00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.789
Ruth.

Ruth,<00:10:42.940><c> yeah.</c>

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.960
The<00:10:44.460><c> individual</c><00:10:44.940><c> has</c><00:10:45.200><c> to</c><00:10:45.440><c> make</c><00:10:45.620><c> that</c><00:10:45.919><c> decision</c>

Having<00:10:52.600><c> made</c><00:10:53.019><c> the</c><00:10:53.200><c> decision</c><00:10:53.659><c> to</c><00:10:54.759><c> stay</c><00:10:55.100><c> with</c><00:10:55.480><c> Naomi,</c>

00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:59.000

00:10:59.139 --> 00:11:01.500
and<00:10:59.320><c> then</c><00:10:59.519><c> having</c><00:10:59.779><c> received</c><00:11:00.179><c> instruction</c><00:11:00.840><c> from</c><00:11:01.120><c> Naomi,</c>

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.820

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:18.440
You<00:11:15.679><c> see</c><00:11:15.879><c> how</c><00:11:16.039><c> you</c><00:11:16.299><c> start</c><00:11:16.539><c> off</c><00:11:16.779><c> at</c><00:11:17.039><c> the</c><00:11:17.080><c> beginning</c><00:11:17.320><c> of</c><00:11:17.519><c> this</c><00:11:17.720><c> story</c><00:11:17.960><c> of</c><00:11:18.159><c> Ruth,</c>

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:24.600
and<00:11:21.820><c> you</c><00:11:21.899><c> end</c><00:11:22.120><c> up</c><00:11:22.419><c> at</c><00:11:22.639><c> the</c><00:11:22.840><c> end</c><00:11:23.059><c> of</c><00:11:23.259><c> the</c><00:11:23.360><c> story</c><00:11:23.639><c> with</c><00:11:23.899><c> a</c><00:11:24.059><c> new</c><00:11:24.259><c> family,</c>

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:26.919
with<00:11:24.840><c> the</c><00:11:25.019><c> birth</c><00:11:25.320><c> of</c><00:11:25.580><c> a</c><00:11:25.700><c> new</c><00:11:25.899><c> family.</c>

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.059
And<00:11:28.019><c> again,</c><00:11:28.580><c> the</c><00:11:28.720><c> way</c><00:11:28.960><c> in</c><00:11:29.100><c> which</c><00:11:29.299><c> that</c><00:11:29.539><c> new</c><00:11:29.799><c> family</c><00:11:30.100><c> came</c><00:11:30.419><c> about</c>

00:11:31.059 --> 00:11:34.399
was<00:11:32.000><c> by</c><00:11:32.960><c> God's</c><00:11:33.580><c> providing.</c>

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:38.139
He<00:11:35.039><c> provided</c><00:11:35.519><c> the</c><00:11:36.379><c> law,</c><00:11:36.919><c> the</c><00:11:37.179><c> system,</c>

00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:40.220
which<00:11:38.559><c> allowed</c><00:11:38.840><c> that</c><00:11:39.080><c> to</c><00:11:39.320><c> happen.</c>

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:41.740
And<00:11:40.899><c> he's</c><00:11:41.059><c> done</c><00:11:41.340><c> that,</c>

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:43.519
and<00:11:42.100><c> this</c><00:11:42.279><c> is</c><00:11:42.460><c> a</c><00:11:42.639><c> pattern</c><00:11:42.879><c> in</c><00:11:43.100><c> the</c><00:11:43.259><c> Scripture</c>

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.720
to<00:11:43.759><c> show</c><00:11:43.960><c> us</c><00:11:44.039><c> how</c><00:11:44.299><c> God</c><00:11:44.639><c> provides.</c>

00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.559
And<00:11:46.039><c> so,</c><00:11:47.279><c> God</c><00:11:47.460><c> works</c><00:11:47.840><c> in</c><00:11:48.039><c> two</c><00:11:48.259><c> ways.</c>

00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:50.620
He<00:11:48.700><c> works</c><00:11:48.960><c> in</c><00:11:49.139><c> a</c><00:11:49.279><c> natural</c><00:11:49.600><c> way,</c>

00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.659
and<00:11:51.139><c> a</c><00:11:51.340><c> spiritual</c><00:11:51.700><c> way.</c>

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.259
First<00:11:53.159><c> we</c><00:11:53.360><c> understand</c><00:11:53.879><c> the</c><00:11:54.039><c> natural</c><00:11:54.419><c> law,</c>

00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.860
and<00:11:55.480><c> then</c><00:11:55.620><c> we're</c><00:11:55.820><c> able</c><00:11:56.100><c> to</c><00:11:56.419><c> understand</c>

00:11:56.860 --> 00:11:59.279
the<00:11:57.220><c> spiritual</c><00:11:57.639><c> application</c><00:11:58.279><c> of</c><00:11:58.519><c> that.</c>

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.940
If<00:11:59.659><c> we</c><00:11:59.759><c> don't</c><00:11:59.980><c> understand</c><00:12:00.299><c> the</c><00:12:00.519><c> natural,</c>

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.679
then<00:12:01.480><c> we'll</c><00:12:01.659><c> go</c><00:12:01.779><c> wrong</c><00:12:02.019><c> when</c><00:12:02.240><c> we</c><00:12:02.379><c> try</c><00:12:02.580><c> and</c><00:12:02.779><c> understand</c><00:12:03.279><c> the</c><00:12:03.840><c> spiritual.</c>

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:07.159
And<00:12:05.320><c> so</c><00:12:05.440><c> what's</c><00:12:05.879><c> happened</c><00:12:06.120><c> here</c><00:12:06.500><c> is</c>

00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.860
that<00:12:07.620><c> God</c><00:12:07.860><c> has</c><00:12:08.139><c> given</c><00:12:08.320><c> a</c><00:12:08.559><c> natural</c><00:12:08.919><c> law</c>

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:12.100
that<00:12:10.100><c> says</c><00:12:10.320><c> in</c><00:12:10.519><c> everyday</c><00:12:10.879><c> life,</c>

00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.399
when<00:12:12.399><c> you</c><00:12:12.559><c> come</c><00:12:12.740><c> up</c><00:12:12.919><c> against</c><00:12:13.159><c> this</c><00:12:13.440><c> problem,</c>

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.600
then<00:12:14.779><c> this</c><00:12:15.000><c> is</c><00:12:15.139><c> how</c><00:12:15.240><c> you</c><00:12:15.539><c> solve</c><00:12:15.799><c> it</c><00:12:16.080><c> in</c><00:12:16.279><c> everyday</c><00:12:16.600><c> life.</c>

00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:19.559
Now,<00:12:17.960><c> take</c><00:12:18.179><c> those</c><00:12:18.460><c> principles</c>

00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.940
and<00:12:19.779><c> apply</c><00:12:20.179><c> them</c><00:12:20.500><c> to</c><00:12:20.820><c> your</c><00:12:21.080><c> spiritual</c><00:12:21.480><c> life</c>

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.960
in<00:12:22.360><c> exactly</c><00:12:22.639><c> the</c><00:12:22.860><c> same</c><00:12:23.059><c> way.</c>

00:12:24.299 --> 00:12:27.379
And<00:12:24.519><c> so,</c><00:12:25.320><c> the</c><00:12:25.379><c> husband</c><00:12:26.000><c> of</c><00:12:26.700><c> Ruth</c><00:12:26.960><c> dies,</c>

00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.879
she<00:12:27.779><c> has</c><00:12:28.000><c> no</c><00:12:28.200><c> children,</c><00:12:28.960><c> she</c><00:12:29.100><c> has</c><00:12:29.320><c> no</c><00:12:29.539><c> means</c><00:12:29.700><c> of</c><00:12:29.980><c> support.</c>

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:32.600
But<00:12:31.419><c> under</c><00:12:31.679><c> the</c><00:12:31.919><c> law,</c>

00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.220
a<00:12:33.200><c> near</c><00:12:33.419><c> kinsman,</c><00:12:34.440><c> someone</c><00:12:34.799><c> else,</c>

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:38.500
could<00:12:35.820><c> take</c><00:12:36.159><c> over</c><00:12:36.440><c> the</c><00:12:37.320><c> position</c><00:12:37.700><c> of</c><00:12:37.879><c> her</c><00:12:38.019><c> husband</c>

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:40.500
and<00:12:39.320><c> continue</c><00:12:39.799><c> his</c><00:12:40.200><c> name</c>

and<00:12:40.840><c> provide</c><00:12:41.179><c> life</c><00:12:41.620><c> where</c><00:12:41.879><c> there'd</c><00:12:42.080><c> only</c><00:12:42.259><c> been</c><00:12:42.460><c> death.</c>

00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:46.039
And<00:12:44.539><c> so</c><00:12:44.679><c> that's</c><00:12:44.980><c> the</c><00:12:45.139><c> pattern</c><00:12:45.399><c> we</c><00:12:45.679><c> see,</c>

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:47.320
the<00:12:46.259><c> death</c><00:12:46.460><c> of</c><00:12:46.679><c> one</c><00:12:46.879><c> family</c>

00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.679
Now,<00:12:51.820><c> all</c><00:12:52.019><c> this</c><00:12:52.220><c> took</c><00:12:52.419><c> place</c>

00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.320
Sometimes<00:12:58.860><c> we</c><00:12:59.039><c> look</c><00:12:59.279><c> for</c><00:12:59.559><c> instant</c><00:13:00.159><c> responses,</c><00:13:01.000><c> don't</c><00:13:01.200><c> we?</c>

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:11.419
We<00:13:09.700><c> live</c><00:13:09.919><c> in</c><00:13:10.019><c> an</c><00:13:10.159><c> instant</c><00:13:10.460><c> world.</c>

00:13:19.139 --> 00:13:22.879
We<00:13:19.379><c> can</c><00:13:19.639><c> see</c><00:13:19.899><c> things</c><00:13:20.279><c> and</c><00:13:20.539><c> it's</c><00:13:20.879><c> instant</c><00:13:21.360><c> in</c><00:13:21.820><c> our</c><00:13:22.019><c> life.</c>

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.659
But<00:13:23.480><c> God</c><00:13:23.580><c> doesn't</c><00:13:23.799><c> always</c><00:13:24.080><c> work</c><00:13:24.299><c> like</c><00:13:24.519><c> that.</c>

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:27.600
God<00:13:25.379><c> tests</c><00:13:25.820><c> us</c><00:13:26.120><c> and</c><00:13:26.320><c> tries</c><00:13:26.679><c> us</c>

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.759
and<00:13:27.980><c> endeavours</c><00:13:28.379><c> to</c><00:13:28.620><c> find</c><00:13:28.860><c> out</c><00:13:29.080><c> what</c><00:13:29.220><c> we're</c><00:13:29.419><c> really</c><00:13:29.720><c> like.</c>

00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.399
When<00:13:32.740><c> their</c><00:13:32.940><c> children</c><00:13:33.200><c> of</c><00:13:33.320><c> Israel</c><00:13:33.539><c> went</c><00:13:33.740><c> into</c><00:13:33.919><c> the</c><00:13:34.059><c> wilderness,</c>

00:13:34.460 --> 00:13:35.779
you<00:13:34.639><c> remember,</c><00:13:35.059><c> God</c><00:13:35.299><c> said,</c>

00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:37.960
I've<00:13:36.360><c> put</c><00:13:36.500><c> you</c><00:13:36.679><c> in</c><00:13:36.740><c> the</c><00:13:36.940><c> wilderness</c>

00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.100
so<00:13:38.840><c> that</c><00:13:39.399><c> I</c><00:13:39.740><c> might</c><00:13:40.039><c> test</c><00:13:40.419><c> you</c>

00:13:41.100 --> 00:13:42.580
and<00:13:41.460><c> humble</c><00:13:41.799><c> you</c>

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:44.419
and<00:13:43.000><c> prove</c><00:13:43.220><c> you</c><00:13:43.399><c> I</c><00:13:43.500><c> might</c><00:13:43.820><c> find</c><00:13:44.179><c> out</c>

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:47.000
what<00:13:44.600><c> you</c><00:13:44.860><c> really</c><00:13:45.220><c> think</c><00:13:45.700><c> and</c><00:13:46.039><c> believe.</c>

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.059
And<00:13:47.679><c> God</c><00:13:47.779><c> does</c><00:13:48.000><c> that</c><00:13:48.179><c> to</c><00:13:48.419><c> everybody</c><00:13:48.720><c> in</c><00:13:48.980><c> life.</c>

00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.080
So<00:13:50.460><c> when</c><00:13:50.600><c> we</c><00:13:50.779><c> have</c><00:13:50.899><c> a</c><00:13:51.139><c> problem,</c>

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.259
we<00:13:52.159><c> don't</c><00:13:52.360><c> always</c><00:13:52.620><c> get</c><00:13:52.820><c> instant</c><00:13:53.179><c> answers</c><00:13:53.580><c> to</c><00:13:53.860><c> them.</c>

00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:57.580
Sometimes<00:13:55.200><c> the</c><00:13:55.419><c> answers</c><00:13:55.720><c> take</c><00:13:56.039><c> a</c><00:13:56.179><c> long</c><00:13:56.419><c> time</c><00:13:56.700><c> coming.</c>

00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.159
And<00:13:58.080><c> that's</c><00:13:58.320><c> God</c><00:13:58.559><c> testing</c><00:13:58.919><c> us</c>

00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.980
to<00:13:59.360><c> see</c><00:13:59.679><c> if</c><00:14:00.080><c> we're</c><00:14:00.259><c> going</c><00:14:00.360><c> to</c><00:14:00.440><c> keep</c><00:14:00.720><c> on</c><00:14:01.059><c> saying</c><00:14:01.200><c> the</c><00:14:01.379><c> right</c><00:14:01.600><c> things</c>

