00:04:29.289 --> 00:04:31.391
To sing with our team. [applause]
00:04:31.457 --> 00:04:39.065
[applause] the song that we just
00:04:39.132 --> 00:04:39.899
The song that we just put out called
00:04:39.966 --> 00:04:40.733
Put out called "trust in god,"
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.535
"trust in god," was a song that
00:04:42.602 --> 00:04:43.703
Was a song that came quickly
00:04:43.770 --> 00:04:44.737
Came quickly and then slowly.
00:04:44.804 --> 00:04:46.639
And then slowly. quickly in the initial draft,
00:04:46.706 --> 00:04:48.508
Quickly in the initial draft, slowly in the revisions.
00:04:48.574 --> 00:04:50.877
Slowly in the revisions. but to hear you sing it,
00:04:50.943 --> 00:04:52.578
But to hear you sing it, it was worth every rewrite.
00:04:52.645 --> 00:04:55.415
It was worth every rewrite. it's really beautiful
00:04:55.481 --> 00:04:57.183
It's really beautiful when you take something
00:04:57.250 --> 00:04:57.917
When you take something straight out of scripture and --
00:04:57.984 --> 00:05:01.054
Straight out of scripture and -- i think i told you
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:01.654
I think i told you a few weeks ago,
00:05:01.721 --> 00:05:02.255
A few weeks ago, i don't remember
00:05:02.322 --> 00:05:02.989
I don't remember if i just said this on
00:05:03.056 --> 00:05:03.890
If i just said this on one of my basin recordings.
00:05:03.956 --> 00:05:06.893
One of my basin recordings. i do these little recordings
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.027
I do these little recordings that i only send
00:05:08.094 --> 00:05:09.362
That i only send to a few people.
00:05:09.429 --> 00:05:10.430
To a few people. sometimes i put 'em online,
00:05:10.496 --> 00:05:11.564
Sometimes i put 'em online, but i don't remember
00:05:11.631 --> 00:05:12.198
But i don't remember where i said this
00:05:12.265 --> 00:05:13.900
Where i said this or if you know this or not.
00:05:13.966 --> 00:05:15.368
Or if you know this or not. but my job is to put
00:05:15.435 --> 00:05:18.371
But my job is to put god's word in your heart.
00:05:18.438 --> 00:05:22.275
God's word in your heart. that's my job.
00:05:22.342 --> 00:05:24.077
That's my job. and sometimes,
00:05:24.143 --> 00:05:25.845
And sometimes, it'll have a melody to it.
00:05:25.912 --> 00:05:27.313
It'll have a melody to it. sometimes, it'll be
00:05:27.380 --> 00:05:27.980
Sometimes, it'll be nice and calm.
00:05:28.047 --> 00:05:30.049
Nice and calm. i just finished making you
00:05:30.116 --> 00:05:31.284
I just finished making you another one of those tracks.
00:05:31.351 --> 00:05:32.885
Another one of those tracks. i don't know if y'all remember
00:05:32.952 --> 00:05:33.753
I don't know if y'all remember when i used to do these
00:05:33.820 --> 00:05:34.587
When i used to do these hype tracks that you can
00:05:34.654 --> 00:05:35.488
Hype tracks that you can listen to at the gym like,
00:05:35.555 --> 00:05:36.622
Listen to at the gym like, "i will fight,"
00:05:36.689 --> 00:05:37.623
"i will fight," and "i will be confident."
00:05:37.690 --> 00:05:39.926
And "i will be confident." i just finished this new one.
00:05:39.992 --> 00:05:42.528
I just finished this new one. it's lethal.
00:05:42.595 --> 00:05:44.097
It's lethal. you're gonna be able to do 85
00:05:44.163 --> 00:05:45.765
You're gonna be able to do 85 close grip push ups
00:05:45.832 --> 00:05:47.500
Close grip push ups when you listen to this,
00:05:47.567 --> 00:05:48.434
When you listen to this, consecutively.
00:05:48.501 --> 00:05:50.403
Consecutively. it's gonna be amazing.
00:05:50.470 --> 00:05:53.239
It's gonna be amazing. but then, when god gives
00:05:53.306 --> 00:05:55.007
But then, when god gives our church a song
00:05:55.074 --> 00:05:56.476
Our church a song that comes straight
00:05:56.542 --> 00:05:57.443
That comes straight from the word of god,
00:05:57.510 --> 00:05:59.278
From the word of god, i think that's wonderful.
00:05:59.345 --> 00:06:00.913
I think that's wonderful. 'cause if i tell you,
00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:02.081
'cause if i tell you, "go memorize these scriptures."
