I have nowhere to hide, right. 13 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:44.359 So what made Christians this week? What made Chris this week? 14 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:45.960 This is everybody's favorite segment. 15 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.079 Well, I gotta tell you, Jeff, I didn't take me 16 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.759 long to figure it out, because I am getting on 17 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.880 a plane on in a few days and I'm going 18 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.000 to go to the Dominican Republic. And guess what My 19 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.759 TSA pre check ran out? Oh yes, oh yeah, And 20 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.319 so I started to number one. I didn't realize that 21 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.799 it had run out number two. I'm mad that it did. 22 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:13.799 But what made me angry is that I experienced what 23 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.719 four days ago, and then every day since then, and 24 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.400 every day until I fly, I will experience the anticipation 25 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.599 of how bad TSA is. It is awful, isn't it. Yes, 26 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:26.319 it's terrible. 27 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:26.799 It can be. 28 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.239 And you know what it feels like, Jeff, It feels 29 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.680 like since you know, September eleventh, two thousand and one, 30 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.519 it feels like something horrible happened to our country. So 31 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.519 therefore they're out to punish us whenever we fly. 32 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.840 Yes, we're gonna spend trillions of dollars inconveniencing everybody and 33 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:46.799 not actually catch a bad guy. Yeah, we'll catch some 34 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.599 grandmas with some bullets and some or we'll catch some 35 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.519 grandma with a nail clippers. We'll catch some grandpa that's 36 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.799 got an extra twenty two bullet in his pocket. Yeah, 37 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.840 but we haven't actually caught a terrace through the TSA, 38 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.120 so look it up. 39 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.400 Yeah, yeah, we've never caught one terrorist. 40 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.719 But we spent trillions of dollars and wasted hundreds of 41 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:07.599 trillions of hours. 42 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.360 Yeah, no kidding, Well, it's it's really bad. 43 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.599 And I got to tell you that would be the 44 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.199 argument that the people who. 45 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.719 Work in TSA are, to be honest with you, they 46 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.639 have to be some of the most unhappy humans in 47 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:21.439 the face of the planet. 48 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.120 Some of them. Some of them are funny, though. 49 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.120 There's one at Detroit at dt W. He's entertaining the 50 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.439 whole time. Yeah, funny, he's having a good time. 51 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.520 Oh yeah, well, most of my experience, some of them 52 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.599 are not. Yes, I would say most in my experience. 53 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:36.000 They just bark at you. 54 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.439 Oh and they must hate their jobs because they know 55 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.000 that they have a terrible job because nobody likes TSA. 56 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:45.879 It's just a big inconvenience. And I think that they 57 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.479 sort of sense that because people have to be grumpy 58 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:49.639 and take off your shoes. 59 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.719 Well, I think the government's listening, and you're on a 60 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:53.199 list now. 61 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:54.719 Oh you know what, I'm already. 62 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.800 You're getting padded down.

It 66 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.039 may be mad this week figuring out that my TSA 67 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.879 pre check was gone, which means I have to take 68 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.280 my computer out of my bag, I have to take 69 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:13.000 off my shoes. 70 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.840 Well, you don't take off your shoes anymore, No, nope, Okay, 71 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:17.960 We'll shows you how long I've had TSA pre check. 72 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.520 It's been a while, but it's it's terrible, and I 73 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.280 have an I'm angry about it. 74 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.400 Can I hook you up?

The reason why 80 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.560 is because it only flies into the airport that I'm 81 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:39.840 going to. 82 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.159 Well, then it's going to be awful. Yes, I was 83 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.039 going to tell you that there is a sky Priority 84 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.439 entrance into. 85 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.759 The hotel and no endo TSA. Oh that you skip everything? 86 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.599 Really yeah, huh, it's pretty good. Okay, So well, and 87 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:56.919 you have to go through all the stuff that you skip, 88 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:58.719 all the long lines right right right? 89 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.080 Yeah, but anyway, never mind that. Well maybe, but if 90 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.560 you're flying American Airlines, then there's no benefit. That's that's 91 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.719 that's on you. You made a bad. 92 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.159 Choice on the country for Delta not flying yeah, no 93 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.080 to the to the pop yeah yeah. So anyway, so 94 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:14.759 that made me mad, and I got to tell you, 95 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:16.800 it's going to make me mad every second until I 96 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.959 have it again. So and so I'm flying with no 97 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.000 TSA status and I have a temporary passport.

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing 194 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.080 love surrounds those who trust the Lord. So rejoice in 195 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:49.240 the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him. 196 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.200 Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure. 197 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:54.720 Well, there you go.