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:03.379
and<00:14:02.259><c> doing</c><00:14:02.480><c> the</c><00:14:02.700><c> right</c><00:14:02.940><c> things</c>

00:14:03.379 --> 00:14:07.159
and<00:14:03.820><c> have</c><00:14:04.100><c> patience</c><00:14:04.580><c> to</c><00:14:05.179><c> wait</c><00:14:05.360><c> for</c><00:14:05.519><c> God</c><00:14:05.700><c> to</c><00:14:05.879><c> give</c><00:14:05.980><c> us</c><00:14:06.159><c> the</c><00:14:06.299><c> answer.</c>

00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.519
So<00:14:08.620><c> 12</c><00:14:09.120><c> years</c><00:14:09.360><c> is</c><00:14:09.580><c> a</c><00:14:09.659><c> long</c><00:14:09.899><c> time.</c>

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.559
You<00:14:10.919><c> know,</c><00:14:11.120><c> from</c><00:14:11.399><c> the</c><00:14:11.639><c> start</c><00:14:11.860><c> of</c><00:14:12.080><c> the</c><00:14:12.240><c> tragedy</c>

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.379
to<00:14:12.799><c> the</c><00:14:12.940><c> end</c><00:14:13.100><c> of</c><00:14:13.240><c> the</c><00:14:13.399><c> tragedy.</c>

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.899
But<00:14:15.659><c> in</c><00:14:16.159><c> the</c><00:14:16.700><c> purpose</c><00:14:17.000><c> of</c><00:14:17.240><c> God,</c><00:14:17.399><c> 12</c><00:14:17.700><c> years</c><00:14:17.919><c> is</c><00:14:18.120><c> nothing.</c>

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.539
Our<00:14:19.519><c> lifetime</c><00:14:19.919><c> is</c><00:14:20.259><c> nothing.</c>

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:22.000
Remember<00:14:21.159><c> what</c><00:14:21.340><c> the</c><00:14:21.519><c> Bible</c><00:14:21.740><c> says,</c>

00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:24.120
our<00:14:22.179><c> life</c><00:14:22.399><c> is</c><00:14:22.580><c> like</c><00:14:22.759><c> a</c><00:14:22.919><c> vapour.</c>

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:26.279
It<00:14:24.740><c> appears</c><00:14:25.139><c> and</c><00:14:25.419><c> then</c><00:14:25.580><c> just</c><00:14:25.860><c> disappears.</c>

00:14:26.779 --> 00:14:28.340
So<00:14:26.980><c> in</c><00:14:27.120><c> the</c><00:14:27.320><c> purpose</c><00:14:27.539><c> of</c><00:14:27.879><c> God,</c>

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:32.179
our<00:14:29.100><c> lifetime</c><00:14:29.519><c> is</c><00:14:29.700><c> only</c><00:14:29.879><c> a</c><00:14:30.000><c> very</c><00:14:30.480><c> short</c><00:14:30.759><c> period</c><00:14:31.100><c> of</c><00:14:31.340><c> time.</c>

00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:33.679
And<00:14:32.779><c> we</c><00:14:32.940><c> think,</c><00:14:33.159><c> you</c><00:14:33.299><c> know,</c>

00:14:33.899 --> 00:14:35.740
five<00:14:34.159><c> years,</c><00:14:34.480><c> ten</c><00:14:34.779><c> years,</c><00:14:35.159><c> fifteen</c><00:14:35.460><c> years</c>

00:14:35.740 --> 00:14:38.740
is<00:14:35.899><c> a</c><00:14:35.940><c> long</c><00:14:36.279><c> time,</c><00:14:36.740><c> but</c><00:14:36.960><c> not</c><00:14:37.159><c> in</c><00:14:37.299><c> the</c><00:14:37.419><c> purpose</c><00:14:37.659><c> of</c><00:14:37.879><c> God.</c>

00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:41.220
Sometimes<00:14:39.259><c> when</c><00:14:39.440><c> you</c><00:14:39.580><c> ask</c><00:14:39.799><c> God</c><00:14:39.980><c> for</c><00:14:40.159><c> an</c><00:14:40.360><c> answer,</c>

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:42.720
you<00:14:41.440><c> don't</c><00:14:41.620><c> always</c><00:14:41.840><c> get</c><00:14:42.019><c> it</c><00:14:42.179><c> straight</c><00:14:42.440><c> away.</c>

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.940
It<00:14:42.980><c> might</c><00:14:43.279><c> be</c><00:14:44.019><c> some</c><00:14:44.340><c> years</c><00:14:44.720><c> in</c><00:14:45.019><c> the</c><00:14:45.179><c> coming,</c>

some<00:14:46.720><c> years</c><00:14:46.940><c> in</c><00:14:47.100><c> the</c><00:14:47.279><c> answering.</c>

00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:50.220
But<00:14:49.240><c> there's</c><00:14:49.379><c> always</c><00:14:49.600><c> a</c><00:14:49.779><c> way</c>

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:52.919
in<00:14:50.460><c> which</c><00:14:50.679><c> you</c><00:14:50.740><c> can</c><00:14:50.980><c> always</c><00:14:51.299><c> get</c><00:14:51.539><c> a</c><00:14:51.820><c> yes</c><00:14:52.200><c> from</c><00:14:52.620><c> God,</c>

a<00:14:53.179><c> positive</c><00:14:53.679><c> answer</c><00:14:54.159><c> when</c><00:14:54.559><c> you</c><00:14:54.779><c> pray</c><00:14:55.000><c> to</c><00:14:55.200><c> him.</c>

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:56.940
Who<00:14:55.779><c> wants</c><00:14:56.000><c> to</c><00:14:56.179><c> tell</c><00:14:56.279><c> me</c><00:14:56.379><c> what</c><00:14:56.539><c> that</c><00:14:56.700><c> is?</c>

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.860
How<00:14:57.279><c> can</c><00:14:57.440><c> you</c><00:14:57.659><c> always</c><00:14:57.940><c> make</c><00:14:58.279><c> sure</c>

00:14:58.860 --> 00:15:02.019

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.159
Yes,<00:15:03.200><c> we</c><00:15:03.379><c> do.</c>

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.960
So<00:15:05.080><c> what</c><00:15:05.240><c> would</c><00:15:05.419><c> the</c><00:15:05.559><c> right</c><00:15:05.720><c> things</c><00:15:06.019><c> be?</c>

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:42.399
How<00:15:41.259><c> does</c><00:15:41.600><c> he</c><00:15:41.820><c> view</c><00:15:42.080><c> this?</c>

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:43.679
What<00:15:42.799><c> does</c><00:15:43.039><c> God</c><00:15:43.340><c> think?</c>

00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.639
What<00:15:43.960><c> will</c><00:15:44.159><c> God</c><00:15:44.460><c> want?</c>

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:47.679
And<00:15:44.840><c> then</c><00:15:45.120><c> if</c><00:15:45.379><c> you</c><00:15:45.559><c> ask</c><00:15:45.820><c> God</c><00:15:46.100><c> to</c><00:15:46.279><c> do</c><00:15:46.419><c> what</c><00:15:46.580><c> God</c><00:15:46.860><c> wants</c><00:15:47.220><c> to</c><00:15:47.440><c> do,</c>

00:15:48.139 --> 00:15:49.360
then<00:15:48.240><c> he's</c><00:15:48.399><c> going</c><00:15:48.500><c> to</c><00:15:48.620><c> do</c><00:15:48.720><c> it,</c><00:15:48.860><c> isn't</c><00:15:49.019><c> he?</c>

00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:50.960
He<00:15:49.860><c> always</c><00:15:50.120><c> does.</c>

00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:53.159

00:15:57.659 --> 00:16:00.120

00:16:08.740 --> 00:16:10.220
We<00:16:08.840><c> take</c><00:16:09.139><c> it</c><00:16:09.259><c> to</c><00:16:09.399><c> God</c><00:16:09.620><c> and</c><00:16:09.860><c> we</c><00:16:10.059><c> say,</c>

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:11.980
I<00:16:10.480><c> want</c><00:16:10.740><c> this</c><00:16:10.980><c> job.</c>

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:20.019
We<00:16:18.299><c> take</c><00:16:18.580><c> the</c><00:16:18.759><c> answer</c><00:16:19.080><c> to</c><00:16:19.279><c> God</c>

00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:22.000
instead<00:16:20.980><c> of</c><00:16:21.460><c> finding</c><00:16:21.740><c> out</c>

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:23.659
what<00:16:22.120><c> the</c><00:16:22.320><c> answer</c><00:16:22.639><c> is</c><00:16:22.899><c> from</c><00:16:23.139><c> God</c>

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.200
and<00:16:24.039><c> then</c><00:16:24.320><c> saying,</c>

00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:26.580
what?

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:29.080
What's<00:16:28.200><c> the</c><00:16:28.379><c> expression</c>

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.059
that<00:16:29.279><c> Jesus</c><00:16:29.799><c> used</c>

00:16:30.870 --> 00:16:33.740
in<00:16:31.159><c> the</c><00:16:31.279><c> Garden</c><00:16:31.559><c> of</c><00:16:31.700><c> Gethsemane?</c>

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:34.940
Because<00:16:34.460><c> Jesus</c><00:16:34.759><c> knew</c>

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:36.559
what<00:16:35.120><c> the</c><00:16:35.320><c> answer</c><00:16:35.580><c> to</c><00:16:35.779><c> the</c><00:16:35.940><c> problem</c><00:16:36.259><c> was,</c>

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:37.779
didn't<00:16:36.779><c> he?</c>

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:40.379
He<00:16:38.899><c> just</c><00:16:39.139><c> had</c><00:16:39.379><c> to</c><00:16:40.019><c> learn</c>

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:43.259
to<00:16:41.080><c> accept</c><00:16:41.580><c> the</c><00:16:41.779><c> answer</c><00:16:42.039><c> to</c><00:16:42.240><c> the</c><00:16:42.379><c> problem.</c>

00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.629
What's<00:16:44.120><c> the</c><00:16:44.220><c> expression</c><00:16:44.620><c> that</c><00:16:44.840><c> Jesus</c>

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:46.860
uses<00:16:46.019><c> in</c><00:16:46.220><c> his</c><00:16:46.539><c> prayer</c>

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:49.000
in<00:16:47.100><c> the</c><00:16:47.279><c> Garden</c><00:16:47.419><c> of</c><00:16:47.519><c> Gethsemane?</c>

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:52.100
Thy<00:16:50.179><c> will</c><00:16:50.779><c> be</c><00:16:51.120><c> done.</c>

00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:54.919
So<00:16:53.299><c> that's</c><00:16:54.000><c> the</c><00:16:54.480><c> attitude</c>

00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.700
that<00:16:55.080><c> we</c><00:16:55.240><c> have</c><00:16:55.419><c> to</c><00:16:55.580><c> get</c><00:16:55.740><c> when</c><00:16:55.919><c> we're</c><00:16:56.179><c> confronted</c><00:16:56.480><c> with</c><00:16:56.700><c> the</c><00:16:56.860><c> problem.</c>

00:16:58.200 --> 00:16:59.320
We<00:16:58.639><c> have</c><00:16:58.820><c> to</c><00:16:58.919><c> find</c><00:16:59.159><c> out</c>

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:01.120
what<00:16:59.820><c> God</c><00:17:00.279><c> would</c><00:17:00.559><c> do,</c>

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:02.340
what<00:17:01.600><c> God</c><00:17:01.919><c> wants,</c>

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.079
and<00:17:02.600><c> say,</c><00:17:03.259><c> thy</c><00:17:03.460><c> will</c><00:17:03.700><c> be</c><00:17:03.940><c> done.</c>

00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:06.000
Now<00:17:04.299><c> of</c><00:17:04.380><c> course</c><00:17:04.480><c> it</c><00:17:04.559><c> may</c><00:17:04.740><c> not</c><00:17:04.839><c> be</c><00:17:04.960><c> a</c><00:17:04.980><c> very</c><00:17:05.279><c> nice</c><00:17:05.500><c> answer,</c>

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.880
because<00:17:06.599><c> it</c><00:17:06.740><c> may</c><00:17:06.960><c> actually</c><00:17:07.299><c> involve</c><00:17:07.660><c> us</c><00:17:08.000><c> in</c><00:17:08.220><c> doing</c><00:17:08.440><c> things</c>

00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:10.839
or<00:17:09.420><c> having</c><00:17:09.839><c> to</c><00:17:10.079><c> accept</c><00:17:10.539><c> things</c>

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:12.579
that<00:17:11.000><c> we</c><00:17:11.119><c> don't</c><00:17:11.319><c> really</c><00:17:11.579><c> like.</c>

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:15.119
But<00:17:14.220><c> if</c><00:17:14.440><c> we</c><00:17:14.740><c> accept</c>

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:16.900
that<00:17:15.299><c> God</c><00:17:15.500><c> knows</c><00:17:15.799><c> best,</c>

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.339
then<00:17:18.279><c> we're</c><00:17:18.740><c> going</c><00:17:18.839><c> to</c><00:17:18.920><c> go</c><00:17:19.119><c> with</c><00:17:19.359><c> that.</c>

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:22.220
If<00:17:21.440><c> God</c><00:17:21.660><c> doesn't</c><00:17:22.000><c> say,</c>

00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:25.039
I'm<00:17:22.400><c> going</c><00:17:22.500><c> to</c><00:17:22.660><c> take</c><00:17:22.799><c> all</c><00:17:22.940><c> your</c><00:17:23.119><c> problems</c><00:17:23.519><c> away</c><00:17:24.140><c> from</c><00:17:24.400><c> you,</c>

00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.380
why<00:17:25.839><c> wouldn't</c><00:17:26.160><c> God</c>

00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:29.539
take<00:17:26.680><c> all</c><00:17:26.859><c> our</c><00:17:27.039><c> problems</c><00:17:27.359><c> away</c><00:17:27.660><c> from</c><00:17:27.880><c> us?</c>

00:17:34.059 --> 00:17:34.700
Sorry?

