1
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:09,300
Can we show our appreciation to 
the praise team for blessing us 

2
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:12,100
week after week especially 
tonight for the worship and just

3
00:00:12,100 --> 00:00:22,200
applaud and and I applaud you 
for singing Because as we know 

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,000
that was we come to sing. 
It's not a performance that 

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,100
we're witnessing. 
Its It's an effort that we all 

6
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:31,600
contribute to, you know, singing
is a command in scripture, it's 

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,900
not a suggestion and so when we 
come to sing and when we do sing

8
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,600
with fervent Hearts were 
actually obeying, the Lord 

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,800
Jesus. 
And so I'm glad that tonight. 

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,300
I felt like I was in a room with
five six hundred people. 

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,500
I don't know if you felt the 
same way, but I was just 

12
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,900
overwhelmed by your voices and I
was ministered to well. 

13
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:51,800
Now we worship in the word so 
meet me in the book of second. 

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Samuel and we are still in 
Chapter 7. 

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,700
But we are at the halfway, mark.
Tonight, we're continuing to 

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,600
examine one of the most 
important chapters in all of the

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,700
Old Testament and perhaps the 
most crucial, and vital, and 

18
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:13,300
most pivotal chapter in both 
first. 

19
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:17,500
And second Samuel, you heard of 
it last week. 

20
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,200
If you were here last week that 
what we're dealing with in this 

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,400
tax is essentially a covenant 
that God makes with a man by the

22
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,900
name of David and that Covenant 
is still in effect today that 

23
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:30,700
Covenant is still yet to know 
it's complete fulfillment. 

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,200
And in that Covenant touches so 
many aspects of the New Covenant

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,200
that you and I are enjoying 
because of the Lord Jesus 

26
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Christ. 
If you really think about it, 

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,300
when you read the prophets, what
you'll see is that they often 

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,100
refer back to this chapter, this
Covenant that God makes with 

29
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:52,400
this King as a source of Hope, 
and as a reminder to who they 

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,100
are called to be, and what God 
is planning to do through them, 

31
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:00,200
and it was an encouragement for 
Holiness, and when you open the 

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,800
first, Book of the New 
Testament. 

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,500
In Matthew chapter 1 there, we 
see the genealogy of Jesus, 

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,900
pointing his back to David, yes,
and back to Abraham, but proving

35
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:12,800
that he is from this Royal line 
that has great significance, not

36
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,900
just for Israel, but for all of 
history, and, and even when you 

37
00:02:16,908 --> 00:02:21,300
go to the last book of the 
cannon, even when you come to, 

38
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:25,900
the concluding verses of holy 
writ, you and I, we saw this 

39
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:30,000
last week in conclusion and 
Revelation 22:16, the Lord 

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,300
Jesus. 
Where is that? 

41
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:36,900
He is the root and what the 
descendant of David. 

42
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,900
I mean, this is this is how he 
chooses to identify himself in 

43
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:46,000
the final moments of Us closing,
the entire library of sacred 

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,800
scripture and I believe in part 
why Jesus did that was so that 

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,200
as we come to the end of the 
book, which tells us of the 

46
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,400
future, the Lord makes that 
statement to tell all 

47
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,900
generations, All Nations, All 
Peoples, I kept my promise to 

48
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:06,400
David. 
I kept my promise to David all 

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,400
the way until the end. 
And so this Covenant which is 

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,600
really unconditional is more 
about God proving his 

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,100
faithfulness than anything else.
It's not so much about Israel 

52
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:21,900
though. 
God selected and elected Israel 

53
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:26,400
to be the display case of his 
faithfulness but it is 

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,900
ultimately about God's character
proving himself. 

55
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:34,600
To all of us that he is a 
promise keeper last week, you 

56
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,000
and I saw God's response to 
David's passionate desire to 

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,600
build him a house. 
And this week we're going to 

58
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,800
see, David's reaction to God's 
answer to his initial request. 

59
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,800
And we're going to read these 
verses in a moment and as I do 

60
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,900
as we've been doing week after 
week, you're going to lean in 

61
00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:02,000
and pay attention as you follow 
in your Bibles and what we do as

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,400
a drill so that we can practice 
the the skill in our own lives 

63
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000
to look at the scriptures and 
ask questions, you're going to 

64
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,100
see certain things that stand 
out and then you're going to 

65
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:13,300
make some observations and I 
edifies me. 

66
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,300
It had advised me to see what 
you're able to see. 

67
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:18,600
Because I saw those things, many
of those things during the week,

68
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,200
and then for you to see it in 
one reading one, Is just like, 

69
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,400
wow. 
Wonderful. 

70
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:28,500
So pay attention, as we now come
to verse 18 and follow until the

71
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:31,300
it's a lot of versus. 
So we have to really pay 

72
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:32,400
attention. 
Don't let your mind get 

73
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,600
distracted. 
But, here's what the text reads.

74
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,600
Then, King David went in and sat
before the Lord and said, who am

75
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,500
I O? 
Lord God. 

76
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:47,300
And what is my house? 
That you have brought me this 

77
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,400
far? 
And yet this was a small thing 

78
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,100
in your eyes. 
O Lord God, you have spoken also

79
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:58,000
of your Servants house for a 
great while to come. 

80
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:00,900
And this is instruction for 
mankind. 

81
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,700
O, Lord God your version might 
say did something different in 

82
00:05:03,707 --> 00:05:08,600
the Raise their verse 20 and 
what more can David say to you 

83
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,300
for you know your servant O Lord
God because of your promise and 

84
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:16,200
according to your own heart you 
have brought about all this 

85
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,700
greatness to make your servant 
know it. 

86
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Therefore you are great O Lord. 
God for there is none like you 

87
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,900
and there is no God besides you.
According to all that we have 

88
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:31,400
heard with our ears and who is 
like your People Israel. 

89
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,500
The One Nation on Earth who Oh 
God. 

90
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:38,600
Went to redeem to be his people 
making himself a name and doing 

91
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,900
for them. 
Great and awesome things. 

92
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:43,900
By driving out before your 
people, whom you redeemed for 

93
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:46,700
yourself from Egypt, a nation 
and its gods. 

94
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,500
And you establish for yourself, 
your People Israel, to be your 

95
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:54,400
people forever, and You O Lord, 
became their God. 

96
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,800
And now O Lord God confirmed 
forever. 

97
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,100
The word that you've spoken 
concerning your servant and 

98
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:05,400
concerning his house and do as 
you have spoken And your name 

99
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,100
will be magnified forever saying
the Lord of hosts has got over 

100
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,500
Israel and the house of your 
servant, David will be 

101
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:13,600
established Before You For You. 
O. 

102
00:06:13,608 --> 00:06:17,200
Lord of hosts, the god of Israel
have made this Revelation to 

103
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,500
your servants saying I will 
build you a house. 

104
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:23,200
Therefore, your servant has 
found courage to pray this 

105
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,000
prayer to you and now O Lord God
you are God and your words are 

106
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,100
true and you have promised this 
good thing to your servant. 

107
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:33,600
Now therefore may it please you 
to bless the house of your 

108
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,400
servant so It may continue 
forever Before You For You O. 

109
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,000
Lord, God have spoken and with 
your blessing shall the house of

110
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,200
your servant be blessed forever.
What a prayer, what a prayer. 

111
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:50,700
Keep in mind that this is 
David's response to the Lord. 

112
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,600
Telling him you're not going to 
build me a house. 

113
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:57,000
I'm going to build you a house. 
And what he means by that is not

114
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
a physical house but a dynasty a
royal line that would usher in 

115
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,800
the Messiah. 
This is David's reaction. 

116
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,900
So as we read that, as you heard
that, as you followed along, 

117
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:09,500
anything stand out to you in 
this and this prayer. 

118
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,900
Yes. 
Very good observation. 

119
00:07:18,700 --> 00:07:22,400
Your servant, your servant, your
servant, your servant? 

120
00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:28,200
He refers to himself as your 
servant, very important, 

121
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,600
anything else? 
Yes. 

122
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,100
Ryan He sat before the Lord. 
Did you see that? 

123
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,400
In verse 18, he went in and sat 
before the Lord. 

124
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,500
We will touch on that, very 
good. 

125
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:57,100
Yes. 
Hmm. 

126
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:08,500
Sure. 
It is a very humble response, 

127
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,300
right? 
From right. 

128
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:12,900
From the gate. 
Who Am I, who am I? 

129
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:25,700
Yes, beautiful heaven. 
Not so much. 

130
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:41,000
Did you see that Evan pointing 
out that the motivation? 

131
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,300
The the stirring factor of God 
establishing this davidic. 

132
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,700
Covenant is a his name would be 
magnified. 

133
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,300
Oh lord. 
Your name is going to be so 

134
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,700
magnified through this. 
I can't wait to see how it's 

135
00:08:52,700 --> 00:08:54,400
going to be done. 
What a man? 

136
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:56,500
What a man? 
Yes. 

137
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,000
Great Point. 
Anything else? 

138
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:04,300
Very good observations. 
Yes, we're geese. 

