8
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>we finally cared enough to find out when are people

9
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 2>listening to us?

10
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And it seems like the more people listen on the

11
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>drive home from work time play Afternoon than like four

12
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.159

16
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours a day, but yeah, it seems like

17
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.399
<v Speaker 2>the majority is right there in that time slot. We've

18
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 2>always been singing good morning to everybody. So I just

19
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 2>thought i'd pop in on the Good Appa.

20
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I'm not gonna let it ruin my mornings.

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>So Chris, by the way, I just want to hint

25
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that tell our audience that right as the role I

26
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.399

<v Speaker 1>my goodness, we have turned as so many four. Yes,

28

<v Speaker 2>that does has for us is let's ask chat GPT. Yes,

35
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>and this is the part of the show where we

36
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 2>hand over control the artificial intelligence, because apparently that's how

37
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.519
<v Speaker 2>every good horror movie starts.

38
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:27.000

<v Speaker 1>Wow.

41
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Right, So since it's Halloween, we told chat GPT to

42
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>dig up some funny stories, some ridiculous jokes, or random

43
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>halloween chaos. Basically, we said, hey, robot, get weird.

44
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>That's really funny.

45
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>So here we go. So you did it right, you

<v Speaker 2>typed it in. I did, and you asked what did

47
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>you ask chat GPT?

48
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.719

53
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Just and whatever whatever this weird robot wants to do.

54
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>And then it said, this perfect setup smiley face. Since

55
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>it's for the Bible Guys and it's Halloween, let's mix

65
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.000

66
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>because demons are a ghul's best friend.

67
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 2>That friend. Okay, okay, that's a good one.

73
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 1>they're afraid to unwind? Why are the Bible. Why excuse me,

74
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>why was the Bible so good at Halloween parties? I

75
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know, because they had plenty of spirits. Oh and

76
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 1>then finally, what did the ghosts say to the preacher?

77
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

78
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 1>I join your sermon, but I'm already in the spirits.

79
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>So two spirit jokes, okay. And then it says Bible

80
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>meets Halloween clean comedy skits or lines. These are terrible.

81
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm skipping over that.

00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you.

83
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>And then it says random Halloween chaos like the Pumpkin

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Gone Wrong gospel, that these are terrible ideas. Okay, okay, okay,

<v Speaker 1>not not during the Bible.

155
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Guys, Okay, I don't know what are you doing? Are

156
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you asking chet gpt something? Why is Jeff so handsome? Uh?

157
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 1>It's what a girl wants. Oh the movie?

158
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>You look the movie which because you couldn't let it.

159
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Go by the way, That's where I was going to

160
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>say it was. Oh, but I didn't think it was

161
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.519
<v Speaker 1>well Lindsay Lowhane, I thought that was h Amanda Bynes.

162
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Huh so Psalm eighty four says this.

163
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Are you ready you know what I got it wrong?

164
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 1>It was it was Amanda Bynds.

165
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't Lindsay Luyn Okay, so it wasn't Lindsay the

166
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Son of a gun. Okay. Well, now you learned people

167
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 2>were riveted.

168
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>That was important. Yeah, I know, I know they took

169
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time.

170
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>This is God's living presence in our is our greatest joy.

171
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>That's what this is all about today. And the promise

172
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 2>is no good thing does he withhold? And this is

173
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>all about the provision of God. So Psal maybe four says,

174
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>how lovely is your dwelling place, O, Lord of Heaven's Armies.

175
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 2>I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the

176
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 2>courts of the Lord. With my whole being, body and soul.

177
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I will shout joyfully to the Living God. Even the

178
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>sparrow finds a home, and swallow builds her nest and

179
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 2>raises her young at a place near your altar. O,

180
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Lord of Heaven's Armies, my King and my God. What

181
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 2>joy for those who can live in your house always

182
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>singing your praises. What joy for those whose strength comes

183
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.639
<v Speaker 2>from the Lord, who have set their minds on a

184
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 2>pilgrimage to Jerusalem. When they walk through the Valley of Weeping,

185
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 2>it will become a place of refreshing springs. The autumn

186
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.519
<v Speaker 2>rains will clothe it with blessings. They will continue to

187
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 2>grow stronger, and each of them will appear before God

188
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>in Jerusalem. O, Lord, God of Heaven's Armies, hear my prayer. Listen,

189
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 2>O God of Jacob, Oh, God, look with favor upon

190
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 2>the king our shield. Show favor to the one you

191
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>have anointed. A single day in your courts is better

192
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a gatekeeper

193
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 2>in the house of my God than live the good

194
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>life in the homes of the wicked. For the Lord

195
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 2>God is our son and our shield. He gives us

196
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>grace and glory. And the Lord will withhold nothing good,

197
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 2>no good thing, from those who do what is right. Oh,

198
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Lord of Heaven's armies, What joy for those who trust

199
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>in you. So the big verse is for the Lord.

