1
00:00:00,000 –> 00:00:13,520
I wait for the Lord, he says, my soul waits No smart answers, no trite phrases, no patronizing
2
00:00:13,520 –> 00:00:20,440
advice, no exhortations to pull yourself together, just a simple decision and a steady commitment
3
00:00:20,440 –> 00:00:23,379
to wait.
4
00:00:23,379 –> 00:00:27,780
Welcome to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. I’m David Pick and Colin today we’re
5
00:00:27,780 –> 00:00:34,040
talking about a subject many people really don’t like, no one likes to wait.
6
00:00:34,040 –> 00:00:38,759
What’s your favourite place to wait? I mean waiting in line at the grocery store?
7
00:00:38,759 –> 00:00:39,759
Oh, that’s terrible.
8
00:00:39,759 –> 00:00:40,759
Waiting on a train?
9
00:00:40,759 –> 00:00:46,459
I hate that! I wanna wait at a nice coffee shop with good Wi-fi.
10
00:00:46,459 –> 00:00:53,040
You know it doesn’t grab us as a wonderful thing to do, waiting. I mean it seems like
11
00:00:53,459 –> 00:01:02,299
the most useless redundant waste of time and yet the Bible time and again talks about waiting
12
00:01:02,299 –> 00:01:06,980
on God. I think that’s one of the hardest things for us to understand in our culture.
13
00:01:06,980 –> 00:01:11,680
We’re in the culture of rush, the next thing get onto it, you know? What does it mean for
14
00:01:11,680 –> 00:01:17,680
me to wait on the Lord? Well, we’re gonna find out today in the Psalms that when I find
15
00:01:17,699 –> 00:01:22,860
myself in a dark place in life, that’s the most important thing for me to do. And if
16
00:01:22,860 –> 00:01:29,180
you are in a place of real darkness right now, then knowing what it means to wait on
17
00:01:29,180 –> 00:01:34,980
the Lord is perhaps the single most important thing for you to grasp right now. So I’m so
18
00:01:34,980 –> 00:01:37,459
glad the scripture speaks to us so clearly about it.
19
00:01:37,459 –> 00:01:44,459
It does. So, let’s not wait any longer. We’re in Psalm 130, continuing our message. Trusting
20
00:01:44,500 –> 00:01:47,400
in the darkness. Here’s Colin.
21
00:01:47,400 –> 00:01:53,459
In your Bible and you will discover men and women of faith who walked through the dark
22
00:01:53,459 –> 00:02:00,459
night of the soul and they did not hide the pain under a pile of spiritual phrases. They
23
00:02:01,620 –> 00:02:08,000
faced the pain and all of it’s horror and they brought it as it is into the presence
24
00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:15,000
of God. That connects the soul to God. Even the soul in agony to God.
25
00:02:15,380 –> 00:02:22,380
Out of the depths I cry to you, oh Lord! This is prayer ascending
26
00:02:24,820 –> 00:02:31,820
from a soul in turmoil. It is authentic, it is real.
27
00:02:34,500 –> 00:02:38,979
I asked a lady who was bereaved not so long ago how she was doing and she said,
28
00:02:39,440 –> 00:02:46,440
God, it just hurts so much. And the way she said it, I sensed that she thought that was
29
00:02:50,740 –> 00:02:57,740
a failure of faith. I actually thought it was refreshingly honest. See, if you deny
30
00:02:59,860 –> 00:03:06,860
the pain, you can’t bring it to God, and you then shut off one of the greatest opportunities
31
00:03:07,839 –> 00:03:14,839
to discover His grace. Where did we get the idea that pain isn’t quite so painful if you
32
00:03:15,419 –> 00:03:20,899
are a Christian? If I hit my thumb with a hammer, it hurts as much as it hurts the unbeliever,
33
00:03:20,899 –> 00:03:27,899
did you know that? And when a Christian’s soul is in the dead — if you didn’t know
34
00:03:27,919 –> 00:03:34,919
that, try it by the way. When a Christian’s soul is in the depth of sorrow, the pain can
35
00:03:35,600 –> 00:03:42,600
seem overwhelming to the Christian soul. And it is no part of Christian faith to deny that.
