00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.399
And<00:00:37.079><c> one</c><00:00:37.219><c> of</c><00:00:37.340><c> the</c><00:00:37.479><c> ways</c><00:00:37.700><c> we</c><00:00:37.899><c> need</c><00:00:38.060><c> to</c><00:00:38.280><c> learn</c><00:00:38.479><c> to</c><00:00:38.820><c> use</c><00:00:39.060><c> our</c><00:00:39.399><c> time</c><00:00:39.579><c> profitably</c>

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:45.100
The<00:00:43.979><c> past.</c>

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:49.219
And<00:00:46.780><c> you</c><00:00:47.140><c> might</c><00:00:47.340><c> be</c><00:00:47.579><c> rightly</c><00:00:47.799><c> thinking</c><00:00:48.060><c> to</c><00:00:48.280><c> yourself,</c>

Right.

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.120
One<00:01:10.079><c> thing</c><00:01:10.280><c> is</c><00:01:10.579><c> absolutely</c><00:01:11.299><c> certain</c><00:01:11.620><c> about</c><00:01:11.840><c> the</c><00:01:12.060><c> past.</c>

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.060
Everybody<00:01:13.620><c> has</c><00:01:13.920><c> some.</c>

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.560
Everybody<00:01:18.219><c> wants</c><00:01:18.540><c> more</c><00:01:19.319><c> as</c><00:01:20.000><c> the</c><00:01:20.260><c> alternative</c><00:01:20.680><c> is</c><00:01:20.959><c> not</c><00:01:21.140><c> worth</c>

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:22.900
thinking<00:01:21.939><c> about.</c>

00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:26.519
And<00:01:24.920><c> as</c><00:01:25.480><c> you</c><00:01:25.640><c> look</c><00:01:25.819><c> back,</c><00:01:26.299><c> brothers</c><00:01:26.299><c> and</c><00:01:26.400><c> sisters,</c>

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:42.459
Maybe<00:01:41.040><c> it's</c><00:01:41.239><c> a</c><00:01:41.340><c> big</c><00:01:41.500><c> thing.</c>

00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:44.459
Maybe<00:01:43.000><c> it's</c><00:01:43.180><c> not</c><00:01:43.359><c> a</c><00:01:43.439><c> big</c><00:01:43.620><c> thing.</c>

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:45.980
Maybe<00:01:44.780><c> it's</c><00:01:44.959><c> a</c><00:01:45.120><c> collection</c><00:01:45.340><c> of</c><00:01:45.579><c> things.</c>

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:49.079
Maybe<00:01:46.640><c> it's</c><00:01:46.859><c> just</c><00:01:47.060><c> as</c><00:01:47.260><c> simple</c><00:01:47.540><c> as</c><00:01:47.819><c> something</c><00:01:48.359><c> that</c><00:01:48.900><c> shouldn't</c>

It's<00:11:22.259><c> a</c><00:11:22.440><c> lovely</c><00:11:22.840><c> idea,</c><00:11:23.399><c> isn't</c><00:11:23.500><c> it,</c><00:11:23.820><c> there?</c>

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.559
There<00:11:24.580><c> was</c><00:11:24.759><c> a</c><00:11:24.960><c> journey</c><00:11:25.240><c> in</c><00:11:25.440><c> between</c><00:11:25.679><c> now</c><00:11:26.039><c> and</c><00:11:26.179><c> the</c><00:11:26.340><c> future</c>

00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:27.379
that<00:11:26.659><c> was</c><00:11:26.899><c> unknown.</c>

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.379
You<00:11:27.960><c> have</c><00:11:28.200><c> not</c><00:11:28.399><c> passed</c><00:11:28.820><c> this</c><00:11:29.100><c> way</c><00:11:29.340><c> before.</c>

00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.200
You<00:11:30.759><c> know,</c><00:11:30.919><c> Brensisters,</c><00:11:31.139><c> there's</c><00:11:31.320><c> often</c><00:11:31.539><c> a</c><00:11:31.720><c> fascination</c>

