00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.059
He<00:14:55.320><c> went</c><00:14:55.539><c> through</c><00:14:55.740><c> a</c><00:14:56.000><c> very,</c><00:14:56.379><c> very</c><00:14:56.740><c> bitter</c><00:14:56.980><c> time</c><00:14:57.340><c> in</c><00:14:57.480><c> his</c><00:14:57.639><c> own</c><00:14:57.799><c> mind.</c>

00:14:58.139 --> 00:14:59.480
He<00:14:58.159><c> was</c><00:14:58.460><c> bitter</c><00:14:58.740><c> against</c><00:14:59.100><c> god.</c>

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:02.399
His<00:15:00.179><c> heart</c><00:15:00.500><c> was</c><00:15:00.940><c> grieved</c><00:15:01.259><c> at</c><00:15:01.399><c> what</c><00:15:01.539><c> had</c><00:15:01.759><c> happened</c><00:15:01.899><c> to</c><00:15:02.059><c> him.</c>

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.779
He<00:15:02.980><c> was</c><00:15:03.259><c> questioning</c><00:15:03.720><c> god.</c>

00:15:06.580 --> 00:15:09.220
And<00:15:06.860><c> I</c><00:15:07.000><c> think</c><00:15:07.080><c> we</c><00:15:07.159><c> can</c><00:15:07.299><c> all</c><00:15:07.419><c> understand</c><00:15:07.879><c> that,</c><00:15:08.120><c> can't</c><00:15:08.320><c> we?</c>

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:12.919
You<00:15:10.000><c> know,</c><00:15:10.080><c> it's</c><00:15:10.399><c> quite</c><00:15:10.659><c> easy</c><00:15:10.899><c> to</c><00:15:11.179><c> face</c><00:15:11.399><c> up</c><00:15:11.679><c> to</c><00:15:11.960><c> hostile</c><00:15:12.460><c> opposition.</c>

00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.840
If<00:15:13.379><c> people</c><00:15:13.980><c> came</c><00:15:14.220><c> around</c><00:15:14.539><c> and</c><00:15:14.679><c> they</c><00:15:14.820><c> arrested</c><00:15:15.100><c> us</c><00:15:15.399><c> and</c><00:15:15.480><c> put</c><00:15:15.659><c> us</c>

00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.960
on<00:15:16.120><c> trial</c><00:15:16.299><c> for</c><00:15:16.460><c> our</c><00:15:16.720><c> faith,</c>

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.519
I<00:15:17.519><c> reckon</c><00:15:17.759><c> most</c><00:15:18.080><c> of</c><00:15:18.179><c> us</c><00:15:18.320><c> would</c><00:15:18.519><c> cope</c><00:15:18.740><c> remarkably</c><00:15:19.320><c> well.</c>

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.779
We<00:15:24.620><c> seem</c><00:15:24.799><c> to</c><00:15:24.980><c> find</c><00:15:25.100><c> extra</c><00:15:25.480><c> strength</c><00:15:25.799><c> sometimes</c><00:15:26.419><c> when</c><00:15:26.659><c> tragedy</c><00:15:27.100><c> strikes,</c>

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.980
and<00:15:28.240><c> we</c><00:15:28.440><c> pull</c><00:15:28.620><c> together</c><00:15:28.960><c> wonderfully.</c>

00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:33.820
But<00:15:31.539><c> the</c><00:15:31.679><c> thing</c><00:15:31.860><c> that</c><00:15:32.059><c> tears</c><00:15:32.220><c> us</c><00:15:32.440><c> apart</c><00:15:32.759><c> is</c><00:15:32.899><c> when</c><00:15:33.019><c> our</c><00:15:33.179><c> own</c><00:15:33.379><c> brethren</c><00:15:33.659><c> let</c>

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:39.419
Or<00:15:36.919><c> when</c><00:15:37.000><c> our</c><00:15:37.240><c> heartfelt</c><00:15:37.539><c> prayers</c><00:15:37.899><c> for</c><00:15:38.080><c> the</c><00:15:38.320><c> sick</c><00:15:38.580><c> don't</c><00:15:39.059><c> appear</c><00:15:39.279><c> to</c>

