Hey, welcome to Friday's episode of the daily Bible podcast.

2

You made it through another week.

3

Congratulations.

4

Yeah.

5

Well, I mean, I guess

technically they're still today.

6

They're still Friday.

7

So you still got to make it all

the way through Friday, but.

8

Aside from that you made

it through another week.

9

Because congratulations.

10

Yeah.

11

So that's a, that's something, I guess.

12

We've

13

Rod: got rain right now.

14

That's kind of cool.

15

It's supposed to rain forever.

16

I don't know about that,

but I'm excited about it.

17

I enjoy it.

18

It's been fun.

19

I have I've really, I mean, I

was, I walked outside with my

20

umbrella and it wasn't so bad

that my umbrella was blown away.

21

So I enjoyed that.

22

I liked the variety of weather here.

23

Often it's it's I don't know.

24

I don't like it because it gets

the car so dirty so quickly.

25

That's one thing I miss about California.

26

You could take the car to a carwash.

27

It would be clean for like

three or four, six weeks even.

28

Do pretty well.

29

Uh, but here you can get a

carwash and, and you've got

30

about a week on it probably.

31

Because even if there, if there's

no rain, you still have a lot of

32

debris and dust on the roads, which

picks up on the car pretty quickly.

33

PJ: Have you noticed that.

34

Yeah.

35

I've never been a big car wash guy.

36

Like I appreciated a clean car,

but it's, it's not something

37

that bothers me when it's not.

38

Rod: So yeah, God is sanctifying

me by making me care less

39

about it, but I still care.

40

I'm trying, I'm trying my best to

just like, it's just, it's just

41

dirty, but you know, here's the thing.

42

So when you're backing up and the

backup cam is all fuzzy and dirty

43

because of the debris and the

colicy, this is why you want a clean

44

car, scrub a wipe and wipe it off.

45

I could, but then it's like,

it's really dirty it's cake and

46

nasty whatever steps on the road.

47

So yeah, I would prefer

just to have a clean car.

48

I like having clean

49

PJ: inside, clean outside.

50

You also live back in the country.

51

So you have to drive on that dirt road

to get back to your house and everything.

52

And I don't have any dirt roads

that road off of a outer loop.

53

Isn't that kind of unpaved.

54

It's not a dirt road.

55

Is it not

56

Rod: it's paved.

57

It's, it's poorly paved.

58

They're going to repave it this summer.

59

Uh, but it's not dirt road.

60

Okay.

61

It's.

62

Fair enough.

63

It's very much paved.

64

PJ: That's

65

Rod: fair.

66

PJ: Yeah, we were talking about

this before we hit play on

67

this record on this podcast.

68

Whether it's kind of a subjective thing.

69

Like I like the, the rain,

I like the cold weather.

70

I like that overcast days.

71

You were talking about missing California

and the sunny days all the time.

72

And I know a lot of people like that.

73

It's not my bag.

74

Rod: I don't like the

hot days here or there.

75

I like them.

76

The moderate days where you could just,

you could plan on being outside with

77

a relative high degree of accuracy,

California, you could make plans to do

78

almost anything outdoors and you would

be, you would be rewarded in your, in

79

your diligent planning because there

would always be decent weather here.

80

You can't do that.

81

You can't assume.

82

And I was.

83

I've debated putting things on the

calendar outdoors for that very reason.

84

Like, what are the historical

trends for this month?

85

This time, you know, this time of

year what's, what's the expectation.

86

And it's hard to know because the

weather can be so erratic here.

87

PJ: Yeah.

88

Aye.

89

In that that's true.

90

I, my frustration in

California was always do.

91

When, when Thanksgiving feels

like a day in may, 75 degrees.

92

It's blue skies.

93

It's wrong is what it is.

94

What's it supposed

95

Rod: to be like, and

you're in your opinion,

96

PJ: it's supposed to be

fall in your strongly worded

97

Rod: opinion.

98

What's it supposed to be?

99

PJ: Christmas to the

air supposed to be fall.

100

It's supposed to be cool.

101

Like that here either crisp.

102

Crispness.

103

Yeah.

104

Like a crisp.

105

Feeling in the air, jumping

into Christmas already.

106

Yeah.

107

And same thing with Christmas.

108

Christmas needs to be cold.

109

I Palm trees and Christmas

don't belong together.

110

And.

111

But that goes to the subjectivity

because that's what I grew up with.

112

I grew up out here.

