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.
0:16.0	In fact, he is promised to never leave us or forsake us.
0:20.0	Today we join Scott Poling in opening God's roadmap for life.
0:24.6	Find your place in the Word of God in the Psalms,
0:27.6	and let's discover what God has for us along the way.
0:34.6	There are two kinds of men in this world. There are those who think they are strong,
0:40.0	and then there are those who realize they're weak, but they have found their strength in God.
0:45.9	I wonder which one of those describes the life you're living today. We find those two people
0:52.1	in Psalm 52. There is an amazing contrast here between two men,
0:57.6	one man named Doeg and another man named David. Doeg was a man of flesh. He was a man who
1:04.7	lived by force and scheme and conniving. He thought he was really something. And of course,
1:10.4	in the end, God always brings those
1:12.2	people down. You know, the Lord has a way of letting the air out of your balloon. And on the other hand,
1:16.9	there is David, the man after God's own heart, a man who at times seemed like he was very weak
1:22.6	and going to be defeated, and yet in the end always comes out in victory. How is that possible? Because David had learned
1:29.9	that he was nothing and God was everything, that he was weak and God alone was strong. Now let's read
1:36.5	this historical Psalm. Psalm 52, why boastest thou thyself in mischief, almighty man? The goodness of God endureth continually. The tongue deviseth mischives
1:48.2	like a sharp razor working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good and lying rather than to speak
1:54.4	righteousness, Celah. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue, God shall likewise destroy thee forever.
2:04.2	He shall take thee away and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place and root thee out of the land of the living,
2:10.5	Sela. The righteous also shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength but trusted in
2:22.3	the abundance of his riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness but i am like a green olive tree
