Speaker:

Hey, welcome to Tuesday it's Tuesday's

episode of the daily Bible podcast.

2

:

And maybe you're listening to us

from Germany, Germany, or Australia.

3

:

Guten tag.

4

:

Or, uh, Australia.

5

:

I do that.

6

:

Yeah.

7

:

That's that one?

8

:

Yeah.

9

:

Uh, yeah.

10

:

Or, uh, let's see.

11

:

We sell some, we sell one from Mexico.

12

:

So we're looking at people where,

where people are listening from and

13

:

granted you might be using a VPN.

14

:

And if you are, my guess is that you're

using a VPN still in local to the states.

15

:

Cause otherwise you're gonna slow

yourself down by a little bit by

16

:

going to these other countries.

17

:

So if you're listening from

Australia now, Who you are.

18

:

That'd be kind of fun.

19

:

Hi.

20

:

Hi.

21

:

Yeah, good day.

22

:

Yes.

23

:

Yeah.

24

:

I love your kids.

25

:

TV show bluey.

26

:

It's one of my favorites.

27

:

Yes.

28

:

It's a wholesome it's it's good.

29

:

It's funny.

30

:

Please do more of that.

31

:

Yeah.

32

:

By the way we were talking about

this, maybe you're a recent listener.

33

:

And if you go to our church,

you know who we are, but if you

34

:

don't go to our church, Welcome.

35

:

My name is PJ.

36

:

That's right.

37

:

And, uh, this is pastor Ron.

38

:

That's correct?

39

:

Yep.

40

:

And we are the pastors of

compass Bible church in.

41

:

We're not related.

42

:

We are not, it might

feel like it on occasion.

43

:

We're not blood-related you saw us.

44

:

We look exactly the same.

45

:

It's like we're twins.

46

:

Most people mistake.

47

:

Sometimes they call me pastor PJ.

48

:

It's crazy.

49

:

And I just, I just keep it going.

50

:

Yeah.

51

:

So, yes.

52

:

Yes.

53

:

You may buy that.

54

:

Absolutely.

55

:

Buy that.

56

:

Yeah.

57

:

But on the church's credit.

58

:

Sure, sure.

59

:

Let's do it.

60

:

Yeah.

61

:

New car, go for it.

62

:

Compass HB has a, has an ice

cream truck and trolleys.

63

:

And I thought what would be

appropriate for compass north

64

:

Texas is to have a yacht.

65

:

I was thinking, take it to the lake.

66

:

Meat smoker.

67

:

That well that too, we can have

the meat smoker on the yacht.

68

:

Okay.

69

:

And, you know, we make.

70

:

Evangelistic tool.

71

:

We're halfway to where country music song.

72

:

Yep.

73

:

Yeah.

74

:

Yeah, no, um, we're, we're glad

that you're joining with us.

75

:

If you're not familiar.

76

:

This is a ministry for

specifically for our church family.

77

:

Um, we do a daily Bible reading program

here, which is what we comment on

78

:

throughout the most, the majority

of our messages or our podcast here.

79

:

Uh, that's a chronological

reading plan and we encourage

80

:

our people to go through that.

81

:

And so this is a supplement to that.

82

:

You're welcome to join in with us,

but if you're ever wondering, man,

83

:

it sounds like they're talking

about really specific situations.

84

:

That's where our hearts hearts are at.

85

:

And that's where our mind is,

is really with our people.

86

:

Um, and that's why we're, we're

primarily doing this, but we're glad

87

:

to have you, no matter where you're

at and wherever you're listening.

88

:

Yeah.

89

:

From the counseling office

directly to the podcast.

90

:

Every time we meet with people.

91

:

That's gonna be good.

92

:

But then the podcast.

93

:

And let's dock them.

94

:

Um, doc docs, docs.

95

:

Yeah.

96

:

Yeah.

97

:

At the same time.

98

:

Doc's and here's where they live.

99

:

Yeah, just kidding.

100

:

We won't do that.

101

:

We never do that.

102

:

Never, ever do that.

103

:

No, but, but that is interesting

because, because counseling

104

:

doesn't form our preaching.

105

:

Um, it informs everything that we'll

do in terms of our ministry, like, oh,

106

:

what's going to make the most sense.

107

:

Yep.