00:06:02.148 --> 00:06:04.083
"go memorize these scriptures." you're like, "i don't
00:06:04.150 --> 00:06:04.650
You're like, "i don't like homework.
00:06:04.717 --> 00:06:06.018
Like homework. i'm not good at memory."
00:06:06.085 --> 00:06:07.820
I'm not good at memory." you memorize every single
00:06:07.887 --> 00:06:09.856
You memorize every single football player
00:06:09.922 --> 00:06:11.023
Football player that was on your
00:06:11.090 --> 00:06:11.624
That was on your pretend line up,
00:06:11.691 --> 00:06:13.092
Pretend line up, but you can't memorize
00:06:13.159 --> 00:06:13.826
But you can't memorize the bible, i get it.
00:06:13.893 --> 00:06:15.695
The bible, i get it. i'm not bad about it.
00:06:15.762 --> 00:06:17.296
I'm not bad about it. if we --
00:06:17.363 --> 00:06:18.164
If we -- i didn't mean for
00:06:18.231 --> 00:06:18.765
I didn't mean for that to come out harsh.
00:06:18.831 --> 00:06:20.333
That to come out harsh. i was just trying
00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:20.833
I was just trying to be funny,
00:06:20.900 --> 00:06:21.501
To be funny, but it came out real mean,
00:06:21.567 --> 00:06:23.202
But it came out real mean, but i didn't mean it mean.
00:06:23.269 --> 00:06:25.805
But i didn't mean it mean. if we put it in a way
00:06:25.872 --> 00:06:27.340
If we put it in a way that you can sing it,
00:06:27.407 --> 00:06:28.608
That you can sing it, "i sought the lord
00:06:28.674 --> 00:06:30.009
And he heard
00:06:30.109 --> 00:06:30.810
And he heard and he answered."
00:06:30.877 --> 00:06:32.111
And he answered." well, you were
00:06:32.178 --> 00:06:32.645
Well, you were singing scripture,
00:06:32.712 --> 00:06:36.082
Singing scripture, so you did scripture
00:06:36.149 --> 00:06:37.383
So you did scripture memory today.
00:06:37.450 --> 00:06:38.551
Memory today. so, gold star.
00:06:38.618 --> 00:06:40.820
So, gold star. a plus.
00:06:40.887 --> 00:06:42.221
A plus. [applause]
00:06:42.288 --> 00:06:43.956
If you don't get around
00:06:44.056 --> 00:06:44.624
If you don't get around to anything else you were
00:06:44.690 --> 00:06:45.625
To anything else you were supposed to do this week,
00:06:45.691 --> 00:06:46.893
Supposed to do this week, you did that.
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.195
You did that. you memorized that scripture.
00:06:49.262 --> 00:06:51.531
You memorized that scripture. "i sought the lord
00:06:51.597 --> 00:06:53.499
"i sought the lord and he heard,
00:06:53.566 --> 00:06:55.935
And he heard, and he answered.
00:06:56.002 --> 00:06:57.904
And he answered. he delivered me
00:06:57.970 --> 00:06:58.771
He delivered me from all my fear."
00:06:58.838 --> 00:07:03.443
From all my fear." and this is not only
00:07:03.509 --> 00:07:04.877
And this is not only a little verse
00:07:04.944 --> 00:07:06.145
A little verse but it's from
00:07:06.212 --> 00:07:07.513
But it's from one of the most
00:07:07.580 --> 00:07:09.182
One of the most poetic pieces of literature
00:07:09.248 --> 00:07:12.952
Poetic pieces of literature that you could ever study.
00:07:13.019 --> 00:07:14.987
That you could ever study. you see, psalm 34
00:07:15.054 --> 00:07:16.722
You see, psalm 34 is an acrostic poem
00:07:16.789 --> 00:07:20.059
Is an acrostic poem where they take
00:07:20.126 --> 00:07:20.960
Where they take the first letter
00:07:21.027 --> 00:07:21.661
The first letter of the hebrew alphabet,
00:07:21.727 --> 00:07:23.896
Of the hebrew alphabet, and each one of the verses
00:07:23.963 --> 00:07:25.531
And each one of the verses is the next letter
00:07:25.598 --> 00:07:26.566
Is the next letter of the hebrew alphabet.
00:07:26.632 --> 00:07:28.501
Of the hebrew alphabet. you don't get that
00:07:28.568 --> 00:07:29.302
You don't get that from the english
00:07:29.368 --> 00:07:30.937
From the english because we don't speak hebrew.
