00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.260
 Hi, and welcome to the Willow Ridge Church weekly podcast.

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.880
 This is where you can find audio for our current and past sermons.

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:30.420
 We hope that you enjoy this week's installment, and be sure to check back next week to hear

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:31.260
 the latest message.

00:00:31.680 --> 00:00:32.460
 Thanks for listening.

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:46.120
 Amen.

00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:48.760
 If you've got your Bibles, open up to James chapter 4.

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:50.460
 That's where we're going to be this morning.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.780
 As you turn there, I want to remind everybody we are having the Lord's Supper today at the

00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:56.600
 end of the service.

00:00:56.860 --> 00:01:01.660
 And so, if you did not grab one of the Lord's Supper element cups on your way in, I want

00:01:01.660 --> 00:01:04.260
 to encourage you to head right back there right now and grab one of those.

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:09.180
 If you are visiting with us today, I just want to share with you, you do not have to be a

00:01:09.180 --> 00:01:12.980
 member of Willow Ridge Church in order to partake in the Lord's Supper together with us.

00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:17.420
 The only thing that we ask is that you be a believer in Jesus Christ, that you're a follower

00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:17.780
 of Him.

00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:22.900
 And if you are that, whether you go to a Presbyterian church or a Pentecostal church, we don't care,

00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:27.400
 and we'd love to have you partake in that with us this morning.

00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:30.120
 Also, I want to ask you guys to be praying this afternoon.

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:36.080
 Our Hispanic congregation is going to have their last day of revival this afternoon.

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.520
 And so, they'll be in here.

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.820
 A lot of visitors come.

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:41.920
 This is usually, they almost double their attendance on this Sunday.

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:45.920
 And so, it'll be an exciting time for their neighbors and their friends who haven't heard

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.660
 or haven't responded to the gospel to be here today, to have an opportunity to hear that.

00:01:49.940 --> 00:01:52.920
 So, if you think about it this afternoon, please be lifting them up.

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:54.780
 It's why I'm kind of dressed up today, all right?

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:59.200
 It's not Easter or Christmas Eve, but I'll be around for that.

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:01.280
 And Juan rocks a full suit every week.

00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:04.000
 And so, I felt like I could at least go this over my jeans.

00:02:04.300 --> 00:02:08.520
 So, we'll be worshiping with them this afternoon as well.

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:13.160
 So, we're going to dive right into James chapter 4, starting in verse 13.

00:02:13.820 --> 00:02:14.420
 It says this,

00:02:14.420 --> 00:02:21.560
 Come now, you who say, today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend

00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.080
 a year there and trade and make a profit.

00:02:24.980 --> 00:02:27.640
 Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:29.720
 What is your life?

00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:35.680
 For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.620
 Instead, you ought to say, if the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.

00:02:44.380 --> 00:02:47.520
 As it is, you boast in your arrogance.

00:02:48.380 --> 00:02:50.300
 All such boasting is evil.

00:02:51.220 --> 00:02:58.740
 So, whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him, it is sin.

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.340
 So, I hope as we've gone through this series so far in James, and I've gotten a lot of just

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:09.420
 wonderful feedback as God's been taking us through this book of the Bible, that every single week

00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:14.060
 that we together kind of walk out of here, if you think it's bad on Sunday mornings, like

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:19.160
 I get to walk through a week of it, right, of God invading those dark places in our heart

00:03:19.160 --> 00:03:21.780
 to reveal the sin that's there, right?

00:03:21.820 --> 00:03:24.260
 And I hope that every single week that that's where we're at.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:31.140
 Now, as I've studied this passage of Scripture this week, what it has been is a little progressive

00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:37.320
 of an avalanche of rolling down a hill toward me, of the clarity of what God's given to me

00:03:37.320 --> 00:03:43.720
 about the sinfulness of my heart as I've read this passage of Scripture and studied it this week.

00:03:44.420 --> 00:03:48.180
 And so, I want to open up by kind of throwing this out there and ask this question.

00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:53.560
 How many of you, and we're going to do a show of hands, all right, we're going to kind of see

00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.940
 where everyone's at this morning with this.

00:03:56.220 --> 00:04:01.260
 So, raise your hand if you consider yourself to be a planner.

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:02.480
 Raise your hand.

00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:03.020
 Raise your hand.

00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:04.080
 Give it to Steve.

00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:08.540
 Let's look at all of us that need to admit right now that we probably have a problem, all right?

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:12.960
 And our problem are those around us who do not plan, right?

00:04:12.980 --> 00:04:14.320
 That's our problem, right?

00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:15.640
 They drive us crazy, right?

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:16.440
 They don't plan.

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.900
 They're just living by whatever they want to do.

00:04:19.140 --> 00:04:20.160
 And we're there like, no, no, no.

00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:22.160
 Here's what the plan says.

00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:23.120
 And so, we've got to do it.

00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:24.560
 I'm a planner.

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:26.080
 I'm a planner.

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.100
 And here's how I know I'm a planner.

00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:33.100
 I love spreadsheets.

00:04:33.380 --> 00:04:34.200
 I love them.

00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:35.200
 I love them.

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:39.640
 God gave us spreadsheets, and I love spreadsheets.

00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:40.460
 Now, let me say this.

00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:48.060
 I've never done a mathematical formula on a spreadsheet in my life, but I can type up a

00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:49.960
 grocery list in a heartbeat on it, right?

00:04:50.460 --> 00:04:55.420
 And so, if you go on my computer, and you pull up Excel, and you look at all of the spreadsheets

00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:57.320
 that are there, you're not finding math.

00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.260
 You're finding lists of things to be done, lists of things to be accomplished.

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:02.800
 I love spreadsheets.

00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:07.600
 Here's how bad spreadsheets are for me and my family and in our house.

00:05:07.940 --> 00:05:11.140
 I have a spreadsheet for every vacation we go on.

00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:13.840
 I know, that's bad, right?

00:05:14.760 --> 00:05:18.140
 But on Monday, I can tell you where we're going and what we're doing.

00:05:18.700 --> 00:05:20.080
 I can tell you where we're going out to eat.

00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:21.100
 I can tell you what we're having for dinner.

00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:22.420
 I can tell you the activities that we're going on.

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.600
 And to the best of the knowledge that I can gain through Google searches, I can tell you

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.800
 how much it's going to cost for us to do that, right?

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:31.460
 I love spreadsheets.

00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:32.880
 It's a sickness.

00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.280
 The moment that I sat down and realized I'm creating spreadsheets for Disney World, right,

00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:42.700
 is the moment I've got to acknowledge that I've got a problem.

00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:48.380
 So, I read this passage of Scripture, and it kind of rubs me a little bit.

00:05:49.780 --> 00:05:52.860
 So, it's God saying, Bo, delete all your spreadsheets.

00:05:53.900 --> 00:05:55.480
 It's God saying, Bo, get rid of this.

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.900
 And I would say to you that this is not a passage of Scripture as we look into this that is a

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:07.240
 call for you and I to stop planning, to stop thinking about our future.

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:14.360
 This is not a passage of Scripture to have us to stop setting goals and the things that we want to see

00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.140
 and accomplish in our life.

00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:18.320
 But it seems like that.

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.160
 So, what is this Scripture referring us to?

00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:29.020
 And I would say that in these first several verses, until we get to verse 17,

00:06:29.020 --> 00:06:32.520
 what we're going to see is that it's not a call to stop planning,

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.160
 but rather, it's a call to humble submission.

00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:38.100
 It's a call to humble submission in our life.

00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:39.340
 Now, let's look back.

00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:41.220
 Let's read verses 13 through 16 again.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.500
 Come now, you who say,

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:47.640
 today or tomorrow,

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:50.440
 we will go into such and such a town

00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:52.620
 and spend a year there

00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:54.400
 and trade and make a profit.

00:06:55.220 --> 00:06:56.540
 So, this is the scenario.

00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:58.020
 This is the don't do this.

00:06:58.360 --> 00:06:58.920
 Verse 14.

00:07:00.020 --> 00:07:02.900
 Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.

00:07:03.940 --> 00:07:05.240
 What is your life?

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:11.680
 For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.660
 So, verse 15, what we should have.

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.800
 Instead, you ought to say,

00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:24.800
 if the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:31.760
 As it is, you boast, James says, in your arrogance.

00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:36.200
 So, this passage is calling us,

00:07:36.540 --> 00:07:38.220
 it's calling you, it's calling I,

00:07:38.460 --> 00:07:41.100
 to acknowledge who we are

00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:43.620
 in our limitations,

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.160
 in our planning,

00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:48.080
 in our thoughts,

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:49.580
 in our goals,

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:50.820
 in our hopes,

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:52.360
 in our dreams,

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.440
 to acknowledge who we are in those

00:07:55.440 --> 00:07:57.340
 in light of who God is.

00:07:58.340 --> 00:08:00.560
 And when we fail to do that,

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:02.560
 it's sin.

00:08:04.260 --> 00:08:08.700
 I love James' bluntness with this for us this morning.

00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.580
 It's not that it's just not wise

00:08:11.580 --> 00:08:12.800
 and you shouldn't do that.

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:15.980
 It's not that here's a better practice for your life.

