Summary

(Psalm 119:65-72) If everything was perfect all the time, we would become self-sufficient and lose sight of the goodness of God. But God has a way of teaching us about Himself even through circumstances that seem bad. He can always turn the bad into our good, for His glory. Let’s rejoice in this truth together!

0:00.0	The longest Psalm in the Bible is Psalm 119.
0:09.7	It has been called the Psalm of the Scriptures because it concentrates on one thing,
0:15.8	the amazing sufficiency of God's word for our lives.
0:20.0	Open to Psalm 119 today and open your heart to the Lord as we join Scott Pauli in this study.
0:26.6	It is our prayer that through God's truth, you will find all you need.
0:36.0	We are living in a world where bad things happen, and yes, bad things even happen to good people.

0:47.9	The oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job, said, man that is born of woman, is a few days and full of trouble.
0:53.3	So we know there's bad, but one of the great secrets to living a joyful Christian life
0:59.0	and truly a living and walking by faith is learning to see the good in the midst of the bad.
1:07.0	Not when the bad is gone, not when the difficulty has passed, but learning to find the good in the
1:12.8	midst of the evil that is staring you in the face. We have come now in our study of Psalm 119 to the
1:19.3	section that begins with verse 65 and continues to verse 72, and I want to read it to you, and as I read it,
1:26.3	I want you to listen for something.
1:27.8	I want you to listen for the good.
1:31.0	Because in this section, just like in all of the sections, and yes, in all the seasons of all of our lives, there are difficulties.
1:38.2	In this section, you have affliction.
1:40.8	In this section, you have enemies.
1:43.6	In this section, you have the proud working against
1:47.6	God's servant, and yet in the midst of this section, you have the good. In fact, there are three
1:53.4	goods. See if you can identify them. Psalm 119 beginning in verse 65, thou hast dealt well with thy servant,
2:00.6	O Lord, according unto thy word.
