population<00:24:43.430><c> perishes</c><00:24:44.130><c> forever</c>

00:24:44.690 --> 00:24:46.589
But<00:24:45.430><c> through</c><00:24:45.690><c> much</c><00:24:45.930><c> tribulation</c>

00:24:46.589 --> 00:24:49.789
we<00:24:46.869><c> enter</c><00:24:47.410><c> the</c><00:24:47.789><c> kingdom</c><00:24:48.250><c> of</c><00:24:48.809><c> God</c>

00:24:51.809 --> 00:24:52.769
Now<00:24:52.410><c> that</c>

00:24:52.769 --> 00:24:54.569
leads<00:24:53.069><c> us</c><00:24:53.369><c> to</c><00:24:53.849><c> another</c><00:24:54.190><c> idea</c>

00:24:54.569 --> 00:24:56.569
There's<00:24:55.210><c> a</c><00:24:55.430><c> peace</c><00:24:55.690><c> in</c><00:24:56.069><c> surrendering</c>

ourselves<00:24:57.230><c> to</c><00:24:57.609><c> God's</c><00:24:58.009><c> will</c>

00:24:59.529 --> 00:25:01.069
We<00:25:00.130><c> struggle</c><00:25:00.430><c> with</c><00:25:00.690><c> ourselves</c>

00:25:01.069 --> 00:25:02.470
don't<00:25:01.289><c> we,</c><00:25:01.690><c> from</c><00:25:01.910><c> time</c><00:25:02.109><c> to</c><00:25:02.269><c> time</c>

00:25:02.470 --> 00:25:03.789

00:25:03.789 --> 00:25:06.750
We<00:25:04.190><c> perhaps</c><00:25:04.450><c> worry</c><00:25:04.769><c> about</c><00:25:05.009><c> our</c><00:25:05.250><c> own</c><00:25:05.630><c> lack</c><00:25:06.009><c> of</c><00:25:06.289><c> discipline</c>

00:25:06.750 --> 00:25:08.869
We<00:25:07.609><c> may</c><00:25:07.970><c> worry</c><00:25:08.250><c> about</c><00:25:08.470><c> the</c><00:25:08.589><c> direction</c>

00:25:08.869 --> 00:25:10.569
our<00:25:09.089><c> life</c><00:25:09.289><c> is</c><00:25:09.529><c> taking</c>

00:25:10.410 --> 00:25:12.029
We<00:25:10.710><c> might</c><00:25:10.970><c> worry</c><00:25:11.210><c> about</c><00:25:11.390><c> the</c><00:25:11.609><c> future</c>

00:25:12.029 --> 00:25:14.430
We<00:25:12.349><c> might</c><00:25:12.549><c> worry</c><00:25:12.809><c> about</c><00:25:13.069><c> our</c><00:25:13.470><c> children's</c><00:25:14.049><c> future</c>

00:25:14.430 --> 00:25:16.470
It's<00:25:15.190><c> sort</c><00:25:15.390><c> of</c><00:25:15.390><c> trying</c><00:25:15.650><c> to</c><00:25:15.769><c> hedge</c><00:25:15.890><c> our</c><00:25:16.210><c> bets</c>

00:25:20.410 --> 00:25:21.390
evil

00:25:21.829 --> 00:25:24.150
And<00:25:22.470><c> yet</c><00:25:22.670><c> God</c><00:25:23.230><c> just</c><00:25:23.670><c> wants</c><00:25:23.890><c> us</c>

00:25:24.150 --> 00:25:26.250
to<00:25:24.269><c> let</c><00:25:24.410><c> him</c><00:25:24.710><c> do</c><00:25:24.910><c> it</c><00:25:25.089><c> all.</c><00:25:25.309><c> God</c><00:25:25.549><c> wants</c><00:25:25.890><c> us</c>

00:25:26.250 --> 00:25:28.130
to<00:25:26.549><c> surrender</c><00:25:26.950><c> to</c><00:25:27.450><c> his</c><00:25:27.710><c> guidance</c>

00:25:28.130 --> 00:25:30.049
He<00:25:28.329><c> wants</c><00:25:28.650><c> us</c><00:25:29.210><c> to</c><00:25:29.609><c> rely</c><00:25:29.829><c> on</c>