00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:39.980
be<00:15:39.620><c> answered</c>

00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:41.820
in<00:15:40.220><c> the</c><00:15:40.340><c> way</c><00:15:40.539><c> that</c><00:15:40.679><c> we</c><00:15:40.860><c> hope.</c>

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.899
It's<00:15:42.879><c> hard</c><00:15:43.120><c> to</c><00:15:43.259><c> go</c><00:15:43.399><c> on</c><00:15:43.600><c> believing</c><00:15:43.899><c> when</c><00:15:44.120><c> we</c><00:15:44.360><c> pray</c><00:15:44.580><c> for</c><00:15:44.740><c> things</c>

00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:47.220
so<00:15:45.220><c> earnestly</c><00:15:45.480><c> and</c><00:15:45.659><c> nothing</c><00:15:45.919><c> happens.</c>

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:53.059
Maybe<00:15:48.580><c> because</c><00:15:48.840><c> in</c><00:15:49.039><c> god's</c><00:15:49.279><c> good</c><00:15:49.519><c> time</c><00:15:49.759><c> he</c><00:15:49.879><c> wants</c><00:15:50.139><c> us</c><00:15:50.419><c> yet</c><00:15:50.779><c> to</c><00:15:51.399><c> suffer</c><00:15:51.679><c> a</c><00:15:51.980><c> while.</c>

our<00:15:58.320><c> meetings.</c>

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:04.340
It's<00:16:01.340><c> so</c><00:16:01.639><c> hard</c><00:16:01.840><c> to</c><00:16:02.019><c> keep</c><00:16:02.159><c> praying</c><00:16:02.440><c> to</c><00:16:02.639><c> god</c><00:16:02.980><c> when</c><00:16:03.860><c> our</c><00:16:04.059><c> emotions</c>

00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:07.580
And<00:16:06.379><c> they</c><00:16:06.580><c> seem</c><00:16:06.759><c> to</c><00:16:06.879><c> have</c><00:16:06.980><c> gone</c><00:16:07.059><c> through</c><00:16:07.200><c> some</c><00:16:07.279><c> sort</c><00:16:07.399><c> of</c><00:16:07.539><c> a</c>

00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.980
He<00:16:08.159><c> prayed</c><00:16:08.340><c> and</c><00:16:08.500><c> he</c><00:16:08.639><c> prayed</c><00:16:08.759><c> and</c><00:16:08.779><c> he</c><00:16:08.940><c> prayed</c><00:16:09.299><c> and</c><00:16:09.799><c> nothing</c><00:16:10.000><c> improved.</c>

00:16:11.179 --> 00:16:14.179
And<00:16:11.279><c> he</c><00:16:11.340><c> got</c><00:16:11.500><c> so</c><00:16:11.720><c> bad</c><00:16:11.840><c> that</c><00:16:11.960><c> in</c><00:16:12.059><c> verse</c><00:16:12.200><c> 15</c><00:16:12.539><c> he</c><00:16:12.659><c> was</c><00:16:12.820><c> about</c><00:16:13.019><c> to</c><00:16:13.179><c> go</c><00:16:13.320><c> public.</c>

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.659
He<00:16:14.519><c> was</c><00:16:14.720><c> tempted</c><00:16:14.899><c> to</c><00:16:15.059><c> come</c><00:16:15.120><c> around</c><00:16:15.320><c> and</c><00:16:15.899><c> say,</c>

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.080
it<00:16:17.220><c> isn't</c><00:16:17.440><c> worth</c><00:16:17.940><c> trying</c><00:16:18.240><c> to</c><00:16:18.399><c> live</c><00:16:18.500><c> the</c><00:16:18.740><c> truth.</c>

00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.919
I'm<00:16:19.720><c> giving</c><00:16:19.919><c> it</c><00:16:20.120><c> away.</c>

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:24.059
If<00:16:22.200><c> I</c><00:16:22.519><c> say,</c><00:16:22.879><c> I</c><00:16:23.000><c> will</c><00:16:23.320><c> speak</c><00:16:23.759><c> thus.</c>

