| 0:00.0 | Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net. |
| 0:04.1 | Lamentations chapter 1 verse 18. The Lord is in the right for I have rebelled against his word. |
| 0:12.2 | The verse actually continues on from here, but I want to stop there and just let that soak in. |
| 0:18.7 | The Lord is in the right for I have rebelled against his word. This whole book, the book of |
| 0:25.1 | Lamentations, is a lament over what has happened in Jerusalem over the judgment and discipline of God |
| 0:33.6 | upon his people for their rebellion. In light of all that happens, the Babylonians overtake Jerusalem |
| 0:40.7 | and take the people into exile. The conclusion is the Lord is in the right for I have rebelled against |
| 0:48.4 | his word. This verse is a clear affirmation of the righteousness, the justice of God, the |
| 0:56.4 | holiness of God, in showing judgment toward those who rebel against his word. And this is so |
| 1:04.7 | important because we are so prone to question the justice of God. God, how can you be just or loving |
| 1:13.5 | or good and this or that happen in our lives or this or that happen in the world and the Bible |
| 1:20.7 | over and over and over again makes clear that in the end we will all see the justice of God |
| 1:30.4 | and the goodness of God and the righteousness of God in a world where we have all rebelled against |
| 1:39.6 | and praise God for the gospel in the end for all who trust in his grace and his mercy through |
| 1:47.6 | Jesus. We will all stand totally forgiven for all of our rebellion and we will experience |
| 1:57.4 | eternity under the goodness and holiness and rightness, righteousness of God's hand. Oh God, |
| 2:05.8 | we praise you for your justice and your holiness and your righteousness and we pray for hearts |
| 2:14.5 | of humility before you, never presuming that we know justice better than you do. And God, |
| 2:21.4 | we look forward to the day when all injustice will ultimately answer to you and your justice will |
| 2:28.9 | ultimately and finally and fully reign on the earth. Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly, bring |
| 2:35.6 | that about we pray where all of heaven and earth will conclude the Lord is in the right. We say |
| 2:43.2 | that together now then we trust in your righteousness and your justice and your holiness. |
