0:24Bible department family, welcome to day
0:26276.
0:28I'm super excited. We are crossing over
0:31from book two of the Psalms into book
0:35three of the Psalms. If you don't know,
0:37Psalms is divided into five individual
0:40books because these Psalms or these
0:43songs of praise and prayer are supposed
0:47to be creating a Torah for the people of
0:50God everywhere they go. The presence of
0:53God is not supposed to only be
0:55experienced in the temple, but the
0:57presence of God can be experienced
0:59anywhere where you create an altar unto
1:03the Lord. So that's what Psalms is
1:05designed to do. And so now we are
1:06getting into book three. So today we are
1:10looking at Psalms 73,74 and 75. Hey, if
1:14you've done the reading, everything I'm
1:16going to say is going to make perfect
1:17sense. I'm going to give you context
1:18clues and I'm going to give you as many
1:20nerdy nuggets as I can fit into this
1:22episode. But I got a lot today. And
1:24we're always going to leave with a
1:26timeless truth so that you can apply the
1:28word of God to your daily life. So for
1:31anyone uh who has not done the reading,
1:34this is a great place to stop the video,
1:37pause the audio, and go get the reading
1:39done. Okay. Psalm 7374 and 75 is what we
1:44are tackling today. For everyone that's
1:47done the reading, let's dive in. All
1:50right. Book three. Okay, everybody say
1:53book three. Book three. Book three of
1:56the Psalms is actually going to include
1:5817 Psalms total. This is Psalm 73 all
2:02the way to Psalm 89. All right. You'll
2:05probably immediately notice that the
2:08five books that encapsulate the five
2:11books of the Psalms are not evenly
2:13split, right? Like book one is massive,
2:17right? Book three is obviously small.
2:19One of the things that you're probably
2:21going to notice immediately as soon as
2:23you pick up your Bible and look at Psalm
2:2573 is that we're going to get a psalm of
2:28Asaf. A psalm of Asaf. Now, we've had a
2:32psalm by my brother Asaf in the past. Uh
2:35I believe that it was Psalm 50. Somebody
2:39can fact check me. Let me know in the
2:41comments if that is right. I think it
2:44was Psalm 50, but I'm not 100%. I guess
2:47I could check it. I can fact check
2:49myself. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
2:51Let's see if I can find Psalm 50
2:52quickly.
2:54That's Psalm 44. Psalm 50. Yeah, Psalm
2:5650. A psalm of Asaf. All right. So,
2:59ASAF's back. Asaf Rocky. Not playing.
3:03Okay. My man Asaf's back. All right. And
3:06so, let me give you context because all
3:08three of the psalms that we're going to
3:10look at today are written by ASAF. Okay.
3:13So, if you've got your Bible or if
3:15you've got maybe Bible software like I
3:18do, okay, you can go to First Chronicles
3:221 Chronicles 16:5 and 2 Chronicles 5:12.
3:27Okay? I want you to remember these these
3:30I'm going to give it to you as
3:31aiteration so you can remember it. Okay?
3:33Asaf the architect. Okay? Asaf the
3:35architect. Oh, David, King David is
3:39going to reimagine what temple worship
3:41is going to look like. Before King
3:43David, there is no singing or
3:46instruments or musicians. That's not a
3:48part of worship. Worship was offering
3:52your animal sacrifice. It was serving in
3:55the temple, but it did not include
3:57singing. So, this is why David is a man
3:59after God's own heart. He's like, "Man,
4:01we should really sing to God." Like
4:03nobody before David was thinking to
4:05themselves, God likes music. All right,
4:08but David is like, man, worship isn't
4:11just practical. It's not just taking
4:14care of the guilt or getting forgiveness
4:17from God or sacrificing an animal to
4:19God, but man, singing has a way of
4:23connecting us emotionally to God. And
4:27David begins to incorporate singing.