00:17:35.819 --> 00:17:37.980
How<00:17:36.079><c> does</c><00:17:36.240><c> it</c><00:17:36.339><c> make</c><00:17:36.460><c> us</c><00:17:36.660><c> better</c><00:17:36.839><c> people?</c>

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:41.259
Sorry?

00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:55.940
He's<00:17:53.480><c> testing</c><00:17:53.819><c> us.</c>

00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:59.119
Most<00:17:57.000><c> of</c><00:17:57.140><c> our</c><00:17:57.420><c> trials</c><00:17:57.700><c> come</c><00:17:57.960><c> through</c><00:17:58.160><c> problems.</c>

00:18:00.339 --> 00:18:02.819
So<00:18:00.819><c> God</c><00:18:01.059><c> leaves</c><00:18:01.339><c> us</c><00:18:01.519><c> with</c><00:18:01.640><c> the</c><00:18:01.859><c> problems.</c>

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:05.220
Is<00:18:04.599><c> that</c><00:18:04.740><c> what</c><00:18:04.839><c> we're</c><00:18:04.980><c> saying?</c>

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:07.079
Most<00:18:05.619><c> of</c><00:18:05.759><c> our</c><00:18:05.980><c> trials</c><00:18:06.200><c> come</c><00:18:06.440><c> through</c><00:18:06.660><c> problems,</c>

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.660
and<00:18:07.279><c> so</c><00:18:07.420><c> God</c><00:18:07.559><c> leaves</c><00:18:07.799><c> us</c><00:18:07.980><c> with</c><00:18:08.079><c> the</c><00:18:08.400><c> problems</c>

00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:11.559
to<00:18:09.619><c> test</c><00:18:10.220><c> us.</c>

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.279
Where<00:18:12.119><c> do</c><00:18:12.180><c> most</c><00:18:12.380><c> of</c><00:18:12.539><c> the</c><00:18:12.619><c> problems</c><00:18:12.960><c> come</c><00:18:13.200><c> from?</c>

From<00:18:22.259><c> the</c><00:18:22.420><c> world?</c>

00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:25.559
Inside.

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:26.220
Inside.

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.559
Can<00:18:27.359><c> you</c><00:18:27.539><c> think</c><00:18:27.700><c> of</c><00:18:27.799><c> a</c><00:18:27.900><c> Bible</c><00:18:28.180><c> verse</c>

00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.500
The<00:18:30.960><c> heart</c><00:18:31.099><c> is</c><00:18:31.319><c> deceitful</c><00:18:31.740><c> above</c><00:18:31.900><c> all</c><00:18:32.220><c> things,</c>

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:33.740
and<00:18:32.680><c> that's</c><00:18:32.940><c> what</c><00:18:33.059><c> it</c><00:18:33.180><c> is.</c>

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:34.819
Yeah?

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.240
The<00:18:36.519><c> heart</c><00:18:36.759><c> is</c><00:18:37.059><c> deceitful</c><00:18:37.579><c> above</c><00:18:37.839><c> all</c><00:18:38.119><c> things,</c>

00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:40.599
and<00:18:39.400><c> that's</c><00:18:39.660><c> what</c><00:18:39.779><c> it</c><00:18:39.940><c> is.</c>

00:18:40.660 --> 00:18:41.400
Yeah?

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:43.099
That's<00:18:42.000><c> a</c><00:18:42.099><c> good</c><00:18:42.240><c> one.</c>

00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:44.359
From<00:18:43.319><c> Jerry</c><00:18:43.519><c> Meyer.</c>

00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.859
Another<00:18:45.380><c> one</c><00:18:45.579><c> that</c><00:18:45.759><c> Jesus</c><00:18:46.099><c> said,</c><00:18:46.420><c> didn't</c><00:18:46.619><c> he,</c>

00:18:46.859 --> 00:18:49.900
that<00:18:47.440><c> those</c><00:18:47.900><c> things</c><00:18:48.180><c> that</c><00:18:48.440><c> come</c><00:18:48.619><c> from</c><00:18:48.920><c> within,</c>

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:51.799
those<00:18:50.900><c> are</c><00:18:51.059><c> the</c><00:18:51.200><c> things</c><00:18:51.339><c> that</c>

00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:52.660
defile<00:18:52.220><c> a</c><00:18:52.380><c> man,</c>

00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:55.140
not<00:18:53.119><c> having</c><00:18:53.460><c> dirty</c><00:18:53.799><c> hands</c>

00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:57.660
or<00:18:55.759><c> not</c><00:18:56.200><c> washing</c><00:18:56.480><c> your</c><00:18:56.799><c> feet.</c>

00:18:57.940 --> 00:18:59.039
What<00:18:58.579><c> actually</c>

00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:01.059
defiles<00:18:59.799><c> you</c><00:19:00.220><c> are</c><00:19:00.440><c> your</c><00:19:00.680><c> thoughts</c>

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:04.759
So<00:19:02.920><c> most</c><00:19:03.079><c> of</c><00:19:03.299><c> the</c><00:19:03.400><c> problems</c><00:19:03.900><c> will</c><00:19:04.440><c> come</c>

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.400
because<00:19:05.099><c> of</c><00:19:05.319><c> ourselves.</c>

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:09.460
Some<00:19:08.279><c> of</c><00:19:08.420><c> the</c><00:19:08.619><c> problems</c><00:19:09.059><c> though</c>

00:19:09.460 --> 00:19:10.700
will<00:19:09.720><c> come</c><00:19:09.920><c> like</c>

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:13.079
they<00:19:11.099><c> have</c><00:19:11.220><c> in</c><00:19:11.380><c> this</c><00:19:11.660><c> story</c><00:19:11.900><c> with</c><00:19:12.160><c> Ruth.</c>

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.839
They'll<00:19:15.420><c> come</c><00:19:15.619><c> about</c><00:19:16.039><c> because</c>

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.279
God<00:19:17.240><c> is</c><00:19:17.500><c> testing</c><00:19:17.819><c> us.</c>

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.319
So<00:19:21.440><c> we're</c><00:19:21.640><c> facing</c><00:19:21.960><c> a</c><00:19:22.160><c> situation</c><00:19:22.700><c> here</c><00:19:23.039><c> then</c>

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.339
where

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:26.839
we,<00:19:25.420><c> the</c><00:19:25.599><c> story</c><00:19:25.799><c> of</c><00:19:25.960><c> Ruth</c><00:19:26.099><c> is</c><00:19:26.359><c> showing</c><00:19:26.559><c> us</c>

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:28.720
that<00:19:27.400><c> people</c><00:19:27.799><c> can</c><00:19:28.079><c> put</c><00:19:28.240><c> themselves</c>

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.819
into<00:19:29.000><c> difficult</c><00:19:29.420><c> situations</c>

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:33.160
with<00:19:31.920><c> the</c><00:19:32.200><c> problems</c>

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:34.720
that<00:19:33.799><c> they</c><00:19:34.019><c> come</c><00:19:34.200><c> up</c>

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:36.039
against,

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:38.259
a<00:19:36.380><c> problem</c><00:19:36.539><c> of</c><00:19:36.700><c> their</c><00:19:36.900><c> own</c><00:19:37.099><c> making.</c>

00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:42.839
Sadly<00:19:40.779><c> for</c><00:19:41.339><c> the</c><00:19:41.619><c> family</c><00:19:41.940><c> of</c>

00:19:43.299 --> 00:19:44.400
Elimelech,<00:19:43.920><c> it</c><00:19:44.099><c> led</c><00:19:44.200><c> to</c>

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.819
their<00:19:44.579><c> death.</c>

00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:49.039
But

00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.519
Ruth<00:19:49.720><c> was</c><00:19:49.940><c> then</c><00:19:50.160><c> confronted</c>

00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:52.380
with<00:19:50.720><c> the</c><00:19:50.960><c> problem,</c><00:19:51.220><c> which</c><00:19:51.420><c> really</c><00:19:51.759><c> wasn't</c><00:19:51.980><c> of</c><00:19:52.119><c> her</c>

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:54.299
own<00:19:52.700><c> making,</c><00:19:52.859><c> was</c><00:19:52.960><c> it?</c>

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:58.019
So<00:19:56.240><c> she's</c><00:19:56.519><c> now</c><00:19:56.740><c> being</c><00:19:57.000><c> tested</c><00:19:57.380><c> by</c><00:19:57.700><c> God</c>

00:19:58.019 --> 00:19:59.720
in<00:19:58.299><c> a</c><00:19:58.460><c> different</c><00:19:58.680><c> way.</c>

00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:02.380
She's<00:20:01.099><c> being</c><00:20:01.539><c> confronted</c><00:20:01.980><c> with</c><00:20:02.180><c> the</c>

00:20:02.380 --> 00:20:04.099
problem<00:20:02.720><c> and</c><00:20:03.079><c> saying,</c><00:20:03.279><c> now</c><00:20:03.420><c> what</c><00:20:03.579><c> are</c><00:20:03.700><c> you</c><00:20:03.779><c> going</c><00:20:03.900><c> to</c><00:20:03.940><c> do</c>

00:20:04.099 --> 00:20:06.240
about<00:20:04.319><c> this</c><00:20:04.579><c> problem?</c><00:20:05.259><c> And</c><00:20:05.440><c> what</c><00:20:05.579><c> she</c><00:20:05.799><c> did</c><00:20:06.039><c> was</c>

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.920
she<00:20:06.400><c> said,</c><00:20:06.940><c> I'm</c><00:20:07.160><c> going</c><00:20:07.259><c> to</c><00:20:07.359><c> go</c><00:20:07.480><c> with</c><00:20:07.599><c> God.</c>

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.160
Whatever

00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.259
is<00:20:10.680><c> right</c><00:20:10.900><c> with</c><00:20:11.079><c> him</c><00:20:11.460><c> is</c><00:20:11.819><c> going</c><00:20:11.920><c> to</c><00:20:12.000><c> be</c><00:20:12.140><c> right</c>

with<00:20:12.420><c> me.</c>

00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.099
Now<00:20:14.019><c> it's</c><00:20:14.160><c> not</c><00:20:14.319><c> easy</c><00:20:14.579><c> in</c><00:20:14.759><c> life</c><00:20:14.980><c> when</c><00:20:15.140><c> you</c><00:20:15.279><c> have</c><00:20:15.400><c> a</c><00:20:15.640><c> problem</c>

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.160
God's<00:20:20.640><c> will.</c><00:20:20.940><c> So</c><00:20:21.079><c> how</c><00:20:21.180><c> do</c><00:20:21.339><c> we</c><00:20:21.359><c> go</c><00:20:21.559><c> about</c><00:20:21.779><c> that?</c>

had<00:21:47.200><c> a</c><00:21:47.380><c> set</c><00:21:47.539><c> time</c><00:21:47.779><c> for</c><00:21:48.039><c> prayer.</c>

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:50.200
David<00:21:49.859><c> prayed</c>

00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:51.940
three<00:21:50.500><c> times</c><00:21:50.799><c> a</c><00:21:51.000><c> day.</c>

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:54.359
Daniel<00:21:52.579><c> always</c><00:21:52.940><c> prayed</c><00:21:53.180><c> three</c><00:21:53.460><c> times</c><00:21:53.759><c> a</c><00:21:53.940><c> day.</c>

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:55.920
Morning,<00:21:55.119><c> middle</c><00:21:55.359><c> of</c><00:21:55.500><c> the</c><00:21:55.539><c> day,</c>

00:21:56.059 --> 00:21:57.359
and<00:21:56.160><c> in</c><00:21:56.339><c> the</c><00:21:56.380><c> evening.</c>

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.980
But,<00:22:03.440><c> it's</c><00:22:03.579><c> interesting</c>

00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:05.839
you<00:22:04.119><c> see,</c><00:22:04.380><c> well</c><00:22:04.400><c> he</c><00:22:04.539><c> got</c><00:22:04.740><c> thrown</c><00:22:04.880><c> into</c><00:22:05.039><c> the</c><00:22:05.200><c> lions.</c>

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:08.099
God<00:22:06.279><c> doesn't</c><00:22:06.579><c> say</c><00:22:06.779><c> he's</c><00:22:06.940><c> not</c><00:22:07.119><c> going</c><00:22:07.279><c> to</c><00:22:07.400><c> test</c><00:22:07.619><c> you</c>

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:10.039
or<00:22:08.420><c> God</c><00:22:08.759><c> doesn't</c><00:22:09.019><c> say</c><00:22:09.180><c> I'm</c><00:22:09.339><c> going</c><00:22:09.440><c> to</c><00:22:09.500><c> take</c><00:22:09.640><c> the</c><00:22:09.819><c> problems</c>

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.220
What<00:22:11.599><c> God</c><00:22:11.839><c> says</c><00:22:12.160><c> is,</c><00:22:12.539><c> I'll</c><00:22:12.599><c> help</c><00:22:12.700><c> you</c><00:22:12.920><c> through</c><00:22:13.059><c> your</c><00:22:13.279><c> problems.</c>

00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:15.980
And<00:22:14.900><c> you'll</c><00:22:15.140><c> notice</c><00:22:15.339><c> in</c><00:22:15.519><c> the</c><00:22:15.740><c> story</c>

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:18.119
with<00:22:16.440><c> the</c><00:22:16.839><c> three</c><00:22:17.059><c> men</c><00:22:17.240><c> who</c><00:22:17.339><c> got</c><00:22:17.519><c> thrown</c><00:22:17.700><c> into</c><00:22:17.920><c> the</c>

00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:19.940
fiery<00:22:18.319><c> furnace,</c><00:22:19.259><c> their</c><00:22:19.460><c> attitude</c>

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:21.140
was,

00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.019
we<00:22:22.240><c> don't</c><00:22:22.519><c> know</c><00:22:22.740><c> whether</c><00:22:22.960><c> we'll</c><00:22:23.220><c> survive</c><00:22:23.680><c> being</c>

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:25.960
thrown<00:22:24.200><c> into</c><00:22:24.440><c> the</c><00:22:24.619><c> fiery</c><00:22:24.839><c> furnace,</c><00:22:25.220><c> but</c><00:22:25.359><c> we</c><00:22:25.500><c> don't</c><00:22:25.680><c> really</c>

00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.039
care.

