Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hello.

4

It is Monday.

5

It's another Monday, although

summer's right around the corner.

6

We've got it feels like summer already.

7

It does.

8

It's supposed to be a

hundred this week here.

9

What?

10

Yeah, I missed that.

11

I saw the news was saying

it's gonna hit triple digits.

12

Un, potentially.

13

Unbelievable.

14

I know.

15

I know it's okay Wednesday.

16

Yeah, I see the highest

mine says is high of 98.

17

Okay so it's, that's there, but that

almost guarantees that we're gonna hit it.

18

That's incredible.

19

So make sure that your air

conditioners are up to snuff.

20

Make sure you've got 'em checked

out because you're gonna need 'em.

21

If you haven't turned 'em on

yet, you're gonna need 'em.

22

Dude, I've never cared so much about air

conditioning and heating in my whole life.

23

Yep.

24

Here, you need to care both.

25

So we've called out people

anytime we enter a new season

26

Hey, just come check our hvac,

make sure everything's top notch.

27

'cause I, you just can't you can't assume.

28

That it'll always work.

29

It's gonna break down at some point, so

you gotta make sure that it's top notch.

30

Have you been pleased with your HVAC tech?

31

We've done different people.

32

Oh, okay.

33

Only because the first year we

did it, we were doing it through

34

whatever the builder used.

35

Yeah.

36

They were still under

contract for the warranty.

37

So I called them out.

38

They were great.

39

But now we I forget who we

called out the last time.

40

It was one of the big

names around the area.

41

Gotcha.

42

You guys doing that stuff

or do you check it yourself?

43

You probably do it yourself, don't you?

44

I don't do that myself.

45

No.

46

No.

47

So I'll, I probably need

to get somebody out.

48

We had, I mean we, when we bought

our house two years ago, we

49

had all the inspections done.

50

Everything was okay at that point.

51

But yeah, we need to get somebody else

out to, to give it another look through.

52

I just, I dread my air conditioning

going out in the middle of the day.

53

Oh, for sure.

54

Because then what do you do?

55

You go to a hotel.

56

I really, that's what

I'm thinking you did.

57

We'd have to spend the night in

a hotel 'cause you just can't.

58

You couldn't.

59

Yeah.

60

Could you really, your house

had get like 80, 90 degrees.

61

It would be gnarly.

62

I think we've got enough people in

our church that would say, Hey, why

63

don't you come stay at our house?

64

We're a family of seven, bro.

65

Yeah.

66

No.

67

So we are.

68

I don't know that's gonna, I don't know.

69

It was super generous to

the mayors to offer that.

70

Yeah, both of our families actually,

they said they would move out

71

so that we could move in all 14.

72

That's what Danny said.

73

Yeah.

74

He said, shouldn't you talk to Ed for?

75

Nope.

76

Nope.

77

I can make the decision

without even talking to her.

78

Not a problem.

79

In fact, he said that might be funny,

even if our air conditioner doesn't break.

80

Yeah.

81

We can still just go hang out

with, that's what he said.

82

Yeah.

83

His palatial estate.

84

He said he'd be happy to make

it a vacation meal for us.

85

I.

86

It wouldn't be bad.

87

Second home, right over there.

88

Just about five minutes north

of where we're at already.

89

Anyways.

90

Alright, let's let's get into

the Psalms today and check your

91

HVACs and check your HVACs.

92

Do both of those things.

93

Let's get back into the Psalms.

94

We are not into David's

downfall yet but that is coming.

95

But the Psalm 65 through 67, 69 through

70 Psalm 65 is a Davidic psalm, and so

96

we see that there in the ti title there,

and it gives us reasons to be joyful

97

and praise the Lord as he deserves.

98

I, it hit me this time in verse one.

99

Praise is, do you, oh Lord, as we

think about something that is due you

100

think about back when Blockbuster was

a thing you'd go and rent a movie and

101

pull it off the shelf and you had to

bring it back by a certain day, and

102

the red ones you had to bring back.

103

Remember just.

104

Two days.

105

You didn't have very long with those, but

the other ones you could have for longer

106

completely forgot about that designation.

107

Yeah.

108

Wow.

109

Flashback.

110

There you go.

111

There's some nostalgia.

112

Tuck away for no kid.

113

You just took me back like 20 years.

114

You're welcome.

115

Unreal man.

116

And but the red ones were the better ones.

117

You wanted the red ones 'cause they were

new release, they were demand, right?

118

Yeah.

119

And sometimes you wouldn't

find your movie there.

120

You'd go to the front, be like,

did anybody return this one yet?

121

And and they'd go check the man.

122

Yeah, let me go look.

123

That was the best day when

somebody had just returned one.

124

You're like I just got one back.

125

Yeah.

126

But when something's due

you have to bring it back.

