*car engine noise* *car engine noise* I'm sorry. All right, I picked up Brian's voice, KJ7PMW. Good morning, Brian.

How you doing? Yeah, Brian, the band is really poor. It's long.

I'm able to pick up your voice faintly. Hopefully conditions will improve as the sun comes up. They generally always do.

So thank you for that, Brian. KJ7 PWM, we got you checked in. *Rain* so Alright, this is WB7MX, net control for the West Coast Bottle Study.

We continue to look for check-ins. It's about time for us to get started with our net. Any last-minute check-ins, please come down with your call sign.

WB7VZL. There's Roger, WB7VZL. Good morning Roger, you back home now?

Yeah, back from the mountain country and back to rather the hot Walla Walla, comparative. Yeah, had a good trip, thanks for the prairies. Traveling mercies, over.

Amen, and 54 years for the two of you characters. All right, real good. Okay, I got a good signal on you, Roger.

Thank you for being there. Band is a little long today, but I hear you real well, so thankful for that. All right, this is WB7MX.

Any last-minute check-ins, please come now. Any relays? All right, hearing nothing, we're going to get started with our West Coast Bible study.

We are in Psalm 13 today, but before I talk about Psalm 13, we want to open our time in prayer. And so, Ed, in 6XOH, if you could open in prayer for us today, we'd appreciate that. Go ahead there, Ed.

All right. Let us all bow our heads. Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you this morning.

We just ask that you bless our Bible study. We just thank you for this special day, Lord, that, you know, we can celebrate our independence. Lord, that you...

kept us safe for all these years, 250 years. I just pray that you'll keep your hand upon us, Lord Jesus. Lord, I just ask that you put your hand on Brother Beck.

I know he's doing better now. I just pray that you'll keep your healing hand on him, Lord, that he can get back to 100%. Lord, I know you're watching over him.

Amen. We appreciate that so much. Anyway, Lord, I just ask the bulletin on Pastor Max, if he leads out in this Bible study this morning, just to bring clarity and understanding to all the verses that we're going to be reading and learning about this morning.

Watch over us, Lord. Most of all, help us all to be ready when you come to save us all. I pray in Jesus' name.

Amen. Amen, Ed. Thank you so much for that prayer.

And may the Lord indeed bless our nation and bless our back. All right, WB7MAX here. We are in Psalm 13.

And before we read this psalm, I want to introduce it a little bit. Psalm 13 addresses an issue that we've all struggled with. And that's the issue of exercising patience and maintaining faith in the face of adversity and unanswered prayer.

We've all been in situations where we have experienced severe trials that have gone on for a long, long time. It seems like they will kill us if they're not resolved. And we've prayed.

We've prayed fervently. We've prayed continuously for a long time that God would deliver us from these severe trials. But it seems like God is not here.

We see no answer to our prayers for deliverance. And so it seems like God has forgotten us. Now the temptation at times like these is to become resentful and angry and even hateful towards God.

The temptation is to think that if God did not answer my prayer, he must not exist. Or if he does, he does not care. And so a lot of people have gone down that road and arrived at those conclusions and abandoned the Christian faith.

And that's not something we want to do. That's not a direction we want to go. And that's not the direction that David went.

And so we see him with this anguished cry. In the first couple of verses here, this anguished question asked by David, Lord, how long? And then we see the importunate prayer that he offers.

Lord, I'm in a desperate consideration. Consider me and hear me. But then the psalm closes with an implicit trust expressed by David.

Verse 5, but I have trusted in thy mercies. So while he's waiting for this long, long period of time in which God has not answered prayer, he continues to trust God and believe God and to have faith in God. So faith and patience is the appropriate response to unanswered prayer that's gone on for a long time.

So that is the thrust and theme of our Psalm 13. Steve, W6YSI, if you could read for us Psalm 13, I would appreciate that. Go ahead there, Steve.

Okay, look to the Scripture, Psalm 13. I'll be reading from the American Standard. How long, O Lord?

Will thou forget me forever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day?

How long? my enemy be exalted over me. Consider and answer me, O Lord my God.

Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, lest my enemy say I have overcome him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am shaken. That I have trusted in thy loving kindness, My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountiful with me.

Our reading is Psalm 13, W6YSI. Steve, good reading. Thank you for that.

Before we proceed, the net would like to acknowledge Phil, K6HSV. Good morning, Phil. Good to have you with us.

See you there on the SDR. That's Phil, K6HSV. All right, any comments on this storm that Steve read to us, please come down with your call sign.

