\u201cI NEVER REALIZED KING DAVID WORRIED ABOUT GOING TO CAMP\u201d<\/span>
\nPsalm 124<\/span>
\nDr. Sidney Leak<\/span>
\nAugust 27, 2023<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

During the summer of 1974, Charles Schulz ran a series of\u00a0Peanuts\u00a0<\/em>cartoons, where all the children filled out applications not to go to summer camp!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sally is working on hers when Charlie Brown comes up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s this you\u2019re filling out?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

S:\u00a0 It\u2019s an application for not going to summer camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re accepted, you can stay home all summer<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0and not go to camp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

C:\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019d probably fail the physical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Sally\u2019s is first to come back approved.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLook big brother!\u201d she exclaims.<\/span><\/p>\n

They accepted my application not to go to camp. How about that?<\/span><\/p>\n

She walks back in the house, reclines in front the the TV and says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBoy and I lucky!\u00a0 Now I can hang around the house all summer and deteriorate!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Linus is also lucks out.\u00a0 When his comes back, he runs to Charlie Brown.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLook!\u201d He says.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy application not to go to camp was accepted\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Boy what a relief!\u00a0 No summer camp!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Then he marches off quoting the words of Psalm 124.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have escaped as a bird<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0from the snare of the fowler.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The snare is broken.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And we have escaped!\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And Charlie Brown says:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI never realized that King David worried about going to camp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Linus\u2019 words are near the end of our lesson of the morning\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

which begins like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHad not the Lord been on our side<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When men rose up against us,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They would have swallowed us up alive;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

when their anger was kindled against us.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Traditionally attributed to King David,<\/span><\/p>\n

these words describe a narrow escape\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

from situation seemingly more desperate<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0than being shipped off to summer camp.<\/span><\/p>\n

The speaker of these words was part of a people whose destination was<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0centered in God, shaped by God.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, it is not surprising, that, after a such narrow escape<\/span><\/p>\n

these folks voiced their astonishment & gratitude<\/span><\/p>\n

for the way out God provided.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israel understood much of its life as a conflict<\/span><\/p>\n

with a very powerful enemy.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are not sure who this particular enemy was \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

except to say it must have been a very formidable adversary<\/span><\/p>\n

consisting of everything in the world<\/span><\/p>\n

hostile to God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such an enemy respects no boundary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone can be a victim.<\/span><\/p>\n

It reminds me of an old Scottish prayer that asks for<\/span><\/p>\n

divine protection this way:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom ghoulies and ghosties<\/span><\/p>\n

and long-legged beasties<\/span><\/p>\n

and things that go bump in the night<\/span><\/p>\n

Good Lord deliver us!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

We have all known such circumstances\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At one time or another, we have cried out like the Psalmist:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSave me, Lord, for the waters are up to my neck!\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And it is no secret that such circumstances affect the community of faith<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, as John Leith observed<\/span><\/p>\n

we have moved from the parish church in Christendom\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

in a churched society<\/span><\/p>\n

To the highly voluntary church in a pluralistic,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

mobile<\/span><\/p>\n

unchurched society<\/span><\/p>\n

dominated by mass- media<\/span><\/p>\n

In the words of Martin Marty, we have gone from a society\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

where all the props supported the church<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0to a society where none of the props support the church.<\/span><\/p>\n

Promoters of church development and transformation<\/span><\/p>\n

urge us toward the adoption of programs,<\/span><\/p>\n

gimmicks and techniques<\/span><\/p>\n

just to keep the doors open.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, whatever the situation, whatever the challenge<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0this Psalm provides us two basic theological assertions.<\/span><\/p>\n

That can help us face the challenges posed by modern culture<\/span><\/p>\n

with poise, dignity, with even a sense serenity<\/span><\/p>\n

keeping God as our destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note with me the first thing this Psalm tells us is :<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. GOD IS FOR US AND NOT AGAINST US.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Hebrew translation of the first two verses reads this way:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u201cIf the Lord had not been for us,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    they would have swallowed us up alive<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \u2026the flood would have swept us away.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    How is God for us?<\/span><\/p>\n

