[4137.54 --> 4138.30] That somehow |
[4138.30 --> 4139.82] we have |
[4139.82 --> 4141.20] power over God |
[4141.20 --> 4142.60] to manipulate him |
[4142.60 --> 4144.06] and to coerce him |
[4144.06 --> 4145.00] into acting |
[4145.00 --> 4145.84] on our behalf. |
[4146.96 --> 4147.80] Now this shows up |
[4147.80 --> 4148.66] so many ways |
[4148.66 --> 4149.74] in our lives. |
[4151.02 --> 4151.18] Right? |
[4151.26 --> 4152.26] A couple examples |
[4152.26 --> 4152.88] and these are just |
[4152.88 --> 4153.60] scattershot. |
[4154.16 --> 4155.14] I've been good |
[4155.14 --> 4156.04] all my life |
[4156.04 --> 4156.74] why doesn't God |
[4156.74 --> 4157.44] give me a husband? |
[4159.94 --> 4160.94] I've never cheated |
[4160.94 --> 4161.58] on anything. |
[4162.08 --> 4163.52] I did everything right. |
[4163.52 --> 4164.80] why won't God |
[4164.80 --> 4165.82] get me into that school? |
[4167.98 --> 4168.18] Right? |
[4168.20 --> 4168.66] I've prayed |
[4168.66 --> 4169.44] all the prayers |
[4169.44 --> 4170.00] and I've read |
[4170.00 --> 4170.86] all the scriptures. |
[4171.32 --> 4171.92] I read the Bible |
[4171.92 --> 4172.58] back to back |
[4172.58 --> 4173.32] to back to back |
[4173.32 --> 4174.08] three times |
[4174.08 --> 4175.06] in one year. |
[4175.42 --> 4176.02] Why didn't God |
[4176.02 --> 4176.68] heal my mom? |
[4179.42 --> 4180.82] If God is good |
[4180.82 --> 4182.14] why would he |
[4182.14 --> 4182.84] let this happen |
[4182.84 --> 4183.28] to me? |
[4185.30 --> 4186.14] Remember that quote |
[4186.14 --> 4187.66] from Allender and Longman? |
[4187.98 --> 4188.12] Right? |
[4188.72 --> 4189.86] This reveals |
[4189.86 --> 4190.68] what our heart |
[4190.68 --> 4191.38] is doing |
[4191.38 --> 4192.42] with God. |
[4194.32 --> 4195.22] And at best |
[4195.22 --> 4196.84] this way of thinking |
[4196.84 --> 4197.82] about our struggles |
[4197.82 --> 4198.62] and our hardships |
[4198.62 --> 4199.92] turns God |
[4199.92 --> 4201.20] into a heavenly |
[4201.20 --> 4201.92] grandparent |
[4201.92 --> 4202.68] whose job it is |
[4202.68 --> 4203.52] to spoil us. |
[4203.80 --> 4204.44] At worst |
[4204.44 --> 4206.08] it removes God |
[4206.08 --> 4207.18] as God |
[4207.18 --> 4208.22] and puts us |
[4208.22 --> 4209.12] in his place. |
[4211.46 --> 4211.86] And so |
[4211.86 --> 4214.40] and here's the |
[4214.40 --> 4215.14] counseling part |
[4215.14 --> 4215.96] that comes in. |
[4217.40 --> 4218.54] How do you know |
[4218.54 --> 4220.24] when you are doing |
[4220.24 --> 4221.26] this in your own heart? |
[4222.16 --> 4223.16] How do you know |
[4223.16 --> 4223.86] when this is what's |
[4223.86 --> 4225.32] shaping your mind |
[4225.32 --> 4225.88] and attitude |
[4225.88 --> 4226.88] about God? |
[4227.30 --> 4228.00] And to answer that |
[4228.00 --> 4229.64] we have to look at |
[4229.64 --> 4231.06] what comes next. |
[4231.28 --> 4232.10] So what comes next |
[4232.10 --> 4232.66] in the psalm |
[4232.66 --> 4233.86] and what comes next |
[4233.86 --> 4234.86] in our own lives |
[4234.86 --> 4235.84] as we're operating |
[4235.84 --> 4236.62] out of this way |
[4236.62 --> 4237.08] of seeing |
[4237.08 --> 4237.94] and being |
[4237.94 --> 4239.00] in the world. |
[4239.26 --> 4240.04] So first the psalm. |
[4240.70 --> 4241.00] Look |
[4241.00 --> 4242.70] look at verse 7 |
[4242.70 --> 4244.84] in Psalm 77 |
[4244.84 --> 4246.58] and as I read this again |
[4246.58 --> 4247.76] pay attention |
[4247.76 --> 4249.36] to the adverbs |
[4249.36 --> 4252.74] will the Lord |
[4252.74 --> 4253.56] reject me |
[4253.56 --> 4255.82] forever? |
[4257.82 --> 4258.60] Will he |
[4258.60 --> 4260.02] never |
[4260.02 --> 4261.54] show his face |
[4261.54 --> 4261.90] again? |
[4262.62 --> 4263.16] Has his |
[4263.16 --> 4264.20] unfailing love |
