0:24family. Welcome to day 283 here on the
0:28Bible department podcast. I'm your host,
0:29Dr. Manny Orango, and I'm super excited
0:32to dive into what's honestly about to be
0:35a collection of Psalms. Okay, from Psalm
0:3793 all the way to Psalm 100 is a solid
0:42block of Psalms. And we'll probably be
0:44in this block of Psalms for the next
0:46couple of days. I think probably the
0:47next three, if not four days. I can't
0:50remember how the Bible reading plan
0:51actually breaks down, but buckle up
0:54because we are going to be in this
0:56collection of Psalms for the next couple
0:58of days. Now, if you have not done the
1:00reading for today, which is Psalms 93,
1:0294, and 95, then I want you to go ahead
1:05and stop this video, pause the audio,
1:09and go do the reading. Read Psalm 93,
1:11Psalm 94, and Psalm 95, and then come on
1:15back when the reading is done. For those
1:18of us who have done the reading, let me
1:21give you some good news and some bad
1:23news. All right, I give you the bad news
1:25first. The bad news is that there's no
1:28context for any of these psalms. Not
1:30just today's psalms. You're probably
1:32will notice this, right? If you look at
1:34Psalm 93, there's no heading. If you
1:37look at Psalm 94, there is no heading.
1:39And if you look at Psalm 95, there is no
1:42heading. Well, if you cheat a little bit
1:44and skip ahead, Psalm 96, no heading.
1:46Psalm 97, no heading. Psalm 98, the only
1:50heading that's there is a Psalm. Thanks.
1:53Very, very helpful. Psalm 99, no
1:55heading. Psalm 100, a psalm for
1:59forgiving grateful praise. And that's
2:01going to end this whole block. And then
2:04we're going to start at Psalm 101, uh,
2:06which is of David, a psalm. Okay, so
2:09from Psalm 93 to Psalm 100, this is a
2:12solid unit. Okay, this is a collection
2:16within book four. All right, so here's
2:19the first thing that I want to say. It's
2:21the bad news. There is there's no
2:23context there. There are no headings
2:25here. No context. That's the bad news.
2:28The good news is that because this
2:31entire block has no context and the
2:35contents of the psalms are very similar.
2:39Actually, we can begin to deduce that
2:42the context of all these psalms is the
2:45same. All right. So we don't have
2:48context, no headings for the individual
2:50psalms themselves. But because the
2:52contents of the psalms are very very
2:54similar, most scholars, I mean all
2:56scholars would agree that these psalms
2:5993, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 that
3:04these eight psalms make up a literary
3:07unit and are to be understood together.
3:10uh they actually have the same context
3:13which is the celebration or the
3:16enthronement of the reign of Yahweh. All
3:20right, the celebration or the
3:22enthronement or even the ascension of
3:25Yahweh to his throne. Okay, the theme
3:28here is the reign of Yahweh. Now, we
3:31don't know exactly which cultural moment
3:34that is being celebrated in. We have we
3:36don't we really don't know. We have no
3:38idea. Okay, so we don't have a ton of
3:41context, but we have a shared theme.
3:43Okay, now now that you know we know that
3:47there is no context for all of these
3:48psalms, okay, Psalm 93, 94, 95 are the
3:51psalms that we have today, we're going
3:52to dive into some nerdy nuggets as it
3:55relates to these psalms. Okay, first
3:59Psalm 93 is going to start, let me go
4:02ahead flip back. Psalm 93 is going to
4:04start out with these words. The Lord
4:07reigns. The Lord Wayne reigns. Yahweh
4:11reigns. By the way, just extra nerdy
4:13nugget. Anytime you see L O R D all
4:15caps, that is your English translation
4:18telling you that the Hebrew word Yahweh
4:21is there. Okay. Uh Y HWH. Okay.
