I<00:05:15.800><c> even</c><00:05:16.019><c> delivered</c><00:05:16.300><c> you</c><00:05:16.439><c> to</c><00:05:16.540><c> the</c><00:05:16.699><c> hand</c><00:05:16.860><c> of</c><00:05:17.180><c> Saul.</c>

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.660
I<00:05:18.259><c> gave</c><00:05:18.500><c> you</c><00:05:18.699><c> your</c><00:05:18.959><c> master's</c><00:05:19.379><c> house</c><00:05:19.480><c> and</c><00:05:19.879><c> your</c><00:05:20.079><c> master's</c><00:05:20.680><c> wives,</c><00:05:21.439><c> an</c>

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.740
And<00:05:24.399><c> I</c><00:05:24.639><c> gave</c><00:05:24.800><c> you</c><00:05:25.060><c> the</c><00:05:25.319><c> house</c><00:05:25.560><c> of</c><00:05:25.759><c> Israel.</c>

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.680
And<00:05:28.079><c> then</c><00:05:28.259><c> he</c><00:05:28.399><c> adds,</c><00:05:28.639><c> I</c><00:05:28.779><c> would</c><00:05:28.959><c> have</c><00:05:29.019><c> given</c><00:05:29.180><c> you</c><00:05:29.339><c> much</c><00:05:29.620><c> more.</c>

00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:32.819
More<00:05:32.180><c> of</c><00:05:32.339><c> all</c><00:05:32.639><c> this?</c>

00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:33.540
More<00:05:33.180><c> kingdoms?</c>

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:34.639
Well,<00:05:33.939><c> he</c><00:05:34.100><c> did,</c><00:05:34.459><c> didn't</c><00:05:34.540><c> he?</c>

00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:36.279
He<00:05:34.819><c> threw</c><00:05:34.839><c> Solomon</c><00:05:35.180><c> eventually.</c>

00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:38.540
Solomon<00:05:36.699><c> pushed</c><00:05:37.060><c> the</c><00:05:37.220><c> borders</c><00:05:37.439><c> of</c><00:05:37.600><c> the</c><00:05:37.720><c> land.</c>

Out<00:05:39.040><c> of</c><00:05:39.180><c> more</c><00:05:39.420><c> enemies?</c>

00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:41.939
Yes,<00:05:40.160><c> he</c><00:05:40.360><c> got</c><00:05:40.540><c> out</c><00:05:40.680><c> of</c><00:05:40.800><c> more</c><00:05:40.980><c> enemies.</c>

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.240
The<00:05:43.240><c> Philistines</c><00:05:43.800><c> were</c><00:05:44.000><c> subdued,</c><00:05:44.759><c> others</c><00:05:45.139><c> as</c><00:05:45.439><c> well.</c>

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.680
The<00:05:48.240><c> master's</c><00:05:48.879><c> house,</c><00:05:52.180><c> Saul's</c><00:05:52.519><c> house.</c>

00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:58.439
And<00:05:54.360><c> he</c><00:05:54.480><c> was</c><00:05:54.720><c> generous</c><00:05:55.000><c> in</c><00:05:55.259><c> spirit</c><00:05:55.439><c> because</c><00:05:55.800><c> of</c><00:05:55.939><c> that</c><00:05:56.139><c> to</c><00:05:56.339><c> Saul's</c><00:05:56.860><c> children</c><00:05:57.120><c> and</c><00:05:57.439><c> grandchildren.</c>

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.100
But<00:06:00.240><c> added</c><00:06:00.500><c> much</c><00:06:00.839><c> more?</c>

00:06:01.180 --> 00:06:02.699
You<00:06:01.300><c> mean</c><00:06:01.459><c> more</c><00:06:01.759><c> wives?</c>

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.000
Yes.

00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:04.720
All<00:06:04.319><c> of</c><00:06:04.519><c> that.</c>

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:06.379
Much,<00:06:05.180><c> much</c><00:06:05.420><c> more.</c>

00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.620
What<00:06:07.100><c> was</c><00:06:07.360><c> David's</c><00:06:07.720><c> reaction</c><00:06:08.139><c> to</c><00:06:08.439><c> the</c><00:06:08.720><c> generosity</c><00:06:09.300><c> of</c><00:06:09.519><c> the</c>

00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:10.860
Almighty<00:06:09.899><c> himself?</c>

00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:16.740
Well,<00:06:11.740><c> again,</c><00:06:13.079><c> Nathan</c><00:06:13.360><c> reveals</c><00:06:14.740><c> the</c><00:06:15.519><c> implication.</c>

00:06:17.420 --> 00:06:20.379
And<00:06:17.680><c> this</c><00:06:17.920><c> is</c><00:06:18.160><c> the</c><00:06:18.399><c> sadness</c><00:06:18.720><c> that</c><00:06:19.000><c> we</c><00:06:19.259><c> read</c><00:06:19.459><c> when</c><00:06:19.600><c> we</c><00:06:19.879><c> come</c><00:06:20.160><c> to</c>

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:27.379
at<00:06:23.480><c> how</c><00:06:23.920><c> David</c><00:06:24.339><c> responded</c><00:06:25.300><c> to</c><00:06:26.000><c> the</c><00:06:26.360><c> graciousness</c><00:06:26.920><c> that</c><00:06:27.139><c> God</c>

00:06:27.379 --> 00:06:28.920
had<00:06:27.639><c> given</c><00:06:27.819><c> him</c><00:06:28.060><c> through</c><00:06:28.259><c> the</c><00:06:28.560><c> anointing</c>

00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.319
This<00:06:32.259><c> is</c><00:06:32.500><c> what.</c>

00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:36.399
Do<00:06:34.180><c> we</c><00:06:34.339><c> see</c><00:06:34.540><c> ourselves</c><00:06:35.040><c> in</c><00:06:35.259><c> any</c><00:06:35.360><c> of</c><00:06:35.480><c> this</c><00:06:35.620><c> picture?</c>

00:06:36.939 --> 00:06:39.399
We've<00:06:37.519><c> been</c><00:06:37.680><c> given</c><00:06:37.980><c> the</c><00:06:38.379><c> kingdom.</c>

00:06:40.620 --> 00:06:45.240
We've<00:06:41.060><c> been</c><00:06:41.660><c> anointed</c><00:06:42.139><c> in</c><00:06:42.360><c> many</c><00:06:42.620><c> ways,</c><00:06:43.459><c> blessed</c><00:06:43.699><c> by</c><00:06:43.920><c> the</c><00:06:44.139><c> Spirit</c><00:06:44.420><c> in</c>