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:30.039
Because<00:22:27.779><c> we</c><00:22:27.980><c> still</c><00:22:28.279><c> believe</c><00:22:28.619><c> in</c><00:22:28.819><c> God</c><00:22:29.099><c> and</c><00:22:29.319><c> we</c><00:22:29.440><c> still</c><00:22:29.700><c> trust</c>

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.019
in<00:22:30.279><c> God.</c><00:22:31.039><c> And</c><00:22:31.279><c> if</c><00:22:31.380><c> it's</c><00:22:31.519><c> God's</c><00:22:31.900><c> will</c>

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:34.259
that<00:22:32.140><c> we</c><00:22:32.319><c> should</c><00:22:32.500><c> die,</c><00:22:33.000><c> well</c><00:22:33.099><c> we'll</c><00:22:33.380><c> die.</c>

00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:36.000
And<00:22:34.500><c> if</c><00:22:34.599><c> it's</c><00:22:34.740><c> God's</c><00:22:35.059><c> will</c><00:22:35.200><c> that</c><00:22:35.339><c> we</c><00:22:35.519><c> shouldn't</c><00:22:35.740><c> die,</c>

00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:37.619
well<00:22:36.220><c> then</c><00:22:36.400><c> we</c><00:22:36.460><c> won't</c><00:22:36.680><c> die.</c>

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:39.599
Because<00:22:38.599><c> that's</c><00:22:38.920><c> what</c><00:22:39.200><c> happens</c>

00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:41.420
when<00:22:39.839><c> you</c><00:22:40.519><c> build</c><00:22:40.799><c> a</c><00:22:41.019><c> relationship</c>

00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:43.619
with<00:22:41.599><c> God</c><00:22:41.819><c> through</c><00:22:42.160><c> prayer.</c>

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:45.319
Would<00:22:44.440><c> anybody</c><00:22:44.759><c> in</c><00:22:44.920><c> this</c><00:22:45.059><c> room</c>

00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.339
say<00:22:45.660><c> that</c><00:22:46.500><c> they</c>

00:22:47.339 --> 00:22:49.630
know<00:22:47.599><c> that</c><00:22:47.799><c> God</c><00:22:47.980><c> has</c><00:22:48.200><c> done</c><00:22:48.319><c> things</c><00:22:48.619><c> for</c><00:22:48.839><c> them?</c>

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.420
Done<00:22:54.759><c> something</c><00:22:55.099><c> for</c><00:22:55.319><c> you,</c>

00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.759
in<00:22:55.579><c> your</c><00:22:55.759><c> life?</c>

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.839
Yeah?

00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:00.599
Yeah.

00:23:18.740 --> 00:23:19.680
Okay.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.220
Anybody<00:23:20.299><c> else</c><00:23:20.599><c> feel</c><00:23:20.859><c> that</c>

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:23.240
they<00:23:21.359><c> know</c><00:23:21.640><c> that</c><00:23:21.799><c> God's</c><00:23:22.460><c> worked</c><00:23:22.680><c> in</c><00:23:22.819><c> their</c><00:23:23.019><c> life</c>

00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.559

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.259
Well,<00:23:31.980><c> yeah,</c><00:23:32.680><c> birth</c><00:23:32.880><c> and</c><00:23:33.079><c> death</c>

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:35.940
are<00:23:33.460><c> things</c><00:23:33.619><c> that</c><00:23:33.799><c> we</c><00:23:33.900><c> don't</c><00:23:34.039><c> have</c><00:23:34.140><c> any</c><00:23:34.380><c> control</c><00:23:34.740><c> over,</c><00:23:34.980><c> usually.</c>

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.299
You<00:23:37.119><c> know,</c><00:23:38.500><c> we</c><00:23:38.779><c> don't</c><00:23:39.019><c> choose</c>

00:23:41.299 --> 00:23:43.200
do<00:23:41.440><c> we?</c><00:23:42.559><c> Those</c><00:23:42.759><c> two</c><00:23:42.980><c> things</c>

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.460
usually<00:23:43.500><c> are</c><00:23:43.720><c> in</c><00:23:43.859><c> the</c><00:23:43.859><c> hand</c><00:23:44.099><c> of</c><00:23:44.240><c> God.</c>

00:23:46.019 --> 00:23:47.720
In<00:23:46.359><c> that</c><00:23:46.660><c> sense.</c>

00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:54.799
Yeah,<00:23:53.700><c> well</c><00:23:53.900><c> anything.</c><00:23:54.420><c> I</c><00:23:54.500><c> mean,</c>

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:57.200
it's<00:23:55.160><c> very</c><00:23:55.359><c> interesting</c><00:23:55.720><c> because</c><00:23:55.940><c> you</c><00:23:56.140><c> see,</c><00:23:56.559><c> why</c><00:23:56.740><c> do</c><00:23:56.960><c> we</c><00:23:56.960><c> bother</c>

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:58.599
praying<00:23:57.539><c> to</c><00:23:57.759><c> God?</c>

00:23:59.019 --> 00:24:01.200
If<00:23:59.220><c> we</c><00:23:59.339><c> don't</c><00:23:59.519><c> believe</c><00:23:59.779><c> God</c><00:23:59.960><c> actually</c><00:24:00.579><c> does</c>

00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:02.880
things<00:24:01.559><c> for</c><00:24:01.799><c> us,</c>

00:24:03.099 --> 00:24:05.400
why<00:24:03.400><c> do</c><00:24:03.539><c> we</c><00:24:03.640><c> bother</c><00:24:03.880><c> praying</c><00:24:04.140><c> to</c><00:24:04.240><c> God?</c><00:24:04.460><c> And</c><00:24:04.559><c> if</c><00:24:04.700><c> we</c><00:24:04.920><c> pray</c><00:24:05.099><c> to</c><00:24:05.200><c> God,</c>

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.059
surely<00:24:05.660><c> that's</c><00:24:06.039><c> us</c><00:24:06.220><c> saying,</c>

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:09.099
I<00:24:07.119><c> actually</c><00:24:07.480><c> believe</c><00:24:07.940><c> God</c><00:24:08.259><c> will</c><00:24:08.519><c> do</c><00:24:08.759><c> something</c>

00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:11.000
in<00:24:09.299><c> my</c><00:24:09.539><c> life</c><00:24:09.759><c> for</c><00:24:10.079><c> me.</c>

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:13.380
So<00:24:11.220><c> if</c><00:24:11.359><c> we</c><00:24:11.619><c> believe</c><00:24:11.900><c> that,</c><00:24:12.259><c> then</c><00:24:12.380><c> surely</c><00:24:12.559><c> we</c><00:24:12.740><c> must</c><00:24:12.940><c> be</c><00:24:13.059><c> able</c><00:24:13.140><c> to</c><00:24:13.180><c> look</c>

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:14.700
at<00:24:13.539><c> our</c><00:24:13.759><c> life</c>

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:16.940
and<00:24:15.259><c> actually</c><00:24:15.599><c> see</c><00:24:16.059><c> on</c><00:24:16.380><c> occasions</c>

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:19.119
where<00:24:17.440><c> He</c><00:24:17.539><c> has</c><00:24:17.759><c> helped</c><00:24:18.019><c> us.</c>

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:21.980
Now,<00:24:20.480><c> if</c><00:24:20.519><c> you</c><00:24:20.700><c> can't</c><00:24:20.960><c> do</c><00:24:21.220><c> that,</c>

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:23.440
then<00:24:22.759><c> you've</c><00:24:23.319><c> got</c>

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:24.960
the<00:24:23.559><c> wrong</c><00:24:23.720><c> glasses</c><00:24:24.079><c> on.</c>

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:28.319
You<00:24:25.859><c> know,</c><00:24:25.859><c> you</c><00:24:26.119><c> may</c><00:24:26.279><c> not</c><00:24:26.460><c> see</c><00:24:26.660><c> it</c><00:24:26.740><c> at</c><00:24:26.940><c> the</c><00:24:27.220><c> time,</c>

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:29.119
but<00:24:28.680><c> even</c>

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.759
in<00:24:29.720><c> hindsight,</c><00:24:30.279><c> you</c><00:24:30.420><c> should</c><00:24:30.680><c> be</c><00:24:30.960><c> able</c><00:24:31.119><c> to</c><00:24:31.420><c> say,</c>

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:33.660
I<00:24:32.339><c> know</c><00:24:32.859><c> that</c><00:24:33.240><c> God</c>

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:37.960
Now,<00:24:35.680><c> you</c><00:24:35.839><c> could</c><00:24:36.039><c> look</c><00:24:36.200><c> back</c><00:24:36.420><c> on</c><00:24:36.579><c> your</c><00:24:36.799><c> life</c><00:24:36.980><c> as</c>

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:44.099
God<00:24:41.599><c> helped</c><00:24:41.859><c> me</c><00:24:42.200><c> in</c><00:24:42.440><c> putting</c><00:24:42.680><c> me</c><00:24:43.019><c> in</c><00:24:43.279><c> a</c>

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:45.779
family<00:24:44.539><c> environment</c><00:24:45.099><c> where</c><00:24:45.359><c> I</c><00:24:45.559><c> could</c>

00:24:45.779 --> 00:24:47.700
be<00:24:46.339><c> brought</c><00:24:46.579><c> up</c><00:24:46.839><c> to</c><00:24:47.019><c> know</c><00:24:47.240><c> God</c>

00:24:51.700 --> 00:24:53.539
is<00:24:51.960><c> a</c><00:24:52.039><c> blessing</c><00:24:52.319><c> from</c><00:24:52.579><c> God.</c>

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:55.799
Do<00:24:55.299><c> you</c><00:24:55.299><c> remember</c><00:24:55.519><c> when</c><00:24:55.660><c> we</c>

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.160
looked<00:24:56.019><c> at</c><00:24:56.200><c> that</c><00:24:56.859><c> other</c><00:24:57.160><c> slide?</c>

00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:01.819
I'll<00:25:01.680><c> just</c>

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:04.660
put<00:25:01.920><c> it</c><00:25:02.059><c> back</c><00:25:02.240><c> up</c><00:25:02.400><c> a</c><00:25:04.160><c> minute.</c>

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:09.839
God<00:25:08.579><c> needed</c><00:25:08.960><c> a</c><00:25:09.180><c> man,</c><00:25:09.660><c> David,</c>

00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:11.259
here,

00:25:11.779 --> 00:25:13.900
but<00:25:12.339><c> he</c><00:25:12.420><c> didn't</c><00:25:12.720><c> wait</c><00:25:13.279><c> until</c>

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:15.799
the<00:25:14.180><c> man</c><00:25:14.400><c> was</c><00:25:14.740><c> needed.</c>

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.859
God<00:25:16.680><c> had</c><00:25:16.900><c> to</c><00:25:17.160><c> work</c><00:25:17.359><c> in</c><00:25:17.579><c> the</c><00:25:17.680><c> life</c>

00:25:17.859 --> 00:25:19.980
of<00:25:18.160><c> Boaz</c><00:25:18.599><c> and</c><00:25:18.900><c> Ruth,</c>

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:21.359
Obed<00:25:20.619><c> and</c><00:25:20.900><c> Jesse,</c>

00:25:21.819 --> 00:25:24.579
to<00:25:22.079><c> make</c><00:25:22.319><c> sure</c><00:25:22.579><c> David</c><00:25:23.339><c> came</c>

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.839
and<00:25:25.319><c> was</c><00:25:25.559><c> available</c>

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.880
to<00:25:26.640><c> be</c><00:25:26.880><c> used</c><00:25:27.160><c> by</c><00:25:27.519><c> God</c>

00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:30.180
when<00:25:28.200><c> God</c><00:25:28.440><c> needed</c><00:25:28.720><c> him.</c>

00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:32.079
So,

00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.039
the<00:25:32.480><c> question</c><00:25:32.759><c> you</c><00:25:32.900><c> have</c><00:25:33.059><c> to</c><00:25:33.200><c> ask</c><00:25:33.420><c> yourselves</c>

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.339
once<00:25:34.680><c> you</c><00:25:34.980><c> start</c><00:25:35.279><c> to</c>

00:25:36.460 --> 00:25:37.980
see<00:25:36.859><c> God</c><00:25:37.180><c> working</c><00:25:37.559><c> in</c><00:25:37.759><c> your</c>

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:39.680
life<00:25:38.279><c> is</c><00:25:38.519><c> to</c><00:25:38.740><c> say,</c><00:25:39.500><c> well,</c>

00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:41.140
where<00:25:40.039><c> does</c><00:25:40.180><c> God</c><00:25:40.359><c> want</c><00:25:40.559><c> me</c><00:25:40.759><c> to</c><00:25:40.940><c> go?</c>

