[3922.94 --> 3923.78] and turn to him |
[3923.78 --> 3925.26] with gratitude and praise, |
[3925.60 --> 3926.60] you will be, |
[3926.68 --> 3927.56] or so it feels, |
[3927.90 --> 3929.26] welcomed with open arms. |
[3929.26 --> 3931.36] But go to him |
[3931.36 --> 3932.56] when your need is desperate, |
[3932.94 --> 3934.12] when all other help |
[3934.12 --> 3934.76] is vain, |
[3934.86 --> 3936.06] and what do you find? |
[3936.56 --> 3938.62] A door slammed in your face |
[3938.62 --> 3940.34] and a sound of a bolting |
[3940.34 --> 3941.36] and double bolting |
[3941.36 --> 3942.56] on the inside. |
[3943.48 --> 3944.42] After that, |
[3945.42 --> 3945.78] silence. |
[3947.78 --> 3949.04] You may as well turn away. |
[3950.30 --> 3951.60] The longer you wait, |
[3951.60 --> 3952.84] the more emphatic |
[3952.84 --> 3953.92] the silence becomes. |
[3955.12 --> 3956.28] There are no lights |
[3956.28 --> 3956.94] in the windows. |
[3958.02 --> 3959.42] It might be an empty house. |
[3960.56 --> 3961.92] Was it ever inhabited? |
[3963.56 --> 3965.50] It seemed so once, |
[3966.20 --> 3967.50] and that seeming |
[3967.50 --> 3969.00] was as strong as this. |
[3969.20 --> 3970.04] What can this mean? |
[3970.24 --> 3971.56] Why is he so present, |
[3971.64 --> 3972.78] a commander in our time |
[3972.78 --> 3973.48] of prosperity, |
[3973.86 --> 3975.34] and so very absent, |
[3975.50 --> 3976.60] a help in a time |
[3976.60 --> 3977.22] of trouble? |
[3977.22 --> 3980.40] Not that I am, |
[3980.70 --> 3981.64] I think, |
[3982.14 --> 3983.04] in much danger |
[3983.04 --> 3984.52] of ceasing to believe |
[3984.52 --> 3985.18] in God. |
[3985.74 --> 3987.06] The real danger |
[3987.06 --> 3987.92] is of coming |
[3987.92 --> 3988.66] to believe |
[3988.66 --> 3990.30] such dreadful things |
[3990.30 --> 3991.20] about him. |
[3992.06 --> 3993.40] The conclusion I dread |
[3993.40 --> 3994.00] is not, |
[3994.34 --> 3995.18] so there's no God |
[3995.18 --> 3995.94] after all, |
[3996.28 --> 3996.58] but, |
[3997.34 --> 3998.62] so this is what |
[3998.62 --> 4000.14] God's really like. |
[4001.10 --> 4002.22] Deceive yourself |
[4002.22 --> 4003.58] no longer. |
[4003.58 --> 4003.68] No longer. |
[4007.22 --> 4009.30] some people |
[4009.30 --> 4009.88] just have a way |
[4009.88 --> 4010.42] with words. |
[4014.34 --> 4015.94] But if you've mourned |
[4015.94 --> 4019.38] a deeply loved person, |
[4020.38 --> 4022.62] maybe you know this feeling. |
[4025.74 --> 4026.30] Right? |
[4026.34 --> 4027.50] That's what I'm talking about |
[4027.50 --> 4028.34] when I say |
[4028.34 --> 4029.20] that we have our own |
[4029.20 --> 4030.26] internal challenges |
[4030.26 --> 4031.22] to remembering |
[4031.22 --> 4032.40] meanwhile. |
[4032.40 --> 4036.06] And this is exactly |
[4036.06 --> 4036.42] why, |
[4036.56 --> 4037.46] in this moment, |
[4037.60 --> 4038.92] in these feelings, |
[4039.20 --> 4040.98] in these experienced |
[4040.98 --> 4041.44] realities, |
[4041.52 --> 4042.64] this is exactly why |
[4042.64 --> 4043.78] it's so important |
[4043.78 --> 4045.56] to surround ourselves |
[4045.56 --> 4047.02] with gospel visions |
[4047.02 --> 4048.36] and promises of God |
[4048.36 --> 4049.56] when things are good. |
[4050.38 --> 4050.60] Right? |
[4050.60 --> 4051.40] Because the deeper |
[4051.40 --> 4052.82] the well of experience |
[4052.82 --> 4054.06] and knowledge of God, |
[4054.40 --> 4056.22] the longer we can draw |
[4056.22 --> 4057.70] strength from him |
[4057.70 --> 4059.02] and from his spirit |
[4059.02 --> 4059.78] within us |
[4059.78 --> 4061.20] when things outside |
[4061.20 --> 4062.28] are pure chaos. |
[4063.40 --> 4064.72] And this is another reason |
[4064.72 --> 4065.64] why it's so important |
[4065.64 --> 4066.64] for us to wrestle |
[4066.64 --> 4068.02] with God's sovereignty |
[4068.02 --> 4069.00] and human suffering |
[4069.00 --> 4069.74] right now |
[4069.74 --> 4070.84] because the truth is |
[4070.84 --> 4072.08] we can't put it off |
[4072.08 --> 4073.00] because who knows |
[4073.00 --> 4074.30] what tomorrow's going to bring. |
[4074.72 --> 4075.50] Who knows if you |