108

:

Yep.

109

:

And so we're never going to stand

up and be like, so I was meeting

110

:

with this person the other day

and even specific situations.

111

:

We're going to be careful when we're

in the pulpit, not to give details

112

:

of a situation that you come in and

meet with us for counseling, but yeah.

113

:

Part of the pastor's job, which we've been

talking about recently is, is to know the

114

:

flock, to shepherd the flock, to bring the

word of God, to bear on the life of the

115

:

flock through application and sometimes

pointed application in preaching.

116

:

Yeah.

117

:

And knowing what the struggles are, is one

of the things that a pastor needs to do.

118

:

And that's something that, that

counseling gives us a glimpse into,

119

:

because if it, if there's one thing.

120

:

There's one thing that is clear when

you spend any amount of time counseling.

121

:

It's that?

122

:

The sins that come across your desk

in the counseling office are sins that

123

:

are common to more than just one or two

people that come in and meet with you.

124

:

Like every situation may be unique,

but the underlying struggle is

125

:

not unique to that one family.

126

:

Right?

127

:

So if there's one person, this one

couple is struggling with this,

128

:

chances are there's more people in the

church that are struggling with it.

129

:

Absolutely.

130

:

So, yeah.

131

:

So if you're ever sitting out

there going, man, it sounds like

132

:

he's preaching in my situation.

133

:

Exactly.

134

:

I might be, might be.

135

:

We're not, we're not going to

give you credit for it though.

136

:

Don't worry.

137

:

And we're not going to

sell you out either.

138

:

That's for sure.

139

:

We're going to protect

the confidentiality.

140

:

Now that was rebellious.

141

:

Puking Bryce Clancy the other day.

142

:

Whoa.

143

:

Well, we're just calling out names now.

144

:

Okay.

145

:

Well, we call that his name before.

146

:

He was a safe name.

147

:

All right.

148

:

He can handle it.

149

:

Well, Hey, let's jump into

the daily Bible podcast.

150

:

Text for this day.

151

:

Um, and, uh, Sorry.

152

:

I just got a text from my wife.

153

:

She said three 80 is the worst.

154

:

It is the worst.

155

:

I don't like three 80 at all.

156

:

It's horrible.

157

:

It.

158

:

Is three 80 the road.

159

:

The road road, one of our

favorite thoroughfares.

160

:

It's not it's it's like four

or five with stoplights.

161

:

It's it's like the four or five minutes.

162

:

It's like the 4 0 5.

163

:

I'm back here.

164

:

So I don't think that's a thing

anymore, but that's a California thing.

165

:

and then here three 80.

166

:

Hey, Psalm 22.

167

:

Yeah.

168

:

I mean, I didn't say.

169

:

There's a to get you're throwing me off.

170

:

No, but the reason I said

Psalm 22 is because this is

171

:

essentially Psalm 18 in real time.

172

:

Okay.

173

:

And so David's writing this song.

174

:

To praise God for the deliverance

that he had experienced in the

175

:

victories that he'd enjoyed.

176

:

And so as David is reflecting on his

life, as you're reflecting on God's

177

:

goodness to him, he's, he's praising God

and in worshiping for that, him for this.

178

:

So.

179

:

There's a lot of the same parallels there.

180

:

Praise and God is the rock.

181

:

The fortress that th th the deliver

that the one that, that delivers

182

:

from distress and distress for

seven, I called upon the Lord.

183

:

My God.

184

:

Um, God shows up as he doesn't Psalm

18, the earth reels and rocks and

185

:

smoke went out from his nostrils.

186

:

The Lord shows up as the vengeful.

187

:

Uh, God, exactly justice for his people.

188

:

And so David is praising God,

and that's what's going on here.

189

:

In second, Samuel 22, at least in

the majority of second, Samuel 22.

190

:

Here is David is praising God.

191

:

This is Psalm 18.

192

:

Again in real time in David's life.

193

:

I really love verse 31, the gut, this God.

194

:

His way is perfect.

195

:

The word of the Lord proves true.

196

:

He is a shield for all those

who take refuge in him.

197

:

And the way that we take refuge

in him is by submitting to his

198

:

word and applying his word.

199

:

That's, that's why you're doing

this podcast and doing this

200

:

Bible reading program because

this God, his way is perfect.