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:43.279
What<00:25:41.440><c> does</c><00:25:41.680><c> God</c><00:25:41.920><c> want</c><00:25:42.140><c> me</c><00:25:42.319><c> to</c><00:25:42.500><c> do?</c>

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:45.819
Now,<00:25:44.519><c> you</c><00:25:44.619><c> can</c><00:25:44.940><c> plan</c><00:25:45.099><c> your</c><00:25:45.339><c> careers</c>

00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:48.019
and<00:25:46.079><c> your</c><00:25:46.259><c> jobs</c><00:25:46.779><c> and</c><00:25:47.519><c> your</c><00:25:47.740><c> life.</c>

00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:49.720
There's<00:25:48.339><c> nothing</c><00:25:48.460><c> wrong</c><00:25:48.720><c> in</c><00:25:48.920><c> that.</c>

00:25:49.980 --> 00:25:51.759
But<00:25:50.140><c> you</c><00:25:50.259><c> should</c><00:25:50.440><c> do</c><00:25:50.579><c> it</c><00:25:50.740><c> always</c><00:25:50.980><c> with</c><00:25:51.160><c> that</c><00:25:51.420><c> question</c>

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:53.980
in<00:25:52.039><c> mind,</c><00:25:52.759><c> is</c><00:25:53.119><c> this</c><00:25:53.359><c> the</c><00:25:53.519><c> sort</c><00:25:53.640><c> of</c><00:25:53.740><c> thing</c>

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:55.799
that<00:25:53.980><c> God</c><00:25:54.180><c> wants</c><00:25:54.440><c> me</c><00:25:54.660><c> to</c><00:25:54.779><c> do?</c><00:25:54.960><c> Is</c><00:25:55.059><c> this</c><00:25:55.240><c> the</c><00:25:55.319><c> sort</c><00:25:55.480><c> of</c><00:25:55.619><c> work</c>

00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.880
that<00:25:55.960><c> God</c><00:25:56.119><c> would</c><00:25:56.339><c> have</c><00:25:56.480><c> me</c><00:25:56.700><c> do?</c><00:25:57.319><c> Is</c><00:25:57.500><c> this</c><00:25:57.700><c> work</c>

00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.460
going<00:25:58.079><c> to</c><00:25:58.240><c> help</c><00:25:58.400><c> me</c><00:25:58.740><c> in</c><00:25:58.859><c> my</c><00:25:59.160><c> service</c><00:25:59.420><c> to</c><00:25:59.599><c> God?</c>

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:02.019
Are<00:26:01.759><c> these</c>

00:26:02.019 --> 00:26:03.980
qualifications,<00:26:02.920><c> is</c><00:26:03.059><c> this</c><00:26:03.220><c> study</c><00:26:03.500><c> going</c><00:26:03.700><c> to</c><00:26:03.839><c> be</c>

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:08.099
Because,

00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:10.160
you<00:26:08.740><c> see,</c><00:26:08.859><c> once</c><00:26:09.099><c> you</c><00:26:09.279><c> start</c><00:26:09.640><c> to</c>

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.859
think<00:26:10.400><c> that</c><00:26:10.720><c> way,</c><00:26:11.099><c> it</c><00:26:11.200><c> becomes</c><00:26:11.559><c> less</c>

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:14.259
a<00:26:12.059><c> question</c><00:26:12.619><c> of</c><00:26:12.859><c> using</c><00:26:13.180><c> God</c><00:26:13.380><c> as</c><00:26:13.640><c> a</c><00:26:13.740><c> first</c><00:26:13.980><c> aid</c>

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:15.019
kit.

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:17.839
Most<00:26:16.059><c> people</c><00:26:16.359><c> use</c><00:26:16.640><c> God</c><00:26:16.839><c> as</c><00:26:17.039><c> a</c><00:26:17.119><c> first</c><00:26:17.400><c> aid</c><00:26:17.619><c> kit.</c>

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:19.640
You<00:26:18.319><c> know,</c><00:26:18.319><c> you</c><00:26:18.420><c> cut</c><00:26:18.579><c> your</c><00:26:18.799><c> finger,</c><00:26:19.039><c> you</c><00:26:19.160><c> run</c><00:26:19.240><c> to</c><00:26:19.319><c> the</c><00:26:19.460><c> first</c>

aid<00:26:19.779><c> kit</c>

00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:21.599
and<00:26:20.000><c> you</c><00:26:20.099><c> get</c><00:26:20.359><c> a</c><00:26:20.559><c> plaster</c><00:26:20.819><c> for</c><00:26:21.079><c> it.</c>

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.640
Then<00:26:22.039><c> you</c><00:26:22.160><c> go</c><00:26:22.400><c> back</c><00:26:22.599><c> off</c><00:26:22.779><c> and</c><00:26:22.920><c> you</c><00:26:23.019><c> don't</c><00:26:23.200><c> think</c><00:26:23.420><c> about</c>

00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:25.079
the<00:26:23.839><c> first</c><00:26:24.059><c> aid</c><00:26:24.259><c> kit</c><00:26:24.380><c> again.</c>

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:27.700
So<00:26:25.480><c> you</c><00:26:25.599><c> need</c><00:26:25.819><c> it.</c>

00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:29.880
You<00:26:28.119><c> break</c><00:26:28.380><c> your</c><00:26:28.559><c> collarbone,</c><00:26:28.900><c> you</c><00:26:28.940><c> need</c><00:26:29.099><c> a</c><00:26:29.319><c> sling.</c>

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:31.759
You<00:26:30.359><c> rush</c><00:26:30.579><c> off</c><00:26:30.759><c> again.</c>

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.680
And<00:26:32.799><c> that's</c><00:26:32.980><c> how</c><00:26:33.140><c> most</c><00:26:33.359><c> people</c>

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.900
use<00:26:34.000><c> God.</c>

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:37.380
But<00:26:36.220><c> it</c><00:26:36.299><c> isn't</c><00:26:36.500><c> meant</c><00:26:36.700><c> to</c><00:26:36.859><c> be</c><00:26:36.980><c> like</c><00:26:37.200><c> that.</c>

00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:39.799
It's<00:26:37.720><c> meant</c><00:26:37.900><c> to</c><00:26:38.160><c> be</c><00:26:38.359><c> a</c><00:26:38.759><c> continual,</c><00:26:39.700><c> everyday</c>

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.900
thing.<00:26:40.220><c> We're</c><00:26:40.359><c> supposed</c><00:26:40.680><c> to</c><00:26:40.819><c> be</c><00:26:40.980><c> aware</c><00:26:41.259><c> of</c><00:26:41.420><c> God</c>

00:26:41.900 --> 00:26:43.460
and<00:26:42.420><c> of</c><00:26:42.579><c> Christ</c><00:26:42.880><c> in</c><00:26:43.039><c> our</c><00:26:43.200><c> life</c>

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:45.380
and<00:26:44.039><c> organise</c><00:26:44.559><c> our</c><00:26:44.799><c> lives</c>

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:48.279
accordingly<00:26:46.039><c> and</c><00:26:46.920><c> walk</c><00:26:47.240><c> together.</c>

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:50.259
So,

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.700
seeing<00:26:52.019><c> ways</c><00:26:52.359><c> in</c><00:26:52.539><c> which</c>

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:53.920
God<00:26:52.920><c> works,</c>

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:56.039
how<00:26:54.859><c> many</c><00:26:55.240><c> of</c><00:26:55.420><c> you</c><00:26:55.579><c> people</c><00:26:55.819><c> have</c>

00:27:01.859 --> 00:27:04.180
No?<00:27:02.819><c> Ever</c><00:27:03.019><c> seen</c><00:27:03.180><c> an</c><00:27:03.339><c> angel?</c>

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.460
Alright.

00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:11.559
How<00:27:09.940><c> many</c><00:27:10.099><c> have</c><00:27:10.200><c> not</c><00:27:10.400><c> seen</c><00:27:10.599><c> an</c><00:27:10.779><c> angel?</c>

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:16.519
Right.<00:27:14.819><c> You</c><00:27:15.000><c> don't</c><00:27:15.160><c> know,</c><00:27:15.480><c> do</c><00:27:15.539><c> you?</c>

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:19.380
Or<00:27:17.319><c> shouldn't</c><00:27:17.539><c> that</c><00:27:17.740><c> tell</c><00:27:17.940><c> you</c><00:27:18.039><c> something</c><00:27:18.319><c> then?</c>

00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.279
You<00:27:20.039><c> don't</c><00:27:20.319><c> know</c><00:27:20.700><c> when</c><00:27:20.900><c> you're</c><00:27:21.059><c> meeting</c><00:27:21.380><c> an</c><00:27:21.640><c> angel</c><00:27:21.819><c> or</c><00:27:22.119><c> not.</c>

00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:26.200
And<00:27:24.220><c> the</c><00:27:24.339><c> Bible</c><00:27:24.619><c> says,</c><00:27:25.339><c> beware</c>

00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.519
lest<00:27:26.700><c> you</c><00:27:26.859><c> entertain</c><00:27:27.259><c> angels</c><00:27:27.700><c> unawares.</c>

00:27:29.819 --> 00:27:32.839
The<00:27:30.079><c> angels</c><00:27:30.400><c> are</c><00:27:30.759><c> all</c><00:27:30.960><c> around</c><00:27:31.180><c> us,</c><00:27:31.599><c> all</c><00:27:31.819><c> the</c><00:27:31.960><c> time.</c>

00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:36.319
And<00:27:34.539><c> that</c><00:27:34.700><c> should</c><00:27:34.819><c> make</c><00:27:35.000><c> a</c><00:27:35.039><c> big</c><00:27:35.240><c> difference</c><00:27:35.539><c> to</c><00:27:35.680><c> the</c><00:27:35.680><c> way</c><00:27:35.880><c> we</c><00:27:36.119><c> think</c>

00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.460
because<00:27:36.539><c> that's</c><00:27:36.920><c> how</c><00:27:37.119><c> God</c><00:27:37.359><c> works.</c>

00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:40.539
He<00:27:39.400><c> sends</c><00:27:39.559><c> forth</c><00:27:39.859><c> His</c><00:27:40.079><c> angels</c>

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:42.220
and<00:27:40.980><c> their</c><00:27:41.160><c> ministering</c><00:27:41.839><c> spirits</c>

00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:44.319
to<00:27:42.440><c> those</c><00:27:42.759><c> that</c><00:27:42.940><c> shall</c><00:27:43.059><c> be</c><00:27:43.279><c> the</c><00:27:43.420><c> heirs</c><00:27:43.599><c> of</c><00:27:43.839><c> salvation.</c>

00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.619
That's<00:27:45.039><c> the</c><00:27:45.160><c> promise</c><00:27:45.460><c> of</c><00:27:45.660><c> the</c><00:27:45.779><c> Bible.</c>

00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.420
That's<00:27:47.359><c> how</c><00:27:47.559><c> the</c><00:27:47.720><c> power</c><00:27:48.019><c> of</c><00:27:48.200><c> God</c>

00:27:48.420 --> 00:27:51.220
is<00:27:48.740><c> spread</c><00:27:48.859><c> abroad</c><00:27:49.180><c> through</c><00:27:49.460><c> the</c><00:27:49.559><c> whole</c><00:27:49.839><c> face</c><00:27:50.059><c> of</c><00:27:50.259><c> the</c><00:27:50.339><c> Earth.</c>

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:54.819
So<00:27:52.559><c> those</c><00:27:52.799><c> angels</c><00:27:53.039><c> are</c><00:27:53.259><c> everywhere.</c><00:27:54.019><c> They're</c><00:27:54.019><c> here.</c>

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:58.200
Wherever<00:27:56.720><c> you</c><00:27:56.920><c> go</c><00:27:57.019><c> in</c><00:27:57.160><c> the</c><00:27:57.319><c> world,</c>

00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:00.119
they're<00:27:58.759><c> always</c><00:27:59.019><c> there.</c>

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:02.960
And<00:28:01.119><c> God</c><00:28:01.319><c> works</c><00:28:01.740><c> in</c><00:28:01.960><c> your</c><00:28:02.099><c> life.</c>

00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:04.859
So,

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:06.980
although<00:28:05.160><c> at</c><00:28:05.400><c> times</c><00:28:05.599><c> you</c><00:28:05.700><c> may</c><00:28:05.960><c> feel</c><00:28:06.220><c> that</c>

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:08.720
Ruth<00:28:07.519><c> probably</c><00:28:07.859><c> felt</c><00:28:08.059><c> pretty</c><00:28:08.339><c> desperate</c>

00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:10.200
at<00:28:09.019><c> times,</c>

00:28:10.460 --> 00:28:12.480
the<00:28:10.619><c> thought</c><00:28:10.940><c> of</c><00:28:11.480><c> poverty,</c>

00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.000
caring<00:28:13.079><c> for</c><00:28:13.339><c> an</c><00:28:13.559><c> aged</c><00:28:13.740><c> mother</c><00:28:14.079><c>-in</c><00:28:14.279><c>-law,</c>

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:16.759
no<00:28:15.599><c> income,</c><00:28:16.099><c> no</c><00:28:16.299><c> husband,</c>

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.400
life<00:28:17.319><c> must</c><00:28:17.519><c> have</c><00:28:17.640><c> looked</c><00:28:17.779><c> pretty</c><00:28:18.119><c> bleak</c><00:28:18.299><c> for</c><00:28:18.460><c> her.</c>

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:20.759
But<00:28:20.039><c> she</c><00:28:20.319><c> stuck</c>

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:23.420
with<00:28:21.480><c> her</c><00:28:22.140><c> original</c>

00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:24.519
commitment.

