  • We need to start silencing some of the
  • 00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:03.515
  • Voices that we are surrounding ourselves
  • 00:00:03.515 --> 00:00:05.851
  • With and we need to lean into the wisdom of god.
  • 00:00:05.851 --> 00:00:10.355
  • Solomon says, above all else, get wisdom.
  • 00:00:10.355 --> 00:00:14.793
  • My prayer for us is that we would be a wise
  • 00:00:14.793 --> 00:00:19.164
  • Generation, discerning between evil and good,
  • 00:00:19.164 --> 00:00:22.367
  • Discerning between truth and lies coming into our
  • 00:00:22.367 --> 00:00:26.038
  • Spheres of influence and being able to reflect the
  • 00:00:26.038 --> 00:00:30.209
  • Wisdom of god.
  • 00:00:30.209 --> 00:00:32.411
  • Our world does not need more information.
  • 00:00:32.411 --> 00:00:34.947
  • It doesn't need more books, it doesn't need
  • 00:00:34.947 --> 00:00:36.582
  • More knowledge, it doesn't need more technology.
  • 00:00:36.582 --> 00:00:39.118
  • What we need above all else is wisdom.
  • 00:00:39.118 --> 00:00:42.454
  • Wisdom is the principle thing.
  • 00:00:42.454 --> 00:00:44.890
  • So i exhort you today in all you are getting,
  • 00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:48.026
  • Get wisdom.
  • 00:00:48.026 --> 00:00:50.896
  • Hi, my name is christine caine and i am just so
  • 00:00:50.896 --> 00:00:52.464
  • Grateful that you've joined me for today's
  • 00:00:52.464 --> 00:00:54.900
  • Episode of equip and empower.
  • 00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.069
  • Now, the truth is that our world is full of
  • 00:00:57.069 --> 00:00:59.605
  • Knowledge and information and technology and even
  • 00:00:59.605 --> 00:01:03.142
  • Lots of opinion, but i have to tell you, there
  • 00:01:03.142 --> 00:01:05.911
  • Seems to be a wisdom deficit everywhere we
  • 00:01:05.911 --> 00:01:09.148
  • Turn. you and i need wisdom to know what to do
  • 00:01:09.148 --> 00:01:13.452
  • And how to do it and when to do it so that we can
  • 00:01:13.452 --> 00:01:16.655
  • Live the lives that god has called us to live.
  • 00:01:16.655 --> 00:01:19.591
  • Now, i'm believing that today we'll ignite within
  • 00:01:19.591 --> 00:01:22.060
  • You a passion to seek out wisdom, which solomon
  • 00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:25.797
  • Tells us is the supreme thing.
  • 00:01:25.797 --> 00:01:28.267
  • Let's dive right in.
  • 00:01:28.267 --> 00:01:30.269
  • ♪♪
  • 00:01:30.269 --> 00:01:46.118
  • Hey everyone, i am so grateful that you've
  • 00:01:46.118 --> 00:01:48.053
  • Tuned in today.
  • 00:01:48.053 --> 00:01:49.454
  • I know that god has a word for you.
  • 00:01:49.454 --> 00:01:51.757
  • Listen, this is the final episode in our epic
  • 00:01:51.757 --> 00:01:56.628
  • Series on wisdom.
  • 00:01:56.628 --> 00:01:58.497
  • So if you've missed the shows before this, make
  • 00:01:58.497 --> 00:02:01.300
  • Sure that you go back and watch them.
  • 00:02:01.300 --> 00:02:03.602
  • And if this is your first time you've joined us, i
  • 00:02:03.602 --> 00:02:05.337
  • Am so glad because you have picked the best week
  • 00:02:05.337 --> 00:02:07.806
  • To join us.
  • 00:02:07.806 --> 00:02:08.840
  • We're wrapping up our series.
  • 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.143
  • I've loved every second of this series.
  • 00:02:11.143 --> 00:02:13.879
  • Over the past 10, 11 weeks, we've unpacked the
  • 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:18.283
  • Path to wisdom, the perspective of wisdom,
  • 00:02:18.283 --> 00:02:21.753
  • The pursuit of wisdom, the practice of wisdom,
  • 00:02:21.753 --> 00:02:24.523
  • The paradox of wisdom, the people of wisdom.
  • 00:02:24.523 --> 00:02:28.427
  • And today in an effort to wrap up what actually is
  • 00:02:28.427 --> 00:02:31.230
  • Really impossible to wrap up because there's no end
  • 00:02:31.230 --> 00:02:34.299
  • To the getting of wisdom.
  • 00:02:34.299 --> 00:02:35.467
  • We've established that we're going to look at
  • 00:02:35.467 --> 00:02:37.169
  • Psalm 34, which highlights a pattern of
  • 00:02:37.169 --> 00:02:40.606
  • Wisdom that we can apply for the rest of our lives.
  • 00:02:40.606 --> 00:02:44.042
  • Now, psalm 34, it's one of the psalms that has a
  • 00:02:44.042 --> 00:02:46.078
  • Very short introduction or what's called a
  • 00:02:46.078 --> 00:02:50.015
  • Superscription that sets the words of this psalm
  • 00:02:50.015 --> 00:02:52.517
  • In context.