00:07:31.003 --> 00:07:32.472
Because we don't speak hebrew. [chuckles]
00:07:32.538 --> 00:07:33.372
[chuckles] so, i mean, it's
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:34.273
So, i mean, it's still beautiful
00:07:34.340 --> 00:07:36.209
Still beautiful but imagine how we would be
00:07:36.275 --> 00:07:37.009
But imagine how we would be shouting if we really
00:07:37.076 --> 00:07:38.211
Shouting if we really got to see
00:07:38.277 --> 00:07:38.778
Got to see how it was written
00:07:38.845 --> 00:07:39.612
How it was written where it's like,
00:07:39.679 --> 00:07:41.080
Where it's like, oh, oou.
00:07:41.147 --> 00:07:42.381
Oh, oou. technically, like,
00:07:42.448 --> 00:07:43.349
Technically, like, every single --
00:07:43.416 --> 00:07:44.750
Every single -- that's why i once
00:07:44.817 --> 00:07:46.385
That's why i once called david
00:07:46.452 --> 00:07:47.386
Called david the greatest rapper
00:07:47.453 --> 00:07:48.154
The greatest rapper of all time.
00:07:48.221 --> 00:07:49.422
Of all time. some people think it's 'pac,
00:07:49.489 --> 00:07:50.823
Some people think it's 'pac, some people think it's biggie,
00:07:50.890 --> 00:07:53.125
Some people think it's biggie, i definitely think it's david.
00:07:53.192 --> 00:07:54.994
I definitely think it's david. [laughter]
00:07:55.061 --> 00:07:56.796
[laughter] i mean, who can do this?
00:07:56.863 --> 00:07:58.297
I mean, who can do this? every single verse
00:07:58.364 --> 00:07:59.465
Every single verse is a different letter
00:07:59.532 --> 00:08:00.500
Is a different letter of the hebrew alphabet.
00:08:00.566 --> 00:08:02.468
Of the hebrew alphabet. and so, there's
00:08:02.535 --> 00:08:04.003
And so, there's a technical component
00:08:04.070 --> 00:08:04.804
A technical component to this psalm that is just
00:08:04.871 --> 00:08:06.706
To this psalm that is just beautiful enough
00:08:06.772 --> 00:08:08.040
Beautiful enough to let us know
00:08:08.107 --> 00:08:09.308
To let us know that he really worked on this.
00:08:09.375 --> 00:08:11.777
That he really worked on this. he didn't just
00:08:11.844 --> 00:08:12.211
He didn't just throw this together
00:08:12.278 --> 00:08:14.280
Throw this together or tear a page
00:08:14.347 --> 00:08:15.081
Or tear a page out of his diary.
00:08:15.147 --> 00:08:16.516
Out of his diary. he really took the time
00:08:16.582 --> 00:08:18.384
He really took the time to dissect these
00:08:18.451 --> 00:08:19.418
To dissect these different elements,
00:08:19.485 --> 00:08:20.953
Different elements, and the put them together
00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:23.289
And the put them together where we could
00:08:23.356 --> 00:08:24.257
Where we could learn from them
00:08:24.323 --> 00:08:25.925
Learn from them about how to trust god
00:08:25.992 --> 00:08:27.426
About how to trust god in our own situations.
00:08:27.493 --> 00:08:29.795
In our own situations. while the psalm
00:08:29.862 --> 00:08:30.630
While the psalm follows the form
00:08:30.696 --> 00:08:32.131
Follows the form or the technique
00:08:32.198 --> 00:08:33.399
Or the technique of a thanksgiving psalm
00:08:33.466 --> 00:08:35.067
Of a thanksgiving psalm for an individual,
00:08:35.134 --> 00:08:36.569
For an individual, it's pretty clear
00:08:36.636 --> 00:08:37.737
It's pretty clear from the form
00:08:37.803 --> 00:08:38.704
From the form that it was written
00:08:38.771 --> 00:08:39.739
That it was written for a whole community.
00:08:39.805 --> 00:08:41.841
For a whole community. which means it wasn't just
00:08:41.908 --> 00:08:42.742
Which means it wasn't just written through the filter
00:08:42.808 --> 00:08:44.243
Written through the filter of his own personal
00:08:44.310 --> 00:08:45.244
Of his own personal faith or fear,
00:08:45.311 --> 00:08:47.380
Faith or fear, but rather,
00:08:47.446 --> 00:08:48.214
But rather, it came through that funnel
00:08:48.281 --> 00:08:49.482
It came through that funnel so it could be passed to us,
00:08:49.549 --> 00:08:51.851
So it could be passed to us, so that we could see
00:08:51.918 --> 00:08:53.052
So that we could see what does it really look like
00:08:53.119 --> 00:08:55.521
What does it really look like to trust in god.