36
00:03:43,240 –> 00:03:50,240
We distance ourselves if we do from Jesus, who said in the garden, My soul is overwhelmed
37
00:03:50,279 –> 00:03:57,279
with sorrow — he said. Out of the depths, I cry to you, O Lord. What do you do when
38
00:03:57,960 –> 00:04:04,960
you cry out to God from the depths, when you find yourself in that dark night of the soul?
39
00:04:11,279 –> 00:04:18,279
What are you to do? And what the Psalmist says to us here in verse 5, one word, wait,
40
00:04:18,279 –> 00:04:25,279
wait. I wait for the Lord, he says, my soul waits. This is marvelous. This is new ground,
41
00:04:38,540 –> 00:04:43,299
isn’t it? No, no smart answers, no trite phrases, no patronizing advice. No exhortations to
42
00:04:43,500 –> 00:04:50,500
pull yourself together. Just a simple decision, and a steady commitment to wait. That wasn’t
43
00:04:52,299 –> 00:04:56,100
in the Bible. I would never have written that. You would never have thought of that, would
44
00:04:56,100 –> 00:05:03,100
you? Wait. In our instant culture where we want an answer to everything within the moment,
45
00:05:08,019 –> 00:05:11,619
this is one of the hardest things for us to do. It’s also one, of course, of the most
46
00:05:11,619 –> 00:05:18,619
important disciplines for us to learn. The psalmist knew that when you are in deep pain,
47
00:05:20,899 –> 00:05:27,899
there are no quick answers. This man prays, out of the depths I call to you, O Lord. He
48
00:05:31,459 –> 00:05:37,700
continues, he says, to fill his mind with the Word of God. He lifts his pain to God.
49
00:05:37,739 –> 00:05:44,739
He fills his mind with the Word of God and beyond that he waits. He refuses to pretend
50
00:05:47,299 –> 00:05:53,519
that all is well before a solution has come. Here I am in the depths. My inner being is
51
00:05:53,519 –> 00:05:57,559
in pain. I will not deny the pain, I will not pretend
52
00:05:57,559 –> 00:06:04,519
with sleek phrases that all is well. Here is what I will do. I will wait for the Lord.
53
00:06:05,239 –> 00:06:13,359
Now think about it, waiting is one of the most beautiful and profound expressions of
54
00:06:13,420 –> 00:06:20,420
love. You ever been in a hospital for an operation and when you came around there was someone
55
00:06:20,700 –> 00:06:27,700
sitting by the bed just waiting? Beautiful expression of love.
56
00:06:27,859 –> 00:06:34,859
When we made our move to this country 6 years ago, arriving at O’Here, we had to go through
57
00:06:38,299 –> 00:06:44,220
the immigration procedure, which seemed to take forever. It actually took about two hours
58
00:06:44,220 –> 00:06:49,899
after the plane landed. Then finally after going through all of this fingerprinting process
59
00:06:49,899 –> 00:06:53,679
and all of the rest of it, we were able to collect our luggage and to come out into the
60
00:06:54,119 –> 00:07:01,119
and I will never forget seeing more than a dozen people from this congregation with banners
61
00:07:01,600 –> 00:07:08,600
smiling and cheering. I remember the faces still. They’d been waiting. It’s a wonderful
62
00:07:10,320 –> 00:07:15,640
expression of love! Actually that occurs to me there were probably another dozen who gave
63
00:07:15,640 –> 00:07:21,519
up an hour previously and went home and if you did, don’t feel bad about that! I don’t
64
00:07:21,519 –> 00:07:28,519
blame you at all! But waiting! We couldn’t believe it, we’d been so long! It’s a beautiful
65
00:07:29,320 –> 00:07:36,339
expression of love. Now the length of time you’re prepared to wait is really an expression
66
00:07:37,959 –> 00:07:44,440
of the value that you place on the person you’re waiting for. I had to get permission
67
00:07:44,440 –> 00:07:51,440
to tell you this today, but I waited two years for the lady who is now my wife. Oh! Is that
68
00:07:51,820 –> 00:07:57,320
beautiful? She grabbed my heart the first moment I saw her. The problem was she had
69
00:07:57,320 –> 00:08:06,320
the same effect on several others. And I was way, way too slow! So I had to wait, and hope!