200
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>For the Lord God is our son and our shield.

201
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.159
<v Speaker 2>He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold

202
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 2>no good thing from those who do what.

203
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Is right, withhold no good thing.

204
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 2>He will withhold no good thing.

205
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Which again, it's not saying he would give every good thing.

206
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't say he will give you every good thing.

207
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>It does not say vote for Pedro, He'll make all

208
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>your wildness dreams come true.

209
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 1>That's right, vote for paid, vote for Summer. No, it's

210
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not that it is it is, Okay, all these

211
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>movie quotes are going through my head. So sorry, See

212
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>what'd you do to me?

213
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.

214
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>No, what I was going to say is it doesn't

215
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>say that he's going to give you every good thing.

216
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>It just says that by the nature of God, he

217
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.399
<v Speaker 1>will not withhold any good thing. Right, It's sort of

218
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 1>like it's sort of like in Romans Yesterday. It's sort

219
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of in the same category, right, because it says if

220
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ, if God gave Jesus Christ, then he's not

221
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>going to hold anything else back. So it's sort of

222
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>the same principle. It's the idea that it's saying that, hey,

223
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 1>if you're a person who does what is right, if

224
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>you seek him first, you know, if you have good

225
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.799
<v Speaker 1>intentions and good heart, if you're a believer, you're a follower,

226
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 1>you acknowledge God as lord of your life. He's never

227
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>going to see a good thing and look at you

228
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 1>and say, no, I'm going to hold that back. Now,

229
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 1>whether he chooses to give it or not, it's a

230
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>different story because sometimes he chooses to give some things

231
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes he doesn't. And that's that's a whole other

232
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>category of why. And you know, fairness and in God's

233
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 1>perfect plan and timing and his will and all. I mean,

234
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Speaker 1>those are massive categories. So we can't we can't just

235
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, assume he's going to give us all good things,

236
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>but not that he's not going to look at you

237
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know what, I'm going to hold this

238
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 1>good thing back from my child because you.

239
00:10:55.399 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Want so, you know, we love the Life Application Study Bible. Yeah,

240
00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>and the note here for verse eleven. Right, so the

241
00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do

242
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>what is right. The note says this verse does not

243
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.159
<v Speaker 2>promise that God will give us everything we think is good,

244
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>but that he will not withhold from us what is

245
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 2>permanently good. It's a big difference. Yeah, right. What we

246
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>want is we wanted to give us what we think

247
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>is good, and God saying I'm not going to hold

248
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 2>back anything that is permanently good or perfectly good for you.

249
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>He will give us the means to walk along his paths,

250
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>but we must do the walking when we obey him.

251
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 2>He will not hold anything back that will help us

252
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>serve him. And so in that then, as we're on mission,

253
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 2>because remember this is the king and he's singing this

254
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>praise to God. As a matter of fact, at what

255
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>point he says he asks him to help the king.

256
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember that part? Yeah, Oh, God, look with

257
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 2>favor upon the king our shield. It's the king, the

258
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 2>king's job to protect the people right, right, So again

259
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>that's almost in the middle, not quite, but towards the

260
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>middle of the message here of this this this passage,

261
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.159
<v Speaker 2>and he's saying, show favor to the one you've anoined.

262
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 1>God.

263
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I've got a job and I'm doing what you anointed

264
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>me to do. And it's in that context I'm doing

265
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 2>what you made me to do, so I can have

266
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>confidence that You're not going to hold back anything I

267
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.600
<v Speaker 2>need to do it, right, that's great, and uh, you know,

268
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>doing God's mission, God's way will never like God's resources.

269
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Right And then so who is at Hudson Taylor used

270
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 2>to say that, yeah, yeah, and uh, that's true that

271
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.039
<v Speaker 2>this is what I said. Then let me let me

272
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.600
<v Speaker 2>highlight this. I love the term the name of God,

273
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.159
<v Speaker 2>the Lord, God of Heaven's Armies. Yeah, is maybe, maybe

274
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 2>maybe one of my favorite names in the Bible.

275
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>So one of our friends started a church in the

276
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.320
<v Speaker 1>area and call it Heaven's.

277
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Armies, Heaven's Armies, and that that idea of you thinking

278
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:02.279
<v Speaker 2>about how powerful God is and how strong he is.

