00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:24.120
We're<00:01:19.640><c> told</c><00:01:19.780><c> in</c><00:01:19.939><c> verse</c><00:01:20.180><c> 17</c><00:01:20.799><c> that</c><00:01:21.140><c> as</c><00:01:21.420><c> Israel</c><00:01:21.939><c> left</c><00:01:22.840><c> the</c><00:01:23.879><c> land</c>

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.299
For<00:01:37.879><c> God</c><00:01:38.120><c> said,</c><00:01:38.439><c> for</c><00:01:38.620><c> adventure</c><00:01:39.280><c> the</c><00:01:40.079><c> people</c><00:01:40.459><c> repent</c><00:01:41.040><c> when</c>

00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:50.079
So<00:01:47.140><c> when</c><00:01:47.299><c> we</c><00:01:47.400><c> look</c><00:01:47.540><c> at</c><00:01:47.659><c> a</c><00:01:47.819><c> map</c><00:01:48.040><c> of</c><00:01:48.459><c> the</c><00:01:48.640><c> Sinai</c><00:01:49.019><c> Peninsula,</c>

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:55.659

A<00:02:08.840><c> journey</c><00:02:09.259><c> perhaps</c><00:02:09.840><c> which</c><00:02:10.020><c> would</c><00:02:10.199><c> have</c><00:02:10.400><c> taken</c><00:02:10.699><c> them</c><00:02:11.699><c> 10</c><00:02:12.219><c> to</c><00:02:12.620><c> a</c>

And<00:02:34.620><c> they</c><00:02:34.900><c> would</c><00:02:35.139><c> have</c><00:02:35.400><c> particularly</c><00:02:35.919><c> been</c><00:02:36.400><c> impressed</c>

God<00:12:59.580><c> was</c><00:13:00.460><c> proving</c><00:13:00.840><c> them</c><00:13:01.399><c> all</c><00:13:01.899><c> through</c><00:13:02.179><c> that</c><00:13:02.440><c> period.</c>

00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.360
He<00:13:04.179><c> was</c><00:13:04.519><c> testing</c><00:13:05.100><c> their</c><00:13:05.480><c> metal</c>

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.440
So<00:13:16.460><c> we're</c><00:13:16.740><c> introduced</c><00:13:17.220><c> to</c><00:13:17.460><c> water.</c>

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.100
The<00:13:27.980><c> wicked</c><00:13:28.259><c> are</c><00:13:28.480><c> like</c><00:13:28.700><c> a</c><00:13:29.019><c> troubled</c><00:13:29.539><c> sea.</c>

00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.779
They<00:13:58.419><c> had</c><00:13:58.580><c> that</c><00:13:58.960><c> sort</c><00:13:59.200><c> of</c><00:13:59.360><c> affliction.</c>

So<00:16:04.899><c> we've</c><00:16:05.139><c> got</c><00:16:05.299><c> this</c><00:16:05.559><c> picture</c><00:16:06.100><c> of</c><00:16:07.080><c> Israel's</c><00:16:07.659><c> history,</c>

00:16:08.220 --> 00:16:10.440
and<00:16:08.980><c> unfortunately,</c>

00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.299
they<00:16:11.059><c> didn't</c><00:16:11.360><c> take</c><00:16:11.700><c> advantage</c><00:16:12.299><c> of</c><00:16:12.539><c> the</c><00:16:12.700><c> well</c><00:16:12.799><c> of</c><00:16:13.059><c> life</c>

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.960
a<00:16:22.179><c> master</c><00:16:22.539><c> in</c><00:16:22.759><c> Israel</c><00:16:23.179><c> who</c><00:16:24.360><c> didn't</c><00:16:24.600><c> have</c><00:16:24.860><c> a</c><00:16:25.100><c> clue</c>

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:28.220
what<00:16:26.240><c> it</c><00:16:26.460><c> meant</c><00:16:26.639><c> to</c><00:16:26.860><c> be</c><00:16:27.019><c> born</c><00:16:27.179><c> again,</c>

00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.840
And<00:16:31.120><c> yet</c><00:16:31.279><c> in</c><00:16:31.419><c> John</c><00:16:31.620><c> chapter</c><00:16:31.940><c> 4,</c><00:16:32.539><c> you've</c><00:16:32.759><c> got</c><00:16:32.899><c> a</c><00:16:33.120><c> Gentile</c>

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:40.399

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.659
Israel<00:16:42.580><c> never</c><00:16:42.980><c> seemed</c><00:16:43.220><c> to</c><00:16:43.500><c> learn</c><00:16:44.019><c> the</c><00:16:44.639><c> lesson.</c>

00:16:47.299 --> 00:16:52.980
So<00:16:47.720><c> in</c><00:16:48.379><c> this</c><00:16:48.659><c> little</c><00:16:48.980><c> history</c><00:16:50.379><c> section</c><00:16:51.399><c> of</c><00:16:51.919><c> Israel,</c>