139
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:18,700
Yes. 
Yes. 

140
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,100
So God's election of Israel is 
on display here. 

141
00:09:24,100 --> 00:09:26,700
It's very clear, he chose them 
and do you remember in our study

142
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:28,500
of Deuteronomy why he chose 
Israel? 

143
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,000
What's that? 
They were the leash or but 

144
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,800
there's another reason right? 
You had your hand up. 

145
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,500
Yeah, they were the least. 
That is one thing. 

146
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,500
But remember when the Lord says 
I loved you and does he explain 

147
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:46,700
why he loved them? 
Yeah, he made a covenant with 

148
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:49,300
Abram, but why do you even 
choose Abraham if you go to 

149
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:51,800
Deuteronomy chapter 7 and read 
the first several verses you'll 

150
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,000
see that? 
The Lord says you not to turn, 

151
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,100
there he goes. 
I loved you. 

152
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:55,700
And then you're ready for the 
explanation. 

153
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:58,500
He goes because I loved you. 
Lord. 

154
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:00,500
Can you expound a little bit 
more on? 

155
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,900
Why it is that you love Israel 
and he doesn't really give a 

156
00:10:02,908 --> 00:10:06,100
reason for that. 
We can pick out some 

157
00:10:06,100 --> 00:10:09,100
characteristics of why God would
choose Israel in order to 

158
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,800
magnify himself. 
But when God explains he goes, I

159
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,700
loved you because I loved you. 
Interesting. 

160
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:30,200
Maybe a couple more, yes. 
Hmm. 

161
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,500
Yes. 
Absolutely. 

162
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,900
Last week we touched on how 
suffering is not. 

163
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:39,800
The only thing that reveals who 
we are. 

164
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,600
Success has that same effect and
David here is only being 

165
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,900
promoted more and the more he 
seems to be promoted the lower 

166
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:53,100
he seems to go That doesn't tend
to have the same effect on a 

167
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:55,000
majority of people. 
But for this man he does. 

168
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,200
And there's an important reason 
why which will touch on at the 

169
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,900
end of this study. 
One more, maybe Yes. 

170
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Yes, Therefore your servant has 
found courage to pray this 

171
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,400
prayer to you. 
In other words, there is a 

172
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:19,000
motivation that something from 
his heart sprung up for him to 

173
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,800
be able to come before the Lord 
in this way. 

174
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,500
And we're going to see what was 
that touched? 

175
00:11:23,500 --> 00:11:26,100
His heart, and gave him the 
courage to come before the Lord,

176
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:28,900
in this way. 
Are you ready Verse 18? 

177
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:31,500
And by the way, before we start,
we're not going to deal with 

178
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:33,900
this text the way we usually do.
We're not going to go line by 

179
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:35,000
line. 
We're not going to go verse by 

180
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,400
verse instead. 
We're gonna we're gonna hover 

181
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,000
over the text and have a 
bird's-eye view over all of it. 

182
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,700
And as we go through this text 
will really Going to pluck at 

183
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:49,300
different verses and we're going
to try to survey the scene to 

184
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:53,600
try to identify dominant themes.
So we're not going to go over 

185
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,600
every single verse here. 
We're just going to just fly 

186
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,200
over. 
And we're going to just touch 

187
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,000
this verse touch, that verse, 
kind of like what we just did. 

188
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,600
Now looking at observations and 
trying to connect all of them as

189
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,800
we go through. 
But let's start with Verse 18, 

190
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,100
then, King David went in. 
Where did he go? 

191
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,900
We can only speculate some would
believe in some would say, he 

192
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:13,800
came as close as possible to the
Ark of the Covenant. 

193
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:18,100
Eminent he went in. 
Now, here's what's what's 

194
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:20,000
touching to me in our sister 
brought up in the beginning. 

195
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:23,900
King David, that's how the 
narrator identifies David. 

196
00:12:23,900 --> 00:12:26,200
But how does David choose to 
refer to himself throughout his 

197
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,000
prayer? 
Are you certain? 

198
00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,900
In this short prayer, a total of
ten times. 

199
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,300
He says, your servant your 
servant, yours, the Lord's. 

200
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:38,700
Servant, the Lord's servant, 
seen eyes of men. 

201
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,100
David was a king because David 
lived in the light of God's 

202
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,400
presence. 
He saw himself as nothing, more 

203
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,400
than a servant. 
Regardless of the occupation 

204
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,000
regardless of any role that he 
had in this world. 

205
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:56,200
He ultimately saw himself as a 
servant who's been called to 

206
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,000
serve in a particular way. and 
what ministers to me about this 

207
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,900
is because David as a king Psalm
self no greater than anybody 

208
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:09,000
else by identifying himself this
way. 

209
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,600
Does anybody know anything about
David's mother? 

210
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,500
According to the word of God. 
We know something about the 

211
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:19,200
father more than the mother, 
right? 

212
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,900
I mean, you have kind of there's
questionable things about the 

213
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:25,200
relationship between David and 
his father, Jesse, he didn't 

214
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,700
even include him when Samuel 
asked for all the sons to come 

215
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,600
before him. 
So, that's there's a question 

216
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,600
mark there, but David's mother, 
does anybody have any clue from 

217
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,000
the scripture of what we know 
about David's mother? 

218
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,700
There is a first verse that 
reveals something about her. 

219
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,700
Psalm 86 verse 16 tells us 
something about David's mom. 

220
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,200
And in Psalm 86 16, we read 
David in another prayer looking 

221
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,300
to the Lord saying turn to me 
and be gracious to me. 

222
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,800
Give strength to your servant, 
the son of your maid servant. 

223
00:14:06,700 --> 00:14:12,100
The son of your maidservant from
that we can make this strong 

224
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:17,300
conclusion that David's mom. 
Was a genuine servant of God. 

225
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,400
How did she serve God? 
And what capacity? 

226
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,100
We can only assume perhaps it 
was solely in the confines of 

227
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:29,100
her home? 
And if she had any influence on 

228
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:32,500
David, that's enough for us to 
realize, what kind of his 

229
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,400
servants. 
She was, but, David is not just 

230
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,700
speaking here by the spirit. 
He speaking by way of testimony,

231
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,200
his own eyes have have seen his 
mother over the years. 

232
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:45,100
She's a servant of God, she 
loves the Lord, she fears the 

233
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:48,500
Lord in such a way that she can 
penned this in a prayer and say,

234
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:50,400
oh God. 
Would you remember where I came 

235
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,000
from? 
Would you remember your servant,

236
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,800
my mom? 
Your maidservant. 

237
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,300
And I thought about that when I 
read, how he refers to himself 

238
00:14:57,300 --> 00:15:02,000
as a servant, because his mom 
has an unknown vessel hidden 

239
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,100
loving the Lord behind the 
scenes. 

240
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,000
We don't even know her name. 
We don't know what she did in 

241
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,900
detail. 
And she's a servant of God 

242
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,100
nonetheless and yet in contrast 
David, our son, our renowned 

243
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:16,700
King. 
A popular psalmist. 

244
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,300
A warrior. 
And yet, when he says your 

245
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,900
servant in essence, he's saying 
I'm no better. 

246
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:30,600
Then my mom who nobody knew 
about, who nobody praised, but 

247
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,200
nobody promoted who nobody 
applauded, I'm a servant. 

248
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:40,200
Just like my mom was a servant. 
And in essence, you and I do we 

249
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,100
exercise different gifts that we
exercise different positions. 

250
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:46,600
We all share the same status 
before God, we are all servants 

251
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,700
and our own respective ways. 
We are all Servants of God. 

252
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,700
We all stand on the same level 
before the cross. 

253
00:15:54,900 --> 00:15:57,600
In fact, jesus takes it to 
another level when he when he 

254
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,500
seeks to teach us how we should 
view ourselves. 

255
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:06,500
He goes even further than how 
David says it. in Luke 17, 10, 

256
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:12,300
if you want a verse 2, you can 
choose whatever you want, but 

257
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:16,200
this is one of those verses that
I tried to live under as a 

258
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,400
banner And Luke 17:10 Jesus says
to his disciples. 

259
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,000
So you also When you have done 
all that, you were commended. 

260
00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:28,000
Say, what are you supposed to 
say? 

261
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,800
When you are faithful, is it up 
there already? 

262
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:31,800
Okay. 
What are you supposed to say? 

263
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,100
When you, when you fulfill your 
ministry? 

264
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:35,900
What are you supposed to say? 
When people, thank you. 

265
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:38,100
What are you supposed to say? 
Not necessarily? 

266
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:40,900
Say it out loud. 
But I think say to yourself, we 

267
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:45,100
are unworthy servants. 
Not just servants unworthy 

268
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:48,700
servants. 
We've only done what was our 

269
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:51,900
duty. 
So the Lord says don't even see 

270
00:16:51,900 --> 00:16:54,400
yourself as a servant. 
I want you to see yourself as 

271
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,200
unworthy servant, you know what 
that means? 

272
00:16:57,700 --> 00:16:59,500
You're not doing me a favor by 
serving me. 

