0:00.0	Pray the Word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net.
0:30.5	How long will God is the foe to scoff is the enemy to revile your name forever.
0:36.9	The picture is God's people at a low point, which is common throughout the Psalms and common
0:43.7	in our lives. We walk through things that are difficult, hard days, low days. But the beauty we see
0:51.8	at so many points is God's grace meeting us there. God speaking His word over us in those moments
1:00.2	the issue here in Psalm 74 verse 9 is in this low moment in this dark day. We don't see any
1:07.5	signs. We don't hear from any prophet. And there is none among us. Listen to this phrase who knows
1:13.2	how long they don't know how long it's going to last. They don't know when it's going to end.
1:18.5	They have no hope of when injustice and evil and pain will be gone. Or if it will end, I just
1:26.8	read this and I think about the people we pray for on this podcast every day. Unreach people in
1:32.7	the world who don't have any word from God about suffering ending. They don't have the word from

1:56.4	Someone to speak God's word to them to tell them it won't last forever. Injustice, evil and

2:09.9	When we pray for them on this podcast, I hope it doesn't just become rot or routine in a sense
2:16.2	that we would genuinely enter see for people who are hopeless without Jesus. Billions of them
2:23.4	around the world today to pray for the faithy people. It's a small people group. 50,000 of them
2:29.9	in the southwestern corner of Saudi Arabia across the border from Yemen. No followers of Jesus
2:35.9	among them. No church among the faithy people. God we pray for people who don't have your word,
2:42.6	who don't have a prophet actually have false prophets and think of Jesus as a mere prophet. They've
2:50.0	never heard the good news that he is actually your son. The heart of the Trinity that he has come