  • 00:02:52.517 --> 00:02:54.019
  • So we read in the introduction concerning
  • 00:02:54.019 --> 00:02:55.954
  • David when he pretended to be insane.
  • 00:02:55.954 --> 00:02:59.992
  • Listen, let's just stop there.
  • 00:02:59.992 --> 00:03:01.560
  • I love that.
  • 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.028
  • Did you know this stuff is in the bible?
  • 00:03:03.028 --> 00:03:04.763
  • I mean, this is concerning david.
  • 00:03:04.763 --> 00:03:06.565
  • This is better than any novel man when he
  • 00:03:06.565 --> 00:03:08.767
  • Pretended to be insane in the presence of abimelech
  • 00:03:08.767 --> 00:03:12.037
  • Who drove him out and he departed.
  • 00:03:12.037 --> 00:03:14.606
  • Now this is probably a reference to an incident
  • 00:03:14.606 --> 00:03:18.844
  • That's described in one samuel chapter 21, and
  • 00:03:18.844 --> 00:03:21.913
  • For the next few minutes, let me just give you a
  • 00:03:21.913 --> 00:03:23.482
  • Brief 35,000 feet overview of the whirlwind
  • 00:03:23.482 --> 00:03:27.953
  • That led to david writing this song because
  • 00:03:27.953 --> 00:03:30.222
  • Sometimes you can just jump into a song and go,
  • 00:03:30.222 --> 00:03:31.790
  • I dunno what they're talking about.
  • 00:03:31.790 --> 00:03:33.292
  • This doesn't make sense.
  • 00:03:33.292 --> 00:03:34.693
  • So i'm just going to give you a 35,000 seat view.
  • 00:03:34.693 --> 00:03:38.797
  • But listen, you're going to have to make sure that
  • 00:03:38.797 --> 00:03:40.799
  • Your seatback and your tray tables are placed in
  • 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:43.001
  • Their upright and locked position because trust
  • 00:03:43.001 --> 00:03:45.504
  • Me, you are in for the ride of your life.
  • 00:03:45.504 --> 00:03:48.040
  • In first samuel chapter 16, david was the
  • 00:03:48.040 --> 00:03:51.610
  • Shepherd boy and he was anointed by the prophet
  • 00:03:51.610 --> 00:03:54.813
  • Samuel to be the next king of israel.
  • 00:03:54.813 --> 00:03:57.215
  • Now, the only problem was that there was a king
  • 00:03:57.215 --> 00:04:00.485
  • Named saul who was still occupying the hot seat
  • 00:04:00.485 --> 00:04:03.789
  • Of the throne.
  • 00:04:03.789 --> 00:04:04.790
  • So in one samuel 17, david took down the
  • 00:04:04.790 --> 00:04:08.393
  • Philistine giant goliath with a slingshot.
  • 00:04:08.393 --> 00:04:11.029
  • Remember that? with a slingshot while
  • 00:04:11.029 --> 00:04:12.431
  • Delivering lunch to his brothers on
  • 00:04:12.431 --> 00:04:13.899
  • The battlefield.
  • 00:04:13.899 --> 00:04:14.933
  • Now because of this, in one samuel 18, saul
  • 00:04:14.933 --> 00:04:18.470
  • Appointed david to be in charge of his armies.
  • 00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:22.040
  • Now, david is so successful in his new
  • 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.310
  • Role as the leader of saul's armies that when
  • 00:04:25.310 --> 00:04:27.446
  • He to jerusalem, the people were singing, saul
  • 00:04:27.446 --> 00:04:30.282
  • Has killed his thousands and david has killed his
  • 00:04:30.282 --> 00:04:34.653
  • Tens of thousands.
  • 00:04:34.653 --> 00:04:36.722
  • Now, let's just say that saul's fragile ego was so
  • 00:04:36.722 --> 00:04:41.960
  • Bruised by these lyrics that he became committed
  • 00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:45.030
  • To wiping out his potential successor.
  • 00:04:45.030 --> 00:04:48.800
  • I mean, saul literally went on a rampage to have
  • 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.670
  • David killed or to kill him himself.
  • 00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:55.407
  • So david was forced to flee for his life and the
  • 00:04:55.407 --> 00:04:58.543
  • Very first place he went to was a place
  • 00:04:58.543 --> 00:05:01.279
  • Called gibeon.
  • 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:02.547
  • Then he went to the prophet samuel and they
  • 00:05:02.547 --> 00:05:05.751
  • Stayed at naioth in rama, but soon saul looked for
  • 00:05:05.751 --> 00:05:09.154
  • Him there.
  • 00:05:09.154 --> 00:05:10.655
  • So david raced back to his best friend jonathan
  • 00:05:10.655 --> 00:05:13.158
  • In gibeon who also happened to be
  • 00:05:13.158 --> 00:05:14.760
  • Saul's son.
  • 00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:16.027
  • I hope you're tracking with me now, i'm sure
  • 00:05:16.027 --> 00:05:17.629
  • You're wondering, could this get any
  • 00:05:17.629 --> 00:05:20.632
  • More complicated?