00:06:47.980 --> 00:06:53.740
And<00:06:48.139><c> David,</c><00:06:49.720><c> God</c><00:06:49.980><c> tells</c><00:06:50.300><c> him,</c><00:06:51.300><c> you</c><00:06:51.519><c> David,</c><00:06:52.259><c> despised</c><00:06:52.819><c> my</c><00:06:53.259><c> word</c>

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.040
that<00:06:59.379><c> he</c><00:06:59.620><c> points</c><00:06:59.860><c> out.</c>

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:07.459
You<00:07:02.339><c> smelt,</c><00:07:02.920><c> smit</c><00:07:03.740><c> or</c><00:07:04.180><c> smote</c><00:07:05.259><c> Uriah</c><00:07:05.720><c> the</c><00:07:05.819><c> Hittite</c><00:07:06.139><c> with</c><00:07:06.360><c> the</c><00:07:06.600><c> sword.</c>

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:13.600
You<00:07:09.819><c> took</c><00:07:10.040><c> his</c><00:07:10.319><c> wife</c><00:07:10.959><c> to</c><00:07:12.019><c> be</c><00:07:12.220><c> your</c><00:07:12.459><c> wife.</c>

00:07:14.339 --> 00:07:15.220
That's<00:07:14.600><c> before</c><00:07:14.779><c> they</c><00:07:14.899><c> were</c><00:07:15.040><c> married.</c>

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.959
That's<00:07:15.540><c> the</c><00:07:15.600><c> point,</c><00:07:15.839><c> isn't</c><00:07:15.980><c> it?</c>

00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.939
You<00:07:17.920><c> combined</c><00:07:18.339><c> yourself</c><00:07:18.779><c> in</c><00:07:19.100><c> one</c><00:07:19.339><c> flesh</c><00:07:19.819><c> with</c><00:07:20.360><c> another</c><00:07:20.600><c> man's</c>

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.660
And<00:07:25.120><c> then</c><00:07:25.399><c> not</c><00:07:25.639><c> only</c><00:07:25.860><c> did</c><00:07:26.019><c> you</c><00:07:26.259><c> compound</c><00:07:26.759><c> that,</c><00:07:27.199><c> you</c><00:07:27.420><c> slay</c><00:07:27.540><c> him</c>

00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:30.060
yourself.

00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:31.379
You<00:07:30.360><c> used</c><00:07:30.540><c> someone</c><00:07:30.899><c> else.</c>

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.420
You<00:07:31.779><c> got</c><00:07:32.040><c> them</c><00:07:32.300><c> involved</c><00:07:32.699><c> in</c><00:07:32.860><c> your</c><00:07:33.060><c> sin,</c><00:07:33.920><c> too.</c>

00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:40.480
We<00:07:37.180><c> might</c><00:07:37.399><c> use</c><00:07:37.759><c> the</c><00:07:38.139><c> saying,</c><00:07:38.759><c> give</c><00:07:38.800><c> your</c><00:07:39.000><c> head</c><00:07:39.139><c> a</c><00:07:39.360><c> shake,</c><00:07:39.500><c> David.</c>

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.420
And<00:07:42.199><c> he's</c><00:07:42.439><c> about</c><00:07:42.759><c> to</c><00:07:43.160><c> shake</c><00:07:43.279><c> his</c><00:07:43.540><c> head.</c>

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:54.740
Well,<00:07:48.439><c> let's</c><00:07:48.699><c> go</c><00:07:48.939><c> now</c><00:07:49.199><c> to</c><00:07:49.720><c> Psalm</c><00:07:50.060><c> 6,</c><00:07:50.720><c> if</c><00:07:50.839><c> we</c><00:07:51.019><c> may,</c><00:07:52.120><c> and</c><00:07:52.420><c> just</c><00:07:53.500><c> look</c><00:07:54.540><c> at</c>

00:07:57.620 --> 00:08:02.660
It's<00:07:58.079><c> a</c><00:07:58.220><c> psalm</c><00:07:59.560><c> of</c><00:08:00.100><c> trust</c><00:08:00.759><c> and</c><00:08:01.660><c> trouble.</c>

00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.180
Well,<00:08:03.399><c> maybe</c><00:08:03.620><c> it</c><00:08:03.699><c> should</c><00:08:03.860><c> be</c><00:08:03.959><c> the</c><00:08:03.959><c> other</c><00:08:04.139><c> way</c><00:08:04.319><c> around,</c><00:08:04.560><c> trouble</c><00:08:04.939><c> and</c><00:08:05.199><c> trust.</c>

00:08:06.779 --> 00:08:12.560
It's<00:08:06.939><c> a</c><00:08:07.100><c> psalm</c><00:08:07.540><c> which</c><00:08:08.939><c> David</c><00:08:09.339><c> uses</c><00:08:09.740><c> to</c><00:08:10.279><c> recognize</c><00:08:11.360><c> God's</c><00:08:12.139><c> hand</c>

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:35.399
I<00:09:33.299><c> am</c><00:09:33.639><c> weary</c><00:09:34.000><c> with</c><00:09:34.379><c> my</c><00:09:34.779><c> moaning.</c>

00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.759
So<00:09:41.019><c> it's</c><00:09:42.220><c> the</c><00:09:42.419><c> bed</c><00:09:42.559><c> at</c><00:09:42.799><c> night</c><00:09:43.000><c> and</c><00:09:43.179><c> the</c><00:09:43.379><c> couch</c><00:09:43.559><c> in</c><00:09:43.720><c> the</c><00:09:43.860><c> daytime.</c>

00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:53.059
He<00:09:45.480><c> cannot</c><00:09:46.139><c> stop</c><00:09:47.820><c> crying,</c><00:09:51.480><c> shedding</c><00:09:51.740><c> tears,</c>

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:56.840
rather<00:09:53.679><c> than</c><00:09:53.960><c> drinking</c><00:09:54.279><c> in</c><00:09:55.379><c> the</c><00:09:55.759><c> moisture</c><00:09:56.080><c> of</c><00:09:56.200><c> God's</c><00:09:56.580><c> words.</c>

00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.220
He's<00:09:57.600><c> pouring</c><00:09:57.919><c> out</c><00:09:58.200><c> his</c><00:09:58.480><c> soul</c><00:09:58.980><c> in</c><00:09:59.639><c> wretched</c><00:09:59.940><c> humiliation.</c>

00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:05.279
My<00:10:02.179><c> eyes</c><00:10:02.539><c> waste</c><00:10:02.940><c> away</c><00:10:03.639><c> because</c><00:10:04.379><c> of</c><00:10:04.580><c> grief.</c>

00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:08.240
Have<00:10:05.559><c> you</c><00:10:05.639><c> ever</c><00:10:05.860><c> seen</c><00:10:06.039><c> someone</c><00:10:06.440><c> who</c><00:10:06.820><c> cries</c><00:10:07.159><c> continually?</c>