All right, I'm not hearing anybody. Any relays, please come down. I was just reading the Jeremiah 51 passage on Babylon, and it was referred to me from the passage on my margin and that's also a passage where Jeremiah deals with how long and what's going to happen to Babylon after they've oppressed God's people and so our lifetime is so short that God's chronology seems so long.

Over. Really well said, Roger. Our lifespan is so short and God's chronology is so long.

And, you know, you referenced Jeremiah 51 and Jeremiah saying, Lord, how long? Well, it was 70 years that Israel was in captivity. And all those years they're praying for deliverance from captivity.

And it's like, no, that isn't going to happen for 70 years. And, of course, Jeremiah himself... was undergoing tremendous persecution as he prophesied the truth and counseled Israel to go ahead and surrender to Babylon.

You remember they threw him in a pit and they had to haul him up out of there with ropes. He was going to die down there. So Jeremiah, they call him the weeping prophet for a reason.

And that is that he just had a lot of sorrow and difficulty. We see the book of Lamentations where he's lamenting the destruction of Israel and in particular Jerusalem and the temple and how they're just in a terrible state of affairs. And, you know, Roger, I appreciate you pointing out that phrase, "How long?" If you look at Psalm 13, verses 1 and 2, four times it says, "How long?" Notice verse 1, "How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, forever?" And then here's the second one.

How long will you hide your face from me? Here's the third one, verse 2. How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having stolen my heart daily?

And then here's the fourth one, into verse 2. How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? So, yeah, sometimes God's plans are intergenerational.

Israel was in Egypt for 400 years. And they thought, how long, Lord, before we are brought into the land that you promised Abraham our father? And so God doesn't let things drag on any longer than is absolutely necessary for his purposes to be accomplished.

And the moment they're accomplished, boom. it's over. But until it's accomplished, it's not going to be over.

And that's when we have to exercise patience and faith while waiting on God's timetable, which we don't understand and comprehend, but we can trust that He's managing it well, He hasn't gone to sleep, He's not indifferent, He's not uncaring, He just is taking His time to accomplish His purposes. Back to you there, Roger. Yeah, it's a chronology that we can't understand other than, you know, like Peter Tite highlights, you know, one day with God is like a thousand years, so to speak.

But I take comfort in the only way that the prophet who has got insight, I think of Daniel, you know, he got this insight that God was not going to fulfill his promises for God's people until hundreds of years later. maybe even thousands of years. And Daniel was sick in Daniel 8 because of the prophecy being so gigantic.

And I love what God says in Daniel chapter 12 where he talks about this how long. And he says, finally, he says, go your way. in the very last verse as for you Daniel go your way to the end then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age with a with a prophet Daniel and struggle with this hell on two over yeah really well said Roger thank you for bringing out those additional illustrations yeah second Peter three nine the Lord is not slack concerning his promise and some men count slackness but as long suffering toward us not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

And thank God that the promise of the second coming has been delayed these 2,000 years, because that gave time for us to be born and for us to be saved and included in the kingdom. And so Jesus says he's coming back. Well, how long, O Lord, how long?

And with the Lord, as you well said, one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day. And then, yes, Daniel 12, yep, he was told things that weren't going to happen for thousands of years. And it was like, Daniel, you just...

Take care of your responsibilities. I'll take care of the timetable. All this stuff I've revealed to you is going to happen in due time, but that time is a long way into the future, and so don't become anxious about it.

It also reminds me, Roger, of James. chapter 5 in verse 10 and 11 where he says take my brethren the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord for an example of suffering affliction and of patience behold we count them happy which endure you have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord that the Lord is very pitiful and full of tender mercies And so as we read our Bibles, we see people have to wait a long, long time with Daniel, or pardon me, with David, who was, you know, strike that, Joseph. I'll get the name right one of these days.

It's like going through the names of my kids, right? yeah yeah so Joseph 20 years down there Egypt before he finally got brought up to being Pharaoh's right-hand man so yeah lots of examples of patience in the Bible of maintaining faith in the face of no explanation as to what's going on, why it's going on, or how long it's going to go on. And it's fine to say, Lord, how long?

But then we have to say, however long it is, Lord, I'm going to trust you, and I'm going to be patient, and I'm going to keep doing my responsibilities that I know you have for me until the time comes that this situation is resolved in your way. All right, great comments there, Roger. Appreciate that.