I think I 202 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.360 think some people do. 203 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.000 There have to be right, I think it'd be a 204 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:11.360 good idea. 205 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.919 Out of thousands, tens of thousands of listeners, I bet 206 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:15.399 you some do. 207 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.039 So. 208 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.039 If some people are reading Jeff, they came across this 209 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:23.000 little segment in this chapter three different times it says interlude, 210 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:30.480 and somebody else's might say, what say Cela, Celaela, Selah, Cela? 211 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.559 However you pronounce it? So I know that you know 212 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.919 what this means. Cela Selah? What do you say Cela 213 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:38.399 or sela? 214 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:39.879 Both? Do you? 215 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.000 Okay? So what does it mean? Why is it there? 216 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:44.360 Pause? 217 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.879 It means pause? But why is it there to pause 218 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.639 because of what to think, Well, it wasn't there because 219 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:53.360 of the song. 220 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:59.000 That there was music going on right there. Yes, so 221 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:04.200 I there's a guitar solo. 222 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:12.039 And yeah, yeah it's a little uh yeah. 223 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.480 Yeah, So those are musical interes right there. Music. 224 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:16.799 That's what I was trying to get you to say. 225 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:17.440 Okay, I'm sorry. 226 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.720 So it was written for pause, but I think it's 227 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.080 there because these songs were songs, that's right. 228 00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:24.320 Right. 229 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.240 So so there's a pause there for the reading or 230 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.639 for the singing. Uh, but then there has to be 231 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.440 music that's right during. 232 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:32.600 That time, right. Yeah. 233 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.639 So I always wanted that as a kid, you know, 234 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.159 I was you know, I became a Christian fifteen, so 235 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:39.279 I was a teenager. But but I was reading, I 236 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.120 would say, what is sila or salo? However you to 237 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.720 pronounce it? And I didn't understand until I learned that 238 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.200 they were all like this was written to music. Yeah, 239 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.279 and by the way, these an't rhyme. These must have 240 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:54.600 been the worst songs ever. 241 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.320 Not name you think they were written in Hebrew or Hebrew? 242 00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:59.399 I mean, yeah, it was. Many of them are. 243 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.039 Very clever and Hebrew you think, yeah, they are, Yeah, yeah, 244 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.320 in the original Hebrew. You know how sometimes we will 245 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.919 have songs that have double meanings or that are very 246 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.799 clever turn of phrase. 247 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:16.759 Whatever. 248 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.159 So many in Hebrew, many of the psalms have a 249 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:25.120 clever turn a phrase, or they have a double meaning, 250 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.679 kind of a you know, it means they said this, 251 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.279 but they really meant this, And so the Hebrews would 252 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:34.080 have picked up on it that a lot of these 253 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.360 are really clever and cleverly written. It's just not how 254 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.320 we would do it because it's translated to English. It's 255 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.000 hard to read, hard to sing a song. Yeah, you know, 256 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.240 because rhyme and meter are different in different languages. The structure, 257 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.720 because you know, Hebrew is spoken backwards compared to us 258 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:56.559 right where they put their adjectives and adverbs is after 259 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.279 not before, all that kind of stuff. So just even 260 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.360 the structure there's sentences is different, so it wouldn't make 261 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:01.840 any sense. 262 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:08.039 But yeah, interesting, okay, So our operative verse is verse 263 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:08.840 number seven. 264 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.360 That's right for you are my hiding. 265 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.120 Place, You protect me from trouble, you surround me with 266 00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:18.919 songs of victory. And this one was written by King David. 267 00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:23.720 So King David wrote this one, and uh it says 268 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.639 this and my application study Bible it says the psalm 269 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:35.679 is one of seven penitential psalmsial penitential psalms in which 270 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.720 the writers are being disciplined by God and experiencing suffering. 271 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.960 The other psalms are Psalms six thirty eight, fifty one, one, two, one, 272 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.440 and one forty three. I'm not sure that I knew that. 273 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.000 Yeah, so this is you know the other one? Psalm? 274 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.360 Was it? Fifty one? Search meal God and know my heart. 275 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:54.720 I think I need reading glasses? 276 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.759 Do you I think I do? Is it time? 277 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.720 I think it is. I've missed pronounced words. I'm tongue tied. 278 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.159 Whenever I try to read, I squint, and I mispronounced 279 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.919 this word penitential. I'm like, I just I think I 280 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:12.840 had a time I dread. The folks get some cool ones. 281 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.320 I dread it, and then you can just wear them 282 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.840 like a string around your neck. You get some of 283 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.240 those gold ones that snap together. 284 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:21.960 Right here? 285 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.919 How are your eyes not?

I could see up clothes, 289 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.120 I just. 290 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:32.799 Can't see far away. 291 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:35.120 Yeah, that's awful. 292 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.080 Yeah, I lost my glasses though. 293 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.279 You're ready with glasses. 294 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.840 Yeah, yeah, So for driving and stuff.