00:08:55.588 --> 00:08:59.692
To trust in god. so, whenever this was written,
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.295
So, whenever this was written, it was not written
00:09:02.361 --> 00:09:03.763
It was not written while the author
00:09:03.829 --> 00:09:05.298
While the author was going through
00:09:05.364 --> 00:09:06.265
Was going through his struggle
00:09:06.332 --> 00:09:07.366
His struggle because nobody can pray
00:09:07.433 --> 00:09:10.136
Because nobody can pray in alphabetical order
00:09:10.202 --> 00:09:11.904
In alphabetical order when they're going
00:09:11.971 --> 00:09:12.471
When they're going through hell.
00:09:12.538 --> 00:09:13.406
Through hell. [laughter]
00:09:13.472 --> 00:09:15.541
[laughter] [applause]
00:09:15.608 --> 00:09:17.543
[applause] you don't pray
00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:18.511
You don't pray alphabetical prayers
00:09:18.578 --> 00:09:20.846
Alphabetical prayers when you have three different
00:09:20.913 --> 00:09:22.715
When you have three different bills looking at you
00:09:22.782 --> 00:09:24.850
Bills looking at you and you can't pay
00:09:24.917 --> 00:09:25.518
And you can't pay any of them.
00:09:25.585 --> 00:09:26.752
Any of them. you don't pray
00:09:26.819 --> 00:09:27.620
You don't pray alphabetic prayers
00:09:27.687 --> 00:09:29.155
Alphabetic prayers when your kids are acting
00:09:29.221 --> 00:09:30.089
When your kids are acting like they need three
00:09:30.156 --> 00:09:31.157
Like they need three different medications.
00:09:31.223 --> 00:09:33.259
Different medications. you don't pray
00:09:33.326 --> 00:09:34.026
You don't pray alphabetical prayers
00:09:34.093 --> 00:09:35.294
Alphabetical prayers when they start
00:09:35.361 --> 00:09:36.195
When they start firing people who are
00:09:36.262 --> 00:09:37.430
Firing people who are more qualified than you
00:09:37.496 --> 00:09:39.131
More qualified than you and you're wondering,
00:09:39.198 --> 00:09:40.299
And you're wondering, "well, if they fired them,
00:09:40.366 --> 00:09:42.134
"well, if they fired them, i know i'm not --
00:09:42.201 --> 00:09:43.603
I know i'm not -- so, you don't pray.
00:09:43.669 --> 00:09:44.904
So, you don't pray. that's not --
00:09:44.971 --> 00:09:45.504
That's not -- that's not those
00:09:45.571 --> 00:09:46.339
That's not those king james prayers,
00:09:46.405 --> 00:09:48.274
King james prayers, is it?
00:09:48.341 --> 00:09:49.775
Is it? you don't say words like,
00:09:49.842 --> 00:09:52.311
You don't say words like, "i sought the lord,"
00:09:52.378 --> 00:09:54.981
"i sought the lord," when you're really
00:09:55.047 --> 00:09:55.748
When you're really going through
00:09:55.815 --> 00:09:56.282
Going through a difficult storm.
00:09:56.349 --> 00:09:57.283
A difficult storm. maybe you do, i don't.
00:09:57.350 --> 00:09:59.819
Maybe you do, i don't. i don't say,
00:09:59.885 --> 00:10:01.020
I don't say, "i trusteth thee, lord,"
00:10:01.087 --> 00:10:03.356
"i trusteth thee, lord," in my low moments.
00:10:03.422 --> 00:10:05.458
In my low moments. i may go back
00:10:05.524 --> 00:10:06.125
I may go back and look on them and say,
00:10:06.192 --> 00:10:07.760
And look on them and say, "i'm so glad
00:10:07.827 --> 00:10:09.261
"i'm so glad that i trusteth him.
00:10:09.328 --> 00:10:11.397
That i trusteth him. that i bequeath my trust
00:10:11.464 --> 00:10:13.733
That i bequeath my trust unto the divine."
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:15.134
Unto the divine." [laughter]
00:10:15.201 --> 00:10:16.135
[laughter] but when you're
00:10:16.202 --> 00:10:16.502
But when you're going through stuff,
00:10:16.569 --> 00:10:18.471
Going through stuff, you don't say it that fancy.