Any other comments? Please come down to your call center. Kevin, KB7 ZXN, please go ahead.

Kevin, KB7 ZXN, wonderful thoughts and comments. And, you know, it's interesting. Approximately a third of the Psalms are a lament.

And, you know, they're very much a part of our experience. with our relationship with God. And God has his reasons for it, without a doubt.

And we see here, again, this lament here, but really also sung as a hymn, as these laments are in Psalms, but also ultimately turning to God. praise and trust in God as you pointed out and for how long here you know are quite significant as you said we all have and may again experience a period of time in life a long stretch of time where we you know we don't feel the presence of God and And David really is not really as much making a theological statement here in the beginning as he's expressing what he's feeling and experiencing in his sorrow, in his lament. He's concerned about how long will you forgive me, Lord?

You know, is my salvation secure? And we want to say, well, yes, of course, your salvation is secure in God. But when that silence is there, when we don't hear from God, We wonder.

You know, he questions, you know, his presence. Sometimes, you know, we have to be careful because sometimes we're afraid that God's silence can be mistaken for God's absence. And God is not absent.

He is present. And as we've studied through these other psalms, or we've studied through Job, and as even talked about in James, as you pointed out, God is still present. But sometimes His silence feels like abandonment.

at times and then David talks about being left with he kind of switches from the vertical to the inner self and the conversations that he's having with himself his inner counsel if you will and then dealing with those thoughts dealing with those conversations without the divine guidance of God at that time and then recognition again which has come up a few times in the Psalms already that the wicked be recognized for their prospering while God's people suffer and this but then you know as he changes from the lament here and these questions and he again turns his focus back to god and he calls upon god to hear him and bring light to his eyes again which is a hebrew expression of renewal of hope of of revival if you will and And I think this is expressed in Christ himself as we see in John chapter 1 verses I think 4 and 5. We see Jesus is recognized as that light. Jesus is the one that brings that renewal.

Jesus is the one that brings that hope to the world. So in a sense, in his Hebrew expression here, he's really calling out for Christ. KB7, set example.

Hang on a second. All right, I got my runaway Utah STR corralled. Okay, yes, Kevin, great comments.

Before I respond, Kevin, the net would like to recognize Gene K7GWR. Good morning, Gene. Good to have you with us there on the Utah SDR.

Appreciate you being there. Thanks for showing up and sitting with us. All right, that's Gene K7GWR.

All right, back to Kevin's comments. Yes. Kevin commented that about a third of the Psalms are a lament.

And he's exactly right about that. There's a lot of sorrow in this world. And we see that sorrow expressed in the psalmist's statements that he makes in these Psalms.

And, of course, the reason why there's so much lamentation in the book of Psalms is because we live in a fallen world. And because we are sinners ourselves, because people around us are sinners, and because we live in a fallen creation that's subject to the consequences of sin, you know, lots of bad things happen. I mean, everything that happens that's bad is a result of sin and sinfulness.

And it may not necessarily be our sin, or it may be, but... A lot of things happen just because we're living in a fallen world. There's not going to be any accidents in heaven, there's not going to be any disease in heaven.

There's not going to be any people treated badly in heaven. There's not going to be any natural disasters in heaven. All those things are a result of living in a fallen world that is subject to sin and its consequences.

And so that's why we see so much lamentation. But the comfort in being sinners and living in a sinful fallen world is that there is redemption. And Kevin brought that out Jesus has provided redemption And deliverance and light at the end of the tunnel And you know The end of the tunnel may be Not until we die And go to be with the Lord I was talking with somebody the other day That has a permanent disability They're never going to get over it, right?

And I said to them Well, you know, this is only going to last another 20 or 30 years And then you're going to be with the Lord And then for all eternity You won't have to suffer with this permanent disability That you have and people say, well, that's a cold comfort. No, I think that's a very wonderful comfort because our lives are just a tiny blip in the relationship to eternity, and that's where we have to exercise patience and faith. We live in the kind of society where we want it now, we get it now.

Well, that's not how the kingdom of God works. And so we have to understand, as Kevin well said, God's silence does not equate to God's absence. God's silence is simply saying, be patient, wait a little longer, continue to trust, keep on doing your responsibilities, and at the right time, I will bring deliverance.

Now, that may be in the next three minutes. It may be in the next three hours, three weeks, three years, three decades, three centuries. But it will come.

And that's where faith rises up, recognizes... that God works on long timetables and continues to be faithful in spite of struggling with something that's going on for a long, long time. Kevin, great comments.