00:25:31.769 --> 00:25:33.089
only

00:25:33.829 --> 00:25:36.250
Now<00:25:34.150><c> the</c><00:25:34.250><c> Bible</c><00:25:34.470><c> teaches</c><00:25:34.849><c> this</c><00:25:35.109><c> lesson</c><00:25:35.450><c> over</c><00:25:35.849><c> and</c><00:25:36.009><c> over</c>

but<00:25:36.609><c> I</c><00:25:36.869><c> think</c><00:25:37.029><c> the</c><00:25:37.230><c> classic</c><00:25:37.569><c> example</c>

00:25:38.190 --> 00:25:39.950
is<00:25:38.569><c> that</c><00:25:39.170><c> of</c><00:25:39.450><c> Jacob</c>

00:25:39.950 --> 00:25:42.250

00:25:42.250 --> 00:25:43.890
about<00:25:42.529><c> worrying</c><00:25:42.829><c> about</c><00:25:43.089><c> all</c><00:25:43.289><c> that's</c><00:25:43.569><c> going</c><00:25:43.710><c> on</c>

00:25:43.890 --> 00:25:45.730
in<00:25:44.029><c> his</c><00:25:44.210><c> life</c><00:25:44.650><c> and</c><00:25:45.269><c> not</c><00:25:45.490><c> letting</c>

00:28:30.150 --> 00:28:32.029
with<00:28:30.390><c> Christ,</c><00:28:31.369><c> it's</c><00:28:31.549><c> a</c><00:28:31.670><c> burden</c><00:28:31.809><c> with</c>

00:28:32.029 --> 00:28:33.710
a<00:28:32.109><c> purpose</c><00:28:32.670><c> and</c><00:28:33.130><c> a</c><00:28:33.349><c> direction</c>

00:28:33.710 --> 00:28:35.950
and<00:28:34.170><c> of</c><00:28:34.329><c> course</c><00:28:34.470><c> that</c><00:28:34.670><c> makes</c><00:28:34.910><c> it</c><00:28:35.190><c> so</c><00:28:35.390><c> much</c><00:28:35.670><c> lighter</c>

00:28:39.630 --> 00:28:42.710
Now<00:28:40.150><c> sometimes</c><00:28:40.589><c> we</c><00:28:40.769><c> look</c><00:28:40.990><c> at</c><00:28:41.150><c> the</c><00:28:41.390><c> truth</c>

00:28:42.789 --> 00:28:44.529

00:28:44.529 --> 00:28:46.069
perhaps<00:28:45.130><c> as</c><00:28:45.470><c> an</c><00:28:45.730><c> extra</c>

00:28:47.509 --> 00:28:49.869
So<00:28:48.369><c> we</c><00:28:48.450><c> might</c><00:28:48.809><c> look</c><00:28:49.190><c> around</c><00:28:49.589><c> at</c>

00:28:49.869 --> 00:28:52.589
the<00:28:50.190><c> people</c><00:28:50.490><c> all</c><00:28:50.750><c> around</c><00:28:50.930><c> us</c><00:28:51.109><c> like</c><00:28:51.349><c> the</c><00:28:51.569><c> psalmist</c><00:28:51.829><c> does</c>

00:28:52.670 --> 00:28:54.029
and<00:28:53.190><c> we</c><00:28:53.309><c> look</c><00:28:53.430><c> at</c><00:28:53.549><c> the</c><00:28:53.670><c> wicked</c>

00:28:54.029 --> 00:28:55.930
and<00:28:54.609><c> we</c><00:28:54.750><c> think</c><00:28:55.069><c> their</c><00:28:55.529><c> life</c><00:28:55.710><c> looks</c>

00:28:55.930 --> 00:28:57.970
so<00:28:56.049><c> much</c><00:28:56.329><c> simpler</c><00:28:56.690><c> than</c><00:28:56.849><c> our</c><00:28:57.049><c> lives</c>

00:28:58.150 --> 00:28:59.910
Sure<00:28:58.630><c> they</c><00:28:58.769><c> might</c><00:28:58.990><c> have</c><00:28:59.210><c> to</c><00:28:59.470><c> worry</c><00:28:59.690><c> about</c>

00:29:10.829 --> 00:29:12.309
We<00:29:11.309><c> envy</c><00:29:11.569><c> them</c><00:29:11.789><c> sometimes</c>

00:29:12.309 --> 00:29:14.029

00:31:58.369 --> 00:32:00.170

God<00:32:10.910><c> offers</c><00:32:11.289><c> us</c><00:32:11.609><c> the</c><00:32:11.730><c> opportunity</c>