273
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Now what a terrible thing that 
is to think that we come to the 

274
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,500
house of God or to think that we
serve God outside of his his 

275
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:11,300
church and Lord, I'm doing you a
favor just put it on my point 

276
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:13,300
sheet and I'll come back to 
refer to that when I want to 

277
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:18,900
redeem something, huh? 
You are not even worthy to serve

278
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:22,500
God. 
I'm not even worthy to serve him

279
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,500
to wait on him, to die for him 
to live for him. 

280
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,100
That's a. 
Holy is it's an honor to serve 

281
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,500
God, no matter what it demands 
of me. 

282
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:38,000
So even in the act of service, 
I'm supposed to realize and 

283
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,200
rehearse over myself, I'm not 
even worthy to do this. 

284
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,100
I can't believe I get to do 
this. 

285
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,500
That's how the Lord wants us to 
feel about how we serve him not 

286
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:50,100
to compare. 
And I think compete to try to 

287
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:53,000
elevate ourselves in position 
and title. 

288
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:57,100
No, you're unworthy. 
Regardless of what you do. 

289
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,500
And we come back to this text, 
then, King David went in and our

290
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:04,400
brother, I'd mention it and he 
sat before the Lord. 

291
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,100
I'm not going to sit because it 
might take me a while to get 

292
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:08,700
back up. 
He sat before the law I want you

293
00:18:08,708 --> 00:18:12,600
to visualize that. 
Here's this king who sits on a 

294
00:18:12,608 --> 00:18:15,500
throne, but in the presence of 
God, he sits on the floor. 

295
00:18:16,300 --> 00:18:19,000
He's so humbled by the Majesty 
of God that he can't. 

296
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,600
He would not even dare. 
To sit on anything that would 

297
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,400
try to compete with the Majesty 
of God. 

298
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,200
Now, here's the thing, that's 
interesting sitting is not a 

299
00:18:27,208 --> 00:18:29,000
common posture of Prayer in the 
Bible. 

300
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,100
It's not kneeling is laying, 
prostrate is, but sitting is not

301
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:38,900
so common and we don't want to 
read too much into this but if I

302
00:18:38,908 --> 00:18:42,800
were to, let's say, let's say 
you you came over to my house, 

303
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,800
right? 
And you're standing at the door.

304
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:49,100
And I say, sit down here. 
Why are you standing sit down? 

305
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,900
What am I asking you to do? 
I'm asking you to remain longer.

306
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,900
I am asking you to linger. 
I'm asking you to park so to 

307
00:18:56,900 --> 00:18:59,400
speak. 
And I believe there's something 

308
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,100
here with David sitting in the 
presence of God sitting before 

309
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:05,900
the Lord. 
He was essentially choosing to 

310
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:09,700
remain in God's presence. 
He was essentially saying I'm 

311
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:16,500
here to extend my stay before 
the face of God, right? 

312
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:19,800
So he's not entering in and out 
to pay his dues. 

313
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,000
He's not in thoughtless 
transition, trying to just come 

314
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,800
in and out. 
He is essentially saying Lord 

315
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,200
with this posture. 
I'm coming before you because I 

316
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:38,800
enjoy you. 
I enjoy sitting at the feet of 

317
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:45,000
Jesus. 
It was a deep Delight for David 

318
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,600
to know that he can come with a 
swollen heart. 

319
00:19:48,700 --> 00:19:51,100
Not always like we heard, not 
just because of Brokenness, but 

320
00:19:51,100 --> 00:19:55,200
because of the goodness of God 
and to spill his soul before the

321
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,500
Lord, knowing with full trust 
that this God, this Almighty 

322
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:03,800
being, here's everything that 
he's saying and takes into 

323
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,200
consideration this like this was
like, I can't believe this is 

324
00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:12,500
possible. 
So he sits before the Lord, 

325
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:15,200
essentially saying I'm not going
anywhere to Quick your lord. 

326
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800
I want to give you my undivided 
attention. 

327
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:23,400
And I want to give you focused 
affection, that's what that 

328
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800
posture communicates. 
Can I ask you just a simple 

329
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,100
question and in this busy life, 
in this transient culture that 

330
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,900
we live in when was the last 
time you have genuinely not 

331
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:40,300
necessarily physically, but in 
your heart, Paused and placed 

332
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:44,100
yourself before God in a way. 
Were you saying, Lord, I'm going

333
00:20:44,100 --> 00:20:52,900
to consecrate this select time 
to simply adore you And I know 

334
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,600
it's different for all of us. 
How that looks. 

335
00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:59,600
But is this something? 
We even crave? 

336
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,800
I think that's an important 
question. 

337
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,200
Is this something we long for 
right? 

338
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,100
Lord, I just want to sit before 
you. 

339
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:09,800
I really in private just come 
before you and I just want to as

340
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,100
a response to the goodness that 
you have shown me to declare how

341
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:18,800
good you are. 
That is something that you and I

342
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,000
have a privilege of doing as 
Believers in Jesus Christ and we

343
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
don't have to pack our bags. 
Remember, going to the airport 

344
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
once and I think this group of 
young Muslims and they were 

345
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,100
going to fulfill their their 
pilgrimage, right? 

346
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,400
They have to go all the way to 
Mecca and do a bunch of stuff. 

347
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:34,300
And I thought to myself my God 
allows me to come wherever and 

348
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:40,700
whenever And that's what you and
I have in Jesus Christ, and it 

349
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:43,700
is there that you find rest. 
It is there that you find peace.

350
00:21:43,700 --> 00:21:45,300
It is, there you find 
instruction. 

351
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:48,300
It is there where you find Jew, 
true, genuine fellowship with 

352
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,600
almighty. 
God, believe that, right? 

353
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,600
But sitting here also, 
symbolizes something else. 

354
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,700
So at the end of the service, 
sometimes depending on what 

355
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:59,600
shoes I'm wearing, sometimes I'm
talking to people say, can I sit

356
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,400
down for a little bit? 
Not because I'm lazy, but 

357
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,400
because my feet sometimes do 
weird things, so I got to sit 

358
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,300
down, right? 
So what does that symbolize? 

359
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,700
I heard somebody Whispering it 
rest. 

360
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,600
Rest, right? 
So I'm looking at this, I'm 

361
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,800
trying to think in my mind. 
Also have different different 

362
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,000
characters in the Bible who have
sat before the Lord. 

363
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,400
Can you think of some Who said, 
I saw your mouth Mary of Bethany

364
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,900
who sat before the Lord. 
While her sister, was running 

365
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:31,500
around, right trying to bake and
cook and put things together and

366
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,600
and sub criticizing Mary. 
That's a whole different sermon 

367
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,800
on its own. 
Yes, she sat before the Lord and

368
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Jesus, this is the good portion.
This is what she's choosing to 

369
00:22:39,608 --> 00:22:40,800
do. 
It won't be taken from her, and 

370
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,400
this is a good thing. 
Absolutely. 

371
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,900
There's other places as well, 
who else sits before the Lord? 

372
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:48,500
He's not a main character, but 
it's an important picture. 

373
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:56,400
Yeah, they sat before the Lord, 
Jesus sat, when he taught at 

374
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,100
times, there's a particular 
character in Jesus ministry that

375
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:05,900
I am that I am thinking of that 
was highlighted for sitting 

376
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:09,300
before him after something 
occurred in his life. 

377
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,800
All this would be good then. 
Do you remember in the country 

378
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,300
of the gadarenes? 
The Click yet. 

379
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Here, is this wild man? 
Change can't subdue him. 

380
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:27,800
They try to do everything to 
lock him up, and he keeps 

381
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,500
breaking those chains and he 
keeps running around, 

382
00:23:30,500 --> 00:23:33,500
terrorizing the towns and the 
neighborhood's, Jesus steps on 

383
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:36,300
the scene, delivers him from a 
legion of demons. 

384
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,300
And then the, the city hears 
about it and they're terrified 

385
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:41,400
because their business, some of 
their businesses was just 

386
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:44,400
crashed. 
And so they approached the scene

387
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,700
and they find this man who had 
the reputation of being 

388
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:51,100
Unstoppable. 
His craziness. 

389
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:57,400
Clothed in his right mind and 
Luke tells us in his version 

390
00:23:57,900 --> 00:24:02,100
sitting before the feet of 
Jesus. 

391
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,200
And what's what's so comforting?
What's so powerful about that 

392
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,100
picture? 
Is that beforehand? 

393
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,300
We're told that the demons in 
him would drive him into the 

394
00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:18,300
desert. 
He was Restless, he was wild. 

395
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:22,500
He was uncontrollable, he was 
constantly on the move, but one 

396
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,100
encounter with Jesus Christ. 
Kept them in one place. 

397
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,200
And that rest that you see this 
meant, I don't know why I 

398
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,400
picture him. 
Just like, his legs are folded 

399
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,700
with brand new clothes sitting 
at Jesus feet. 

400
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:39,900
And what that teaches is that 
when the Lord truly encounters, 

401
00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,900
you and saves you and delivers 
you, he satisfies you. 

