00:21:46.869 --> 00:21:51.170
These<00:21:47.630><c> broad</c><00:21:48.210><c> plates</c><00:21:48.809><c> that</c><00:21:49.130><c> were</c><00:21:49.509><c> hammered</c><00:21:50.230><c> and</c><00:21:50.549><c> somehow</c>

00:22:04.829 --> 00:22:08.930
So<00:22:05.210><c> that</c><00:22:05.450><c> what</c><00:22:05.650><c> would</c><00:22:05.829><c> an</c><00:22:06.049><c> individual</c><00:22:06.589><c> think</c><00:22:07.190><c> of</c><00:22:07.589><c> if</c><00:22:07.849><c> he</c><00:22:08.009><c> was</c><00:22:08.210><c> discerning</c>

00:22:14.829 --> 00:22:18.069
They,<00:22:15.589><c> in</c><00:22:15.809><c> looking</c><00:22:16.049><c> at</c><00:22:16.250><c> those</c><00:22:16.589><c> brazen</c><00:22:17.049><c> plates</c><00:22:17.470><c> that</c><00:22:17.670><c> had</c><00:22:17.849><c> been</c>

00:22:21.609 --> 00:22:25.809
They<00:22:22.009><c> would</c><00:22:22.210><c> be</c><00:22:22.450><c> reminded</c><00:22:22.910><c> of</c><00:22:23.250><c> the</c><00:22:23.670><c> envy</c><00:22:24.170><c> of</c><00:22:24.690><c> the</c><00:22:24.990><c> foolish.</c>

00:22:26.549 --> 00:22:32.390
Now,<00:22:27.329><c> just</c><00:22:27.569><c> slip</c><00:22:27.789><c> back</c><00:22:28.269><c> on</c><00:22:28.569><c> that</c><00:22:28.829><c> basis</c><00:22:29.230><c> to</c><00:22:29.569><c> Psalm</c><00:22:30.690><c> 73,</c>

00:22:37.009 --> 00:22:39.250

00:22:45.109 --> 00:22:47.650
he<00:22:45.410><c> wasn't</c><00:22:45.710><c> content</c><00:22:46.190><c> with</c><00:22:46.390><c> his</c><00:22:46.650><c> lot,</c>

00:22:56.089 --> 00:22:58.869
Come<00:22:56.390><c> to</c><00:22:56.589><c> Psalm</c><00:22:56.849><c> 73</c><00:22:57.430><c> now,</c><00:22:57.990><c> in</c><00:22:58.190><c> this</c><00:22:58.410><c> perspective,</c>

00:22:59.089 --> 00:23:05.250

00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:10.289
If<00:23:05.849><c> I</c><00:23:06.210><c> say</c><00:23:06.430><c> I</c><00:23:06.630><c> will</c><00:23:06.910><c> speak</c><00:23:07.269><c> thus,</c><00:23:08.269><c> that</c><00:23:08.309><c> would</c><00:23:08.529><c> be</c><00:23:08.730><c> his</c><00:23:09.009><c> complaint</c><00:23:09.650><c> that's</c>

00:23:10.289 --> 00:23:12.309
been<00:23:10.529><c> described</c><00:23:11.029><c> earlier.</c>

00:23:13.009 --> 00:23:15.730
If<00:23:13.210><c> I</c><00:23:13.509><c> say</c><00:23:13.650><c> I</c><00:23:13.829><c> will</c><00:23:14.049><c> speak</c><00:23:14.329><c> thus,</c><00:23:14.730><c> behold,</c><00:23:14.990><c> I</c><00:23:15.170><c> should</c><00:23:15.390><c> offend</c>

00:23:15.730 --> 00:23:17.670
against<00:23:16.049><c> the</c><00:23:16.250><c> generation</c><00:23:16.690><c> of</c><00:23:16.890><c> thy</c><00:23:17.029><c> children.</c>

00:23:17.990 --> 00:23:21.450
When<00:23:18.150><c> I</c><00:23:18.390><c> thought</c><00:23:18.509><c> to</c><00:23:18.769><c> know</c><00:23:18.950><c> this,</c><00:23:19.210><c> it</c><00:23:19.289><c> was</c><00:23:19.490><c> too</c><00:23:19.789><c> painful</c><00:23:20.210><c> for</c><00:23:20.589><c> me.</c>