201

:

Yeah.

202

:

Yeah.

203

:

I also like verse 26 with a merciful.

204

:

You show yourself merciful

with the blameless.

205

:

You show yourself blameless with

the purified you deal purely.

206

:

Just a reminder of how important it

is for us to pursue these things,

207

:

that there is reward, even in the

way that we experienced the character

208

:

of God as we mirror the character

of God in the life that we live.

209

:

That's right.

210

:

Second Samuel chapter 23, then.

211

:

Uh, as we jump in here verses one

through seven, these are some of David's

212

:

final words and they take the form of

what is called an Oracle or a message.

213

:

If you want to put it that way.

214

:

Uh, the Oracle of David, the

son of Jesse, the Oracle, the

215

:

man who was raised on high.

216

:

And so David is acknowledging that God

had brought him in, put him in that place.

217

:

That, that it wasn't that he took it

for himself, but he was put there.

218

:

He was appointed for this.

219

:

Uh, notice verse two, the

spirit of the Lord speaks by me.

220

:

And so here we see scripture's own

testimony to its divine origins

221

:

here through the pen of David, that

David is saying what I'm writing.

222

:

Is not just my words, but the

spirit is speaking through me.

223

:

That is not something that I'm going to

say or that I'm going to write when I'm

224

:

writing my sermons for Sunday morning.

225

:

I'm not going to say the

spirit is speaking through me.

226

:

It.

227

:

At this level now, does the spirit

speak to us through a sermon?

228

:

Yes, but.

229

:

So in a different category

than what David's talks now.

230

:

Infallible in errand inspired word of God.

231

:

Right.

232

:

Exactly.

233

:

Exactly.

234

:

It's it's more.

235

:

Kind of once removed in that sense, right?

236

:

Yeah.

237

:

Verse five, uh, real quick, if I

can for does not my house stand.

238

:

So with God, for, he has made

with me an everlasting covenant

239

:

in order, all things secure.

240

:

I made a note here.

241

:

This is a dispensationalism alert for me,

because again, this is the Davidic one.

242

:

Yeah.

243

:

Yep.

244

:

The Davidic covenant, which is a

promise that, that eventually there

245

:

would be one that would reign and rule

on the throne of David without end.

246

:

And this is an everlasting covenant.

247

:

It's not going to be usurped.

248

:

It's not going to be replaced.

249

:

And so we believe that the ultimate

fulfillment of that will be Christ who

250

:

will set up and establish his throne,

literal throne, not a metaphorical

251

:

throne, but a literal throne here

on earth for a thousand years while

252

:

he reigns from the, from Jerusalem

during the millennial kingdom.

253

:

Second half of verses three and four.

254

:

Uh, I see the result of godly leadership.

255

:

I love this.

256

:

David says when one rules justly over

men ruling in the fear of God, he

257

:

dawns on them like the morning light.

258

:

Um, like the sun shining forth on a

cloud this morning, like rain that

259

:

makes grass to sprout from the earth.

260

:

Good and godly leadership

is reviving, restoring, and

261

:

ultimately a benefit to the people.

262

:

Yeah.

263

:

That's the kind of pastor

you should look for.

264

:

Ultimately, you're going to find.

265

:

Going to find that in Christ.

266

:

Uh, but yeah, that's, that's an

encouraging and inspiring for me.

267

:

Yeah.

268

:

Yeah.

269

:

Versus eight.

270

:

Then through 39, we get a, another

list of David's mighty men.

271

:

This is similar to first

Chronicles, 11, 10 through 41.

272

:

Uh, there's a few names in

here that are worth noting.

273

:

Abishai shows up here as one that we've

read about Binya is going to be somebody

274

:

that's significant to David and then

ultimately significant to Solomon.

275

:

And by the way, dude,

But Naya was a beast man.

276

:

He was not a guy to trifle with.

277

:

He was a man's man.

278

:

Yeah.

279

:

Jumping down and killing a lion.

280

:

Um, In a snowy.

281

:

Pitt.

282

:

It w w who was the guy that always

used to come out to AVN Dan Newman?

283

:

That's the one who he

preached that very sermon.

284

:

Yeah.

285

:

He talked about this guy and I think

it was, do, do hard gospel things.