4:26Typically in a Hebrew Bible, just four
4:28dots. The Jewish people would not dare
4:31write the name Yahweh. Okay. It was too
4:34holy according to their understanding
4:36and their theology. All right. Sometimes
4:38I'll end up teaching, you know, what was
4:41standard or what was normal in in in the
4:43Jewish world. And people will walk up to
4:45me like, "Hey, why don't we still do
4:47that?" And I'm like, "Cuz we're not
4:48Jewish." I'm like, "Cuz we're
4:51Christians." Anyway, uh that's a whole
4:55other episode for a whole another day.
4:58Now, Psalm 93 starts with these words,
5:00"The Lord reigns." Now, you're going to
5:02begin to realize as you read the next
5:04couple of days that that repeated phrase
5:06is going to be found all the way through
5:08this section from Psalm 93 all the way
5:10to Psalm 100. Actually, I want you to go
5:12to 90 Psalm 96:10. Okay? Psalm 96:10
5:17says this, "Say among the nation, the
5:20Lord reigns." Okay? I want you to go to
5:22Psalm 97:1, "The Lord reigns. Let the
5:26earth be glad. Let the distant shores
5:28rejoice." Okay? I want you to go to
5:29Psalm 99 verse1. Psalm 99 verse1. What
5:34do you think it's going to say? I think
5:36it's going to say something about God
5:37reigning. That's right. Psalm 99 verse1.
5:40The Lord reigns. Okay. So, this whole
5:42section from Psalm 93 all the way to
5:45Psalm 100. We don't have context, but we
5:48do have a consistent message, a
5:51consistent theme. That is this. The Lord
5:56reigns. Yahweh reigns. These eight
6:00psalms are all about the rule and reign
6:04of Yahweh. That is what we are talking
6:06about in this little mini collection of
6:10psalms inside of book four which is a
6:14collection of psalms within the wider
6:17book of the psalms which is a collection
6:20of psalms. This is like psalm seption.
6:23It's like a dream within a dream within
6:25a dream. Yeah. Psalms, collections of
6:27psalms within collections of psalms
6:28within collections of psalms. Psalm
6:30seion. All right. Psalm 93 to 100 focus
6:33on one singular theme. The reign and
6:35rule of Yahweh, the king of the earth.
6:37These psalms are all about that one
6:40singular theme. And this is David's
6:44legacy. All right? This is David's
6:47legacy. I I need you to realize that
6:50although Yahweh has always been king,
6:54Israel has consistently failed in her
6:59history as the bride of Yahweh and as
7:02the nation of Israel. They have
7:05consistently failed. The Hebrew
7:07scriptures are actually the testimony of
7:10the failure of Israel to acknowledge
7:14Yahweh as the reigning and ruling king
7:17of the universe. That is the story of
7:19scripture is Israel's failure to worship
7:23Yahweh and him alone to live according
7:26to that truth. Okay. And this is the
7:30legacy of David. Okay. The reality is
7:34that Yahweh was already king of Israel.
7:36Deuteronomy established that. Okay.
7:38Deuteronomy establishes that Yahweh is
7:40susarin. Israel is vassel. But in the
7:43time of the judges and in the reign of
7:46Saul and so many other moments that
7:50kingship was not acknowledged, was not
7:54recognized by Israel. So now in the
7:58Psalms, the Psalms as a whole, but
8:01definitely in this collection of of
8:03eight psalms, we see in here Israel
8:07recognizing the kingship of Yahweh over
8:10them, proclaiming that he reigns and so
8:15therefore submitting to his authority.
8:18As we will continue to see, this is the
8:20true significance. This is the true
8:23legacy of David's reign. David makes
8:26Israel recognize the reign of Yahweh.
8:30David makes Israel recognize the reign
8:35of Yahweh. Unlike any other king, unlike
8:38any other leader, unlike any other
8:40ruler, David is adamant that the people
8:45recognize Yahweh as their king and
8:48recognize the reign of Yahweh. This is
8:52why David is a man after God's own
8:54heart. Not because he's moral, not
8:56because he's holier than anybody else,
8:59but because he is adamant that the
9:02people recognize the reign of Yahweh.