They were great, 296 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.759 except at night it's dark I'm driving down the road. 297 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.559 The sunglasses they. 298 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:51.320 Do make glasses when if I had. 299 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.840 Time go get glasses in the last four or five days, 300 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.559 I haven't even had time go get a haircut. 301 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.879 Dude, in the last two weeks, were you hunting? 302 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:02.919 No, sure that I'm positive in the last two weeks okay, yeah, 303 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.759 all right, dude. 304 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:05.320 I flew all the way to Morocco for a one 305 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.840 day meeting and turned around, landed for another meeting before 306 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.120 I got home, and then had a meeting the next 307 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.679 day with one hundred and twenty pastors and then it 308 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.919 was church day. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So I had 309 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.080 Saturday Sunday. 310 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.799 I could have done it. But are the eye glass 311 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.039 places open on Sunday? Probably not, I don't think so. 312 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.440 So that's where anyways, back to this. 313 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:24.960 Yeah for sure, right back to the Word of God. 314 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:25.759 That's right. 315 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:32.000 So thirty two is a psalm of David. If you remember, 316 00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:38.120 Psalm was at fifty one, he's confessing sin. Yeah, oh God, 317 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.320 you know against you and you only have I sinned? 318 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.120 Right? Right? 319 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.679 This is that where David is saying, dude, I feel 320 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.480 so much better now that I got that right with God. 321 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:49.559 That's this whole chapter, Is that right? 322 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.440 This doesn't play take place after fifty one. Yeah, so 323 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.320 it's out of work because this is only thirty two. 324 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.840 Sure, it's Yeah. 325 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.559 The Book of of Psalms is divided into four books, 326 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.559 and he clusters them together based on things that he's 327 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.639 trying to say in those books. So there's four song 328 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.720 books in the Book of Salms. 329 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.320 Yeah, so I think I did not know that. 330 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.759 Yeah, so this is out of order. So the Book 331 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.000 of Psalms is not in order. It's just this is 332 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.480 the order in which they sang them. 333 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:26.639 Okay, so I'm certain that I knew that at one time. Yeah, 334 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.200 but now I can't let that pass without you if 335 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.000 you already know them. 336 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:34.320 What are the four I can't remember? 337 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.360 Oh, here it is. It just says book one, Book two, 338 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:37.799 Book three, Book four, Book five. 339 00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:38.639 Okay, there's five. 340 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.720 Then intimacy with God. 341 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:41.399 Okay. 342 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:44.360 The Book of Psalms has been and still is irreplaceable. 343 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.399 Devotional blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah. 344 00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:51.000 So anyways, the point I was making was if you're 345 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.840 reading in Psalm you know, fifty one or whatever it is, 346 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.399 where he is just God, it's against you, and you 347 00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:01.639 only have I sinned and all these things. He's describing 348 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.840 here what it took to get there to that point, 349 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.919 because that's a beautiful Psalm, right, was it Psalm fifty one? 350 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We you talked about the sin with Besheba. 351 00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:11.759 Yeah yeah. 352 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.919 So here he's saying, what joy for those whose record 353 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.159 the Lord is cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived 354 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.879 in complete honesty. He said, I feel so much better now, 355 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.440 as miserable as I was. But then he describes I, 356 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.320 when I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away. 357 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.480 I groaned all day, long, day and night. Your handed 358 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.519 the discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like 359 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:38.519 water in the summer heat. And finally I confessed all 360 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.960 my sins to you, and I stopped trying to hide 361 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.279 my guilt, and I said to myself, I will confess 362 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.440 my rebellion to the Lord, and you forgave me all. 363 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:50.840 My guilt is gone. And so he's describing how miserable 364 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.840 he was when he was fighting God. And man, if 365 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:55.480 you are miserable in your life and you have not 366 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:58.200 yet surrendered to God, let me tell you the only 367 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.679 so should take it from this warrior, take it from him, 368 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.720 and just understand your only hope for any peace is 369 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.240 to finally surrender to God. And then, man, this guy 370 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.640 who he's got it all. He's the king of the world, 371 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.279 and not the whole world, but you know he's the king. 372 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.400 There's nobody that can come up against him. He takes 373 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.480 what he wants, and finally he does. He takes a 374 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.240 woman that he shouldn't have, he kills a man that 375 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.119 was her husband, all these kinds of things, and then 376 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.839 the world begins to burn down around him, and he's 377 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.519 mad at God, he's mad at everything, and he won't repent. 378 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:34.200 And he said, during that time, my body was wasting away, 379 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:36.359 my strength evaporated. 380 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.119 I was miserable. 381 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:40.480 But then when I finally said, you know what I'm 382 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.720 gonna I'm just gonna get right with God. Then the 383 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:44.079 whole rest of the chapters. 384 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.880 God, You're so good. I feel great. Right. 385 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.440 He's like on top of a mountain. He was miserable 386 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.880 and now he's on top of a mountain. And there 387 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.799 have been times in my life when I finally quit 388 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.279 fighting God and decided to surrender to God, and you 389 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.359 come away. It's almost euphoric where it's just done, it's 390 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.640 just oh final. 391 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.839 Yeah, there's something to that, for sure. I think I've 392 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:06.519 experienced that as well, for sure. And and yeah, especially 393 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.920 the heaviness party, the physicality. I mean, it's it's legitimate, right, Hey, 394 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.559 So because you open that can of worms, it says 395 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:17.799 it says the Book of Psalms is divided into five books, 396 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.480 and it says each of the first three books and 397 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.240 he's talking about like book one is like Psalm one 398 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.519 through forty one. Then it's forty two through seventy two. 399 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:28.039 It's divided sort of like that. And it says each 400 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:29.880 of the first three books ends with double a men. 401 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.200
