[3639.00 --> 3639.98] open your eyes |
[3639.98 --> 3640.52] and see |
[3640.52 --> 3641.04] that there are |
[3641.04 --> 3641.38] going to be |
[3641.38 --> 3642.02] challenges |
[3642.02 --> 3643.78] to our ability |
[3643.78 --> 3645.04] and challengers |
[3645.04 --> 3646.50] to our ability |
[3646.50 --> 3647.42] to remember |
[3647.42 --> 3648.08] that God |
[3648.08 --> 3648.94] is at work |
[3648.94 --> 3649.68] in the midst |
[3649.68 --> 3650.14] of whatever |
[3650.14 --> 3650.90] it is you're in. |
[3651.94 --> 3653.08] And these challenges |
[3653.08 --> 3653.96] are going to come |
[3653.96 --> 3654.50] primarily |
[3654.50 --> 3656.68] in two forms. |
[3657.88 --> 3658.34] Right? |
[3658.38 --> 3658.78] One of them |
[3658.78 --> 3659.74] is external |
[3659.74 --> 3661.02] and one of them |
[3661.02 --> 3661.64] is internal. |
[3663.40 --> 3663.60] Right? |
[3663.62 --> 3664.50] And for the external, |
[3664.68 --> 3665.02] and we've already |
[3665.02 --> 3665.46] said this, |
[3665.50 --> 3666.18] for the external, |
[3666.46 --> 3667.06] there's always |
[3667.06 --> 3668.12] going to be people |
[3668.12 --> 3669.92] like Joseph's brothers |
[3669.92 --> 3671.36] who say something like, |
[3671.46 --> 3672.48] here comes that dreamer. |
[3672.48 --> 3673.70] Let's kill him |
[3673.70 --> 3674.64] and see what comes |
[3674.64 --> 3675.80] of his dreams. |
[3675.96 --> 3676.16] Right? |
[3676.18 --> 3676.70] There's always |
[3676.70 --> 3677.80] going to be people |
[3677.80 --> 3679.66] who mock the dreams |
[3679.66 --> 3680.30] and the visions |
[3680.30 --> 3681.96] and the hopes of God. |
[3682.44 --> 3683.26] And in the midst |
[3683.26 --> 3684.44] of your great trial, |
[3684.86 --> 3686.04] it may be the case |
[3686.04 --> 3687.16] that someone will come along |
[3687.16 --> 3688.36] and want to quash |
[3688.36 --> 3689.62] God's hope in you. |
[3691.14 --> 3692.32] In the story of Job, |
[3692.96 --> 3693.76] which is another one |
[3693.76 --> 3695.58] of these great stories |
[3695.58 --> 3696.56] about human suffering |
[3696.56 --> 3697.60] and God's sovereignty, |
[3698.38 --> 3698.96] in the midst |
[3698.96 --> 3700.62] of Job's suffering, |
[3701.30 --> 3702.28] Job's wife |
[3702.28 --> 3703.44] is one of these |
[3703.44 --> 3704.44] external voices |
[3704.44 --> 3705.82] that comes to him |
[3705.82 --> 3706.34] and she says, |
[3706.66 --> 3707.48] are you still |
[3707.48 --> 3709.08] maintaining your integrity? |
[3709.88 --> 3711.46] Curse God and die, |
[3711.60 --> 3712.16] she says, |
[3712.50 --> 3713.66] in Job 2 verse 9. |
[3714.64 --> 3715.76] This is his own wife |
[3715.76 --> 3717.02] telling him to give up hope. |
[3717.22 --> 3718.10] This is his own wife |
[3718.10 --> 3718.94] telling him to let go |
[3718.94 --> 3720.02] of the promises of God. |
[3721.48 --> 3722.82] The reality is |
[3722.82 --> 3724.02] that in this life |
[3724.02 --> 3724.90] and in this world, |
[3725.06 --> 3725.96] there are people |
[3725.96 --> 3727.42] who are hopeless |
[3727.42 --> 3729.36] and who only feel better |
[3729.36 --> 3730.80] about their hopelessness |
[3730.80 --> 3731.94] when they can project it |
[3731.94 --> 3733.30] on to people around them. |
[3735.86 --> 3737.04] We are not meant |
[3737.04 --> 3737.86] to be alone |
[3737.86 --> 3739.08] and one of the ways |
[3739.08 --> 3739.82] that the desire |
[3739.82 --> 3740.60] for community |
[3740.60 --> 3741.90] is perverted |
[3741.90 --> 3743.04] and is corrupted |
[3743.04 --> 3743.76] by sin |
[3743.76 --> 3745.40] is that we bring others |
[3745.40 --> 3746.56] into our corruption. |
[3747.96 --> 3749.00] We bring others |
[3749.00 --> 3751.00] into our hopelessness, |
[3751.54 --> 3752.34] our nihilism, |
[3752.74 --> 3753.96] and we project it |
[3753.96 --> 3754.96] out onto them. |
[3754.96 --> 3758.98] Even as there are people |
[3758.98 --> 3760.28] trying to bring us down, |
[3760.40 --> 3761.52] trying to make us forget |
[3761.52 --> 3762.92] the promises of God |
[3762.92 --> 3764.62] based on their own |
[3764.62 --> 3766.06] experiences of hopelessness, |