9:07Okay? And worship him as such. Yahweh
9:10has always been king, but Israel has
9:13rarely behaved based on that reality
9:16except here in the Psalms. Okay, Psalm
9:1994. Okay, that that's all we'll say
9:21about Psalm 93. Ah, I'll say this about
9:24Psalm 93. One last thing about Psalm 93,
9:26you can begin to see mythological
9:28language again. Starting in verse uh
9:31what verse is this? Starting in verse
9:32three, the seas have lifted up, Lord.
9:36The seas have lifted up their voice. The
9:39seas have lifted up their pounding
9:41waves. Mightier than the thunder of the
9:44great waters. Mightier than the breakers
9:47of the sea. The Lord on high is mighty.
9:52Okay, so we're going to get that sea,
9:54sea, sea, waves, water, thunder, all
9:59that language is mythological language
10:02that is communicating that the God that
10:06tamed the chaotic ocean that tamed the
10:10waters of Genesis 1 verse two and
10:14established order over the chaos. that
10:17is the God that we are talking about.
10:19Okay. So that mythological language that
10:24probably a lot of us may be
10:25uncomfortable with because we're used to
10:27thinking about God not in mythological
10:29terms but in factual terms because we
10:32define truth a little bit differently
10:34than our ancient counterparts define
10:36truth. Maybe thinking about God in
10:39mythological terms is just a little like
10:40weird for you because that feels like
10:43fantasy or a fairy tale or like not real
10:46or not true. But here it is. Uh and
10:48you're going to see it all throughout
10:50the Psalms. You're going to continue to
10:51see mythological language. All right.
10:52Psalm 94. If Yahweh is king, okay, if
10:56he's susarin, one of the twists that the
11:01Hebrew Bible is going to put on that
11:04idea of suzarin is that Yahweh is also
11:08husband. Okay, this is not true for any
11:10other other kings, you know what I mean,
11:12or gods, but this is uniquely true for
11:15Yahweh that he is susarin, he's king, he
11:19reigns, but he's also husband. So he is
11:24going to enact vengeance and he's going
11:27to be jealous when his people are
11:31unfaithful to him. It's not just that
11:33they are being unfaithful vassels,
11:36they're being unfaithful wives, they're
11:39being an unfaithful wife to him. So
11:41there's an added layer and level to the
11:44metaphor. Okay. So what do we get in
11:46Psalm 94? Psalm 94 starts and the Lord
11:51is a God who avenges.
11:54Okay, I actually want to see how the
11:55NRSV says it. Psalm 94 in the NIV says
12:00you're a God who avenges. Not as strong
12:04as we're going to read it in the NRSV.
12:07Psalm 94:1 NRSV. Oh Lord, you got a
12:11vengeance.
12:13Some some for some reason avenge does
12:16doesn't carry or pack the punch that
12:20vengeance carries. Okay, you got a
12:23vengeance shine forth. Rise up, oh judge
12:26of the earth, give to the proud what
12:28they deserve, oh Lord, how long shall
12:30the wicked How long shall the wicked
12:33exalt? Okay, so vengeance. God is a god
12:36of vengeance. Why is he a god of
12:37vengeance? He's a god of vengeance
12:40because he's not only a king, he's also
12:42a husband. Now, in order to kind of
12:44understand this, you know, I got into an
12:46Uber yesterday and for whatever reason,
12:48my Uber driver, her name is Tama, she
12:50was kind of saying like, you know,
12:51sometimes women's cheat, women cheat,
12:53men cheat, women cheat, everybody cheat.
