00:01:17.299 --> 00:01:25.260
We<00:01:17.980><c> looked</c><00:01:18.219><c> at</c><00:01:18.459><c> Psalm</c><00:01:18.760><c> 73</c><00:01:19.459><c> and</c><00:01:19.760><c> Psalm</c><00:01:20.140><c> 77,</c><00:01:21.980><c> which</c><00:01:22.079><c> are</c><00:01:22.400><c> expressions</c><00:01:22.840><c> of</c><00:01:23.299><c> confidence</c><00:01:23.939><c> in</c>

He<00:03:40.580><c> wished</c><00:03:40.860><c> to</c><00:03:41.120><c> die.</c>

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.240

00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.919
He<00:03:51.939><c> was</c><00:03:52.180><c> not</c><00:03:52.460><c> going</c><00:03:52.659><c> to</c><00:03:52.879><c> take</c><00:03:53.039><c> his</c><00:03:53.300><c> own</c><00:03:53.599><c> life.</c>

00:38:18.360 --> 00:38:22.599
You<00:38:18.360><c> know,</c><00:38:19.440><c> the</c><00:38:19.460><c> Lord</c><00:38:19.780><c> is</c><00:38:19.980><c> sensitive</c><00:38:20.460><c> to</c><00:38:20.659><c> both,</c><00:38:21.219><c> brothers</c><00:38:21.300><c> and</c><00:38:21.599><c> sisters.</c>

00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:23.860
Let<00:38:22.880><c> us</c><00:38:23.079><c> not</c><00:38:23.300><c> assume</c>

00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:26.960
that<00:38:24.239><c> he</c><00:38:24.360><c> was</c><00:38:24.519><c> only</c><00:38:24.880><c> concerned</c><00:38:25.360><c> about</c><00:38:25.659><c> David's</c><00:38:26.099><c> spiritual</c><00:38:26.559><c> life.</c>

00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:28.940
He<00:38:27.400><c> provided</c><00:38:27.860><c> David</c><00:38:28.239><c> a</c><00:38:28.500><c> bed</c>

00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:34.000
and<00:38:29.980><c> food</c><00:38:30.360><c> and</c><00:38:30.679><c> wine</c><00:38:31.159><c> and</c><00:38:31.579><c> lentils</c><00:38:32.599><c> and</c><00:38:33.079><c> beans.</c>

00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.679
He<00:38:36.260><c> provided</c><00:38:36.659><c> David</c><00:38:36.980><c> with</c><00:38:37.260><c> everything</c><00:38:37.559><c> he</c><00:38:37.820><c> needed.</c>

00:38:39.179 --> 00:38:41.820
Not<00:38:39.559><c> perhaps</c><00:38:40.340><c> for</c><00:38:40.780><c> richness</c><00:38:41.119><c> and</c><00:38:41.460><c> wealth,</c>

00:38:42.099 --> 00:38:44.500
but<00:38:42.500><c> he</c><00:38:42.860><c> knew</c><00:38:43.059><c> what</c><00:38:43.260><c> David</c><00:38:43.599><c> needed.</c>

00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:47.000
You<00:38:45.820><c> see,</c><00:38:46.079><c> brothers</c><00:38:46.340><c> and</c><00:38:46.639><c> sisters,</c>

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:49.619
what<00:38:47.460><c> David</c><00:38:47.860><c> means</c><00:38:48.199><c> now</c><00:38:48.659><c> when</c><00:38:49.039><c> he</c><00:38:49.340><c> said</c>

00:38:49.619 --> 00:38:53.199
that<00:38:50.019><c> he</c><00:38:50.199><c> laid</c><00:38:50.460><c> himself</c><00:38:51.019><c> down</c><00:38:51.679><c> and</c><00:38:52.059><c> he</c><00:38:52.400><c> slept.</c>

00:38:53.340 --> 00:38:55.400
How<00:38:53.739><c> he</c><00:38:53.960><c> must</c><00:38:54.239><c> have</c><00:38:54.519><c> slept</c><00:38:54.719><c> that</c><00:38:55.079><c> night</c>

00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.340
when<00:38:55.900><c> the</c><00:38:56.099><c> bed</c><00:38:56.260><c> under</c><00:38:56.619><c> him</c><00:38:56.820><c> was</c><00:38:57.039><c> provided</c><00:38:57.440><c> by</c><00:38:57.719><c> God,</c><00:38:58.179><c> literally,</c>

00:38:59.420 --> 00:39:02.159
and<00:38:59.980><c> when</c><00:39:00.260><c> from</c><00:39:00.460><c> the</c><00:39:00.559><c> most</c><00:39:00.900><c> unexpected</c><00:39:01.579><c> sources</c>

00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.360
he<00:39:02.639><c> found</c><00:39:02.980><c> sustenance.</c>

