0:00.0	The third section of Psalms, known as the Leviticus Psalms, remind us that the God who redeemed us is still with us.
0:16.0	In fact, he is promised to never leave us or forsake us., we join Scott Pauli in opening God's roadmap for life.
0:24.6	Find your place in the Word of God, in the Psalms,
0:27.5	and let's discover what God has for us along the way.
0:35.8	The greatest war on our planet is not political, it is not philosophical, it is not even military.
0:43.8	The greatest war going on is a spiritual war.