286

:

Yeah.

287

:

And he pointed at Vinaya.

288

:

Yeah.

289

:

So benign as a guy that that is, uh, is

worth, uh, imitation is worth imitation.

290

:

If you come across a pit with a

lion in it and it's snowing, you

291

:

know what God wants you to do?

292

:

Is that the way you just

let's say apply the text?

293

:

It's a way I'm applying.

294

:

There to watch out then, then a verse 39.

295

:

Notice the final name in the list.

296

:

This is interesting that.

297

:

Th that he could have been

anywhere else in this list, but

298

:

he's the final name in the list.

299

:

And I think that's significant.

300

:

And I don't know if this is David's guilt.

301

:

Still, or I don't know what

this may be, but, but David.

302

:

Ends with him, which I think is

even a place of honor for him.

303

:

And that is the name Uriah, the

Hittite who shows up there in verse 37.

304

:

Is this date?

305

:

I guess that's an interesting

insight because I thought that this

306

:

is the narrator of second Samuel

completing the, the information here.

307

:

Fair.

308

:

So I, you don't know if this is

David's guilt more than it is.

309

:

You're saying by the way, this dark

shadow of a cloud is still here.

310

:

This is part of David's lineage.

311

:

Yeah.

312

:

I guess this is not David's speech.

313

:

Yeah.

314

:

Yeah.

315

:

I saw this as just a, the

narrator completing the story.

316

:

And then, then we have the last

chapter of second Samuel, which

317

:

we don't get to you today.

318

:

Not today.

319

:

Not today, Satan.

320

:

I mean.

321

:

Sorry.

322

:

You're not Satan.

323

:

You can call me rod.

324

:

Yeah.

325

:

Rod's fine.

326

:

Yeah.

327

:

Okay, let's move on.

328

:

Um, yeah.

329

:

Psalm 57.

330

:

By the way, if you're going to

blanket each, call him Satan.

331

:

It's a phrase, it's a song.

332

:

It's a phrase it's never heard

of this phrase before guys.

333

:

It just between you and me.

334

:

Just between us.

335

:

I don't know, he's

talking about the worst.

336

:

This parachute is a knapsack.

337

:

All right.

338

:

So I'm 57.

339

:

Uh, this Psalm is written by

David while running for his life.

340

:

It says here from Saul.

341

:

Um, so that's interesting

because we're back.

342

:

Dealing with Saul and we're

at the end of David's life.

343

:

So it's interesting that the

editors of our plan, our reading

344

:

plan decided to put this here.

345

:

Um, But in the Psalm similar events

again, verses one through six David's

346

:

petitioned to God for protection,

and then verses seven through 11.

347

:

Uh, David praises God here.

348

:

And so we don't know the exact situation.

349

:

There were many times that David was in

a cave running for his life from Saul.

350

:

Is that the title implies?

351

:

Or states.

352

:

Uh, but we don't know if this was

when he cut off the edge of his robe

353

:

or if this was a different time that

he was fleeing for, from his life.

354

:

Fleeing from Saul for his life.

355

:

Um, but he's, he's trusting in the

Lord, nonetheless, through this.

356

:

Yeah, I really appreciate him.

357

:

Verse eight, sing out.

358

:

I will awaken the dot.

359

:

Now be mindful of your neighbors.

360

:

Maybe don't wake up your family too

early, but with your, with your singing.

361

:

Uh, but David was, he was so excited about

his love for God that it didn't matter.

362

:

He was going to wake up the Dawn.

363

:

He was going to celebrate the morning

with the Lord again, coming back to.

364

:

When he spent time with the Lord, clearly

David prioritizes the morning time.

365

:

Um, and I think that's an important

feature of, of, of our lives, but

366

:

let me add another element to this.

367

:

I think.

368

:

I don't know, man.

369

:

And sometimes in some

churches it's easy to be.

370

:

Self-conscious about your worship of

God to say I don't, I don't want to

371

:

draw attention to myself, you know?

372

:

If I lift up my hands in a

certain way, or if I sing.

373

:

A certain volume people might

look at me instead of looking

374

:

at the Lord, so to speak.

375

:

I think David just does not care.

376

:

Yep.

377

:

He was just like, I'm worshiping God.

378

:

And if you're, if you're