00:08:16.940 --> 00:08:18.940
 It's when you and I cease to acknowledge

00:08:18.940 --> 00:08:22.100
 who we are in light of who God is

00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.720
 in every aspect of our life,

00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:26.420
 that's sin.

00:08:28.940 --> 00:08:30.480
 And James doesn't paint

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.420
 a horrific picture

00:08:32.420 --> 00:08:34.980
 of what you and I would commonly associate

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:36.920
 with when it comes to a person

00:08:36.920 --> 00:08:39.560
 who is shaking their fist at God

00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:41.560
 as they pursue the things of their life

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:42.340
 that they want.

00:08:42.660 --> 00:08:44.280
 Instead, he paints a picture

00:08:44.280 --> 00:08:45.660
 of what a town would look like

00:08:45.660 --> 00:08:47.240
 or a businessman would look like.

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:49.560
 Traveling from town to town.

00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:52.080
 This would have been a common illustration.

00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:54.560
 And James has given a warning

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:56.580
 to those who would read this.

00:08:56.920 --> 00:08:59.180
 James has given a warning for us today

00:08:59.180 --> 00:09:00.120
 that oftentimes,

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.160
 instead of viewing ourself,

00:09:02.460 --> 00:09:03.020
 our plans,

00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:03.820
 our agendas,

00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:04.680
 our goals

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:06.360
 in light of who God is,

00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:08.840
 we instead view them

00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.360
 in light of what the world is.

00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:14.140
 And in doing that,

00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:14.900
 right?

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.780
 And in doing that,

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.200
 what ends up happening

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.680
 is we focus on the material realm

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:22.700
 and not the spiritual realm.

00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:24.820
 We focus on the things of the world

00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:25.900
 instead of the things of God.

00:09:26.140 --> 00:09:27.720
 We keep our eyes locked on us

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:29.980
 instead of our eyes locked on Him.

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:31.940
 And so James is,

00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:33.640
 as he works through this,

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:35.360
 is talking about your plan

00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.420
 and underline is asking us this,

00:09:38.740 --> 00:09:41.860
 does God have a place in your plan?

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:45.980
 In the plan that you're living out right now,

00:09:46.940 --> 00:09:49.220
 maybe you're a high schooler in here today

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.800
 and you've got a plan for after high school.

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.180
 It's military,

00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:54.520
 it's career,

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:55.680
 it's college.

00:09:56.060 --> 00:09:57.040
 Is God in the plan?

00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:00.500
 Maybe you're married with some kids

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:01.480
 and you see that debt

00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.040
 that's stacked up on one side

00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:04.540
 of your spreadsheet, right?

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:09.020
 And you've got a plan to attack that debt.

00:10:09.640 --> 00:10:10.980
 Is God in the plan?

00:10:12.400 --> 00:10:14.200
 Maybe you're getting closer and closer

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.220
 to retirement

00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:17.460
 and you know that day

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.880
 and you've got it highlighted,

00:10:20.380 --> 00:10:21.720
 you've got it circled,

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.820
 you've got exclamation points

00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:26.180
 written all over it, right?

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.880
 Is God in that plan?

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.160
 It's God in that plan.

00:10:32.280 --> 00:10:35.020
 James is asking us the question,

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:38.460
 in your life and in my life,

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:42.780
 does God have a place in it, right?

00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:48.080
 And so when we take our eyes off of him

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.120
 and we keep our eyes on us

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.020
 and God is void of that,

00:10:54.540 --> 00:10:56.100
 James draws out some things

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:57.500
 that you and I forget about ourselves.

00:10:58.160 --> 00:10:59.560
 Sometimes we have to have reminders

00:10:59.560 --> 00:11:01.440
 of our own limitations, amen?

00:11:02.060 --> 00:11:02.900
 We are limited.

00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:07.160
 And things that James points us to in this

00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:09.280
 is the things that we forget

00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:10.640
 when we leave God out of our plans.

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.960
 Number one, we forget our ignorance.

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.280
 We forget our ignorance.

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.120
 James says this,

00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:19.520
 you do not know

00:11:19.520 --> 00:11:23.400
 what tomorrow will bring, right?

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.340
 This morning I woke up.

00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:27.720
 I heard a sound outside.

00:11:28.820 --> 00:11:29.700
 What's that sound?

00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:31.040
 It's rain.

00:11:31.640 --> 00:11:32.500
 I didn't know it was going to rain.

00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:35.440
 We don't know what tomorrow will bring.

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.820
 We don't know what the future holds.

00:11:38.060 --> 00:11:38.280
 Why?

00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:40.120
 Because you and I are limited

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:41.380
 into the moment right now.

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:44.500
 As best as we can,

00:11:45.100 --> 00:11:46.500
 we take educated guesses

00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:47.940
 about what tomorrow will hold.

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:49.680
 We take educated guesses

00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:51.980
 about what the next hour will hold.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.640
 But we're ignorant

00:11:54.640 --> 00:11:57.360
 because we're not in tomorrow.

00:11:57.760 --> 00:11:58.300
 And here's,

00:11:58.580 --> 00:11:59.500
 without looking at your phone

00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:00.680
 because some of you got cameras

00:12:00.680 --> 00:12:01.840
 and updates and all those things,

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:02.800
 here's my point.

00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:04.400
 There's no place in your life

00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:05.180
 that you know better

00:12:05.180 --> 00:12:06.400
 than your home right now.

00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:08.480
 But what's happening there?

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.820
 You don't know.

00:12:12.020 --> 00:12:12.900
 You don't have a clue.

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:16.040
 And this is what James is pointing us to.

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.460
 How crazy is it

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:22.040
 for us to leave God out,

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.060
 the one who knows what tomorrow will bring,

00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.500
 when we don't know what tomorrow will bring,

00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:29.380
 but we make plans

00:12:29.380 --> 00:12:30.480
 of what will happen tomorrow.

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:32.260
 All right?

00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:33.000
 He says,

00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:33.700
 do you not know

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:35.120
 what tomorrow will bring?

00:12:35.160 --> 00:12:36.620
 So we forget our ignorance.

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:37.540
 We don't know.

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:38.420
 We can't know.

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:39.860
 Number two,

00:12:40.020 --> 00:12:41.780
 we forget our frailty.

00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:44.560
 I love the bluntness of this, right?

00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:44.840
 Like,

00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:47.440
 if you believe the Bible

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.020
 and believe you're a big deal,

00:12:49.280 --> 00:12:50.880
 let this verse sink in.

00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:53.880
 You are a mist

00:12:53.880 --> 00:12:56.200
 that appears

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.440
 for a little time

00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.800
 and then vanishes.

00:13:02.560 --> 00:13:04.680
 That's the description he gives us.

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:05.680
 Right?

00:13:06.160 --> 00:13:07.680
 Not necessarily what would go great

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:08.560
 on a Hallmark card.

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:09.200
 Right?

00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:10.520
 Congratulations.

00:13:11.520 --> 00:13:12.300
 You're a vapor.

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:13.260
 You're gone.

00:13:13.380 --> 00:13:13.620
 Right?

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:15.100
 And that's it.

00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:17.340
 But our frailty.

00:13:18.260 --> 00:13:20.300
 Not only do we not know

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:22.040
 what will happen tomorrow,

00:13:22.260 --> 00:13:24.260
 but we know

00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:26.480
 that we're not even promised tomorrow.

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:28.660
 We're not even promised

00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:30.000
 the next minute.

00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:31.860
 And you know this,

00:13:31.880 --> 00:13:33.160
 and here's how you know this.

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:35.440
 Has death ever surprised you?

00:13:36.420 --> 00:13:36.940
 Absolutely.

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:41.200
 Not everyone lives

00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.960
 to the old age

00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:43.920
 when the doctor says

00:13:43.920 --> 00:13:44.960
 this is what's going to happen.

00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:47.720
 We're filled with the reality

00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:48.540
 that every day

00:13:48.540 --> 00:13:50.600
 that those who are close to us,

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:52.000
 those who are around us,

00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.960
 those who think

00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.200
 tomorrow will be

00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.240
 a certainty,

00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:56.220
 next year,

00:13:56.420 --> 00:13:56.840
 definitely.

00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:58.540
 And here's what this looks like

00:13:58.540 --> 00:13:59.420
 when all of a sudden

00:13:59.420 --> 00:14:00.640
 we get the phone call

00:14:00.640 --> 00:14:03.540
 and death has surprised us.

00:14:04.420 --> 00:14:06.020
 And it's gone.

00:14:07.300 --> 00:14:07.980
 And James says,

00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:09.800
 why should we be surprised

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:11.180
 that you and I

00:14:11.180 --> 00:14:12.120
 are like a mist

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:13.120
 that appears

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.000
 for a little time

00:14:14.540 --> 00:14:16.180
 and then vanishes

00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:16.980
 is what he says.

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.120
 And then lastly,

00:14:19.420 --> 00:14:21.000
 for us in this,

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:22.180
 when we make plans

00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:23.420
 and we exclude God

00:14:23.420 --> 00:14:24.260
 from them,

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:24.500
 right,

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:26.240
 we forget our dependence

00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:26.840
 on God.

00:14:27.640 --> 00:14:28.500
 Like that's it

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:29.540
 for our life, folks.

00:14:30.740 --> 00:14:32.220
 We depend on him.