00:10:18.537 --> 00:10:20.506
You don't say it that fancy. so, it brings me
00:10:20.573 --> 00:10:22.208
So, it brings me to the question,
00:10:22.274 --> 00:10:23.843
To the question, what does it
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:24.443
What does it really mean to say,
00:10:24.510 --> 00:10:26.379
Really mean to say, "i sought the lord."
00:10:26.445 --> 00:10:30.549
"i sought the lord." as i reflected on
00:10:30.616 --> 00:10:31.150
As i reflected on that this week,
00:10:31.217 --> 00:10:32.318
That this week, i thought, "we should
00:10:32.385 --> 00:10:33.619
I thought, "we should definitely study it."
00:10:33.686 --> 00:10:35.688
Definitely study it." before i preach it
00:10:35.755 --> 00:10:37.156
Before i preach it like i feel it,
00:10:37.223 --> 00:10:39.025
Like i feel it, let me teach it
00:10:39.091 --> 00:10:40.426
Let me teach it just a little bit.
00:10:40.493 --> 00:10:42.728
Just a little bit. when he says,
00:10:42.795 --> 00:10:43.496
When he says, "i sought the lord,"
00:10:43.562 --> 00:10:45.031
"i sought the lord," that definitely could mean
00:10:45.097 --> 00:10:47.166
That definitely could mean that he went to
00:10:47.233 --> 00:10:48.167
That he went to the temple to pray.
00:10:48.234 --> 00:10:50.703
The temple to pray. there are times in scripture
00:10:50.770 --> 00:10:53.072
There are times in scripture where they will say,
00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:54.707
Where they will say, "i sought the lord,"
00:10:54.774 --> 00:10:56.475
"i sought the lord," and it means that
00:10:56.542 --> 00:10:56.976
And it means that they went to the temple,
00:10:57.043 --> 00:10:58.544
They went to the temple, offered sacrifices, and prayed.
00:10:58.611 --> 00:11:01.781
Offered sacrifices, and prayed. but based on the context
00:11:01.847 --> 00:11:03.115
But based on the context of this psalm,
00:11:03.182 --> 00:11:04.183
Of this psalm, it's unlikely that
00:11:04.250 --> 00:11:05.451
It's unlikely that that's what the psalmist means.
00:11:05.518 --> 00:11:08.220
That's what the psalmist means. instead, he is probably talking
00:11:08.287 --> 00:11:10.923
Instead, he is probably talking about a type of seeking god
00:11:10.990 --> 00:11:13.259
About a type of seeking god that doesn't have to do with
00:11:13.325 --> 00:11:14.393
That doesn't have to do with going to a physical location,
00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:16.996
Going to a physical location, but it's a particular
00:11:17.063 --> 00:11:18.164
But it's a particular state of mind.
00:11:18.230 --> 00:11:21.067
State of mind. this particular state of mind
00:11:21.133 --> 00:11:23.202
This particular state of mind is not a singular state of mind,
00:11:23.269 --> 00:11:26.138
Is not a singular state of mind, because he says --
00:11:26.205 --> 00:11:26.972
Because he says -- give me verse 4 again.
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.107
Give me verse 4 again. let's take it apart.
00:11:28.174 --> 00:11:29.041
Let's take it apart. let's break it down.
00:11:29.108 --> 00:11:29.975
Let's break it down. let's find out
00:11:30.042 --> 00:11:30.643
Let's find out what we were singing about.
00:11:30.710 --> 00:11:31.844
What we were singing about. it's one thing to sing it,
00:11:31.911 --> 00:11:33.079
It's one thing to sing it, but i don't need you
00:11:33.145 --> 00:11:33.813
But i don't need you just to sing it,
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:34.313
Just to sing it, i need you to really
00:11:34.380 --> 00:11:34.914
I need you to really get it in your spirit.
00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:36.115
Get it in your spirit. kill those monitors
00:11:36.182 --> 00:11:37.383
Kill those monitors back there
00:11:37.450 --> 00:11:37.850
Back there 'cause i can hear it.
00:11:37.917 --> 00:11:38.451
'cause i can hear it. it's giving me
00:11:38.517 --> 00:11:39.118
It's giving me a little slack back
00:11:39.185 --> 00:11:39.752
A little slack back and it's messing with my head.
00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:41.487
And it's messing with my head. verse 4, "i sought the lord,
00:11:41.554 --> 00:11:43.556
Verse 4, "i sought the lord, and he heard me,
00:11:43.622 --> 00:11:44.924
And he heard me, and delivered me
00:11:44.990 --> 00:11:46.692
And delivered me from all my fears."
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:49.295
From all my fears." everybody say, "fears."
00:11:49.361 --> 00:11:50.396
Everybody say, "fears." >> congregation: fears.
