0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:19.9	Back to the 23rd Psalm. We only made it through half a sentence
0:22.5	in our first day. And we're only going to do the second half of the first sentence today.
0:28.1	The Lord is my shepherd. And when you know that, when you know that the one that cares for you and
0:34.0	knows you and calls you by name is the Lord of the universe. David then says,
0:39.1	and I shall not want. It literally means in Hebrew, and I shall not be in want. That when I have,
0:46.7	the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything that I could ever want and need in this world. So let me
0:53.0	ask you this. can you say that?
0:55.2	Or is there some stuff that you want? And I look at that and I go, uh-oh, because I want all kind of
1:00.3	stuff. I want the Georgia Bulldogs to win another national championship. I want to shoot a big old
1:05.4	elk this next year. I want every new piece of origin camo that I see.
1:11.3	There's all kinds of things that I want.
1:13.9	But ultimately what David is saying here is the only one that can fulfill our deepest wants and needs is the one that created us.
1:22.5	You see, you were created by God and for God, and he will only, he will be the only one that will ever be able to
1:28.6	fully and finally satisfy all of your wants and needs. You see, in the beginning, out of an
1:33.3	overflow of God's love for God's self, God creates image bearers. And the reason that God made man
1:39.1	is not because he needed anything. It's not like God was lonely in heaven. He was not lonely. God the Father,
1:45.7	God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have always been and will always be in a perfectly submissive
1:51.5	love relationship with himself, fulfilling everything he needs. God needs nothing. And yet,
1:57.2	because of an overflow of God's love for God's self, it spills out into creation.
2:02.1	God speaks into existence that's canvas unto his own glory with mountains and streams and
2:07.8	oceans and stars and galaxy that all shout back praise to his name.
