Well, what's your secret? 88 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,200 What's your? Secret Tell us, tell us. 89 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,520 All right, let's So let me tell you about a promise that God 90 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,840 made so many, many, many years ago. 91 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,840 There was a man named Noah, and during his time there was really 92 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:03,200 bad people and God got really upset and he told Noah, he said 93 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,880 build an ark. I want you to build it big 94 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,800 enough that'll hold two of every animal. 95 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,960 So, oh, no one got to work. Everybody thought no one was 96 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,600 crazy 'cause filled this big boat. 97 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,440 But he built it. Well, after he got it built and 98 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,440 got all the animals on there that God told him to put on 99 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,600 there, God let it rain for 40 days and 40 nights and it will 100 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,560 get flooded. That's what you paint and your 101 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920 legs down. OK, I probably wear shorts on 102 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:39,360 murder. OK, yes, the boat did flush and 103 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,040 so, but it washed away everything else, anything else 104 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,920 that was on earth, people, animals, everything, it got 105 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:51,720 washed away. So for 150 days the boat stayed 106 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,480 in the water until God said let the waters recede. 107 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,080 So the waters went away. And so it's Noah and his wife, 108 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:05,040 his two sons and their wives, and they started making more 109 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,079 people. So but God's promise to Noah 110 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,520 says that he put a rainbow in the sky and told Noah, I have 111 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,119 set my rainbow in the clouds and it will be a sign of the promise 112 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760 between me and all life on the earth. 113 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,960 So anytime you see a rainbow in the sky after it rains, have 114 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:32,160 y'all seen a rainbow before? No, you anyway, if you see a 115 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,960 rainbow in the sky, that means God's promise to us, but he will 116 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,320 never flood the earth again. So we can always count on God's 117 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,200 promises, especially the rainbow, right? 118 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,520 Yeah, it says what has this? Just what in Mississippi. 119 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,640 All it does have lot. No, we don't have lives. 120 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,480 All right, let us pray. Bow your head. 121 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,400 All right, Dear God, we're thankful that you keep your 122 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,120 promises and remain faithful through every season. 123 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,240 Help us trust in your word and remember that you will never 124 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,480 fail us.

Lord. 186 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,520 Jesus Christ, it gave his all for our sins. 187 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,520 We come acknowledging that we are sinful people. 188 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:53,120 We do not follow what we should be doing all every day, but we 189 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,680 accept the fact that you have paid parts for our sins and we 190 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:03,280 come acknowledging you as our Lord and Savior around this 191 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:09,360 table because it was His blood, it was shed for our sins. 192 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:17,200 Bless us as we partake. Remind us that as we go forward 193 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,200 we have an example to follow. In Jesus name I pray. 194 00:31:23,200 --> 00:34:52,300 Amen. The Lord Jesus, on the night he 195 00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:55,620 was betrayed, took bread. And we didn't give him thanks, 196 00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:57,620 he broke. It and said this is my body 197 00:34:57,620 --> 00:35:00,340 given. For you do this in remembrance 198 00:35:00,340 --> 00:35:07,760 of me in the same way. After supper he took the cup, 199 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,840 saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. 200 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,160 Do this whenever. You drink it in remembrance of 201 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:40,080 me. For whenever you eat this. 202 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,440 Bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords death until 203 00:35:44,440 --> 00:36:24,090 he comes. This morning I want to ask you a 204 00:36:24,090 --> 00:36:32,970 question as we get started. How many of you enjoy waiting? 205 00:36:35,810 --> 00:36:38,850 Anybody enjoy waiting? Anybody like to go to the 206 00:36:38,850 --> 00:36:43,130 doctor's office? Your appointment's at 9:00, you 207 00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:46,530 get there at 8:50, and at 940 you're still sitting in the 208 00:36:46,530 --> 00:36:48,610 doctor's office waiting. Anybody enjoy that? 209 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:55,640 No. How about your waiting for your 210 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,600 food to come? You are hungry, you've ordered. 211 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,280 You only have a certain amount of time to eat. 212 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,480 You keep looking at your watch thinking it's going to come at 213 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,080 any moment. You can't wait for it to come. 214 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,160 But you're waiting and you're waiting and you're waiting and 215 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,400 your food doesn't come and your food doesn't come. 216 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:19,440 Anybody enjoy that? You know, how about this, how 217 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:23,280 about you are going to a concert of some someone that you really 218 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:29,120 like and you got to get there early because it's open seating. 219 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,360 You don't have a sign seating. It's open seating. 220 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,200 And they tell you, look, if you want a good seat, you got to get 221 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,080 here early and you get there. Some people get there two and 222 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,480 three and four hours before it even begins because they want to 223 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,760 hear that person so badly and be so close to the front. 224 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,240 And they wait and they wait and they wait. 225 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:59,560 But do they enjoy it? I I doubt it, but they're 226 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:07,640 willing to do it. You're driving along the road. 227 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,080 You're looking so forward to getting to your destination. 