70
00:08:11,200 –> 00:08:18,200
But the waiting was an expression of love. David says, I will wait for the Lord. Isn’t
71
00:08:21,519 –> 00:08:28,519
this the question — how long would you wait for God? The length of the waiting is
72
00:08:28,700 –> 00:08:35,700
the greatest expression of the value you place on the one you are waiting for. This is worship
73
00:08:36,640 –> 00:08:43,640
when David says this. There isn’t a greater expression of love in all the world. God,
74
00:08:44,380 –> 00:08:49,340
your Face seems hidden from me, I find myself in the darkness, I don’t know what you’re
75
00:08:49,559 –> 00:08:56,559
doing, but I will wait for you. And then notice what he says because it’s not only waiting,
76
00:09:00,119 –> 00:09:06,960
his waiting is sustained by hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait
77
00:09:06,960 –> 00:09:13,960
for morning. Picture that miserable old night watchman and he’s parading around the area
78
00:09:14,460 –> 00:09:19,419
that he’s securing and it’s a long, long night and it’s cold and he’s looking at his watch
79
00:09:19,419 –> 00:09:24,200
and, oh dear, when’s the dawn going to come. The one thing sustains him is that however
80
00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:31,200
dark and long this night is, the dawn will surely come and he knows it.
81
00:09:32,239 –> 00:09:36,859
And that’s how I look for God, he says, that’s how I wait for the Lord, not with some sense
82
00:09:36,940 –> 00:09:43,940
of despair, some sense of hopelessness, but with the deep conviction of mind and heart
83
00:09:44,619 –> 00:09:51,619
that at some point, God will come through for me. And when he does, I will be right
84
00:09:57,179 –> 00:10:04,179
here waiting for him. Don’t deny the pain.
85
00:10:05,080 –> 00:10:08,539
Wait for the Lord.
86
00:10:08,539 –> 00:10:13,380
You’re listening to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith, and a message called
87
00:10:13,380 –> 00:10:17,719
Trusting in the Darkness. If you tuned in later, don’t forget you can catch up, or
88
00:10:17,719 –> 00:10:24,719
go back and listen again online at our website openthebible.org.uk. We’re in Psalm 130,
89
00:10:24,979 –> 00:10:29,960
so I hope you’ll stay with us for the rest of the program. Back to the message now. Here’s
90
00:10:29,960 –> 00:10:30,960
Colin
91
00:10:31,119 –> 00:10:35,140
the third and last thing, this morning.
92
00:10:35,140 –> 00:10:42,140
You will not be disappointed. About a year after we were married, I decided to take Karen
93
00:10:42,559 –> 00:10:47,799
for a day at the cricket in England. Now it’s a wonderful game, and I promise you
94
00:10:47,799 –> 00:10:53,940
that there is nothing more glorious than an English summer’s day, watching the cricket
95
00:10:53,940 –> 00:11:00,840
cricket with your lunch packed and spread out before you. It is just a little taste
96
00:11:00,840 –> 00:11:06,320
of heaven itself, I promise you. Well, we had planned a day to see England
97
00:11:06,320 –> 00:11:11,200
against the West Indies in Birmingham, which is about 100 miles from our home in London.
98
00:11:11,200 –> 00:11:16,679
Cricket begins at 11 in the morning and continues until six in the evening. You get good value
99
00:11:16,679 –> 00:11:23,460
for your ticket. And we traveled to Birmingham, and as we arrived we noticed that the clouds
100
00:11:23,460 –> 00:11:29,080
were gathering. And sure enough, just before 11, the heavens opened, and we were rushing
101
00:11:29,080 –> 00:11:36,859
for cover from the rain. But, of course, they said it would only be a shower. In England
102
00:11:36,859 –> 00:11:42,640
you should take that kind of statement with a pinch of salt. Well, we watched the water
103
00:11:42,640 –> 00:11:49,700
hogs soak up water from the grass for four hours. And then the skies began to clear.
104
00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:57,000
And, sure enough, we were wonderfully rewarded because, at four o’clock, the game began and
105
00:11:59,280 –> 00:12:06,280
continued for twenty-five minutes until the rain came again and play was abandoned for
106
00:12:07,039 –> 00:12:12,659
the day. At the end, as we left, Karen said to me,
107
00:12:13,280 –> 00:12:20,280
it wasn’t worth it. It was difficult to find an answer.
