[1330.94 --> 1332.26] of Jesus,
[1332.52 --> 1332.98] our Savior,
[1333.74 --> 1334.80] the true foundation
[1334.80 --> 1336.12] of our joy.
[1337.50 --> 1338.78] So that's what we look
[1338.78 --> 1339.58] forward to.
[1342.22 --> 1343.40] That's our hope
[1343.40 --> 1344.26] and that's what
[1344.26 --> 1345.26] the Advent season
[1345.26 --> 1346.02] calls for.
[1347.24 --> 1348.26] But I sigh here
[1348.26 --> 1350.54] because it's not easy
[1350.54 --> 1351.30] when we wait.
[1352.40 --> 1352.56] Right?
[1353.02 --> 1354.54] Especially in our generation,
[1354.66 --> 1355.22] I want to say.
[1355.82 --> 1356.96] It's not easy waiting.
[1358.06 --> 1358.22] Right?
[1359.06 --> 1360.10] Same day delivery
[1360.10 --> 1360.76] from Amazon.
[1361.20 --> 1362.52] That's even becoming
[1362.52 --> 1363.36] difficult to wait.
[1363.76 --> 1365.08] Don't even get me started
[1365.08 --> 1365.92] with Canada Post.
[1366.00 --> 1366.20] Right?
[1367.26 --> 1370.08] We have a hard time waiting.
[1370.34 --> 1371.96] It doesn't come easy for us.
[1372.10 --> 1374.00] It doesn't come natural for us,
[1374.04 --> 1374.78] I want to say,
[1374.84 --> 1376.20] in our sinful brokenness.
[1376.20 --> 1379.10] And because of this
[1379.10 --> 1380.18] difficulty in waiting,
[1380.96 --> 1381.76] this difficulty
[1381.76 --> 1382.74] bleeds into
[1382.74 --> 1383.52] our difficulty
[1383.52 --> 1384.64] in repenting
[1384.64 --> 1385.84] and looking for God's will
[1385.84 --> 1386.66] in the first place.
[1388.32 --> 1389.40] In other words,
[1389.50 --> 1390.58] instead of finding joy
[1390.58 --> 1391.30] in God
[1391.30 --> 1392.66] and trying to discern
[1392.66 --> 1393.44] His ways,
[1393.82 --> 1395.26] it's so tempting
[1395.26 --> 1397.02] and it's so easy
[1397.02 --> 1398.66] to find pleasures
[1398.66 --> 1399.42] and happiness
[1399.42 --> 1400.00] and joy
[1400.00 --> 1400.86] in our own ways.
[1400.86 --> 1403.62] So the question
[1403.62 --> 1404.64] I want to ask is,
[1405.18 --> 1406.66] where or in what
[1406.66 --> 1407.78] do you find
[1407.78 --> 1409.08] happiness and joy in?
[1411.68 --> 1412.74] In our attempt
[1412.74 --> 1413.80] to find real joy,
[1414.80 --> 1416.18] we often fall
[1416.18 --> 1417.08] to simple things,
[1417.14 --> 1417.52] don't we?
[1418.60 --> 1419.74] Phones is one thing.
[1420.10 --> 1420.56] That's a simple,
[1420.66 --> 1421.40] that's an easy one
[1421.40 --> 1421.98] to call out.
[1422.42 --> 1423.04] Our phones.
[1423.70 --> 1424.64] Or games.
[1425.10 --> 1425.94] Or work.
[1426.66 --> 1427.72] Many of us struggle
[1427.72 --> 1429.38] with working too much.
[1429.84 --> 1430.72] Working too hard.
[1431.22 --> 1432.02] Devoting our lives
[1432.02 --> 1433.18] too much into our work
[1433.18 --> 1434.30] because we want
[1434.30 --> 1435.42] to find satisfaction
[1435.42 --> 1436.58] and real joy
[1436.58 --> 1437.46] in something
[1437.46 --> 1438.80] in our lives.
[1439.82 --> 1440.38] Or,
[1440.78 --> 1442.16] more destructive things
[1442.16 --> 1443.38] like pornography,
[1444.08 --> 1444.48] drugs,
[1444.94 --> 1445.36] fame,
[1445.82 --> 1447.04] and other abusive things.
[1448.66 --> 1449.42] And due to the
[1449.42 --> 1450.30] impermanence
[1450.30 --> 1451.82] of such non-God things
[1451.82 --> 1452.70] that we depend on,
[1452.94 --> 1454.12] it's so short-lived
[1454.12 --> 1455.36] and we end up
[1455.36 --> 1456.52] craving more and more of it.
[1456.58 --> 1457.68] That's what addiction means.
[1459.46 --> 1460.42] These things
[1460.42 --> 1461.52] so easily become
[1461.52 --> 1462.08] that addiction
[1462.08 --> 1463.08] that gets out of hand,
[1463.36 --> 1464.38] that wreaks destruction
[1464.38 --> 1465.88] and chaos in our lives.
[1466.00 --> 1467.10] But when you think of it,
[1467.80 --> 1469.90] the core of that addiction
[1469.90 --> 1472.08] is a deep desire
[1472.08 --> 1472.54] and longing