4:29Okay, so we see this in 1 Chronicles
4:31chapter 16. Okay. 1st Chronicles
4:3516:5. I'm actually going to start
4:37reading in verse four. King David
4:39appointed some of the Levites to
4:41minister before the ark of the Lord to
4:43extol. It's a good word. Thank and
4:47praise the Lord, the God of Israel. Asaf
4:50was the chief. Okay, so Asaf is
4:53important. And next to him in rank were
4:55Zachchariah, then Jazziel, and then a
4:58bunch of other names that we don't
5:00really need to talk about, but they were
5:02to play the liars and harps. Asaf was to
5:05sound the symbols, and Banayiah and
5:08Jehazio the priest were to blow the
5:10trumpets regularly before the ark of the
5:13covenant of God. So David is going to
5:16institute these people to what? Extol,
5:18thank the Lord with singing and with
5:22instruments. Okay. So, Asaf is literally
5:25a part of the foundation of architecting
5:29this new way of worshiping Yahweh. So,
5:32Asaf the architect. You can also read
5:34about this in 2 Chronicles. 2 Chronicles
5:385:12. Okay. It says this, "All the
5:40Levites who were musicians, Asaf,
5:43He-Man, Jedithan, and their sons and
5:46relatives stood on the east side of the
5:49altar dressed in fine linen and playing
5:51symbols, harps, and liars. They were
5:53accompanied by 120 priests sounding
5:55trumpets. Okay, this a this a choir.
5:58This is a lot of people. All right. The
6:00trumpeters and musicians joined in
6:02unison to give praise and thanks to the
6:04Lord accompanied by trumpet symbols and
6:07other instruments. The singers raised
6:09their voices in praise to the Lord and
6:12sang, "He is good. His love endures
6:14forever." Then, oh, that's good. Then
6:18the temple of the Lord was filled with
6:20the cloud. Okay. What's the cloud? the
6:22glory cloud of Yahweh and the priests
6:25could not perform their service because
6:27of the cloud for the glory of the Lord
6:30filled the temple of God. Okay. The
6:33singing and the musicians and the the
6:37thanks and the praise that was offered
6:39to God prompts the cloud of glory to
6:43fall so that the priests could not even
6:45perform the service. And by service that
6:47means offering up animal sacrifices to
6:50the Lord. And so we begin to see in 2
6:53Chronicles that this isn't just
6:55descriptive. This is prescriptive. That
6:57there's something about singing. There's
7:00something about playing music that
7:02connects our hearts to God and that God
7:04responds to it. God's about it. Like God
7:07likes it. Okay? So David isn't just some
7:09rogue crazy person who's trying to
7:12implement a form of worship that God's
7:14not about. God likes this. And God
7:17responds to this with his glory cloud
7:20resting. One of the ways that I
7:21communicate this on stage a lot is that
7:24we think about worship as inhale and
7:27exhale, right? That when we worship the
7:29Lord, it's like incense rising up to
7:32God. And we want God to breathe in our
7:35praise, to breathe in our worship. And
7:37anytime God breathes in, that means he's
7:40going to breathe out. And when God
7:42breathes out, his cloud, his wind, his
7:47breath begins to fill our sanctuaries,
7:50begins to fill the rooms that we're in.
7:53And the presence of God falls as a
7:57response to us lifting up praise and
8:00lifting up adoration and lifting up
8:03worship to God. So, I want you to think
8:06when when you are in praise and worship,
8:09if you're tired, if you're weary, if
8:10you're if you're if you're burnt out, if
8:13you're anxious and you need the breath
8:15of God, then how about you offer incense
8:19to the Lord so that he breathes in
8:21praise and then breathes out his
8:24presence into your life and into the
8:26sanctuary. So often that's
8:28counterintuitive. We think to ourselves,
8:30man, I'm drained. I just need God. Well,
8:33in being drained, what you need is to
8:35worship the Lord so that you can begin
8:38to get renewal and refreshing from God.
8:40All right, family. The wait is over. My
8:44brand new book, Crushing Chaos, is out
8:47now and available everywhere books are
8:50sold literally today. I walked into a
8:53Barnes & Noble and I signed a bunch of
8:56copies at a physical location. So, you
8:58can grab this book at a physical Barnes
9:01& Noble or you can go to a Books a
9:03Million or Amazon or anywhere books are
9:06sold and grab a copy. If you enjoy
9:10reading the Bible from an ancient
9:12perspective, if you understand that the
9:14beauty of scripture is actually knowing
9:16it in context, then you'll love this
9:19book. And if there's any chaos in your
9:21personal life, I think that reading the
9:24Bible from an ancient perspective can
9:26actually help to crush the chaos in your
9:29life. I think this book is going to be a
9:30New York Times bestseller. I really do.