  • 00:05:20.632 --> 00:05:22.033
  • The answer is yes.
  • 00:05:22.033 --> 00:05:23.135
  • Yes it does, because when jonathan warned his best
  • 00:05:23.135 --> 00:05:25.237
  • Friend of saul's determination to kill
  • 00:05:25.237 --> 00:05:27.539
  • Him, david then fled to ahimelek the priest at nob
  • 00:05:27.539 --> 00:05:32.611
  • Where he collected food and he took
  • 00:05:32.611 --> 00:05:34.880
  • Goliath's sword.
  • 00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:36.314
  • So believe it or not, david then went to the
  • 00:05:36.314 --> 00:05:38.417
  • City of gath, which is where goliath was from,
  • 00:05:38.417 --> 00:05:41.153
  • And he, he's probably thinking saul would not
  • 00:05:41.153 --> 00:05:43.255
  • Follow me into philistine territory and that he
  • 00:05:43.255 --> 00:05:47.492
  • Would be safe there.
  • 00:05:47.492 --> 00:05:48.960
  • Now, i got to ask you, i don't know what david
  • 00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:51.530
  • Was thinking.
  • 00:05:51.530 --> 00:05:52.597
  • I mean, did he think he was going to be
  • 00:05:52.597 --> 00:05:53.832
  • Inconspicuous walking through gath and just
  • 00:05:53.832 --> 00:05:57.302
  • Walking around the city with a sword of a nine
  • 00:05:57.302 --> 00:05:59.004
  • Foot giant that he had killed?
  • 00:05:59.004 --> 00:06:01.039
  • Did he not think that anybody was going to
  • 00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:02.908
  • Notice that the sword was probably as big as he was?
  • 00:06:02.908 --> 00:06:07.479
  • I mean, he was a little runt at the time and
  • 00:06:07.479 --> 00:06:10.048
  • Wouldn't they want to attack him because he's
  • 00:06:10.048 --> 00:06:11.583
  • The guy that took down their beloved champion.
  • 00:06:11.583 --> 00:06:14.019
  • Anyway, that's a rabbit trail, but that's how my
  • 00:06:14.019 --> 00:06:16.521
  • Brain thinks when i'm reading this.
  • 00:06:16.521 --> 00:06:18.490
  • So the king servants did in fact recognize david
  • 00:06:18.490 --> 00:06:22.194
  • As the dude that everybody had been
  • 00:06:22.194 --> 00:06:23.829
  • Singing about during the dances.
  • 00:06:23.829 --> 00:06:26.498
  • So now with his cover blown, david was so
  • 00:06:26.498 --> 00:06:28.733
  • Afraid of king achish that he pretended to be insane
  • 00:06:28.733 --> 00:06:33.672
  • Walking around and scratching on the door
  • 00:06:33.672 --> 00:06:36.508
  • And letting saliva run down his beard.
  • 00:06:36.508 --> 00:06:38.710
  • I did for a moment think that i might reenact this
  • 00:06:38.710 --> 00:06:41.379
  • For this show, but i thought you might
  • 00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:43.415
  • Freak out.
  • 00:06:43.415 --> 00:06:44.449
  • So i didn't do that, but i told you this was
  • 00:06:44.449 --> 00:06:46.218
  • A wild story.
  • 00:06:46.218 --> 00:06:47.586
  • You cannot make this stuff up.
  • 00:06:47.586 --> 00:06:50.455
  • So david narrowly escapes with his life.
  • 00:06:50.455 --> 00:06:53.191
  • He leaves gath and that my friends, is how he
  • 00:06:53.191 --> 00:06:57.562
  • Ends up in the cave of adullam which is where he
  • 00:06:57.562 --> 00:07:02.234
  • Writes psalm 34.
  • 00:07:02.234 --> 00:07:04.402
  • So i'm about to pick it up.
  • 00:07:04.402 --> 00:07:06.505
  • I just want you to know this is where david had
  • 00:07:06.505 --> 00:07:08.139
  • Lost everything.
  • 00:07:08.139 --> 00:07:09.541
  • He's still a fugitive. saul still wants to
  • 00:07:09.541 --> 00:07:12.043
  • Kill him, and as if that is not enough, we read in
  • 00:07:12.043 --> 00:07:16.715
  • One samuel 22:2 in addition, every man who
  • 00:07:16.715 --> 00:07:22.020
  • Was desperate, in debt, or discontented rallied around him
  • 00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:29.194
  • And he became their leader, about 400 men were with him.
  • 00:07:29.194 --> 00:07:34.199
  • I mean, i don't know if that's what you call a
  • 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.504
  • Stellar kind of army.
  • 00:07:39.504 --> 00:07:41.540
  • You got an idea now of how dire david's
  • 00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:43.675
  • Circumstances really were.
  • 00:07:43.675 --> 00:07:45.610
  • He was in the middle of great trauma.
  • 00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:48.113
  • He must have had extreme anxiety.
  • 00:07:48.113 --> 00:07:50.482
  • I mean, he would've been totally exhausted and he
  • 00:07:50.482 --> 00:07:53.418
  • Would've wondered where on earth was god in all
  • 00:07:53.418 --> 00:07:57.022
  • Of this undeserved chaos.