108
00:12:22,059 –> 00:12:28,000
We should have scrapped the tickets and gone and done something else.
109
00:12:28,000 –> 00:12:32,780
Now, here’s the bottom-line question. We gotta face it if we’re going to be honest
110
00:12:32,780 –> 00:12:39,780
here. Is it worth waiting on God when you’re in
111
00:12:40,340 –> 00:12:47,340
the depth of sorrow? What will come out of waiting from God?
112
00:12:50,679 –> 00:12:55,299
For there is a temptation that comes to the human soul, as it were, to tear up our tickets,
113
00:12:55,299 –> 00:13:02,299
cut our losses, and get on with something else. Is all this as I go through the darkness
114
00:13:02,500 –> 00:13:09,500
so that God may salvage some little scrap of blessing out of a mountain of pain, like
115
00:13:13,780 –> 00:13:20,780
an uneventful twenty-five minutes of play on a rain-soaked day? I need to know the answer
116
00:13:21,099 –> 00:13:28,099
to that question if I am to be sustained in my waiting on God in the darkness.
117
00:13:28,659 –> 00:13:31,380
So look at what he says in verse 7.
118
00:13:31,380 –> 00:13:38,380
Oh Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and
119
00:13:39,340 –> 00:13:46,179
with him is full redemption. Literally the word there, full, is
120
00:13:46,179 –> 00:13:53,179
plentiful, plentiful redemption, abundant redemption.
121
00:13:53,960 –> 00:14:00,479
Redemption means simply what God will bring out of the pain and brokenness that afflicts
122
00:14:00,479 –> 00:14:06,059
your soul in the darkness, and what God will bring out of it, the Psalmist says will be
123
00:14:06,059 –> 00:14:12,340
plentiful, not just enough. Plentiful.
124
00:14:12,340 –> 00:14:17,219
Peter talks about the same thing in the New Testament when he talks about the grief that
125
00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:26,080
you will experience in all kinds of trials, he says. And in the furnace of these trials,
126
00:14:26,080 –> 00:14:32,900
what will happen is this – your faith will be proved genuine and then when Jesus Christ
127
00:14:32,900 –> 00:14:39,900
is revealed, it will rebound to the praise and to the glory and to the honor of God.
128
00:14:39,900 –> 00:14:46,900
See, we see all of our experience wrapped up in a day, a week, a month or a year. We
129
00:14:50,719 –> 00:14:57,340
look at such a short timeframe that it is difficult for us to imagine how anything can
130
00:14:57,340 –> 00:15:03,239
come out of the darkness that would be greater than the pain that we have experienced in
131
00:15:04,239 –> 00:15:08,559
but God is looking at a bigger picture.
132
00:15:08,559 –> 00:15:15,559
Your whole body and soul will be redeemed. You are going to be brought into the presence
133
00:15:16,880 –> 00:15:23,880
of God and made like Him. This whole sorry fallen creation in which we live our lives
134
00:15:24,799 –> 00:15:29,799
is going to be redeemed and is going to be renewed, and what God will bring out of this
135
00:15:30,080 –> 00:15:37,080
suffering world will be more than we could ever begin to imagine or our minds could comprehend.
136
00:15:37,760 –> 00:15:44,760
What God will bring out of your darkness – your suffering in particular – will be out of
137
00:15:44,760 –> 00:15:51,760
scale so as to diminish what to you now is so overwhelmingly large. That is beyond what
138
00:15:52,719 –> 00:15:59,719
at this point we can grasp or what we can perceive, but this is the promise of God.