127

You're obligated to do that.

128

And here I.

129

David is saying, your due praising God,

you have to bring your praise to God.

130

It's not an optional thing.

131

He's worthy of it.

132

And in this psalm, he's

gonna give us reasons why.

133

It points to his powerful works in

verses six through eight, his abundant

134

provision in verses nine through 13.

135

And man that's the one that got

me is just thinking about how

136

much God does for us, how much he.

137

Gives us how many reasons if we

just stop and look around, we have

138

occasion and cause to worship God.

139

And so when David says praises, do you,

if that's a burden to you, if you're

140

thinking, oh man, how am I gonna do that?

141

Then you're not looking around very hard.

142

And if you start looking around

at your family, if you're married,

143

your spouse your salvation.

144

How about, let's start there.

145

Got his grace, his mercy, like we

even talked about on, on Sunday

146

at church, our church family.

147

Like that's a gift from God.

148

That's, that causes us to say,

God, do you provide there's

149

an overflow with abundance.

150

Verse 11, you, your bounty.

151

Just the language here is you've given

above and beyond what we could ask or

152

imagine as Paul says in Ephesians, so I

love the psalm because it calls us and

153

says, Hey, you've got a due date to praise

God and it's every day of your life.

154

And there should be plenty of

reasons for you to do that.

155

Yeah, I highlighted multiple times

now 'cause I have multiple Bibles.

156

But verse 11, man, your wagon

tracks overflow with abundance.

157

That's such a cool image.

158

It just always hits me.

159

'cause I never think about

God having wagon tracks.

160

Yeah.

161

I don't think of God

having any kinda wagon.

162

He doesn't have a wagon.

163

But the idea of course, is that there's

a wagon and stuff's falling out of

164

it as it hits bumps and everything.

165

'cause it's just so packed

with material in it.

166

I've seen some videos on YouTube

where you'll see in other countries

167

they have trucks and those trucks

are stacked way high with something.

168

Yeah.

169

Oranges or grain or whatever

they have, but they're stacked.

170

They don't have 'em like

here where they're covered.

171

In fact, maybe it is a lot like here

in North Texas when those trucks

172

are driving by with their gravel or

whatever else and it spills over into

173

the road and they don't stop and.

174

Clean it up and they just keep driving

like it doesn't matter for the rest of

175

us who are driving on the same road.

176

It's like that, except

it's not really specific.

177

Dude, I'm so bothered by that.

178

Let me just say I can't, nobody can tell.

179

No one could tell that.

180

I know I was concealing it so well, but

when God does it, it's not annoying.

181

It's not.

182

It's not like he's not thinking of us.

183

He is.

184

He is overflowing with good things

and all we need to do is take

185

advantage of that, draw near and

enjoy the riches of his grace.

186

Do you think God's wagon has a sign

on the back that says, keep back

187

a hundred feet, not responsible

for windshield damage, 200 feet?

188

They're very, they're to make that

very clear I don't think he does.

189

I can you.

190

Can you imagine if somebody

was actually doing that?

191

Like just cruising down the toll

road, 200 feet, 200 feet behind, dude.

192

Yeah.

193

No one does that.

194

And I wonder, is that even legal?

195

Can they say, can they just,

can I put a sticker on my car?

196

Warning?

197

I might break hard, so if

you hit me, it's your fault.

198

Does that work?

199

Yes.

200

Yeah.

201

Try it.

202

See what happens.

203

I'm gonna see what happens.

204

Yeah.

205

No, that, that's great.

206

Psalm 66.

207

More calls to praise and more

reasons to worship God specifically

208

because of what he has done.

209

And again, just note, our

worship of God is not optional.

210

The opening shout for

joy to God all the earth.

211

And that there it is.

212

There's no excuse there.

213

It's not can I have a day off from this?

214

No it's.

215

This is our job.

216

Verse five.

217

Come and see what God has done.

218

How can I shout for joy?

219

Verse five, come and see what he's done.

220

He's awesome in deeds

towards the children of man.

221

And also note this, if we're harboring

sin, our worship of God and our prayers

222

to him are not going to be acceptable.

223

And that's terrifying.

224

That if we're just going through

the motions that our worship is

225

not going to be not gonna be.

226

Received by him.

227

Verse 18.

228

If I had cherished iniquity in

my heart, the Lord would not

229

have listened to my praise.

230

But truly, God has listened and he has

attended to the voice of my prayer.

231

Blessed be God.

232

Now, man, that's hard because all of us

sin, all of us at one time or another have

233

cherished iniquity in our heart, and so

does that mean that God has permanently

234

said I'm not gonna listen to you.

235

And I would say, no.

236

Go back and listen to last Sunday's

message again on the restoration of Peter.

237

We've got a God who is merciful and

gracious to us and delights to restore us.