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.139
Their<00:10:08.740><c> eyes</c><00:10:08.940><c> are</c><00:10:09.220><c> red.</c>

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.659

00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.740
It<00:10:15.779><c> grows</c><00:10:16.100><c> weak</c><00:10:16.419><c> because</c><00:10:16.919><c> of</c><00:10:17.120><c> all</c><00:10:17.419><c> my</c><00:10:17.720><c> foes.</c>

00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.659
Those<00:10:23.419><c> were</c><00:10:23.620><c> the</c><00:10:23.779><c> eyes</c><00:10:24.299><c> that</c><00:10:26.039><c> looked</c><00:10:26.340><c> on</c><00:10:26.559><c> his</c><00:10:26.860><c> servant's</c><00:10:27.279><c> wife</c>

00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.879
Those<00:10:30.460><c> eyes</c><00:10:30.759><c> that</c><00:10:31.220><c> sparkled</c><00:10:31.700><c> at</c><00:10:31.879><c> one</c><00:10:32.179><c> time</c><00:10:33.039><c> with</c><00:10:33.919><c> lust.</c>

00:10:35.899 --> 00:10:40.679
Now<00:10:36.500><c> those</c><00:10:37.100><c> same</c><00:10:37.379><c> eyes</c><00:10:38.100><c> are</c><00:10:38.960><c> darkened</c><00:10:39.500><c> and</c><00:10:39.759><c> dimmed</c><00:10:40.139><c> and</c><00:10:40.379><c> red</c>

His<00:10:44.779><c> eyes</c><00:10:44.940><c> are</c><00:10:45.179><c> wasted.</c>

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.299
Now<00:10:47.779><c> his</c><00:10:48.039><c> vision</c><00:10:48.279><c> is</c><00:10:48.659><c> truly</c><00:10:48.960><c> impaired.</c>

00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:51.059
It<00:10:49.440><c> was</c><00:10:49.700><c> impaired</c><00:10:50.019><c> before.</c>

no<00:14:32.480><c> tear</c><00:14:32.860><c> falling,</c>

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:38.000
and<00:14:34.639><c> we</c><00:14:34.840><c> stand</c><00:14:35.460><c> and</c><00:14:36.600><c> sing</c><00:14:36.860><c> for</c><00:14:37.120><c> joy.</c>

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:43.799
Well,<00:14:42.440><c> David's</c><00:14:42.740><c> enemies</c><00:14:42.919><c> will</c><00:14:43.159><c> be</c><00:14:43.279><c> seduced,</c>

00:14:44.299 --> 00:14:45.620

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:49.279
Now<00:14:46.179><c> turn</c><00:14:46.460><c> to</c><00:14:46.919><c> Psalm</c><00:14:47.139><c> 38,</c><00:14:49.279><c> please.</c>

00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:53.200
And<00:14:49.700><c> we'll</c><00:14:49.899><c> pursue</c><00:14:50.200><c> the</c><00:14:51.580><c> goal</c><00:14:51.940><c> of</c><00:14:52.559><c> following</c><00:14:52.860><c> David</c>

00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:54.379
through<00:14:53.419><c> his</c><00:14:53.659><c> life</c><00:14:53.919><c> a</c><00:14:54.080><c> bit</c>

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:57.759
and<00:14:54.799><c> seeing</c><00:14:55.059><c> the</c><00:14:55.279><c> progress</c><00:14:55.620><c> that</c><00:14:55.840><c> he</c><00:14:55.940><c> has</c><00:14:56.159><c> made.</c>

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.220
Just<00:15:10.799><c> go</c><00:15:10.960><c> back</c><00:15:11.220><c> and</c><00:15:11.419><c> refresh,</c><00:15:12.320><c> will</c><00:15:12.320><c> you,</c>

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:14.580

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:17.840
what<00:15:14.759><c> I</c><00:15:15.019><c> see</c><00:15:15.320><c> as</c><00:15:15.600><c> being</c><00:15:15.779><c> the</c><00:15:15.980><c> issues</c><00:15:16.200><c> in</c><00:15:16.460><c> Psalm</c><00:15:16.580><c> 38</c><00:15:16.980><c> anyways.</c>

00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.759
This<00:15:19.039><c> psalm,</c><00:15:19.379><c> I</c><00:15:19.419><c> think,</c><00:15:19.639><c> is</c><00:15:19.799><c> even</c><00:15:20.059><c> more</c><00:15:20.340><c> expressive</c>

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.259
of<00:15:21.100><c> David's</c><00:15:21.519><c> inner</c><00:15:21.779><c> turmoil,</c><00:15:22.519><c> his</c><00:15:22.659><c> inner</c><00:15:22.879><c> feelings,</c>

00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.720
Psalm<00:15:23.919><c> 38,</c><00:15:24.639><c> the</c><00:15:24.700><c> one</c><00:15:24.759><c> we're</c><00:15:24.899><c> dealing</c><00:15:25.080><c> with</c><00:15:25.240><c> here.</c>

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.320
And<00:15:28.919><c> although</c><00:15:29.480><c> we</c><00:15:29.799><c> have</c><00:15:30.059><c> seen</c>

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.340
that<00:15:30.460><c> he's</c><00:15:30.940><c> wrestled</c><00:15:31.200><c> with</c><00:15:31.399><c> this</c><00:15:31.679><c> problem</c><00:15:31.960><c> day</c><00:15:32.259><c> and</c><00:15:32.419><c> night,</c>

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:35.820
I<00:15:34.159><c> want</c><00:15:34.360><c> you</c><00:15:34.519><c> to</c><00:15:34.700><c> turn</c><00:15:34.940><c> to,</c>

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.080
well,<00:15:36.200><c> verse</c><00:15:36.419><c> 1,</c><00:15:36.820><c> via</c><00:15:36.980><c> 38,</c>

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.139
links<00:15:38.639><c> the</c><00:15:38.840><c> two</c><00:15:39.019><c> Psalms</c><00:15:39.259><c> together,</c><00:15:39.659><c> in</c><00:15:39.799><c> my</c><00:15:39.960><c> view.</c>

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:42.080
The<00:15:40.519><c> opening</c><00:15:40.700><c> words</c><00:15:40.980><c> are</c><00:15:41.240><c> identical.</c>

00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:43.980
Oh,<00:15:42.480><c> Lord,</c><00:15:42.860><c> rebuke</c><00:15:43.059><c> me</c><00:15:43.240><c> not</c><00:15:43.440><c> in</c><00:15:43.539><c> thy</c><00:15:43.720><c> anger,</c>