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.539

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:32.519
But<00:16:30.200><c> he</c><00:16:30.379><c> found</c><00:16:30.559><c> a</c><00:16:30.740><c> toe</c><00:16:30.919><c> hole,</c><00:16:31.179><c> brethren</c><00:16:31.320><c> and</c><00:16:31.539><c> sisters.</c>

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:34.600
It's<00:16:33.620><c> what</c><00:16:33.740><c> we</c><00:16:33.919><c> have</c><00:16:34.159><c> to</c><00:16:34.340><c> do.</c>

00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:35.820
It's<00:16:34.840><c> what</c><00:16:34.980><c> this</c><00:16:35.220><c> is</c><00:16:35.379><c> here</c><00:16:35.620><c> for.</c>

00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:56.059
It's<00:16:53.559><c> like</c><00:16:53.720><c> a</c><00:16:53.860><c> man</c><00:16:54.019><c> that's</c><00:16:54.799><c> on</c><00:16:54.799><c> a</c><00:16:55.059><c> bank</c><00:16:55.240><c> of</c><00:16:55.519><c> a</c><00:16:55.620><c> cliff.</c>

Everything<00:31:31.559><c> seems</c><00:31:31.940><c> to</c><00:31:32.140><c> go</c><00:31:32.319><c> well</c><00:31:32.559><c> for</c><00:31:32.740><c> them.</c>

00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.279
But<00:31:33.740><c> it's</c><00:31:34.000><c> like</c><00:31:34.140><c> a</c><00:31:34.420><c> dream</c><00:31:34.640><c> when</c><00:31:34.819><c> you</c><00:31:35.359><c> snap</c><00:31:35.720><c> out</c><00:31:35.960><c> of</c><00:31:36.059><c> it.</c>

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.299
The<00:31:36.680><c> dream</c><00:31:36.900><c> goes</c><00:31:37.279><c> and</c><00:31:37.539><c> vanishes</c><00:31:37.759><c> and</c><00:31:37.900><c> you</c><00:31:38.019><c> can</c><00:31:38.259><c> hardly</c><00:31:38.460><c> remember</c><00:31:38.839><c> anything</c><00:31:39.140><c> of</c>

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:40.519
that<00:31:39.519><c> dream.</c>

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.140
So<00:31:41.900><c> their</c><00:31:42.119><c> world</c><00:31:42.299><c> will</c><00:31:42.519><c> vanish</c><00:31:42.779><c> away.</c>

00:31:49.099 --> 00:31:52.099
And<00:31:49.539><c> what</c><00:31:49.680><c> do</c><00:31:49.779><c> we</c><00:31:49.940><c> learn</c><00:31:50.019><c> in</c><00:31:50.180><c> the</c><00:31:50.359><c> sanctuary,</c><00:31:50.740><c> brethren</c><00:31:50.839><c> and</c><00:31:51.079><c> sisters?</c>

00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:57.220
Why<00:31:54.779><c> is</c><00:31:54.920><c> it</c><00:31:55.079><c> needful</c><00:31:55.339><c> for</c><00:31:55.480><c> us</c><00:31:55.759><c> to</c><00:31:55.980><c> go</c><00:31:56.259><c> quietly</c><00:31:56.700><c> apart?</c>

00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.200
To<00:31:58.039><c> get</c><00:31:58.200><c> away</c><00:31:58.539><c> from</c><00:31:58.740><c> the</c><00:31:58.920><c> crowding</c><00:31:59.299><c> thoughts</c><00:31:59.660><c> that</c><00:31:59.839><c> come</c><00:31:59.960><c> upon</c><00:32:00.220><c> us.</c>

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:02.660
We<00:32:01.440><c> learn</c><00:32:01.579><c> a</c><00:32:01.759><c> lot</c><00:32:01.779><c> of</c><00:32:01.859><c> things</c><00:32:02.019><c> in</c><00:32:02.180><c> the</c><00:32:02.359><c> sanctuary.</c>

00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:05.720
Just<00:32:03.019><c> come</c><00:32:03.180><c> to</c><00:32:03.339><c> Psalm</c><00:32:03.559><c> 63</c><00:32:04.279><c> and</c><00:32:04.559><c> verse</c><00:32:04.819><c> 2.</c>