00:23:21.849 --> 00:23:29.150
Until,<00:23:22.730><c> verse</c><00:23:22.910><c> 17,</c><00:23:24.730><c> until</c><00:23:25.470><c> I</c><00:23:26.769><c> went</c><00:23:26.950><c> into</c><00:23:27.170><c> the</c><00:23:27.410><c> sanctuary</c><00:23:27.869><c> of</c><00:23:28.170><c> God.</c>

00:23:29.150 --> 00:23:34.890
Ah,<00:23:31.410><c> then</c><00:23:32.089><c> understood</c><00:23:33.170><c> I</c><00:23:33.609><c> their</c><00:23:33.910><c> end.</c>

00:23:35.190 --> 00:23:38.690
Surely<00:23:35.630><c> thou</c><00:23:35.970><c> didst</c><00:23:36.430><c> set</c><00:23:36.670><c> them</c><00:23:36.910><c> in</c><00:23:37.170><c> slippery</c><00:23:37.490><c> places.</c>

00:23:39.109 --> 00:23:41.490
Thou<00:23:39.390><c> castest</c><00:23:39.990><c> them</c><00:23:40.170><c> down</c><00:23:40.490><c> into</c><00:23:40.750><c> destruction.</c>

00:23:41.890 --> 00:23:44.950
How<00:23:42.369><c> are</c><00:23:42.549><c> they</c><00:23:42.750><c> brought</c><00:23:43.009><c> into</c><00:23:43.309><c> desolation</c><00:23:44.049><c> as</c><00:23:44.349><c> in</c><00:23:44.509><c> a</c><00:23:44.670><c> moment?</c>

00:23:45.410 --> 00:23:48.150
They<00:23:45.589><c> are</c><00:23:45.730><c> utterly</c><00:23:46.049><c> consumed</c><00:23:46.509><c> with</c><00:23:46.849><c> terrors.</c>

00:23:48.269 --> 00:23:49.730
You<00:23:48.529><c> see</c><00:23:48.670><c> the</c><00:23:48.869><c> point?</c>

00:23:50.710 --> 00:23:55.369
When<00:23:51.390><c> the</c><00:23:52.009><c> psalmist</c><00:23:52.670><c> went</c><00:23:53.269><c> into</c><00:23:53.670><c> the</c><00:23:53.970><c> sanctuary</c><00:23:54.589><c> of</c><00:23:54.890><c> God,</c>

00:23:55.650 --> 00:23:57.289
he<00:23:55.910><c> was</c><00:23:56.230><c> given</c><00:23:56.430><c> a</c><00:23:56.690><c> reminder.</c>

00:23:57.289 --> 00:24:00.549
Something<00:23:58.450><c> prompted</c><00:23:59.069><c> his</c><00:23:59.490><c> thoughts.</c>

00:24:00.710 --> 00:24:03.170
Something<00:24:01.150><c> jolted</c><00:24:01.730><c> him</c><00:24:02.069><c> when</c><00:24:02.289><c> he</c><00:24:02.450><c> came</c><00:24:02.750><c> there.</c>

00:24:03.549 --> 00:24:07.109
What<00:24:03.890><c> other,</c><00:24:04.289><c> brothers</c><00:24:04.569><c> and</c><00:24:04.849><c> sisters,</c><00:24:05.950><c> than</c><00:24:06.109><c> the</c><00:24:06.390><c> memorial</c>

00:24:07.109 --> 00:24:08.710

00:24:08.710 --> 00:24:15.130
that<00:24:09.750><c> was</c><00:24:10.069><c> put</c><00:24:10.329><c> there</c><00:24:11.130><c> on</c><00:24:11.670><c> the</c><00:24:11.930><c> basis</c><00:24:12.490><c> of</c><00:24:12.970><c> the</c><00:24:13.309><c> envy</c><00:24:13.670><c> of</c><00:24:13.970><c> the</c><00:24:14.170><c> foolish?</c>

00:24:16.150 --> 00:24:23.289
There<00:24:16.730><c> was</c><00:24:17.210><c> a</c><00:24:17.589><c> graphic</c><00:24:18.130><c> reminder</c><00:24:18.890><c> of</c><00:24:20.009><c> the</c><00:24:20.329><c> need</c><00:24:20.849><c> to</c><00:24:21.609><c> contemplate</c><00:24:22.390><c> the</c><00:24:22.750><c> past,</c>

00:24:23.289 --> 00:24:28.029
to<00:24:23.890><c> remember</c><00:24:24.630><c> God's</c><00:24:25.410><c> dealings</c><00:24:26.069><c> as</c><00:24:26.710><c> a</c><00:24:26.930><c> source</c><00:24:27.210><c> of</c><00:24:27.569><c> help</c><00:24:27.869><c> when</c>

