Welcome back to Ask Pastor John with longtime author and pastor John Piper.
2
As some of you know, we launched our next generation vision to aggressively spread great joy in a big God to the next generation.
3
We did that this year, this fiscal year, and to accomplish it, we are in the process of upgrading our technology and expanding the distribution of our resources far and wide, all of it free of charge.
4
And as we end our fiscal year here in just a couple of days, please consider joining us by giving a monthly
5
or a one-time gift to help offset the cost of free for thousands just like you.
6
Go to desiringgod.org forward slash give.
7
Today, that's desiringgod.org forward slash give.
8
And if you already give, if you already support us, thank you very much for your partnership with us.
9
Okay, you open your Bible in the morning.
10
Maybe you're reading the Navigator's Bible reading plan with us this year.
11
I hope you're doing so.
12
And if you do, you just met a huge promise from God right there in black and white on the page.
13
It said that you, you Christian, you will be kept from all evil.
14
We just read it yesterday in Psalm 121.
15
I hope you saw it.
16
I hope you underlined it because it's a huge promise.
17
And it's a huge promise you should claim.
18
But then you'll look around.
19
You will see Christians who are sick, believers experiencing serious accidents.
20
You will see tragedies in the lives of the friends that you have at church.
21
And you will see the ways that Christians have been sinned against.
22
The math doesn't add up.
23
We are not kept from all evil.
24
Today I'm going to ask Pastor John why God's protection still hurts.
25
And we dealt with murder last time, Pastor John, so we are freshly aware of the darkness of the sinful world.
26
Here's today's question from an anonymous listener.
27
Pastor John, hello.
28
Can you explain Psalm 121 to me?
29
It boldly declares to us that we have God's protective care.
30
He who keeps you will not slumber.
31
The Lord will keep you from all evil.
32
He will keep your life.
33
That's in verses 3 and 7.
34
Yet many believers still experience suffering, danger, and hardships.
35
Does the Lord is your keeper?
36
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
37
In verses 5 and 6, does that mean we will never face harm or loss?
38
or does this psalm offer deeper assurances?
39
It's really good to return to this issue repeatedly because we all love the psalms.
40
We love them.
41
My wife would rather read psalms than any other book in the Bible.
42
They are so full of practical wrestlings with real-life issues that we all deal with.
43
We love the psalms.
44
And yet, all of us pause and ponder
45
when we come to these seemingly absolute promises that God won't let anything bad happen to us.
46
So even though we have dealt with this issue on this podcast repeatedly, we've never dealt with Psalm 121 that I can see.
47
We've dealt with Psalm 91 that has the amazing statement that the arrow that flies by day will not come near you.
48
And we talked about why did Elizabeth Elliot name the biography of her murdered husband in the shadow of the Almighty,
49
which is the first verse of Psalm 91, when in fact he did get hit by one of those arrows or a spear that would not come near him, according to Psalm 91.
50
What was she thinking?
51
And we wrestled with that.
52
That was episode 1692.
53
And we dealt with Psalm 3420, which says that God keeps all his bones.
54
Not one of them is broken.
55
And I was reciting that text as the little boy, eight feet in front of me, had a cast on his arm.
56
A very confused little boy.
57
I had to walk right up to him and say, okay, young man, that was episode 1885.
58
You can't see if I'm curious.
59
Oh, yeah.
60
It's unforgettable.
61
What did he say to that kid?
62
And we looked at Psalm 103, which says that God heals all your diseases.
63
Really?
64
How? When?
65
That was episode 2148.
66
So we've been there.
67
Yeah.
68
And now I'm really happy to do this again and think through it again.
69
And I think there are some remarkable clues in Psalm 121.
70
What about this psalm?
71
I love this psalm.
72
I've memorized it and re-memorized it.
73
It has a very special place in our family.
74
I mean, I used to travel a lot more than I do now.
75
So Noelle and I have said a lot of goodbyes and a lot of hellos.
76
I'm gone.
77
I'm back.
78
Which is a paraphrase of Psalm 121.
79
I'm gone.
80
I'm back.
81
And I want to say, in most of those farewells, I think most of them, we quoted this psalm.
82
We laid hold on this psalm.
83
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
84
So what do Noel and I mean?
85
What are we banking on when we say that?
86
In the middle of the psalm, he says, The sun will not strike you by day or the moon by night.
87
The Lord will keep you from all evil.
88
He will keep your life.
89
He will keep you from all evil.
90
What does that mean?
91
Does it mean that if you truly believe in, if you truly obey God, you'll never suffer anything hurtful?
92
And now we know from the Psalms themselves, not somewhere else, but the Psalms, and we know from the New Testament, that's not true.
93
It's not true about God.
94
And it's not what the Psalm writers believed was true.
95
The Psalmist can say, and Paul quotes this in Romans 8, this is Psalm 44, we are being killed all day long.
96
We are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.
97
That's from the Psalms, not just Romans 8.
98
That's Psalm 44, 22.
99
And besides that, the psalmists are always in some kind of suffering and pain and affliction.
100
And over and over again, it comes out.
101
So I think what Psalm 121 means when it says, the Lord will keep you from all evil,
102
is that when evil befalls you, God will keep you from its condemning, destroying effects.
103
That's what I think it means.
104
God will use his power to keep evil from touching you in a thousand ways now.