12:55You know what I'm saying? Sometimes
12:56people cheat cuz they got to get their
12:57needs met. She was kind of talking about
12:59cheating. And I said, well, I've never
13:01cheated on anybody. You know what I
13:02mean? I I don't cheat, you know? And cuz
13:05cheating is kind of cowardly. And I was
13:07like, "Yeah, I I just I'm, you know, I'd
13:10rather break up with somebody than cheat
13:12on them." Like, that's just that's
13:14moving like a coward. You know, don't be
13:16scared. Just tell a person, "Hey, like
13:18this relationship's not working out."
13:20And then break up with them. Stop being
13:22with them. You know what I mean? And
13:24then she was like, "Well, what have you
13:25married?" I'm like, "Then go get
13:27marriage counseling. Figure out, you
13:28know, what the issue is." And she was
13:30like, "Your wife may be cheating on
13:31you." And I was like, "Ma'am, if my wife
13:34is cheating on me, somebody would die."
13:35I literally looked at this woman in her
13:36face. She was like, "No, somebody would
13:37die." And she was like, "What? That's
13:40crazy. That ain't Christian B. Ain't you
13:42a pastor?" Blah blah blah. And I was
13:44like, "Ma'am, do you have a Bible?" And
13:46I was like, "I'm going to read so I'm in
13:48the car. I'm in the Uber reading the
13:50Bible to this woman." Okay. I'm like,
13:51"Hey, this is s This is Proverbs chapter
13:556." Okay. Proverbs chapter 6, verse 30.
13:59Uh, actually, no, no, no. I wrote down I
14:01want to start reading in verse 23. Okay.
14:03Psalm. Why do I keep saying Psalm?
14:05Proverbs. Sorry. It's cuz we're in the
14:08book of Psalms right now. Okay, this is
14:10Proverbs 6:23. For the commandment for
14:14For the commandment is a lamp and the
14:16teaching a light and the reproof of
14:19discipline are the way of life to
14:21preserve you from the wife of another.
14:24Okay. So the so the the the father
14:26figure in the proverb is saying, "Hey,
14:29you can never have sex with the wife of
14:32somebody else, the wife of another man.
14:34Never, never, never, never." Okay? To
14:37preserve you from the wife of another,
14:39from the smooth tongue of the
14:41adulteress. Okay? Verse 25. Do not
14:45desire her beauty in your heart. Do not
14:47lust after another man's wife. Okay. And
14:49do not let her capture you with her
14:52eyelashes. Lashes ain't new. Lashes
14:55ain't new. You know what I'm saying? No
14:56letter capture with the lashes. Okay,
14:59here we go. Verse 26. I know this is
15:02controversial. You're not going to like
15:03this, but this is a proverb. Says this,
15:06"For a prostitute's fee is only a loaf
15:09of bread." Hey, hey, if if if you got a
15:12lust issue, go sleep with a prostitute.
15:14A prostitute's only going to cost you a
15:15loaf of bread. They're cheap. They're
15:17not even It's not even expensive.
15:19There's prostitutes out here. Go, go,
15:22go, go with a prostitute. Don't mess
15:24around with another man's wife. Don't
15:25mess around with a married woman. Why?
15:28But the wife of another stalks a man's
15:31very life. Hey, the sin of sex, you
15:34still got to deal with the consequences
15:36of the sin of having sex outside the
15:39confines of marriage. But the
15:41consequences of sleep with a prostitute
15:44is is is guilt, some shame, I don't
15:46know, maybe chlamyia. But you have sex
15:49with another man's wife, you'll you're
15:50going to die. You're going to die. That
15:54man's going to kill you. Okay, here we
15:58go. And and typically moms don't like
16:00their their husbands talking to their
16:01sons this way. This is why I love
16:03Proverbs. It's from a man to a man.
16:06Okay, Proverbs is like, look, look, hey,
16:08hey, let us reason together. Okay, let
16:11your dad tell you like it is. All right,
16:12prostitute only going to cost you a loaf
16:14of bread. But another man's wife
16:17Woo! Going to get your butt beat. You
16:19You going You going You going to get
16:20jacked up. Okay, here we go. Next. Can
16:24fire be carried in the bosom without
16:26burning one's clothes? Or one walk on
16:28hot clothes without scorching the feet?