00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.500
with<00:11:32.379><c> the</c><00:11:32.620><c> unknown,</c><00:11:33.019><c> isn't</c><00:11:33.159><c> there?</c>

00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.139
Particularly<00:11:33.879><c> when</c><00:11:34.019><c> you're</c><00:11:34.220><c> younger.</c>

00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.100
It's<00:11:35.340><c> what</c><00:11:35.539><c> drives</c><00:11:35.860><c> us</c><00:11:36.100><c> on</c><00:11:36.360><c> sometimes,</c><00:11:36.799><c> isn't</c><00:11:36.960><c> it?</c>

00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:40.039
Sometimes<00:11:37.440><c> it</c><00:11:37.779><c> excites</c><00:11:38.120><c> us</c><00:11:38.620><c> when</c><00:11:38.779><c> we</c><00:11:38.919><c> get</c><00:11:39.059><c> younger.</c>

00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:41.100
When<00:11:40.440><c> we</c><00:11:40.639><c> get</c><00:11:40.799><c> younger?</c>

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:42.860
When<00:11:41.299><c> we</c><00:11:41.500><c> were</c><00:11:41.659><c> younger,</c><00:11:42.240><c> right?</c>

00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:45.000
Maybe<00:11:43.299><c> that's</c><00:11:43.480><c> true</c><00:11:43.639><c> for</c><00:11:43.799><c> some</c><00:11:43.960><c> of</c><00:11:44.120><c> you.</c>

00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:50.100
However,<00:11:47.559><c> normally,</c><00:11:48.440><c> even</c><00:11:48.659><c> that</c><00:11:48.879><c> fascination</c><00:11:49.480><c> with</c><00:11:49.679><c> the</c><00:11:49.860><c> unknown</c>

00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:53.559
is<00:11:50.399><c> mixed</c><00:11:50.759><c> with</c><00:11:51.279><c> a</c><00:11:51.720><c> feeling</c><00:11:52.000><c> of</c><00:11:52.299><c> doubt</c><00:11:52.639><c> or</c><00:11:52.919><c> uncertainty,</c>

00:11:53.779 --> 00:11:55.600
whether<00:11:53.980><c> we're</c><00:11:54.220><c> up</c><00:11:54.379><c> to</c><00:11:54.500><c> what</c><00:11:54.659><c> lies</c><00:11:54.919><c> before</c><00:11:55.340><c> us.</c>

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:56.639
What<00:11:55.980><c> will</c><00:11:56.120><c> it</c><00:11:56.220><c> be</c><00:11:56.419><c> like?</c>

00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:57.639
Can<00:11:56.940><c> I</c><00:11:57.139><c> do</c><00:11:57.320><c> it?</c>

00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.720
Will<00:11:58.039><c> I</c><00:11:58.220><c> be</c><00:11:58.360><c> up</c><00:11:58.480><c> to</c><00:11:58.639><c> the</c><00:11:58.840><c> task?</c>

00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:00.659
Will<00:12:00.000><c> I</c><00:12:00.179><c> be</c><00:12:00.419><c> equipped?</c>

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:02.179
Will<00:12:00.960><c> I</c><00:12:01.139><c> be</c><00:12:01.360><c> able?</c>

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.080
Will<00:12:02.840><c> it</c><00:12:03.100><c> devour</c><00:12:03.440><c> me</c><00:12:03.659><c> in</c><00:12:03.799><c> the</c><00:12:03.980><c> process?</c>

00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.259
Right?