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:26.720
She<00:28:25.859><c> saw</c><00:28:26.140><c> the</c><00:28:26.359><c> choice</c>

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.680
that<00:28:26.880><c> there</c><00:28:27.000><c> is</c><00:28:27.160><c> only</c><00:28:27.400><c> one</c><00:28:27.619><c> true</c><00:28:27.859><c> God</c>

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:30.640
and<00:28:29.220><c> it</c><00:28:29.240><c> doesn't</c><00:28:29.440><c> matter</c><00:28:29.619><c> what</c><00:28:29.819><c> happens</c><00:28:30.240><c> to</c><00:28:30.440><c> me,</c>

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:32.380
I'm<00:28:30.819><c> going</c><00:28:31.019><c> to</c><00:28:31.059><c> keep</c><00:28:31.519><c> my</c><00:28:32.039><c> commitment</c>

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:34.039
to<00:28:32.559><c> that</c><00:28:32.759><c> one</c><00:28:32.980><c> true</c><00:28:33.180><c> God.</c>

00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:35.779
So<00:28:34.400><c> having</c><00:28:34.680><c> started</c><00:28:34.940><c> out</c><00:28:35.220><c> on</c><00:28:35.359><c> that</c><00:28:35.519><c> road,</c>

00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:37.640
she<00:28:36.059><c> kept</c><00:28:36.339><c> to</c><00:28:36.519><c> it.</c>

00:28:37.980 --> 00:28:39.019
And<00:28:38.099><c> so</c><00:28:38.319><c> ultimately,</c>

00:28:39.019 --> 00:28:40.660
one<00:28:39.740><c> family</c><00:28:40.180><c> dies,</c>

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:43.380
a<00:28:40.980><c> new</c><00:28:41.119><c> family</c><00:28:41.420><c> is</c><00:28:41.619><c> born.</c><00:28:42.359><c> Old</c><00:28:42.619><c> life</c><00:28:42.900><c> goes,</c>

00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:44.920
new<00:28:43.900><c> life</c><00:28:44.359><c> begins.</c>

00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:47.240
And<00:28:45.440><c> that's</c><00:28:45.559><c> what</c><00:28:45.700><c> happens</c><00:28:45.900><c> to</c><00:28:46.099><c> all</c><00:28:46.200><c> of</c><00:28:46.299><c> us.</c>

00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:49.140
Now<00:28:48.799><c> the</c><00:28:48.880><c> Bible</c>

00:28:49.140 --> 00:28:50.599
is<00:28:49.259><c> very</c><00:28:49.660><c> clear.</c>

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:53.519
Let's<00:28:52.019><c> just</c><00:28:52.180><c> go</c><00:28:52.299><c> to</c><00:28:52.480><c> Psalm</c><00:28:52.720><c> 34.</c>

00:28:58.500 --> 00:29:00.039
On<00:28:59.019><c> this...</c>

00:29:13.299 --> 00:29:15.019
The<00:29:13.940><c> Psalm</c><00:29:14.259><c> 34</c>

00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:17.079
was<00:29:15.500><c> written</c><00:29:15.740><c> by</c><00:29:16.079><c> David</c>

00:29:17.539 --> 00:29:19.339
after<00:29:18.180><c> he</c><00:29:18.380><c> had</c><00:29:18.619><c> escaped</c>

00:29:19.339 --> 00:29:21.220
from<00:29:20.119><c> Abimelek.</c>

00:29:23.259 --> 00:29:25.160
And<00:29:23.420><c> the</c><00:29:23.579><c> story</c><00:29:23.799><c> of</c><00:29:23.960><c> David's</c><00:29:24.480><c> escape</c><00:29:24.700><c> from</c>

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:26.579
Abimelek<00:29:25.700><c> is</c><00:29:25.960><c> in</c>

00:29:26.579 --> 00:29:29.059
1<00:29:26.880><c> Samuel</c><00:29:27.200><c> chapter</c><00:29:27.819><c> 21.</c>

00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:30.200
And<00:29:29.740><c> when</c><00:29:29.839><c> you</c><00:29:30.019><c> read</c>

00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:32.720
1<00:29:30.460><c> Samuel</c><00:29:30.660><c> 21,</c><00:29:31.220><c> what</c><00:29:31.359><c> you</c><00:29:31.599><c> find</c><00:29:31.900><c> is</c>

00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:34.500
that<00:29:33.579><c> David</c><00:29:34.039><c> acted</c>

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:36.079
like<00:29:34.799><c> a</c><00:29:34.940><c> madman.</c>

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.940
He

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:38.519
scrabbled<00:29:37.819><c> on</c><00:29:38.000><c> the</c><00:29:38.240><c> ground,</c>

00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:40.839
he<00:29:39.000><c> dribbled</c><00:29:39.359><c> down</c><00:29:39.539><c> his</c><00:29:39.920><c> beard,</c>

00:29:40.859 --> 00:29:42.960
he<00:29:40.859><c> obviously</c><00:29:41.359><c> looked</c><00:29:42.000><c> unkempt,</c>

00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:44.559
and<00:29:43.180><c> the</c><00:29:43.319><c> king</c><00:29:43.460><c> couldn't</c><00:29:43.700><c> believe</c><00:29:44.039><c> that</c><00:29:44.220><c> this</c><00:29:44.359><c> was</c>

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:46.579
David<00:29:44.819><c> the</c><00:29:45.019><c> great</c><00:29:45.220><c> warrior,</c><00:29:46.160><c> and</c><00:29:46.380><c> so</c>

00:29:46.579 --> 00:29:48.619
said,<00:29:46.940><c> throw</c><00:29:47.000><c> this</c><00:29:47.299><c> madman</c><00:29:47.660><c> out,</c><00:29:48.099><c> and</c><00:29:48.200><c> that's</c><00:29:48.420><c> how</c>

00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:51.200
David<00:29:48.859><c> escaped</c><00:29:49.319><c> from</c><00:29:49.599><c> the</c><00:29:49.799><c> camp</c><00:29:50.039><c> of</c><00:29:50.220><c> Abimelek.</c>

00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:52.559
And<00:29:52.140><c> when</c><00:29:52.240><c> you</c><00:29:52.420><c> read</c>

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.559
that<00:29:52.859><c> story,</c><00:29:53.240><c> there</c><00:29:53.380><c> is</c><00:29:53.539><c> no</c><00:29:53.799><c> mention</c><00:29:54.079><c> in</c><00:29:54.240><c> that</c>

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:58.539
God<00:29:57.720><c> doing</c><00:29:58.140><c> anything.</c>

00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:00.660
It's<00:29:59.079><c> all</c><00:29:59.279><c> David</c><00:29:59.619><c> does</c><00:29:59.900><c> this,</c><00:30:00.279><c> the</c><00:30:00.420><c> king</c>

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:02.680
says<00:30:00.859><c> that,</c><00:30:01.500><c> David</c><00:30:01.759><c> does</c><00:30:01.940><c> something</c><00:30:02.200><c> else,</c>

00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:04.380
and<00:30:03.160><c> David</c><00:30:03.359><c> escapes.</c>

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.559
But<00:30:05.200><c> Psalm</c><00:30:05.380><c> 34</c><00:30:05.839><c> tells</c><00:30:06.160><c> you</c><00:30:06.319><c> how</c>

00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:09.440
David<00:30:07.079><c> viewed</c><00:30:07.559><c> that</c><00:30:07.940><c> incident</c><00:30:08.140><c> in</c><00:30:08.319><c> his</c><00:30:08.480><c> life.</c>

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:11.059
So<00:30:09.619><c> you</c><00:30:09.799><c> read</c><00:30:09.940><c> verse</c><00:30:10.299><c> 4</c>

00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:13.019
I<00:30:12.039><c> sought</c><00:30:12.500><c> the</c><00:30:12.680><c> Lord</c>

00:30:13.019 --> 00:30:14.460
and<00:30:13.180><c> he</c><00:30:13.319><c> heard</c><00:30:13.599><c> me</c>

00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:17.539
and<00:30:14.839><c> he</c><00:30:15.119><c> delivered</c><00:30:15.319><c> me</c><00:30:15.839><c> from</c><00:30:16.079><c> all</c><00:30:16.240><c> my</c><00:30:16.480><c> fears.</c>

00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:24.920
So<00:30:23.119><c> David</c><00:30:23.640><c> says</c><00:30:23.980><c> that</c><00:30:24.240><c> at</c><00:30:24.440><c> that</c><00:30:24.700><c> time</c>

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:27.059
when<00:30:25.119><c> he</c><00:30:25.240><c> was</c><00:30:25.420><c> ungrateful</c>

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.640
he<00:30:31.319><c> sought</c><00:30:31.779><c> help</c><00:30:32.039><c> from</c><00:30:32.319><c> God</c>

00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:34.700
and<00:30:32.859><c> God</c><00:30:33.059><c> heard</c><00:30:33.319><c> him.</c><00:30:34.119><c> And</c><00:30:34.299><c> then</c><00:30:34.420><c> you</c><00:30:34.480><c> read</c>

00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:37.460
verse<00:30:34.940><c> 6</c>

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:40.619
This<00:30:38.599><c> poor</c><00:30:38.960><c> man</c><00:30:39.259><c> cried</c><00:30:39.660><c> and</c><00:30:39.880><c> the</c><00:30:40.019><c> Lord</c>

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:42.680
heard<00:30:40.920><c> him</c><00:30:41.220><c> and</c><00:30:41.460><c> saved</c><00:30:41.839><c> him</c><00:30:42.339><c> out</c>

00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:44.240
of<00:30:42.779><c> all</c><00:30:42.920><c> his</c><00:30:43.059><c> troubles.</c>

00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.759
So<00:30:45.059><c> David</c><00:30:45.640><c> is</c><00:30:46.140><c> attributing</c>

00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.619
his<00:30:47.180><c> success</c><00:30:47.619><c> in</c><00:30:47.819><c> escaping</c><00:30:48.299><c> to</c>

00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:51.039
God,<00:30:49.240><c> not</c><00:30:49.440><c> to</c><00:30:49.640><c> his</c><00:30:49.779><c> own</c><00:30:50.000><c> ability.</c>

00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:53.480
And<00:30:51.559><c> then</c><00:30:51.680><c> you</c><00:30:51.779><c> see</c><00:30:51.859><c> what</c><00:30:52.000><c> it</c><00:30:52.059><c> says</c><00:30:52.240><c> in</c><00:30:52.420><c> verse</c><00:30:52.640><c> 7</c>

00:30:53.700 --> 00:30:54.839
The<00:30:54.380><c> angel</c>

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:57.099
of<00:30:55.160><c> the</c><00:30:55.319><c> Lord</c><00:30:56.099><c> encampeth</c>

00:30:57.099 --> 00:30:58.539
round<00:30:57.579><c> about</c><00:30:57.920><c> them</c>

00:30:58.539 --> 00:31:01.039
that<00:30:59.099><c> fear</c><00:30:59.500><c> him</c><00:31:00.079><c> and</c><00:31:00.599><c> delivereth</c>

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:02.839
them.<00:31:01.880><c> So</c><00:31:02.299><c> there's</c><00:31:02.559><c> the</c>

00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:05.420
promise<00:31:03.140><c> of</c><00:31:03.380><c> the</c><00:31:03.519><c> Bible</c><00:31:03.880><c> that</c><00:31:04.200><c> the</c><00:31:04.359><c> angels</c><00:31:04.619><c> of</c><00:31:04.880><c> God</c>

00:31:05.420 --> 00:31:07.279
encamp<00:31:06.099><c> round</c><00:31:06.460><c> about.</c>

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:08.960
Now<00:31:08.480><c> that</c><00:31:08.559><c> word</c>

00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:10.619

00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:14.539
mahanahim

00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:17.059
and<00:31:15.720><c> the</c><00:31:15.900><c> word</c><00:31:16.099><c> means</c>

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:18.980

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.140
And<00:31:21.920><c> it</c><00:31:21.960><c> was</c><00:31:22.140><c> the</c><00:31:22.299><c> actual</c><00:31:22.500><c> name</c><00:31:22.700><c> of</c><00:31:22.900><c> a</c>

00:31:27.859 --> 00:31:28.539
mahanahim

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:30.779
It's<00:31:29.019><c> where</c><00:31:29.220><c> Jacob</c><00:31:29.839><c> met</c>

00:31:30.779 --> 00:31:32.039
Esau

00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:34.480
when<00:31:33.259><c> he</c><00:31:33.400><c> came</c><00:31:33.640><c> back</c>

00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.259
from<00:31:35.180><c> exile</c>

00:31:36.619 --> 00:31:38.740
and<00:31:36.920><c> the</c><00:31:38.339><c> fear</c>

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:40.960
of<00:31:39.039><c> Jacob</c><00:31:39.420><c> was</c><00:31:39.759><c> that</c><00:31:39.980><c> Esau</c><00:31:40.359><c> would</c><00:31:40.660><c> attack</c>

00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.460
him<00:31:41.200><c> and</c><00:31:41.299><c> destroy</c><00:31:41.720><c> him</c>

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:45.640
because<00:31:42.859><c> he'd</c><00:31:43.220><c> stolen</c><00:31:43.420><c> the</c><00:31:43.680><c> birthright</c><00:31:44.019><c> all</c><00:31:44.240><c> those</c><00:31:44.400><c> years</c><00:31:44.619><c> ago.</c>

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:46.980
And<00:31:45.859><c> he</c><00:31:46.000><c> wrestles</c><00:31:46.299><c> with</c><00:31:46.460><c> an</c><00:31:46.680><c> angel</c>

00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:48.880
and<00:31:47.500><c> then</c><00:31:47.640><c> he</c><00:31:47.880><c> sees</c><00:31:48.140><c> that</c><00:31:48.420><c> the</c><00:31:48.640><c> angels</c>

