Summary

Psalm 81 tells us how to handle the wilderness times of life. It tells us how to use various spiritual disciplines as practical skills in order to handle our times of suffering, our times of pain, our times of difficulty. There are four things we learn here: 1) life is a wilderness, 2) there’s a rock in the wilderness, 3) there’s honey in the rock, and 4) there’s something else that I’ll tell you when we get to it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 19, 2002. Series: Psalms: Disciples of Grace. Scripture: Psalm 81.

0:32.1	The reading is from Psalm chapter 81 verses 1 through 16.
0:42.1	Sing for joy to God, our strength. Shout aloud to the God of Jacob. Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre. sound the ram's horn at the new moon, the new moon,
0:57.1	and when the moon is full on the day of our feast. This is a decree for Israel, an ordinance of the
1:03.6	God of Jacob. He established it as a statute for Joseph when he went out against Egypt, where he
1:10.0	heard a language we did not understand.
1:13.0	He says, I removed the burden from their shoulders. Their hands were set free from the basket.
1:19.3	In your distress, you called, and I rescued you. I answered you out of a thunt or cloud. I tested
1:26.0	you at the waters of Maraba. Here, oh, my people,

1:38.6	You shall not bow down to an alien God. I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth,
1:47.2	and I will fill it. But my people would not listen to me. Israel would not submit to me.
1:54.0	So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. If my people would
1:59.3	but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways,
2:02.4	how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes? Those who hate