279
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's a king who has spent a big part of

280
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 2>his career having to defend the people of Israel from

281
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>raiders like the Philistines and others. Yeah, and he refers

282
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to his God as the God of Heaven's armies, not

283
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 2>of Israel's armies, right, but of Heaven's armies, which is

284
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 2>pretty cool. Yeah.

285
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And I think we talked about this before in

286
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the past, but most people believe that there are millions

287
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of angels, right, millions, And so just the idea that

288
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 1>God would have this vast army is I mean, it's

289
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's supported in scripture, the idea that God

290
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:45.360
<v Speaker 1>has this tremendous, powerful army. And so yeah, the Lord

291
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.799
<v Speaker 1>of Heaven, Heaven's armies puts him as the king, doesn't it, Yes,

292
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 1>and the powerful king at that, and so it does

293
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 1>say that, you know, just like he wants God to

294
00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>look at look favor upon his king. The shield, you know,

295
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>it actually says in verse eleven our main verse for

296
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the Lord God is our son. In our shield. It

297
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no

298
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.519
<v Speaker 1>good thing.

299
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 2>So you know, there's the Bible talks about how when

300
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 2>Jesus was on the cross, he could have called the

301
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>whole legion of angels to come and rescue him, you know,

302
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>and you think of that power and then hear David saying,

303
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 2>the Lord of Heaven's armies will not hold back anything

304
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 2>that I need to fulfill his mission. So I was

305
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:32.240
<v Speaker 2>just looking up, how powerful is one angel?

306
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

307
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>That's great, not a thousand angels, but one angel, one angel.

308
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>And in tewod King's chapter nineteen, verse thirty five, it

309
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 2>says that night the angel Lord went out and put

310
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 2>to death one hundred and eighty five thousand in the

311
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Assyrian camp. One angel wipes out an army of one

312
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.799
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty five thousand people.

313
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Now see, because I think in terms of like scenes

314
00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>and movies, Yeah, I'm thinking like, did he do you like,

315
00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, punch the ground like thor and everybody just

316
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 1>blew back? Right? Yeah, We're like Hella when she threw

317
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the eternal flame and then everybody glew green, you know,

318
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 1>glow green. Or was it more like okay, here we go,

319
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, roll up the sleeves and we're going to

320
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>take them on one by one and it's more like

321
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.519
<v Speaker 1>the matrix, you know, fighting off everybody, you know, coming

322
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.919
<v Speaker 1>at him one at a time. Right, did it take

323
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 1>all night or did it take one second?

324
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, but

325
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eighty five kind of the I hope

326
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>it took all night. I kind of do too. I

327
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of do too. Just flinging body parts, right, right, right,

328
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>that's horrible. But so so here's the really cool thing.

329
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:48.799
<v Speaker 2>In Psalm one O three, King David says he refers

330
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:51.799
<v Speaker 2>to the angels as the mighty ones who do God's

331
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 2>bidding and who obey his word. So you think about that.

332
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 2>So for him to say, God is the Lord of

333
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Heaven's armies. So David had a pretty tough army, right,

334
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.759
<v Speaker 2>He was never defeated in a major battle. He never

335
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 2>lost his kingdom to outside armies. He defeated the people

336
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>who were always oppressing the Israelites up to that point,

337
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 2>there arch enemies. He was a pretty great warrior. The

338
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:20.879
<v Speaker 2>Bible describes only him. Does the Bible describe his mighty men.

339
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.240
<v Speaker 2>He had thirty mighty men, right, these mighty special forces guys,

340
00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.559
<v Speaker 2>and it talks about how absurdly effective and tough they were. Right,

341
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 2>So David is one of the great warrior kings of Israel,

342
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.519
<v Speaker 2>and he's talking about his God. Who's Who's the lord

343
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.840
<v Speaker 2>God of Heaven's armies? He's the ruler of Heaven's armies,

344
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>and one angel wipes out an army of one hundred

345
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.679
<v Speaker 2>and eighty five thousand. The Bible says he could have

346
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:49.919
<v Speaker 2>called ten thousand angels come and help Jesus, right, yeah,

347
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:56.200
<v Speaker 2>And then each one of these angels, according to Psalm

348
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>one O three, they're mighty ones who do God's bidding

349
00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and who obey his work.