00:24:28.029 --> 00:24:29.269
we're<00:24:28.349><c> slipping.</c>

00:24:29.869 --> 00:24:31.470
Now<00:24:30.049><c> here's</c><00:24:30.289><c> the</c><00:24:30.569><c> point</c><00:24:30.769><c> to</c><00:24:31.049><c> us.</c>

00:24:31.849 --> 00:24:35.109
Our<00:24:32.150><c> problem</c><00:24:32.650><c> at</c><00:24:32.970><c> this</c><00:24:33.210><c> time</c><00:24:33.450><c> may</c><00:24:33.609><c> not</c><00:24:33.829><c> be</c><00:24:34.109><c> envy,</c><00:24:34.490><c> but</c><00:24:34.589><c> it</c><00:24:34.769><c> might</c><00:24:34.910><c> be</c>

00:24:35.109 --> 00:24:36.730
down<00:24:35.309><c> the</c><00:24:35.490><c> road</c><00:24:35.650><c> sometime.</c>

00:24:36.789 --> 00:24:39.130
It<00:24:36.970><c> can</c><00:24:37.269><c> sneak</c><00:24:37.509><c> in</c><00:24:37.769><c> in</c><00:24:37.890><c> the</c><00:24:37.930><c> most</c><00:24:38.230><c> insidious</c><00:24:38.750><c> ways.</c>

00:24:39.349 --> 00:24:41.750
But<00:24:39.529><c> let's</c><00:24:39.730><c> say</c><00:24:39.849><c> it's</c><00:24:40.069><c> another</c><00:24:40.269><c> kind</c><00:24:40.589><c> of</c><00:24:40.849><c> problem.</c>

00:24:42.029 --> 00:24:46.130
The<00:24:42.329><c> strategy</c><00:24:43.089><c> that</c><00:24:43.569><c> the</c><00:24:43.809><c> psalmist</c><00:24:44.190><c> is</c><00:24:44.529><c> demonstrating</c><00:24:45.089><c> is</c><00:24:45.769><c> to</c>

The<00:33:13.250><c> experience</c><00:33:13.730><c> of</c><00:33:13.910><c> the</c><00:33:14.029><c> golden</c><00:33:14.430><c> calf</c><00:33:14.710><c> showed</c><00:33:15.210><c> how</c><00:33:15.769><c> quickly</c>

00:33:16.309 --> 00:33:18.710
idolatry<00:33:17.029><c> could</c><00:33:17.289><c> blossom</c><00:33:17.690><c> again</c><00:33:18.049><c> in</c><00:33:18.230><c> their</c><00:33:18.410><c> midst.</c>

00:33:18.990 --> 00:33:21.509
They<00:33:19.450><c> were</c><00:33:19.710><c> not</c><00:33:19.869><c> a</c><00:33:20.089><c> perfect</c><00:33:20.349><c> people</c><00:33:20.789><c> when</c><00:33:21.009><c> he</c><00:33:21.150><c> brought</c><00:33:21.329><c> them</c>

00:33:21.509 --> 00:33:23.130
across<00:33:21.849><c> the</c><00:33:21.970><c> Red</c><00:33:22.269><c> Sea.</c>

00:33:23.789 --> 00:33:25.630
They<00:33:24.390><c> were</c><00:33:24.630><c> weak</c><00:33:24.910><c> people.</c>

00:33:26.009 --> 00:33:28.109
They<00:33:26.170><c> were</c><00:33:26.450><c> prisoners</c><00:33:26.849><c> to</c><00:33:27.230><c> sin.</c>

00:33:28.390 --> 00:33:31.130
They<00:33:28.589><c> were</c><00:33:28.809><c> men</c><00:33:29.029><c> and</c><00:33:29.170><c> women</c><00:33:29.390><c> of</c><00:33:29.650><c> like</c><00:33:29.829><c> passions</c><00:33:30.329><c> as</c><00:33:30.549><c> we</c><00:33:30.789><c> are.</c>

00:33:31.430 --> 00:33:33.390
That<00:33:31.769><c> was</c><00:33:32.029><c> the</c><00:33:32.250><c> right</c><00:33:32.549><c> hand</c><00:33:32.849><c> of</c><00:33:33.029><c> God.</c>

00:33:33.390 --> 00:33:38.869
So<00:33:33.849><c> back</c><00:33:34.250><c> in</c><00:33:34.450><c> verse</c><00:33:34.750><c> 10,</c><00:33:35.769><c> my</c><00:33:36.230><c> despair</c><00:33:37.049><c> is</c><00:33:37.470><c> my</c><00:33:37.829><c> weakness.</c>