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:08.880
Some<00:32:07.019><c> of</c><00:32:07.180><c> the</c><00:32:07.279><c> things</c><00:32:07.420><c> we</c><00:32:07.640><c> learn</c><00:32:07.799><c> are</c><00:32:07.980><c> given</c><00:32:08.119><c> to</c><00:32:08.299><c> us</c><00:32:08.460><c> in</c><00:32:08.619><c> these</c>

Psalms<00:32:09.240><c> around</c><00:32:09.500><c> this</c><00:32:09.720><c> area.</c>

00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:12.720

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:25.420
You<00:32:22.680><c> know,</c><00:32:23.039><c> when</c><00:32:23.180><c> we</c><00:32:23.299><c> go</c><00:32:23.440><c> to</c><00:32:23.579><c> the</c><00:32:23.740><c> sanctuary</c><00:32:23.980><c> of</c><00:32:24.240><c> God</c><00:32:24.420><c> and</c><00:32:24.640><c> we</c>

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.420
leave<00:32:25.559><c> the</c><00:32:25.740><c> world</c><00:32:25.880><c> outside</c>

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:28.819
and<00:32:26.579><c> we</c><00:32:26.700><c> start</c><00:32:27.000><c> to</c><00:32:27.259><c> think</c><00:32:27.440><c> about</c><00:32:27.720><c> the</c><00:32:27.960><c> great</c><00:32:28.140><c> and</c><00:32:28.259><c> eternal</c><00:32:28.519><c> God.</c>

00:32:28.940 --> 00:32:31.279
His<00:32:29.059><c> power</c><00:32:29.500><c> and</c><00:32:29.859><c> His</c><00:32:30.200><c> glory</c><00:32:30.500><c> in</c><00:32:30.740><c> the</c><00:32:30.960><c> sanctuary.</c>

00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:33.180
His<00:32:31.799><c> loving</c><00:32:32.160><c> kindness.</c>

00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:35.619
Life<00:32:33.960><c> comes</c><00:32:34.220><c> into</c><00:32:34.420><c> perspective.</c>

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:39.180
Psalm<00:32:35.839><c> 77,</c><00:32:36.839><c> another</c><00:32:37.000><c> Psalm</c><00:32:37.279><c> of</c><00:32:37.500><c> Asaph</c><00:32:37.839><c> and</c><00:32:38.000><c> verse</c><00:32:38.259><c> 11.</c>

00:32:39.539 --> 00:32:42.640
I<00:32:39.579><c> will</c><00:32:39.940><c> remember</c><00:32:40.200><c> the</c><00:32:40.460><c> works</c><00:32:40.900><c> of</c><00:32:41.220><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.859
Surely<00:32:43.059><c> I</c><00:32:43.299><c> will</c><00:32:43.299><c> remember</c><00:32:43.579><c> His</c><00:32:44.200><c> wonders</c><00:32:44.480><c> of</c><00:32:44.700><c> old.</c>

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.980
I<00:32:44.980><c> will</c><00:32:45.160><c> meditate</c><00:32:45.539><c> upon</c><00:32:45.839><c> all</c><00:32:46.000><c> Thy</c><00:32:46.160><c> work</c><00:32:46.440><c> and</c><00:32:46.599><c> talk</c><00:32:46.880><c> of</c><00:32:46.980><c> Thy</c><00:32:47.220><c> doings.</c>

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:51.420
Thy<00:32:48.420><c> way,</c><00:32:48.920><c> O</c><00:32:49.299><c> God,</c><00:32:50.059><c> is</c><00:32:50.359><c> in</c><00:32:50.640><c> the</c><00:32:51.000><c> sanctuary.</c>

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:52.980
Who<00:32:51.680><c> is</c><00:32:51.960><c> great</c><00:32:52.319><c> as</c><00:32:52.519><c> our</c><00:32:52.720><c> God?</c>

00:32:53.380 --> 00:32:55.579
And<00:32:53.559><c> we</c><00:32:53.759><c> rehearse</c><00:32:54.140><c> the</c><00:32:54.359><c> great</c><00:32:54.519><c> and</c><00:32:54.680><c> mighty</c><00:32:54.880><c> acts</c><00:32:55.099><c> of</c><00:32:55.339><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:57.460
His<00:32:55.779><c> hand</c><00:32:56.059><c> in</c><00:32:56.200><c> the</c><00:32:56.359><c> past</c><00:32:56.599><c> did</c><00:32:56.880><c> work.</c>

