as he's on the cross dying in our
310
:place for our sins as he's bearing the
full weight of God's wrath upon him.
311
:I think that's the moment of him
feeling forsaken by the Father There.
312
:Yet here it's uttered by David.
313
:And David didn't have a
concept of a crucified savior.
314
:David didn't know that Jesus, the
his long in the future descendant
315
:was going to die in such a fashion.
316
:And yet, it's fascinating to me
that as we read this psalm, we find
317
:such a clear depiction, it sounds at
least of the elements of crucifixion.
318
:Just the exhaustion, the.
319
:Thirst the the dogs encompass
me, pierced my hands and feet.
320
:Verse 16, they've pierced
my hands and feet.
321
:I can count all my bones.
322
:They staring gloat over me.
323
:They divide my car garments among them,
and for my clothing, they cast lots.
324
:We don't know of the specific situation
that David wrote this in, but it's
325
:certainly one in which he felt destitute.
326
:He felt afflicted, he felt surrounded by
the evil doers and was even suffering.
327
:It appears physically, although I think
this is where by the spirit, David wrote
328
:better than he knew as he anticipated the
death that Jesus would ultimately die.
329
:I don't think there was a point at which
David's hands and feet were pierced.
330
:In that same sense, David
is called a prophet.
331
:And so it would make sense that David
would write prophetic songs that would
332
:speak not only about himself in some way,
shape, or form, but also about the future
333
:Messiah who would come from his own loins.
334
:Another comment, I saw this recently,
in fact, this week I saw someone.
335
:Tweet or X or post, I saw someone
post that said because of Psalm
336
:22, I have a hard time singing the
song in Christ Alone where it says
337
:the Father turns his face away.
338
:He points to verse 24 where it says
that he has not despised or abhorred
339
:the affliction of the afflicted
that is Christ on the cross.
340
:He has not hidden his face from him,
but is heard when he cried to him.
341
:So would quick, I know this is we have
many more Psalms to look at, but quickly
342
:would you please talk about that?
343
:Is it true?
344
:Can we theologically sing
that the father turns his face
345
:away from Jesus on the cross?
346
:Man, we're getting into so
much there because even the
347
:language of his face right is an
anthropomorphism God doesn't, right.
348
:God doesn't have a face.
349
:He doesn't possess a face.
350
:Yeah.
351
:He's spirit.
352
:So even to sing anything about
the physical body of God, we
353
:could say he doesn't actually.
354
:Have a face, and so he doesn't
turn away in that sense.
355
:So if we understand that I think
charitably, we can read this from
356
:the point of view of the author of
that song, which I believe is Stuart
357
:Townend, if I'm Correct there.
358
:And one of the Gettys maybe both.
359
:Yeah.
360
:And that, to, to understand that there're
really trying to capture the wrath of
361
:God that, that there was such a shift in.
362
:The experience of the son to the
father, then that's how they put it
363
:into poetic language in this song.
364
:We're not reading this saying, okay
and Getti disagree with Psalm:
365
:So therefore we're gonna choose to believe
Song Town and getti and reject scripture.
366
:And I don't think they're
trying to undermine scripture.
367
:I think they're trying to help
us understand and feel the full
368
:weight of our sin in that song.
369
:I understand the sentiment and saying
I have difficulty reading that and I.
370
:I heard the same thing and thought about
that myself too, and I think about it,
371
:I think every time we sing that song,
but for me, I just choose to go back
372
:to going, they're just trying to help
us understand the weight of our sin.
373
:Yeah, and that's the difficulty with
poetry and song is that sometimes
374
:we're using symbols and analogies to
get the sense of what's happening.
375
:And obviously this does not allow
us to be sloppy, but it does allow
376
:us to give room for the Psalm to
sing what we're trying to convey.
377
:No one is saying that the song
itself is a systematic theology
378
:where we're parsing every nuance.
379
:We're singing with the spirit
of the song to say, okay, this
380
:generally happened and it is true.
381
:God poured his wrath upon the sun.
382
:There was some kind of, animosity
between the father and the son.
383
:The son became sin.
384
:He who knew no sin became sin
on our behalf so that we might
385
:become the righteousness of God.
386
:There's some kind of interaction
that's happening there that is
387
:not the normal harmony between the
father and the son's relationship.
388
:Yeah, I would agree with that.
389
:Psalm 23 probably the most.
390
:Famous of all the Psalms, perhaps
it's a one that, that a lot of
391
:people know, even unbelievers know.
392
:I've heard of this one.
393
:It's red time and time again.
394
:The Lord is my shepherd.
395
:I shall not want.
396
:Maybe you've got even got it memorized
and you can rattle it off here.
397
:But one thing that struck me this time
is a lot of these are, it's, this is
398
:what the Lord is doing for us or to us.