00:14:33.780 --> 00:14:34.680
 And some of us

00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:35.380
 have taken this

00:14:35.380 --> 00:14:37.500
 this confused

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:39.040
 version,

00:14:40.020 --> 00:14:41.320
 this incorrect version

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:42.220
 of Christianity

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:43.940
 that says,

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:45.320
 I'm going to depend

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.300
 on God

00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:47.340
 for my salvation.

00:14:48.520 --> 00:14:49.180
 It's Jesus

00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:50.180
 and only Jesus

00:14:50.180 --> 00:14:51.520
 who can save me.

00:14:51.640 --> 00:14:52.560
 And that's true.

00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.360
 And here's where

00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:55.580
 the incorrect comes.

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.140
 But everything else

00:14:57.140 --> 00:14:57.760
 is through me.

00:14:58.820 --> 00:14:59.620
 Everything else

00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:00.880
 is through my power.

00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:01.860
 Everything else

00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:02.880
 is through my ability.

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:03.440
 Do you remember

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:03.980
 last week

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:05.120
 when James is talking,

00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:05.720
 we were talking about this

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:06.220
 and James says,

00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:07.440
 you adulterous people?

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:08.980
 That's part of it.

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:10.540
 That's part of spiritual adultery

00:15:10.540 --> 00:15:11.740
 that we've wandered

00:15:11.740 --> 00:15:13.240
 into this relationship

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.500
 with ourselves

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.520
 where we're dependent

00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:16.360
 on us.

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:17.180
 And James says,

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:17.660
 no, no, no,

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:18.600
 that's not it.

00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:19.280
 In fact,

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:19.620
 James says,

00:15:19.780 --> 00:15:21.220
 here's the correct posturing

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:22.220
 of your spirit

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.560
 and dependence on the Lord.

00:15:23.780 --> 00:15:25.080
 If the Lord will,

00:15:25.400 --> 00:15:26.400
 we will live

00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:27.660
 and do this

00:15:27.660 --> 00:15:28.620
 or do that.

00:15:29.420 --> 00:15:30.920
 If God wills it,

00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:32.760
 if it's in his will,

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:33.840
 if it's in his plan,

00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:35.000
 if it's in his purpose

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.000
 for my life,

00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:37.180
 then we will do this

00:15:37.180 --> 00:15:38.500
 or we will do that.

00:15:39.280 --> 00:15:39.380
 Right?

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:41.660
 This is what we begin to see,

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.000
 the dependence on him.

00:15:44.660 --> 00:15:45.940
 And so the problem, though,

00:15:46.180 --> 00:15:47.260
 because James says,

00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:48.080
 there's a plan.

00:15:48.680 --> 00:15:49.480
 There's a plan.

00:15:49.880 --> 00:15:50.880
 And if God wills it,

00:15:50.940 --> 00:15:51.720
 we will do this

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:52.380
 or do that.

00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:53.160
 But what's implied?

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.360
 If God doesn't,

00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:55.760
 if God's not a part of it,

00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.680
 then we won't.

00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:59.160
 The problem isn't planning.

00:15:59.560 --> 00:16:00.800
 The problem is planning

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:02.720
 where God has no place

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:03.560
 in the plan.

00:16:05.820 --> 00:16:06.680
 And this has caused me

00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:07.120
 this week

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.580
 to take a step back

00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:11.220
 and look at the spreadsheets

00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:11.960
 of my life,

00:16:13.060 --> 00:16:13.940
 the decisions

00:16:13.940 --> 00:16:14.700
 and the plans

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:15.200
 and the things

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:15.620
 that are there

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:16.920
 and asking myself

00:16:16.920 --> 00:16:17.560
 the question,

00:16:17.820 --> 00:16:18.600
 the hard question

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:19.380
 and so many of these,

00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.760
 but where's God at

00:16:21.760 --> 00:16:22.700
 that end the plan?

00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:25.980
 Is he a bullet point?

00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:29.640
 Or is he saturated

00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:30.800
 throughout?

00:16:32.140 --> 00:16:33.460
 And this is not

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:34.200
 what James

00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.040
 is just coming up with.

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.480
 This is what Jesus teaches.

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:40.440
 Look at Matthew chapter 6,

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:43.380
 verse 9.

00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:45.360
 Jesus is teaching on prayer

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.240
 at the Sermon on the Mount.

00:16:47.760 --> 00:16:48.860
 And he says

00:16:48.860 --> 00:16:49.780
 at the very beginning

00:16:49.780 --> 00:16:50.420
 of that,

00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:52.020
 as he's going to tell them

00:16:52.020 --> 00:16:52.620
 and teach them

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.240
 how to pray,

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:54.080
 he says,

00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:55.080
 don't pray

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:56.520
 like the hypocrites,

00:16:57.040 --> 00:16:57.760
 which means this,

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:59.160
 there's a wrong way

00:16:59.160 --> 00:16:59.660
 to pray.

00:17:00.660 --> 00:17:01.140
 Hypocrites

00:17:01.140 --> 00:17:02.120
 pray.

00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:03.320
 Jesus says,

00:17:03.420 --> 00:17:04.580
 don't pray like them.

00:17:05.260 --> 00:17:06.860
 And then Jesus teaches

00:17:06.860 --> 00:17:08.540
 us how to pray.

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:09.780
 And he says,

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:11.260
 our Father in heaven,

00:17:11.580 --> 00:17:12.760
 hallowed be your name.

00:17:13.800 --> 00:17:15.060
 Your kingdom come,

00:17:15.600 --> 00:17:17.140
 your will be done

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:18.900
 on earth

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:20.600
 as it is in heaven.

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.800
 Give us this day

00:17:22.800 --> 00:17:24.080
 our daily bread

00:17:24.080 --> 00:17:25.640
 and forgive us

00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:26.560
 our debts

00:17:26.560 --> 00:17:28.620
 as we also have forgiven

00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:29.580
 our debtors.

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.440
 And lead us not

00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:32.440
 into temptation,

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.060
 but deliver us

00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:36.500
 from evil.

00:17:37.580 --> 00:17:38.800
 There's so much

00:17:38.800 --> 00:17:39.720
 that can be taught about

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.340
 and I believe

00:17:40.340 --> 00:17:41.880
 several years ago

00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:42.860
 we went through this

00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:43.780
 and each one

00:17:43.780 --> 00:17:44.580
 of these verses

00:17:44.580 --> 00:17:45.740
 became a message

00:17:45.740 --> 00:17:46.340
 in a series

00:17:46.340 --> 00:17:47.420
 where we talked

00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:47.940
 about prayer.

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.260
 But I want to focus

00:17:49.260 --> 00:17:50.840
 on verse 10.

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:53.460
 Your kingdom come,

00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.940
 your will be done.

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:58.220
 What Jesus has

00:17:58.220 --> 00:17:59.740
 is he places this

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:00.740
 in this prayer

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:02.080
 as he's teaching those

00:18:02.080 --> 00:18:02.980
 to not pray

00:18:02.980 --> 00:18:04.000
 like the hypocrites.

00:18:04.360 --> 00:18:05.000
 Jesus says,

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:05.480
 hey, hey,

00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:07.560
 as you praise the Lord

00:18:07.560 --> 00:18:09.880
 and as you plea

00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:10.580
 for him

00:18:10.580 --> 00:18:11.420
 to give you

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:12.320
 the necessities

00:18:12.320 --> 00:18:12.980
 of life

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:14.120
 and forgiveness,

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:16.820
 put this phrase

00:18:16.820 --> 00:18:17.460
 in there

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:18.760
 that says

00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:19.400
 what you

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.940
 and I desire

00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:22.700
 is the will

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:23.700
 of God

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.880
 and the rule

00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:25.700
 and reign

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:27.220
 in our life

00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:28.560
 and all over

00:18:28.560 --> 00:18:29.160
 the earth.

00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:31.880
 that's the desire

00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:33.120
 of our hearts.

00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:36.380
 Now look at your prayer.

00:18:37.580 --> 00:18:38.560
 Look at my prayer.

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.480
 Jesus says,

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.220
 let your will be done.

00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:46.400
 That's the standard.

00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.420
 That's what Jesus says

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:49.420
 we should desire.

00:18:49.840 --> 00:18:50.820
 That's what Jesus says

00:18:50.820 --> 00:18:51.920
 we should long for.

00:18:52.620 --> 00:18:53.580
 But oftentimes,

00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:55.380
 your prayers

00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:57.080
 and mine

00:18:57.080 --> 00:18:59.100
 as we're called

00:18:59.100 --> 00:18:59.860
 to submit

00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:01.200
 to his plans

00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.700
 oftentimes reflect

00:19:03.700 --> 00:19:04.240
 our prayers

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.600
 say,

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.180
 but God,

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:05.780
 I just want you

00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:06.380
 to submit

00:19:06.380 --> 00:19:07.400
 to my plans

00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:08.880
 and Lord,

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:09.660
 I'm going to ask you

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.320
 to bless them.

00:19:11.320 --> 00:19:11.400
 Right?

00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:12.720
 The positioning

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.100
 of the heart

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:15.880
 and Jesus says,

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:16.020
 no,

00:19:16.040 --> 00:19:16.140
 no,

00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:17.040
 that's not what

00:19:17.040 --> 00:19:17.980
 it's supposed to be.