00:32:57.700 --> 00:33:00.319
God<00:32:57.900><c> is</c><00:32:58.119><c> not</c><00:32:58.339><c> slack</c><00:32:58.640><c> concerning</c><00:32:59.059><c> His</c><00:32:59.339><c> promises.</c>

00:33:00.859 --> 00:33:02.660
We<00:33:00.960><c> remember</c><00:33:01.319><c> that</c><00:33:01.539><c> God</c><00:33:01.680><c> is</c><00:33:01.940><c> not</c><00:33:02.200><c> mocked.</c>

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:04.880
He<00:33:02.980><c> laughs</c><00:33:03.319><c> at</c><00:33:03.480><c> the</c><00:33:03.619><c> wicked</c><00:33:03.799><c> because</c><00:33:04.039><c> their</c><00:33:04.259><c> day</c><00:33:04.420><c> is</c><00:33:04.640><c> coming.</c>

00:33:05.259 --> 00:33:09.539
We<00:33:05.440><c> understand</c><00:33:06.200><c> that</c><00:33:06.480><c> God</c><00:33:07.019><c> has</c><00:33:07.519><c> not</c><00:33:07.799><c> forgotten</c><00:33:08.240><c> His</c><00:33:08.539><c> people.</c>

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.619
And<00:33:11.079><c> we</c><00:33:11.279><c> need</c><00:33:11.539><c> to</c><00:33:11.819><c> find</c><00:33:12.440><c> sanctuary,</c><00:33:13.099><c> brethren</c><00:33:13.220><c> and</c><00:33:13.460><c> sisters,</c>

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:17.319
It<00:33:15.039><c> can</c><00:33:15.200><c> be</c><00:33:15.359><c> any</c><00:33:15.599><c> place</c><00:33:15.839><c> that</c><00:33:16.000><c> we</c><00:33:16.099><c> have</c><00:33:16.359><c> quietness,</c><00:33:16.920><c> away</c><00:33:17.140><c> from</c>

the<00:33:17.599><c> distractions</c><00:33:17.940><c> of</c><00:33:18.160><c> life.</c>

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:23.019
Time<00:33:20.000><c> to</c><00:33:20.240><c> focus</c><00:33:20.579><c> our</c><00:33:20.900><c> spiritual</c><00:33:21.400><c> thoughts</c><00:33:21.819><c> and</c><00:33:22.019><c> to</c><00:33:22.500><c> refresh</c>

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:30.180
Brother<00:33:28.900><c> Robert</c><00:33:29.180><c> said</c><00:33:29.420><c> this.</c>

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:34.640
It<00:33:31.980><c> is</c><00:33:32.119><c> absolutely</c><00:33:32.599><c> necessary</c><00:33:33.079><c> to</c><00:33:33.259><c> get</c><00:33:33.420><c> away</c><00:33:33.619><c> now</c><00:33:33.859><c> and</c><00:33:34.099><c> then</c>

00:33:38.099 --> 00:33:40.960
You<00:33:38.119><c> cannot</c><00:33:38.400><c> otherwise</c><00:33:38.880><c> keep</c><00:33:39.119><c> the</c><00:33:39.279><c> mental</c><00:33:39.539><c> telescope</c><00:33:40.220><c> in</c><00:33:40.779><c> the</c>

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:46.640
That's<00:33:43.640><c> Diary</c><00:33:43.900><c> of</c><00:33:43.960><c> a</c><00:33:44.079><c> Voyage,</c><00:33:44.619><c> page</c><00:33:44.819><c> 139.</c>

00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:50.259
And<00:33:47.039><c> it</c><00:33:47.119><c> was</c><00:33:47.200><c> our</c><00:33:47.339><c> brother</c><00:33:47.539><c> John</c><00:33:47.779><c> Thomas</c><00:33:48.339><c> who</c><00:33:49.680><c> gave</c><00:33:49.839><c> us</c><00:33:50.039><c> these</c>

00:33:50.259 --> 00:33:51.259