113

Grew up with cold weather.

114

I didn't grow up with Palm trees.

115

So Palm trees and Christmas to me

are like, I mean, what are you doing?

116

You're ruining everything.

117

Wow.

118

Well, just throw it all away.

119

Wow.

120

Rod: Yeah, I can.

121

I'm.

122

I'm adaptable.

123

I don't have a, I don't

have a dog in a fight.

124

I like, I like good weather, but I also

like the crispy, the crispiness you speak

125

of the Krispy Kremes I love crispy cream.

126

Actually.

127

This is one of my favorite donuts, but

I also like the crispiness in the air.

128

That is it's enjoyable.

129

Yeah.

130

Speaking of donuts, the bagel

place, right in our parking lot

131

here opened up the Einstein bagels.

132

Mark's favorite bagel spot.

133

Favorite.

134

PJ: I tried

135

Rod: one of their bagels today,

just because I had to, I was

136

like, oh, They're opening week.

137

I got to give it a shot.

138

PJ: Yeah.

139

Rod: And I'd say a solid 6, 5, 6, 4,

140

PJ: 5,

141

Rod: 6, 5 out of 10.

142

I only go get it again.

143

I'll probably not get their food

again, but I did enjoy going

144

and they have no place to sit.

145

There's no, where to sit in there.

146

There's nowhere to sit really, truly.

147

I know I was shocked and appalled.

148

I almost threw my food

against the wall, dude.

149

I was about to say, we should have

our password meeting there tomorrow.

150

Nope.

151

There's nowhere to sit rejected.

152

You know what here's,

what you can do though.

153

You can walk over there, get your food and

come back to our office and sit in here.

154

It's basically the same thing.

155

PJ: Yeah.

156

Yeah.

157

No.

158

Rod: Yup.

159

You're not feeling that

160

PJ: there's a, did you see the

Dutch bros is going to be coming

161

in down on the corner here?

162

Oh, no.

163

Oh, that's fantastic.

164

Dutch bros in the corner.

165

The kind of the triangle is down past

the gas station, everything down there.

166

That we're like, oh,

167

Rod: okay.

168

That's a for.

169

PJ: That's a walk.

170

Rod: It's walkable though.

171

It's walkable on a, on a moderate day.

172

Yes.

173

Which is like what?

174

Uh, one fourth of the year at

175

PJ: Texas.

176

More than that

177

Rod: you think so?

178

Well, I mean, it's.

179

PJ: Again, it's a quarter of the year.

180

It's objective.

181

Rod: Okay.

182

I'm thinking really, really

cold and really, really hot.

183

PJ: Well, yeah.

184

Fair.

185

Our boy, Matt, Matt Bates.

186

He's a big, desperate fan.

187

Yeah, he is.

188

Yeah.

189

They give him free stuff all

the time because he represents

190

them on, on social media.

191

He's always posting about them.

192

Oh, wow.

193

He's basically sponsored by

sponsored by Dutch brothers.

194

Yep.

195

Rod: Yeah.

196

I've always wanted to be

sponsored by Crossway.

197

Crossway you hearing.

198

Are you hearing what we're saying here?

199

I don't think they tune in, they tune in.

200

I don't want to tag them in our next and

our next episode, I'm going to tag them.

201

They've got this new, I

don't know how many bikes.

202

There's like six, maybe five

or six different, uh, journal

203

Bibles, their journal Bibles.

204

But there is a, there's

a brand called journal.

205

It's a journal Bible.

206

Anyway, they, they have, uh, a new

series, a new journal Bible that is spiral

207

bound, hardcover, and it looks great.

208

It looks, I mean, it looks beautiful.

209

It's like 140 bucks.

210

I've

211

PJ: heard about this, actually.

212

Yeah.

213

Rod: Yeah, it looks really pretty.

214

I was tempted, but no, I don't need that.

215

I got my Bible, which is

basically the same idea.

216

But, and it's only one volume,

which I really appreciate.

217

PJ: That'd be a great gift for somebody.

218

If you were thinking about giving somebody

a, a Bible or something like that,

219

a journal Bible with a spiral bound.

220

That's super cool.

221

Rod: Well, it's spiraled

down in fi I think five.

222

Yeah, maybe six different books.

223

If you're going to take it to

church, you would have to make

224

sure you take it in the right one,

because it's not like just taking

225

one where you have your whole Bible.

226

And then when your pastor cross-references

turn to Genesis chapter four,

227

pull out an entirely new notebook.

