Hey everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. Hello. It is Monday. It's another Monday, although summer's right around the corner. We've got it feels like summer already. It does. It's supposed to be a hundred this week here. What? Yeah, I missed that. I saw the news was saying it's gonna hit triple digits. Un, potentially. Unbelievable. I know. I know it's okay Wednesday. Yeah, I see the highest mine says is high of 98. Okay so it's, that's there, but that almost guarantees that we're gonna hit it. That's incredible. So make sure that your air conditioners are up to snuff. Make sure you've got 'em checked out because you're gonna need 'em. If you haven't turned 'em on yet, you're gonna need 'em. Dude, I've never cared so much about air conditioning and heating in my whole life. Yep. Here, you need to care both. So we've called out people anytime we enter a new season Hey, just come check our hvac, make sure everything's top notch. 'cause I, you just can't you can't assume. That it'll always work. It's gonna break down at some point, so you gotta make sure that it's top notch. Have you been pleased with your HVAC tech? We've done different people. Oh, okay. Only because the first year we did it, we were doing it through whatever the builder used. Yeah. They were still under contract for the warranty. So I called them out. They were great. But now we I forget who we called out the last time. It was one of the big names around the area. Gotcha. You guys doing that stuff or do you check it yourself? You probably do it yourself, don't you? I don't do that myself. No. No. So I'll, I probably need to get somebody out. We had, I mean we, when we bought our house two years ago, we had all the inspections done. Everything was okay at that point. But yeah, we need to get somebody else out to, to give it another look through. I just, I dread my air conditioning going out in the middle of the day. Oh, for sure. Because then what do you do? You go to a hotel. I really, that's what I'm thinking you did. We'd have to spend the night in a hotel 'cause you just can't. You couldn't. Yeah. Could you really, your house had get like 80, 90 degrees. It would be gnarly. I think we've got enough people in our church that would say, Hey, why don't you come stay at our house? We're a family of seven, bro. Yeah. No. So we are. I don't know that's gonna, I don't know. It was super generous to the mayors to offer that. Yeah, both of our families actually, they said they would move out so that we could move in all 14. That's what Danny said. Yeah. He said, shouldn't you talk to Ed for? Nope. Nope. I can make the decision without even talking to her. Not a problem. In fact, he said that might be funny, even if our air conditioner doesn't break. Yeah. We can still just go hang out with, that's what he said. Yeah. His palatial estate. He said he'd be happy to make it a vacation meal for us. I. It wouldn't be bad. Second home, right over there. Just about five minutes north of where we're at already. Anyways. Alright, let's let's get into the Psalms today and check your HVACs and check your HVACs. Do both of those things. Let's get back into the Psalms. We are not into David's downfall yet but that is coming. But the Psalm 65 through 67, 69 through 70 Psalm 65 is a Davidic psalm, and so we see that there in the ti title there, and it gives us reasons to be joyful and praise the Lord as he deserves. I, it hit me this time in verse one. Praise is, do you, oh Lord, as we think about something that is due you think about back when Blockbuster was a thing you'd go and rent a movie and pull it off the shelf and you had to bring it back by a certain day, and the red ones you had to bring back. Remember just. Two days. You didn't have very long with those, but the other ones you could have for longer completely forgot about that designation. Yeah. Wow. Flashback. There you go. There's some nostalgia. Tuck away for no kid. You just took me back like 20 years. You're welcome. Unreal man. And but the red ones were the better ones. You wanted the red ones 'cause they were new release, they were demand, right? Yeah. And sometimes you wouldn't find your movie there. You'd go to the front, be like, did anybody return this one yet? And and they'd go check the man. Yeah, let me go look. That was the best day when somebody had just returned one. You're like I just got one back. Yeah. But when something's due you have to bring it back. You're obligated to do that. And here I. David is saying, your due praising God, you have to bring your praise to God. It's not an optional thing. He's worthy of it. And in this psalm, he's gonna give us reasons why. It points to his powerful works in verses six through eight, his abundant provision in verses nine through 13. And man that's the one that got me is just thinking about how much God does for us, how much he. Gives us how many reasons if we just stop and look around, we have occasion and cause to worship God. And so when David says praises, do you, if that's a burden to you, if you're thinking, oh man, how am I gonna do that? Then you're not looking around very hard. And if you start looking around at your family, if you're married, your spouse your salvation. How about, let's start there. Got his grace, his mercy, like we even talked about on, on Sunday at church, our church family. Like that's a gift from God. That's, that causes us to say, God, do you provide there's an overflow with abundance. Verse 11, you, your bounty. Just the language here is you've given above and beyond what we could ask or imagine as Paul says in Ephesians, so I love the psalm because it calls us and says, Hey, you've got a due date to praise God and it's every day of your life. And there should be plenty of reasons for you to do that. Yeah, I highlighted multiple times now 'cause I have multiple Bibles. But verse 11, man, your wagon tracks overflow with abundance. That's such a cool image. It just always hits me. 'cause I never think about God having wagon tracks. Yeah. I don't think of God having any kinda wagon. He doesn't have a wagon. But the idea of course, is that there's a wagon and stuff's falling out of it as it hits bumps and everything. 