  • 00:07:57.022 --> 00:07:59.324
  • So with that brief overview of events, i now
  • 00:07:59.324 --> 00:08:02.894
  • Welcome you to psalm 34.
  • 00:08:02.894 --> 00:08:05.864
  • This is the word of the lord.
  • 00:08:05.864 --> 00:08:07.699
  • I will bless the lord at all times.
  • 00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:09.734
  • His praise will always be on my lips.
  • 00:08:09.734 --> 00:08:11.836
  • I will boast in the lord.
  • 00:08:11.836 --> 00:08:13.939
  • The humble will hear and be glad. proclaim the
  • 00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:15.540
  • Lord's greatness with me.
  • 00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.075
  • Let us exalt his name.
  • 00:08:17.075 --> 00:08:18.643
  • Together i sought the lord and he answered me
  • 00:08:18.643 --> 00:08:21.580
  • And he rescued me from all my fears.
  • 00:08:21.580 --> 00:08:26.217
  • Now, if you love elevation worship like i
  • 00:08:26.217 --> 00:08:27.686
  • Do, i'm sure that in your mind you've just started
  • 00:08:27.686 --> 00:08:30.021
  • Singing, oh, i wish i could be a singer, but
  • 00:08:30.021 --> 00:08:32.991
  • That line, i sought the lord and he heard and he
  • 00:08:32.991 --> 00:08:36.494
  • Answered, taken right here from psalm 34, those
  • 00:08:36.494 --> 00:08:38.997
  • Who looked at him are radiant with joy.
  • 00:08:38.997 --> 00:08:40.865
  • Their faces will never be ashamed.
  • 00:08:40.865 --> 00:08:42.801
  • This poor man cried and the lord heard him and
  • 00:08:42.801 --> 00:08:45.036
  • Saved him from all his troubles.
  • 00:08:45.036 --> 00:08:47.172
  • The angel of the lord eat camps around those who
  • 00:08:47.172 --> 00:08:49.107
  • Fear him and rescues them, taste and see that
  • 00:08:49.107 --> 00:08:54.446
  • The lord is good.
  • 00:08:54.446 --> 00:08:56.748
  • How happy is the person who takes refuge in him.
  • 00:08:56.748 --> 00:08:58.850
  • You who are his holy ones, fear the lord.
  • 00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:01.319
  • For those who fear him lack nothing.
  • 00:09:01.319 --> 00:09:03.655
  • Young lions lack food and go hungry, but those who
  • 00:09:03.655 --> 00:09:06.491
  • Seek the lord will not lack any good thing.
  • 00:09:06.491 --> 00:09:09.828
  • Come children, listen to me.
  • 00:09:09.828 --> 00:09:12.130

  • 00:09:12.130 --> 00:09:15.033
  • Someone who desires life loving a long life to
  • 00:09:15.033 --> 00:09:17.502
  • Enjoy what is good?
  • 00:09:17.502 --> 00:09:19.170
  • Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from
  • 00:09:19.170 --> 00:09:21.339
  • Deceitful speech.
  • 00:09:21.339 --> 00:09:22.841
  • Turn away from evil and do what is good, seek
  • 00:09:22.841 --> 00:09:25.877
  • Peace and pursue it.
  • 00:09:25.877 --> 00:09:27.579
  • The eyes of the lord are on the righteous and his
  • 00:09:27.579 --> 00:09:30.281
  • Ears are open to their cry for help.
  • 00:09:30.281 --> 00:09:32.684
  • The face of the lord is set against those who do
  • 00:09:32.684 --> 00:09:35.086
  • What is evil to remove all memory of them
  • 00:09:35.086 --> 00:09:37.656
  • From the earth.
  • 00:09:37.656 --> 00:09:39.124
  • The righteous cry out and the lord hears and
  • 00:09:39.124 --> 00:09:41.493
  • Rescues them from all their troubles.
  • 00:09:41.493 --> 00:09:43.328
  • The lord is near the brokenhearted.
  • 00:09:43.328 --> 00:09:45.397
  • He saves those crushed in spirit, one who is
  • 00:09:45.397 --> 00:09:47.399
  • Righteous as many adversities, but the
  • 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.402
  • Lord rescues him from them all.
  • 00:09:50.402 --> 00:09:53.171
  • He protects all his bones, not one of them
  • 00:09:53.171 --> 00:09:55.607
  • Is broken.
  • 00:09:55.607 --> 00:09:56.775
  • Evil brings death to the wicked and those who hate
  • 00:09:56.775 --> 00:09:58.543
  • The righteous will be punished.
  • 00:09:58.543 --> 00:10:00.679
  • The lord redeems the life of his servants, and all
  • 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.648
  • Who take refuge in him will not be punished.
  • 00:10:03.648 --> 00:10:07.285
  • Knowing the context of this psalm, and that's
  • 00:10:07.285 --> 00:10:11.056
  • Why it took so much time to give it to you,
  • 00:10:11.056 --> 00:10:12.891
  • It certainly sheds a different light on this
  • 00:10:12.891 --> 00:10:15.293
  • Poem, doesn't it?