00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:46.000
or<00:15:44.340><c> chasten</c><00:15:44.620><c> me</c><00:15:44.879><c> in</c><00:15:45.019><c> thy</c><00:15:45.159><c> wrath.</c>

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:50.019
Obviously,<00:15:48.179><c> God</c><00:15:48.419><c> does</c><00:15:48.720><c> do</c><00:15:48.940><c> that,</c>

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:52.320
and<00:15:50.559><c> David</c><00:15:50.720><c> didn't</c><00:15:50.960><c> want</c><00:15:51.080><c> it</c><00:15:51.240><c> to</c><00:15:51.419><c> happen.</c>

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:56.980
But<00:15:52.960><c> notice</c><00:15:53.240><c> what</c><00:15:53.399><c> he</c><00:15:53.559><c> goes</c><00:15:53.700><c> on</c><00:15:53.899><c> to</c><00:15:54.159><c> talk</c><00:15:54.379><c> about</c><00:15:55.000><c> in</c><00:15:55.480><c> verse</c><00:15:55.759><c> 3.</c>

00:15:57.179 --> 00:16:00.799
There<00:15:57.740><c> is</c><00:15:57.980><c> no</c><00:15:58.519><c> soundness</c><00:15:59.120><c> in</c><00:15:59.240><c> my</c><00:15:59.580><c> flesh</c>

00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:04.679
because<00:16:02.460><c> of</c><00:16:02.820><c> thy</c><00:16:03.100><c> indignation.</c>

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:06.899
There<00:16:05.500><c> is</c><00:16:05.740><c> no</c><00:16:05.960><c> health</c><00:16:06.200><c> in</c><00:16:06.460><c> my</c><00:16:06.740><c> bones.</c>

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:08.960
Now,<00:16:07.080><c> he</c><00:16:07.179><c> made</c><00:16:07.340><c> this</c><00:16:07.580><c> point</c><00:16:07.700><c> in</c><00:16:07.860><c> Psalm</c><00:16:08.039><c> 6,</c><00:16:08.399><c> too.</c>

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.899
But<00:16:09.360><c> it's</c><00:16:09.600><c> because</c><00:16:09.940><c> of</c><00:16:10.139><c> my</c><00:16:10.419><c> sin,</c><00:16:10.659><c> he</c><00:16:10.919><c> says,</c>

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.320
for<00:16:13.019><c> my</c><00:16:13.340><c> iniquities</c><00:16:13.639><c> have</c><00:16:13.799><c> gone</c><00:16:14.000><c> over</c><00:16:14.320><c> my</c><00:16:14.639><c> head.</c>

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:19.820
They're<00:16:16.340><c> hanging</c><00:16:16.600><c> over</c><00:16:16.899><c> him</c><00:16:17.139><c> like</c><00:16:17.500><c> a</c><00:16:17.820><c> black</c><00:16:18.200><c> cloud,</c><00:16:18.539><c> as</c><00:16:18.740><c> it</c><00:16:18.899><c> were.</c>

00:16:20.179 --> 00:16:24.100
They<00:16:20.740><c> weigh</c><00:16:21.299><c> like</c><00:16:21.700><c> a</c><00:16:21.960><c> burden</c><00:16:22.240><c> too</c><00:16:22.659><c> heavy</c><00:16:22.899><c> for</c><00:16:23.159><c> me.</c>

00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.019
Take<00:16:26.440><c> my</c><00:16:27.080><c> yoke</c><00:16:27.500><c> upon</c><00:16:27.940><c> you,</c>

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:32.340
for<00:16:29.440><c> my</c><00:16:29.759><c> burden</c><00:16:30.000><c> is</c><00:16:30.279><c> light,</c><00:16:30.539><c> says</c><00:16:30.720><c> the</c><00:16:30.940><c> Master</c><00:16:31.220><c> himself.</c>

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:35.000
And<00:16:33.419><c> my</c><00:16:33.580><c> yoke</c><00:16:33.840><c> is</c><00:16:34.039><c> easy.</c>

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.700
Did<00:16:36.080><c> David</c><00:16:36.399><c> see</c><00:16:36.740><c> that?</c>

00:16:38.019 --> 00:16:43.899
Was<00:16:38.279><c> Jesus</c><00:16:39.139><c> dragging</c><00:16:39.820><c> us</c><00:16:40.139><c> back</c><00:16:40.460><c> to</c><00:16:40.679><c> this</c><00:16:40.860><c> chapter</c><00:16:41.299><c> in</c><00:16:42.279><c> the</c><00:16:43.000><c> Psalms</c>

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:46.659
and<00:16:44.259><c> reminding</c><00:16:44.679><c> us</c><00:16:44.960><c> of</c><00:16:45.059><c> what</c><00:16:45.279><c> God</c><00:16:45.679><c> has</c><00:16:45.919><c> been</c><00:16:46.059><c> able</c><00:16:46.320><c> to</c><00:16:46.519><c> do,</c>

00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:49.799
has<00:16:46.940><c> done</c><00:16:47.259><c> for</c><00:16:47.639><c> people</c><00:16:47.980><c> like</c><00:16:48.220><c> David,</c><00:16:49.179><c> and</c><00:16:49.320><c> telling</c><00:16:49.480><c> us,</c>

00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.840
Here's<00:16:50.220><c> an</c><00:16:50.419><c> example</c><00:16:50.759><c> of</c><00:16:50.919><c> how</c><00:16:52.100><c> the</c><00:16:52.440><c> burden</c><00:16:52.659><c> is</c><00:16:52.940><c> lifted.</c>

00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.960
Let's<00:16:54.559><c> continue</c><00:16:54.919><c> in</c><00:16:55.080><c> verse</c><00:16:55.279><c> 5,</c><00:16:55.840><c> please,</c>

00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:58.919
and<00:16:56.299><c> look</c><00:16:56.600><c> at</c><00:16:56.799><c> David's</c><00:16:57.240><c> physical</c><00:16:57.740><c> condition.</c>

00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.839
My<00:16:59.860><c> wounds</c><00:17:00.340><c> grow</c><00:17:00.759><c> foul</c><00:17:01.220><c> and</c><00:17:01.700><c> fester</c><00:17:02.120><c> because</c><00:17:02.759><c> of</c><00:17:03.080><c> my</c><00:17:03.440><c> foolishness.</c>

00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.460
I<00:17:05.519><c> must</c><00:17:05.700><c> bow</c><00:17:06.180><c> down</c><00:17:06.839><c> and</c><00:17:07.240><c> prostrate.</c>

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:11.079
That<00:17:09.140><c> means</c><00:17:09.339><c> he's</c><00:17:09.839><c> flat</c><00:17:10.019><c> out.</c>