238

If we will come to him in repentance.

239

And so if you're reading

this going, man, that's me.

240

I feel like I I've been harboring sin.

241

I feel like I've got unconfessed

sin in my life right now.

242

And maybe that's why I felt distant.

243

I felt dry.

244

I haven't felt this close

connection with worshiping God.

245

I would say to you, Hey, come to the Lord.

246

Bring your sin to him.

247

Confess your sin.

248

He delights to, to show you mercy and

steadfast love and abundant grace.

249

Seek him while he may be found as He's,

it's it instructed in the Old Testament.

250

He delights to pardon.

251

And so if that's you and you're

going, man I don't know why

252

my worship has been sterile.

253

Maybe one of the reasons is you've got

sin that you need to bring before the Lord

254

and say, Lord, I gotta get this out into

the light and put it to death and repent

255

from this so that again, I can come before

you and you will receive my worship.

256

Yeah.

257

Speaking of Peter, I think

that's what Peter writes about.

258

And first Peter chapter four where he

says, if you treat your woman in such

259

a way, your wife, that is if you don't

honor her as the weaker vessel as an he

260

of grace, your prayers may be hindered.

261

And I think, Peter could be mean a

couple things by that, but I think

262

it connects to here, verse 18.

263

If we continue to harbor sin in our heart,

and especially sin against our wives.

264

I think that God deliberately says,

no, you got business to work through

265

first before you start asking me

for the goodies and the Bennys.

266

You gotta deal with the sin.

267

I'm not gonna hear you.

268

I'm gonna choose not to respond to your

prayers until you deal with that sin.

269

And I think that still works for us today

as Christians under the New Testament, as

270

much as it did for David under the old.

271

So I agree.

272

No one is without sin.

273

One John one, nine,

we're to confess our sin.

274

But that's the key.

275

Confessing the sin.

276

Christians are not

hypocritical when we sin.

277

We're hypocritical when we don't confess.

278

That's good.

279

That, that should go on a shirt.

280

I was thinking about, on a t-shirt.

281

Alright.

282

Hey Psalm 67.

283

This is another evangelistic psalm.

284

We've seen some of these before.

285

We don't know the author to this.

286

It's not given to us, but we can

assume maybe it was David here ASAP

287

could have been any of them, but.

288

Today an evangelistic psalm.

289

The psalmist is praying here that God

would show favor to him in order that the

290

nations might see God's hand upon his life

and be glad in the goodness of the Lord.

291

And so notice that he's asking

for good things for himself or for

292

the people, rather corporately in

order that the nations would be

293

able to look and see how good God

is, how abundant his provision is.

294

Things that we've just talked about

in the last couple of Psalms here.

295

And that they would be glad

in the Lord and sing for joy.

296

We can bring that down to our level.

297

And even we talked a little bit about it

on Sunday, the fact that God does restore

298

us in part for His glory so that we can

testify to that and say, God, look at any

299

good in me is only in me because of God.

300

And so if you're gonna say, Hey.

301

Here's a compliment for you.

302

Praise God instead on my behalf.

303

Say again.

304

Thank you for this person.

305

Thank you for what they've done.

306

This is about the good things that God

is gonna do through Israel, reflecting

307

on him, not on Israel itself, or not on

the King of Israel, but saying, Hey, God

308

is the one that's worthy of the glory.

309

Yeah.

310

Verse two unlocks the rest of

the Psalm, but don't neglect

311

to see the rest of the Psalm.

312

God cares about the nations.

313

He cares about the peoples.

314

He cares about the ends of the earth.

315

God is not just concerned

with his primary people.

316

Target.

317

Although he does care about Israel

for the all the reasons that we've

318

talked about, and he does care deeply

about the church, obviously, but the

319

reason that we're still here is because

he's not done collecting his people.

320

There are still people

that are yet to be saved.

321

That must be, that's why God hasn't

initiated the beginning of the end.

322

They're still people that need to know

his name, the peoples of the Earth.

323

That's why we're here.

324

That's what God wants to do.

325

So please take your part in that.

326

Yep.

327

Reaching, teaching and training.

328

That's what we're about.

329

Yep.

330

Psalm 69.

331

Then this is a a dark psalm, if I can

put it that way where David is clearly

332

in a tough spot and keenly aware of

his need for God to come to his aid.

333

Verse 18, he says, these words

drawn near, redeem me, ransom me.

334

That gives us a picture

into the circumstances that

335

David was facing and still.

336

Even in the midst of that, he's willing

to wait on God's timing and we see that

337

just a few verses before that, actually in

verse 13, he says, add an acceptable time.

338

Oh God, in the abundance of

your steadfast love, answer

339

mean you're saving faithfulness.

340

This is a hard psalm for us to

embrace and adopt because it of that.