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:08.519
And<00:12:07.340><c> for</c><00:12:07.440><c> a</c><00:12:07.659><c> wise</c><00:12:07.899><c> man</c><00:12:08.120><c> or</c><00:12:08.259><c> woman,</c>

00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:13.159
there<00:12:08.700><c> is</c><00:12:08.899><c> value</c><00:12:09.299><c> in</c><00:12:09.500><c> both</c><00:12:09.779><c> the</c><00:12:10.000><c> fascination</c><00:12:10.700><c> and</c><00:12:12.019><c> the</c><00:12:12.259><c> fear.</c>

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.840
And<00:12:13.539><c> Joshua</c><00:12:13.820><c> is</c><00:12:14.100><c> absolutely</c><00:12:14.519><c> right.</c>

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:16.980
You've<00:12:15.059><c> not</c><00:12:15.279><c> been</c><00:12:15.460><c> this</c><00:12:15.700><c> way</c><00:12:15.899><c> before.</c>

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.019
And<00:12:17.799><c> he</c><00:12:17.860><c> didn't</c><00:12:18.039><c> want</c><00:12:18.279><c> to</c><00:12:18.559><c> sap</c><00:12:18.759><c> their</c><00:12:19.340><c> excitement</c>

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.019
And<00:12:27.340><c> so</c><00:12:27.539><c> he</c><00:12:27.659><c> says,</c><00:12:28.980><c> the</c><00:12:29.139><c> end</c><00:12:29.340><c> of</c><00:12:29.539><c> verse</c><00:12:29.700><c> 4,</c>

Isn't<00:12:43.419><c> that</c><00:12:43.600><c> lovely?</c>

You<00:29:21.599><c> probably</c><00:29:22.299><c> are</c><00:29:22.720><c> familiar</c><00:29:23.119><c> with</c><00:29:23.339><c> its</c><00:29:23.759><c> sound,</c><00:29:24.519><c> right?</c>

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:38.819
But<00:29:36.900><c> the</c><00:29:37.220><c> psalmist</c><00:29:37.480><c> had</c><00:29:37.660><c> a</c><00:29:37.819><c> problem.</c>

00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:41.200
And<00:29:39.299><c> it's</c><00:29:39.559><c> articulated</c><00:29:40.019><c> here</c><00:29:40.279><c> in</c><00:29:40.420><c> verse</c><00:29:40.640><c> 3.</c>

00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.259
My<00:29:41.599><c> tears</c><00:29:42.039><c> have</c><00:29:42.279><c> been</c><00:29:42.420><c> my</c><00:29:42.799><c> meat</c><00:29:43.180><c> day</c><00:29:43.680><c> and</c><00:29:43.960><c> night</c>

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:46.160
while<00:29:44.519><c> they</c><00:29:44.900><c> continually</c><00:29:45.380><c> say</c><00:29:45.660><c> to</c><00:29:45.859><c> me,</c>

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:48.240
Where<00:29:46.720><c> is</c><00:29:47.019><c> your</c><00:29:47.299><c> God?</c>

00:29:48.500 --> 00:29:49.779
That's<00:29:48.880><c> what</c><00:29:48.960><c> they</c><00:29:49.119><c> were</c><00:29:49.240><c> saying</c><00:29:49.420><c> to</c><00:29:49.619><c> him.</c>

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:52.880
Now,<00:29:50.019><c> I</c><00:29:50.140><c> don't</c><00:29:50.339><c> know</c><00:29:50.500><c> who</c><00:29:50.859><c> this,</c><00:29:51.500><c> I'm</c><00:29:51.680><c> not</c><00:29:51.819><c> for</c><00:29:52.099><c> certain,</c><00:29:52.579><c> brethren</c><00:29:52.579><c> and</c><00:29:52.839><c> sisters,</c>

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:54.579
of<00:29:53.500><c> whom</c><00:29:53.700><c> this</c><00:29:53.940><c> is</c><00:29:54.200><c> speaking</c>

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:57.519
or<00:29:55.059><c> of</c><00:29:55.259><c> what</c><00:29:55.599><c> experiences</c><00:29:56.200><c> it's</c><00:29:56.559><c> necessarily</c><00:29:57.079><c> speaking.</c>

00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:01.299
It's<00:29:58.220><c> human</c><00:29:58.559><c> experience</c><00:29:59.259><c> and</c><00:29:59.720><c> you</c><00:29:59.920><c> may</c><00:30:00.079><c> have</c><00:30:00.319><c> experienced</c><00:30:00.720><c> it</c><00:30:01.000><c> too.</c>