00:33:39.430 --> 00:33:43.690
This<00:33:39.809><c> is</c><00:33:40.109><c> my</c><00:33:40.430><c> weakness,</c><00:33:41.730><c> that</c><00:33:41.829><c> the</c><00:33:42.150><c> right</c><00:33:42.569><c> hand</c><00:33:42.910><c> of</c><00:33:43.089><c> the</c><00:33:43.250><c> Most</c>

00:33:43.690 --> 00:33:44.910
High<00:33:44.089><c> could</c><00:33:44.390><c> change.</c>

00:33:45.210 --> 00:33:46.789
It<00:33:45.690><c> doesn't</c><00:33:46.210><c> change.</c>

00:33:47.210 --> 00:33:48.509
God<00:33:47.569><c> doesn't</c><00:33:47.990><c> change.</c>

00:33:48.670 --> 00:33:49.849
I<00:33:49.109><c> doubted</c><00:33:49.589><c> it.</c>

00:33:50.269 --> 00:33:52.089
I<00:33:50.670><c> wondered</c><00:33:50.970><c> if</c><00:33:51.150><c> he</c><00:33:51.269><c> had</c><00:33:51.569><c> changed.</c>

00:33:52.269 --> 00:33:55.789
Those<00:33:52.569><c> questions</c><00:33:53.069><c> in</c><00:33:53.230><c> verse</c><00:33:53.450><c> 7,</c><00:33:53.769><c> 8,</c><00:33:54.009><c> and</c><00:33:54.170><c> 9</c><00:33:54.569><c> are</c><00:33:55.049><c> all</c><00:33:55.329><c> asking,</c>

00:33:55.970 --> 00:33:57.690
has<00:33:56.190><c> the</c><00:33:56.430><c> right</c><00:33:56.650><c> hand</c><00:33:56.809><c> of</c><00:33:56.950><c> God</c><00:33:57.170><c> changed?</c>

00:33:57.890 --> 00:33:59.109
Well,<00:33:58.230><c> maybe</c><00:33:58.549><c> it</c><00:33:58.809><c> has.</c>

00:33:59.450 --> 00:34:01.170
Maybe<00:33:59.730><c> God's</c><00:34:00.109><c> not</c><00:34:00.289><c> the</c><00:34:00.490><c> same</c><00:34:00.650><c> as</c><00:34:00.769><c> he</c><00:34:00.950><c> was.</c>

00:34:01.170 --> 00:34:05.529
Maybe<00:34:01.730><c> he</c><00:34:01.809><c> was</c><00:34:02.029><c> compassionate</c><00:34:02.690><c> in</c><00:34:02.869><c> the</c><00:34:03.069><c> past,</c><00:34:03.789><c> and</c><00:34:03.930><c> maybe</c><00:34:04.150><c> he's</c><00:34:04.329><c> not</c><00:34:04.490><c> anymore.</c>

00:34:06.049 --> 00:34:09.510
Maybe<00:34:06.329><c> he</c><00:34:06.970><c> had</c><00:34:06.970><c> mercy</c><00:34:07.470><c> on</c><00:34:07.710><c> the</c><00:34:07.910><c> Father</c><00:34:08.190><c> and</c><00:34:08.349><c> his</c><00:34:08.510><c> epileptic</c><00:34:09.070><c> son,</c><00:34:09.329><c> but</c><00:34:09.449><c> he</c>

00:34:09.510 --> 00:34:12.769
doesn't<00:34:09.769><c> care</c><00:34:09.989><c> about</c><00:34:10.170><c> my</c><00:34:10.389><c> daughter</c><00:34:10.730><c> or</c><00:34:11.429><c> my</c><00:34:11.750><c> son.</c>

00:34:13.090 --> 00:34:17.130
Perhaps<00:34:13.610><c> he</c><00:34:14.130><c> raised</c><00:34:14.510><c> that</c><00:34:14.750><c> little</c><00:34:15.030><c> daughter</c><00:34:15.590><c> from</c><00:34:16.750><c> the</c><00:34:16.989><c> bed</c>

00:34:17.130 --> 00:34:19.570
when<00:34:17.289><c> she</c><00:34:17.510><c> was</c><00:34:17.769><c> sick</c><00:34:18.090><c> and</c><00:34:18.769><c> almost</c><00:34:19.170><c> dying,</c>

