[4075.50 --> 4076.38] will have a tomorrow.
[4079.16 --> 4079.84] And so,
[4080.62 --> 4081.40] remembering
[4081.40 --> 4082.68] meanwhile
[4082.68 --> 4084.40] is critical.
[4085.00 --> 4085.56] Critical
[4085.56 --> 4087.08] if we're going to survive
[4087.08 --> 4087.96] and thrive
[4087.96 --> 4089.00] in times
[4089.00 --> 4090.32] of trial.
[4092.40 --> 4092.66] Now,
[4092.68 --> 4093.18] I mentioned
[4093.18 --> 4093.86] that meanwhile
[4093.86 --> 4095.94] means at the same time
[4095.94 --> 4097.26] or while this was happening.
[4097.42 --> 4099.04] It's an attempt
[4099.04 --> 4099.84] by the narrator
[4099.84 --> 4100.90] to get our eyes
[4100.90 --> 4102.48] to focus on something
[4102.48 --> 4103.10] beyond
[4103.10 --> 4104.56] what is obviously
[4104.56 --> 4105.68] before us.
[4107.58 --> 4108.62] Here's the truth
[4108.62 --> 4109.90] of a sovereign God.
[4110.00 --> 4110.94] Part of what makes him
[4110.94 --> 4111.74] God, in fact.
[4111.82 --> 4111.90] Right?
[4111.94 --> 4112.38] That's what I mean
[4112.38 --> 4113.00] when I said earlier
[4113.00 --> 4114.88] the godness of God.
[4114.88 --> 4117.34] the meanwhile
[4117.34 --> 4118.56] of God
[4118.56 --> 4120.48] isn't limited
[4120.48 --> 4122.52] to your present.
[4123.84 --> 4125.04] The meanwhile
[4125.04 --> 4125.58] of God
[4125.58 --> 4126.26] isn't limited
[4126.26 --> 4127.76] to your present
[4127.76 --> 4128.68] circumstance.
[4128.84 --> 4128.92] Right?
[4128.98 --> 4129.56] This god
[4129.56 --> 4131.06] stands above time
[4131.06 --> 4132.50] and apart from time
[4132.50 --> 4133.94] and so his activity
[4133.94 --> 4135.12] for the present
[4135.12 --> 4136.18] isn't limited
[4136.18 --> 4137.52] to the present.
[4138.66 --> 4139.26] The meanwhile
[4139.26 --> 4139.80] of God
[4139.80 --> 4140.50] isn't limited
[4140.50 --> 4141.28] to the present.
[4141.62 --> 4142.34] God's activity
[4142.34 --> 4143.36] for the present
[4143.36 --> 4144.30] isn't limited
[4144.30 --> 4145.40] to the here and now.
[4146.32 --> 4146.96] And I get this
[4146.96 --> 4147.64] from the story
[4147.64 --> 4148.68] of Joseph.
[4148.84 --> 4149.10] Notice
[4149.10 --> 4150.60] what that means.
[4151.52 --> 4152.38] At the very
[4152.38 --> 4153.54] beginning
[4153.54 --> 4158.68] they sat down
[4158.68 --> 4160.16] to eat their meal
[4160.16 --> 4161.02] and they looked up
[4161.02 --> 4161.66] and they saw
[4161.66 --> 4163.16] a caravan
[4163.16 --> 4164.14] of Ishmaelites
[4164.14 --> 4165.72] coming from Gilead.
[4166.64 --> 4166.96] Judah
[4166.96 --> 4168.32] said to
[4168.32 --> 4168.92] his
[4168.92 --> 4169.82] brothers
[4169.82 --> 4172.20] what will we gain
[4172.20 --> 4173.00] if we kill
[4173.00 --> 4173.60] our brother
[4173.60 --> 4174.66] and cover up
[4174.66 --> 4175.16] his blood.
[4176.06 --> 4176.80] Come let's
[4176.80 --> 4177.30] sell him
[4177.30 --> 4178.76] to the Ishmaelites.
[4179.12 --> 4179.54] And so
[4179.54 --> 4180.28] when the Midianite
[4180.28 --> 4181.00] merchants came
[4181.00 --> 4181.86] they sold him
[4181.86 --> 4183.26] for 20 shekels
[4183.26 --> 4183.70] of silver
[4183.70 --> 4185.26] to the Ishmaelites
[4185.26 --> 4185.90] who took him
[4185.90 --> 4186.84] to Egypt.
[4188.44 --> 4189.54] As we reflect
[4189.54 --> 4190.00] on this
[4190.00 --> 4190.50] remembering
[4190.50 --> 4190.98] meanwhile
[4190.98 --> 4191.52] in the midst
[4191.52 --> 4191.98] of suffering
[4191.98 --> 4193.10] take a moment
[4193.10 --> 4194.58] and zoom out
[4194.58 --> 4194.96] with me
[4194.96 --> 4195.32] we're going to do