  • 00:10:15.293 --> 00:10:16.594
  • It is almost inconceivable that david
  • 00:10:16.594 --> 00:10:19.097
  • Would begin with the declaration that he will
  • 00:10:19.097 --> 00:10:21.332
  • Bless the lord at all times when he was in such
  • 00:10:21.332 --> 00:10:24.035
  • A dark and lonely season in his life.
  • 00:10:24.035 --> 00:10:27.672
  • It would be so easy to write those words if you
  • 00:10:27.672 --> 00:10:30.208
  • Were sitting on a yacht watching the sunset off
  • 00:10:30.208 --> 00:10:33.344
  • The greek island of santorini.
  • 00:10:33.344 --> 00:10:35.480
  • But it's not so easy to write that when you are
  • 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.682
  • Literally on the run for your life.
  • 00:10:37.682 --> 00:10:40.852
  • But in the first three verses, we see david's
  • 00:10:40.852 --> 00:10:42.921
  • Determination to worship the lord no matter what
  • 00:10:42.921 --> 00:10:45.457
  • His circumstances may be.
  • 00:10:45.457 --> 00:10:47.058
  • He states that he will worship him at all times.
  • 00:10:47.058 --> 00:10:49.894
  • His praises will always be on his lips and he
  • 00:10:49.894 --> 00:10:53.665
  • Exalts all of the people with him in the cave to
  • 00:10:53.665 --> 00:10:56.167
  • Exalt god's name together.
  • 00:10:56.167 --> 00:10:58.403
  • David shows us that the decision to worship god
  • 00:10:58.403 --> 00:11:01.973
  • In times of adversity, it's a choice.
  • 00:11:01.973 --> 00:11:04.943
  • The truth is that every single one of us will
  • 00:11:04.943 --> 00:11:07.078
  • Face challenges.
  • 00:11:07.078 --> 00:11:08.847
  • It's just life.
  • 00:11:08.847 --> 00:11:10.248
  • We're going to face disappointments,
  • 00:11:10.248 --> 00:11:11.850
  • Betrayals, pain and hardship in our lives.
  • 00:11:11.850 --> 00:11:15.453
  • We live in a fallen world.
  • 00:11:15.453 --> 00:11:17.455
  • Bad things do happen to good people. evil people
  • 00:11:17.455 --> 00:11:19.958
  • Do seem to prosper and for a season,
  • 00:11:19.958 --> 00:11:22.127
  • And you know what?
  • 00:11:22.127 --> 00:11:23.862
  • We have a very real enemy and he only wants to do
  • 00:11:23.862 --> 00:11:26.131
  • One thing.
  • 00:11:26.131 --> 00:11:27.265
  • He wants to steal, kill, and destroy our lives
  • 00:11:27.265 --> 00:11:29.167
  • And our purpose.
  • 00:11:29.167 --> 00:11:30.468
  • So knowing this reality, we get to make a choice
  • 00:11:30.468 --> 00:11:33.204
  • About how we will respond to
  • 00:11:33.204 --> 00:11:35.140
  • Challenging circumstances.
  • 00:11:35.140 --> 00:11:36.775
  • And the wise thing to do is to choose to magnify god.
  • 00:11:36.775 --> 00:11:39.911

  • It's not just checking the boxes of normal
  • 00:15:08.886 --> 00:15:11.356
  • Religious activity like go to church or skimming
  • 00:15:11.356 --> 00:15:14.692

  • 00:15:14.692 --> 00:15:18.596
  • Ourselves onto him.
  • 00:15:18.596 --> 00:15:21.232

  • It's desperate.
  • 00:15:30.174 --> 00:15:33.044
  • Other people might not understand, but god does.
  • 00:15:31.409 --> 00:15:35.480
  • I always laugh.
  • 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:36.848

  • Again and again and again and again.
  • 00:15:46.657 --> 00:15:50.328

  • To work things out in his own strength and his own
  • 00:15:53.698 --> 00:15:56.734

  • Help that he needed.
  • 00:16:00.571 --> 00:16:02.106

  • Don't run from god, run to him.

  • Do you go to god or do you run to other people
  • 00:16:13.718 --> 00:16:16.754
  • For their opinions?
  • 00:16:16.754 --> 00:16:18.089
  • Do you run to a bottle?
  • 00:16:18.089 --> 00:16:20.324
  • Do you run to a pill?
  • 00:16:20.324 --> 00:16:22.126
  • Do you run to binge watch on netflix or some
  • 00:16:22.126 --> 00:16:26.130
  • Other app?
  • 00:16:26.130 --> 00:16:27.565
  • Do you rely on your own wisdom to work it out?
  • 00:16:27.565 --> 00:16:30.802
  • In our day and age, it's so easy to ask siri or
  • 00:16:30.802 --> 00:16:36.874
  • Chat gpt or alexa, what do they think about
  • 00:16:36.874 --> 00:16:41.879
  • An issue?