9:33I think we wrote a good one. I think you
9:35should get a copy today. All right, back
9:38to the episode. So, here's the context.
9:40Okay, the descendants of Asaf are going
9:44to be the ones who collect the psalms
9:48that we're looking at today and most of
9:50the psalms for book three. Okay, the
9:53descendants of Asaf. Why do we know that
9:56the descendants of Asaf are the ones
9:57collecting Asaf's psalms? Well, Ezra
10:01chapter 2 verse 41 actually tells us
10:04that that's exactly what the descendants
10:06of Asaf did. And it's going to tell us
10:08when. And so the context for these
10:11psalms, not in their writing, but in
10:14their assembling is going to be when the
10:18exiles from Babylon return to Jerusalem
10:22and start rebuilding Jerusalem. So the
10:25context for these psalms is return and
10:28rebuilding. Return and rebuilding. I
10:31could preach and teach on this right
10:34here that hundreds of years after Asaf
10:37has lived, his descendants are still
10:41part of the worship, part of the fabric
10:44of the worship. Talk about a legacy that
10:48you lived such a life of worship and
10:52praise that your descendants are still
10:54musicians. So this is what it says in
10:56Ezra 2:41. Remember Ezra is tasked uh
11:01with the job of helping to rebuild the
11:04temple as Nehemiah is rebuilding the
11:07wall. Here we get Ezra chapter 2:41. The
11:10musicians, the descendants of Asaf are
11:13listed as people who are helping to
11:17rebuild Jerusalem in the wake of the
11:20return from exile. So I want you to just
11:24know that's the context. Okay? That's
11:26context for who Asaf is contact context
11:29for his descendants. So these psalms are
11:32being assembled in a time where the
11:36people are happy that they're back in
11:38the land. But it's a little bittersweet
11:41because although they're back in the
11:42land, the land has been ruined,
11:44ransacked, ravaged, okay, by the
11:47Babylonians and by other raiding groups
11:50that have continued to come into
11:52Jerusalem and and tear it to pieces. So
11:55these psalms come at a pivotal point in
11:58Israel's history. Okay, that's context.
12:00Let me try to give you as many nerdy
12:01nuggets as I can. Okay, first of all,
12:03Psalm 73 is a wisdom psalm. You can tell
12:08as soon as you start reading Psalm 73,
12:10it sounds a lot like questions that are
12:12being asked in the book of Job. Psalm
12:1473, Asaf is gonna confess, okay? For I
12:18envied the arrogant when I saw the
12:20prosperity of the wicked. Like, man, why
12:23do the wicked prosper? Verse 13, surely
12:27in vain I have kept my heart pure and
12:30have washed my hands in innocence. I
12:32don't know if you've ever felt that way.
12:34Like, man, it's not even worth it to
12:37live righteously because there are
12:39people living ratchet who are winning at
12:42life. And so, Asaf is being honest. He's
12:45like, "Wait a second, man. The arrogant
12:47and the wicked, they're prospering. So,
12:50it's in vain that I've kept the commands
12:52of God and kept my heart pure. And um
12:55I'll say two things to kind of connect
12:57that to modern day life. Actually, one
13:00of is from my wife. I remember when we
13:03got married, my wife was a virgin. And
13:05uh I remember her saying like it was
13:07kind of hard to stay a virgin because
13:10she just felt like there were all these
13:12girls who weren't honoring God with
13:15their physical bodies. And it was almost
13:17like they were getting rewarded by
13:19getting married and being in these
13:21awesome relationships. And again, my
13:24wife almost began to take on this idea.
13:26It's in vain that I've kept my heart
13:28pure and have washed my hands in
13:30innocence. like, man, there are people
13:33out here who are not sacrificing to the
13:35Lord to the level that I'm sacrificing
13:37to God, and they they seem fine. Okay?
13:41And so, this is a wisdom psalm because
13:44Asaf is asking and presenting God with
13:47the same kind of questions that Solomon
13:50and Job and Ecclesiastes and the wisdom
13:52literature of the Bible is presenting to
13:54God. Why is it that bad things happen to
13:57good people and good things happen to
13:59bad people? It's an age-old question and
14:02what we are going to get is God's not
14:05going to answer that question. He's not
14:06going to answer it in Job and he
14:08definitely is not going to answer it
14:09here in Psalm 73. And I want to begin to
14:12teach you this idea that you can find
14:14this in verse 23. You can find this in
14:17verse 25. And you can find this in verse
14:1928. Okay? Chapter 73. Psalm 73. This is
14:24kind of where the psalm begins to shift.