00:34:19.750 --> 00:34:22.429
but<00:34:20.190><c> he</c><00:34:20.449><c> doesn't</c><00:34:20.670><c> care</c><00:34:20.949><c> about</c><00:34:21.130><c> my</c><00:34:21.389><c> children.</c>

00:34:22.869 --> 00:34:27.750
Perhaps<00:34:23.230><c> he</c><00:34:23.369><c> would</c><00:34:24.849><c> cure</c><00:34:25.150><c> Peter's</c><00:34:25.889><c> mother</c><00:34:26.070><c>-in</c><00:34:26.250><c>-law,</c><00:34:26.369><c> but</c><00:34:26.570><c> not</c><00:34:26.829><c> mine.</c>

00:34:28.190 --> 00:34:30.929
Well,<00:34:28.849><c> brothers</c><00:34:28.909><c> and</c><00:34:29.150><c> sisters,</c><00:34:29.510><c> the</c><00:34:29.769><c> decisions</c><00:34:30.090><c> always</c><00:34:30.610><c> vary</c>

00:34:30.929 --> 00:34:32.329
according<00:34:31.289><c> to</c><00:34:31.469><c> the</c><00:34:31.650><c> Father's</c><00:34:32.010><c> wisdom.</c>

00:34:32.570 --> 00:34:35.369
But<00:34:32.730><c> does</c><00:34:32.929><c> he</c><00:34:33.090><c> hear?</c><00:34:33.869><c> Does</c><00:34:34.090><c> he</c><00:34:34.289><c> know?</c><00:34:34.510><c> Does</c><00:34:34.730><c> he</c><00:34:34.909><c> care?</c>

00:34:35.869 --> 00:34:42.090
The<00:34:36.170><c> psalmist</c><00:34:36.449><c> doubted</c><00:34:36.909><c> it,</c><00:34:37.989><c> and</c><00:34:38.889><c> it's</c><00:34:40.010><c> not</c><00:34:40.210><c> uncommon</c><00:34:40.630><c> for</c><00:34:40.869><c> us.</c>

00:34:42.909 --> 00:34:45.409
It's<00:34:43.190><c> therefore</c><00:34:43.449><c> not</c><00:34:43.650><c> a</c><00:34:43.909><c> rationalization</c><00:34:44.750><c> that</c><00:34:44.929><c> we</c><00:34:45.070><c> can</c><00:34:45.190><c> get</c>

00:34:45.409 --> 00:34:47.909
away<00:34:45.670><c> with</c><00:34:45.969><c> this</c><00:34:46.210><c> without</c><00:34:46.489><c> having</c><00:34:46.829><c> to</c><00:34:47.090><c> bring</c><00:34:47.269><c> ourselves</c><00:34:47.690><c> up</c>

00:34:47.909 --> 00:34:49.269
with<00:34:48.070><c> God's</c><00:34:48.429><c> help.</c>

00:34:49.530 --> 00:34:52.730
It's<00:34:50.050><c> rather,</c><00:34:50.349><c> however,</c><00:34:50.809><c> an</c><00:34:51.110><c> identification</c><00:34:51.849><c> with</c><00:34:52.070><c> the</c><00:34:52.309><c> psalmist.</c>

00:34:52.730 --> 00:34:55.889
It's<00:34:53.730><c> intended</c><00:34:53.929><c> to</c><00:34:54.110><c> be</c><00:34:54.309><c> a</c><00:34:54.409><c> source</c><00:34:54.610><c> of</c><00:34:54.949><c> encouragement</c><00:34:55.469><c> in</c><00:34:55.789><c> the</c>

00:34:55.889 --> 00:34:57.289

00:34:57.590 --> 00:35:00.429
It's<00:34:57.809><c> helpful</c><00:34:58.030><c> to</c><00:34:58.309><c> know</c><00:34:58.510><c> that</c><00:34:58.730><c> others</c><00:34:59.070><c> have</c><00:34:59.469><c> felt</c><00:34:59.710><c> this</c><00:35:00.030><c> way,</c>

00:35:04.070 --> 00:35:12.969

00:35:16.389 --> 00:35:18.829
It's<00:35:16.710><c> true</c><00:35:16.889><c> to</c><00:35:17.110><c> say,</c><00:35:17.389><c> isn't</c><00:35:17.510><c> it,</c><00:35:17.670><c> brothers</c><00:35:17.829><c> and</c><00:35:18.090><c> sisters,</c><00:35:18.449><c> when</c><00:35:18.590><c> we</c>

00:35:30.889 --> 00:35:34.670