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.559
All<00:17:11.660><c> the</c><00:17:11.819><c> day</c><00:17:12.000><c> I</c><00:17:12.140><c> go</c><00:17:12.420><c> about</c><00:17:12.720><c> mourning.</c>

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.420
My<00:17:14.059><c> loins</c><00:17:14.460><c> are</c><00:17:14.720><c> filled</c><00:17:14.960><c> with</c><00:17:15.220><c> burning,</c>

00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.240
and<00:17:15.720><c> there</c><00:17:15.880><c> is</c><00:17:16.019><c> no</c><00:17:16.420><c> soundness</c><00:17:16.759><c> in</c><00:17:16.900><c> my</c><00:17:17.079><c> flesh.</c>

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.079
She<00:17:17.299><c> repeats</c><00:17:17.779><c> that</c><00:17:18.099><c> of</c><00:17:18.279><c> verse</c><00:17:18.539><c> 3.</c>

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:24.240
I<00:17:20.839><c> am</c><00:17:21.319><c> utterly</c><00:17:21.960><c> spent</c><00:17:22.740><c> and</c><00:17:23.380><c> crushed.</c>

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.559
I<00:17:24.900><c> groan</c><00:17:25.180><c> because</c><00:17:25.480><c> of</c><00:17:25.759><c> the</c><00:17:25.859><c> tumult</c><00:17:26.160><c> of</c><00:17:26.359><c> my</c><00:17:26.700><c> heart.</c>

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:30.579

It's<00:26:27.559><c> a</c><00:26:27.700><c> term</c><00:26:27.920><c> that</c><00:26:28.220><c> I</c><00:26:28.539><c> remember</c><00:26:28.740><c> as</c><00:26:28.960><c> a</c><00:26:29.119><c> kid</c><00:26:29.319><c> when</c><00:26:29.640><c> I</c><00:26:29.859><c> made</c><00:26:29.980><c> a</c><00:26:30.180><c> mistake</c><00:26:30.400><c> with</c><00:26:30.599><c> my</c>

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.880
and<00:26:31.619><c> went</c><00:26:31.839><c> in</c><00:26:32.059><c> there</c><00:26:32.299><c> and</c><00:26:32.640><c> made</c><00:26:32.940><c> a</c><00:26:33.140><c> mess</c><00:26:33.319><c> and</c><00:26:33.500><c> I</c><00:26:33.619><c> could</c><00:26:33.759><c> take</c>

00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.279
the<00:26:34.119><c> blotter</c><00:26:34.400><c> and</c><00:26:34.579><c> the</c><00:26:35.799><c> ink</c><00:26:36.019><c> was</c><00:26:36.220><c> gone.</c>

00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.339
And<00:26:38.220><c> that's</c><00:26:38.380><c> what</c><00:26:38.460><c> we're</c><00:26:38.660><c> left</c><00:26:38.819><c> with.</c>

00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:42.819
Sin<00:26:41.059><c> is</c><00:26:41.339><c> lifted.</c><00:26:42.119><c> It's</c><00:26:42.480><c> gone.</c>

00:26:42.819 --> 00:26:46.019
Erase<00:26:44.079><c> from</c><00:26:44.240><c> the</c><00:26:44.480><c> record</c><00:26:44.720><c> book.</c>

00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:50.859
God's<00:26:46.940><c> memory</c><00:26:47.319><c> has</c><00:26:47.759><c> erased</c><00:26:48.380><c> what</c><00:26:49.380><c> it</c><00:26:49.599><c> is</c><00:26:49.819><c> there.</c>

00:26:51.380 --> 00:26:55.180
Remember<00:26:51.579><c> what</c><00:26:52.579><c> David</c><00:26:53.059><c> said</c><00:26:53.720><c> through</c><00:26:54.299><c> Nathan?</c>

00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:59.400
I<00:26:56.039><c> also</c><00:26:56.400><c> have</c><00:26:56.640><c> put</c><00:26:57.119><c> away.</c><00:26:57.980><c> It's</c><00:26:58.339><c> gone</c><00:26:58.579><c> behind</c><00:26:58.960><c> my</c><00:26:59.240><c> back.</c>

00:26:59.460 --> 00:27:01.259
I<00:26:59.559><c> can't</c><00:26:59.880><c> see</c><00:27:00.119><c> it</c><00:27:00.359><c> anymore.</c>

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:11.960
And<00:27:09.940><c> then</c><00:27:10.119><c> we</c><00:27:10.259><c> go</c><00:27:10.480><c> on</c><00:27:10.619><c> to</c><00:27:10.779><c> the</c><00:27:11.000><c> washing.</c>

00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:17.740
That<00:27:13.180><c> which</c><00:27:13.640><c> does</c><00:27:14.900><c> make</c><00:27:16.779><c> white</c><00:27:17.180><c> again,</c>

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.059
as<00:27:18.500><c> no</c><00:27:18.799><c> fool</c><00:27:18.960><c> on</c><00:27:19.180><c> earth</c><00:27:19.339><c> can</c><00:27:19.559><c> make</c><00:27:19.819><c> white,</c><00:27:20.339><c> as</c><00:27:20.519><c> Jesus</c><00:27:20.859><c> talks</c><00:27:21.180><c> about.</c>

00:27:22.539 --> 00:27:27.220
It's<00:27:22.720><c> that</c><00:27:23.039><c> separation</c><00:27:23.519><c> from</c><00:27:23.779><c> sin</c><00:27:24.039><c> that</c><00:27:25.160><c> is</c><00:27:25.460><c> no</c><00:27:25.660><c> longer</c><00:27:26.099><c> covered</c><00:27:26.400><c> with</c><00:27:26.779><c> red,</c>

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:32.559
the<00:27:27.700><c> eyes</c><00:27:28.059><c> red,</c><00:27:28.740><c> the</c><00:27:28.940><c> eyelids</c><00:27:29.299><c> red,</c><00:27:31.099><c> vision</c><00:27:31.380><c> restored,</c>

00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.579
because<00:27:34.099><c> God's</c><00:27:34.619><c> Word</c><00:27:34.819><c> becomes</c><00:27:35.259><c> active</c><00:27:35.700><c> again</c><00:27:36.359><c> and</c><00:27:37.720><c> cleansed</c><00:27:38.259><c> me.</c>

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:44.099
There's<00:27:39.160><c> the</c><00:27:39.460><c> washing</c><00:27:39.819><c> again</c><00:27:40.440><c> that</c><00:27:41.160><c> results</c><00:27:41.660><c> in</c><00:27:41.960><c> a</c><00:27:42.319><c> clean</c><00:27:42.740><c> person,</c>

