Hey, everybody, welcome to the Bible guys. We 4 00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:16.239 are so excited to be with you here today talking 5 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.280 about God's provision and no, no. 6 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.879 It's protecting protection. Sorry, it also provides. 7 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:22.280 Well we talked about that last week. 8 00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.679 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he's done providing now, it's only protection. 9 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.559 No, no, we're just done talking about provisions. Oh I see, yeah, yeah, 10 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.839 God still protects them. 11 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.439 Trying to keep up and a lot of other things 12 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.960 he does a lot of he's a busy guy. 13 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.479 Before we dive into that. However, today, because we're in 14 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.039 Psalm chapter twenty seven, today, we have a segment called 15 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:43.840 Who's most Likely? 16 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.560 Oh these are fun. 17 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.640 Yeah, this is five things. We're going to each read 18 00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.119 one and we're just going to pick who is actually 19 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.399 just five things total, right, five things and not each 20 00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.079 that's right? And so who's most likely? So you want 21 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:54.399 to think the. 22 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.920 First one who's most likely to laugh so hard they 23 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.960 can't finish their sentence? Probably think you do? You do? 24 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.040 I laugh hard? But you laughed to the point where 25 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.840 you've got that smoker's laugh. Yeah you can't. You're exhaling 26 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.879 so hard you can't inhale to finish the sentence. 27 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.439 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the funny thing is, my entire 28 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:17.319 life never smoked. Yeah, but I've always had a smoker shot. 29 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.159 And the funny thing is, did you have a rescue 30 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:20.959 voice when you're a kid? 31 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:22.920 You know what the funny thing is. I would go 32 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.920 back and I would watch because I was a worship 33 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.879 leader for a couple of years too, And I went 34 00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.120 back one time and I watched a VHS clip of 35 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.519 me in the nineties and I played it for one 36 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.760 of my worship leaders here, and and my voice did 37 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.920 sound a little less raspy, a little clever, I mean, 38 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.879 I would say, almost considerably. And so I started to wonder, 39 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.640 maybe like I was allergic to cats, because I do 40 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:46.359 have an allergy to cats, and I've always. 41 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.280 Had can you've got a bunch of cats, Like, I'm. 42 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.480 Not sure my wasted home going. That's not it. That's 43 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.280 not it. It's not the cats. 44 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.120 It's just more masculine now than. 45 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.159 Yes, I don't know what it is, but but yeah, 46 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.359 but I listened to these old tapes and yeah, honestly, 47 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.840 my voice was clear or sharply. 48 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.799 Yeah, when was the last zac Efron movie watched? 49 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.359 Zach Efron movie? 50 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:07.640 Yeah? 51 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.360 Yeah, yeah, why, I would say, I don't know. Maybe 52 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:14.400 a week ago. 53 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.960 Oh okay, never mind. I thought, maybe you're just getting 54 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.639 more and more masculine. Oh I see, yeah that's what 55 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:20.800 I was thinking. But maybe not. 56 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.560 But I watched it by default. I came in and 57 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:24.599 my kids were watching it. 58 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:25.560 Oh, it's their fault. 59 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.120 And then I sat down and joined them. 60 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:27.919 Oh, well that's your fault. 61 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.599 So I didn't turn them on. Okay, I didn't turn on. 62 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.240 Okay, here we go, ready, yep, Oh no, it's your turn. 63 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.599 Okay. Number two, who's most likely to start a fight 64 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:37.919 over who talks more? 65 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.599 Oh? You talk more, but I don't talk more. Yes, 66 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:43.919 you do, dude. 67 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.879 If you were to take all the words of the Bible, guys, 68 00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:49.639 you would be seventy percent. 69 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.400 Oh it's not seventy percent. That's an exaggeration. 70 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.759 Okay, what is it? Sixty five? 71 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.280 Not more than sixty seven. 72 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.520 And I would say I would also say, in social settings, 73 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.479 I think you talked slightly more. Yeah, but I could. 74 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:06.439 I could, I could talk. 75 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:07.360 You can hold your own. 76 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.280 Here's the thing. Here's the thing compared to everybody else, 77 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:11.719 we both talked more than them. 78 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.879 Oh, we talked more than the whole rest of staff combined. 79 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.080 I think so too. Yeah, I think so too. So 80 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.159 it's it's a little unfair for me to say you 81 00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.240 talk more than me when I talk way more than 82 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:21.759 most people. 83 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.360 No. Yeah, well so it just said who's most likely 84 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.479 to start the fight, So I thought i'd start the fight? 85 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:28.280 Is what happened? 86 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.080 Oh is that with you? 87 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:29.680 That's exactly? 88 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.680 Oh you're so clever. 89 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.240 You se what we did?