139
00:16:02,000 –> 00:16:09,000
When God redeems, it will not be enough, it will be plentiful. And when you see what God
140
00:16:11,000 –> 00:16:18,000
has redeemed in heaven, and when you see your part in it, you will say, I’m so glad there
141
00:16:22,460 –> 00:16:29,460
I waited for the Lord. And if you want evidence of that, then just look at Jesus. My soul
142
00:16:34,140 –> 00:16:40,440
is overwhelmed with sorrow, He said in the Garden of Gethsemane. And then they came to
143
00:16:40,440 –> 00:16:47,440
arrest Him and He said, this is your hour where darkness reigns. You see He didn’t deny
144
00:16:48,380 –> 00:16:55,380
the darkness. Then He moves deeper and deeper into the darkness and the anguish of His own
145
00:16:55,599 –> 00:16:59,799
soul. His friends desert Him, the sin of the world is laid upon him, darkness covers the
146
00:16:59,799 –> 00:17:06,800
land and then he cannot even feel the presence of his Father. And if you had been standing
147
00:17:08,540 –> 00:17:15,540
there at the foot of Calvary and someone had asked you, what good can God bring out of
148
00:17:16,520 –> 00:17:23,520
this that is greater than the darkness He experiences, you would have been stuck for
149
00:17:24,479 –> 00:17:31,479
an answer. So what does he do? He waits, he hopes, he trusts. Father, into Your hand I
150
00:17:32,079 –> 00:17:39,079
commit my spirit.’ They took down his body. On the third day the father raises him up
151
00:17:50,160 –> 00:17:57,160
and redemption streams to the whole world.
152
00:17:57,819 –> 00:18:04,819
So come with me one last time into the board room of the soul. The members of the board
153
00:18:11,520 –> 00:18:18,000
are in somber mood as they reflect on the deep darkness in which they find themselves,
154
00:18:18,000 –> 00:18:25,000
but now the Spirit of God comes right into the board room and takes that chair that God
155
00:18:25,199 –> 00:18:32,199
has set in every soul that will receive his presence. I know the pain of this soul, the
156
00:18:34,800 –> 00:18:41,800
spirit says, mind I know all your questions. You believe God knows all your questions?
157
00:18:45,640 –> 00:18:52,640
Heart I feel all your pain. Conscience I know all your burdens. Imagination I know all
158
00:18:53,599 –> 00:19:00,599
your fears. Memory I know all your regrets. Will I know that you feel spent. And I want
159
00:19:07,040 –> 00:19:14,040
you to know says the spirit of God I have not come as a visitor. I have come to stay
160
00:19:15,479 –> 00:19:22,479
so that we may work through this darkness together. Mind I know all your worries. Thou
161
00:19:23,479 –> 00:19:28,760
s a great deal that you don t know and can t know but I want you to focus now on what
162
00:19:28,760 –> 00:19:35,760
you do know. So we can help the other members of the board. Mind straightens himself in
163
00:19:36,119 –> 00:19:43,119
his chair and then holds his head and his hands as he tries to focus. Well all I know
164
00:19:43,500 –> 00:19:50,500
right now is that we were in great darkness says mind. That s a good start. God I know
165
00:19:52,900 –> 00:19:59,900
the whole soul can agree on that says the spirit. Now what else do we know? Can we agree
166
00:20:00,280 –> 00:20:07,280
that God is with us? No we can t says heart because I can t feel him. Yes but that s not
167
00:20:09,920 –> 00:20:16,920
the issue says conscience. Remember heart you can t feel anything except the pain. It
168
00:20:17,560 –> 00:20:24,560
s overwhelmed you and obliterated all else. The question is not can you feel His presence
169
00:20:26,800 –> 00:20:33,800
the question is simply is he here. I m ready to believe He s here says memory. We knew
170
00:20:37,719 –> 00:20:44,719
Him here before why should the darkness make us doubt His presence now? Yes says imagination
171
00:20:45,599 –> 00:20:52,599
like the sun that s always there but sometimes hidden behind a cloud hidden for our view
172
00:20:53,359 –> 00:21:00,359
only for a time but still there as much as before. We are in the darkness then but God
173
00:21:04,800 –> 00:21:11,800
is with us. Can we also agree that God will bring us through, when? When? God will bring
174
00:21:15,500 –> 00:21:22,500
us through, he says heart painfully, I don’t know how much longer I can stand this. We
175
00:21:23,880 –> 00:21:30,880
not talking time scales, says Will. The question is simply whether we choose to believe that
176
00:21:31,839 –> 00:21:38,839
God will bring us through and the only alternative is to remain in the darkness. No one else
177
00:21:39,800 –> 00:21:46,800
can bring us out. I move, says Will, that we affirm as the position of this soul that
178
00:21:50,439 –> 00:21:57,439
we are in the darkness, that God is with us and that God will bring us through. Second,
179
00:21:57,479 –> 00:22:04,479
says Mind, with God darkness is never the final word. Let’s look to see his full
180
00:22:07,219 –> 00:22:14,219
redemption. The motion was carried unanimously.