00:30:01.779 --> 00:30:05.740
Maybe<00:30:02.299><c> the</c><00:30:03.140><c> people</c><00:30:03.539><c> saying,</c><00:30:03.980><c> Where</c><00:30:04.400><c> is</c><00:30:04.700><c> your</c><00:30:04.960><c> God</c><00:30:05.220><c> now?</c>

00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:09.240
Maybe<00:30:06.400><c> it</c><00:30:06.539><c> wasn't</c><00:30:06.740><c> even</c><00:30:07.059><c> an</c><00:30:07.579><c> external</c><00:30:08.099><c> voice.</c>

00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:11.519
Maybe<00:30:09.900><c> there's</c><00:30:10.039><c> been</c><00:30:10.240><c> times</c><00:30:10.500><c> in</c><00:30:10.660><c> your</c><00:30:10.839><c> life,</c><00:30:11.119><c> brethren</c><00:30:11.279><c> and</c><00:30:11.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:13.220
when<00:30:11.720><c> you've</c><00:30:11.980><c> heard</c><00:30:12.059><c> this</c><00:30:12.299><c> voice</c><00:30:12.559><c> internally.</c>

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.180
Where<00:30:14.019><c> is</c><00:30:14.240><c> your</c><00:30:14.420><c> God</c><00:30:14.640><c> now?</c>

00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:16.619
Where<00:30:15.920><c> is</c><00:30:16.140><c> he</c><00:30:16.299><c> now?</c>

00:30:16.940 --> 00:30:18.980
It's<00:30:17.240><c> one</c><00:30:17.420><c> thing</c><00:30:17.539><c> to</c><00:30:17.839><c> make</c><00:30:18.019><c> all</c><00:30:18.180><c> these</c><00:30:18.380><c> bold</c><00:30:18.660><c> claims</c>

00:30:18.980 --> 00:30:20.380
about<00:30:19.200><c> who</c><00:30:19.400><c> he</c><00:30:19.500><c> is</c><00:30:19.700><c> and</c><00:30:19.779><c> what</c><00:30:19.940><c> he's</c><00:30:20.140><c> doing,</c>

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:22.480
but<00:30:20.799><c> you're</c><00:30:21.039><c> going</c><00:30:21.180><c> through</c><00:30:21.339><c> an</c><00:30:21.640><c> experience</c><00:30:21.900><c> in</c><00:30:22.059><c> your</c><00:30:22.240><c> life</c>

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.420
and<00:30:22.779><c> it's</c><00:30:23.119><c> absolutely</c><00:30:23.559><c> right</c><00:30:23.819><c> to</c><00:30:24.000><c> ask</c><00:30:24.099><c> the</c><00:30:24.220><c> question,</c>

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:25.420
Well,<00:30:24.579><c> where</c><00:30:24.759><c> is</c><00:30:24.940><c> he</c><00:30:25.119><c> now?</c>

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:26.599
What<00:30:25.819><c> is</c><00:30:25.960><c> he</c><00:30:26.119><c> doing</c><00:30:26.279><c> now?</c>

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.319
Is<00:30:26.740><c> he</c><00:30:26.900><c> asleep?</c>

00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:28.240
Has<00:30:27.759><c> he</c><00:30:27.880><c> gone</c><00:30:28.039><c> away?</c>

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:28.960
Has<00:30:28.440><c> he</c><00:30:28.539><c> left</c><00:30:28.759><c> me?</c>

00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:29.880
Has<00:30:29.160><c> he</c><00:30:29.279><c> abandoned</c><00:30:29.619><c> me?</c>

00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.220
Where<00:30:30.440><c> is</c><00:30:30.720><c> now</c><00:30:31.039><c> your</c><00:30:31.339><c> God?</c>

00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:34.579
And<00:30:33.579><c> I</c><00:30:33.680><c> don't</c><00:30:33.759><c> know</c><00:30:33.859><c> about</c><00:30:33.960><c> you,</c><00:30:34.200><c> brethren</c><00:30:34.299><c> and</c><00:30:34.559><c> sisters,</c>