00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.039
are<00:31:49.200><c> round</c><00:31:49.400><c> about</c><00:31:49.700><c> him.</c><00:31:50.380><c> There</c><00:31:50.579><c> are</c>

00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:52.539
not<00:31:51.380><c> just</c><00:31:51.740><c> his</c><00:31:52.119><c> camp</c>

00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:54.359
but<00:31:52.980><c> there's</c><00:31:53.220><c> two</c><00:31:53.460><c> camps</c><00:31:53.839><c> in</c><00:31:54.119><c> fact.</c>

00:31:54.660 --> 00:31:57.440
There's<00:31:54.859><c> his</c><00:31:55.140><c> camp</c><00:31:55.460><c> and</c><00:31:55.900><c> the</c><00:31:56.059><c> camp</c><00:31:56.220><c> of</c><00:31:56.420><c> the</c><00:31:56.640><c> angels.</c>

00:31:57.859 --> 00:31:59.000
And<00:31:58.000><c> so</c><00:31:58.160><c> David</c><00:31:58.440><c> is</c><00:31:58.759><c> using</c>

00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.240
that<00:31:59.700><c> word</c><00:31:59.700><c> particularly.</c>

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.039
And<00:32:02.200><c> that's</c><00:32:02.380><c> how</c>

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:04.599
life<00:32:03.359><c> is.</c>

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:07.539
There<00:32:05.299><c> are</c><00:32:05.539><c> always</c><00:32:06.299><c> two</c>

00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:09.079
you<00:32:08.599><c> and</c>

00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:10.460
the<00:32:09.259><c> angels</c><00:32:09.460><c> of</c><00:32:09.720><c> God.</c>

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:13.160
Now<00:32:11.180><c> that</c><00:32:11.240><c> doesn't</c><00:32:11.460><c> mean</c><00:32:11.660><c> to</c><00:32:11.819><c> say</c><00:32:12.579><c> that</c>

00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:14.680
you<00:32:13.539><c> don't</c><00:32:13.839><c> have</c><00:32:14.079><c> free</c><00:32:14.319><c> will.</c>

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:16.759
It<00:32:15.099><c> doesn't</c><00:32:15.200><c> mean</c><00:32:15.339><c> to</c><00:32:15.500><c> say</c><00:32:15.640><c> you</c><00:32:15.740><c> can</c>

00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:19.140
go<00:32:17.079><c> and</c><00:32:17.220><c> do</c><00:32:17.259><c> what</c><00:32:17.400><c> you</c><00:32:17.579><c> like.</c><00:32:18.220><c> You</c><00:32:18.220><c> can.</c>

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:21.019
But<00:32:20.279><c> the</c><00:32:20.440><c> angel</c><00:32:20.579><c> of</c><00:32:20.779><c> God</c>

00:32:21.019 --> 00:32:23.180
is<00:32:21.200><c> there</c><00:32:21.400><c> to</c><00:32:21.660><c> help</c><00:32:21.980><c> you</c>

00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:25.660
when<00:32:23.519><c> you</c><00:32:23.700><c> put</c><00:32:23.900><c> your</c><00:32:24.180><c> trust</c><00:32:24.400><c> in</c><00:32:24.579><c> God</c>

00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:27.119
and<00:32:26.240><c> when</c><00:32:26.619><c> you</c><00:32:26.799><c> do</c>

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.019
the<00:32:27.619><c> things</c><00:32:27.619><c> that</c><00:32:27.880><c> God</c><00:32:28.240><c> wants</c><00:32:28.720><c> you</c><00:32:28.900><c> to</c><00:32:29.059><c> do.</c>

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:31.460
Sometimes<00:32:31.059><c> the</c><00:32:31.259><c> angel</c>

00:32:31.460 --> 00:32:34.339
will<00:32:31.700><c> close</c><00:32:31.960><c> doors</c><00:32:32.259><c> and</c><00:32:32.440><c> sometimes</c><00:32:32.779><c> he'll</c><00:32:32.980><c> open</c><00:32:33.259><c> them.</c>

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:35.599
Sometimes

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.640
he'll<00:32:36.119><c> organize</c><00:32:36.559><c> things.</c>

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:39.640
And<00:32:38.640><c> the</c><00:32:38.759><c> Apostle</c><00:32:39.119><c> Paul</c>

00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.619
recognized<00:32:40.619><c> that.</c><00:32:40.880><c> He</c><00:32:41.099><c> said</c>

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:43.640
when<00:32:42.880><c> I</c><00:32:43.160><c> was</c>

00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:44.900
in<00:32:43.920><c> despair</c>

00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:47.019
when<00:32:45.440><c> I</c><00:32:45.740><c> was</c><00:32:46.380><c> miserable</c>

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:49.059
when<00:32:47.680><c> I</c><00:32:47.920><c> was</c><00:32:48.160><c> cast</c><00:32:48.539><c> down</c>

00:32:49.059 --> 00:32:51.680
he<00:32:49.680><c> said</c><00:32:49.839><c> the</c><00:32:50.099><c> Lord</c><00:32:50.460><c> of</c><00:32:50.819><c> comfort</c>

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.240
sent<00:32:53.519><c> Titus.</c>

00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:55.380
So<00:32:54.940><c> God</c><00:32:55.140><c> was</c>

00:32:55.380 --> 00:32:57.980
aware<00:32:55.619><c> of</c><00:32:55.799><c> Timothy</c><00:32:56.180><c> of</c><00:32:56.640><c> Paul's</c><00:32:57.019><c> despair.</c>

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:59.279
He<00:32:58.140><c> was</c><00:32:58.319><c> aware</c><00:32:58.539><c> of</c><00:32:58.720><c> his</c><00:32:58.859><c> depression.</c>

00:32:59.380 --> 00:33:01.900
He<00:32:59.440><c> was</c><00:32:59.680><c> aware</c><00:32:59.880><c> of</c><00:33:00.059><c> all</c><00:33:00.240><c> the</c><00:33:00.420><c> problems</c><00:33:00.700><c> that</c><00:33:00.819><c> were</c><00:33:01.039><c> bearing</c><00:33:01.200><c> down</c><00:33:01.460><c> on</c><00:33:01.579><c> him.</c>

00:33:02.140 --> 00:33:03.140
And<00:33:02.400><c> he</c><00:33:02.579><c> arranged</c>

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:05.079
for<00:33:03.660><c> Titus.</c><00:33:04.599><c> Now</c>

00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:06.980
nobody<00:33:05.460><c> sent</c><00:33:05.700><c> a</c><00:33:05.859><c> letter</c><00:33:06.039><c> to</c><00:33:06.220><c> Titus</c><00:33:06.579><c> saying</c>

00:33:06.980 --> 00:33:09.880
this<00:33:07.519><c> is</c><00:33:07.720><c> God.</c><00:33:07.900><c> I</c><00:33:08.019><c> want</c><00:33:08.160><c> you</c><00:33:08.319><c> to</c><00:33:08.440><c> go</c><00:33:08.559><c> and</c><00:33:08.740><c> help</c><00:33:09.039><c> Paul.</c>

00:33:10.019 --> 00:33:11.460
But<00:33:10.500><c> the</c><00:33:10.980><c> way</c><00:33:11.200><c> of</c>

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:13.319
life<00:33:11.640><c> was</c><00:33:11.900><c> such</c><00:33:12.059><c> that</c><00:33:12.380><c> Titus</c><00:33:12.759><c> arrived</c>

00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:15.339
in<00:33:13.859><c> the</c><00:33:14.099><c> company</c><00:33:14.319><c> of</c><00:33:14.480><c> Paul</c><00:33:14.799><c> just</c><00:33:15.180><c> when</c>

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:17.000
Paul<00:33:15.619><c> needed</c><00:33:15.960><c> encouragement.</c>

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:19.000
And<00:33:17.440><c> that's</c><00:33:17.579><c> how</c><00:33:17.759><c> the</c><00:33:17.980><c> angels</c><00:33:18.160><c> work.</c>

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:20.819
So<00:33:19.380><c> you</c><00:33:19.519><c> come</c><00:33:19.720><c> in</c><00:33:19.900><c> contact</c><00:33:20.200><c> with</c><00:33:20.420><c> people.</c>

00:33:21.180 --> 00:33:22.799
You<00:33:21.519><c> find</c><00:33:21.819><c> things</c><00:33:22.180><c> happen</c>

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:24.319
around<00:33:23.579><c> you</c><00:33:23.759><c> in</c><00:33:23.940><c> life.</c>

00:33:24.660 --> 00:33:26.240
And<00:33:24.799><c> it</c><00:33:24.839><c> isn't</c><00:33:25.160><c> chance.</c>

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:28.539
Everything<00:33:27.180><c> has</c><00:33:27.400><c> a</c><00:33:27.500><c> purpose.</c>

00:33:28.660 --> 00:33:30.460
That's<00:33:28.839><c> what</c><00:33:28.980><c> Ruth</c><00:33:29.220><c> found</c><00:33:29.539><c> out.</c>

00:33:30.700 --> 00:33:33.299
It<00:33:30.700><c> wasn't</c><00:33:30.980><c> chance</c><00:33:31.559><c> that</c><00:33:32.000><c> she</c><00:33:32.160><c> married</c>

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:35.440
Marlon.

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.539
It<00:33:35.619><c> wasn't</c><00:33:35.980><c> chance</c>

00:33:36.539 --> 00:33:38.700
that<00:33:36.839><c> she</c><00:33:36.960><c> was</c><00:33:37.200><c> introduced</c><00:33:37.640><c> to</c><00:33:37.920><c> Naomi.</c>

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.619
God<00:33:39.319><c> was</c><00:33:39.720><c> seeking</c><00:33:39.980><c> her.</c>

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:42.880
Found<00:33:41.240><c> her.</c><00:33:42.200><c> And</c><00:33:42.420><c> provided</c><00:33:42.619><c> a</c><00:33:42.799><c> way.</c>

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:44.720
Now<00:33:43.039><c> she</c><00:33:43.119><c> could</c><00:33:43.299><c> have</c><00:33:43.440><c> refused.</c><00:33:43.819><c> She</c><00:33:44.000><c> could</c><00:33:44.160><c> have</c><00:33:44.279><c> turned</c><00:33:44.460><c> around</c><00:33:44.640><c> and</c>

00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:45.279
gone<00:33:44.920><c> back.</c>

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:46.700
Just<00:33:45.599><c> like</c><00:33:45.839><c> Orpah.</c><00:33:46.259><c> And</c><00:33:46.339><c> she</c><00:33:46.359><c> could</c><00:33:46.519><c> have</c><00:33:46.579><c> said</c>

00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:48.900

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.099
God<00:33:52.039><c> didn't</c><00:33:52.319><c> make</c><00:33:52.640><c> her</c><00:33:52.819><c> go</c><00:33:53.059><c> back.</c>

00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:55.059
But<00:33:54.279><c> once</c><00:33:54.420><c> she</c><00:33:54.680><c> decided</c>

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:57.079

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:07.000
God<00:34:05.200><c> does</c><00:34:05.420><c> to</c><00:34:05.599><c> all</c><00:34:05.720><c> of</c><00:34:05.839><c> us.</c><00:34:06.599><c> He</c><00:34:06.740><c> sets</c>

And<00:34:52.960><c> if</c><00:34:53.019><c> you</c><00:34:53.159><c> do</c><00:34:53.400><c> that</c>

00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:55.820
then<00:34:55.159><c> it</c><00:34:55.440><c> doesn't</c><00:34:55.659><c> mean</c>

00:34:55.820 --> 00:34:57.559
to<00:34:55.960><c> say</c><00:34:56.139><c> that</c><00:34:56.300><c> you'll</c><00:34:56.519><c> have</c><00:34:56.800><c> an</c><00:34:57.260><c> easy</c>

00:34:57.559 --> 00:34:59.659
life.<00:34:58.039><c> You</c><00:34:58.059><c> won't</c><00:34:58.219><c> have</c><00:34:58.360><c> illness.</c><00:34:59.360><c> You</c><00:34:59.460><c> won't</c>

00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:01.519
have<00:34:59.860><c> tragedy.</c><00:35:00.980><c> All</c><00:35:01.199><c> these</c><00:35:01.400><c> things</c>

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.300
come<00:35:01.780><c> as</c><00:35:01.900><c> a</c><00:35:02.019><c> test</c><00:35:02.219><c> of</c><00:35:02.440><c> faith.</c>

00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.360
Can<00:35:04.099><c> you</c><00:35:04.679><c> continue</c>

00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.500
doing<00:35:06.119><c> what</c><00:35:06.320><c> God</c><00:35:06.579><c> wants?</c>

00:35:07.900 --> 00:35:09.460
Think<00:35:08.139><c> of</c><00:35:08.280><c> the</c><00:35:08.519><c> tragedies</c><00:35:08.920><c> that</c><00:35:09.099><c> Jesus</c>

00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:11.539
experienced<00:35:10.099><c> in</c><00:35:10.280><c> his</c><00:35:10.500><c> life.</c>

00:35:11.699 --> 00:35:13.880
In<00:35:11.920><c> his</c><00:35:12.099><c> ministry</c><00:35:12.440><c> of</c><00:35:12.659><c> three</c><00:35:12.800><c> years.</c>

00:35:14.219 --> 00:35:15.679
The<00:35:14.340><c> people</c><00:35:14.519><c> who</c><00:35:14.820><c> turned</c><00:35:15.059><c> back</c><00:35:15.380><c> from</c>

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:17.360
destroying<00:35:15.920><c> him.</c>

