[4824.84 --> 4825.66] Ephesians 1
[4825.66 --> 4825.98] says,
[4826.34 --> 4827.02] for he chose
[4827.02 --> 4827.82] us in him
[4827.82 --> 4828.32] before the
[4828.32 --> 4828.96] creation of
[4828.96 --> 4829.34] the world
[4829.34 --> 4830.02] to be holy
[4830.02 --> 4830.68] and blameless
[4830.68 --> 4831.34] in his sight.
[4831.74 --> 4832.54] Jeremiah 1
[4832.54 --> 4832.88] says,
[4832.88 --> 4833.42] before I
[4833.42 --> 4833.90] formed you
[4833.90 --> 4834.42] in the womb,
[4834.54 --> 4835.18] I knew you.
[4835.58 --> 4836.02] Before you
[4836.02 --> 4836.58] were born,
[4836.74 --> 4837.68] I set you
[4837.68 --> 4838.50] apart.
[4840.68 --> 4841.46] Last week,
[4841.74 --> 4842.28] or two weeks
[4842.28 --> 4842.50] ago,
[4842.50 --> 4843.52] we looked
[4843.52 --> 4843.76] at the
[4843.76 --> 4844.20] God hint
[4844.20 --> 4845.20] to keep
[4845.20 --> 4845.86] these things
[4845.86 --> 4846.32] in mind,
[4846.42 --> 4847.16] calling ourselves
[4847.16 --> 4847.72] to look
[4847.72 --> 4848.28] to the
[4848.28 --> 4848.78] hope-filled
[4848.78 --> 4849.58] vision and
[4849.58 --> 4850.20] promises of
[4850.20 --> 4850.88] God for
[4850.88 --> 4851.40] life when
[4851.40 --> 4852.16] things are
[4852.16 --> 4853.80] so awful
[4853.80 --> 4854.62] around us
[4854.62 --> 4854.96] that we
[4854.96 --> 4855.82] have only
[4855.82 --> 4856.42] left the
[4856.42 --> 4856.84] vision of
[4856.84 --> 4857.32] a future
[4857.32 --> 4858.06] of all
[4858.06 --> 4858.36] things
[4858.36 --> 4858.80] restored.
[4859.44 --> 4859.84] A vision
[4859.84 --> 4860.30] of God's
[4860.30 --> 4860.72] victory
[4860.72 --> 4862.12] to sustain
[4862.12 --> 4862.50] us in
[4862.50 --> 4862.90] the present.
[4863.30 --> 4863.90] This week,
[4863.98 --> 4864.66] we remember
[4864.66 --> 4865.80] meanwhile,
[4866.48 --> 4866.94] to know
[4866.94 --> 4867.62] that God
[4867.62 --> 4868.36] is at
[4868.36 --> 4869.32] work in
[4869.32 --> 4869.92] the present
[4869.92 --> 4870.54] and in
[4870.54 --> 4871.14] the past
[4871.14 --> 4872.14] for whatever
[4872.14 --> 4872.86] this moment
[4872.86 --> 4873.94] might be.
[4874.06 --> 4874.60] The meanwhile
[4874.60 --> 4875.36] of God's
[4875.36 --> 4876.14] activity in
[4876.14 --> 4876.60] the world
[4876.60 --> 4877.58] is eternal
[4877.58 --> 4878.34] current.
[4878.44 --> 4878.82] And so we
[4878.82 --> 4879.20] can look
[4879.20 --> 4880.22] forward with
[4880.22 --> 4880.78] hope and
[4880.78 --> 4881.26] we can look
[4881.26 --> 4882.16] back with
[4882.16 --> 4882.56] assurance.
[4882.70 --> 4883.04] We can look
[4883.04 --> 4883.92] forward to
[4883.92 --> 4884.48] the day when
[4884.48 --> 4885.04] God's victory
[4885.04 --> 4885.36] will be
[4885.36 --> 4885.84] complete and
[4885.84 --> 4886.26] we can look
[4886.26 --> 4887.24] back knowing
[4887.24 --> 4887.84] that through
[4887.84 --> 4888.50] it all,
[4888.86 --> 4889.76] God is
[4889.76 --> 4890.54] God,
[4890.64 --> 4891.08] that God
[4891.08 --> 4892.00] is sovereign,
[4892.14 --> 4892.70] that he is
[4892.70 --> 4893.86] guiding his
[4893.86 --> 4895.36] story to
[4895.36 --> 4895.86] the places
[4895.86 --> 4896.44] he would
[4896.44 --> 4897.16] have us