00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.819
I<00:30:34.880><c> guess</c><00:30:35.160><c> that's</c><00:30:35.480><c> a</c><00:30:35.579><c> question</c><00:30:35.880><c> many</c><00:30:36.279><c> of</c><00:30:36.460><c> us</c>

00:30:38.059 --> 00:30:40.539
have<00:30:38.460><c> felt</c><00:30:38.700><c> compelled</c><00:30:39.099><c> to</c><00:30:39.359><c> ask</c><00:30:39.599><c> at</c><00:30:39.880><c> some</c><00:30:40.079><c> moment</c>

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:42.579
or<00:30:41.240><c> at</c><00:30:41.460><c> some</c><00:30:41.660><c> point</c><00:30:41.819><c> in</c><00:30:42.039><c> our</c><00:30:42.240><c> lives.</c>

00:30:42.700 --> 00:30:44.319
Where<00:30:42.980><c> is</c><00:30:43.180><c> he</c><00:30:43.380><c> now?</c>

00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:45.559
I<00:30:44.500><c> mean,</c><00:30:44.640><c> it's</c><00:30:44.880><c> one</c><00:30:45.119><c> thing,</c><00:30:45.319><c> isn't</c><00:30:45.440><c> it,</c>

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.059
in<00:30:45.720><c> the</c><00:30:45.920><c> high</c><00:30:46.119><c> moments</c><00:30:46.480><c> of</c><00:30:46.740><c> life</c>

00:30:47.059 --> 00:30:48.619
when<00:30:47.339><c> you're</c><00:30:47.599><c> sailing</c><00:30:47.960><c> on</c><00:30:48.180><c> the</c><00:30:48.359><c> wind</c>

00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:50.200
and<00:30:48.779><c> you</c><00:30:48.900><c> can</c><00:30:49.200><c> feel</c><00:30:49.339><c> it</c><00:30:49.539><c> in</c><00:30:49.619><c> your</c><00:30:49.839><c> hair</c>

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:53.119
and<00:30:50.640><c> you</c><00:30:51.500><c> feel</c><00:30:51.779><c> all</c><00:30:52.079><c> the</c><00:30:52.279><c> rush</c><00:30:52.519><c> of</c><00:30:52.779><c> adrenaline</c>

00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.680
and<00:30:53.900><c> the</c><00:30:54.099><c> law</c><00:30:54.279><c> of</c><00:30:54.619><c> relativity</c><00:30:55.000><c> is</c><00:30:55.339><c> all</c><00:30:55.559><c> on</c><00:30:55.740><c> your</c><00:30:56.079><c> side,</c><00:30:56.519><c> right?</c>

00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.960
We're<00:30:56.980><c> going</c><00:30:57.259><c> downhill</c><00:30:57.779><c> and</c><00:30:58.059><c> it</c><00:30:58.180><c> feels</c><00:30:59.519><c> great.</c>

00:31:00.019 --> 00:31:00.980
It's<00:31:00.240><c> one</c><00:31:00.500><c> thing</c><00:31:00.660><c> to</c><00:31:00.839><c> say,</c>

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:03.140
Oh,<00:31:01.279><c> my</c><00:31:01.539><c> experience</c><00:31:02.039><c> of</c><00:31:02.259><c> God</c><00:31:02.440><c> is</c><00:31:02.740><c> vital</c>

00:31:03.140 --> 00:31:06.059
and<00:31:03.440><c> it's</c><00:31:04.319><c> exhilarating.</c>

00:31:06.779 --> 00:31:07.759
It's<00:31:07.099><c> another</c><00:31:07.259><c> thing,</c><00:31:07.539><c> isn't</c><00:31:07.640><c> it,</c>

00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:09.920
when<00:31:07.900><c> the</c><00:31:08.059><c> law</c><00:31:08.160><c> of</c><00:31:08.500><c> relativity</c><00:31:08.900><c> also</c><00:31:09.339><c> proves</c><00:31:09.619><c> true</c>