00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:19.179
The<00:35:17.579><c> man</c><00:35:17.820><c> who</c><00:35:17.980><c> came</c><00:35:18.119><c> and</c><00:35:18.280><c> kissed</c><00:35:18.500><c> him</c><00:35:18.659><c> on</c><00:35:18.840><c> the</c><00:35:18.980><c> cheek</c>

00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:20.880
and<00:35:19.380><c> betrayed</c><00:35:19.719><c> him.</c>

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:23.860
All<00:35:21.920><c> these</c><00:35:22.260><c> things</c><00:35:22.760><c> were</c><00:35:23.280><c> there</c>

00:35:23.860 --> 00:35:25.659
in<00:35:24.199><c> Jesus'</c><00:35:24.780><c> life</c><00:35:24.860><c> but</c><00:35:25.099><c> he</c>

00:35:25.659 --> 00:35:28.239
set<00:35:25.900><c> his</c><00:35:26.340><c> face</c><00:35:26.699><c> steadfastly</c>

00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.579
to<00:35:28.800><c> do</c><00:35:29.079><c> what</c><00:35:29.280><c> it</c><00:35:29.360><c> was</c>

00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:30.860
that<00:35:29.739><c> God</c><00:35:29.900><c> wanted.</c>

00:35:31.300 --> 00:35:33.179
And<00:35:31.460><c> the</c><00:35:31.599><c> angels</c><00:35:31.820><c> helped</c><00:35:32.159><c> him</c><00:35:32.360><c> didn't</c><00:35:32.460><c> they?</c>

00:35:33.519 --> 00:35:36.360
Wildness<00:35:33.900><c> and</c><00:35:34.079><c> temptation.</c><00:35:34.960><c> God</c><00:35:35.179><c> and</c><00:35:35.280><c> the</c><00:35:35.360><c> Gethsemane.</c>

00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:37.360
We<00:35:36.599><c> know</c><00:35:36.840><c> the</c><00:35:37.019><c> angels.</c>

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:39.320
And<00:35:37.940><c> when</c><00:35:38.119><c> Peter</c><00:35:38.360><c> took</c><00:35:38.599><c> a</c><00:35:38.860><c> sword</c>

00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:41.500
and<00:35:40.159><c> cut</c><00:35:40.260><c> off</c><00:35:40.480><c> the</c><00:35:40.619><c> ear</c><00:35:40.739><c> of</c><00:35:40.940><c> the</c><00:35:41.099><c> servant</c>

00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:43.960
what<00:35:41.940><c> did</c><00:35:42.139><c> Jesus</c><00:35:42.420><c> say</c><00:35:42.699><c> to</c><00:35:42.880><c> him?</c>

00:35:49.340 --> 00:35:50.280
Why?

00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:53.079
What<00:35:52.300><c> could</c><00:35:52.519><c> Jesus</c><00:35:52.840><c> see</c>

00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:54.380
that<00:35:53.280><c> Peter</c><00:35:53.519><c> couldn't?</c>

00:35:58.500 --> 00:36:00.059
Yeah,<00:35:59.159><c> but</c><00:35:59.219><c> he</c><00:35:59.260><c> could</c><00:35:59.460><c> see</c><00:35:59.599><c> something</c><00:35:59.840><c> else</c>

00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:02.219
in<00:36:00.179><c> that</c><00:36:00.400><c> garden</c><00:36:00.619><c> at</c><00:36:00.780><c> Gethsemane,</c><00:36:01.360><c> couldn't</c><00:36:01.440><c> he?</c>

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:04.400
What<00:36:02.980><c> did</c><00:36:03.099><c> he</c><00:36:03.179><c> say</c><00:36:03.340><c> to</c><00:36:03.579><c> Peter?</c>

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:07.079
He<00:36:04.960><c> didn't</c><00:36:05.199><c> need</c><00:36:05.420><c> the</c><00:36:05.639><c> help</c><00:36:05.820><c> from</c><00:36:06.079><c> Peter</c>

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:09.000
with<00:36:07.780><c> his</c><00:36:08.019><c> sword,</c><00:36:08.300><c> did</c><00:36:08.500><c> he?</c>

00:36:09.260 --> 00:36:10.840
Because<00:36:09.500><c> there</c><00:36:09.679><c> was</c><00:36:09.840><c> something</c><00:36:10.039><c> else.</c>

00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:13.000
He<00:36:12.340><c> said</c><00:36:12.539><c> I</c><00:36:12.619><c> could</c><00:36:12.800><c> have</c>

00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:14.440
twelve<00:36:13.579><c> legions</c><00:36:14.059><c> of</c><00:36:14.280><c> angels.</c>

00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:16.480
How<00:36:14.599><c> many</c><00:36:14.800><c> is</c><00:36:14.860><c> twelve</c><00:36:15.139><c> legions</c><00:36:15.460><c> of</c><00:36:15.619><c> angels?</c>

00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:19.239
Seventy<00:36:18.699><c>-two</c><00:36:18.840><c> thousand.</c>

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:20.800
That's<00:36:19.659><c> how</c><00:36:19.800><c> many</c><00:36:19.980><c> Jesus</c><00:36:20.280><c> says.</c>

00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:22.880
Twelve<00:36:21.599><c> legions</c><00:36:22.000><c> of</c><00:36:22.199><c> angels.</c>

00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:25.360
Peter,<00:36:23.760><c> I</c><00:36:23.820><c> don't</c><00:36:24.000><c> need</c><00:36:24.199><c> your</c><00:36:24.420><c> sword.</c>

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:26.960
I<00:36:25.760><c> could</c><00:36:25.920><c> have</c><00:36:26.099><c> seventy</c><00:36:26.440><c>-two</c><00:36:26.599><c> thousand</c>

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:28.320
angels<00:36:27.320><c> here.</c>

00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:30.320
And<00:36:28.820><c> what</c><00:36:28.920><c> could</c><00:36:29.179><c> the</c><00:36:29.820><c> soldiers</c>

00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.480
have<00:36:30.559><c> come</c><00:36:30.780><c> to</c><00:36:30.900><c> capture</c><00:36:31.159><c> me</c><00:36:31.340><c> do</c><00:36:31.539><c> then?</c>

00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:34.539
But<00:36:33.199><c> Jesus</c><00:36:33.500><c> knew</c><00:36:33.679><c> he</c><00:36:33.820><c> had</c><00:36:34.019><c> to</c><00:36:34.059><c> go</c><00:36:34.320><c> down</c>

00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:36.460
that<00:36:34.780><c> road</c><00:36:35.139><c> and</c><00:36:35.800><c> through</c>

00:36:36.460 --> 00:36:39.199
that<00:36:37.280><c> particular</c><00:36:37.840><c> experience.</c>

00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:40.699
And<00:36:39.880><c> that's</c><00:36:39.980><c> what</c><00:36:40.099><c> we</c><00:36:40.280><c> have</c><00:36:40.460><c> to</c><00:36:40.579><c> do.</c>

00:36:40.780 --> 00:36:42.599
So<00:36:41.000><c> sometimes</c><00:36:41.239><c> when</c><00:36:41.460><c> we</c><00:36:41.659><c> ask</c><00:36:41.940><c> to</c><00:36:42.179><c> be</c>

00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.739
delivered<00:36:42.980><c> from</c><00:36:43.239><c> something,</c><00:36:43.559><c> we're</c><00:36:43.739><c> not</c><00:36:43.880><c> delivered</c><00:36:44.179><c> from</c><00:36:44.380><c> it.</c>

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:46.440
We<00:36:44.960><c> have</c><00:36:45.159><c> to</c><00:36:45.340><c> be</c>

00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.400
left<00:36:47.019><c> in</c><00:36:47.179><c> it</c><00:36:47.320><c> and</c><00:36:47.440><c> we</c><00:36:47.440><c> have</c><00:36:47.619><c> to</c><00:36:47.739><c> cope</c><00:36:47.900><c> with</c><00:36:48.059><c> it.</c>

00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.179
But<00:36:48.699><c> what</c><00:36:48.820><c> God</c><00:36:49.000><c> says</c><00:36:49.260><c> is</c><00:36:49.400><c> you're</c><00:36:49.519><c> not</c><00:36:49.739><c> on</c><00:36:49.900><c> your</c><00:36:50.119><c> own.</c>

00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:52.940
And<00:36:52.300><c> so</c>

00:36:52.940 --> 00:36:54.400
Naomi<00:36:53.280><c> wasn't</c><00:36:53.539><c> left</c><00:36:53.780><c> on</c><00:36:53.940><c> her</c><00:36:54.079><c> own.</c>

00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:56.579
She<00:36:54.679><c> had</c><00:36:54.860><c> Ruth</c><00:36:55.059><c> to</c><00:36:55.239><c> look</c><00:36:55.420><c> after</c><00:36:55.699><c> her.</c>

00:36:56.900 --> 00:36:58.460
Ruth<00:36:57.139><c> wasn't</c><00:36:57.380><c> left</c><00:36:57.599><c> on</c><00:36:57.820><c> her</c><00:36:57.960><c> own</c>

00:36:58.460 --> 00:37:00.920
because<00:36:59.260><c> she</c><00:36:59.460><c> found</c><00:36:59.739><c> Boaz.</c>

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:03.139
And<00:37:02.679><c> Boaz</c>

00:37:03.139 --> 00:37:04.179
and<00:37:03.440><c> Ruth</c>

00:37:04.179 --> 00:37:06.219
continued<00:37:05.039><c> the</c><00:37:05.260><c> family</c><00:37:05.619><c> line</c>

00:37:06.219 --> 00:37:08.460
down<00:37:06.880><c> to</c><00:37:07.360><c> David</c>

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:10.860
and<00:37:09.360><c> on</c><00:37:09.519><c> to</c><00:37:09.659><c> Christ</c><00:37:09.940><c> himself.</c>

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:12.380
So<00:37:11.420><c> that's</c><00:37:11.639><c> what</c><00:37:11.780><c> we</c><00:37:12.000><c> see</c>

00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:15.000
in<00:37:13.199><c> this</c><00:37:13.519><c> story</c><00:37:13.800><c> of</c><00:37:13.960><c> Ruth.</c>

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.539
People<00:37:15.679><c> who</c><00:37:15.860><c> put</c><00:37:15.980><c> their</c><00:37:16.239><c> trust</c><00:37:16.400><c> in</c><00:37:16.619><c> God</c>

00:37:17.659 --> 00:37:18.579
because<00:37:18.059><c> they</c><00:37:18.280><c> realize</c>

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:20.659
God's<00:37:18.920><c> got</c><00:37:19.059><c> a</c><00:37:19.139><c> purpose</c><00:37:19.559><c> in</c><00:37:19.800><c> life</c>

00:37:20.659 --> 00:37:22.440

00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:26.599
And<00:37:24.280><c> they</c><00:37:24.400><c> keep</c><00:37:24.599><c> looking</c><00:37:24.900><c> around</c><00:37:25.239><c> them</c><00:37:25.380><c> to</c><00:37:25.500><c> see</c><00:37:25.639><c> what's</c><00:37:25.860><c> going</c><00:37:26.119><c> on.</c>

00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:32.920
And<00:37:30.880><c> that's</c><00:37:30.960><c> what</c><00:37:31.079><c> we</c><00:37:31.239><c> have</c><00:37:31.400><c> to</c><00:37:31.519><c> do.</c><00:37:31.599><c> It's</c><00:37:31.760><c> a</c><00:37:31.860><c> lesson</c><00:37:32.039><c> for</c><00:37:32.219><c> us</c>

00:37:36.860 --> 00:37:38.619
We<00:37:37.019><c> don't</c><00:37:37.199><c> neglect</c><00:37:37.559><c> our</c><00:37:37.760><c> reading</c><00:37:37.980><c> of</c><00:37:38.139><c> the</c><00:37:38.300><c> Bible.</c>

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.840
We<00:37:39.519><c> don't</c><00:37:39.880><c> neglect</c><00:37:40.400><c> our</c><00:37:40.719><c> constant</c><00:37:41.260><c> asking</c>

What<00:37:43.679><c> does</c><00:37:43.820><c> God</c><00:37:44.000><c> want</c><00:37:44.260><c> me</c><00:37:44.480><c> to</c><00:37:44.599><c> do?</c>

00:37:44.820 --> 00:37:47.260
What's<00:37:45.039><c> God</c><00:37:45.260><c> making</c><00:37:45.539><c> available</c><00:37:46.099><c> for</c><00:37:46.340><c> me?</c>

Life's<00:37:50.340><c> busy,</c><00:37:50.719><c> isn't</c><00:37:50.780><c> it?</c>

00:37:51.420 --> 00:37:52.699
We<00:37:51.599><c> all</c><00:37:51.699><c> get</c><00:37:51.920><c> caught</c><00:37:52.159><c> up</c>

00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:54.679

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:56.559
Our<00:37:54.960><c> jobs,</c><00:37:55.500><c> our</c><00:37:55.659><c> studies,</c>

00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:02.659
and<00:38:00.460><c> we</c><00:38:00.840><c> sometimes</c><00:38:01.219><c> forget</c><00:38:01.519><c> about</c><00:38:01.800><c> God.</c>

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:05.659
But<00:38:03.780><c> one</c><00:38:03.920><c> thing</c><00:38:04.099><c> you</c><00:38:04.119><c> can</c><00:38:04.300><c> be</c><00:38:04.480><c> sure</c><00:38:04.679><c> of</c>

00:38:05.659 --> 00:38:06.840
once<00:38:06.119><c> you've</c><00:38:06.360><c> made</c>

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:23.099
Okay,<00:38:21.380><c> we'll</c><00:38:21.480><c> finish</c><00:38:21.699><c> there.</c>