228 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,160 Traffic's been sailing along just as smooth as it can be. 229 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,800 You're making great time. And you come over the top of the 230 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:24,480 hill and all of a sudden there is traffic backed up as far as 231 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,400 you can see. And you don't know if it's a 232 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,680 wreck, You don't know what has happened, but you do know this. 233 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,440 You're waiting. You're at a standstill. 234 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,080 You're not going forward to the place that you desire to go. 235 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:44,200 Do you enjoy it? No, waiting is something that 236 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,440 does not come natural to us. We live in a world today that 237 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,320 you can order something on Amazon and within 24 hours, 238 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,320 sometimes it will be at your doorstep when you get home. 239 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,400 Now here's the interesting thing about I've noticed about Amazon. 240 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,680 For me, if it's something that my children won't or my wife 241 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,680 wants or we're getting something for the dog, that stuff is there 242 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,760 in an instant. I order something and I am 243 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,560 waiting. I'm so excited about it coming 244 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,480 and I go out the next days. They tell me it's going to be 245 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,120 there by 4:00 and guess what? My package is not there. 246 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,680 You're going to have to wait longer. 247 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,120 And I tell Katie Grace, get on there and look and see what's 248 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,760 going on. What's the problem? 249 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,160 I don't know. It's back ordered or they say 250 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:36,600 that it's here, but it's not here. 251 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,400 We, we don't know what's wrong and I have to wait. 252 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,520 I hate waiting. Most of us hate waiting. 253 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,240 But listen to this passage of Scripture. 254 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,120 I want to read the very last verse first and then I'm going 255 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,480 to go back and give you the rest of it. 256 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,280 But this is what it says. Psalm 27 and verse 14. 257 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:04,960 Wait for the Lord. Be strong and take heart and 258 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,240 wait for the Lord. I'm going to be honest with you, 259 00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,680 and that's not one of my favorite passages of Scripture. 260 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,720 I've told you all before, I have a lot of favorite passages of 261 00:40:14,720 --> 00:40:20,800 Scripture, but Psalm 27 and verse 14 does not make it on the 262 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:26,680 list because I got to wait. And actually I'm getting a 263 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:30,240 command from the Lord to wait. But let me back up to the 264 00:40:30,240 --> 00:40:34,840 beginning of Psalm 27 and read you these first 13 verses, and 265 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,560 they will come back in to verse 14. 266 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,360 This is a Psalm of David that he is writing. 267 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,600 The Lord is my light and my salvation. 268 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,840 Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my 269 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,000 life. Of whom shall I be afraid when 270 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,720 the wicked advance against me to devour me? 271 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,640 It is my enemies and my foes. Foes who will stumble. 272 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,160 And fall. Though an army besiege me, my 273 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160 heart will not fear the war break out against me. 274 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,480 Even then I will be confident. One thing I asked from the Lord 275 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,080 This only do I seek, that I may dwell in the House of the Lord 276 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:19,360 all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord, and 277 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,120 to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble He 278 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,080 will keep me safe in His dwelling. 279 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,080 He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me up 280 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,760 high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted 281 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,360 above the enemies who surround me at His sacred 10 I will 282 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,600 sacrifice with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to 283 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,920 the Lord. Hear my voice when I call Lord, 284 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:48,560 be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says, If you seek his 285 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,320 face, your face, Lord, I will seek. 286 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,480 Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in 287 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,440 anger. You have been my helper. 288 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:03,280 Do not reject me or forsake me. God, my Savior, though my father 289 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,920 and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. 290 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,200 Teach me your way, Lord. Lead me in a straight path 291 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,480 because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the 292 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,080 desires of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me 293 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,600 spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this. 294 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:25,200 I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living 295 00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:28,600 in verse 14. Wait for the Lord. 296 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,520 Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. 297 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,120 When David is writing this Psalm, he's writing this to his, 298 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:45,080 to his heavenly Father, who has shown him time after time after 299 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:50,560 time, that he will come through, that he will deliver him, that 300 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,320 he will bring him through to the other side. 301 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,600 God offers us hope for the future. 