'cause it's just so packed with material in it. I've seen some videos on YouTube where you'll see in other countries they have trucks and those trucks are stacked way high with something. Yeah. Oranges or grain or whatever they have, but they're stacked. They don't have 'em like here where they're covered. In fact, maybe it is a lot like here in North Texas when those trucks are driving by with their gravel or whatever else and it spills over into the road and they don't stop and. Clean it up and they just keep driving like it doesn't matter for the rest of us who are driving on the same road. It's like that, except it's not really specific. Dude, I'm so bothered by that. Let me just say I can't, nobody can tell. No one could tell that. I know I was concealing it so well, but when God does it, it's not annoying. It's not. It's not like he's not thinking of us. He is. He is overflowing with good things and all we need to do is take advantage of that, draw near and enjoy the riches of his grace. Do you think God's wagon has a sign on the back that says, keep back a hundred feet, not responsible for windshield damage, 200 feet? They're very, they're to make that very clear I don't think he does. I can you. Can you imagine if somebody was actually doing that? Like just cruising down the toll road, 200 feet, 200 feet behind, dude. Yeah. No one does that. And I wonder, is that even legal? Can they say, can they just, can I put a sticker on my car? Warning? I might break hard, so if you hit me, it's your fault. Does that work? Yes. Yeah. Try it. See what happens. I'm gonna see what happens. Yeah. No, that, that's great. Psalm 66. More calls to praise and more reasons to worship God specifically because of what he has done. And again, just note, our worship of God is not optional. The opening shout for joy to God all the earth. And that there it is. There's no excuse there. It's not can I have a day off from this? No it's. This is our job. Verse five. Come and see what God has done. How can I shout for joy? Verse five, come and see what he's done. He's awesome in deeds towards the children of man. And also note this, if we're harboring sin, our worship of God and our prayers to him are not going to be acceptable. And that's terrifying. That if we're just going through the motions that our worship is not going to be not gonna be. Received by him. Verse 18. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened to my praise. But truly, God has listened and he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God. Now, man, that's hard because all of us sin, all of us at one time or another have cherished iniquity in our heart, and so does that mean that God has permanently said I'm not gonna listen to you. And I would say, no. Go back and listen to last Sunday's message again on the restoration of Peter. We've got a God who is merciful and gracious to us and delights to restore us. If we will come to him in repentance. And so if you're reading this going, man, that's me. I feel like I I've been harboring sin. I feel like I've got unconfessed sin in my life right now. And maybe that's why I felt distant. I felt dry. I haven't felt this close connection with worshiping God. I would say to you, Hey, come to the Lord. Bring your sin to him. Confess your sin. He delights to, to show you mercy and steadfast love and abundant grace. Seek him while he may be found as He's, it's it instructed in the Old Testament. He delights to pardon. And so if that's you and you're going, man I don't know why my worship has been sterile. Maybe one of the reasons is you've got sin that you need to bring before the Lord and say, Lord, I gotta get this out into the light and put it to death and repent from this so that again, I can come before you and you will receive my worship. Yeah. Speaking of Peter, I think that's what Peter writes about. And first Peter chapter four where he says, if you treat your woman in such a way, your wife, that is if you don't honor her as the weaker vessel as an he of grace, your prayers may be hindered. And I think, Peter could be mean a couple things by that, but I think it connects to here, verse 18. If we continue to harbor sin in our heart, and especially sin against our wives. I think that God deliberately says, no, you got business to work through first before you start asking me for the goodies and the Bennys. You gotta deal with the sin. I'm not gonna hear you. I'm gonna choose not to respond to your prayers until you deal with that sin. And I think that still works for us today as Christians under the New Testament, as much as it did for David under the old. So I agree. No one is without sin. One John one, nine, we're to confess our sin. But that's the key. Confessing the sin. Christians are not hypocritical when we sin. We're hypocritical when we don't confess. That's good. That, that should go on a shirt. I was thinking about, on a t-shirt. Alright. Hey Psalm 67. This is another evangelistic psalm. We've seen some of these before. We don't know the author to this. It's not given to us, but we can assume maybe it was David here ASAP could have been any of them, but. Today an evangelistic psalm. The psalmist is praying here that God would show favor to him in order that the nations might see God's hand upon his life and be glad in the goodness of the Lord. And so notice that he's asking for good things for himself or for the people, rather corporately in order that the nations would be able to look and see how good God is, how abundant his provision is. Things that we've just talked about in the last couple of Psalms here. And that they would be glad in the Lord and sing for joy. We can bring that down to our level. And even we talked a little bit about it on Sunday, the fact that God does restore us in part for His glory so that we can testify to that and say, God, look at any good in me is only in me because of God. And so if you're gonna say, Hey. Here's a compliment for you. Praise God instead on my behalf. Say again. Thank you for this person. Thank you for what they've done. This is about the good things that God is gonna do through Israel, reflecting on him, not