14:26says this, "When I tried to understand
14:28all this," okay, so this isn't a psalm
14:30of praise. It's a psalm of wisdom." He's
14:32trying to understand something. When I
14:34tried to understand all this, it
14:36troubled me deeply. Like what benefit is
14:39there to being a Christian or to being
14:42saved or to living righteously till I
14:44entered the sanctuary of God? Then I
14:47understood their final destiny. Okay?
14:50And then I entered the sanctuary of God
14:53and in drawing near to God began not to
14:57bring answers but began to help me to
15:01experience and encounter and appreciate
15:05God's presence. So I want to I want to
15:07give you this framework. The thing that
15:10we are now going to see through Psalm 73
15:12is that answers is are not what humans
15:15need. The presence of God is what we
15:17need. And so the psalm, the psalmist is
15:21going to begin to realize that I thought
15:24I wanted answers for these questions,
15:26but really God's presence is more
15:28important than answers. Okay? And so I
15:31want to read verse 23 to you. Verse 23,
15:33yet I am always with you. You hear that?
15:37I am with you and you hold me by my
15:40right hand. Uh Psalm 25, I mean verse
15:4325, sorry. Psalm 73:25 says this, "Whom
15:48have I in heaven but you? In earth has
15:51nothing I desire besides you." You see
15:55that? That the psalmist is beginning to
15:57realize I don't really need answers to
15:59all these questions. What I really need
16:01is intimacy, is closeness, is proximity
16:06to Yahweh. Verse 28 says this, "But as
16:10for me, it is good to be near God." The
16:14real conclusion of Psalm 73 is not
16:18answers to the questions, is it
16:20beneficial for me to maintain
16:23righteousness? No. What what what's
16:26actually the thing that we need more
16:29than answers is the presence of God.
16:31Because once we experience God's
16:32presence, we begin to realize, man, his
16:35presence is better than everything. And
16:37so the the lifestyle that I've chosen to
16:41live is actually giving me the best gift
16:44that I could ever get, which isn't
16:46answers or clarity, but it's his
16:48presence. And I just want to leave you
16:50with that. Presence over answers. His
16:54presence is greater than answers. And
16:56and sometimes we desire answers more
16:59than we desire his presence. And you
17:01know that you've gotten a spiritual
17:03maturity when like the psalmist here,
17:05like Asaf, you begin to appreciate his
17:08presence more than you are demanding
17:11answers from him. Not that we never stop
17:14desiring clarity. But at some point, you
17:16have to realize the chief thing that I
17:18need is God's presence. And if I have
17:20his presence, I can do without answers.
17:24But if I have answers, I can't do
17:25without his presence. I'd rather have
17:27presence than answers any day of the
17:29week. All right, let me give you some
17:31nerdy nuggets really, really quick for
17:33Psalm 74 and 75. Okay, Psalm 74 is a
17:37corporate lament of the fall of
17:39Jerusalem. How do we know that? Well, it
17:41says it right here in verse 7. They
17:43burned your sanctuary to the ground.
17:45They defiled the dwelling place of your
17:48name. So, obviously, we're compiling
17:51these psalms post destruction of
17:54Jerusalem. And the these psalms are
17:57intended to help the returnees from
18:00exile have inspiration to rebuild
18:05Jerusalem. Okay. So, uh verse 7 gives us
18:08context and helps us to understand why
18:11the context of the descendants of Asaf
18:15beginning to compile these psalms is
18:17even important. Okay. Second nerdy
18:20nugget from Psalm 74 is that Psalm 74 is
18:23a kayazm. So verses 1- 11 of Psalm 74
18:27are all about corporate suffering.
18:29Verses 18 or 23 are all about corporate
18:32suffering. So the end and the beginning
18:35all about corporate suffering. Again,
18:36Psalm 1 to 111, it's not Psalm 1. Why do
18:40I keep doing that today? Verses 1-1 of
18:43Psalm 74 are all about corporate
18:45suffering. Verses 18 to 23 all about
18:48corporate corporate suffering. So we
18:50begin and end with corporate suffering.