341

Verse 13 right there to be able to

say, God, here's my circumstances.

342

Okay?

343

That's easy for us to do.

344

It's easy for us to lay our case before

the Lord and say, Lord I'm in trouble.

345

I'm in a tough spot.

346

I need you.

347

It's also easy for us to pray.

348

Lord John near to me.

349

Redeem me.

350

Ransom me.

351

The hard thing is to say, okay, God,

in your timing, do all of this because

352

you, your timing or God's timing is

always gonna be what is worked out.

353

But we want God to operate

according to our timing.

354

And that's what's so hard for us is to

be patient in the valley, to be patient

355

with Job to sit in the angst and the

terminal and the pain, not knowing when

356

the deliverance is gonna come or if it's

gonna come this side of eternity from.

357

For some things, but still

being able to say with David.

358

Okay, got it.

359

I'm gonna, or the psalm Yeah.

360

David to say.

361

Okay, got it.

362

I'm gonna wait on you.

363

Your timing is what's in view here?

364

Yeah.

365

This Psalm is used quite a

bit in the New Testament.

366

And of course we think that

it primarily refers to Christ.

367

He's the fulfillments of all these things.

368

He waited patiently for

the father's deliverance.

369

He did ask for the Lord to deliver him.

370

From his enemies, and yet

he said, nevertheless, not

371

as I will, but as you will.

372

Verse nine, zeal for your house has

consuming the apostles the disciples

373

at that point, but the apostles

saw that this was about Jesus.

374

It's quoted in John chapter two.

375

Actually, John chapter two says,

A long time ago for our church,

376

but we saw that there's a few

places here where you'll see that.

377

There's cross references of

things that Jesus experienced.

378

So verse 21, they gave me poison

for food and for my thirst,

379

they gave me sour wine to drink.

380

Remember that at the cross?

381

Both in Matthew 27, mark 15.

382

So there, there's lots of

parallels here to what Jesus

383

life and ministry experienced.

384

So even though this is by

David, this really is about

385

the true and better, David.

386

Psalm 70.

387

Then this psalm tells us that there's

a time to ask God to act quickly.

388

So we just talked about waiting, and

yet Psalm 70 we see that there are

389

reasons for and times when we should

in be able to say, Hey, listen,

390

Lord, I need you and I need you.

391

Now, make haste verse one.

392

Make haste, oh God, make haste.

393

Verse one, verse four, may all who

seek you, rejoice, and be glad in you.

394

Verse five, hastened to me.

395

Verse five, do not delay.

396

As much as we can say there,

there's a time to say, God,

397

I'm gonna wait on your timing.

398

There's also a time here in, in Psalm

70 that it's appropriate for us to pray.

399

God I need you now.

400

There's an urgency here and I'm asking

you to act with haste on my behalf.

401

Yeah, I've been praying to the Lord.

402

Please make haste to

provide us a building.

403

I'm not ashamed about that.

404

I think there's times to pray for

that, and I'm okay with that one.

405

If you wanna pray with us to say,

Lord, please make hay to provide us

406

a building, we'd be okay with that.

407

We're patient ultimately, and

we're entrusting ourselves to him.

408

But that's the kind of thing we're

saying, please go quickly, Lord and please

409

deliver in the way that we're asking for.

410

But nevertheless, we trust him and

we recognize our poor and neediness.

411

Ultimately is he's aware of it and

he's gonna deliver when he decides.

412

Yeah.

413

Yeah we're excited about this

transition up here to prosper, but

414

it's still not a permanent facility

for us yeah, that is a good prayer.

415

For sure.

416

For sure.

Hey, lemme pray, speaking of pray,

and we'll be done with this episode.

418

God.

419

Perhaps the greatest may haste prayer

that we should have as the church is

420

the prayer of the end of Revelation,

the end of scripture that says,

421

Maranatha, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

422

We want that.

423

We desire that.

424

And even as we talked about, that's not

gonna happen until the last soul that you

425

desire to be saved is going to be saved.

426

And so we wanna be an evangelistic

people, even as Peter says, and

427

second Peter, that we can hasten the

coming day of Christ as we go out and.

428

Tell people about the Lord.

429

Tell people that he's not slow,

but that he wishes that everyone

430

should come to repentance.

431

And so God make us an evangelistic church.

432

A church that, that wants to see people

who are lost come to faith in Jesus.

433

And so give us that

zeal, that passion, Lord.

434

And in that I.

435

And so doing, we can hasten your return.

436

What an awesome thought that is, that

somebody at Compass Bible Church may share

437

the gospel with the last person ever to be

saved and hasten your coming on that day.

438

What an amazing time that would be.

439

And God we pray for that.

440

We ask for that.

441

Make us that as a church.

442

We pray in Jesus' name.

443

Amen.

444

Amen.