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.060
 It's not about

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:19.740
 bringing what

00:19:19.740 --> 00:19:20.480
 you've determined,

00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:21.720
 what you've decided,

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.880
 what you've sought,

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:24.120
 what you want

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:24.560
 and say,

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:25.440
 God bless it.

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:28.000
 It's about saying,

00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:28.220
 God,

00:19:28.280 --> 00:19:29.100
 what I desire

00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:31.520
 is your will

00:19:31.520 --> 00:19:32.780
 to be done.

00:19:33.340 --> 00:19:33.940
 And Jesus

00:19:33.940 --> 00:19:34.960
 doesn't simply say,

00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:36.040
 don't do this.

00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:37.360
 Jesus does this

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:37.960
 himself.

00:19:38.220 --> 00:19:38.900
 Let's flip over

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.380
 to Matthew

00:19:39.380 --> 00:19:40.480
 chapter 26.

00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:43.480
 Jesus in the garden

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.600
 of Gethsemane

00:19:44.600 --> 00:19:47.000
 as he awaits

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.020
 his betrayal,

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:50.140
 as he awaits

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.060
 his arrest,

00:19:51.760 --> 00:19:52.860
 as he awaits

00:19:52.860 --> 00:19:53.580
 his beating,

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:55.360
 as he awaits

00:19:55.360 --> 00:19:56.180
 his trial,

00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:57.940
 as he awaits

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:59.060
 his crucifixion,

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.960
 could argue

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.740
 that you and I,

00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:03.960
 if we're being honest,

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:04.880
 don't have

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:05.720
 a fraction

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:07.180
 of understanding

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:08.120
 of what he's

00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:08.820
 experiencing

00:20:08.820 --> 00:20:09.900
 in this moment.

00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.500
 He comes to the Lord

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:14.660
 in prayer

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:16.800
 and says again,

00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:17.420
 Scripture tells us

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:18.340
 verse 42,

00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:20.380
 again for the second time

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:21.580
 he went away

00:20:21.580 --> 00:20:22.240
 and prayed,

00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:23.380
 my father,

00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:25.320
 if this cannot pass

00:20:25.320 --> 00:20:26.960
 unless I drink it,

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:28.280
 your will be done.

00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:31.720
 Not trying to bend

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.980
 for what he would prefer,

00:20:34.540 --> 00:20:35.540
 not trying to input

00:20:35.540 --> 00:20:37.080
 a different strategy

00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:38.040
 into place,

00:20:39.100 --> 00:20:41.180
 but simply says,

00:20:41.820 --> 00:20:43.680
 your will

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.180
 be done.

00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:48.620
 And so James here,

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.540
 I've heard this

00:20:49.540 --> 00:20:50.500
 kind of talked about

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:51.280
 before loosely

00:20:51.280 --> 00:20:52.200
 in conversations

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:53.300
 and then asked

00:20:53.300 --> 00:20:53.760
 the question,

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:54.920
 is James 4,

00:20:55.020 --> 00:20:56.240
 13 through 16

00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:56.980
 just saying like,

00:20:57.060 --> 00:20:57.460
 well you know what,

00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.320
 God's gonna do

00:20:58.320 --> 00:20:59.240
 what God's gonna do

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:00.020
 and so we're just

00:21:00.020 --> 00:21:01.060
 gonna sit back in it.

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:02.700
 It's not what James

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.540
 is talking about.

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:05.400
 James is talking

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:06.600
 about an activity

00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:07.960
 in those

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:08.980
 who are believers

00:21:08.980 --> 00:21:10.100
 that are humbly

00:21:10.100 --> 00:21:10.720
 dependent

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.500
 and humbly

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:13.600
 submissive

00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:15.200
 to the Son of God

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:16.100
 and the will of God

00:21:16.100 --> 00:21:17.560
 and who long

00:21:17.560 --> 00:21:19.260
 for both of those.

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:21.160
 Oh, tell me Lord

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.280
 what you want for me.

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:23.880
 Tell me Lord

00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:25.600
 what you have for me.

00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:28.120
 And so I was reading

00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:29.440
 an author this week

00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:30.060
 that was talking

00:21:30.060 --> 00:21:30.620
 about this

00:21:30.620 --> 00:21:31.600
 and he was talking

00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:32.860
 about strategies

00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:34.500
 and long range planning

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.460
 and thinking through this

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:36.480
 and here's what he said,

00:21:36.540 --> 00:21:36.880
 I'm gonna put these

00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:37.400
 three points

00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:38.300
 on the screen

00:21:38.300 --> 00:21:39.060
 behind me.

00:21:39.260 --> 00:21:39.580
 He said,

00:21:39.580 --> 00:21:40.480
 when planning,

00:21:41.560 --> 00:21:42.820
 dedicate your plans

00:21:42.820 --> 00:21:43.280
 to God.

00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:45.060
 When planning,

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:47.320
 dedicate your plans

00:21:47.320 --> 00:21:48.460
 to God.

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:50.400
 So you're coming

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.400
 to the planning process

00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.580
 of what you're thinking

00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:53.860
 about,

00:21:54.060 --> 00:21:55.160
 whether it's the planning

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:56.460
 process about what

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:57.380
 you do after high school

00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:58.020
 graduation

00:21:58.020 --> 00:21:58.920
 or the planning

00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.600
 of the process

00:21:59.600 --> 00:22:00.460
 for retirement

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:01.740
 or anywhere in between,

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.680
 anywhere before,

00:22:03.020 --> 00:22:03.820
 anywhere after

00:22:03.820 --> 00:22:04.640
 and you say,

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:04.860
 God,

00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:05.720
 I'm gonna dedicate

00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:06.840
 these plans to you.

00:22:07.040 --> 00:22:08.060
 So what does that mean?

00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:09.440
 What does that mean?

00:22:09.660 --> 00:22:10.740
 Dedicate your plans.

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:11.980
 That you're saying

00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:12.760
 that the goal

00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:14.260
 of these plans

00:22:14.260 --> 00:22:15.820
 is for your name

00:22:15.820 --> 00:22:16.900
 and your glory.

00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:18.020
 That's it.

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.520
 That's it.

00:22:20.560 --> 00:22:21.700
 It's not for zeros

00:22:21.700 --> 00:22:22.540
 in a bank account.

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:25.080
 It's not for a degree

00:22:25.080 --> 00:22:25.880
 that we can earn

00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:26.440
 and achieve.

00:22:27.320 --> 00:22:29.000
 It's not for anything else

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.220
 other than God.

00:22:30.560 --> 00:22:31.540
 These plans

00:22:31.540 --> 00:22:32.760
 are for you,

00:22:33.100 --> 00:22:33.920
 your name,

00:22:34.060 --> 00:22:35.000
 and your glory.

00:22:35.180 --> 00:22:35.840
 That's it.

00:22:37.040 --> 00:22:37.980
 And when they cease

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:39.020
 to not be that,

00:22:40.280 --> 00:22:41.360
 or then bring me back

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:42.360
 to where they need to be.

00:22:43.260 --> 00:22:44.180
 Dedicate your plans

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:44.680
 to God.

00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:45.600
 Number two,

00:22:46.900 --> 00:22:48.060
 confess that you need

00:22:48.060 --> 00:22:48.660
 God's favor.

00:22:49.800 --> 00:22:50.720
 Confess that you need

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.300
 God's favor.

00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.740
 One of the things

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.800
 that I love to ask

00:22:54.800 --> 00:22:55.940
 my kids

00:22:55.940 --> 00:22:56.760
 and people

00:22:56.760 --> 00:22:57.320
 is a question

00:22:57.320 --> 00:22:57.760
 that I love

00:22:57.760 --> 00:22:58.520
 to ask myself

00:22:58.520 --> 00:22:59.820
 when you have a goal

00:22:59.820 --> 00:23:02.460
 to ask the question,

00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:02.680
 well,

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.520
 what's the plan?

00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:05.520
 And what I mean by that is,

00:23:05.760 --> 00:23:06.340
 what are you going to do

00:23:06.340 --> 00:23:06.840
 to get there?

00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.220
 What are you going to do

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:08.620
 to get there?

00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:10.380
 Help me walk through

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:11.660
 and see this step

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:12.260
 and this step

00:23:12.260 --> 00:23:12.820
 and this step

00:23:12.820 --> 00:23:13.320
 and this step

00:23:13.320 --> 00:23:13.940
 and make sure

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:15.020
 that all of those steps

00:23:15.020 --> 00:23:15.780
 and that we're not

00:23:15.780 --> 00:23:16.720
 leaving anything out.

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:17.720
 And then at the end of it,

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.820
 what we see

00:23:18.820 --> 00:23:20.480
 is that we've arrived to this

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:21.740
 and we can do that

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:23.300
 and simply embrace that

00:23:23.300 --> 00:23:23.920
 in our life.

00:23:24.020 --> 00:23:25.080
 But when we come to,

00:23:25.320 --> 00:23:25.460
 Lord,

00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:26.460
 if this is where

00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:27.500
 you are leading us,

00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:28.620
 that we know

00:23:28.620 --> 00:23:30.460
 in our obedience to you,

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:31.580
 we cannot do it

00:23:31.580 --> 00:23:32.960
 in our own power.