302 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,960 He gives us confidence in Him that He never fails, that He 303 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,840 never falls short. Amazon promises next day 304 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,760 delivery. I expect next day delivery but 305 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:15,280 do I always get it? No, I saw a new ad by Burger 306 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,760 King the other day and it's was talking about getting the 307 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,240 whopper your way. Y'all know that I like a burger 308 00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:23,640 too? And it's said that if you get, 309 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,520 if you order your Whopper and it does not come the way that you 310 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,760 desire for it to, they're going to remake it for you right then 311 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,320 and right there. And not only that, they're going 312 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,040 to give you another Whopper on your next visit for free. 313 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:41,880 Now that sounds good to me. How often do you go into a fast 314 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,880 food restaurant however, and your food is how you ordered it? 315 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,280 Very rare these days. Even Chick-fil-A is starting to 316 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,480 fall short of of my expectations. 317 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,760 When and I, you know, I, I, I expect great things out of 318 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,720 Chick-fil-A, but every now and then even Chick-fil-A falls 319 00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,960 short. We are waiting. 320 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,640 It comes and it is not what we have expected. 321 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,280 How often do we wait for things? How often do we look forward to 322 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,240 things? Maybe it's a vacation. 323 00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:15,720 Maybe it's a new job that you've been waiting to get. 324 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,120 You get into that position and all of a sudden you realize this 325 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:25,560 is not what I was expecting. You buy a new car. 326 00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:28,640 You've been want it for so long, you've been saving up. 327 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,680 You finally have the down payment. 328 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,120 There's finally one on the lot. It's the color you want. 329 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,160 It's the interior that you want. It's the rims that you like. 330 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,640 It's got the good stereo. The price is right. 331 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,160 And you buy that car and you drive it home and for about a 332 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,280 week you're thinking, wow, this is the greatest thing ever. 333 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,960 And all of a sudden a week passes and then two weeks and 334 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,800 three weeks. And on that 4th week you realize 335 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,520 it's time to start paying for that new vehicle. 336 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,440 And you think, was this a good idea? 337 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,320 I waited all this time for this and now I got to pay for it for 338 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,560 the next. Used to be 4 years, then it was 339 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,840 five years. Now they go six and seven years 340 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,920 because cars cost so much to spread out your payments. 341 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,480 And for all of those years you will be paying month after month 342 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,840 after month. But when you see it on the TV, 343 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,880 you can't wait for it. It's going to be great. 344 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,840 It's going to make me happy. It's going to give me exactly 345 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:37,480 what I desire. The world tells us if you will 346 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,240 wait and you will work hard for what we want you to get, what we 347 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:44,960 desire, for you to have all your wants and all your desires are 348 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,920 going to be fulfilled. We wait for movies to come out. 349 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:55,920 We see the clips on the on the television, the little previews 350 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,800 and we think wow, that's going to be an awesome movie. 351 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:04,480 We go pay $3035 and then we get popcorn and Cokes and whatever 352 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,560 else it is. You end up spending 50, sixty, 353 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,720 $70.00 to go to the movie and you go and see the movie and 354 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:11,880 you're like, we waited all this time for this. 355 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,080 Some people get married. They have been waiting all their 356 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,600 lives to get married. And I know we talked about 357 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,600 getting a ring. Carolina, I'm not going to rain 358 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,040 on your parade. But sometimes we wait and wait. 359 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,800 And boy, we pursue those ladies and we can't wait for them to 360 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,960 say yes. And they finally say yes. 361 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:37,560 And we get married and all of a sudden we realize, wow, this is 362 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,240 different than I expected it to be, Chris. 363 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:42,160 It's. Better. 364 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,800 Oh, Chris has gotten better. Yeah, for him. 365 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,200 Oh, for Chris. It's gotten better. 366 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,320 Not for you, Chris. I'm sorry about that fella. 367 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,080 We have these expectations and we wait for it and, and the and 368 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:03,280 the time comes and all of a sudden we realize that she is 369 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,160 not going to pick up our clothes every single day and wash them 370 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,280 and. Fold them and have them. 371 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,840 Ready and also go to work and make half of the money and give 372 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,800 me what I want and cook me the food that I want and the meals 373 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,200 that I want and have everything ready. 374 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,880 And then she's going to realize he's not going to put gas in my 375 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,520 car every single time like he did when we were dating. 