228

You have to bring all five volumes.

229

You have to bring all of them and

just say, okay, well, so it's not,

230

it's, it's something very niche.

231

Yeah, I don't see most people wanting it.

232

That's fair.

233

PJ: That's fair.

234

All right.

235

Well, Hey, speaking of

the Bible, let's jump in.

236

We have a second team of 16.

237

Through 18.

238

16 through 18 today.

239

Um, second team of 16 things get worse

before they get, I guess, better.

240

They don't really get a whole

lot better for David between

241

now and the end of his life.

242

But.

243

Right now things are bad because

remember Absalom is there.

244

Absalom's in Jerusalem things.

245

Aren't going well.

246

David's on the run from his son.

247

Uh, you got to wonder if he

pushed back from time to time and

248

said, man, how did I get here?

249

And then remembered, oh yeah,

the whole Bathsheba thing.

250

That's how I got here.

251

Uh, but things are going to

get bit worse before they get

252

better verses one through four.

253

Uh, you've got Zeba show up.

254

And I remember Zeba was the, was a servant

of Saul and was charged with the care of

255

one of Jonathan's sons and David had given

much honor and position and prestige

256

as well as, uh, land in inheritance.

257

And so Zyppah shows up

and says, David I'm here.

258

I'm with you.

259

I'm all in for you.

260

Uh, Mafibisha said he was going to stay

because this was his opportunity to,

261

to regain the land that he lost in.

262

And he wants to kind of ally with

your enemy because of, of how

263

you ended up, uh, taking Saul's

rightful place on the throne.

264

I mean, I think zebra is a slime ball

is what I think in this, even though the

265

text is not abundantly clear, doesn't.

266

Tell us, I think zip is a slime ball.

267

That's my biggest.

268

Yeah.

269

Because when you get back, when

David arrives back Mafibisha is

270

there and he's like, Hey, look, I,

I wanted to count like I couldn't

271

and what we know of my Fibbage at.

272

In his crippled state.

273

And we know that, say

274

Rod: that today, by the way.

275

But

276

PJ: what we know.

277

And this crippled state

he wasn't able to, to go.

278

And so here, you've got Zibo

who is one of Saul's guys.

279

Who I think is showing his true

colors and he's making a power

280

play there towards the end.

281

And, and even it's, it's a little bit

like the Solomon situation down the

282

road when David does get back in, in

devise, the inheritance Muffet, the.

283

Is it, his response is David.

284

I'm just glad you're back, whatever

you're going to do with the inheritance

285

and everything else like that.

286

I'm just glad you're back.

287

Yeah.

288

Zeba seems to be the guy that's making the

power plane that the, like I said, I think

289

zebra is a slime ball is what I think.

290

Rod: I would agree.

291

Uh, for those same reasons, actually,

I was thinking about this because

292

the text doesn't tell us exactly why,

but I do agree that it seems to be.

293

That Ziva is an opportunist.

294

And he's trying to get

the land back that he had.

295

He's trying to Curry his favor.

296

David's favor.

297

Um, and because zebra doesn't

actually physically possess the

298

ability to go and do the thing.

299

It makes sense to me that he would be,

uh, he would stay back and, and the, the

300

Solomon connection to dividing the baby.

301

Um, I thought about that same

text, I thought, okay, this

302

makes sense because zebra Zeba.

303

Uh, once that clearly that finish,

that doesn't really care much.

304

I think that's a good sign.

305

I think you're right.

306

Yeah.

307

Even though the text

doesn't tell us for sure.

308

I think, I think that's a

good line of reasoning there.

309

PJ: Yeah.

310

Yeah.

311

Well, Hey then in, uh, in verses

five to 14, David here demonstrates a

312

restraint that he lacked with neighbors.

313

Um, as he prevents anyone from

attacking this guy, shimmy, shimmy

314

out, comes out and starts cursing

David and throwing rocks at David

315

as David's on the run for his life.

316

This is just humiliation and

shame upon humiliation and shame.

317

And.

318

Uh, David has even encouraged by his men.

319

Hey, let us go in and write the wrong.

320

Let us go.

321

Shut this guy up.

322

And David says no, because it may be that

that God has ordained that he do this.

323

And if God has ordained that

he do this, then we don't need

324

to raise our hand against him.

325

If not, then God will deal with him.

326

Uh, in his due time and, and shimmy,

I will get his down the road later on.