18:52And you know how kayazms work. The good
18:54stuff's in the middle. In the middle, we
18:56are going to have verses 12 to 17. And
18:59it's all about individual hope. But the
19:02author is going to talk about hope in a
19:06way that many of us on this podcast
19:09should be familiar with because it's
19:11going to uh the author is going to talk
19:13about the order that God established
19:16when he was creating the cosmos.
19:18Remember, if you think about Genesis
19:20chapter 1 like a westerner, you're going
19:23to think about Genesis chapter 1 as God
19:25making something out of nothing. But if
19:27you think about Genesis 1 like a good
19:30eastern Hebraic ancient person, then
19:33Genesis chapter 1 is all about God
19:35bringing order to the chaos of the
19:38cosmos. So creating and ordering come
19:42synonymous ideas, not simultaneous,
19:44synonymous. So let me read verses 12 to1
19:4817 for you. But God is my king from long
19:51ago. He brings salvation on the earth.
19:55Okay. How does God bring salvation? It
19:57was you who split open the sea by your
20:00power. You broke the heads of the
20:02monster in the waters. What monster?
20:05That's right. The dragon. And that
20:07dragon is going to get named in verse
20:0814. It was you who crushed the heads of
20:11Leviathan. By the way, if you want to
20:13know why my last book is called Crushing
20:15Chaos, it's because of this verse that
20:18Yahweh crushes the head of Leviathan.
20:20Leviathan is a symbol of chaos and gave
20:23it to the and gave it as food to the
20:26creature of the desert. It was you who
20:27opened up the springs and streams and
20:30dried up the everflowing rivers. The day
20:33is yours and yours also the night. You
20:36established the sun and the moon. It was
20:38you who set all the boundaries of the
20:40earth. So what God does in the
20:43beginning, he does not eradicate all
20:45chaos. He gives chaos boundaries. Okay?
20:49Boundaries of the earth and made summer
20:51and winter. So what we have in verses 12
20:55to 17 is a little creation poem. And
20:59what we begin to realize is that the
21:01words salvation,
21:03creation, and ordering are all used
21:07synonymously. How does God create? by
21:10bringing order. And how does he bring
21:12salvation? By bringing order. And what
21:14is he ordering? The chaos. What is he
21:17creating? He's creating order. And and
21:20what is he saving us from? Chaos. Why
21:23are they saving us from chaos? Cuz chaos
21:25kills. Okay, you begin to realize, oh,
21:28this is a very very very eastern way to
21:31think about the cosmos in the world.
21:34This is an Eastern world view. All
21:36right, last nerdy nugget and uh it's
21:39going to come from Psalm 75. Okay, our
21:42last psalm for the day. Psalm 75 is a
21:46hymn of corporate praise. Okay, we've
21:49got a hymn of corporate praise. Now,
21:52also, let me back up for a second. Why
21:55is there a section while we are
21:57lamenting the fall of Jerusalem? Why
22:00does Asaf include a creation poem where
22:04God is creating order where there's
22:06chaos? Well, cuz nothing's more chaotic
22:09than the temple being burned to the
22:11ground, than your city being burned to
22:14the ground, than you being driven off
22:16into exile into Babylon. Okay? The
22:18people have experienced insane chaos.
22:21And so Asaf is reminding the people the
22:24same way that God brought order,
22:27salvation, and that God brought his
22:31power to the earth by ordering the
22:34chaos. That same God is the God that we
22:36put our hope in. And yes, Jerusalem
22:39being burned to the ground and the
22:41temple being broken and and torn down is
22:45a chaotic experience. But the same God
22:48who presided over the ordering of the
22:50cosmos in Genesis chapter 1 is the same
22:53God who can bring order to our lives
22:55again. Okay? Our lives are not so
22:58chaotic that God can't fix them. Because
23:01the pinnacle of chaos was actually not
23:03the destruction of Jerusalem. The
23:05pinnacle of chaos was the was Leviathan
23:09needing to be conquered. Was the seas
23:12and the deep needing to be ordered in
23:15Genesis chapter 1. All right. Psalm 75,
23:18we've got a hymn of praise. All right.
23:21Now, Psalm 74 is a lament that the
23:25Babylonians have come and ransacked
23:27Jerusalem. So, what's going to happen in
23:29chap in chapter 75 or Psalm 75? We are
23:33going to get an entire hymn of how God
23:35is going to overthrow the nations. All
23:38right? And so, this is a hymn that's
23:40really centered around God's wrath.