00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:57.980
we're<00:16:54.139><c> told</c><00:16:54.379><c> that</c><00:16:55.679><c> one</c><00:16:55.940><c> day</c><00:16:56.159><c> Israel</c><00:16:56.559><c> will</c><00:16:56.840><c> be</c><00:16:57.080><c> healed.</c>

00:16:58.779 --> 00:17:00.700
God<00:16:59.019><c> will</c><00:16:59.279><c> be</c><00:16:59.519><c> their</c><00:16:59.740><c> healer.</c>

00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:03.120
It's<00:17:01.320><c> a</c><00:17:01.500><c> healing</c><00:17:01.740><c> which</c><00:17:02.059><c> only</c><00:17:02.360><c> God</c><00:17:02.580><c> can</c><00:17:02.899><c> do.</c>

00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.920
I,<00:17:09.700><c> even</c><00:17:09.839><c> I,</c><00:17:10.920><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:17:11.420><c> 32</c><00:17:12.000><c> verse</c><00:17:12.599><c> 39,</c>

00:17:14.019 --> 00:17:16.559
even<00:17:14.319><c> I</c><00:17:14.660><c> am</c><00:17:14.859><c> he,</c><00:17:15.200><c> and</c><00:17:15.279><c> there</c><00:17:15.519><c> is</c><00:17:15.700><c> no</c><00:17:15.880><c> God</c><00:17:16.079><c> with</c><00:17:16.319><c> me.</c>

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:21.599
I<00:17:17.039><c> kill,</c><00:17:17.920><c> I</c><00:17:18.160><c> make</c><00:17:18.500><c> alive,</c><00:17:19.200><c> I</c><00:17:19.500><c> wound,</c><00:17:20.240><c> and</c><00:17:20.440><c> I</c><00:17:20.700><c> heal.</c>

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.940
Neither<00:17:21.960><c> is</c><00:17:22.240><c> there</c><00:17:22.420><c> any</c><00:17:22.640><c> that</c><00:17:22.819><c> can</c><00:17:23.059><c> deliver</c><00:17:23.359><c> out</c><00:17:23.660><c> of</c><00:17:23.859><c> my</c><00:17:24.140><c> hand.</c>

00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.480
So<00:17:25.680><c> God</c><00:17:25.920><c> brings</c><00:17:26.319><c> us</c><00:17:26.579><c> through</c><00:17:26.859><c> bitterness,</c>

00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:33.940
but<00:17:28.740><c> He</c><00:17:28.960><c> also</c><00:17:29.359><c> does</c><00:17:29.559><c> it</c><00:17:30.859><c> for</c><00:17:31.420><c> the</c><00:17:31.539><c> purpose</c><00:17:31.940><c> of</c><00:17:32.460><c> healing</c><00:17:32.779><c> us.</c>

00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:37.279
And<00:17:34.740><c> one</c><00:17:35.000><c> of</c><00:17:35.119><c> the</c><00:17:35.339><c> remarkable</c><00:17:35.859><c> things</c><00:17:36.380><c> I</c><00:17:36.859><c> found</c>

00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.759
When<00:17:43.480><c> Joseph</c><00:17:43.900><c> had</c><00:17:44.140><c> gone</c><00:17:44.259><c> through</c><00:17:44.559><c> all</c><00:17:44.900><c> that</c><00:17:45.240><c> bitterness</c>

00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:54.519
but<00:17:51.200><c> God</c><00:17:51.440><c> did</c><00:17:51.640><c> it</c><00:17:51.799><c> for</c><00:17:51.980><c> you,</c><00:17:53.279><c> to</c><00:17:53.400><c> His</c><00:17:53.579><c> brethren.</c>

00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:59.839
God<00:17:55.680><c> brought</c><00:17:56.019><c> me</c><00:17:56.420><c> through</c><00:17:56.839><c> this</c><00:17:57.539><c> to</c><00:17:58.140><c> preserve</c><00:17:58.579><c> life.</c>

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:04.000
So<00:18:01.200><c> God</c><00:18:01.519><c> in</c><00:18:01.680><c> His</c><00:18:01.920><c> foreknowledge</c><00:18:02.859><c> picked</c><00:18:03.240><c> a</c><00:18:03.500><c> man</c>

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.019
God<00:18:12.319><c> is</c><00:18:12.559><c> the</c><00:18:12.700><c> ultimate</c><00:18:13.140><c> healer,</c><00:18:14.079><c> and</c><00:18:14.359><c> He's</c><00:18:14.579><c> done</c><00:18:14.779><c> it</c>