Did we just have this? 92 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.000 I do that?

That 192 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.720 was scary. For the first time, I felt like my 193 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:50.480 phone was alive. 194 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.519 It is alive. It's alive, and it's listening. Okay, so 195 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.000 you know what else is alive? What the word? 196 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:57.519 Aya? Oh? 197 00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:02.039 No, I know we were stopping that some twenty seven. 198 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.519 The Lord is my Light and my salvation is what 199 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.039 we're talking about today. And I hate to do this. Yeah, 200 00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.399 but this really is one of my favorite songs we 201 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.440 just talked about. Really, yeah, yeah, it really is. I 202 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.840 love the Psalm twenty seven. You know, I was a 203 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.960 worship leader for years, and I spent a lot of 204 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.919 time in the Psalms because I wanted to The Bible 205 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.919 says that David was a man after God's own heart. 206 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.679 He wrote most not all, but he wrote most of 207 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:30.600 the Psalms and if he's a man after God's own heart. 208 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.639 And he also was one of the main worship leaders 209 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.320 in the history of Israel, and he wrote the biggest 210 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.120 worship book in the whole Bible. It's the whole It's 211 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:40.639 the biggest book in the Bible. The whole thing is 212 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.519 just worship. Then I thought, okay, I'd like to spend 213 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.440 more time with him, hang out. You know, you become 214 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:47.200 like the people you hang out with. Sure, So I 215 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.679 spent a lot of time in the Psalms and h 216 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.080 uh some twenty seven is one of my favorites. 217 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:55.759 And you and you found out that he really wants 218 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:56.919 to run from his enemies a lot. 219 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.440 He's running from his enemies. He's kind of mad at 220 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.320 God by the time. But then he has times like 221 00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.639 this and he says, The Lord is my light and 222 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.399 my salvation, So why should I be afraid? The Lord 223 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.960 is my fortress, protecting me from dangers. So why should 224 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.080 I tremble? When evil come to evil, people come to 225 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.120 devour me. When my enemies and foes attack me, they 226 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.600 will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me. 227 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.000 My heart will not be afraid. Even if I'm attacked, 228 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.879 I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of 229 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.600 the Lord, the thing I seek the most, is to 230 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.360 live in the house of the Lord all the days 231 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.480 of my life, delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating 232 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.159 in his temple. For he will conceal me there. When 233 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.960 troubles come, he will hide me in his sanctuary. He 234 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.559 will place me out of reach on a high rock, 235 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.480 and then I will hold my head high above my 236 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.240 enemies who surround me. At his sanctuary. I will go 237 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.600 offer sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising the 238 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.720 Lord with music. Hear me as I pray, O, Lord, 239 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.600 be merciful and answer me. My heart has heard you say, 240 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.000 come and talk with me, and my heart responds, Lord, 241 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.320 I'm coming. Do not turn your bad Do not reject 242 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.159 your servant and anger. You've always been my helper. Don't 243 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.559 leave me now. Don't abandon me, Oh God of my salvation. 244 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.960 Even if my father and mother abandoned me. The Lord 245 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.720 will hold me close, teach me how to live. Oh Lord, 246 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.039 Leave me along the right path, for my enemies are 247 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.879 waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands. 248 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:19.559 For they cause accuse me of things I've never done, 249 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:22.799 and with every breath they threatened me with violence. Yet 250 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.159 I'm confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I'm 251 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.919 here in the land of the Living. Wait patiently for 252 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.200 the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for 253 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.519 the Lord. I love it. He's like man all around me. 254 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.279 It seems like everybody's against me, but God's on my side, 255 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:40.279 and so I just want to spend the rest of 256 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:40.879 my life with him. 257 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.000 Yeah. So the first six verses the first verses of 258 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.759 when we're concentrating on Yeah, This note in my study 259 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.600 Bible says David didn't close his eyes to the circumstances 260 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.360 around him. Rather, he looked by faith to the Lord 261 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.159 and examined his circumstances from Heaven. From Heaven's point of 262 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:02.440 view references. He twelve. The Lord was everything he needed, 263 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.000 just as he has everything we need today. He is 264 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.799 our light, so we need we need not fear darkness. 