350
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 1>Did I ever tell you about the moment when I, uh,

351
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>when I played that out and I described that scene,

352
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and then this kid in the youth group embarrassed me

353
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.759
<v Speaker 1>so literally. I was reading, I was reading from the scripture,

354
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and I said, I said, Jesus could have Jesus could

355
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>have called down ten thousand, and my whole point was

356
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I was trying to create a scenario where God could

357
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:20.400
<v Speaker 1>have done something right. But he didn't do it because

358
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>he went to the cross, because it says for the

359
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.559
<v Speaker 1>joy set before him. So I was preaching, right, so

360
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, I said, I said, so, so Jesus on

361
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the cross, I said, he looks up at the gray,

362
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>cloudy sky and he gives a single nod, I said,

363
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 1>and then one hundred thousand angels swooped down with flaming swords,

364
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and I said, and they circle all around, and all

365
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.240
<v Speaker 1>everybody there in the Roman camp was dismayed, and I said,

366
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and all these kind of things, I just created this

367
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>massive scenario, right, and they come over and they burn

368
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 1>his ropes, and all of a sudden, the spikes fall out,

369
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and then Jesus just jumps off the cross and you know,

370
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.839
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden he's healed, and and I'm doing

371
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:56.880
<v Speaker 1>all these things, and uh, you know, and then I

372
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>think I even described perhaps him going back up in

373
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the glory or something, right, you know, it gets on

374
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the cloud, turns around, you know whatever, and I get done,

375
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was about to go to the serious part.

376
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So I was having fun, right, just creating this movie

377
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 1>scene whatever. And then and then during the pause, I

378
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 1>was gonna say, but he didn't. And right for the pause,

379
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the kid goes, dude, you've seen way too many movies,

380
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and everybody laughed, and I'm like, there goes my dramatic effect, right,

381
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.559
<v Speaker 1>there goes everything I built for for the past three minutes.

382
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 1>He just destroyed it because he made everybody laugh.

383
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, anyway, Well it's that kind of power that

384
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>David then has so much confidence that Hey, my God,

385
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a king, and I know what it means to

386
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.319
<v Speaker 2>have power. But let me tell you I have just

387
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 2>a little shadow of power compared to the Lord of

388
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Heaven's armies.

389
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he's the.

390
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>One I'm relying so right, becka dust. So then there's

391
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 2>no wonder that this magnificent king says a single day

392
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else,

393
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.839
<v Speaker 2>that there is one Dayah, that's where the song comes from.

394
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.200
<v Speaker 2>He said, As a matter of fact, I'm the king.

395
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>My job is to be the shield for this nation.

396
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I need your power. But dude, I would just as

397
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>soon be the gatekeeper at your house yep, than to

398
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.079
<v Speaker 2>be the shield over my own house.

399
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Right.

400
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>And because the Lord God is our son, and he's

401
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.759
<v Speaker 2>our shield, and he's the one who gives us grace

402
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 2>and glory. And it's in that context that the Lord

403
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker 2>will withhold no good thing from those who do what

404
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 2>it's right. So he's trying to do his job, and

405
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.079
<v Speaker 2>he's trusting the fact that this incredibly powerful God will

406
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 2>provide everything I need. But he's also saying, man, of course,

407
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you deserve all of my worship, as if a king

408
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:52.799
<v Speaker 2>is willing to get down off of his own throne,

409
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 2>pull back his robes, and kneel before another king. Maybe

410
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 2>that's the king we should pay attention to. Yeah, right,

411
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.799
<v Speaker 2>that's great.

412
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.440
<v Speaker 1>You know what I love? I love this last verse.

413
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.319
<v Speaker 1>We can't overlook that verse because right after he leads

414
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 1>up to everything, and then he gives the promise that

415
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.880
<v Speaker 1>we were focusing on, which is, you know, he's our son,

416
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>our shields who give us grace and glory. He'll withhold

417
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:17.559
<v Speaker 1>no good thing for those who do it is right.

418
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.119
<v Speaker 1>And then he says, oh, Lord of Heaven's armies, what

419
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 1>joy for those who trust in you. So what he's

420
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Speaker 1>saying is, after all these promises, after everything that we

421
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 1>know about God being willing to not hold anything back.

422
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 1>He then adds and says, he's almost like reflecting on

423
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 1>this idea that God won't hold anything back for those

424
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>who do his right. And he says, oh, Lord of

425
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Heaven's Armies, what joy? And he doesn't describe anything else

426
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 1>other than Wow, how much joy is waiting for those

427
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>who trust in you? And I think that it sometimes

428
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>over sometimes is overlooked, because after all, this is at

429
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>its very root a giving verse, isn't it. This is

430
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.720
<v Speaker 1>a giving principle, well, not about us, it's a giving

431
00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 1>principle about God, who God is. And then and what

432
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>he's saying is when God gives, then joy you know

433
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>is waiting for us. And so therefore we could actually

434
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not just by principle based on who

435
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.279
<v Speaker 1>God is. We can apply that principle to our finances.