376 00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,600 He's not going to pay for every single meal when we go out. 377 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,680 Once we get married, he'll be saying, hey, mine was only 378 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,080 $17.00, yours is 22. Give me your half. 379 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,120 He kept the yard Immaculate before you moved in. 380 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,000 You move in and now you have to say, are you going to cut the 381 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,080 grass this week? I don't know, I'm kind of tired. 382 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,360 Garbage cans full? Yep, it sure is. 383 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,000 We won't take it out. No, I don't either. 384 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,920 We are waiting and we are have these expectations for things 385 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:00,360 and they don't deliver because real life happens. 386 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,720 We realized that this person that we married is not perfect. 387 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:14,520 I know that's shocking for us. Sometimes we wait. 388 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,520 We wait expectantly. We are hoping, we are desiring 389 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,800 and then we get what we've been waiting for and we realized that 390 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,080 it does not deliver on the promises that were made. 391 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,040 I want to give you 2 more scriptures. 392 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,280 One is from Psalm 130 and verse 5. 393 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,000 It says this I'll wait for the Lord. 394 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,080 My whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope. 395 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,520 I'll wait for the Lord more than Watchmen wait for the morning. 396 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,240 Israel, put your hope in the Lord for the For with the Lord 397 00:48:53,240 --> 00:48:56,240 is unfailing love, and with him is full redemption. 398 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,520 He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. 399 00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:04,320 Next one is from Isaiah chapter 40. 400 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:12,240 I'm going to begin in verse 28. Do you not know? 401 00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,640 Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, 402 00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,160 the creator of the ends of the earth. 403 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,160 He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can 404 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,880 fathom. He gives strength to the weary, 405 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,080 and it increases the power of the weak. 406 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,560 Even used grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. 407 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:35,720 But those who hope in the Lord, those who wait for the Lord, 408 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,880 will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like 409 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,680 eagles. They will run and not grow 410 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,600 weary. They will walk and not be faint. 411 00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,520 This morning I want to ask you a question. 412 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,480 Told you I was going to ask you a question. 413 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,200 Do you like to wait? Most of us I would agree would 414 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,120 say no. Next question I want to ask you, 415 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:06,440 is this where is your hope? Is your hope in the things of 416 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,160 this world or your is your hope in the expectation of another 417 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,120 person? Is the hope and your expectation 418 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,840 of the job that you were going to get? 419 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,480 Is your hope and the expectation of when you graduate from school 420 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,320 and you get out and on your own and you think everything's just 421 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,720 going to be perfect? I don't have to answer to 422 00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,800 parents anymore. I don't have to be in at a 423 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:29,720 certain time. I don't have to clean my room 424 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,720 and on and on and on it goes. I don't have to do homework. 425 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,360 I don't have to do anything that I don't want to do. 426 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,240 But then we also realized when we get out on our own that we do 427 00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:41,440 have to pay our rent. We do have to pay our bills. 428 00:50:41,720 --> 00:50:43,520 We do have to put gas in our own cars. 429 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,240 We do have to buy our own food. We do have to pay our own 430 00:50:46,240 --> 00:50:50,080 insurance, insurance and on and on and on it goes. 431 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,320 It doesn't deliver on the promises. 432 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,840 All that we had put our hope in. They fall short. 433 00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:06,120 I want to give you something this morning to hopefully that 434 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,840 when you leave here that your hope is in the one who never 435 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:16,200 fails, that your hope is in the one who delivers on all of his 436 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,600 promises. That your hope is in the one who 437 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,160 will be with you no matter what the circumstances are. 438 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,960 The one thing that we can wait for and might not be 439 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,960 disappointed in is our Heavenly Father. 440 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,320 Some of us are up in age and we're getting to the point of 441 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,400 where we're. I've heard people say I'm I'm 442 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,960 ready when the Lord calls me home. 443 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:52,040 We were on the way home from softball tournament yesterday 444 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,280 and we it was so hot out there and we were in the car and Jim 445 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,960 was sitting over here and in the front beside me. 446 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,800 We had the air just blowing is is all it could do. 447 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,080 Girls were sitting in the back and just said, I, I am so tired, 448 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,440 I am so hot. She said, I just want to tell 449 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,080 y'all if the Lord calls me home, don't be sad for me. 450 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,600 And she's, she's a young younger lady. 451 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:23,600 Some of us are getting to the age of where we think, Lord, I'm 452 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,320 just waiting for you to call me home. 453 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,080 Some of us are still really young. 