0:06.4	Second Kings chapter 8, verse 19.
0:09.6	Yet the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah for the sake of David, his servant,
0:16.7	since he promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever. Oh, what a good verse amidst such a
0:27.9	tragic chapter. Just like so many of these chapters in first kings and second kings, we just see the
0:34.9	sinfulness of God's people and the sinfulness of their leaders and
0:39.3	just rampant evil and wickedness and immorality and idolatry. And yet God is merciful and gracious.
0:49.7	The Lord was not willing to destroy Judah. Why? For the sake of David, his servant, since he promised to give

2:11.1	your character, and for every single thing you do that is always, always, always, 100% of the time, good and wise and
2:20.4	out of the overflow of your perfect love and perfect power. Oh God, we trust in you. We praise you
2:27.8	that you never fail your people. And we praise you that you're faithful to every single one of your promises. And God,