265 00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.720 He has our strength or fortress see Saw eighteen. So 266 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.440 we need not fear because of our weaknesses. He is 267 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:24.200 our salvation. So the victory is sure. So it said light, fortress, salvation. 268 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:25.559 It's great, isn't it. 269 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:26.759 Yeah, that's good. 270 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.720 Yeah, And I already mentioned this right before we started filming. 271 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.159 But there was a guy in my home church that 272 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.480 used to sing the song yeah and so, and he 273 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.879 had this high vibrato and his name was Bob, and 274 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.960 Bob used to sing the song. In fact, it's the 275 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.919 only song I ever heard him sing. And every like 276 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.720 three months or two months, he would just get up 277 00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:49.159 and he grabbed the microphone and I'm like, oh, here 278 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.039 comes again, this same song. And he used to go, 279 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.519 Lord is my light and my sob. 280 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.399 So anyway, it was a very classical sounding hymn. Yes, yes, 281 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:05.960 I remember that. 282 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:08.519 But you remember that song though the Lord is the 283 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.600 strength of my life. The Lord is the strength of 284 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.480 my life. Yeah. So it's a great song. It's a 285 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.159 great hymn. And uh and uh yeah, I like it 286 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.320 a lot, but when he's saying it, that's all I hear. 287 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.440 So when I read this verse, that's all I hear. 288 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:24.559 Yeah, the whole thing. He had this really aggressive through 289 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.480 the whole song, his. 290 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.960 Go tea, his silver go tea, and his uh, peppered hair, 291 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:32.440 and he towed his head. He towed his head like this. 292 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.000 So that's all I can see. But anyway, but it's 293 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:38.759 in my head though I know the scripture, right, yes 294 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:42.360 you do, so it's it's he did his job, that's right. 295 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:45.120 That's right. Even as a kid, I knew the scripture 296 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.639 because you know I've mentioned this before, but you know, 297 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:52.919 memorized versus the songs. Whenever you hear a Bible verse 298 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:57.799 in a song, always worth singing it and memorizing it, Right, 299 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.440 Did I ever tell you that? Uh? The first day 300 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.720 of Bible College, I memorized the books of the Bible 301 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.919 to this tune of one little two little three little Yeah, 302 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.639 yeah you told me that, and I could and I 303 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.320 can still sing it today because I I was like, 304 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.279 oht know how I'm gonna memorize this sixty six books 305 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.279 of the Bible, And then I just sort of made 306 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:18.279 it up. Nobody ever told me, I just made it numbers. Yeah, Dorononymy, Joshua, 307 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.519 Juges Ruth first sing Samuel for sin Kings first, and 308 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.840 tech ink On Nicholas is ry Esther Joe Psalm's proverbs 309 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:28.600 because yes, he sung as Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremy Lamentations, Ezekiel 310 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:34.600 Daniels at Joe. Okay, yeah, so so anyway, yeah, so 311 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.440 I just think that memorizing the scripture is uh, it's 312 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.320 a good thing. It's great. 313 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:44.240 Yep. Yeah, so, uh, I really like this verse thirteen, right, 314 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.279 he says. So he's saying, teach me how to live 315 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.879 in verse eleven, leave me along the right path. So 316 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.519 it's interesting he keeps splitting between I've got enemies all 317 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.200 around me's trying to wipe me out. But God, more 318 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:56.960 important than that, I want to I want to spend 319 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.080 all my time with you. And at this time, the 320 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:02.159 temple didn't ex when he wrote this, so there was 321 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.000 a tabernacle in Gilead where he had built that tabernacle 322 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:08.799 to house the ark of the Covenant. He was dreaming 323 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.559 of the day we know in First Chronicles he was 324 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.919 always dreaming about building a temple someday for the Lord. 325 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:15.279 But the Lord said, you don't get to build it. 326 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.240 You're a warrior. Yea, but your son can build it hands. Yes, 327 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.240 but he designed it, he helped design, he helped plan, 328 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:21.799 he helped and. 329 00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.360 Do a bazillion dollars. 