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:11.519
when<00:31:10.119><c> you're</c><00:31:10.400><c> going</c><00:31:10.599><c> uphill</c>

00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:13.819
and<00:31:12.160><c> it</c><00:31:12.319><c> feels</c><00:31:12.519><c> like</c><00:31:12.700><c> it's</c><00:31:13.000><c> taking</c><00:31:13.200><c> forever</c>

00:31:13.819 --> 00:31:16.019
and<00:31:14.359><c> it</c><00:31:14.539><c> feels</c><00:31:14.799><c> wrong</c><00:31:15.160><c> and</c><00:31:15.339><c> it</c><00:31:15.579><c> hurts</c>

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:19.579
and<00:31:16.359><c> it's</c><00:31:16.819><c> painful</c><00:31:17.400><c> to</c><00:31:18.480><c> say</c><00:31:18.740><c> to</c><00:31:18.920><c> yourself</c>

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:21.319
or<00:31:20.319><c> for</c><00:31:20.559><c> somebody</c><00:31:20.819><c> to</c><00:31:21.140><c> say,</c>

00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:24.220
that's<00:31:21.660><c> even</c><00:31:21.900><c> more</c><00:31:22.160><c> painful,</c><00:31:22.619><c> isn't</c><00:31:22.779><c> it,</c><00:31:22.920><c> in</c><00:31:23.119><c> a</c><00:31:23.240><c> way?</c>

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:27.400
For<00:31:24.599><c> somebody</c><00:31:24.900><c> who</c><00:31:25.099><c> you've</c><00:31:25.400><c> been</c><00:31:25.619><c> profoundly</c><00:31:26.700><c> expressing</c>

00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:29.599
your<00:31:27.779><c> confidence</c><00:31:28.339><c> in</c><00:31:28.559><c> God</c><00:31:28.900><c> to</c><00:31:29.299><c> say</c><00:31:29.480><c> to</c><00:31:29.539><c> you,</c>

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:31.180
Well,<00:31:29.740><c> where</c><00:31:29.940><c> is</c><00:31:30.059><c> he</c><00:31:30.200><c> now</c><00:31:30.380><c> then?</c>

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.220
And<00:31:32.400><c> it</c><00:31:32.579><c> seems</c><00:31:32.779><c> to</c><00:31:32.960><c> me,</c><00:31:33.119><c> brethren,</c>

00:31:33.339 --> 00:31:34.980
that's<00:31:33.599><c> what</c><00:31:33.740><c> they</c><00:31:33.920><c> were</c><00:31:34.019><c> saying</c><00:31:34.220><c> to</c><00:31:34.420><c> the</c><00:31:34.640><c> psalmist.</c>

00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:36.720
Well,<00:31:35.240><c> where</c><00:31:35.480><c> is</c><00:31:35.640><c> he</c><00:31:35.779><c> now?</c>

00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.420
And<00:31:37.380><c> you</c><00:31:37.480><c> know,</c><00:31:37.700><c> the</c><00:31:37.859><c> psalmist</c><00:31:38.279><c> did</c><00:31:38.519><c> a</c><00:31:38.740><c> really</c><00:31:39.059><c> important</c><00:31:39.420><c> thing.</c>

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:42.839
He<00:31:41.059><c> sat</c><00:31:41.240><c> down</c><00:31:41.500><c> with</c><00:31:41.680><c> himself</c>

00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.700

Therefore,<00:31:57.740><c> I</c><00:31:58.000><c> will</c><00:31:58.380><c> remember</c><00:31:59.180><c> you.</c>

00:32:01.099 --> 00:32:03.660

00:32:08.779 --> 00:32:10.099
That's<00:32:09.059><c> lovely,</c><00:32:09.400><c> isn't</c><00:32:09.539><c> it?</c>

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:21.240
Where<00:32:20.519><c> is</c><00:32:20.759><c> your</c><00:32:20.980><c> God?</c>

00:32:21.299 --> 00:32:22.680
And<00:32:21.460><c> I'm</c><00:32:21.859><c> thirsting</c><00:32:22.279><c> for</c><00:32:22.440><c> him</c>