181
00:22:16,780 –> 00:22:22,680
I think many of us can relate to this message, if we’re, if we’ve experienced the dark
182
00:22:22,699 –> 00:22:27,819
night of the soul, those times when you can’t make sense of what’s going on in your life
183
00:22:27,819 –> 00:22:33,540
and you have no sense of God’s presence. How do you deal with that? Today’s message,
184
00:22:33,540 –> 00:22:38,040
trusting in the darkness, I think helps us to see how sometimes we just need to wait
185
00:22:38,040 –> 00:22:39,520
on the Lord.
186
00:22:39,520 –> 00:22:43,619
You’ve been listening to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith and today’s message
187
00:22:43,619 –> 00:22:48,040
trusting in the darkness. If you’ve missed any of the message, if you tuned in late,
188
00:22:48,040 –> 00:22:52,540
or if you’d like to pray with us, today’s message is about failing faith.
189
00:22:52,540 –> 00:22:56,900
If indeed, if you missed yesterday’s, which was the first part of this message, you can
190
00:22:56,900 –> 00:23:03,859
always go back and listen again online at our website openthebible.org.uk, or find us
191

193
00:23:12,319 –> 00:23:17,520
Open the Bible is supported entirely by our listeners. People just like you. And if that’s
194
00:23:17,520 –> 00:23:22,140
something you’ve been considering doing, we have an offer for you this month to say
195
00:23:22,280 –> 00:23:26,979
thank you for your support. If you are able to set up a new payment to the work of Open
196
00:23:26,979 –> 00:23:32,339
the Bible, in the amount of £5 per month or more. This month we’d love to thank you
197
00:23:32,339 –> 00:23:38,339
by sending you pastor Colin’s new book, Flying Through the Bible. Colin, why did you use
198
00:23:38,339 –> 00:23:40,939
the flying metaphor to describe this book?
199
00:23:40,939 –> 00:23:45,800
Well, suppose you were making a visit to the Grand Canyon and exploring it for the first
200
00:23:45,800 –> 00:23:50,140
time. I mean, I guess you could hike down and you’d get a sense of the depth of the
201
00:23:50,140 –> 00:23:55,420
canyon, you could drive around the rim you’d get a sense of the length of it, but perhaps
202
00:23:55,420 –> 00:24:01,140
the best way to get an overall sense of the vastness and beauty of the Grand Canyon would
203
00:24:01,140 –> 00:24:07,579
be to take a flight over it. Now, when it comes to the Bible, to get a high-altitude
204
00:24:07,579 –> 00:24:13,380
overview of what the Bible’s story is all about seems to me to be the best place to
205
00:24:13,380 –> 00:24:18,500
begin. The Bible really is one story, it begins in a garden, it ends in a city, and all the
206
00:24:18,540 –> 00:24:22,920
through it’s about the Lord Jesus Christ. And Fly Through the Bible is kind of cookies
207
00:24:22,920 –> 00:24:29,380
on the bottom shelf, to change the analogy, it gives an overall picture, an introduction
208
00:24:29,380 –> 00:24:34,300
to the scripture that I hope will help and encourage people to want to explore more
209
00:24:34,300 –> 00:24:36,420
when they get on the ground.
210
00:24:36,420 –> 00:24:41,020
Well we’d love to send you a free copy of Colin’s book, Fly Through the Bible, to say
211
00:24:41,020 –> 00:24:45,979
thank you for setting up a new donation to the work of Open the Bible this month in the
212
00:24:46,099 –> 00:24:51,500
amount of £5 per month or more. Full details of this offer are on our website.
213
00:24:51,500 –> 00:24:54,540

214
00:24:54,540 –> 00:24:58,979
For Pastor Colin Smith and Open the Bible, I’m David Pick, and I hope you’ll come and
215
00:24:58,979 –> 00:25:06,300
join us again soon.
216
00:25:06,300 –> 00:25:10,900
Does it feel as if your life with God has gone through a lot of disruption?