330 00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.759 Yeah, yeah, exactly. So he was always dreaming about it. 331 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.639 So I think he's not talking about man. If I 332 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.679 could to spend all my life in church. What he's 333 00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:32.919 saying is God, if I can to spend all my 334 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.919 life in your presence, that's what he wants, right, And I. 335 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.519 Find it interesting how this is only four chapters after 336 00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:40.960 Psalm twenty three that ends that way as well. For 337 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.519 I will live in the House of the Lord forever, 338 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.799 because he says this one thing I asked the Lord, 339 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.840 the thing I seek most is to live in the 340 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:49.279 House of the Lord all the days of my life, 341 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.639 the letting the Lord's perfections and meditans. 342 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.039 So he's got I've got all these enemies. I just 343 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.000 want to spend time with God and they're distracting me. 344 00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.679 But God's going to take care of me. And I 345 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.960 got all these enemies. I just want to grow in 346 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.080 my relationship with God, and God's going to take care 347 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.840 of me. I got all these enemies. It's kind of 348 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:09.240 it's every few verses, it's one or the other, until 349 00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:13.240 finally he gets to the section of eleven, twelve, thirteen 350 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.799 or fourteen. Teach me how to live, Oh Lord, lead 351 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.799 me along the right path, He goes. I want to 352 00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.840 do the right thing because my enemies are waiting for me. 353 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.519 There's the enemies, right. I want you, But I got 354 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.960 these bad guys coming after me. Don't let me fall 355 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.840 into their hands, for they accuse me of things I've 356 00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.240 never done with every break that threatened me with violence. 357 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.159 Yet I'm confident I'll see the Lord's goodness while I'm 358 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.720 here in the land of the Living. Right. So he 359 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.840 keeps flipping back and forth. You know, God's good and 360 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:38.200 I just want to be with you, and I got 361 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.039 people who hate me. 362 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.480 David have the hardest job ever, Yeah, right, I mean 363 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.759 think about it. I mean, isn't it the hardest job 364 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.840 to be the warrior who fights everyone and everything? And 365 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.279 his goal was, I mean, his assignment from God was 366 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:56.080 to take out those who blaspheme against God, those who 367 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:02.159 they're worshiping false gods. They're not acknowledging who God is. 368 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.720 They talk against God. Right, So God's literally taking them out. So, 369 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.400 I mean, it's pretty crazy how that's his job description. 370 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:13.039 Yeah, so he was interesting his role and how he did. 371 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:16.319 What he did is a little different than Joshua. Joshua 372 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:20.240 when he led the people in several hundred years before David. 373 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.559 They are aggressors. They're coming in, they're taking Jericho, they're 374 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:28.640 taking Ai, they're taking right, they're going through the Ten Cities, 375 00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.200 they're taking the mountains, they're taking the passes. With David, 376 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.759 David is mostly defending right. The Philistines are constantly attacking. 377 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.799 He's got all these outsiders. They're constantly attacking. But when 378 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.480 he wins, he pushes them so far back he takes 379 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.480 more land, right, is what happens. So you don't see 380 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.799 him like just invading Gaza, which is you know, in 381 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.920 modern day Gaza now is it was a big part 382 00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.640 of Felistia. Then you don't see him just invading Felicitia. 383 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.079 But when they would attack him, they would attack, and 384 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:06.599 they come in and try to you know, they are 385 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:08.359 a bunch of marauders, and they would come in and 386 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:13.039 steal all of the grain and the wealth of the 387 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:15.480 cities and the villages. He would go out with his 388 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.119 armies push them back, and he pushed them back further 389 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.039 and take more of their land is what he did. 390 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.680 And so his kingdom expanded that way. But most of 391 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.400 his kingdom, even though he was a great warrior, defeated 392 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:28.920 everybody fought against. Just about most of the land he 393 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.680 took was a diplomacy stuff even before his son, and 394 00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.480 then his son expanded the kingdom even more. It's really phenomenal. 395 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.839 But in this passage, you know, he's feeling like he's 396 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:45.480 surrounded all the time and it's just NonStop war, NonStop battles. 397 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.319 People coming after him, and he felt like they hated 398 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.079 him because they hate God. That was really kind of 399 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:54.400 his association. And so he's like, well, I don't care God, 400 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:56.759 you protect me from them because I just want you. 401 00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.519
