00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:07.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Do things cut as deeply as betrayal?

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:16.000
<v SPEAKER_00>It's one thing to expect opposition for an enemy, but it's another thing entirely to be wounded by someone you trusted.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Betrayal can leave you unsettled.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:25.839
<v SPEAKER_00>It can make you question your instincts, your openness, even your willingness to trust again.

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Psalm 55 gives language to this kind of pain.

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.799
<v SPEAKER_00>David writes, if an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it.

00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:40.560
<v SPEAKER_00>But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend.

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.479
<v SPEAKER_00>Scripture does not rush past this pain.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.600
<v SPEAKER_00>It makes space for it.

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:58.159
<v SPEAKER_00>And instead of withdrawing from God, David brings his wounded heart directly to him.

00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.399
<v SPEAKER_00>And today, we're going to practice the same.

00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:16.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Let's start by thinking God that He is faithful, even when people let us down.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Praise Him that His love does not shift or turn away.

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.839
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank you for being faithful, Amen.