105
Yes, he has.
106
I mean, I've come home.
107
I'm still alive.
108
No airplane crashes.
109
I just got platinum status from Delta.
110
Oh, wow.
111
Not because I earned it, but because I got so close.
112
They felt sorry for me.
113
because I'm a million miler.
114
Something Delta did exactly right.
115
Wow.
116
At any rate, no crashes.
117
No crashes for a million miles.
118
And then when it seems wise to God, he will let evil touch you, but he will protect you from it.
119
That is from its destructive effects.
120
And finally, he will bring you to an eternal experience where you will never taste that evil of any kind again.
121
Now, here's some clues in the psalm itself that suggest we should read it that way.
122
Verse 8 says that the Lord will keep us forevermore.
123
He will keep us forevermore.
124
So we know that this psalm reaches beyond death, which means that when death happens, and it will, and that's going to be a painful thing,
125
God has not let this psalm fall to the ground.
126
He already says you're going to make it beyond death.
127
So you're going to go through death, and he won't let any evil touch you through death.
128
So he will keep you from all evil.
129
Does not mean he'll keep you from death.
130
It means he will keep you through death so that death will not have its condemning destructive effect.
131
And you will come out into eternal life where this song will have its perfect fulfillment.
132
And there's a confirmation of this, that we're on the right track when we think that way.
133
Because if you read in Revelation 7.16, the description of the age to come, it goes like this.
134
This is, yeah, 716, Revelation.
135
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore.
136
The sun shall not strike them.
137
Now, that's a quote from Psalm 121, verse 6.
138
The sun will not strike you by day.
139
In other words, that verse is going to have its final fulfillment in the age to come,
140
when all evil is done away.
141
Another clue is verses 2 through 4,
142
where the writer combines the sovereignty of God as the maker of heaven and earth with the fact that God never slumbers.
143
In other words, God is so powerful and so attentive around the clock,
144
never goes to sleep, that anything that happens to you has to be according to his sovereign will.
145
Nothing sneaks up on God because he's never asleep, and nothing is too hard for God because he made heaven and earth.
146
So we know that whatever happens to his beloved happens according to his goodness.
147
He wasn't sleeping when this happened.
148
He wasn't weak when this happened.
149
He was good.
150
He was wise.
151
He was strong.
152
So when Noel and I say goodbye,
153
we still do, we do not assume when we quote this psalm that I will not die in a plane crash.
154
We don't assume that.
155
We assume that God will not let our foot slip into unbelief,
156
and we assume that if the plane crashes, he will keep me from destruction and damnation.
157
He will keep my going out of this world, and he will keep my coming in to the presence of Christ.
158
I turned 80 this year, back in January, and when everybody had gone home that day,
159
I sat in my chair and I let it sink in how good God has been to me, to keep me.
160
He has kept me through blood clots and prostate cancer and heart attack and endless close calls and on and on.
161
I was simply overwhelmed as I sat there at the mercy of being kept by the sovereign goodness of God.
162
And so, Tony, you know what I do when I feel something strongly.
163
I write a poem about it.
164
So I'm going to read it.
165
I said, Mike, I'm just closing with this song, this poem that I wrote.
166
It's a sonnet, if that means anything to anybody, but it's titled On Turning 80.
167
It goes like this.
168
What do I have that I did not receive?
169
What breath?
170
What sight?
171
What thought or will?
172
What energy to do or to achieve?
173
What hope?
174
What taste of holiness or thrill?
175
And shall I boast as if a bird should claim to form the wind?
176
An ant to forge the earth?
177
as if I gave myself a parent or a name or brought about my first or second birth?
178
No, it lies not within my fallen power to seize the gift of life or even weep that I cannot,
179
but rather every hour my hope was not myself or soul to keep,
180
but this to bow and joyfully accept that for these 80 years, I have been kept.
181
I love Psalm 121.
182
Yeah, I can see why.
183
Thank you for that, Pastor John.
184
This promise in Psalm 121
185
that the Lord will keep you from all evil is not a magic shield against all the pains of life.
186
There's no guarantee that we will never get sick or be sinned against or experience real loss.
187
There's going to be delayed flights and turbulence in the skies, and there's going to be broken arms and casts on earth.
188
The promise means that God is guarding the very core of who you are,
189
your faith, guarding your faith all the way to the end. So good.
190
That explains why Psalm 121 is one of your four psalms, Pastor John, that you've memorized in order to serve others with, because it's just so useful as a psalm to serve other people.
191
It's a list that also includes Psalm 16, Psalm 46, and Psalm 130.
192
You can see in the APJ book on page 41 for more on those four Psalms and how Pastor John uses them.
193
And obviously, there's always that question that lingers after an episode like this, and that is over whether God will give me more than I can handle.
194
Will God give me more than I can handle?
195
See that in APJ book on pages 365 and 366, because that's very important as well.
196
And of course, once again, please consider joining us by giving a monthly
197
or a one-time gift to help offset the cost of free for thousands just like you.
198
Go to desiringgod.org forward slash give.
199
That's desiringgod.org forward slash give.
200
Much appreciated.
201
Well, Psalm 121 reminds us that what feels like loss is not really loss.
202
We explore that theme again next time when we look at why doing the right thing will never ruin your life.
203
I'm Tony Ranke.
204
We'll see you on Monday.
205
Thank you.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