16:31So is he who sleeps with his neighbor's
16:34wife? Wife. If you sleep with a married
16:38man's wife, no one who touches her will
16:41go unpunished. You don't have the same
16:43consequence for sleeping with a
16:44prostitute as you have with taking that
16:47which belongs to another man. Here we
16:50go. Thieves are not despised who steal
16:53only to satisfy their appetite when
16:54they're hungry. Yet if they are caught,
16:57they will pay sevenfold that they will
17:00forfeit all the goods of their house.
17:02But he who commits adultery, he who has
17:05sex with another man's wife has no
17:09sense. He who does it destroys himself.
17:13He will get wounds and dishonor in his
17:17disgrace will not be wiped away. For
17:21jealousy arouses a husband's fury. I
17:26said to Tama, I said, "Do you understand
17:28what the word fury means?" Tama said,
17:31"Fury?
17:32If my wife were to cheat on me, then
17:36whoever
17:38she messed around with would experience
17:42my fury. Fury. She's like, "What would
17:46you do to your wife?" I was like,
17:47"Divorce? I wouldn't lay a hand on my
17:49wife. I would never I would never touch
17:52my wife. I would never hit my wife.
17:54Never. You all know who these fists
17:56would be reserved for? the idiot who
17:59thought that he could take that which
18:01belongs to me. I said, "Sweetheart Tama,
18:05let me help you understand something. If
18:07somebody stole my car, I wouldn't be mad
18:08at the car. I'd go find the person who
18:10stole my car and they'd experience my
18:12fury." She's like, "Yeah, but it takes
18:14two to tango." She was not have she
18:16didn't have a biblical worldview. She
18:18didn't know. She didn't understand the
18:19Bible. I was like, "Sweetheart, for
18:21jealousy arouses a husband's
18:24fury." Yeah. I was like, "Don't call me
18:27man. Call me fury. I'm going to be call
18:30me fury." And if that's how I feel as as
18:34a husband, imagine how Yahweh feels. And
18:38so this Psalm 94 is actually here to say
18:42he's king, but he's also husband. And he
18:46will rise up in vengeance over the
18:49nations who the people of Israel have
18:53sacrificed to their idols. He will rise
18:57up in vengeance against the nations who
19:00have taken Israel into captivity. He
19:03will rise up. They will experience his
19:06fury. And I think a lot of times we are
19:09uncomfortable with God's fury or anger
19:14because really we don't understand God's
19:17love. There is no way to have love
19:20without anger. Not possible. The only
19:24people who can really get me riled up
19:27and angry are people who I love. This is
19:30why like if you cussing people out on
19:33the road that cut you off, something's
19:35wrong with you. If strangers can get you
19:38mad, something's wrong. You You actually
19:40have an anger problem. Strangers
19:42shouldn't be able to get you upset. Only
19:44the people who you love should be able
19:48to get you mad because you love them.
19:50Like, so let's think about this. If I
19:53went to my house and god forbid I found
19:57my wife's body dead and my son, you
20:00know, they've been gunned down and my
20:02response was, "Yeah, it's okay. you
20:04know, I'll get another son. I'll get
20:06another wife. You You would want to get
20:08me psychologically evaluated. You'd
20:10question whether or not I actually loved
20:12my wife or loved my son. Why? Because in
20:15the presence of great evil, there should
20:18be great vengeance. In the presence of
20:21great evil, there should be great fury.
20:25So, a lot of times we're uncomfortable
20:26with God's anger. We're uncomfortable
20:28with his fury because actually we don't
20:30understand the depth of his love. It is
20:32his love that causes him to be jealous.
20:36And why is it that God can be jealous
20:38and nobody else can? Is because God owns
20:42you. The same way that I couldn't be
20:45jealous when I was a boyfriend, but the
20:47moment I became a husband, now me and my
20:50wife belong to each other. I'm hers.