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:49.460
white<00:27:44.319><c> as</c><00:27:44.460><c> the</c><00:27:44.579><c> driven</c><00:27:44.740><c> snow,</c><00:27:46.940><c> making</c><00:27:47.359><c> pure</c><00:27:47.880><c> and</c><00:27:48.220><c> upright</c><00:27:48.480><c> again.</c>

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:51.700
God<00:27:50.240><c> does</c><00:27:50.480><c> that</c><00:27:50.680><c> for</c><00:27:50.839><c> us</c><00:27:51.200><c> too.</c>

00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:54.380
This<00:27:52.160><c> is</c><00:27:52.440><c> David's</c><00:27:52.900><c> message</c><00:27:53.099><c> to</c><00:27:53.339><c> us.</c>

00:27:54.380 --> 00:28:00.420
He's<00:27:54.960><c> living</c><00:27:55.339><c> proof</c><00:27:56.059><c> that</c><00:27:57.440><c> God</c><00:27:57.779><c> can</c><00:27:58.079><c> do</c><00:27:58.420><c> all</c><00:27:58.779><c> those</c><00:27:59.059><c> four</c><00:27:59.319><c> things</c><00:27:59.640><c> for</c><00:27:59.839><c> us</c>

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:03.619
and<00:28:00.740><c> make</c><00:28:00.960><c> us</c><00:28:01.259><c> stand</c><00:28:01.559><c> upright</c><00:28:02.019><c> in</c><00:28:02.160><c> His</c><00:28:02.440><c> turn.</c>

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:12.660
David<00:28:08.180><c> doesn't</c><00:28:08.500><c> use</c><00:28:08.839><c> any</c><00:28:09.839><c> of</c><00:28:10.059><c> the</c><00:28:10.460><c> funny</c><00:28:10.720><c> terms</c><00:28:11.079><c> that</c><00:28:11.259><c> we</c><00:28:11.440><c> sometimes</c><00:28:12.039><c> couch</c><00:28:12.440><c> sin</c>

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:19.160
Doesn't<00:28:14.440><c> he</c><00:28:14.640><c> refer</c><00:28:14.839><c> to</c><00:28:15.039><c> a</c><00:28:15.180><c> lapse</c><00:28:15.380><c> of</c><00:28:15.619><c> judgment</c><00:28:16.180><c> or</c><00:28:16.819><c> I</c><00:28:17.299><c> failed</c><00:28:17.559><c> on</c><00:28:17.740><c> that</c><00:28:17.920><c> issue</c><00:28:18.380><c> or</c><00:28:18.799><c> I</c>

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:20.019
was<00:28:19.440><c> weak?</c>

00:28:20.019 --> 00:28:25.859
He<00:28:21.539><c> uses</c><00:28:22.180><c> terms</c><00:28:22.880><c> which</c><00:28:23.420><c> reflect</c><00:28:23.940><c> his</c><00:28:24.240><c> understanding</c><00:28:24.779><c> that</c><00:28:25.460><c> he</c>

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:28.079
was<00:28:26.119><c> rebellious,</c><00:28:27.660><c> lawless,</c>

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:35.259

00:28:36.099 --> 00:28:41.500
And<00:28:36.240><c> yet</c><00:28:36.359><c> he</c><00:28:36.519><c> wasn't,</c><00:28:37.599><c> because</c><00:28:38.079><c> of</c><00:28:38.339><c> this</c><00:28:38.579><c> process,</c><00:28:40.039><c> for</c><00:28:40.279><c> one</c><00:28:40.579><c> thing.</c>

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:48.559
Well,<00:28:44.440><c> you</c><00:28:44.700><c> see,</c><00:28:45.559><c> he</c><00:28:45.759><c> did</c><00:28:45.960><c> something</c><00:28:46.339><c> else,</c><00:28:46.740><c> I</c><00:28:47.039><c> think.</c>

00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:57.900
He<00:28:56.960><c> confessed</c><00:28:57.400><c> his</c><00:28:57.720><c> sin.</c>

00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:00.079
Mind<00:28:58.400><c> you,</c><00:28:58.539><c> it</c><00:28:58.599><c> was</c><00:28:58.720><c> at</c><00:28:58.859><c> God's</c><00:28:59.180><c> prodding.</c>

00:29:00.099 --> 00:29:01.559
Don't<00:29:00.299><c> get</c><00:29:00.440><c> me</c><00:29:00.619><c> wrong.</c>

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:05.359
He<00:29:02.039><c> spent</c><00:29:02.279><c> something</c><00:29:02.559><c> like,</c><00:29:03.220><c> well,</c><00:29:03.980><c> between</c><00:29:04.299><c> six</c><00:29:04.519><c> and</c><00:29:04.640><c> nine</c><00:29:04.839><c> months</c>

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:10.200
in<00:29:05.900><c> this</c><00:29:06.259><c> terribly</c><00:29:06.720><c> depressed</c><00:29:07.599><c> and</c><00:29:08.420><c> almost</c><00:29:08.619><c> annihilated</c><00:29:09.279><c> state</c>

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:15.640
until<00:29:12.440><c> God's</c><00:29:13.059><c> work</c><00:29:13.200><c> with</c><00:29:13.400><c> him</c><00:29:13.920><c> bore</c><00:29:14.640><c> fruit.</c>

00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:22.059
And<00:29:16.259><c> he</c><00:29:16.420><c> then</c><00:29:16.640><c> could</c><00:29:16.799><c> go</c><00:29:17.059><c> on</c><00:29:17.279><c> to</c><00:29:17.519><c> say</c><00:29:17.960><c> in</c><00:29:19.000><c> verse</c><00:29:19.880><c> three,</c>

I<00:29:23.059><c> know</c><00:29:23.720><c> my</c><00:29:24.059><c> transgressions.</c>

00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:25.619
He's<00:29:24.799><c> always</c><00:29:25.200><c> known</c><00:29:25.380><c> them.</c>

00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:27.480
I<00:29:25.859><c> don't</c><00:29:26.019><c> think</c><00:29:26.099><c> there's</c><00:29:26.200><c> any</c><00:29:26.400><c> question</c><00:29:26.640><c> about</c><00:29:26.920><c> that.</c>

My<00:29:28.299><c> sin</c><00:29:28.460><c> is</c><00:29:28.700><c> ever</c><00:29:28.839><c> before</c><00:29:29.180><c> me,</c><00:29:30.400><c> so</c><00:29:30.539><c> that</c><00:29:30.680><c> thou</c><00:29:30.819><c> art</c><00:29:31.059><c> justified</c>

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:32.700
in<00:29:31.859><c> thy</c><00:29:32.039><c> sentence</c>

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:35.099
and<00:29:33.299><c> blameless</c><00:29:33.740><c> in</c><00:29:33.960><c> my</c><00:29:34.119><c> judgment.</c>