454 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:36,200 My daughter just graduated from MC and she's a a nurse and she's 455 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,560 at UMC and she's going through her training and in the very 456 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:44,080 near future, she's going to be put out on her own without a 457 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,640 preceptor, without someone to kind of fall back on. 458 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:51,640 And not only is she going to be on her own, but she'll be 459 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:56,520 working nights and it's going to be hard. 460 00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:02,760 And she went to school. I I know thinking this is going 461 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,120 to be great, it's going to be great. 462 00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:08,840 And so far I will agree with her that it's been pretty good. 463 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,400 I hope that when she starts the night shift, she'll feel the 464 00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:19,800 same way. If our hope is in the things of 465 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:21,560 this world, we're going to be disappointed. 466 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,280 If our hope is in what's going to happen next, that we are 467 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:30,080 going to change something or change someone or change 468 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,520 ourselves into what we hope to be and that everything's going 469 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,760 to be great from then on. I got bad news for you. 470 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,680 Not going to happen. But when our hope is in the 471 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:47,800 Lord, all of those things that I described that fall short, He 472 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,160 can make them where they need to be. 473 00:53:50,160 --> 00:54:00,880 Let me give you a four example. Marriage is hard if our hope and 474 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:07,080 our trust is in the Lord. If our goal is to meet the needs 475 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,440 of our mate as God intends for us to. 476 00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,160 Marriage can be a beautiful thing. 477 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:17,080 But when we focus on self and what I want and what I deserve 478 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,560 and what I need, marriage is not going to be what you expect it 479 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,920 to be. God tells us and gives us in His 480 00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,520 word, how are we? How we are to live with our 481 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,680 mates. We are to sacrifice for one 482 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,280 another. We are to give of ourselves for 483 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,040 their betterment. He also says for us to do that 484 00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:41,280 for our fellow man. We love the Lord our God with 485 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,680 all our heart, soul, mind and strength. 486 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,600 And the second greatest commandments to love our 487 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,600 neighbor as ourself. There's always something to be 488 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:53,200 said for us. Looking past my wants, my needs, 489 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:58,720 my desires. Sometimes things happen within 490 00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:04,160 our lives and we think I'm never going to recover from this. 491 00:55:05,720 --> 00:55:09,360 Things are never going to be good again. 492 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,200 If your hope is in this world, you're right. 493 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,480 If your hope is in the Lord, that heart can be healed. 494 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:31,600 That worry, that constant buzzing in your ears. 495 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,080 So we were at a ball game the other night and they had these 496 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,200 little flying ants and they were just buzzing non-stop, non-stop. 497 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,480 And I was like, I can't take it anymore. 498 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,600 Sometimes the world has things just buzzing around us and 499 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:46,560 saying you're not good enough, you're not right, you've messed 500 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,600 up, you're no good. You are not what you're supposed 501 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,440 to be. And we got to block out all that 502 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,600 noise. And we go to God's word and God 503 00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:02,400 says to us, I love you. I gave my one and only son for 504 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:07,120 you. I desire a relationship with you 505 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,440 one-on-one, even though I am the Creator of the world. 506 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:17,200 God says I want to know you, I want to commune with you, and He 507 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:26,120 wants us to put our hope in Him first Peter chapter 5 and verse 508 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,160 6, chapter 5 and verse 6. This says this. 509 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:34,320 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He 510 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:39,640 may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, 511 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,440 because He cares for you. There are times in our lives 512 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,520 when it seems to get to the point that nobody cares, 513 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,840 nobody's concerned, nobody wants to help, nobody wants to do 514 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:57,040 anything to help me. And God says to you and me, when 515 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,000 that time comes, and every time that it comes, he says, cast all 516 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:06,160 your cares, all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you 517 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,280 always. Not part of the time, not some 518 00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:14,760 of the time, all the time. He offers us forgiveness from 519 00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,400 anything and everything because we have all sinned and fall 520 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,800 short of the glory of God. There is not a one of us who 521 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,840 doesn't need Christ as Savior. God provided the way. 522 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,160 God also provides the way each and every day for us to make it 523 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,160 through this life here on this earth. 524 00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:37,000 If we put our faith and our hope and our trust in Him and we wait 525 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:43,000 on the Lord. Psalm 27, verse 14, man, if we 526 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,120 could come in and we could say, you know what one of my favorite 527 00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:50,120 verses in all of God's word is, is Psalm 2714. 528 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:57,640 Wait on the Lord. We'd be an amazing group of 529 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,640 people.