20:53She's mine. I can only be jealous if I'm
20:57jealous over someone who is actually
21:01mine. and I am actually theirs. If if if
21:06my wife if for whatever reason we got
21:08divorced and she got remarried and her
21:12new husband was trying to get my son to
21:15call him dad, I'd be like, "You better
21:17get up out of here. That's my son." And
21:20there's a certain jealousy that I'm
21:23going to have that is normal and natural
21:27cuz that boy's mine. He's mine.
21:31Family, the wait is over. My brand new
21:34book, Crushing Chaos, is out now and
21:38available everywhere books are sold
21:41literally today. I walked into a Barnes
21:44& Noble and I signed a bunch of copies
21:46at a physical location. So, you can grab
21:49this book at a physical Barnes & Noble
21:52or you can go to a Books a Million or
21:54Amazon or anywhere books are sold and
21:57grab a copy. If you enjoy reading the
22:00Bible from an ancient perspective, if
22:03you understand that the beauty of
22:05scripture is actually knowing it in
22:07context, then you'll love this book. And
22:10if there's any chaos in your personal
22:12life, I think that reading the Bible
22:15from an ancient perspective can actually
22:17help to crush the chaos in your life. I
22:19think this book is going to be a New
22:21York Times bestseller. I really do. I
22:23think we wrote a good one. I think you
22:25should get a copy today. All right, back
22:28to the episode. It's one time I I kind
22:32of adopted one of the kids at the youth
22:34group as a spiritual son. And uh his
22:36name is Jayon. And one time I took Jay
22:38on to the barber shop and he was like, I
22:40don't want a haircut. And I was like, I
22:42don't care what you want. You're done
22:44walking around here like you don't like
22:46nobody like you don't belong to nobody.
22:48I'm taking you to get your haircut cuz
22:50if I'm going to be a spiritual father in
22:52your life, you need to look like
22:53somebody takes care of you. You can't
22:56look homeless. If you want to look
22:57homeless, then you don't you're not
22:59going to have a spiritual father. Part
23:02of having a dad is a dad makes sure that
23:06you look like you belong to somebody
23:08when you're out in public. Okay? And so
23:11Psalm 94 fits under the greater
23:15umbrella, the fact that Yahweh is a king
23:19according to the template of
23:21Deuteronomy, which means that he's in a
23:23covenant relationship with Israel,
23:25whereby he's not only king and susarin,
23:28but also husband. All right, Psalm 95.
23:33We don't even have enough time for Psalm
23:3495. Psalm 95 is divided in half. Verses
23:381-7 again continues the theme of of the
23:41fact that the Lord reigns. Yahweh
23:43reigns. So verses 1-7 talk about the
23:46enthronement of Yahweh. Come and bow
23:49before him. He's enthroned. And then
23:52verses 8 through 11 are essentially
23:54giving a warning saying cuz remember
23:57your ancestors sucked at this. Okay?
24:00Failed. They failed to enter God's rest.
24:03God said, "Go up to the land of Canaan
24:05and take it, for I've given it to you."
24:08And they decided to not act like Yahweh
24:10was king. And how do you act like Yahweh
24:12is not king? By disobeying orders. They
24:16did not obey God's orders. They decided
24:19to go rogue. And so, they failed to
24:22enter God's rest. And so, verses 8
24:24through 11 are essentially saying, "Hey,
24:27every generation is at the crossroads.
24:29Don't act like your ancestors. Be
24:32faithful. Be like David. Recognize that
24:36Yahweh is king. What's our Thomas truth
24:39for the day? Thomas truth is pretty
24:42simple. It's me to ask you this
24:44question. What is the gospel? Because
24:46the theme of these psalms is that Yahweh
24:51is king. That Yahweh reigns. That Yahweh
24:55reigns. He sits enthroned as king over
24:58the earth and over Israel. Which really
25:01caused me to ask the question, well,
25:02what does that have to do with you and I
25:04today as New Testament believers? Well,
25:06I need to then ask you this question.