  • 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:43.514
  • I mean literally, i'm not saying there's not a time
  • 00:16:43.514 --> 00:16:46.050
  • Or a place to utilize some of these tools, but
  • 00:16:46.050 --> 00:16:48.386
  • It's important to remember that we actually
  • 00:16:48.386 --> 00:16:51.823
  • Have access to the creator of the universe.
  • 00:16:51.823 --> 00:16:55.993
  • That's what i want to remind you about and that
  • 00:16:55.993 --> 00:16:58.396
  • We should go to god before we go to anything
  • 00:16:58.396 --> 00:17:03.134
  • Or anyone else first.
  • 00:17:03.134 --> 00:17:06.070
  • I think truly that we would make much wiser
  • 00:17:06.070 --> 00:17:09.941
  • Decisions in our life if we decided to seek the
  • 00:17:09.941 --> 00:17:12.877
  • Lord first and to wait for his answer before we
  • 00:17:12.877 --> 00:17:16.414
  • Took any action.
  • 00:17:16.414 --> 00:17:18.783
  • How many times have we entered into a
  • 00:17:18.783 --> 00:17:21.919
  • Relationship or left a job or changed churches
  • 00:17:21.919 --> 00:17:26.224
  • Or chosen a college or walked out of a
  • 00:17:26.224 --> 00:17:29.327
  • Friendship or made an investment without
  • 00:17:29.327 --> 00:17:33.331
  • Actually even seeking the lord for his counsel, only
  • 00:17:33.331 --> 00:17:36.934
  • To discover that we were acting impulsively or
  • 00:17:36.934 --> 00:17:39.770
  • Perhaps even unwisely and then we had to deal with
  • 00:17:39.770 --> 00:17:44.675
  • The consequences of our actions?
  • 00:17:44.675 --> 00:17:47.178
  • So when developing a pattern of wisdom in our
  • 00:17:47.178 --> 00:17:50.481
  • Lives, it's so important to cultivate the practice
  • 00:17:50.481 --> 00:17:53.918
  • Of seeking the lord.
  • 00:17:53.918 --> 00:17:56.220
  • David said, i sought the lord. and waiting for his
  • 00:17:56.220 --> 00:18:00.258
  • Answer before making any great big decisions
  • 00:18:00.258 --> 00:18:03.494
  • In life.
  • 00:18:03.494 --> 00:18:04.862
  • Don't run ahead of god, wait and be patient.
  • 00:18:04.862 --> 00:18:07.465
  • I especially love that david said this poor man
  • 00:18:07.465 --> 00:18:10.835
  • Cried and the lord heard him and saved him from
  • 00:18:10.835 --> 00:18:14.805
  • All his trouble.
  • 00:18:14.805 --> 00:18:16.641
  • It shows me that i can go to god in my most pitiful
  • 00:18:16.641 --> 00:18:18.976
  • State and god will still hear me.
  • 00:18:18.976 --> 00:18:22.780
  • We don't need to put on a mask to go to god.
  • 00:18:22.780 --> 00:18:24.982
  • We don't have to have it all together.
  • 00:18:24.982 --> 00:18:26.884
  • We don't have to be on our best behavior.
  • 00:18:26.884 --> 00:18:28.786
  • We can go to god as we are and throw ourselves
  • 00:18:28.786 --> 00:18:32.490
  • At the feet of jesus and we can seek him.
  • 00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:35.193
  • Listen, so often we run from god instead of
  • 00:18:35.193 --> 00:18:37.495
  • Running to him because we think we've got to clean
  • 00:18:37.495 --> 00:18:40.264
  • Ourselves up before we go to him.
  • 00:18:40.264 --> 00:18:42.667
  • But i want to remind you today that you can come
  • 00:18:42.667 --> 00:18:45.603
  • To jesus just as you are.
  • 00:18:45.603 --> 00:18:48.039
  • You can call out to him right where you are.
  • 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:50.575
  • He knows you.
  • 00:18:50.575 --> 00:18:52.343
  • He sees you, he hears you and he loves you.
  • 00:18:52.343 --> 00:18:56.180
  • David goes on to say in verse 19, that one who is
  • 00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:58.749
  • Righteous has many adversities, but the lord
  • 00:18:58.749 --> 00:19:01.519
  • Rescues him from them all.
  • 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.955
  • Listen, to be honest with you, i really wish that
  • 00:19:03.955 --> 00:19:06.557
  • This verse was not in this psalm.
  • 00:19:06.557 --> 00:19:09.660
  • I wish that david had just said life for the
  • 00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:12.697
  • Righteous would be full of ease.
  • 00:19:12.697 --> 00:19:14.966
  • It would be comfortable, it would be pleasurable
  • 00:19:14.966 --> 00:19:17.435
  • And a whole lot of fun.
  • 00:19:17.435 --> 00:19:18.936
  • But he didn't say that and neither did jesus,
  • 00:19:18.936 --> 00:19:21.439
  • Nor did any other writer of the sacred text.
  • 00:19:21.439 --> 00:19:26.010
  • To develop a pattern of wisdom means that we have
  • 00:19:26.010 --> 00:19:28.980
  • To learn to trust the lord in the midst of
  • 00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:31.749
  • Adversity, knowing that the righteous judge will
  • 00:19:31.749 --> 00:19:35.853
  • Protect us and bring us through whatever he does
  • 00:19:35.853 --> 00:19:38.823
  • Not deliver us from.