00:23:33.260 --> 00:23:33.760
 And so, Lord,

00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:34.820
 we're going to confess

00:23:34.820 --> 00:23:35.780
 that in order

00:23:35.780 --> 00:23:36.760
 for that to happen,

00:23:36.900 --> 00:23:37.620
 it's not going to be

00:23:37.620 --> 00:23:38.400
 through my talent,

00:23:38.600 --> 00:23:39.160
 it's not going to be

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:40.060
 through my ability,

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:40.940
 but it's going to be done

00:23:40.940 --> 00:23:42.960
 solely through the favor

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.940
 of the holy

00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:45.020
 and living God.

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.940
 And that's it.

00:23:49.340 --> 00:23:50.980
 And I need to confess that

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:52.240
 to you.

00:23:53.540 --> 00:23:53.700
 Right?

00:23:54.460 --> 00:23:54.900
 So,

00:23:55.340 --> 00:23:56.060
 James says,

00:23:57.380 --> 00:23:58.660
 instead you ought to say,

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:01.260
 if the Lord wills,

00:24:01.840 --> 00:24:03.040
 we will live

00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:04.600
 and do this

00:24:04.600 --> 00:24:05.960
 and do that.

00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:08.660
 If it's His favor,

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:09.620
 right,

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:11.300
 that's what we will do.

00:24:12.360 --> 00:24:13.800
 One of the best questions

00:24:13.800 --> 00:24:15.800
 that I love to ask myself

00:24:15.800 --> 00:24:17.060
 all the time

00:24:17.060 --> 00:24:18.000
 is,

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:19.900
 as we're working through

00:24:19.900 --> 00:24:21.300
 whatever it is

00:24:21.300 --> 00:24:22.560
 that we're doing,

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.160
 is God in it?

00:24:25.100 --> 00:24:26.180
 Is God in it?

00:24:27.280 --> 00:24:28.080
 Let's don't get

00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:29.240
 ourselves confused

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:30.560
 the difference

00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:32.100
 between earthly success

00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:33.640
 and heavenly success.

00:24:34.840 --> 00:24:35.560
 Earthly success

00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:36.480
 can bring a lot of money,

00:24:36.580 --> 00:24:37.040
 a lot of fame,

00:24:37.100 --> 00:24:37.680
 a lot of power,

00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:38.460
 a lot of control.

00:24:40.040 --> 00:24:40.320
 Right?

00:24:40.820 --> 00:24:42.180
 But it's earthly success

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:43.200
 void of God.

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:44.780
 And so as we go through these,

00:24:45.040 --> 00:24:45.820
 we ask ourselves,

00:24:46.140 --> 00:24:46.900
 is God in it?

00:24:46.980 --> 00:24:48.000
 Which may mean

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.120
 at certain points in time

00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:50.680
 we have to re-evaluate

00:24:50.680 --> 00:24:51.400
 our scorecard.

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:54.080
 Because it might not end up

00:24:54.080 --> 00:24:54.500
 with the money

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:55.240
 in the bank account

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.160
 with the early retirement

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:57.060
 that we hoped for

00:24:57.060 --> 00:24:57.620
 with the plans

00:24:57.620 --> 00:24:58.280
 that were there,

00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.740
 but those were our scorecards,

00:24:59.840 --> 00:25:00.540
 our determination

00:25:00.540 --> 00:25:02.300
 of what success is.

00:25:03.260 --> 00:25:03.560
 Right?

00:25:04.560 --> 00:25:04.960
 Instead,

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:06.000
 asking God,

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.640
 are you in it

00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.100
 and where do we see you

00:25:09.100 --> 00:25:09.960
 moving?

00:25:10.820 --> 00:25:11.900
 And then lastly,

00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:13.000
 when planning,

00:25:13.280 --> 00:25:15.140
 we need to give God praise.

00:25:15.980 --> 00:25:17.120
 Give God praise.

00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:19.460
 All right.

00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:24.960
 I stand right about over here

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:26.020
 for worship.

00:25:27.040 --> 00:25:29.280
 And if you sit behind me,

00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:32.280
 what you see sometimes

00:25:32.280 --> 00:25:35.300
 is like this really controlled,

00:25:35.520 --> 00:25:35.860
 awkward,

00:25:36.060 --> 00:25:37.260
 I think I want to start dancing

00:25:37.260 --> 00:25:37.760
 kind of thing.

00:25:37.840 --> 00:25:38.020
 Right?

00:25:38.260 --> 00:25:39.040
 Like y'all know.

00:25:39.140 --> 00:25:39.740
 Like Brian Couch,

00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:40.880
 like you've seen that before,

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.140
 right?

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:41.480
 There we go.

00:25:41.540 --> 00:25:41.660
 All right.

00:25:42.120 --> 00:25:43.380
 And so that song,

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.140
 Honey in the Rock,

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:44.900
 I'm just going to tell you,

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:46.040
 like there's the part of me

00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:46.900
 that's like,

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:48.840
 I'm afraid I may make a noise

00:25:48.840 --> 00:25:49.440
 really loud

00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:50.220
 and it would get uncomfortable

00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:50.760
 in here, right?

00:25:50.760 --> 00:25:51.440
 When that's going on,

00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.160
 like a woo could happen here

00:25:53.160 --> 00:25:54.480
 at any point in time.

00:25:54.600 --> 00:25:55.880
 So next time we play that song,

00:25:55.900 --> 00:25:56.500
 if you hear that,

00:25:56.540 --> 00:25:57.720
 just like that's Bo over there,

00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:57.860
 right?

00:25:57.940 --> 00:25:58.240
 Woo!

00:25:58.440 --> 00:25:59.140
 Like just doing that,

00:25:59.200 --> 00:25:59.380
 okay?

00:25:59.700 --> 00:25:59.980
 All right?

00:26:00.120 --> 00:26:01.720
 Because the picture

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:03.100
 of what it paints

00:26:03.100 --> 00:26:04.640
 is so wonderful

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.940
 and so beautiful.

00:26:07.620 --> 00:26:08.620
 Then in the moment

00:26:08.620 --> 00:26:09.340
 of all this,

00:26:09.520 --> 00:26:10.600
 there's honey in the rock

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:11.700
 that God is working,

00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:12.840
 that God is moving,

00:26:13.080 --> 00:26:14.100
 that God is blessing,

00:26:14.380 --> 00:26:15.560
 that God is providing,

00:26:15.760 --> 00:26:17.440
 and in that we praise Him.

00:26:18.520 --> 00:26:19.680
 And there's not a moment

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.100
 in your life

00:26:21.100 --> 00:26:23.680
 as a follower of Jesus

00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:25.780
 that that song

00:26:25.780 --> 00:26:26.980
 isn't speaking true

00:26:26.980 --> 00:26:28.220
 in what you're going through

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:30.900
 regardless of how dry

00:26:30.900 --> 00:26:31.860
 that rock seems.

00:26:33.760 --> 00:26:34.780
 And so as we go through

00:26:34.780 --> 00:26:35.580
 the plan,

00:26:36.260 --> 00:26:37.140
 as we go through,

00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:38.500
 as we work to achieve

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:39.020
 the goals,

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:40.200
 there's the tendency

00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:42.040
 and there's the bent in us

00:26:42.040 --> 00:26:43.480
 to at the end of it

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:44.960
 celebrate the Lord.

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.820
 But the picture of this

00:26:49.820 --> 00:26:50.560
 is all the way through.

00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:53.140
 All the way through.

00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:54.880
 That every lesson

00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:56.040
 is God working.

00:26:56.860 --> 00:26:57.520
 Every moment

00:26:57.520 --> 00:26:58.440
 is God showing.

00:26:59.000 --> 00:26:59.640
 Every moment

00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.560
 is God revealing

00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:03.900
 to us who He is.

00:27:05.020 --> 00:27:07.040
 So not only at the end

00:27:07.040 --> 00:27:09.260
 do we praise Him for it,

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:12.060
 but as we're going through it,

00:27:12.600 --> 00:27:13.560
 we're praising Him

00:27:13.560 --> 00:27:14.460
 for the process

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:16.300
 and the good

00:27:16.300 --> 00:27:17.940
 and in the bad.

00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:19.920
 And here,

00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:22.200
 here is why

00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:24.040
 I say this is about

00:27:24.040 --> 00:27:25.000
 humble submission.

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:27.580
 That we're saying

00:27:27.580 --> 00:27:29.020
 at the heart

00:27:29.020 --> 00:27:30.240
 of this

00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.480
 that James gives us

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.420
 is an individual

00:27:33.420 --> 00:27:34.100
 who just says,

00:27:34.180 --> 00:27:34.320
 God,

00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:35.600
 I want to know

00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:37.000
 what you have for me.

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.180
 And I will do

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:40.160
 what you say do.

00:27:40.600 --> 00:27:41.520
 I will go

00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:42.620
 where you say go.

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:44.360
 I will give you

00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:45.200
 all the credit,

00:27:45.360 --> 00:27:46.080
 all the praise,

00:27:46.280 --> 00:27:47.200
 all the honor,

00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:48.720
 all the glory.

