0:00.0	The second section of Psalms, known as the Exodus Psalms, remind us that the God who redeemed us is still with us.
0:15.0	In fact, he is promised to never leave us or forsake us.
0:20.0	Today we join Scott Pauli in opening God's roadmap for life.
0:24.8	Find your place in the Word of God in the Psalms, and let's discover what God has for us
0:29.9	along the way.
0:36.9	God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