00:11:50.463 --> 00:11:51.430
>> congregation: fears. >> it's interesting
00:11:51.497 --> 00:11:52.598
>> it's interesting that he's so confident
00:11:52.665 --> 00:11:54.100
That he's so confident on one hand
00:11:54.166 --> 00:11:55.234
On one hand and so honest on the other.
00:11:55.301 --> 00:11:57.336
And so honest on the other. he said, "i sought the lord,
00:11:57.403 --> 00:11:59.405
He said, "i sought the lord, and he heard me,
00:11:59.472 --> 00:12:00.639
And he heard me, and delivered me
00:12:00.706 --> 00:12:02.074
And delivered me from all my fears."
00:12:02.141 --> 00:12:03.709
From all my fears." well, if you're seeking god,
00:12:03.776 --> 00:12:05.344
Well, if you're seeking god, what are you afraid of?
00:12:05.411 --> 00:12:07.346
What are you afraid of? if he heard you,
00:12:07.413 --> 00:12:08.781
If he heard you, what are you afraid of?
00:12:08.848 --> 00:12:10.216
What are you afraid of? if you trust him,
00:12:10.282 --> 00:12:11.817
If you trust him, what are you afraid of?
00:12:11.884 --> 00:12:13.919
What are you afraid of? this word, "fear"
00:12:13.986 --> 00:12:15.020
This word, "fear" has to do with dread.
00:12:15.087 --> 00:12:18.124
Has to do with dread. this word "fear" has to do
00:12:18.190 --> 00:12:20.092
This word "fear" has to do with the anticipation
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.894
With the anticipation of something bad happening.
00:12:21.961 --> 00:12:24.597
Of something bad happening. more particularly,
00:12:24.663 --> 00:12:26.031
More particularly, it's a certain state
00:12:26.098 --> 00:12:27.366
It's a certain state of your soul
00:12:27.433 --> 00:12:28.434
Of your soul or your thoughts
00:12:28.501 --> 00:12:29.969
Or your thoughts that is trouble.
00:12:30.035 --> 00:12:31.437
That is trouble. so, the psalmist is saying,
00:12:31.504 --> 00:12:33.339
So, the psalmist is saying, "i had a troubled
00:12:33.405 --> 00:12:35.374
"i had a troubled thought pattern,
00:12:35.441 --> 00:12:37.676
Thought pattern, and i sought the lord,
00:12:37.743 --> 00:12:40.446
And i sought the lord, and he heard me."
00:12:40.513 --> 00:12:43.949
And he heard me." i don't think you know
00:12:44.016 --> 00:12:44.717
I don't think you know how good that was.
00:12:44.784 --> 00:12:45.885
How good that was. [cheering]
00:12:45.951 --> 00:12:46.886
[cheering] i don't think you know
00:12:46.952 --> 00:12:47.486
I don't think you know how good that was.
00:12:47.553 --> 00:12:49.021
How good that was. he said, "i had thoughts
00:12:49.088 --> 00:12:52.358
He said, "i had thoughts of doom and gloom,
00:12:52.424 --> 00:12:55.161
Of doom and gloom, but i sought the lord,
00:12:55.227 --> 00:12:58.130
But i sought the lord, even while i had the thoughts,
00:12:58.197 --> 00:13:01.367
Even while i had the thoughts, and he heard me."
00:13:01.433 --> 00:13:03.269
And he heard me." [applause]
00:13:03.335 --> 00:13:04.703
[applause] so, why that makes me happy
00:13:04.770 --> 00:13:06.438
So, why that makes me happy is because the psalm
00:13:06.505 --> 00:13:07.673
Is because the psalm started so beautiful,
00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:09.341
Started so beautiful, "i will bless the lord
00:13:09.408 --> 00:13:10.810
"i will bless the lord at all times:
00:13:10.876 --> 00:13:12.344
At all times: and his praise will continually
00:13:12.411 --> 00:13:14.413
And his praise will continually be in my mouth."
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.081
Be in my mouth." that i almost got intimidated
00:13:16.148 --> 00:13:17.249
That i almost got intimidated when i read it,
00:13:17.316 --> 00:13:18.117
When i read it, 'cause i thought,
00:13:18.184 --> 00:13:18.651
'cause i thought, "well, i don't do that
00:13:18.717 --> 00:13:19.251
"well, i don't do that all the time.
00:13:19.318 --> 00:13:21.153
All the time. i don't always
00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:22.021
I don't always just walk around praising god."
