0:00.0	We all would like to think that we know where we are going and how to get there.
0:13.0	But at every stage in life, we need divine direction. God has promised to guide us if we simply follow.
0:20.0	The fifth and final section of Psalms are referred to as Deuteronomy Psalms because they remind
0:25.6	us to keep returning to the truth of God's Word.
0:29.6	Join us as we study them with Scott Pauli today. We like to think of ourselves as hard-working, get-it-done people.
0:49.3	We concentrate on all the things we can accomplish.
0:52.8	And yet, I want to remind you today that the great works
0:55.5	that are accomplished are not our works, they're God's works. And that in fact, God is always working.
1:02.2	Psalm 111 is the Psalm that highlights for us the work of God. You know, each of these Psalms has

1:46.3	progression here. He begins by going all the way back to the Creator, to the one who made the
1:52.7	world and sustains the world. He comes forward to God's covenant work. And then he ends with God's
1:58.2	redemptive work and his continued work of wisdom in our life.
2:01.8	So there is this beautiful progression of seeing God's work from beginning to end.