on Israel itself, or not on the King of Israel, but saying, Hey, God is the one that's worthy of the glory. Yeah. Verse two unlocks the rest of the Psalm, but don't neglect to see the rest of the Psalm. God cares about the nations. He cares about the peoples. He cares about the ends of the earth. God is not just concerned with his primary people. Target. Although he does care about Israel for the all the reasons that we've talked about, and he does care deeply about the church, obviously, but the reason that we're still here is because he's not done collecting his people. There are still people that are yet to be saved. That must be, that's why God hasn't initiated the beginning of the end. They're still people that need to know his name, the peoples of the Earth. That's why we're here. That's what God wants to do. So please take your part in that. Yep. Reaching, teaching and training. That's what we're about. Yep. Psalm 69. Then this is a a dark psalm, if I can put it that way where David is clearly in a tough spot and keenly aware of his need for God to come to his aid. Verse 18, he says, these words drawn near, redeem me, ransom me. That gives us a picture into the circumstances that David was facing and still. Even in the midst of that, he's willing to wait on God's timing and we see that just a few verses before that, actually in verse 13, he says, add an acceptable time. Oh God, in the abundance of your steadfast love, answer mean you're saving faithfulness. This is a hard psalm for us to embrace and adopt because it of that. Verse 13 right there to be able to say, God, here's my circumstances. Okay? That's easy for us to do. It's easy for us to lay our case before the Lord and say, Lord I'm in trouble. I'm in a tough spot. I need you. It's also easy for us to pray. Lord John near to me. Redeem me. Ransom me. The hard thing is to say, okay, God, in your timing, do all of this because you, your timing or God's timing is always gonna be what is worked out. But we want God to operate according to our timing. And that's what's so hard for us is to be patient in the valley, to be patient with Job to sit in the angst and the terminal and the pain, not knowing when the deliverance is gonna come or if it's gonna come this side of eternity from. For some things, but still being able to say with David. Okay, got it. I'm gonna, or the psalm Yeah. David to say. Okay, got it. I'm gonna wait on you. Your timing is what's in view here? Yeah. This Psalm is used quite a bit in the New Testament. And of course we think that it primarily refers to Christ. He's the fulfillments of all these things. He waited patiently for the father's deliverance. He did ask for the Lord to deliver him. From his enemies, and yet he said, nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will. Verse nine, zeal for your house has consuming the apostles the disciples at that point, but the apostles saw that this was about Jesus. It's quoted in John chapter two. Actually, John chapter two says, A long time ago for our church, but we saw that there's a few places here where you'll see that. There's cross references of things that Jesus experienced. So verse 21, they gave me poison for food and for my thirst, they gave me sour wine to drink. Remember that at the cross? Both in Matthew 27, mark 15. So there, there's lots of parallels here to what Jesus life and ministry experienced. So even though this is by David, this really is about the true and better, David. Psalm 70. Then this psalm tells us that there's a time to ask God to act quickly. So we just talked about waiting, and yet Psalm 70 we see that there are reasons for and times when we should in be able to say, Hey, listen, Lord, I need you and I need you. Now, make haste verse one. Make haste, oh God, make haste. Verse one, verse four, may all who seek you, rejoice, and be glad in you. Verse five, hastened to me. Verse five, do not delay. As much as we can say there, there's a time to say, God, I'm gonna wait on your timing. There's also a time here in, in Psalm 70 that it's appropriate for us to pray. God I need you now. There's an urgency here and I'm asking you to act with haste on my behalf. Yeah, I've been praying to the Lord. Please make haste to provide us a building. I'm not ashamed about that. I think there's times to pray for that, and I'm okay with that one. If you wanna pray with us to say, Lord, please make hay to provide us a building, we'd be okay with that. We're patient ultimately, and we're entrusting ourselves to him. But that's the kind of thing we're saying, please go quickly, Lord and please deliver in the way that we're asking for. But nevertheless, we trust him and we recognize our poor and neediness. Ultimately is he's aware of it and he's gonna deliver when he decides. Yeah. Yeah we're excited about this transition up here to prosper, but it's still not a permanent facility for us yeah, that is a good prayer. For sure. For sure. Hey, lemme pray, speaking of pray, and we'll be done with this episode. God. Perhaps the greatest may haste prayer that we should have as the church is the prayer of the end of Revelation, the end of scripture that says, Maranatha, come quickly, Lord Jesus. We want that. We desire that. And even as we talked about, that's not gonna happen until the last soul that you desire to be saved is going to be saved. And so we wanna be an evangelistic people, even as Peter says, and second Peter, that we can hasten the coming day of Christ as we go out and. Tell people about the Lord. Tell people that he's not slow, but that he wishes that everyone should come to repentance. And so God make us an evangelistic church. A church that, that wants to see people who are lost come to faith in Jesus. And so give us that zeal, that passion, Lord. And in that I. And so doing, we can hasten your return. What an awesome thought that is, that somebody at Compass Bible Church may share the gospel with the last person ever to be saved and hasten your coming on that day. What an amazing time that would be. And God we pray for that. We ask for that. Make us that as a church. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Keep reading your Bibles.