399
:He makes us lie down.
400
:He leads us.
401
:He restores us.
402
:He leads us in paths of righteousness.
403
:He sets the table in the
presence of my enemies.
404
:And we can think to
ourselves, man that's so good.
405
:I'm glad God does all that for us.
406
:But if we're gonna build on the
shepherd analogy, and I'm, hopefully,
407
:I'm not stretching this too far.
408
:That's for those that are part of
his flock, that's for those that are
409
:with him, that's not for the sheep.
410
:That string, the sheep, that string, he's
gonna go with the crook and the staff.
411
:And sometimes he might break his leg.
412
:Sometimes he had to break the leg.
413
:Yeah.
414
:To smack that sheep to the sheep to
submit, to bring him back so that Jesus
415
:is not going off to the string sheep.
416
:And taking that sheep to a
different stream and being
417
:like, let me lead you over here.
418
:Because no, he's gonna bring him
back to the flock and say what's
419
:good for the flock is good for you.
420
:That's right.
421
:And for us as believers, I think we
need to read Psalm 23 and understand,
422
:yes, we're passive in this.
423
:This is all stuff that God
is doing to us through Jesus.
424
:But this is as we are.
425
:In the flock as we are part of the body
of Christ, as we are being led by the
426
:Lord through our relationship with him.
427
:Yeah.
428
:Don't make the Lord come after you.
429
:I love Psalm 23, but make sure you're
keeping track with the step, keeping
430
:track with the shepherd there.
431
:Yeah.
432
:Yeah.
433
:Psalm 24 Psalm 24, Psalm of David, and
similar to Psalm 15, in, in that it asks
434
:the question in verse three, who shall
ascend the hill of the Lord who shall
435
:stand in his holy place This time it's
he who has clean hands and a pure heart
436
:and does not lift up his soul to what is
faults and does not swear Deceitfully.
437
:And the other refrain and point in this
is the anticipation of the coming of
438
:the king of glory and the celebration
that's gonna be a part of that as well.
439
:And so in in Psalm 24, similar themes
to Psalm 15, and he's trying to
440
:get us to understand, hey we need
to be those that are righteous.
441
:We need to be those that are,
like we were just saying in
442
:Psalm 23, part of the flock.
443
:And if we are there, then the arrival
of the king is gonna be joyful for us.
444
:If we're not, then back to, Psalm two.
445
:We're gonna be fearful of that
king 'cause that king's gonna
446
:come in judgment against us.
447
:What are the heads of the gates?
448
:What does that mean?
449
:Lift up your heads.
450
:Ou gates, O gates.
451
:Personification of the gates.
452
:I'm not sure what are
your thoughts on that?
453
:Oh I was sincere question, but I agree.
454
:I know it's a poetic description
of the gates opening to the king.
455
:Open the gates to the king,
is what they're trying to say.
456
:But sometimes I, stuff
like that tripped me up.
457
:For years I read that.
458
:I'm like, what does that mean?
459
:I never bothered to look at it.
460
:I've learned about it recently.
461
:Yeah.
462
:In the last few years,
but for a long time.
463
:What does that mean?
464
:Yeah.
465
:The word in Hebrew, I
get it's head or hair.
466
:Person.
467
:Pick your hair up.
468
:Yeah, put your hair, pick up your heads.
469
:Yeah.
470
:Yeah.
471
:So poetry, keep that in mind.
472
:Yeah.
473
:Yeah.
474
:A lot of personification in the Psalms.
475
:Yeah.
476
:They didn't actually have heads.
477
:These are not likes.
478
:That'd be cool though.
479
:I would love to put a head
on my gate, a lion's head.
480
:You should do that.
481
:You should get gargo oils
and put them on your house.
482
:Those are creepy, man.
483
:I don't, I'm just saying, why
would you put a demon on your house
484
:to protect it from it's demons?
485
:From other demons.
486
:Protect demons from demons.
487
:Whoa.
488
:Oh, that demon's scarier than I am.
489
:Yeah, that's true.
490
:Alright, Psalm 47.
491
:Thi this psalm is about fuel
for our worship and why God is
492
:worthy of our worship and praise.
493
:We're gonna see that a lot
in the coming days here.
494
:Just the command to sing
and clap and worship.
495
:Shout to God.
496
:These are commands.
497
:That we're being given in scripture.
498
:And I just noticed that more and more
reading the Psalms this year through is
499
:just how many times God is telling us,
Hey, you need to worship me in song.
500
:You need to, there needs to be an
outward expression of the joy that you
501
:feel over the things that I've done.
502
:And I think that the Old Testament,
they did that really well.
503
:I think we don't do that nearly as well.
504
:On Sunday, we talked in one of our
points about feasting with Jesus.