23:44Okay? this hymn of corporate praise.
23:46It's going to say this in verse 7. But
23:47it is God who executes judgment, putting
23:50down one and lifting up another. Okay,
23:53so it's it's going to say this. In the
23:55hand of the Lord there's a cup. Okay,
23:58this is Psalm 75:8.
24:00In the hand of the Lord is a cup full of
24:03foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours
24:05it out and all the wicked of the earth
24:07drink it down to its very dregs. Okay.
24:11So, God is forcing the nations to drink
24:14his cup of wrath. Now, the context for
24:18what we find in Psalm 75 is actually
24:21found in Isaiah chapter 63 where where
24:24the nations are grapes and God steps on
24:28the nations to thresh those grapes to
24:30get wine. And then Jeremiah is going to
24:32pick up on this and that once God has
24:35trampled the nations to get wine, that
24:37wine is going to get emptied into God's
24:39cup of wrath. and then he's going to
24:41pour that wrath out. And so this idea is
24:44pretty graphic. Okay, it's saying that
24:47if you connect these two images, God
24:49treads nations in a wine press and then
24:52makes other nations drink the resulting
24:54wine. This is meant to show both God's
24:57wrath against those who have harmed his
24:59people, Israel, but also his vast
25:02sovereignty over the nations. This is
25:04going to lead us to our timeless truth
25:05today because obviously wrath is not an
25:08element of God's character that we can
25:11ignore in the Old Testament. So the cup
25:15of wrath is an image that now gets
25:17brought into the New Testament. This
25:19isn't just important for Psalm 75 or
25:21Isaiah 62 or Jeremiah 25:15.
25:25This is important for Jesus cuz what
25:27does Jesus acknowledge? Let in the
25:29garden of Gethsemane where grapes are
25:32harvested and threshed, okay, an olive
25:35press, sorry, not grapes, but olives are
25:38crushed. He realizes that he's about to
25:40get crushed, but he is in an olive
25:43press, but uses a grape metaphor, a wine
25:46metaphor for the Lord. And he says, "Let
25:48this cup pass for me." And so although
25:52the nations are threshed in into wine in
25:56Isaiah and then they are forced to drink
25:58it in Jeremiah and we see the
26:00culmination of that in the Psalms. Jesus
26:03drinks the cup of wrath and he says to
26:05the Lord this is not my will but I want
26:09your will to be done. Can I tell you the
26:11good news of the gospel is that the
26:13wrath of God has been satisfied. And
26:16Jesus has been treated with the wrath
26:19that you and I deserve so that we could
26:22be treated like perfect sons and
26:25daughters of God. We get to be treated
26:28like Jesus because Jesus was treated
26:30like us. That is a timeless truth. You
26:34may be thinking to yourself, man, the
26:35Old Testament is so full of God's wrath.
26:38Like that's a massive theme. Where did
26:40all the wrath go? It got poured out on
26:43the son of God named Jesus. The cross is
26:46a picture not just of the grace and
26:49forgiveness and mercy of God, but also
26:52the justice of God because the wrath
26:54that you and I deserved got poured out
26:56on the person of Jesus. And yes, the
26:59cross was brutal. The word excruciating
27:03actually comes from the word
27:04crucifixion. So when we say I'm in
27:07excruciating pain, that word was
27:10designed to communicate this is the
27:12level of pain that is experienced on the
27:15cross during a crucifixion. Jesus's
27:17beard was pulled out of his face. He was
27:20brutally beaten. And the image that
27:23we're supposed to see is that on the
27:25cross, we get forgiveness. We get grace.
27:28We get mercy. Why? because the wrath the
27:32the cup of God's wine wrath got poured
27:36out on Jesus like a drink offering. And
27:40that is a timeless truth. You don't have
27:43to be worried or superstitious that
27:44God's out to get you or that you have to
27:47pay the penalty of your sin. If you
27:49surrender your life to the lordship of
27:50Jesus, he will drink the cup of God's
27:53wrath for you so that you don't have to.
27:56And that's not just true for David or
27:57Isaiah or Jeremiah. That is true
27:59forever. That's a timeless truth. All
28:02right. Tomorrow we're going to be in
28:04Psalm 76-78.