25:08What is the gospel? Cuz a lot of people
25:10really don't know what the gospel is.
25:12They think that the gospel is that Jesus
25:14Christ died for the remission of your
25:16sins. So, they preach Jesus as savior.
25:19But really, that's not the gospel. The
25:21gospel is this simple message. It can be
25:23found in three words. Jesus is king.
25:26He's king. He's lord. He reigns. So the
25:29fact that Yahweh reigns isn't as
25:31relevant for the audience of Psalm 93,
25:3594, 95. Actually, every Christian needs
25:38to live under the understanding that
25:40Yahweh not only was king, but that he is
25:44king and that Jesus has a throne next to
25:50the father and that he is enthroned as
25:52king. And the only reason he can be
25:55savior is because he is first king.
25:58Right? I I couldn't die for your sins.
26:00Why? Because I'm not the king of the
26:02universe.
26:03Only the son of God could be savior
26:07because only the son of God is king. And
26:10the nature of the gospel message is this
26:13Jesus is king. Sometimes when all we do
26:16is advertise Jesus as savior, what that
26:19does is it gets converts and we think
26:22that the gospel is just a form of
26:23evangelism for new converts. But really
26:26the gospel message is for Christians and
26:28non-Christians because the gospel
26:29message is Jesus is king. And in the
26:32same way that a non-Christian needs to
26:34surrender their life to the lordship of
26:35Jesus, there are always areas where
26:38Christians need to surrender their
26:40lives, our lives, to the lordship of
26:43King Jesus. Maybe there's unforgiveness
26:46in your life, which means that area of
26:48your emotions has not been surrendered
26:51to the lordship of Jesus. Maybe you
26:53don't tithe. Well, that means that area
26:55of your life has yet to be surrendered
26:57to the kingship, the lordship of King
26:59Jesus. Maybe there's areas where you
27:02don't trust him as king. And I just hate
27:06to be the bearer of bad news, but you
27:08don't get to access him as savior if you
27:11don't surrender to him as king. And so
27:14this idea that Yahweh reigns and that
27:17right now he's reigning through his son
27:20Jesus who is king. At the mention of
27:24that name, every knee will bow and every
27:25tongue will confess. and me and you get
27:28the option of bowing our knee and
27:31kissing the ring and confessing his
27:33name. But many won't get the option of
27:35doing that. They'll have to do it by
27:37force. And so my question to you today
27:39is this. Is he really king of every area
27:42of your life? Is he king over your
27:44words? Is he king over your time
27:46management? Is he king over your
27:48emotions? Is he king when you're at at
27:50your at your job? Or have you relegated
27:53to him to Sunday mornings? Is he king?
27:58Because the job of the believer is to
28:00continue to live as though he is king.
28:03He's king regardless. But just like in
28:06the time of the judges, in the time of
28:07Saul, Yahweh was king, but they weren't
28:10living like he was. And then David made
28:12sure that they that they saw Yahweh as
28:16king. Hopefully, I can be a David of
28:18sorts. That will remind you he is king,
28:22but whether or not you're living
28:23surrendered is a whole another question.
28:25And that's not just true in the context
28:28of Psalm 9394,95.
28:30That is a timeless truth and I hope it
28:32challenges you today. All right,
28:34tomorrow we got day 284.
28:38I hope Tama finds this podcast. I really
28:40do. I hope so. She inspired this episode
28:43today. And uh I hope you come back
28:45tomorrow for day 284. We're going to be
28:47looking at Psalms 96, 97, and 98. I
28:50can't continue. I can't wait to continue
28:52our trek through the rest of this little
28:55section of the Psalms. Psalms 93 to 100.
28:58I love you. I'm so proud of you.