505
:And one of the, my suggestions
to you on that was.
506
:Creating a worship playlist, one that
you just resonate with that, that
507
:you're just, they're the songs that you
like to belt at the top of your lungs.
508
:And just living in that and
spending time with that and
509
:worshiping God and engaging in your
relationship with the Lord that way.
510
:We were on our way back from from
somewhere, I'm not gonna put it on a blast
511
:but we drove by somebody in the church
that we saw out at, it was later at night.
512
:So we drove, we saw the Compass
Bible Church sticker on the car.
513
:And so we drove by and we
were like, oh, who is that?
514
:And we looked over who this person.
515
:And Amanda text her and
was like, what's up?
516
:What, why, what are you out doing?
517
:And she was like, where?
518
:What was I doing when you drove by me?
519
:What were you doing when we drove by you?
520
:She was belting it out.
521
:She was singing at the top of her lung.
522
:Ah, that's okay.
523
:But that's good, right?
524
:Worshiping God, we're
commanded to do that.
525
:I think Psalm 47.
526
:Did she say she was worshiping?
527
:She, I don't know.
528
:She could have been doing Dr.
529
:Dre or something.
530
:We don't know.
531
:That's true.
532
:Knowing her, that'd be a little, that'd
be a little out, out of out of her ilk.
533
:Okay.
534
:Yeah.
535
:Yeah.
536
:So sing praises to God.
537
:Verse six, sing praises to our king.
538
:Sing praises.
539
:Why verse seven four.
540
:God is the king of all the Earth.
541
:Sing praises with the Psalm,
by the way, small sidebar.
542
:Something I've been doing as I've
been going through the Bible this
543
:year is noting in, in highlighting
I use a little box in my logos
544
:Bible software, the word for.
545
:Every time that it's
giving an explanation.
546
:It's such a powerful preposition
and it unlocks so much for us
547
:as we study the scriptures to,
to pay attention to that word.
548
:Four.
549
:'cause it's giving the reason.
550
:And so as he's saying, shout to
God, why verse two, four, the
551
:Lord most highs to be feared.
552
:He's a great king over all
the earth sing praises.
553
:Verse six, why verse seven, four.
554
:God is the king of the earth.
555
:Sing praises with a psalm.
556
:Alright.
557
:Psalm 68, our last Psalm four today.
558
:How many is this today?
559
:Man, we just 30.
560
:It is, it feels like it.
561
:We've done 130 of the 150 psalms today
and we only did 1, 1 33 on Monday.
562
:Yeah.
563
:And sometimes it's okay, surely
the last few are just short and
564
:then you come to this one, it's 35
verses what in the world's going on.
565
:I'm, I've written the editors already.
566
:Thank you.
567
:Yeah, here we go.
568
:It's David again.
569
:And Psalm 35, or Psalm 35, Psalm 68 is
again a praise psalm and it's one of great
570
:joy and perhaps written around the time
that he brought the arc back to Jerusalem.
571
:So we're thinking maybe it's
around that time of celebration.
572
:But I love verse five, that God has
called the father of the fatherless
573
:and a protector of the widows that
God cares about the vulnerable in
574
:our society, and we should too.
575
:And he is one that has not forgotten
them and has not lost sight of
576
:them or or lost track of them.
577
:I was reading something recently about
somebody who loses a loved one and how
578
:the time right after the funeral can
be some of the hardest times for them
579
:because everybody else has gone home
and eventually the meal train stops.
580
:And then they're just left in the void
that's created by the loss of that person.
581
:And a psalm like this is such a, an
encouraging reminder to us that God
582
:has not forgotten them, that God
is there in their sorrow, in their
583
:pain, and he's the God who loves
them in the midst of all of that too.
584
:Yeah.
585
:Anything else on, on Psalm 68 there?
586
:Nope.
587
:That's a good psalm.
588
:Okay.
589
:I like it.
590
:You should too.
591
:Awesome.
592
:Yeah.
593
:Alright hey, let's pray and then
we'll be done with with this episode.
594
:God, thanks for your word.
595
:Thanks for these psalms.
596
:I pray that we would be able to soak
them in as we, we read so many of them.
597
:I pray that we would not just
glaze over or walk away quickly
598
:going I'm familiar with Psalm 23,
so let's move on to the next one.
599
:God, make them fresh
for us and help us to.
600
:Walk away with nuggets that we can
think about and chew on and meditate
601
:on, and even think about how our
lives need to look different as a
602
:result of our time in your word.
603
:And so we thank you for this time.
604
:We thank you for your word.
605
:Thank you for the provision of founders
and prosper, and we look forward to great
606
:things in the coming years there as we
continue to serve you as your church.
607
:We pray this in Jesus' name.