436
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.319
<v Speaker 1>In the financial verses, they talk about hey, as God

437
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 1>gives to us, we give back to God. And then

438
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 1>God promises to bless us in ways you know that

439
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.319
<v Speaker 1>we necessarily don't. You know, we can't necessarily determine the

440
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>ways that He blesses us, but we know they come

441
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:42.400
<v Speaker 1>with blessings, and so therefore we give back to God.

442
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 1>God gives us. We give back to God. And then

443
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.759
<v Speaker 1>what does God do? You cannot outgive God. So God

444
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.319
<v Speaker 1>then continues to give right and then we can apply

445
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:55.319
<v Speaker 1>this what joy waits for those who trust in you.

446
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.000
<v Speaker 1>So this principle that who God is can be applied

447
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 1>to any giving principle I believe.

448
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's awesome. Yeah, you know that phrase what joy?

449
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>It comes up in verse four, What joy for those

450
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.000
<v Speaker 2>who can live in your house always singing your praises.

451
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 2>In David's day, the Holy spirit didn't dwell in them.

452
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 2>They had to go to the temple to worship. Sure, right,

453
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 2>they had to go to God's house. Now in Corinthians,

454
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Paul tells us, we are God's temple, We are God's house,

455
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.839
<v Speaker 2>so we always have this joy that David only could

456
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>have when he was in the temple, right, right, So

457
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 2>you and I have it all the time. And then

458
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:35.359
<v Speaker 2>the next one says, what joy for those whose strength

459
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.039
<v Speaker 2>comes from the Lord who set their minds on a

460
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.160
<v Speaker 2>pilgrimage to Jerusalem. This set their minds on being able

461
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to go to God's temple. Well, you are God's temple,

462
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 2>so now at this point it's going to visit with God,

463
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:49.880
<v Speaker 2>going to spend time with God. Who've set their minds

464
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.079
<v Speaker 2>on spending time with God? What joy for those whose

465
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:55.359
<v Speaker 2>strength comes from the Lord? So he says, what joy

466
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.079
<v Speaker 2>for those who are able to always be singing your praises?

467
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.720
<v Speaker 2>What joy from them? For those who strength always comes

468
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.119
<v Speaker 2>from the Lord. And then, as you mentioned, what joy

469
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>for those who trust in you?

470
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, one God gives because he got one hold back.

471
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:12.640
<v Speaker 2>And you know why I think this is a thing,

472
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.960
<v Speaker 2>because right, in the middle. He says, help me out,

473
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 2>because I'm my nation's shield, and that's a big responsibility.

474
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm the king. You can imagine the stress of this,

475
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:31.240
<v Speaker 2>especially when it's always only invaders all the time.

476
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.079
<v Speaker 1>I think I was going to have the audacity to

477
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.920
<v Speaker 1>say I think so, but that is absurd. Yeah, I

478
00:23:35.960 --> 00:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>cannot even come close to I think so. So.

479
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I think the reason why he's saying, man, there's so

480
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 2>much joy for me when I understand my strength comes

481
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:48.880
<v Speaker 2>from the Lord. I got my part to do, but

482
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 2>there's even more joy just knowing I'm trusting him. It

483
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>takes all the pressure off, not all of it, you know,

484
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 2>he still has to have the strength to go out

485
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 2>and fight the battles and be the shield. But he says,

486
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm trusting you to be the shield. He says that earlier,

487
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:03.079
<v Speaker 2>and then he says, what joy there is when I'm

488
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:05.480
<v Speaker 2>just trusting you? He said, it takes a lot of

489
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>the pressure off of me because I'm finding my power

490
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and my strength in you, and so I don't have

491
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:17.480
<v Speaker 2>to be the man. I don't have to show up

492
00:24:17.519 --> 00:24:20.319
<v Speaker 2>with all the answers because I'm putting my faith and

493
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>trust in you. And I think what you're feeling is

494
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>the relief of a powerful man finding satisfaction and provision

495
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.599
<v Speaker 2>from a more powerful God.

496
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>That's good.

497
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 2>And that's what he's saying is I find a lot

498
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.359
<v Speaker 2>of joy in that. There's celebration, the whole thing is

499
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:35.559
<v Speaker 2>just it's all joy.

500
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well that's great.

501
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he's got a big job, but God's bigger.

502
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:42.359
<v Speaker 1>That's great. Well, hey, that's great insight about that chapter

503
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.279
<v Speaker 1>and that looks like our time, so hopefully we will

504
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.759
<v Speaker 1>see you back on Monday on the Bible.

505
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Guys,