327

But for, for now, David demonstrates

a again, a restraint that he

328

lacked with Neval cause Neval he

was ready to go and just wipe out

329

every man in enables household.

330

I don't think this is the same

pacivity that we saw with David

331

and Amnon or David and Absalom.

332

I think this is a.

333

A true humility that we see in David

here saying, look, it may be that this

334

is all part of God's plan and he's

using Shamia in the course of that.

335

I find it odd.

336

Aye.

337

It's

338

Rod: odd.

339

David was so protective over

king Saul as the anointed one.

340

And yet when it comes to him as, and I

guess I would imagine that a respect for

341

the office, he would feel very similarly

zealous, but it doesn't show that.

342

So I'm more confused by it.

343

I think you're right.

344

I think it's a posture of humility.

345

But I'm confused by the response.

346

PJ: Yeah.

347

I again, I think.

348

W not thinking we know this is all still

fallout from his sin with Bathsheba.

349

I think from that point on you see a

broken man in David in so many ways.

350

Um, and so I don't think he, he.

351

And probably counts himself worthy.

352

Of even what the honor that

he attributed saw and to your

353

point, yeah, the, the office.

354

But right now, he's not sure he's going

to continue to remain in that office.

355

He's running, he's gone.

356

He's abandoned the throne.

357

And so he's maybe thinking, okay, God

may be taking the throne away from me.

358

At this point.

359

Um, so.

360

I think there's question whether

or not he even considered himself

361

to be the Lord's anointed still.

362

At this point as he's fleeing Jerusalem.

363

Interesting.

364

Absolutely.

365

Jerusalem.

366

And in verses 15 through 23, uh,

takes his father's concubines and

367

in a lewd act, we'll just leave it

that way of, of complete depravity.

368

He fulfills part of Nathan's

prophecy from second Samuel.

369

Uh, chapter 12, verses 11 through 12,

when he talked about this was going

370

to be done in the sight of all Israel.

371

And so absolutely just

humiliates his father.

372

To, to no end.

373

And it shows zero respect for his dad.

374

Uh, in, in any way, shape or form.

375

The only positive note in chapter 16.

376

That we can really point to is who shy.

377

It does manage to embed

himself in the King's council.

378

He does manage to get that spot on the.

379

With the King's court and that's

gonna, that's gonna bear fruit, so

380

to speak in the next chapter for us.

381

And you'll note too.

382

Rod: It's actually a hit the

fellows council that causes

383

Absalom to do the dirty deed.

384

Which is interesting

because, uh, I hit the fill.

385

Is the one who's seen to have the kind

of gravitas with his counsel that people

386

receive that as being, this is God's

will we should do what he says, right.

387

And so this is setting up the big fall.

388

Of course, you know, the, you know,

the punchline to this story, but just

389

notice here I hit the filter, the one

who's behind this and whether or not

390

he knew about the, the prophecy that

Nathan gives, gave her, gave her not.

391

Uh, he's still the one behind this,

which is again, a chin scratcher.

392

PJ: Yeah.

393

Yeah.

394

Well, it in.

395

Because of that chapter 17 is so

unexpected because I hit the fellow,

396

goes then to, to Absalom and says to

Absalom strike while the iron's hot.

397

David's on the run.

398

Now's the time to go.

399

Now's the time to wipe them out,

put an end to this and you can

400

finally, you can have the throne

without any question anymore.

401

And this is good counsel.

402

This is good strategy.

403

In fact, Absolutely should

have listened to a hit to fill.

404

In, in this regard and if he had then

mint, I don't think David's there anymore,

405

but because of God's sovereign plan.

406

Got a place who shy in the courts.

407

And I think we see even more of God's

sovereign plan here because listen,

408

Absalom had zero reason whatsoever

to listen to Hershey zero reason

409

whatsoever to doubt a hit the fill.

410

And yet, because of God's purpose to.

411

Uh, hit the fellows council, which

is what it says in the text here.

412

Absolutely listens to who shy.

413

And takes.

414

advice over.

415

I hit the fellows advice

and, uh, and so th that the.

416

At least is unexpected.

417

If not full on shocking.

418

That things go the way they go here.

419

Rod: Yeah.

420

Who should I as counsel?

421

I mean, it's, it's decent and that he

offers a lot of speculation, like this

422

could happen and this could happen.

423

And it's, I guess it's good.

424

Uh, but in my, in my estimation, it

doesn't seem to be as convincing.