00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:26.700

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:29.200
Where<00:32:28.240><c> is</c><00:32:28.480><c> now</c><00:32:28.740><c> your</c><00:32:28.980><c> God?</c>

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.079
And<00:32:29.380><c> you</c><00:32:29.480><c> know,</c><00:32:29.660><c> the</c><00:32:29.859><c> psalmist</c><00:32:30.359><c> looked</c><00:32:30.779><c> back</c>

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:33.799

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:36.740
what<00:32:34.019><c> these</c><00:32:34.299><c> three</c><00:32:34.559><c> moments</c><00:32:35.119><c> that</c><00:32:35.680><c> he</c><00:32:36.019><c> remembers</c><00:32:36.440><c> are.</c>

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:39.039
I<00:32:37.140><c> will</c><00:32:37.460><c> remember</c><00:32:37.779><c> you</c><00:32:38.140><c> from</c><00:32:38.400><c> Jordan,</c>

00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:43.259

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:45.779
But<00:32:44.500><c> what</c><00:32:44.660><c> I</c><00:32:44.779><c> do</c><00:32:44.920><c> know</c><00:32:45.019><c> is</c><00:32:45.180><c> this,</c><00:32:45.579><c> brethren</c><00:32:45.619><c> and</c><00:32:45.779><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:48.980
if<00:32:46.079><c> this</c><00:32:46.460><c> psalm</c><00:32:46.740><c> is</c><00:32:46.920><c> messianic,</c>

00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:51.380
which<00:32:49.619><c> I</c><00:32:49.859><c> believe</c><00:32:50.119><c> it</c><00:32:50.319><c> is,</c>

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:54.299
those<00:32:51.920><c> three</c><00:32:52.319><c> places</c><00:32:52.799><c> would</c><00:32:53.019><c> have</c><00:32:53.160><c> been</c><00:32:53.299><c> very</c><00:32:53.819><c> poignant</c>

00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:56.359
for<00:32:54.539><c> the</c><00:32:54.700><c> Lord</c><00:32:54.880><c> Jesus</c><00:32:55.279><c> Christ.</c>

00:32:56.960 --> 00:32:58.599
You<00:32:57.200><c> think</c><00:32:57.299><c> the</c><00:32:57.480><c> Lord</c><00:32:57.599><c> Jesus,</c><00:32:58.000><c> brethren</c><00:32:58.200><c> and</c><00:32:58.339><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:58.980 --> 00:33:02.000

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:04.299
wasn't<00:33:02.980><c> tempted</c><00:33:03.519><c> to</c><00:33:03.839><c> think,</c>

00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:06.900
Where<00:33:05.220><c> is</c><00:33:05.480><c> now</c><00:33:05.759><c> your</c><00:33:05.980><c> God?</c>

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:08.900
In<00:33:07.519><c> fact,</c><00:33:07.599><c> they</c><00:33:07.759><c> said</c><00:33:07.900><c> it</c><00:33:08.079><c> to</c><00:33:08.180><c> him,</c><00:33:08.400><c> didn't</c><00:33:08.500><c> they?</c>

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:12.099
Well,<00:33:09.920><c> get</c><00:33:10.140><c> yourself</c><00:33:10.480><c> down.</c>

00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:13.279
Right?

00:33:15.220 --> 00:33:17.140
Well,<00:33:15.460><c> what</c><00:33:15.720><c> were</c><00:33:15.859><c> the</c><00:33:16.059><c> occasions,</c><00:33:16.720><c> brethren</c><00:33:16.880><c> and</c><00:33:17.019><c> sisters,</c>

Well,<00:33:26.259><c> it</c><00:33:26.480><c> seems</c><00:33:26.680><c> to</c><00:33:26.900><c> me,</c>

When<00:33:51.039><c> again</c><00:33:51.819><c> the</c><00:33:52.359><c> voice</c><00:33:52.740><c> from</c><00:33:52.980><c> heaven</c><00:33:53.339><c> thundered,</c>