Thank you for that. All right, WB7MX, looking for more comments. Please come now.

Alright, I heard a station. Can anybody give me a relay? He was really, really weak.

Yeah, so station, we heard your voice but unable to discern your call sign. If you have a comment, feel free to text message me, but we're not able to pick you up. You want to try one more time, station?

One more time, go ahead, please. All right, unable to copy. Steve, thank you for that effort.

All right, any other comments by anyone on this song, please come down with your call sign. WB7VZL There's Roger, WB7VZL, Roger, please go ahead Yeah, I'm very fortunate to be able to hear you over my, this morning, F8 noise level compared to what I've just experienced. It's quite dramatic.

But fortunately, in the Lord's presence, you and I can hear each other. But I'm thinking of, again, that I read the last verse of the Book of Daniel, but I'm just pondering, what Jesus himself in John 5 does with Daniel 2. It's an amazing experience.

Right after Daniel talks about being rescued in verse 1, Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, Daniel, will arise. So there's the insight of the resurrection in the Older Testament. And there will be a time of distress.

David is kind of a portrayal of this time of distress. Such has never occurred since there was a nation until that time. And at that time, your people, everyone who is found written in the book, apparently that's the book of life, would be, I like this term in the NASB, rescued.

So Daniel was assembly, like David, saying, how long, what's going on? And in verse 1 of Daniel 12, Everyone who is found written in the book will be rescued. And then Jesus takes off on this in John 5, 28.

And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake. These to everlasting life, but others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. So Jesus refers to these two resurrections, and so therefore we want to be in that book.

And so we need to register. It's kind of like signing in when you go to a wedding or whatever. You sign in.

So we need to sign in the book to have the resurrection to everlasting life, as Jesus says in John 5, 28. Over. Okay.

Roger, great connection of the Old Testament with the New Testament. Thank you for that. And so we see this wonderful statement as Roger mentioned in Daniel 12 and verse 2: "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting and to shun to shame and everlasting contempt.

And he's saying that those who are written in the book, Daniel 12, 1, at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book. And, of course, this terminology is brought wholesale right into the New Testament and applied to the fact that... There's going to be a resurrection, there's going to be a reading of the book, and then there's going to be a disposition of souls.

And so, Roger was saying we need to get our names written in the book, and we do that by repentance of sin and faith in Jesus. So, Roger, great comments. Thank you for making those connections.

and the fact that we have to be patient and wait on that. You know, Isaiah chapter 40, they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles.

They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and shall not faint. And so as we keep our focus on the promises...

We keep our focus on the salvation that Jesus has provided. We keep our focus on the resurrection that's coming. We keep our focus on the new earth wherein dwells righteousness.

We keep our focus on the fact that we're going to be delivered out of this present evil world. All of that gives us patience and it gives us faith. to keep on going on one more day in the face of really difficult situations for which there doesn't seem to be any present deliverance or resolution.

Roger, thank you for making those connections. All right, other comments, please come down. Steve, W6YSI, please go ahead.

Yeah, that third verse, I think, speaks pretty loudly as to how many times we have to think what needs to take place here. It says, consider and answer me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep a sleep of death.

It made me think of... what Paul would say his prayer in the church in Ephesus if I can find the verse again he says in chapter 1 verse 18 his prayer he says I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of his calling and are the riches of the glory of his in the saints and what is the surpassing great power more just believe. And, you know, things can, it's so dark and I'm looking and trying to figure out this and figure out that and what happens.

And it's just, to me it's a reminder this morning that you have to ask God to enlighten the eyes of my heart that I can now perceive what's going on here. I'm a spiritual organ. We're involved in each and every day, every six-way of time.

Steve, really well said. And yes, we need that divine illumination, that divine enlightenment. Ephesians 1.18 is the passage that Steve read to us.

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened. that you may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints is and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe. So, yes, Steve, we need illumination.

And we need understanding. God provides that in His Word. It says, "The entrance of Thy Word giveth light." They give understanding to the simple.

And so, the more we read the Bible, the less problem we're going to have with our suffering. And the less we read the Bible, and the more we focus on our pain, the more problem we're going to have with our suffering and with God. And so it's a matter of gaining that perspective, that illumination, that understanding, that enlightenment, so that we can just trust God without reservation.

We can trust God without having to have an explanation because we know the character of God and that, you know, he doesn't delight. in afflicting his people, and in all of our afflictions, he too is afflicted. And so he's suffering right alongside us as we go through our suffering because his heart is tied up in ours.