00:27:49.660 --> 00:27:50.040
 So Lord,

00:27:50.120 --> 00:27:50.900
 you say go to

00:27:50.900 --> 00:27:51.900
 this town

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:52.240
 and Lord,

00:27:52.300 --> 00:27:53.480
 I'm going to go.

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.740
 And I'm not going to

00:27:54.740 --> 00:27:55.660
 stay there

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:56.620
 as long as I want

00:27:56.620 --> 00:27:57.080
 to stay there,

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:57.260
 Lord.

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:58.120
 I'm going to stay there

00:27:58.120 --> 00:27:59.280
 as long as you want me

00:27:59.280 --> 00:28:00.220
 to be there

00:28:00.220 --> 00:28:01.120
 living for your name,

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.740
 for your glory,

00:28:01.820 --> 00:28:02.420
 for your honor.

00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:02.800
 Lord,

00:28:02.800 --> 00:28:03.720
 and giving you praise

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.640
 all the way through

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.200
 the stumbles

00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:05.800
 on the road

00:28:05.800 --> 00:28:07.860
 and all the way

00:28:07.860 --> 00:28:08.680
 on the successes

00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:09.760
 that we experience.

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.540
 And that's what

00:28:11.540 --> 00:28:12.180
 humble submission

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.880
 looks like.

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:14.780
 But James is going

00:28:14.780 --> 00:28:15.500
 to wrap up

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:16.420
 this section for us

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:17.180
 this morning

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:18.820
 with verse 17.

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:21.580
 And what we see

00:28:21.580 --> 00:28:22.160
 from this

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:23.940
 is from humble submission

00:28:23.940 --> 00:28:26.060
 comes godly obedience.

00:28:27.100 --> 00:28:28.140
 Look back at verse 17,

00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:28.920
 chapter 4.

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:30.660
 So whoever knows

00:28:30.660 --> 00:28:32.220
 the right thing to do

00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:35.040
 and fails to do it

00:28:35.040 --> 00:28:36.740
 for him

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:38.360
 it is sin.

00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:40.000
 It is sin.

00:28:40.540 --> 00:28:41.500
 So whoever knows

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:42.540
 the right thing to do

00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:44.160
 and fails to do it

00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:44.680
 for him

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:46.060
 it is sin.

00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:47.140
 So there are

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:48.540
 two types of sins.

00:28:49.060 --> 00:28:50.320
 There's sins of commission

00:28:50.320 --> 00:28:51.840
 and sins of omission.

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.400
 These are the sins

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:54.100
 that we see

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:54.820
 in the Bible,

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:56.820
 the sins that we experience

00:28:56.820 --> 00:28:57.480
 in our life.

00:28:57.580 --> 00:28:57.680
 Now,

00:28:58.040 --> 00:28:59.160
 sins of commission,

00:28:59.600 --> 00:29:00.520
 you and I

00:29:00.520 --> 00:29:01.900
 are really good

00:29:01.900 --> 00:29:03.040
 at identifying.

00:29:03.380 --> 00:29:03.960
 Maybe not always

00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:04.280
 being obedient

00:29:04.280 --> 00:29:05.320
 obedient about

00:29:05.320 --> 00:29:06.860
 the sins of commission

00:29:06.860 --> 00:29:08.300
 but we're really good

00:29:08.300 --> 00:29:09.780
 at identifying them

00:29:09.780 --> 00:29:10.740
 and knowing them.

00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:11.580
 God says,

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.940
 don't do this.

00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:13.540
 Right?

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:14.280
 Now,

00:29:14.340 --> 00:29:15.620
 sometimes we don't do that.

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.960
 Other times we do that.

00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:19.220
 But those are what

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:20.480
 sins of commission are.

00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:21.160
 So God says,

00:29:21.340 --> 00:29:21.780
 don't steal

00:29:21.780 --> 00:29:23.240
 but we steal anyways.

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:23.500
 Right?

00:29:23.700 --> 00:29:24.920
 Do not do this

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:25.680
 but you and I

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:27.040
 we choose

00:29:27.040 --> 00:29:28.400
 to do this.

00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:30.180
 But then there's also,

00:29:30.320 --> 00:29:31.120
 and this is what James

00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:32.640
 is giving us here.

00:29:32.840 --> 00:29:34.140
 There's also the sins

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:35.180
 of omission

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:37.280
 where God tells us,

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:38.920
 do this.

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:42.800
 And instead of doing it,

00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:45.480
 whether intentionally,

00:29:46.940 --> 00:29:47.840
 maybe even sometimes

00:29:47.840 --> 00:29:48.780
 ignorantly,

00:29:48.980 --> 00:29:50.000
 unintentionally,

00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.740
 we don't do it.

00:29:53.620 --> 00:29:55.020
 And this is what James

00:29:55.020 --> 00:29:56.260
 is pointing out.

00:29:56.260 --> 00:29:58.020
 So whoever knows

00:29:58.020 --> 00:29:59.260
 the right thing

00:29:59.260 --> 00:30:00.000
 to do

00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.580
 and fails

00:30:01.580 --> 00:30:02.640
 to do it,

00:30:03.120 --> 00:30:04.240
 for him

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:05.300
 it is

00:30:05.300 --> 00:30:06.300
 sin.

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.920
 So as you go

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:08.820
 about your day

00:30:08.820 --> 00:30:09.540
 and as you're

00:30:09.540 --> 00:30:10.300
 going through

00:30:10.300 --> 00:30:10.940
 the plan

00:30:10.940 --> 00:30:11.460
 and as you're

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:11.980
 going through

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:13.060
 the opportunities

00:30:13.060 --> 00:30:13.760
 of what God

00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:14.820
 has for you,

00:30:15.100 --> 00:30:15.700
 God says,

00:30:16.020 --> 00:30:16.520
 do this.

00:30:16.820 --> 00:30:17.880
 Do the right thing.

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.840
 Very simple,

00:30:19.100 --> 00:30:19.980
 simply in the words

00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:20.520
 of James.

00:30:20.520 --> 00:30:21.220
 And then James

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.360
 says,

00:30:21.580 --> 00:30:22.220
 the solution

00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:22.880
 is,

00:30:23.300 --> 00:30:24.000
 pray about it.

00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:25.900
 James says,

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:26.400
 the solution

00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:27.500
 is think about it.

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:28.960
 James says,

00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.480
 the solution

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:30.260
 is gather

00:30:30.260 --> 00:30:31.200
 a group of people

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.200
 whom you trust

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.920
 and ask them

00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:33.460
 the question,

00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:34.620
 should I do

00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:35.220
 this thing

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.660
 that God

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.340
 told me to do?

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:36.640
 No,

00:30:36.660 --> 00:30:37.360
 that's not at all

00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:38.580
 what James says.

00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:39.660
 James says,

00:30:39.900 --> 00:30:40.740
 when God says

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:42.200
 do the right thing,

00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:43.620
 he says then

00:30:43.620 --> 00:30:44.340
 do it.

00:30:45.100 --> 00:30:45.620
 You don't have

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:46.380
 to think about it.

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.280
 You don't have

00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:48.060
 to pray about it.

00:30:48.360 --> 00:30:48.700
 You don't have

00:30:48.700 --> 00:30:49.320
 to seek counsel

00:30:49.320 --> 00:30:49.840
 about it.

00:30:50.120 --> 00:30:51.500
 You just do it.

00:30:52.820 --> 00:30:53.680
 Do the right

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.940
 thing.

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.620
 But sometimes

00:30:57.620 --> 00:30:58.420
 that can be hard.

00:30:59.940 --> 00:31:01.040
 We know the biggies,

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:01.300
 right?

00:31:02.260 --> 00:31:03.040
 We know the things

00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:03.740
 we're not supposed

00:31:03.740 --> 00:31:04.180
 to do.

00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:05.900
 But what about

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.740
 as we're just

00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:08.440
 meandering through

00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:10.560
 and going through life

00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:12.480
 in the day in,

00:31:12.560 --> 00:31:13.360
 day out decisions

00:31:13.360 --> 00:31:14.040
 that we make

00:31:14.040 --> 00:31:15.920
 to leave this job,

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.960
 to take this job,

00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:18.800
 to date this person,

00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:20.020
 to not date this person,

00:31:20.600 --> 00:31:21.540
 to put this much

00:31:21.540 --> 00:31:22.120
 in retirement,

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:23.280
 to put this much

00:31:23.280 --> 00:31:23.760
 toward debt.

00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:25.300
 What do we do?

00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:27.580
 But James has

00:31:27.580 --> 00:31:28.320
 already said,

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:30.760
 this is in the

00:31:30.760 --> 00:31:31.460
 mindset of the

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:33.140
 person who's

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.760
 walking through

00:31:33.760 --> 00:31:35.620
 everything and

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:36.460
 dedicated it to

00:31:36.460 --> 00:31:36.880
 the Lord,

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:38.920
 who's committed

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.080
 the Lord to be

00:31:41.080 --> 00:31:42.280
 in and of

00:31:42.280 --> 00:31:42.720
 and through

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:44.000
 the process.

00:31:45.100 --> 00:31:45.620
 And James says,

00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:46.140
 then in that,

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:46.660
 you do it.

00:31:47.560 --> 00:31:48.660
 I want to close

00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:49.680
 with a story

00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.920
 from my life.