402
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:48,200
And now unlike what you were 
like before you're not running 

403
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,900
around, trying to find some kind
of solution to the torment of 

404
00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:55,100
your soul. 
Like we just heard there is no 

405
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,800
peace for the wicked. 
Now, you can sit. 

406
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,000
And here's the thing by sitting 
here saying, I don't want to go 

407
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,100
anywhere. 
And so that man. 

408
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:05,200
What he teaches us, I'm not 
looking for anything else 

409
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,100
anymore. 
I found it right here, right 

410
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:09,600
here. 
You know, sometimes I look at 

411
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400
people. 
Throughout the years throughout 

412
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,500
the past 10 years, especially 
young people and they are 

413
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:17,000
restless. 
Many of them restless and they 

414
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,800
feel like they have to travel 
everywhere just to keep their 

415
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,400
minds busy. 
Tried to find some experience 

416
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,300
that will calm their nerves or 
they go from relationship to 

417
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,800
relationship where they go from 
job, that you can just see how 

418
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,400
Restless they are. 
And I often think if you only 

419
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,600
have tasted his goodness, if 
you've only allowed the genuine 

420
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:43,300
power of God to win your heart, 
you can stay in one place and 

421
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:45,500
not saying that, the physical 
movements there is always 

422
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:49,800
alluding to that, but sometimes 
it does, sometimes it does. 

423
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:54,900
And so we see here that that 
David's it's before the Lord, he

424
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:58,500
satisfied and he just wants to 
pour out his heart and this is 

425
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:00,200
what he's about to do. 
We read it, right? 

426
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,000
So now we come to this text and 
I want us to again, we're bird's

427
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,600
eye view. 
We're not going verse by verse. 

428
00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:07,700
Can I draw something to your 
attention? 

429
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:10,700
We mentioned a lot of things 
that we do. 

430
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:14,900
See in David's prayer. 
What's a key thing that's 

431
00:26:14,900 --> 00:26:16,900
missing in his prayer, and it's 
not a negative thing. 

432
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,400
What is missing in David's 
prayer? 

433
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,200
Now, here's how we can hone in 
and we can we can because 

434
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,100
there's a lot of things. 
Missing right, technically 

435
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:31,900
there's a lot of things missing 
but in light of God's response 

436
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:35,500
to his desire to build him a 
house. 

437
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:40,300
What would you expect David to 
do if he was in the flesh? 

438
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:44,400
There, I'll say that much. 
Complain. 

439
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:52,900
Murmur sulk grumble. 
So David doesn't come before the

440
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:53,900
presence of the Lord. 
And you know what? 

441
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:56,200
Lord, I'm just trying to help 
you out. 

442
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,300
I want to do this for your 
namesake. 

443
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,400
You don't want me to do it. 
He's just somebody better than 

444
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,000
me. 
And what I've done for you, none

445
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,700
of that. 
He responded to God's know with 

446
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:12,200
gratitude, not grumbling 
gratitude. 

447
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:16,000
And there was no evidence of 
irritation. 

448
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,100
There is no sign of resentment. 
There is no, there is nothing 

449
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:22,400
else. 
But a, submissive spirit that 

450
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,800
could genuinely accept the Fate 
that God had ordained for his 

451
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,500
days. 
David, you're not going to do 

452
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:30,400
this. 
There's somebody else I have in 

453
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,700
mind and this man could accept 
that. 

454
00:27:33,700 --> 00:27:37,100
He could Embrace that in a 
worshipful Spirit. 

455
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:41,500
That's significant. 
Listen the willingness to 

456
00:27:41,500 --> 00:27:45,000
worship, God pay. 
To do this the willingness to 

457
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,300
worship God and his sovereignty.
In the face of his denials is 

458
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,100
one of the truest marks of a 
mature man or woman of God. 

459
00:27:55,300 --> 00:27:59,800
The ability to worship God in 
the face of his denials is one 

460
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,000
of the truest marks of a true 
man or woman of God. 

461
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,500
Do you know why David could 
accept the no from God? 

462
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:11,200
Because David as we heard was a 
servant of God and he believed 

463
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,900
that about himself. 
I'm your servant. 

464
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:15,800
Do you know why? 
It is that some Christians get 

465
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,200
upset with God? 
Bitter against God? 

466
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,900
Complain to God? 
It's because they believe God is

467
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:26,900
their servant. 
We wouldn't want a mint that But

468
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:30,200
that's why that's why some 
people become so sour in their 

469
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,400
souls is because they have 
adopted this idea as much as 

470
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,000
they go to a conservative 
bible-believing church, if 

471
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,100
they've adopted this concept 
that, if I ask God, he better 

472
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,900
give it to me and if he doesn't 
that he's not worthy of my total

473
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:47,100
devotion. 
Well, my sister, my brother 

474
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,600
since when did God owe you 
anything? 

475
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:53,800
Just be real with that since. 
When does God? 

476
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:59,900
Oh, you and I are a thing. 
Anything that we have, even the 

477
00:28:59,900 --> 00:29:03,500
clothes on your back, right? 
The ability to see through these

478
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:07,600
eyes is a gift in itself. 
God doesn't owe us a thing. 

479
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,800
Not one thing. 
And David understood from the 

480
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,500
position of a servant. 
I can take a No. 

481
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:19,600
In fact, look how look how he 
addresses the Lord in verse 22 

482
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,000
of their chapter. 
Second Samuel 722. 

483
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,100
Therefore you are great O Lord. 
God for there is none like you 

484
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:32,900
and there is no God besides you.
According to all that we have 

485
00:29:32,900 --> 00:29:35,500
heard with our ears. 
Okay. 

486
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:39,500
Now, let's be honest, how many 
of us can say, in light of a 

487
00:29:39,508 --> 00:29:43,800
know, like a closed door, or 
something happening, or us 

488
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,500
feeling that we are being guided
into a direction of life that we

489
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:49,900
did not intend to move. 
Towards can say, you're great. 

490
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:55,900
Lord, You're great, I can 
genuinely say, you are great. 

491
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:02,500
You and I should be able to say 
that every time, not just great,

492
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,300
he's greatly to be praised 
because he is a great God. 

493
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,000
Who is infinitely? 
Kind infinitely wise to us, who 

494
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000
are infinitely, unworthy? 
And I get it. 

495
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:17,700
You and I are wrapped with this 
flesh, that doesn't like 

496
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,800
rejection isn't like the client 
doesn't like refusals, right? 

497
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:29,600
So there's a discipline that we 
need to have to be able to avoid

498
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:34,600
that ugly face before God and 
its really found in David's 

499
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,900
prayer here. 
Do you know how David can do 

500
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:38,300
this? 
Not just because he's so soft as

501
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:39,900
a servant. 
But there's a second thing here.

502
00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:43,900
David in his prayer is focusing 
on what God gave him, not what 

503
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:48,600
God didn't give him. 
Look at Verse 18, then. 

504
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,200
King David went in and sat 
before the Lord and said, who am

505
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,100
I Lord God. 
And what is my house that you 

506
00:30:54,100 --> 00:30:59,000
have brought me this far? 
This man is not bothered At All.

507
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,100
By the fact that he was not 
handed, the sole responsibility 

508
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,500
of constructing a house for God.
He's not. 

509
00:31:05,500 --> 00:31:09,200
He's that stirred at all because
he's captivated by something 

510
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,000
else, he's captivated by the 
realization of God's 

511
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,900
providential. 
Dealings up to this point in his

512
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:18,700
life and the excitement of what 
God has for them in the future. 

513
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,700
This is what consumes him this 
is, what gets him going. 

514
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:24,900
This is what brings them before,
the presence of the Lord. 

515
00:31:24,900 --> 00:31:31,500
With a mouthful of Raise. 
And look, it's obvious here that

516
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:34,200
he was overwhelmed by the past, 
mercies of God, he's overwhelmed

517
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,500
by what he's going to do and as 
much as this chapter is about a 

518
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:39,900
unique Covenant between God. 
And one man that's not to be 

519
00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:45,900
repeated, there's a Code there's
a code here in this context and 

520
00:31:45,900 --> 00:31:49,900
this code in this context, 
reveals a characteristic of God 

521
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,100
that applies to each of us here 
on this Friday night. 

522
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:58,100
And here's here it is ready. 
Our days, our days, each of our 

523
00:31:58,108 --> 00:32:01,400
days. 
Are divinely planned. 

524
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,300
Even when plans, don't go 
according to our plans. 

525
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,500
Confusing. 
Our days are divinely planned, 

526
00:32:09,500 --> 00:32:12,700
even though things don't go 
according to plan, let me put it

527
00:32:12,708 --> 00:32:15,200
this way for the true servant of
God. 