You remember, one body, right? He is the head, we're the body. And if any part of the body is hurting, the head is fully aware and deeply involved in that suffering.

So, Steve, thank you for bringing out that passage in Ephesians 1. Well said. Okay, any other comments?

Please come down. Is that an accent? Is that an accent, Royce?

Yes. Hey, KB7ZXN, well thank you, wonderful comments. I really like, Roger, the way you tied that to Daniel and ultimately Revelation.

And Steve, you touched on something that I was just going to talk about a little bit as well. And that's verses 3 and 4. and David turns to a petition to God or calling out to God.

First, three ways. One, just ask him to consider him, but he addresses God as my Lord, my God. And this is someone who is praying to God with hope, with trust, with recognition, that God will hear his prayer.

But then he does pray for the light to return to his eyes. And, you know, as you walk in discouragement and despair... and you feel alone, you know, your eyes are not lit enough, you're down.

And David's praying for that light to return to his eyes. And I don't know if you caught it before, but I did mention... John chapter 1, verses 4 and 5, where it's revealed to us that Jesus Christ is that light in that darkness, is that revival, is that renewal in us, is that hope, that light that never fades.

that living water, but expressed here as that light and in the darkness. And to me, that is substantial because that's who we always should turn to. And then, of course, the third question is you ask God to respond really for his own name's sake, that they would not be misunderstood about the wicked.

But... Going into verse 5, again, we see here, he goes from these requests to praise, and a beautiful praise. And I like the way it begins with the word but.

How often do we see that little three-letter word in English, but that word but? as a great transition, as we see in Ephesians, but God. And as we see here, and then he launches into a wonderful praise of God, which even in his sorrow and even in his anguish, he can still turn to God and praise him for all of his glory and all the good he has done.

KB7, Zedek Sin. Yeah, Kevin, great comment. You know, you see David going from how long will you forget me, verse 1, to verse 5, but I have trusted in thy mercy, and my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing. because he has dealt bountifully with me. So he goes from thinking God has deserted him to God has dealt bountifully with me.

And I think that that really brings out the movement from anguish to faith. And so here in these last two verses, We really see the heart of David towards God. David has trusted and continues to trust in the merciful kindness of God, and that God in his mercy will soon relieve him of his distresses, just as God has shown him mercy in saving him from his sins.

And so while David's waiting for God to act, what's he going to do in the meantime? Well, he's going to look away from his present trials, and he's going to meditate on his personal salvation. That's what he says in the last part of verse 5.

My heart shall rejoice in what? not my circumstances, not my unanswered prayer, and will rejoice in Thy salvation." And so David says in essence, "So I can't rejoice in my circumstances, I can rejoice in my salvation." And even if this matter is never resolved, the Lord has still dealt bountifully with me, because He's shown me already the greatest possible mercy that He could, When he gave me salvation from sin So, you know, we may not like our severe trials. We may not like how long it's going on We may not like the fact that this trial may cause us to die But you know what God is still in spite of the severe trial dealt bountifully with us Because he saved us and that's more than enough.

I to fill us with rejoicing even in the midst of the most severe trial. I've got a comment here from George, K2KJX. George says, I do struggle with the four, how long, in verses 1 and 2.

In verse 3, I have to seek the Lord to enlighten my eyes and hear me. But verse 5, I trust in my salvation and that it is in Yeshua, the Hebrew word for Jesus. And so, George, K2KJX, great summary.

Thank you. And thank you for taking us on your walk of faith, which is the walk of faith we all have to take. We're struggling, we cry out to the Lord, and then we reflect on the goodness he has shown to us.

And since he's given us salvation and he's given us his son, we know he has goodwill towards us, we know he has love towards us, and we know that he's going to work it together for our good and that ultimately we're going to be delivered out of every affliction and into the best of circumstances. I want us all to turn in our Bibles, please, to Habakkuk. And that's Habakkuk chapter 3.

verses 17 to 19 and I'll give you a minute to find it and it's in the minor prophets and it's just after name and it's just before Haggai so our Zephaniah pardon me so anyways take take a minute find Habakkuk chapter 3 these verses have been a huge comfort to me in my life time. Habakkuk chapter 3 and notice verses 17 through 19. Habakkuk is dealing with this same situation.

He says this Habakkuk 3:17 "Although the fig tree shall not blossom neither shall fruit be in the vine." The labor of the olive tree shall fail, and the field shall yield no meat. The flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls yet. Verse 18, will I rejoice in the Lord?