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.940
 As I went

00:31:52.940 --> 00:31:53.400
 through this

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:53.960
 this week,

00:31:54.060 --> 00:31:54.860
 it was a very

00:31:54.860 --> 00:31:55.800
 evident picture

00:31:55.800 --> 00:31:57.260
 of times

00:31:57.260 --> 00:31:57.940
 when I seen

00:31:57.940 --> 00:31:58.540
 that I needed

00:31:58.540 --> 00:31:59.220
 to repent,

00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:00.380
 right?

00:32:00.780 --> 00:32:01.260
 And times

00:32:01.260 --> 00:32:01.820
 that I've seen

00:32:01.820 --> 00:32:02.300
 where God's

00:32:02.300 --> 00:32:02.980
 given an opportunity

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:04.180
 for obedience

00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:04.880
 in my life.

00:32:05.820 --> 00:32:06.580
 Years ago,

00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:08.180
 years ago,

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:08.880
 we bought a house.

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.580
 We bought a house.

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:11.460
 You bought houses.

00:32:11.520 --> 00:32:12.160
 We bought a house.

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:13.280
 And we,

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:13.960
 before we went

00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:14.800
 and looked at houses,

00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:15.720
 we went and we wrote

00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:16.080
 down,

00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:16.760
 we had discussions

00:32:16.760 --> 00:32:17.900
 with our kids,

00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:18.660
 we talked about

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:19.160
 our hopes

00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:19.920
 and our dreams

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:20.960
 and we wrote

00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:22.360
 down a list

00:32:22.360 --> 00:32:22.940
 of things

00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:24.260
 that we wanted

00:32:24.260 --> 00:32:25.600
 for this house

00:32:25.600 --> 00:32:26.840
 as we made

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.340
 this move.

00:32:28.280 --> 00:32:28.880
 And so we made

00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:29.300
 the move.

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.260
 And we went

00:32:30.260 --> 00:32:30.680
 and we looked

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:31.120
 at houses

00:32:31.120 --> 00:32:31.980
 all over the place

00:32:31.980 --> 00:32:32.900
 and this house

00:32:32.900 --> 00:32:33.320
 didn't meet

00:32:33.320 --> 00:32:34.100
 these check boxes

00:32:34.100 --> 00:32:34.740
 and this house

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.320
 didn't meet

00:32:35.320 --> 00:32:36.120
 these check boxes

00:32:36.120 --> 00:32:36.960
 and this house

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.360
 didn't meet

00:32:37.360 --> 00:32:38.480
 these checked boxes.

00:32:39.020 --> 00:32:39.800
 But then we came

00:32:39.800 --> 00:32:40.480
 to this house

00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:42.580
 and it met

00:32:42.580 --> 00:32:43.780
 every box

00:32:43.780 --> 00:32:44.680
 that we had.

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:46.180
 Everything

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:47.440
 that we ever

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:48.020
 wanted

00:32:48.020 --> 00:32:48.580
 that we had

00:32:48.580 --> 00:32:49.160
 thought of

00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:49.600
 that we had

00:32:49.600 --> 00:32:50.240
 dreamed about

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.800
 that we had

00:32:50.800 --> 00:32:51.660
 seen in the house

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:52.800
 every box

00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:53.420
 was checked.

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.920
 So we bought

00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:56.380
 the house.

00:32:58.280 --> 00:32:58.560
 I don't want to

00:32:58.560 --> 00:32:59.980
 speak for me

00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:00.620
 if I'm being

00:33:00.620 --> 00:33:01.420
 honest

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:02.720
 and transparent

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:03.440
 with you

00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:04.520
 as I've walked

00:33:04.520 --> 00:33:05.320
 through this

00:33:05.320 --> 00:33:06.260
 this week

00:33:06.260 --> 00:33:07.780
 what I did

00:33:07.780 --> 00:33:10.040
 was I left

00:33:10.040 --> 00:33:10.760
 God out

00:33:10.760 --> 00:33:11.560
 of the process.