00:13:22.087 --> 00:13:23.956
Just walk around praising god." i'll bump my toe,
00:13:24.023 --> 00:13:24.657
I'll bump my toe, "oh, praise the lord
00:13:24.723 --> 00:13:25.491
"oh, praise the lord for a coffee table
00:13:25.558 --> 00:13:26.492
For a coffee table to bump my toe on.
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:27.560
To bump my toe on. some people don't
00:13:27.626 --> 00:13:28.060
Some people don't have coffee tables.
00:13:28.127 --> 00:13:29.261
Have coffee tables. [laughter]
00:13:29.328 --> 00:13:32.298
[laughter] somebody would really
00:13:32.364 --> 00:13:33.032
Somebody would really be grateful for a coffee table
00:13:33.098 --> 00:13:34.500
Be grateful for a coffee table to bump their toe on."
00:13:34.567 --> 00:13:36.202
To bump their toe on." and i don't say "sought"
00:13:36.268 --> 00:13:37.770
And i don't say "sought" when i bump my toe
00:13:37.837 --> 00:13:38.470
When i bump my toe on the coffee table.
00:13:38.537 --> 00:13:39.572
On the coffee table. it starts with a "s"
00:13:39.638 --> 00:13:40.472
It starts with a "s" what i think in my head,
00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:41.307
What i think in my head, but it's not "sought."
00:13:41.373 --> 00:13:42.508
But it's not "sought." [laughter]

A little bit there but y'all, come back.

But y'all, come back. and it is contrasting
00:18:25.090 --> 00:18:27.359
And it is contrasting the fear that the author felt
00:18:27.426 --> 00:18:30.529
The fear that the author felt with the response that god gave.
00:18:30.596 --> 00:18:33.699
With the response that god gave. and he summarizes this so simply
00:18:33.765 --> 00:18:37.002
And he summarizes this so simply that it is almost
00:18:37.069 --> 00:18:40.739
That it is almost deceptive on the surface.
00:18:40.806 --> 00:18:44.843

Can we all agree there's different types of trust?
00:19:13.172 --> 00:19:15.941
Different types of trust? you trusted the chair

You trusted the chair to sit down in today.
00:19:17.242 --> 00:19:19.344

What god's word means to the best of my ability today.

To the best of my ability today. but that's one type of trust

Because it's to the best of my ability.
00:19:49.241 --> 00:19:50.409

I'mma tell you. what happened with david
00:21:17.562 --> 00:21:18.497
What happened with david was that god had called him
00:21:18.563 --> 00:21:20.132
Was that god had called him to be a king.
00:21:20.198 --> 00:21:21.800
To be a king. but as with anything
00:21:21.867 --> 00:21:22.868
But as with anything that god promises you
00:21:22.934 --> 00:21:23.869
That god promises you in your life,
00:21:23.935 --> 00:21:25.103
In your life, there is usually
00:21:25.170 --> 00:21:25.704
There is usually not a straight line
00:21:25.771 --> 00:21:26.872
Not a straight line between what he speaks to you
00:21:26.938 --> 00:21:28.707
Between what he speaks to you and when it comes to pass.
00:21:28.774 --> 00:21:30.876
And when it comes to pass. many of us will be familiar
00:21:30.942 --> 00:21:32.110
Many of us will be familiar with the name "saul"
00:21:32.177 --> 00:21:33.445
With the name "saul" from scripture,
00:21:33.512 --> 00:21:34.946
From scripture, who was the first king
00:21:35.013 --> 00:21:35.881
Who was the first king that israel ever had.
00:21:35.947 --> 00:21:37.382
That israel ever had. he wasn't a very good king,
00:21:37.449 --> 00:21:38.984
He wasn't a very good king, he was an insecure king.
00:21:39.051 --> 00:21:40.719
He was an insecure king. he didn't ask god
00:21:40.786 --> 00:21:41.887
He didn't ask god what he should do,
00:21:41.953 --> 00:21:42.788
What he should do, he did whatever
00:21:42.854 --> 00:21:43.722
He did whatever he thought he should do
00:21:43.789 --> 00:21:45.257
He thought he should do just to make sure he kept
00:21:45.324 --> 00:21:46.425
Just to make sure he kept what he thought he had,
00:21:46.491 --> 00:21:47.559
What he thought he had, but that's the surest way
00:21:47.626 --> 00:21:48.427
But that's the surest way to lose it.