00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:08.179
Now,<00:39:05.559><c> it's</c><00:39:05.739><c> not</c><00:39:06.039><c> fair</c><00:39:06.199><c> to</c><00:39:06.360><c> the</c><00:39:06.599><c> community</c><00:39:07.000><c> or</c><00:39:07.280><c> to</c><00:39:07.460><c> our</c><00:39:07.719><c> ecclesias</c>

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:10.579

00:39:12.659 --> 00:39:14.360

00:39:18.500 --> 00:39:20.719
No,<00:39:19.300><c> but</c><00:39:19.460><c> we</c><00:39:19.579><c> do</c><00:39:19.880><c> find,</c><00:39:20.159><c> don't</c><00:39:20.380><c> we,</c>

00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:34.320
Perhaps<00:39:32.940><c> we'll</c><00:39:33.239><c> discover</c><00:39:33.719><c> that</c><00:39:33.960><c> the</c><00:39:34.139><c> help</c>

00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:14.019
Like<00:50:11.639><c> Josiah,</c><00:50:12.199><c> the</c><00:50:12.380><c> people</c><00:50:12.719><c> weep</c><00:50:13.139><c> when</c><00:50:13.280><c> they</c><00:50:13.500><c> hear</c><00:50:13.659><c> the</c><00:50:13.840><c> words</c>

00:50:14.019 --> 00:50:15.500
of<00:50:14.239><c> the</c><00:50:14.360><c> law.</c>

00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:18.840
They<00:50:15.699><c> are</c><00:50:15.960><c> sensitive</c><00:50:16.500><c> now,</c><00:50:17.059><c> such</c><00:50:17.179><c> as</c><00:50:17.420><c> never</c><00:50:17.639><c> before,</c>

00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:23.579
to<00:50:20.579><c> their</c><00:50:20.760><c> own</c><00:50:21.000><c> inadequacies</c><00:50:21.880><c> and</c><00:50:22.739><c> to</c><00:50:22.920><c> the</c><00:50:23.099><c> fact</c><00:50:23.320><c> that</c><00:50:23.460><c> they</c>

00:50:23.579 --> 00:50:25.440
have<00:50:23.780><c> despised</c><00:50:24.320><c> their</c><00:50:24.559><c> God,</c>

00:50:25.980 --> 00:50:28.820
that<00:50:26.099><c> they</c><00:50:26.280><c> are</c><00:50:26.579><c> truly</c><00:50:27.019><c> in</c><00:50:27.460><c> need</c><00:50:27.599><c> of</c><00:50:27.860><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:50:29.019 --> 00:50:30.539
That's<00:50:29.300><c> why</c><00:50:29.440><c> they're</c><00:50:29.659><c> weeping.</c>

00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:32.360
That's<00:50:31.079><c> why</c><00:50:31.260><c> Josiah</c><00:50:31.860><c> wept.</c>

00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:36.119
And<00:50:32.840><c> that's</c><00:50:33.079><c> why</c><00:50:33.320><c> Daniel</c><00:50:33.900><c> said</c><00:50:34.139><c> what</c><00:50:34.300><c> he</c><00:50:34.579><c> did</c><00:50:34.699><c> when</c><00:50:34.860><c> he</c><00:50:35.179><c> confessed</c><00:50:35.559><c> his</c>

00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:37.659

00:50:37.659 --> 00:50:41.320
and<00:50:38.400><c> admitted</c><00:50:38.780><c> that</c><00:50:38.920><c> they</c><00:50:39.059><c> had</c><00:50:39.360><c> ignored</c><00:50:39.699><c> the</c><00:50:39.920><c> law</c><00:50:40.139><c> of</c><00:50:40.360><c> God.</c>

00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:47.420
But<00:50:43.199><c> it</c><00:50:43.800><c> is</c><00:50:44.039><c> not</c><00:50:44.340><c> the</c><00:50:44.579><c> Father's</c><00:50:45.019><c> intention</c><00:50:45.460><c> to</c><00:50:45.760><c> bring</c><00:50:45.880><c> us</c><00:50:46.159><c> to</c><00:50:46.340><c> despair.</c>

00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:51.800
Neither,<00:50:49.000><c> he</c><00:50:49.239><c> says</c><00:50:49.579><c> at</c><00:50:49.760><c> this</c><00:50:50.039><c> point,</c><00:50:50.519><c> be</c><00:50:50.639><c> ye</c><00:50:50.900><c> sorry.</c>

The<00:50:53.059><c> joy</c><00:50:53.599><c> of</c><00:50:53.980><c> the</c><00:50:54.239><c> Lord</c><00:50:54.659><c> is</c><00:50:55.699><c> your</c><00:50:56.559><c> strength.</c>

00:50:58.260 --> 00:51:01.760
Brothers<00:50:58.480><c> and</c><00:50:58.820><c> sisters,</c><00:50:59.619><c> if</c><00:50:59.800><c> we</c><00:51:00.059><c> let</c><00:51:00.320><c> the</c><00:51:00.619><c> joy</c><00:51:00.880><c> of</c><00:51:01.099><c> the</c><00:51:01.320><c> Lord</c>

00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:30.880