00:33:13.260 --> 00:33:14.300
 I asked Erin

00:33:14.300 --> 00:33:14.980
 what she wanted

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:17.060
 I asked Emma

00:33:17.060 --> 00:33:17.800
 what she wanted

00:33:17.800 --> 00:33:19.860
 I asked Grayson

00:33:19.860 --> 00:33:20.460
 what he wanted

00:33:20.460 --> 00:33:22.400
 I wrote down

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:23.060
 what I wanted

00:33:23.060 --> 00:33:24.820
 and in that

00:33:24.820 --> 00:33:25.640
 process

00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:27.540
 left God

00:33:27.540 --> 00:33:29.140
 out of the plan

00:33:29.140 --> 00:33:31.060
 and we stayed

00:33:31.060 --> 00:33:31.640
 there for some

00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:32.300
 time and just

00:33:32.300 --> 00:33:32.880
 being honest

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.780
 it's like every

00:33:33.780 --> 00:33:34.820
 season of life

00:33:34.820 --> 00:33:35.460
 we had our ups

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:35.860
 and we had our

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:36.220
 downs

00:33:36.220 --> 00:33:38.160
 but if I were

00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.900
 to look back

00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:39.500
 and assess

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:40.420
 the time

00:33:40.420 --> 00:33:41.040
 that we were

00:33:41.040 --> 00:33:41.740
 there

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:42.960
 well I'm

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.740
 grateful through

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.360
 what God

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:45.200
 brought us

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:46.040
 through there

00:33:46.040 --> 00:33:47.100
 there was a

00:33:47.100 --> 00:33:48.240
 struggle about

00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:49.260
 living there

00:33:49.260 --> 00:33:50.540
 there was an

00:33:50.540 --> 00:33:52.040
 uneasiness about

00:33:52.040 --> 00:33:52.920
 why are we

00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:53.340
 here

00:33:53.340 --> 00:33:55.060
 and I forget

00:33:55.060 --> 00:33:55.420
 one day

00:33:55.420 --> 00:33:55.840
 Erin and I

00:33:55.840 --> 00:33:56.260
 we were getting

00:33:56.260 --> 00:33:56.900
 ready for bed

00:33:56.900 --> 00:33:57.440
 we were in

00:33:57.440 --> 00:33:57.920
 our room

00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:59.560
 and we were

00:33:59.560 --> 00:34:00.140
 talking about

00:34:00.140 --> 00:34:00.640
 moving

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:03.060
 and she said

00:34:03.060 --> 00:34:03.500
 this

00:34:03.500 --> 00:34:05.000
 she said

00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:05.980
 we just need

00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:06.600
 to pray

00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:08.080
 about moving

00:34:08.080 --> 00:34:09.920
 and as a

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.320
 pastor

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:11.320
 you would

00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:11.840
 think

00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:13.180
 that that

00:34:13.180 --> 00:34:13.340
 would have

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:13.740
 been something

00:34:13.740 --> 00:34:14.860
 that I

00:34:14.860 --> 00:34:15.120
 would have

00:34:15.120 --> 00:34:15.400
 said

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:16.080
 oh yeah

00:34:16.080 --> 00:34:16.740
 absolutely

00:34:16.740 --> 00:34:17.200
 but it just

00:34:17.200 --> 00:34:17.460
 kind of

00:34:17.460 --> 00:34:18.380
 resonated with

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:18.440
 me

00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:20.300
 but there's

00:34:20.300 --> 00:34:20.840
 all of these

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.360
 things that we

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:21.800
 don't like

00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:21.980
 here

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:22.480
 so is this

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:22.840
 something we

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.360
 even need to

00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:23.920
 pray about

00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:25.020
 and she said

00:34:25.020 --> 00:34:25.440
 yeah we need

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:25.760
 to pray

00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:26.900
 and so we

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.300
 came up with

00:34:27.300 --> 00:34:27.640
 how we were

00:34:27.640 --> 00:34:28.080
 going to pray

00:34:28.080 --> 00:34:29.620
 prayer number

00:34:29.620 --> 00:34:31.740
 God if you

00:34:31.740 --> 00:34:32.300
 want us to

00:34:32.300 --> 00:34:32.520
 move

00:34:32.520 --> 00:34:32.880
 then move

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:33.200
 us

00:34:33.200 --> 00:34:35.220
 God if you

00:34:35.220 --> 00:34:35.580
 want us

00:34:35.580 --> 00:34:36.340
 out of here

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:38.120
 then God

00:34:38.120 --> 00:34:38.440
 get us

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:39.100
 out of here

00:34:39.100 --> 00:34:40.340
 prayer number

00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:40.960
 two that we

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.300
 prayed

00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:43.880
 Lord take us

00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:44.680
 to the house

00:34:44.680 --> 00:34:46.060
 and to the

00:34:46.060 --> 00:34:46.520
 neighborhood

00:34:46.520 --> 00:34:47.700
 that you

00:34:47.700 --> 00:34:48.540
 have for

00:34:48.540 --> 00:34:49.040
 us

00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:50.620
 and make

00:34:50.620 --> 00:34:51.300
 it clear

00:34:51.300 --> 00:34:52.900
 that this

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:53.200
 is where

00:34:53.200 --> 00:34:53.620
 you want

00:34:53.620 --> 00:34:54.140
 us to be

00:34:54.140 --> 00:34:56.000
 and then

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:56.560
 number three

00:34:56.560 --> 00:34:57.840
 and God

00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:58.080
 we're going

00:34:58.080 --> 00:34:58.420
 to praise

00:34:58.420 --> 00:34:58.760
 you through

00:34:58.760 --> 00:34:59.020
 it

00:34:59.020 --> 00:35:00.320
 now I'd

00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:00.580
 like to

00:35:00.580 --> 00:35:01.120
 tell you

00:35:01.120 --> 00:35:01.880
 that the

00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:02.480
 next morning

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.360
 we put

00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:03.740
 that house

00:35:03.740 --> 00:35:03.980
 on the

00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:04.220
 market

00:35:04.220 --> 00:35:05.200
 and made

00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:05.800
 a fortune

00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:06.220
 off of

00:35:06.220 --> 00:35:06.340
 it

00:35:06.340 --> 00:35:06.620
 right

00:35:06.620 --> 00:35:07.760
 but we

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:08.300
 didn't

00:35:08.300 --> 00:35:09.820
 for about

00:35:09.820 --> 00:35:10.280
 two years

00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:10.620
 we prayed

00:35:10.620 --> 00:35:11.020
 that prayer

00:35:11.020 --> 00:35:13.300
 and every

00:35:13.300 --> 00:35:13.720
 time it

00:35:13.720 --> 00:35:14.300
 wasn't right

00:35:14.300 --> 00:35:15.360
 it wasn't

00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:15.720
 right

00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:16.760
 it wasn't

00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:17.140
 right

00:35:17.140 --> 00:35:18.040
 and then

00:35:18.040 --> 00:35:18.540
 God we

00:35:18.540 --> 00:35:19.060
 began to

00:35:19.060 --> 00:35:19.560
 see

00:35:19.560 --> 00:35:20.480
 not where

00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:20.800
 he was

00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:21.140
 working

00:35:21.140 --> 00:35:22.040
 because he

00:35:22.040 --> 00:35:22.320
 had been

00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:22.680
 working

00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:24.080
 but we

00:35:24.080 --> 00:35:24.580
 began to

00:35:24.580 --> 00:35:25.100
 see

00:35:25.100 --> 00:35:26.200
 what was

00:35:26.200 --> 00:35:26.640
 God was

00:35:26.640 --> 00:35:27.060
 doing

00:35:27.060 --> 00:35:28.200
 over

00:35:28.200 --> 00:35:29.220
 and over

00:35:29.220 --> 00:35:29.920
 and over

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.400
 again

00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:31.720
 and we

00:35:31.720 --> 00:35:32.100
 said yeah

00:35:32.100 --> 00:35:32.920
 now it's

00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:33.800
 time

00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:35.160
 and we

00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:35.560
 went and

00:35:35.560 --> 00:35:35.880
 looked at

00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:36.300
 houses

00:35:36.300 --> 00:35:38.600
 all over

00:35:38.600 --> 00:35:39.180
 Lexington

00:35:39.180 --> 00:35:40.220
 you all know

00:35:40.220 --> 00:35:40.600
 Lexington

00:35:40.600 --> 00:35:41.180
 can I tell you

00:35:41.180 --> 00:35:41.540
 what Lexington

00:35:41.540 --> 00:35:42.260
 has a lot of

00:35:42.260 --> 00:35:43.440
 Lexington has a lot

00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:44.060
 of houses

00:35:44.060 --> 00:35:44.580
 right

00:35:44.580 --> 00:35:47.040
 and this was

00:35:47.040 --> 00:35:47.560
 before it was

00:35:47.560 --> 00:35:48.260
 crazy to get a

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:48.560
 house

00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:49.520

00:35:49.520 --> 00:35:49.840
 I think you've

00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:50.120
 got to have

00:35:50.120 --> 00:35:51.040
 like 150%

00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:51.680
 down like

00:35:51.680 --> 00:35:52.000
 to get a

00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:52.260

00:35:52.260 --> 00:35:52.900
 and you know

00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:53.820
 like you're

00:35:53.820 --> 00:35:54.120
 going to pay

00:35:54.120 --> 00:35:54.620
 three times

00:35:54.620 --> 00:35:55.060
 the value

00:35:55.060 --> 00:35:55.580
 of the house

00:35:55.580 --> 00:35:56.060
 like that's

00:35:56.060 --> 00:35:56.320
 not where

00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:56.760
 we were

00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:57.080
 then

00:35:57.080 --> 00:35:57.600

00:35:57.600 --> 00:35:58.000
 like that

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:58.180
 and we

00:35:58.180 --> 00:35:58.400
 went to

00:35:58.400 --> 00:35:58.680
 houses

00:35:58.680 --> 00:35:58.920
 and we

00:35:58.920 --> 00:35:59.480
 went and

00:35:59.480 --> 00:35:59.900
 saw some

00:35:59.900 --> 00:36:00.380
 wonderful

00:36:00.380 --> 00:36:00.860
 houses

00:36:00.860 --> 00:36:01.720

 wonderful

00:36:02.260 --> 00:36:02.720
 neighborhoods

00:36:02.720 --> 00:36:03.980
 and we

00:36:03.980 --> 00:36:05.060
 were those

00:36:05.060 --> 00:36:05.720
 clients

00:36:05.720 --> 00:36:06.260
 right

00:36:10.120 --> 00:36:10.480
 with it

00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:11.340
 I don't know

00:36:11.340 --> 00:36:12.120
 but that ain't

00:36:12.120 --> 00:36:12.720
 it right

00:36:12.720 --> 00:36:14.720
 next house

00:36:14.720 --> 00:36:15.520
 that ain't

00:36:21.120 --> 00:36:21.440
 it

00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:22.920
 and then

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:23.200
 in the

00:36:23.200 --> 00:36:23.700
 desperation

00:36:23.700 --> 00:36:24.420
 of our

00:36:24.420 --> 00:36:24.940
 realtor's

00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:25.200
 voice

00:36:25.200 --> 00:36:25.520
 one

00:36:25.520 --> 00:36:25.880
 Saturday

00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:28.640
 I heard

00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:29.080
 him say

00:36:29.080 --> 00:36:30.380
 I've got

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:31.120
 one

00:36:31.120 --> 00:36:32.480

00:36:36.160 --> 00:36:36.580
 look at it

00:36:36.580 --> 00:36:36.980
 but honestly

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:37.280
 at this

00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:37.660
 point I'm

00:36:37.660 --> 00:36:37.960
 thinking

00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:39.460
 it ain't

00:36:39.460 --> 00:36:39.700
 gonna be

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.380
 you know

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:41.640
 and so

00:36:41.640 --> 00:36:42.080
 we went

00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:42.900
 to the

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:43.260
 house

00:36:43.260 --> 00:36:44.520
 and it

00:36:44.520 --> 00:36:44.840
 was a new

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.280
 construction

00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:45.620
 and we

00:36:45.620 --> 00:36:46.540
 were walking

00:36:46.540 --> 00:36:47.100
 through it

00:36:47.100 --> 00:36:48.460
 and we

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:49.120
 liked it

00:36:49.120 --> 00:36:51.620
 and our

00:36:51.620 --> 00:36:51.920
 realtor

00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:52.560
 got excited

00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:55.240
 but then

00:36:55.240 --> 00:36:55.540
 we saw

00:36:55.540 --> 00:36:55.840
 another

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:56.320
 house

00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:58.620
 and we

00:36:58.620 --> 00:36:58.860
 said what

00:36:58.860 --> 00:36:59.780
 about that

00:36:59.780 --> 00:37:00.340
 house

00:37:00.340 --> 00:37:01.640
 down the

00:37:01.640 --> 00:37:02.060
 bottom of

00:37:02.060 --> 00:37:02.500
 the hill

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:04.060
 that's just

00:37:04.060 --> 00:37:04.800
 framed

00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:06.580
 he's like

00:37:06.580 --> 00:37:07.020
 well that's

00:37:07.020 --> 00:37:08.500

00:37:10.520 --> 00:37:11.780

00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:13.420
 at it

00:37:13.420 --> 00:37:14.960
 and so

00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:15.520
 we walked

00:37:15.520 --> 00:37:15.940
 through

00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:22.480
 a house

00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:31.080

00:37:31.080 --> 00:37:31.320

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:34.220
 go

00:37:34.220 --> 00:37:36.620
 and in

00:37:36.620 --> 00:37:37.000
 that

00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:37.860
 moment

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:39.580
 there

00:37:39.580 --> 00:37:39.940
 was

00:37:39.940 --> 00:37:41.020
 a

00:37:41.020 --> 00:37:41.660
 holy

00:37:41.660 --> 00:37:42.940
 confidence

 two

00:39:04.540 --> 00:39:05.120
 years

00:39:05.120 --> 00:39:06.240
 of

00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:06.820
 praying

00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:07.740
 God

00:39:07.740 --> 00:39:07.900

00:39:07.900 --> 00:39:08.060
 just

00:39:08.060 --> 00:39:08.240
 want

00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:08.380
 to

00:39:08.380 --> 00:39:08.640
 be

00:39:08.640 --> 00:39:08.860
 where

00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:09.040
 you

00:39:11.080 --> 00:39:11.240
 so

00:39:11.240 --> 00:39:11.480
 God

00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:11.740
 put

00:39:19.600 --> 00:39:19.760