528
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,000
When anything seems to fall 
through it in actuality Falls 

529
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,500
right into place. 
When anything seems to fall 

530
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:26,800
through. 
And in reality, if your hand is 

531
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,900
in the hand, of God Falls, 
exactly where God intended it to

532
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:34,600
be. 
And the Lord could have told 

533
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,200
David after. 
David said, I want to build you 

534
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:38,500
a house. 
He could have told David, you're

535
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:40,600
not going to build me a house 
somebody else and kept it at 

536
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,900
that but he doesn't do that. 
He tells David you wanted to 

537
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:46,900
build me a house. 
I'm actually going to build you 

538
00:32:46,900 --> 00:32:50,300
a dynasty and in this process 
I'm going to have a temple built

539
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:53,100
for my name. 
In other words, David, you have 

540
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:54,600
this one desire. 
I have a greater desire. 

541
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,100
You have this one idea how this 
bigger plan, and he communicates

542
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:00,100
that to David. 
Now, here's the thing. 

543
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,600
The davidic Covenant that we 
benefit from it, it's not Not 

544
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,000
about us. 
You're right you're not gonna 

545
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,600
have Royal lines right? 
That's not happening. 

546
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:10,900
That's already established and 
it's working now but you have 

547
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:14,600
promises as a Christian You 
really have promises cater 

548
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,900
towards you, because you're in 
Christ because Christ is the 

549
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:21,800
firstborn among many brethren. 
We are co-heirs with Christ. 

550
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,800
You and I have certain promises 
for us. 

551
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,700
How many of those promises do 
you truly rehearse and believe 

552
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:34,500
for yourself? 
He you ready for this? 

553
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,400
I want to ask you personally how
much the promises of God filter,

554
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,300
your view of the future of your 
future. 

555
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:44,600
And here's one way to test that.
It might sting you a little bit 

556
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,700
but it's good. 
Its healthy. 

557
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:50,100
All right. 
How many promises do you know 

558
00:33:50,100 --> 00:33:54,700
from God's word that you 
actually hold onto for your 

559
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:57,900
life? 
Anything running through your 

560
00:33:57,900 --> 00:34:02,000
mind. 
I'm not asking I'm not asking if

561
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,600
you believe that God has made 
promises to his children. 

562
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,500
Every Christian would say, yes, 
I'm asking very specific 

563
00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:13,199
question. 
Which promises in God's word? 

564
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:19,300
Do you actually hold onto and 
believe applies to your life? 

565
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:20,699
Fill in the blank? 
Your name. 

566
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:26,400
I'm curious to know actually, 
because I'm about to give you a 

567
00:34:26,408 --> 00:34:30,500
homework. 
Tell me some promises that you 

568
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:36,199
believe in God's word. 
Amen. 

569
00:34:39,100 --> 00:34:41,000
Ephesians 2:8. 
Beautiful. 

570
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,699
Yes. 
I will never leave you nor 

571
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:47,400
forsake you. 
Now, again, my question is not 

572
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,000
which, what promises do you 
know, in the Bible? 

573
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:53,199
Which ones do you hold on to 
that? 

574
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,400
Come to your mind? 
That that that visit you in a 

575
00:34:56,408 --> 00:34:59,800
specific moment or circumstance?
Those promises I'm asking about 

576
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:06,800
Isn't that interesting? 
Isn't that interesting? 

577
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:12,500
This book is pregnant with 
promises pregnant. 

578
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,700
And not in a way of 
condemnation. 

579
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:19,100
But even if for myself when I 
when I looked at this I thought 

580
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:23,300
look how much of God's promise 
to David just stimulated him and

581
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:27,200
I pause I step back I said Lord 
teaching the Bible quoting the 

582
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,700
Bible but what promises really 
can bring me to my knees and 

583
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:34,600
worship. 
I can tell you some promises 

584
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,000
about eternity about salvation 
of all that but which promises 

585
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,800
do I really believe Here's your 
homework. 

586
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,300
All right? 
You're going to go to God's word

587
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:46,900
this week and you're going to 
look for a promise, not just a 

588
00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:51,000
random promise but a promise 
that you know, will will bless 

589
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,100
you and that you can look to and
that you can memorize next week 

590
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,100
I'm going to ask what promises 
you learn for your life and I 

591
00:36:00,107 --> 00:36:01,900
hope to see as many hands as 
possible. 

592
00:36:02,300 --> 00:36:05,100
That's your assignment. 
That's your assignment. 

593
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:09,500
Can I give you one of mine? 
one of the ones that I often 

594
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:14,800
think about, and come to me in 
times of need and in times of 

595
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,300
persecution, this is a promise 
in Hebrews 13:5, and it says 

596
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,700
this, Keep your life free from 
the Love of Money. 

597
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:27,100
And be content with what you 
have for. 

598
00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:31,500
He has said, I will never leave 
you nor forsake you But second 

599
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:36,000
to that, so we can confidently, 
say the Lord is my helper. 

600
00:36:37,500 --> 00:36:41,100
I will not fear. 
What can man do to me? 

601
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,400
That's a promise in the New 
Covenant and what's beautiful is

602
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:47,600
both of those quotations. 
I will never leave you nor 

603
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,600
forsake you and what can man do 
to me? 

604
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,400
The Lord is my helper. 
I will not fear what you meant 

605
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,300
to me. 
Are both the first one, 

606
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:56,700
arguably. 
The second one. 

607
00:36:56,700 --> 00:37:01,200
Definitely from the Psalms, from
the Psalms, And the New 

608
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,600
Testament authors pulls it out 
of the book of Psalms and throws

609
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,700
it at the New Covenant Christian
she's that's for you that's for 

610
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:13,000
you. 
And so, I've known moments. 

611
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,000
We're Lord, you need to step in 
here. 

612
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,100
Well, I told you I'll never 
leave you nor forsake. 

613
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,500
You watch me, pull through. 
And I've known moments where men

614
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:26,500
have reared, their ugly heads. 
And if threatened And I told 

615
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:30,700
myself and others, if the Lord 
is truly with us, man, can't do 

616
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:34,200
anything to us. 
You see we need to know the 

617
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,200
promises of God. 
We can't be illiterate with 

618
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:42,300
this, we can be It's affecting 
God's glory to a degree and it's

619
00:37:42,300 --> 00:37:45,400
affecting something of our joy 
in the Lord. 

620
00:37:45,500 --> 00:37:48,500
Okay. 
So we see here that David David 

621
00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,200
understood something clear, 
which brings me to my next 

622
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,300
Point. 
Look here to verse 27 of second 

623
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:58,600
Samuel 7. 
This is, this is wonderful. 

624
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:01,900
David says for you, oh, lord of 
hosts. 

625
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:07,600
The god of Israel have made this
Revelation to your servant 

626
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,900
saying, I will build you a 
house. 

627
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,600
Therefore, your servant has 
found courage to pray this 

628
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,300
prayer to you. 
So David is telling the Lord and

629
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:23,500
telling us, there is a reason 
that I'm able to come so freely,

630
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:27,300
so boldly before the Lord. 
And what's that reason? 

631
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:38,800
What does he say in verse 27? 
What gave him the courage, what 

632
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,100
invited him to come, so close to
the Lord and to speak in the way

633
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:48,000
that he speaks. 
Revelation. 

634
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:58,700
You have made this revelation. 
so, You and I cannot mature in 

635
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:03,200
our praying until we first 
mature in our understanding of 

636
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,600
the word of God. 
It was revelation. 

637
00:39:07,900 --> 00:39:11,100
That pumped in him. 
The courage to pray in the way 

638
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:16,000
that he prayed. 
Appraised filled prayer, right? 

639
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,500
Heart-stirring prayer, 
passionate prayer, God 

640
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:24,100
glorifying prayer that all 
stemmed from revelation. 

641
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,100
Something that God had made 
known to him his word. 

642
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:31,500
Yes, in his life but also the 
word that we have before us that

643
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,300
is the very thing that caused 
him to be able to praise. 

644
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,200
And to be able to pray, can I 
tell you why many Christians 

645
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,000
don't praise and why many 
Christians struggle to pray? 

646
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,100
They lack Insight concerning 
God's revelation. 

647
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,000
That's one. 
Major reason why? 

648
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:54,700
When you come to this word, you 
have to understand. 

649
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:02,400
That it is the source of many of
the things that you, and I tried

650
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,700
to do in our spiritual journey 
with the Lord before I get 

651
00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:07,600
there. 
Have you noticed that David in 

652
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,500
this prayer? 
Expresses Wonder. 

653
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:15,000
And amazement in the form of 
questions. 

654
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,700
Anybody noticed that. 
So, look at Verse 18, we saw, 

655
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:19,900
right? 
Who am I? 

656
00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:21,800
What is my house that you've 
brought me this far? 

657
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,700
Now, if you have the King James 
of the new King, James, who is 

658
00:40:23,707 --> 00:40:26,400
the King James? 
I know that you do, who has new 

659
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,700
King, James new King James, this
verse 19 spell out as a question

660
00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:32,200
because I know the King James 
does, right? 

661
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,800
So if you have the new King 
James of the King, James verse 

662
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,900
19 is another question. 
Any other translation come to 

663
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:42,300
verse 20 and what more can David
say to you? 