  • 00:19:38.823 --> 00:19:40.524
  • I want you to catch that god will bring you
  • 00:19:40.524 --> 00:19:42.827
  • Through what he has not delivered you from
  • 00:19:42.827 --> 00:19:44.629
  • Most of us.
  • 00:19:44.629 --> 00:19:46.130
  • We just want to be delivered from
  • 00:19:46.130 --> 00:19:47.498
  • A situation.
  • 00:19:47.498 --> 00:19:48.699
  • Listen, i do too, but i have found in my life god
  • 00:19:48.699 --> 00:19:51.736
  • Normally brings me through rather than
  • 00:19:51.736 --> 00:19:53.504
  • Delivering me from. we have to learn to rest in
  • 00:19:53.504 --> 00:19:56.807
  • The goodness of god and to trust in the
  • 00:19:56.807 --> 00:19:59.110
  • Faithfulness of god.
  • 00:19:59.110 --> 00:20:00.978
  • It's an easy thing for me to say, but i know it's
  • 00:20:00.978 --> 00:20:03.381
  • Not necessarily an easy thing to do, but i want
  • 00:20:03.381 --> 00:20:06.017
  • To encourage you today to hang in there, to not
  • 00:20:06.017 --> 00:20:08.219
  • Give up and to trust that your god is working
  • 00:20:08.219 --> 00:20:10.921
  • For you.
  • 00:20:10.921 --> 00:20:12.456
  • You see, we see in this psalm that david chose
  • 00:20:12.456 --> 00:20:14.525
  • Not to defend himself, but instead he chose to
  • 00:20:14.525 --> 00:20:16.827
  • Let god defend him.
  • 00:20:16.827 --> 00:20:18.763
  • He understood the powerful truth that when
  • 00:20:18.763 --> 00:20:20.398
  • His enemies pursued him, god pursued his enemies.
  • 00:20:20.398 --> 00:20:24.335
  • I want you to know today that in the same way it
  • 00:20:24.335 --> 00:20:27.471
  • Is god who defends our hearts and it's god that
  • 00:20:27.471 --> 00:20:30.141
  • Defends our lives.
  • 00:20:30.141 --> 00:20:31.876
  • Have you noticed how exhausting it is to
  • 00:20:31.876 --> 00:20:34.245
  • Constantly try to defend yourself, especially in
  • 00:20:34.245 --> 00:20:37.748
  • Today's cancel culture. when we know that nothing
  • 00:20:37.748 --> 00:20:40.751
  • Escapes god and that actually god is the final
  • 00:20:40.751 --> 00:20:43.821
  • Judge, the pressure is literally off us to try
  • 00:20:43.821 --> 00:20:47.491
  • To constantly vindicate ourselves or even to take
  • 00:20:47.491 --> 00:20:50.461
  • Revenge. in order to walk in peace and joy,
  • 00:20:50.461 --> 00:20:55.633
  • We've got to trust that god is defending us, that
  • 00:20:55.633 --> 00:20:59.170
  • He goes before us and he is our regard and he is
  • 00:20:59.170 --> 00:21:03.007
  • Surrounding us at every level.
  • 00:21:03.007 --> 00:21:06.677
  • So how do we run our race in order to finish in a
  • 00:21:06.677 --> 00:21:09.180
  • Way that ensures we serve god's purpose
  • 00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:12.516
  • In our generation?
  • 00:21:12.516 --> 00:21:13.551
  • Well, we do that by doing what david did, by
  • 00:21:13.551 --> 00:21:15.252
  • Worshiping god, by seeking god, by fearing
  • 00:21:15.252 --> 00:21:18.889
  • God, and by trusting god.
  • 00:21:18.889 --> 00:21:21.492
  • When do we do it?
  • 00:21:21.492 --> 00:21:22.560
  • Well, we do it over and over and over again.
  • 00:21:22.560 --> 00:21:25.329
  • Well, how often, christine?
  • 00:21:25.329 --> 00:21:26.497
  • Well, minute by minute and hour by hour and day
  • 00:21:26.497 --> 00:21:30.601
  • By day and week by week. you don't arrive.
  • 00:21:30.601 --> 00:21:33.404
  • Are you getting this?
  • 00:21:33.404 --> 00:21:34.538
  • We do it month by month.
  • 00:21:34.538 --> 00:21:35.373
  • We do it year by year.
  • 00:21:35.373 --> 00:21:36.841
  • We do a decision by decision until by the
  • 00:21:36.841 --> 00:21:39.510
  • Grace of god, we cross that line and we hear,
  • 00:21:39.510 --> 00:21:42.513
  • Well done.
  • 00:21:42.513 --> 00:21:43.748
  • So let's determine to be people who seek out the
  • 00:21:43.748 --> 00:21:46.684
  • Wisdom of god. the wisdom of man and the
  • 00:21:46.684 --> 00:21:49.620
  • Wisdom of god,
  • 00:21:49.620 --> 00:21:50.621
  • They're not one in the same.