425

And certainly it wouldn't have been in

any reasonable observer, but God intended

426

for him to receive the counsel, which

again, shows that God's operating behind

427

the scenes in every scene and all of

life to accomplish his good purposes.

428

Now how that corresponds to the

human responsibility to make

429

the choices and do what we do.

430

Harder harder to know, but

clearly God is behind every

431

single thing that's happening.

432

PJ: Yep.

433

Yeah, verses 15 through 22, then in

accordance with the plan that David

434

had hatched with, who shy, who shy.

435

Uh, sends the sons of say, doc, Uh,

to, to tell David what was going on and

436

in to inform David along the way they

have to avoid capture by Absalom's men.

437

And they do by being hidden there.

438

And then they're there.

439

Let go and they get to David.

440

They tell him what's going on.

441

Um, and then flashback

to the King's court.

442

There there's a vote of no confidence

from the king for him to fill.

443

And a hit the fel ends up in the end

of this chapter, putting his affairs

444

in order and taking his own life.

445

Why.

446

Um, I think out of shame.

447

The one thing that we

run into a lot in the.

448

Biblical culture, especially the

old Testament culture was, it was

449

a shame and honor culture, and

that's not what we live in anymore.

450

Um, but the, the concept of one's

reputation, the concept of one's

451

name, the concept of one's honor was.

452

In, in so many ways, everything

that they had, and we still see

453

that in some cultures today.

454

As well, especially in some of the

Asian cultures, there's a big shame

455

and honor element to the culture.

456

And I think I hit the Phil had been

humiliated to the degree that he was.

457

Degraded in his own eyes and

considered himself to be cast aside

458

in the sight of the king as well.

459

And so he in despair goes in and takes

his life because he's the one thing

460

that he had to offer, which was council.

461

Was now set aside in, in, in a shocking.

462

On founded reasons.

463

The king sides with this guy who

shine instead of siding with him.

464

And so I think his legs been cut out

from under him and he has nothing left.

465

So to speak to live for in that

regard, it seems overly dramatic.

466

I mean, yes,

467

Rod: I will.

468

Yeah, a hundred percent.

469

That's a different culture.

470

I wonder.

471

Maybe, maybe it's a combination of

things that on top of the fact that

472

he saw the writing on the wall.

473

He knows what's going to happen.

474

He knows that David is

going to be the king.

475

It's going to be re-installed.

476

It's hard to know exactly what's

behind this, but certainly

477

there's some mixture of a cultural

expectation that was violated.

478

Maybe a, an understanding that,

okay, clearly God has to wear.

479

Where did my good counsel.

480

I know that that was the right move.

481

And now God's going to destroy

Absalom through the means of who

482

shies counsel, who knows what it

was ultimately, but he's, he's

483

gone because of that very thing.

484

Yeah, God's moving

pieces on the chessboard.

485

PJ: Yup.

486

Yep.

487

Well, chapter 18, David sends out

his forces to meet those of Absalom,

488

but stays back at the behest of

his men who consider his life.

489

Hey, You're too valuable

to be lost in battle.

490

Um, verses five to eight,

David wins handily.

491

Uh, possessing a greater military prowess

and strategy that led to mass confusion

492

and chaos from his enemies who even

fled into the forest in their panic.

493

So there's the, there's the wisdom

and strategy of David plus there's

494

just God's sovereignty here.

495

Um, in this battle and, and

David and his men win easily.

496

Uh, back in verse five, though,

David had made it clear to everyone

497

that Absalom was to be spared.

498

If, if Absalom was captured

alive than he was to be spared.

499

And dealt with gently.

500

And so you see some of David's

affection for his son, his heart

501

for his son is still present there.

502

Uh, but Joe app was told, Hey,

you know what Absalom he is in

503

this weird situation, suspended

helplessly, uh, from this tree branch.

504

Some believe that it was his hair

that was caught in the tree branch.

505

Others believe that it was

like a, a spear, like a fork.

506

And his head was caught

in there either way.

507

He's suspended.

508

He can't get himself down from

the tree branch and Joe AB.

509

Uh, ends up going and taking three

Spears and driving these three

510

Spears into the King's son, and

then buries him in an undignified

511

grave in the middle of the forest.

512

Um, news, the victory reaches David in

the rest of the chapter, but his greatest

513

concern was a concern for Absalom.

514

And when he learns that

abs on that fallen, David.

515

Himself falls into a state

of despair and great sorrow.