664
00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:45,100
That's another question for, you
know, you're serving the lord 

665
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:46,700
God. 
Now scroll down to verse 23, 

666
00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:50,400
it's a longer question, who is 
like your People Israel when 

667
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,000
nation on Earth? 
Whom God went to redeem to be as

668
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,200
people. 
We scroll down, whom you redeem 

669
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,800
for yourself from Egypt and 
nation and its gods. 

670
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,000
This man this man based on his 
personal history with God and 

671
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,400
the history of the nation of 
Israel comes before. 

672
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,300
The Lord in Wonder wrapped in 
questions. 

673
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,000
Stunned by the goodness of God. 
Where he goes. 

674
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,500
God! 
Who am I God? 

675
00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:16,900
Who's this? 
Nation God. 

676
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:19,000
I can't believe that these 
things are true. 

677
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:25,000
But it all comes from what God 
has done who God says he is what

678
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,500
God has promised us that is the 
very thing that got him going. 

679
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,500
And I want you to see that. 
As I said earlier, communion 

680
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:41,300
with God and so many aspects of 
our spirituality is dependent 

681
00:41:41,300 --> 00:41:45,600
upon your engagement with the 
Bible, okay? 

682
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,100
There's a reason why the, the 
leaders of this church when we 

683
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:52,200
preach and we exhort there's a 
reason why much of our 

684
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,500
application is. 
Know your Bible get into the 

685
00:41:56,500 --> 00:41:59,000
Bible, read your Bible study, 
your Bible. 

686
00:41:59,300 --> 00:42:02,200
Know your why? 
Because we understand that the 

687
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,700
Bible itself, testifies about 
itself. 

688
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:09,500
That's so much that we want to 
master or know the maturity and 

689
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,500
comes from first, a foundation 
that is what you're holding in 

690
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:14,000
your hand tonight. 
Okay. 

691
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:18,600
I'm going to prove it to you 
Colossians 3:16, let the word of

692
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:19,700
Christ. 
Do what? 

693
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:26,500
Oh, you have the word in you? 
Yes, dwell in you richly richly.

694
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,700
Every time I read that verse 
every time I'm in Colossians, I 

695
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:33,200
ask Lord and I do an inventory. 
Is your word in me? 

696
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,400
Not just in me. 
Is it in me richly? 

697
00:42:36,300 --> 00:42:39,700
That's what I'ma is the tank on,
on the letter, f. 

698
00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:46,000
Is it abundant is it isn't? 
There is an overflowing. 

699
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,800
Is it on my tongue? 
Is it in my thoughts? 

700
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:50,900
Is it something? 
I sing. 

701
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,100
Or is it just in a corner of my 
heart? 

702
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:55,600
That's not what the Holy Spirit 
saying the holy spirit. 

703
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,700
Let it dwell richly. 
Let it be a spring that bubbles 

704
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:00,500
up. 
Let the word have that kind of 

705
00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:05,800
abiding force in your life. 
And when you go to Colossians 

706
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,000
3:16, you see the results of the
word of Christ. 

707
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,600
Dwelling in US richly. 
There's two main things. 

708
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:16,900
The first is what teaching? 
And admonishing, one another and

709
00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:20,600
all wisdom, okay? 
When the word of Christ was in a

710
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,800
person richly, they now reach to
an ability where they can, they 

711
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,200
can be a source of great, 
wisdom, guidance, exhortation 

712
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,800
and warning to others, and 
others can recognize that. 

713
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
So, then you become some source 
Of a well where they can draw 

714
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,600
from not because of anything who
you are, but what lives in you, 

715
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,000
right? 
So now, because Christ's words 

716
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,600
in you, it comes out of you and 
it touches those around you. 

717
00:43:48,300 --> 00:43:50,100
That's what happens when the 
word of Christ dwell in you 

718
00:43:50,100 --> 00:43:52,000
richly. 
I can guarantee you somebody who

719
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,200
has the word of Christ dwell in,
you richly, can't keep the word 

720
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,700
of Christ dwelling in them 
silently. 

721
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,400
Does this doesn't happen? 
I know those people brother. 

722
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,100
I just saw this in the word of 
God. 

723
00:44:01,100 --> 00:44:02,600
Do you believe this is? 
I've just been studying this 

724
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,600
order and they just can't stop. 
Or when you get up when you ask 

725
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,900
for advice, it always points to 
Something in the Bible. 

726
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,500
Right, it's not like every 
scenario and I know a few 

727
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:14,000
people. 
Like there's any scenario in 

728
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,800
life, you ask them for advice 
like well, you know, most this 

729
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,300
will happen to Moses, you 
remember that you remember, 

730
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:22,400
whether everything is a 
reference, to a text, a 

731
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,700
reference to a story reference, 
to a promise of reference to a 

732
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:29,200
warning and I'm blessed by it 
because it's God's word, it's 

733
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,300
God's word for, and many of 
those times it's something that 

734
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:36,200
I, maybe forgot something that I
missed, but I'm so blessed. 

735
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,100
When somebody has the word of 
Christ in them rich. 

736
00:44:40,700 --> 00:44:44,300
But the word of Christ dwelling 
in Us in such a degree is not 

737
00:44:44,300 --> 00:44:46,800
just intellectual. 
It's emotional because he goes 

738
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,200
on to say singing, Psalms and 
hymns and spiritual songs with 

739
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,700
thankfulness in your hearts, to 
God. 

740
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,800
The more you study, the more you
learn, the more you will 

741
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,700
discover in the sacred book, 
wonderful things, the more 

742
00:45:01,700 --> 00:45:08,000
Sparks will flicker in your soul
and will Electrify worship. 

743
00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:11,700
So the words in you and just 
something happens, right? 

744
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:15,300
There's just these Embers and 
then you're being blown on by 

745
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,400
the word of God, in a flame 
starts and then it begins to 

746
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:24,000
start and cause you to sing, not
mechanically, not routinely with

747
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,900
your mouth. 
Hims, not that Paul says, with 

748
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:33,000
thankfulness in your heart, Your
heart is engaged, your heart 

749
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,800
comes to life, and something 
happens to you. 

750
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,400
And to the point where you're 
unashamedly singing to the Lord,

751
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:46,500
as a result of what a talented 
worship band, a new kind of song

752
00:45:46,500 --> 00:45:51,700
with new tricks in a very clever
Bridge or no, because the word 

753
00:45:51,700 --> 00:45:54,400
of Christ dwelling in you 
richly. 

754
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,200
The word of Christ being poured 
into you richly through deep 

755
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,900
theological music. 
Something happens, it begins to 

756
00:46:01,900 --> 00:46:07,400
affect you, even emotionally. 
And it's Thanksgiving, right? 

757
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,200
Thankfulness in your heart that 
you learned that you read 

758
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,300
anything in the word and you 
realize oh he is worthy of my 

759
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:17,100
gratitude and it comes from a 
genuine place of pleasure. 

760
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:24,600
Here's the thing. you have some 
people have this weird 

761
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,100
misconception in Christendom, I 
don't know and it circulates 

762
00:46:29,300 --> 00:46:32,900
That. 
Coming to the Bible studying, 

763
00:46:32,900 --> 00:46:35,500
the Bible reading. 
The Bible is intellectual 

764
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:39,600
gymnastics, it's heady. 
And if you're, if you're 

765
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,500
well-versed if you're educated, 
you're probably dry. 

766
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,700
You probably stuffy, you 
probably don't have an intimate 

767
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:50,300
walk with the Lord, and I get it
because those people exist 

768
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:52,800
because it's not an automatic 
promise. 

769
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,800
That the more you study, the 
more you will be blessed the way

770
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,200
clashes talks about. 
It depends on your attitude and 

771
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:01,100
approach to the word of God. 
IE the Pharisees okay. 

772
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,700
So that's true, there is 
protocol. 

773
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:06,700
And very limited protocol. 
Just really humility and longing

774
00:47:06,700 --> 00:47:09,200
to know, God, on a personal 
level and obey the word. 

775
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,200
But there's this weird idea that
if you, if you learn, if you 

776
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,600
compare, if you get deep, if you
do, all these things with words 

777
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,600
on a page, its intellectual it's
academic, but it's not 

778
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,400
spiritual. 
It's one of the most spiritual 

779
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:31,600
exercises you can be doing Can 
you think of another passage in 

780
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,500
one of the Epistles where the 
reality is that? 

781
00:47:34,500 --> 00:47:37,100
I just read to you from 
Colossians, 3:16 are very 

782
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:41,600
similar. 
I think addressing one another 

783
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,700
in Psalms, hymns, spiritual 
songs can be thanks in your 

784
00:47:44,700 --> 00:47:48,200
heart. 
Thank you. 

785
00:47:48,900 --> 00:47:53,000
Did you hear that? 
In the very same place where 

786
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,200
Paul tells the Ephesians to not 
be drunk with wine but be filled

787
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,300
with the Holy Spirit, okay? 
I want you to see this and 

788
00:48:00,300 --> 00:48:02,300
Ephesians, 5:18 turn there very 
quickly. 

789
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:09,700
Here's what I'm about to show 
you. 