  • 00:21:50.621 --> 00:21:52.223
  • I hope i've gotten that through to you
  • 00:21:52.223 --> 00:21:54.158
  • In this series.
  • 00:21:54.158 --> 00:21:55.126
  • The wisdom of man and the wisdom of god are
  • 00:21:55.126 --> 00:21:56.660
  • Not the same.
  • 00:21:56.660 --> 00:21:57.461
  • They never have been.
  • 00:21:57.461 --> 00:21:58.696
  • They never will be.
  • 00:21:58.696 --> 00:22:00.531
  • The wisdom of this world is about what works in
  • 00:22:00.531 --> 00:22:04.135
  • This world here and now.
  • 00:22:04.135 --> 00:22:06.737
  • It's about what works for an advantage here and now.
  • 00:22:06.737 --> 00:22:09.473
  • It's about what works to minimize adversity and
  • 00:22:09.473 --> 00:22:12.042
  • Maximize our comfort and pleasure and ease
  • 00:22:12.042 --> 00:22:14.912
  • Here and now.
  • 00:22:14.912 --> 00:22:16.414
  • So if we live our eyes fixed on this world, we
  • 00:22:16.414 --> 00:22:18.816
  • Will never trust in the wisdom of god because we
  • 00:22:18.816 --> 00:22:21.619
  • Believe doing what he says will result in loss
  • 00:22:21.619 --> 00:22:25.322
  • And not in getting ahead.
  • 00:22:25.322 --> 00:22:28.392
  • You got to understand the wisdom of this world is
  • 00:22:28.392 --> 00:22:31.662
  • Very different to the wisdom of god.
  • 00:22:31.662 --> 00:22:33.130
  • But if we live our lives fixed on jesus and our
  • 00:22:33.130 --> 00:22:36.133
  • Hearts set on eternity, if we live our lives with
  • 00:22:36.133 --> 00:22:40.571
  • Our ears open to him and our hearts burning for
  • 00:22:40.571 --> 00:22:43.407
  • Him, we will pursue him.
  • 00:22:43.407 --> 00:22:46.677
  • We're going to prize his wisdom.
  • 00:22:46.677 --> 00:22:48.579
  • We're going to live with his wisdom and we're
  • 00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:51.215
  • Going to live for his praise and his glory and
  • 00:22:51.215 --> 00:22:54.251
  • Our joy and our good for all of eternity.
  • 00:22:54.251 --> 00:22:59.957
  • So i think of all of the things on the earth
  • 00:22:59.957 --> 00:23:02.326
  • In this hour.
  • 00:23:02.326 --> 00:23:04.395
  • I think what the body of christ, what we need
  • 00:23:04.395 --> 00:23:06.564
  • Above everything else is wisdom and discernment.
  • 00:23:06.564 --> 00:23:10.501
  • We need the wisdom of god.
  • 00:23:10.501 --> 00:23:12.436
  • We need to understand that the fear of the lord
  • 00:23:12.436 --> 00:23:15.072
  • Is the beginning of wisdom,
  • 00:23:15.072 --> 00:23:16.474
  • That wisdom resides with god.
  • 00:23:16.474 --> 00:23:18.843
  • God himself is wisdom and we need to go to the
  • 00:23:18.843 --> 00:23:22.746
  • Word of god.
  • 00:23:22.746 --> 00:23:23.948
  • We need to be intimate in intimate relationship
  • 00:23:23.948 --> 00:23:26.417
  • With god himself.
  • 00:23:26.417 --> 00:23:28.118
  • We need to start silencing some of the
  • 00:23:28.118 --> 00:23:30.454
  • Voices that we are surrounding ourselves
  • 00:23:30.454 --> 00:23:32.857
  • With and we need to lean into the wisdom of god.
  • 00:23:32.857 --> 00:23:38.229
  • Solomon says above all else, get wisdom.
  • 00:23:38.229 --> 00:23:41.065
  • My prayer for us is that we would be a wise
  • 00:23:41.065 --> 00:23:46.203
  • Generation discerning between evil and good,
  • 00:23:46.203 --> 00:23:49.707
  • Discerning between truth and lies coming into our
  • 00:23:49.707 --> 00:23:52.977
  • Spheres of influence and being able to reflect the
  • 00:23:52.977 --> 00:23:57.081
  • Wisdom of god.
  • 00:23:57.081 --> 00:23:59.083
  • Our world does not need more information.
  • 00:23:59.083 --> 00:24:01.418
  • It doesn't need more books.
  • 00:24:01.418 --> 00:24:02.453
  • It doesn't need more knowledge.
  • 00:24:02.453 --> 00:24:03.787
  • It doesn't need more technology.
  • 00:24:03.787 --> 00:24:06.056
  • What we need above all else is wisdom.
  • 00:24:06.056 --> 00:24:09.260
  • Wisdom is the principle thing.
  • 00:24:09.260 --> 00:24:11.862
  • So i exhort you today, in all you are getting,
  • 00:24:11.862 --> 00:24:14.999
  • Get wisdom in jesus' name.
  • 00:24:14.999 --> 00:24:20.771