516

So it's a, it's a win, but

it's a loss at the same time.

517

Rod: I would count this

whole thing, a win entirely.

518

I think David is wrong to

respond the way that he does.

519

Understandably.

520

So.

521

Totally.

522

He's told I get it.

523

Like it's his son.

524

And I understand he had his

hopes and expectations on him

525

being the next king, probably.

526

And there's also that sense of personal

guilt that the reason that he's acting

527

this way is because of his own sin.

528

It was a sin that provoked all

of these, all of this fallout.

529

So he's probably reeling

promote a few things there in

530

addition to the loss of his son.

531

But boy, at the time that the nation

needs him to be king, to be confident,

532

to be strong, to trust in Yahweh

as his, all of his Psalms detail.

533

And we'll look at tomorrow.

534

And then he's he's, this

is a bad thing for him.

535

And so even though I don't like Joe

abs character, It's got a scoundrel.

536

We've talked about him already.

537

And he's a mixed character at the best.

538

Uh, but Joe abs decision to

kill his son to, to restore

539

unity to the kingdom in order.

540

Um, Was it, I think the right decision.

541

Even though David.

542

Basically commanded them.

543

He actually, no, he didn't basically he

did verse five, the king ordered Joe AB

544

and Abishai and it's high deal gently

for my sake with the young man Absalom.

545

I think it was the

wisest course of action.

546

It had him killed.

547

PJ: Yeah.

548

That's, that's hard though, right?

549

Because if, if we're going to use

the Kings and the Lord's anointed.

550

Concept there.

551

Then disobeying the Lord's anointed.

552

What?

553

Wasn't the right move, right?

554

I mean, David wouldn't have

disobeyed salts commands.

555

Um, true.

556

Rod: Um, so I'm thinking

treason, treason is.

557

I think Warren's capital penalties.

558

Yeah.

559

And so again, I think David's wrong.

560

I just, because he is a Lord's anointed,

I don't think it means that everything

561

he does is obviously clearly going to

be the Lord's wisdom on the matter.

562

I think Joel did the thing

that he should have done.

563

According to what God would have wanted,

not what David would have wanted.

564

PJ: Yeah, I'm not saying what

David did was, was good here.

565

When I said it's, it's a win and a loss.

566

It's a loss because of.

567

Of David's response to

everything and right.

568

The whole situation.

569

Um, yeah, not because Absalom dies.

570

That's not so much a loss.

571

Um, yeah, so there you go.

572

Uh, second scene of 16 through 18 and

a man David's life gets really messy.

573

But we're going to get to

Solomon in a little bit.

574

Here in Solomon has a much different rain.

575

It's it's not a violent rain.

576

It's not a war torn rain.

577

It's a much different rain, but for

now we're, we're focused on David

578

and things are not going well.

579

Because of David's rebellion against God.

580

Rod: It's always a small sins, right?

581

I think.

582

We talked about this, but it's worth

repeating because of the impact that we're

583

still seeing unfold in front of our eyes.

584

David has a small fling.

585

I mean, who knows how long it took,

but it was just maybe a couple hours of

586

time in his life that resulted in years

of pain, heartache and devastation.

587

Sometimes sin presents itself

like the bait on the hook.

588

That's shiny and enjoyable.

589

But Allston has, has the switch in

it, which is intended to destroy

590

after it deceives and to kill and

harm everyone else in its wake.

591

So, man, if you're fighting a

temptation, if there's something

592

in your life that you're struggling

with and you know, this is a wrong

593

thing, I shouldn't do this thing.

594

Um, now just.

595

Keep David's story in mind, the

fallout to sin is never neat and clean.

596

You will always regret sin.

597

You'll never regret being righteous.

598

You'll never regret.

599

Saying I did what was

honorable in God's sight.

600

That even if it causes you pain,

you're never going to say, oh, I

601

hated that I did what God wanted

me to, but you will hate sin.

602

You will hate to fall out of sin.

603

And as, as sure as, as, as right, as rain

as it is, uh, God will ensure that either

604

a you're disciplined or you're found out.

605

Or some other effects of sin

because that's how it goes.

606

You reap what you sow.

607

PJ: Yup.

608

Yep.

609

Yeah, heavy end, but a helpful.

610

And why is it ending to this

episode of the daily Bible podcast?

611

Keep her in your Bibles in tune in

tomorrow as we, uh, take on some

612

more songs together by out by.