790
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,900
The results of the word of 
Christ. 

791
00:48:13,900 --> 00:48:18,600
Dwelling in US, richly are 
identical to the results that 

792
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,600
come from being filled with the 
Holy Spirit. 

793
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,200
Have you ever noticed that when 
you compare those two texts? 

794
00:48:25,700 --> 00:48:28,200
Look. 
Ephesians 818 is only an 

795
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,800
expansion of what Colossians 
3:16 Says, and do not get drunk 

796
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,100
with wine for that is 
debauchery. 

797
00:48:33,100 --> 00:48:35,200
But be filled with the spirit 
addressing one. 

798
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,200
Another in Psalms, and hymns, 
and spiritual songs singing, and

799
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,500
making Melody to the Lord, with 
your heart giving. 

800
00:48:41,500 --> 00:48:43,900
Thanks always and for everything
to God, the father, in the name 

801
00:48:43,900 --> 00:48:48,400
of our Lord, Jesus Christ. 
So look what the holy spirit is 

802
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,500
trying to show us. 
Having the word in you. 

803
00:48:53,700 --> 00:48:58,400
Is synonymous inseparable. 
To being filled with the Holy 

804
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,000
Spirit. 
So if there's this idea of 

805
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:07,500
ignoring or neglecting the 
Bible, but hopefully wanting to 

806
00:49:07,500 --> 00:49:11,500
be filled with the Holy Spirit 
is a delusion, it's a delusion. 

807
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,600
It doesn't exist and people and 
I've seen many Christians like 

808
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,900
this who claimed to be 
Spirit-filled people, right? 

809
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,100
But have little respect For the 
proclamation of the word of God,

810
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,700
studying the word of God, 
expounding the word of God. 

811
00:49:29,100 --> 00:49:32,000
Such people have a false sense 
of spirituality. 

812
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:39,300
No matter how much emotion they 
show demonstrate, I'll tell you 

813
00:49:39,300 --> 00:49:40,800
this. 
Many of the people that I've 

814
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,600
known in my own life that we're,
that seemed to be the most 

815
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,100
excited about God, but we're 
very shallow with the word of 

816
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:46,800
God. 
That it was a vacuum cleaner. 

817
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,600
Just collected dust in the 
house, more than anything else. 

818
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:55,000
Are in dangerous places today, 
and sin, serious sin, ugly sin. 

819
00:49:56,700 --> 00:50:01,200
Because they were chasing 
spirituality without being 

820
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,600
anchored, in the word of God and
that will eventually lead you 

821
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,800
into heresy, eventually. 
It's going to lead you into 

822
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,700
weird practices. 
Weird Doctrine or, all right. 

823
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:16,200
All out sin in the end but the 
holy spirit says, if you want to

824
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,200
be filled with the Holy Spirit, 
guess what? 

825
00:50:18,300 --> 00:50:19,900
You need to be filled with the 
word of God. 

826
00:50:20,700 --> 00:50:22,000
That's what he's trying to say 
by this. 

827
00:50:22,700 --> 00:50:24,500
They have the paralleling 
effects. 

828
00:50:25,300 --> 00:50:30,200
So eat this word suck. 
The honey out of this were 

829
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,900
dispersion would say just in, 
just indulge in this word and 

830
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:37,200
realize that if you come with 
the posture of obedience of 

831
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:41,300
humility of worship, then the 
spirits power will flow into 

832
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:47,100
your heart. as you bring this 
word, into that heart, And so, 

833
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:51,100
David could come in this 
powerful prayer before God's 

834
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:55,000
presence because of verse 27, 
which tells us of a revelation 

835
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,900
that was the thrust that brought
him into this intimacy. 

836
00:50:58,900 --> 00:51:03,700
With the Lord God's word itself 
to him in his life, believe that

837
00:51:03,700 --> 00:51:06,100
Frieza, I hope that 
revolutionizes our lives 

838
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,300
Revolutionizes Our Lives. 
If you want your prayer life to 

839
00:51:11,308 --> 00:51:14,100
be blessed, if you want your 
singing, to be blessed, if you 

840
00:51:14,100 --> 00:51:15,400
want your attitude, to be 
blessed. 

841
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,800
If you want your emotional state
to be blessed. 

842
00:51:19,300 --> 00:51:24,500
Hug this word embrace it. 
No, it growing, it talk about 

843
00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:28,200
it, love it and watch what will 
happen to you. 

844
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:32,400
I won't go too much further. 
Let's come back to our prayer 

845
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:39,600
here you with one final thought.
Many of you brought up all of 

846
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,200
these points. 
Here's one. 

847
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,700
Last one before we close. 
David's praying was motivated by

848
00:51:44,700 --> 00:51:47,000
God's glory. 
Our brother read earlier in 

849
00:51:47,008 --> 00:51:50,400
verse 25 and 26, and I will Lord
God, confirmed forever. 

850
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,100
The word that you've spoken 
concerning your servant and 

851
00:51:53,100 --> 00:51:56,600
concerning his house and do, as 
you have spoken, pause for what 

852
00:51:57,700 --> 00:52:00,000
For what? 
Lord, because I yeah. 

853
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,400
I did do pretty good. 
Didn't I? 

854
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,500
As a Shepherd? 
I was faithful when I was 

855
00:52:05,900 --> 00:52:10,000
unknown. 
Yeah, I stood up the Goliath 

856
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,200
when nobody else would. 
I could have killed Saul but I 

857
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,700
didn't. 
I'm so humble, think I'm gonna 

858
00:52:16,700 --> 00:52:18,000
write a book about me? 
Humility. 

859
00:52:20,100 --> 00:52:23,900
No, first 26, and your name will
be magnified forever. 

860
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,500
David's longing for God to 
confirm his promise to him and 

861
00:52:31,500 --> 00:52:34,700
his descendants was so that for 
Generations. 

862
00:52:34,700 --> 00:52:39,000
God's name would be exalted. 
That was what moved his heart to

863
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,100
the core and I want to tell you 
this live like that pray like 

864
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:48,000
that. 
Make decisions with that in mind

865
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,300
for many reasons, right? 
Or else we will we will be 

866
00:52:52,300 --> 00:52:55,800
indicted for the crime of using 
God as a means for our own 

867
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,100
Glory. 
That's a that's a very ugly. 

868
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,000
But for other reasons I don't 
think people are aware of the 

869
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:07,800
wonderful security and joy that 
is reserved for those who are 

870
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:12,600
completely convinced that they 
want God's glory to be known at 

871
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:17,400
any cost, there is something so 
protective and pleasurable 

872
00:53:17,700 --> 00:53:23,700
living that way. 
A heart that's in golf to this 

873
00:53:23,700 --> 00:53:26,700
degree. 
Literally when your heart is 

874
00:53:26,700 --> 00:53:31,700
just coated with that, it leaves
no room for jealousy for Envy 

875
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,800
for Pride to penetrate and make 
a home in that heart. 

876
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,300
It just like, living for God's. 
Glory, is like a bulletproof 

877
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:45,300
vest for your soul. 
It's very difficult to infect 

878
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:50,100
that person with something as 
hideous as what we see in Saul. 

879
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:56,000
So because David was so in love 
with the glory of God when God 

880
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,100
said David I love what's in your
heart but you're not going to be

881
00:53:59,100 --> 00:54:01,000
the guy that's going to build me
this house. 

882
00:54:01,100 --> 00:54:10,200
David can say, who Am I, who am 
I Spurgeon said, be willing o 

883
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:16,600
vessel in the house of the Lord.
To be hung up on a nail in the 

884
00:54:16,607 --> 00:54:20,700
wall. 
Or to be late aside in a corner.

885
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:25,400
If so God would be glorified 
for, thus, was it with David 

886
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:30,800
seemed to say they're be pleased
to be hung on a wall by now, or 

887
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,200
be pleased to be stuffed in a 
corner. 

888
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:36,100
If in doing so God would be 
glorified. 

889
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,800
So David could receive the no 
because if the gnomon God's 

890
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:48,600
glory then let it be no you see 
more than that David. 

891
00:54:49,300 --> 00:54:51,800
When he saw God using somebody 
else blessing. 

892
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:57,800
Somebody else promoting somebody
was not was not Okay, you're in 

893
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,000
the way even if it was his son 
Solomon, right? 

894
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,900
And you might say, well, of 
course, he's happy, it's his son

895
00:55:03,900 --> 00:55:06,200
who wouldn't be happy. 
He would have feel some kind of 

896
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,800
Pride if their son was being 
used by God in such a way. 

897
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,800
Are we actually under the 
persuasion that sin cannot so 

898
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,300
Kill us that we can actually 
look at a relative even our own 

899
00:55:17,300 --> 00:55:20,900
offspring and despised them. 
Do we forget so easily about 

900
00:55:20,900 --> 00:55:25,000
Saul who with his own son, 
Jonathan, when he seemed to be a

901
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,900
threat to receiving praise, he 
did something about it. 