00:21:48.493 --> 00:21:49.628
To lose it. because if you keep
00:21:49.695 --> 00:21:50.128
Because if you keep an open hand to god,
00:21:50.195 --> 00:21:51.063
An open hand to god, he can fill it,
00:21:51.129 --> 00:21:51.697
He can fill it, but if you close your fist
00:21:51.763 --> 00:21:52.497
But if you close your fist around what god gave you,
00:21:52.564 --> 00:21:53.565
Around what god gave you, he will have to pry
00:21:53.632 --> 00:21:54.299
He will have to pry your fingers off of it.
00:21:54.366 --> 00:21:55.600
Your fingers off of it. [applause]
00:21:55.667 --> 00:21:56.768
[applause] so, saul lost
00:21:56.835 --> 00:21:57.369
So, saul lost the kingdom that way.
00:21:57.436 --> 00:21:58.537
The kingdom that way. one of the worst mistakes
00:21:58.603 --> 00:21:59.504
One of the worst mistakes that he ever made
00:21:59.571 --> 00:22:00.405
That he ever made was that when god sent
00:22:00.472 --> 00:22:01.707
Was that when god sent david to fight battles for him,
00:22:01.773 --> 00:22:03.642
David to fight battles for him, he tried to kill what god
00:22:03.709 --> 00:22:05.444
He tried to kill what god sent him to help him.
00:22:05.510 --> 00:22:08.213
Sent him to help him. he chased david.
00:22:08.280 --> 00:22:09.181
He chased david. i mean, chased david.
00:22:09.247 --> 00:22:10.649
I mean, chased david. one day, david was playing
00:22:10.716 --> 00:22:11.750
One day, david was playing the harp for saul, right?
00:22:11.817 --> 00:22:13.518
The harp for saul, right? because david had
00:22:13.585 --> 00:22:14.119
Because david had this ambidextrous ability
00:22:14.186 --> 00:22:15.854
This ambidextrous ability to play beautiful music,
00:22:15.921 --> 00:22:17.456
To play beautiful music, but he was also
00:22:17.522 --> 00:22:18.490
But he was also one of the baddest warriors
00:22:18.557 --> 00:22:20.192
One of the baddest warriors to ever draw breath
00:22:20.258 --> 00:22:21.393
To ever draw breath on the planet.
00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:22.794
On the planet. he was really cool
00:22:22.861 --> 00:22:23.962
He was really cool because he could pick up
00:22:24.029 --> 00:22:25.230
Because he could pick up a sword with his left hand
00:22:25.297 --> 00:22:27.766
A sword with his left hand or he could strum a harp
00:22:27.833 --> 00:22:29.267
Or he could strum a harp with his right hand.
00:22:29.334 --> 00:22:30.702
With his right hand. now, that is multifaceted.
00:22:30.769 --> 00:22:32.604
Now, that is multifaceted. but one day,
00:22:32.671 --> 00:22:33.071
But one day, as he was playing
00:22:33.138 --> 00:22:33.739
As he was playing a beautiful song for saul
00:22:33.805 --> 00:22:35.807
A beautiful song for saul to get to get the evil spirit
00:22:35.874 --> 00:22:36.908
To get to get the evil spirit that was resting on him
00:22:36.975 --> 00:22:38.009
That was resting on him to dissipate for just
00:22:38.076 --> 00:22:38.910
To dissipate for just a few minutes,
00:22:38.977 --> 00:22:40.112
A few minutes, saul picks up a spear
00:22:40.178 --> 00:22:41.847
Saul picks up a spear and throws it at david
00:22:41.913 --> 00:22:42.581
And throws it at david across the room.
00:22:42.647 --> 00:22:43.582
Across the room. david's athletic.
00:22:43.648 --> 00:22:44.716
David's athletic. [swoosh]
00:22:44.783 --> 00:22:45.350

[swoosh] he missed.
00:22:52.290 --> 00:22:53.425
He missed. [applause]
00:22:53.492 --> 00:22:56.328
[applause] not only does david
00:22:56.395 --> 00:22:57.596
Not only does david have great flexibility
00:22:57.662 --> 00:22:58.730
Have great flexibility and cat-like abilities to dodge,
00:22:58.797 --> 00:23:01.500
And cat-like abilities to dodge, but also, god has
00:23:01.566 --> 00:23:02.768
But also, god has supernatural wisdom
00:23:02.834 --> 00:23:04.336
Supernatural wisdom so that he will never allow
00:23:04.403 --> 00:23:05.804
So that he will never allow anything to happen
00:23:05.871 --> 00:23:07.005
Anything to happen in your life
00:23:07.072 --> 00:23:07.739
In your life that doesn't first pass
00:23:07.806 --> 00:23:08.673
That doesn't first pass through his hand.
00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:09.508
Through his hand. [applause]