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:40.019
Until<00:29:36.660><c> he</c><00:29:36.940><c> finally</c><00:29:37.180><c> said,</c><00:29:37.759><c> I</c><00:29:37.819><c> acknowledge</c><00:29:38.559><c> my</c><00:29:38.980><c> sin.</c>

00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.400
I<00:29:42.640><c> confess</c><00:29:43.160><c> my</c><00:29:43.700><c> doing</c><00:29:44.079><c> of</c><00:29:44.500><c> wrong.</c>

00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:51.000

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:54.640
And<00:29:51.839><c> he</c><00:29:52.019><c> begins</c><00:29:52.359><c> the</c><00:29:52.680><c> forgiveness</c><00:29:53.019><c> as</c><00:29:53.319><c> well</c><00:29:53.519><c> of</c><00:29:53.779><c> others.</c>

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:59.200
But<00:29:56.940><c> the</c><00:29:57.099><c> last</c><00:29:57.339><c> part</c><00:29:57.559><c> is</c><00:29:57.720><c> perhaps</c><00:29:57.940><c> the</c><00:29:58.180><c> hardest</c><00:29:58.380><c> for</c><00:29:58.559><c> us</c><00:29:58.740><c> to</c><00:29:58.980><c> take.</c>

00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:02.980
We<00:30:00.019><c> can</c><00:30:00.259><c> take</c><00:30:00.480><c> God's</c><00:30:00.859><c> forgiveness</c><00:30:01.279><c> because</c><00:30:02.180><c> it</c><00:30:02.299><c> doesn't</c><00:30:02.660><c> cost</c>

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:04.519
us<00:30:03.140><c> anything,</c><00:30:03.480><c> does</c><00:30:03.559><c> it?</c>

00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:07.160
We<00:30:05.119><c> can</c><00:30:05.339><c> pray</c><00:30:05.599><c> and</c><00:30:05.799><c> the</c><00:30:05.920><c> burden's</c><00:30:06.259><c> lifted.</c>

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:08.960
And<00:30:07.799><c> Christ</c><00:30:08.019><c> did</c><00:30:08.140><c> all</c><00:30:08.339><c> the</c><00:30:08.460><c> work</c><00:30:08.579><c> for</c><00:30:08.720><c> us.</c>

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:10.380
He<00:30:09.160><c> was</c><00:30:09.319><c> the</c><00:30:09.420><c> one</c><00:30:09.519><c> who</c><00:30:09.720><c> bore</c><00:30:09.859><c> our</c><00:30:10.140><c> burden.</c>

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:12.440
He<00:30:10.779><c> was</c><00:30:10.940><c> the</c><00:30:11.019><c> one</c><00:30:11.119><c> who</c><00:30:11.259><c> died</c><00:30:11.380><c> in</c><00:30:11.579><c> the</c><00:30:11.680><c> cross</c><00:30:11.819><c> for</c><00:30:11.980><c> us.</c>

00:30:12.660 --> 00:30:17.519
And<00:30:12.819><c> we</c><00:30:12.920><c> can</c><00:30:13.119><c> live</c><00:30:13.299><c> before</c><00:30:13.640><c> him</c><00:30:14.279><c> because</c><00:30:14.960><c> we</c><00:30:16.140><c> repent,</c><00:30:16.779><c> we</c><00:30:16.920><c> confess,</c>

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:19.740
and<00:30:18.019><c> we</c><00:30:18.180><c> acknowledge</c><00:30:18.640><c> our</c><00:30:18.900><c> sin.</c>

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:25.720
But<00:30:21.099><c> the</c><00:30:21.279><c> last</c><00:30:21.619><c> part,</c><00:30:23.579><c> we</c><00:30:23.740><c> really</c><00:30:23.960><c> don't</c><00:30:24.160><c> want</c><00:30:24.359><c> that,</c><00:30:24.579><c> do</c><00:30:24.779><c> we?</c>

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:31.680
But<00:30:26.740><c> David</c><00:30:27.319><c> learned</c><00:30:27.940><c> to</c><00:30:28.339><c> accept</c><00:30:28.859><c> the</c><00:30:29.640><c> consequences</c><00:30:30.299><c> of</c><00:30:30.539><c> his</c><00:30:30.740><c> sin.</c>

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:35.299
Four<00:30:32.420><c> members</c><00:30:32.799><c> of</c><00:30:32.839><c> his</c><00:30:33.039><c> family</c><00:30:33.359><c> died</c><00:30:33.700><c> because</c><00:30:34.019><c> of</c><00:30:34.220><c> that.</c>

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:38.599
All<00:30:36.400><c> because</c><00:30:36.759><c> of</c><00:30:36.900><c> his</c><00:30:37.099><c> roving</c><00:30:37.400><c> eyes.</c>

00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.220
The<00:30:43.440><c> kingdom</c><00:30:43.680><c> was</c><00:30:43.960><c> ultimately</c><00:30:44.660><c> devastated</c><00:30:45.380><c> because</c><00:30:45.839><c> of</c><00:30:45.960><c> it,</c>

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:47.559
torn<00:30:46.559><c> apart.</c>

00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.420
The<00:30:49.039><c> consequences</c><00:30:49.460><c> of</c><00:30:49.660><c> his</c><00:30:49.859><c> sin</c><00:30:50.079><c> lived</c><00:30:50.500><c> on</c><00:30:50.839><c> for</c><00:30:51.079><c> generations.</c>

00:30:53.619 --> 00:30:57.720
I'm<00:30:54.099><c> sure</c><00:30:54.279><c> Solomon,</c><00:30:55.059><c> even</c><00:30:55.359><c> all</c><00:30:55.559><c> his</c><00:30:55.700><c> wisdom,</c><00:30:56.920><c> was</c><00:30:57.180><c> influenced</c>

00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:59.019
by<00:30:58.140><c> that</c><00:30:58.380><c> kind</c><00:30:58.640><c> of</c><00:30:58.779><c> thing.</c>

00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.079
You<00:30:59.359><c> only</c><00:30:59.480><c> have</c><00:30:59.640><c> to</c><00:30:59.700><c> look</c><00:30:59.859><c> at</c><00:31:00.000><c> the</c><00:31:00.180><c> conflict</c><00:31:00.480><c> he</c><00:31:00.640><c> had</c><00:31:00.759><c> between</c>

00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:04.140
he<00:31:01.359><c> and</c><00:31:01.839><c> his</c><00:31:02.079><c> step</c><00:31:02.220><c>-children,</c><00:31:02.759><c> step</c><00:31:02.940><c>-brothers.</c>