902
00:55:29,300 --> 00:55:33,600
That's how ugly sin can make us.
And yet this man David was not 

903
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:38,000
shifted in any direction because
he was so grounded in this glory

904
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,000
of God, really. 
And so, when it came to Solomon 

905
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:45,400
being elevated, being promoted, 
you know what David could do. 

906
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,200
He can encourage him. 
So David David had the door 

907
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,500
closed of not being able to 
build the temple, but what did 

908
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:54,700
David do we know this? 
What did he end up doing about 

909
00:55:54,700 --> 00:55:58,000
the temple? 
He prepared all the material. 

910
00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:58,800
He's okay. 
Fine. 

911
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,300
If I can't have that position 
then let me do whatever I can to

912
00:56:02,300 --> 00:56:04,900
make sure that God is glorified.
I have all these resources I 

913
00:56:04,900 --> 00:56:06,700
have all these connections. 
We're going to get all the 

914
00:56:06,700 --> 00:56:10,700
material yes we gathers all the 
material prepares for his son 

915
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:13,500
and more than that in first 
Chronicles 28. 

916
00:56:13,700 --> 00:56:15,600
He looks at his own son, you 
don't have to turn there but 

917
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,600
listen to these words, this man 
who was told no you're not going

918
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,300
to build, your son is going to 
build can look at this son of 

919
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:27,200
his and say to him in verse 
twenty first car. 28. 

920
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:31,800
Then David said to Solomon his 
son, be strong and courageous be

921
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,400
strong and courageous and do it.
Do not be afraid and do not be 

922
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,200
dismayed for the Lord. 
God even my God is with you, he 

923
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,800
will not leave you or forsake 
you until all the work of the 

924
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,700
service of the house of the Lord
is finished. 

925
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:51,800
David was able to energetically 
encourage Solomon. 

926
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,900
Do you know why? 
Because of the glory of God, and

927
00:56:54,900 --> 00:56:56,600
if we don't live for the glory 
of God, you know, what can 

928
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,500
happen. 
We are in danger of envying, the

929
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:01,300
very ones that were supposed to 
be encouraging. 

930
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,600
Hi. 
We're in danger of looking at a 

931
00:57:06,607 --> 00:57:10,300
brother a sister who has been 
anointed by the Holy Spirit, who

932
00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:13,200
has been, who has been given 
greater expansion of influence 

933
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:16,500
and to feel as though they are 
competitor instead of a partner 

934
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:21,100
for the glory of God. 
But because of the glory of God,

935
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,000
here's how powerful this to live
with this motivation, whether 

936
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,300
you are the means or Not, by 
which God's goal is accomplished

937
00:57:30,900 --> 00:57:34,600
because you're all about that 
goal, regardless of the vessel. 

938
00:57:34,900 --> 00:57:37,100
Even if it's not, you you can 
Rejoice. 

939
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,000
Yes, God is being glorified 
through him. 

940
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:41,600
God is being glorified through 
her. 

941
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,600
God's name is being praised in 
this way, even though you're not

942
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:45,800
involved. 
Even though you're not the 

943
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,300
direct agent because you were so
enthralled by the glory of God. 

944
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,200
Wherever it is coming from you 
can rejoice. 

945
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,100
And listen, this is a genuine 
struggle for genuine Disciples 

946
00:57:57,100 --> 00:58:00,800
of Jesus Christ. 
Even, even the closest 

947
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,900
disciples, remember, one of the 
disciples came up to Jesus. 

948
00:58:02,900 --> 00:58:04,600
Hey Jesus. 
They're trying to cast out 

949
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,400
demons in your name, but then 
with us. 

950
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,700
She's like, what are you talking
about? 

951
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:16,100
They are for us. 
And so there's always that that 

952
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:21,100
temptation. 
To struggle with our identity in

953
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:22,500
God. 
And I think the solution is 

954
00:58:22,500 --> 00:58:23,800
really Living For the Glory of 
God. 

955
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:25,800
How do we get there though? 
Can live for the glory of God 

956
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,100
live for the glory of God? 
Look, how do I get there? 

957
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:31,800
I believe the answer is here. 
The answer is in this text. 

958
00:58:34,100 --> 00:58:37,300
Some might say, well, have a big
view of God, have an awesome 

959
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,600
view of God. 
Yes, that's that's in part, but 

960
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:43,900
I know many people who love the 
word of God at least information

961
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:48,000
in the word of God who can soar 
in their explanation of the word

962
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,500
of God and they are eaten up by 
self Glory. 

963
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:55,600
So it's that's that's just part 
of the solution. 

964
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,800
Can I tell you what? 
I think is the the biggest 

965
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,900
ingredient missing for people to
be perpetually in that state of 

966
00:59:02,900 --> 00:59:06,800
living for the glory of God. 
It's because they don't have an 

967
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,500
accurate view of themselves. 
That's why. 

968
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:17,300
How did David start? 
Who am I? 

969
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,200
That's where you need to be. 
That's where I need to be. 

970
00:59:21,500 --> 00:59:30,400
Who am I Have a big view of God 
and have an honest perception of

971
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,000
yourself, and I think sometimes 
we focus so much here. 

972
00:59:35,300 --> 00:59:37,600
That we think that we're just 
like a little bit under Jesus. 

973
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:41,300
He's just a little bit better. 
Just like how we think of him. 

974
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:43,500
We think Heaven is just like a 
little bit better than America. 

975
00:59:44,900 --> 00:59:46,900
That's why we struggling and I 
don't know if I want to go back.

976
00:59:46,900 --> 00:59:48,900
I don't know if I want to go to 
Glory, you have no idea what 

977
00:59:48,900 --> 00:59:55,700
you're talking about, okay? 
And so, There needs to be 

978
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:59,500
something of our application of 
the word we say. 

979
00:59:59,500 --> 01:00:03,400
Lord show me who I really am. 
Show me who I would be without 

980
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,300
you show me. 
How dependent upon I am by your 

981
01:00:07,300 --> 01:00:12,700
microsecond Mercies in my life. 
Tell me realize that if you call

982
01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:18,300
me for the rest of my life to 
tie the shoes of those who serve

983
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:22,400
you that even in that, I would 
be seen as an unworthy servant. 

984
01:00:24,700 --> 01:00:29,600
May God help us in that. 
There is so much protection. 

985
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,300
So much pleasure, so much 
promise. 

986
01:00:34,300 --> 01:00:36,100
In living with those three words
in mind. 

987
01:00:36,500 --> 01:00:39,500
Who Am I? 
Who am I Lori? 

988
01:00:39,500 --> 01:00:43,300
Thank you. 
For this Bible study. 

989
01:00:44,700 --> 01:00:49,000
Four. 
Being able to share with one 

990
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,700
another what we've seen in this 
text. 

991
01:00:51,700 --> 01:00:54,900
And Lord tonight we take it to 
heart and we say, who are we, 

992
01:00:56,100 --> 01:00:59,000
who are we to be saved by your 
grace? 

993
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,400
And who are we to be used for 
your glory? 

994
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,500
And who are we to be able to 
meet in this place freely to 

995
01:01:04,500 --> 01:01:07,000
worship you who are we? 
What are we? 

996
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:12,400
We are but dust and Ash. 
But the very fact that we can 

997
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,700
sit, the very fact that we can 
move, the very fact that we can 

998
01:01:14,700 --> 01:01:17,900
breathe. 
The very fact that we can we can

999
01:01:17,900 --> 01:01:23,800
learn is because you have 
allowed us to Lord tonight, we 

1000
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:30,800
just pray that there would be 
revived campaign in each of Our 

1001
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,700
Lives, to master the word of 
God. 

1002
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,300
The Lord may be said of every 
person here whether this is 

1003
01:01:38,300 --> 01:01:42,800
their home church or not. 
That the word of Christ dwells 

1004
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:47,400
in US richly. 
Lord protect us from a vain 

1005
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,300
pursuit of the word of God and 
help us Lord know the full 

1006
01:01:51,300 --> 01:01:54,500
potential as we come to this 
word day by day. 

1007
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,300
Floor with this one life that we
have. 

1008
01:01:57,300 --> 01:02:02,400
May we be a spectacle to an 
unbelieving world and to a host 

1009
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,700
of angels, who are watching the 
wisdom of God being unfolded 

1010
01:02:05,700 --> 01:02:09,100
through the church. 
We ask Lord Jesus. 

1011
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:14,300
That you would Infusing us a 
humility. 

1012
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:21,000
That you would teach us how to 
sit at the feet of Jesus that 

1013
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,200
that would not be a duty that 
would be a deep Delight to know 

1014
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,600
how we can just pause on 
everything saying, oh I just 

1015
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:32,600
want to sit with him and speak 
to him and tell him how 

1016
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:37,000
wonderful he is and tell him my 
needs and pour out my my mom 

1017
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:43,500
wants to him Lord. 
Revive revive, that Pursuit. 

1018
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,400
Lord, in this place. 
We sing to you because we have 

1019
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:52,100
been receiving the word of God. 
Me, that overflow, as we respond

1020
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,900
and worship, Jesus name, we 
pray. 

1021
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:55,600
Amen.