I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds feet, and he will make me to walk upon my high places to the chief singer on my stringed instrument. And so verse 17, even though my life is characterized by total disaster.

and nothing is working out verse 17 what am I going to do verse 18 I'm going to rejoice in the Lord and I'm going to rejoice in the God of what my salvation so if you have salvation you have everything even though you have nothing else but that and this perspective is something that is set out constantly in the Bible. Habakkuk sets it out. David sets it out here in Psalm 13, and that is he turns from his troubles to his salvation.

He rejoices in that and knows from that that God has been good to him. All right, we are out of time. It is time for us to go to prayer.

Jerry AE70R is going to close in prayer for us today. Are there any other prayer requests before Jerry closes in prayer for us? Please come down with your call, Terry.

Thanks for being there. All right, this is WB7MX, Net Control for the West Coast Bottle Study. Our net is closed, but we are standing by for conversation.

Anybody want to talk, please come down to your call site. KD7ES? KD7ES, Eric, go ahead.

Yeah, your signal came up quite a bit over the net. You were kind of up and down a little bit, but, you know, at times you're right by and it looks like you normally are, and then you kind of sink down to that noise level, about 3-3, but... Anyway, I just want to let you know that.

I don't know how I'm doing on your end, but I did have a comment towards Emma. I was going to mention one of the verses that has kind of been very meaningful for me in my life, which is 2 Corinthians 12, 9. when Jesus responded to Paul after praying to have whatever issue that was kind of I guess the I'm not sure exactly what the issue was, but it was some sort of a physical ailment.

But anyway, you know, Jesus replied, My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is in perfect in me. And then Paul said, Most gladly therefore, in my glory and my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. And when I think about that, I just, you know, that puts a lot of things in perspective for me that Paul would be willing to suffer in such a way so that Christ's power may rest upon him.

So, you know, what I'm going through a lot. things, one issue was going on, and, uh, you know, I just kind of have to remember that, you know, that, uh, Christ is, uh, the Lord is with me wherever I go, and, um, you know, I believe he can be against me, so, anyway, that's kind of my comment on that, uh, anyway, back to you, uh, there, you said, yeah. Yeah, Eric, copy all, thank you for that, you're barely above my noise level, but I was able to copy, um...

Yeah, my grace is sufficient for thee, my strength is made perfect in weakness. And you know, as we read these Psalms, we see that because of the trials, David is drawing near to God, and he's having communion with God, and he's having intimate dealings with God in a way that he would never have if everything was going smooth and everything was just the way he wanted it to be. There's something about trials that are very sanctifying.

They cause us to have a deeper, closer relationship with God than we would otherwise. And they also help conform us to the image of Jesus in our character and conduct. So, yes, when we're going through trials to think about passages...

by Paul praying, Lord, take this thorn in the flesh away. And God says, no, I'm not going to take it away. I'm going to give you grace to be able to deal with it.

And so it's better to have grace than to have ease. And if trials are what brings greater degrees of grace to us from God... Then blessed trials.

And that's basically what Paul was saying. I glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. So the less there is of us, the more there is of God.

And so that is an apparent contradiction. that only Christians who exercise faith can understand and even rejoice in. Eric, great comment, great passage.

Thank you for bringing that out. KD-7ES, back to you. Yeah, WB, thank you for your response.

I appreciate it. You know, there's some things that it's probably not exactly appropriate to do over there, It's a common thing that I've gone through, but sometimes it's like you were mentioning, children over 20 years going through trials and stuff like that in their nature. And you know, I'm not the only one.

I understand that everybody's gone through, you know, There's some issues here and there. We have to work through that and come up with things that, you know, And we will be looking at the floor until a thousand years from now. And the years will be passed away, so we will stop on this scene.

And we are going to go through this scene, but it will never go away or be a deal. But anyway, yeah, there's some things that one thing I would like to probably share with you, the here No, it's been around for quite a while. I'm going to be urgent.

I have to go ahead and check. I think you're done talking. Yeah, I was only able to pick up about half of that.

The band is really deteriorating, and somebody was tuning up on top of you. In any event, yeah, if you want to talk with me, call me up, and we'll talk about those personal things in private. All right.

I'm completely losing the band here now, so I'm going to go QRT. Eric, good talking to you and yes, by all means give me a call and we'll chat. Alright, this is WB7MAX, I'm going to be clearing QRT..