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:43.960

00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:07.480
It<00:36:04.039><c> is</c><00:36:04.960><c> so</c><00:36:05.260><c> easy,</c><00:36:05.659><c> isn't</c><00:36:05.780><c> it,</c><00:36:06.079><c> brothers</c><00:36:06.219><c> and</c><00:36:06.480><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:14.440
of<00:36:12.659><c> life's</c><00:36:13.219><c> experience</c><00:36:13.679><c> at</c><00:36:14.000><c> times.</c>

00:36:14.940 --> 00:36:18.239
We<00:36:15.820><c> just</c><00:36:16.079><c> become</c><00:36:16.380><c> overwhelmed</c><00:36:17.260><c> by</c><00:36:17.659><c> it.</c>

00:36:18.699 --> 00:36:23.360
And<00:36:18.980><c> that's</c><00:36:19.559><c> the</c><00:36:21.400><c> situation</c><00:36:22.019><c> that</c><00:36:22.239><c> we're</c><00:36:22.480><c> faced</c><00:36:22.760><c> with</c>

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:26.300
in<00:36:23.780><c> Psalm</c><00:36:24.260><c> 42.</c>

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:32.619
Just<00:36:29.679><c> listen</c><00:36:29.920><c> to</c><00:36:30.119><c> the</c><00:36:30.260><c> words</c><00:36:30.579><c> of</c><00:36:30.840><c> Psalm</c><00:36:31.079><c> 42.</c>

00:36:33.059 --> 00:36:34.480
Ponder<00:36:33.119><c> what</c><00:36:33.340><c> it</c><00:36:33.480><c> has</c><00:36:33.780><c> to</c><00:36:34.000><c> say.</c>

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:40.760
We're<00:36:34.980><c> going</c><00:36:35.139><c> to</c><00:36:36.880><c> break</c><00:36:37.199><c> in</c><00:36:38.460><c> at</c><00:36:38.860><c> verse</c><00:36:39.059><c> 5.</c>

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:50.920
Why<00:36:46.880><c> art</c><00:36:47.179><c> thou</c><00:36:47.460><c> cast</c><00:36:47.840><c> down,</c><00:36:49.340><c> O</c><00:36:49.500><c> my</c><00:36:49.840><c> soul?</c>

00:36:51.900 --> 00:36:55.659
Why<00:36:52.460><c> art</c><00:36:52.780><c> thou</c><00:36:53.039><c> disquieted</c><00:36:54.039><c> in</c><00:36:54.280><c> me?</c>

00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.159
We<00:36:58.199><c> feel</c><00:36:58.460><c> sorry</c><00:36:58.719><c> for</c><00:36:59.000><c> ourselves,</c><00:36:59.559><c> don't</c><00:36:59.639><c> we?</c>

00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:02.519
So<00:37:00.860><c> many</c><00:37:01.139><c> times.</c>

00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.679
And<00:37:04.039><c> we've</c><00:37:04.300><c> become</c><00:37:04.559><c> sort</c><00:37:04.800><c> of</c>

00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.500
so<00:37:07.079><c> consumed</c><00:37:07.619><c> by</c><00:37:07.900><c> our</c><00:37:08.119><c> own</c><00:37:08.320><c> problems.</c>

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:12.760
Hope<00:37:11.219><c> thou</c><00:37:11.500><c> in</c><00:37:11.699><c> God,</c>

00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:14.820
for<00:37:13.460><c> I</c><00:37:13.679><c> shall</c><00:37:13.860><c> yet</c><00:37:14.139><c> praise</c><00:37:14.480><c> Him</c>

00:37:14.820 --> 00:37:17.380
for<00:37:15.000><c> the</c><00:37:15.239><c> help</c><00:37:15.440><c> of</c><00:37:15.639><c> His</c><00:37:15.840><c> countenance.</c>

00:37:17.699 --> 00:37:21.679
O<00:37:18.260><c> my</c><00:37:18.599><c> God,</c><00:37:18.860><c> my</c><00:37:19.139><c> soul</c><00:37:19.400><c> is</c><00:37:19.679><c> cast</c><00:37:20.000><c> down</c><00:37:20.219><c> within</c><00:37:20.500><c> me.</c>

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:23.239
Therefore<00:37:22.139><c> will</c><00:37:22.380><c> I</c><00:37:22.619><c> remember</c><00:37:22.980><c> thee</c>

Yet<00:37:37.320><c> Yahweh</c><00:37:37.880><c> will</c><00:37:38.199><c> command</c>

00:37:38.579 --> 00:37:41.039

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:42.599
It's<00:38:40.199><c> the</c><00:38:40.380><c> Psalm</c><00:38:40.639><c> of</c><00:38:40.920><c> Moses,</c><00:38:41.380><c> isn't</c><00:38:41.699><c> it?</c>

00:38:42.940 --> 00:38:44.380
I<00:38:43.179><c> hadn't</c><00:38:43.739><c> sort</c><00:38:43.880><c> of</c><00:38:44.099><c> intended</c>