00:31:08.299 --> 00:31:14.599
David<00:31:08.779><c> had</c><00:31:09.259><c> utterly</c><00:31:10.160><c> scorned</c><00:31:11.519><c> or</c><00:31:11.680><c> despised</c><00:31:12.700><c> the</c><00:31:12.900><c> Word</c><00:31:13.019><c> of</c><00:31:13.160><c> God.</c>

00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:18.500
And<00:31:16.460><c> it</c><00:31:16.559><c> doesn't</c><00:31:16.859><c> do</c><00:31:17.099><c> well</c><00:31:17.299><c> if</c><00:31:17.460><c> we</c><00:31:17.640><c> do</c><00:31:17.799><c> the</c><00:31:17.940><c> same</c><00:31:18.180><c> thing.</c>

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:21.720
Somehow<00:31:19.160><c> we've</c><00:31:19.460><c> got</c><00:31:19.539><c> to</c><00:31:19.700><c> find</c><00:31:19.819><c> our</c><00:31:20.079><c> heart</c><00:31:20.279><c> to</c><00:31:20.440><c> come</c><00:31:20.700><c> back</c><00:31:21.380><c> to</c>

00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:23.380
the<00:31:21.900><c> real</c><00:31:22.119><c> issues.</c>

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.140
Well,<00:31:28.079><c> how</c><00:31:28.359><c> had</c><00:31:28.539><c> he</c><00:31:28.680><c> scorned</c><00:31:29.039><c> it?</c>

00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:31.519
And<00:31:29.299><c> I</c><00:31:29.380><c> think</c><00:31:29.460><c> it's</c><00:31:29.640><c> just</c><00:31:29.880><c> pause</c><00:31:30.160><c> here</c><00:31:30.339><c> for</c><00:31:30.539><c> a</c><00:31:30.660><c> moment.</c>

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.660
And<00:31:33.460><c> analyze</c><00:31:33.799><c> the</c><00:31:34.299><c> consequences</c><00:31:34.839><c> and</c><00:31:35.339><c> how</c><00:31:36.039><c> they</c><00:31:36.240><c> affected</c><00:31:36.619><c> us.</c>

00:31:40.660 --> 00:31:44.819
We<00:31:41.240><c> know</c><00:31:41.759><c> that</c><00:31:42.720><c> that's</c><00:31:43.940><c> true,</c><00:31:44.200><c> don't</c><00:31:44.319><c> we?</c>

00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:48.039
I<00:31:45.660><c> think</c><00:31:45.880><c> all</c><00:31:46.140><c> of</c><00:31:46.259><c> us</c><00:31:46.420><c> admit</c><00:31:46.740><c> to</c><00:31:47.000><c> that.</c>

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:54.299
But<00:31:49.019><c> sometimes</c><00:31:49.359><c> we</c><00:31:49.519><c> don't</c><00:31:49.799><c> really</c><00:31:50.099><c> realize</c><00:31:50.599><c> how</c><00:31:53.019><c> God</c><00:31:53.440><c> works</c>

00:31:54.299 --> 00:31:57.940
to<00:31:55.819><c> help</c><00:31:56.039><c> us</c><00:31:56.339><c> avoid</c><00:31:56.779><c> that</c><00:31:57.119><c> sin.</c>

00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.240
We<00:31:59.039><c> tend</c><00:31:59.200><c> to</c><00:31:59.279><c> think</c><00:31:59.400><c> we</c><00:31:59.559><c> do</c><00:31:59.720><c> it</c><00:31:59.779><c> ourselves,</c><00:32:01.160><c> that</c><00:32:01.519><c> we</c><00:32:01.940><c> cleanse</c>

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:02.799
our<00:32:02.539><c> mind,</c>

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:08.059
that<00:32:03.099><c> we</c><00:32:03.660><c> discipline</c><00:32:04.059><c> our</c><00:32:04.279><c> bodies</c><00:32:04.640><c> and</c><00:32:06.180><c> hold</c><00:32:06.480><c> ourselves</c><00:32:06.940><c> in</c><00:32:07.200><c> check.</c>

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.900
But<00:32:09.259><c> we</c><00:32:09.480><c> must</c><00:32:09.720><c> realize</c><00:32:10.259><c> that</c><00:32:10.460><c> we</c><00:32:10.619><c> have</c><00:32:10.799><c> a</c><00:32:10.940><c> source</c><00:32:11.160><c> of</c><00:32:11.380><c> strength,</c><00:32:12.059><c> as</c><00:32:12.240><c> others</c><00:32:12.480><c> have</c><00:32:12.720><c> had.</c>

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:16.660
Just<00:32:13.319><c> think</c><00:32:13.680><c> of</c><00:32:14.160><c> these</c><00:32:14.500><c> passages</c><00:32:15.039><c> of</c><00:32:15.660><c> Scripture.</c>

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:21.619
Here<00:32:18.960><c> is</c><00:32:19.160><c> a</c><00:32:19.299><c> man</c><00:32:19.559><c> that</c><00:32:19.859><c> I</c><00:32:20.140><c> initially</c><00:32:20.420><c> did</c><00:32:20.640><c> not</c><00:32:20.839><c> think</c><00:32:21.000><c> was</c><00:32:21.220><c> involved</c><00:32:21.480><c> in</c>

00:32:21.619 --> 00:32:22.140
God<00:32:21.799><c> at</c><00:32:22.000><c> all,</c>

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.480
and<00:32:22.339><c> yet</c><00:32:22.779><c> God</c><00:32:23.220><c> kept</c><00:32:23.680><c> him</c><00:32:24.000><c> from</c><00:32:24.339><c> sinning,</c><00:32:26.339><c> from</c><00:32:26.579><c> not</c><00:32:26.960><c> defiling</c><00:32:27.440><c> Sarah.</c>

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.480
God<00:32:32.079><c> is</c><00:32:32.400><c> active</c><00:32:32.759><c> with</c><00:32:33.019><c> those</c><00:32:33.319><c> people</c><00:32:33.599><c> who</c><00:32:33.920><c> trust</c><00:32:34.240><c> Him</c><00:32:34.980><c> and</c>

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:36.319
will<00:32:35.759><c> prevent</c><00:32:36.079><c> them.</c>

00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:41.720
So<00:32:36.880><c> can</c><00:32:37.299><c> we</c><00:32:37.519><c> not</c><00:32:37.799><c> say,</c><00:32:38.140><c> God,</c><00:32:39.339><c> be</c><00:32:39.640><c> active</c><00:32:39.900><c> in</c><00:32:40.119><c> our</c><00:32:40.299><c> lives,</c><00:32:40.599><c> help</c><00:32:40.859><c> us,</c>

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:47.180

00:32:48.259 --> 00:32:56.640