    According to Shirley Guthrie, two ways.\u00a0 First, God\u2019s love is:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Initiating<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      God does not wait for you & me\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      to come to him asking for his love and acceptance.<\/span><\/p>\n

      God does not wait for us to ask him to be loving and faithful.<\/span><\/p>\n

      God does not wait until we are good enough<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u2026until we have done all we can do to help ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

      God comes to us to help us, oftentimes,\u00a0 when we\u00a0cannot<\/em>\u00a0help ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Before we make a move toward God<\/span><\/p>\n

      God moves toward us.<\/span><\/p>\n

      God\u2019s love is initiating.\u00a0 And God\u2019s love is\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Faithful<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        God\u2019s love is something we never\u00a0ever\u00a0<\/em>have to worry\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        about God taking back.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Even when we have not been faithful to God, God remains faithful to us.<\/span><\/p>\n

        How does the prophet Isaiah say it?<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \u201cWhen you pass through the waters,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        I shall be with you;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        And through the rivers<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        They shall not overwhelm you;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        When you walk through fire,<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        You shall not be burned<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        And the flame shall not consume you.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Is. 43:2 RSV<\/sub><\/span><\/p>\n

        Paul put it very plainly to\u00a0 young Timothy<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \u201cIf we are faithless, he remains faithful<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        For he cannot deny himself.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        Because as he told the Romans:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201c \u2026 the gifts and call of God are irrevocable.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        And if God is for us as individuals, why not the church?<\/span><\/p>\n

        Now,\u00a0in society today, in the face of so much opposition<\/span><\/p>\n

        the church indeed faces challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

        But in the face of such challenges, the words of Hans Kung give us hope<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \u201cWhen the church forgets that it is something provisional and temporary<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0when it makes too many demands on itself, it grows tired and weak\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        and will fail because it has no future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        But when the church knows that its goal is not in itself\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u2026when it realizes its goal can only be found in the kingdom of God,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        that\u00a0<\/em>church can survive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        It does not need to prove that it is something definitive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        It does not need to prove itself an abiding city.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        When shaken by doubt, when hindered by obstacles,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        it doesn\u2019t need to be surprised.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Christ promised the church the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        When you and I and the church are up against uneven competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

        God is powerful enough to vanquish that competition,<\/span><\/p>\n

        & make life possible in a world that appears<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u00a0fundamentally impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201cIf God is for us,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Paul asked the Romans,\u00a0\u201cwho can be against us?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

        He who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

        Will he not also give us all things with him?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

        God is for us and not against us.\u00a0 Andy Edington has observed:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \u201c<\/em>Understanding God is impossible<\/span><\/p>\n

        And there is no way of explaining or anticipating his mercy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \u2026except to know and believe God is for us,not against us, first.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        So what do we need to do?\u00a0 Second:<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. TRUST GOD IN ALL THINGS.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          It is no accident that the last words in the Psalm go like this:<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Our help is in the name of the Lord<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          Who made heaven and earth.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

          That means God is not only for us but\u00a0over\u00a0<\/em>us.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Shirley Guthrie, mentioned earlier\u00a0 has said\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          we cannot have Jesus as savior for us\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          without having him as Lord over us.<\/span><\/p>\n

          So why not trust him?<\/span><\/p>\n

          True, we have to live\u00a0in<\/strong>\u00a0the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

          But we do not have to take things like reason, technology, progress,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          or even change as the last word.<\/span><\/p>\n

          It is like our Declaration of Faith tells us:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \u201cOur confidence and hope for ourselves and for other people<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

          do not rest in the powers and achievements of this world<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

          but in the coming and hidden presence\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

          of Christ\u2019s kingdom.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

          So what do we need to do?<\/span><\/p>\n

          Trust God in all things.<\/span><\/p>\n

          And that even means trusting God with the life of the church.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Think a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Who called the church into being?<\/span><\/p>\n

          We didn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

          God did.<\/span><\/p>\n

          So what does trusting God with the life of the church look like.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Simply stick with the practices of church life\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          that are clearly stated\u00a0 in the New Testament,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          The simplicity of preaching<\/span><\/p>\n

          The simplicity of the worship & the sacraments<\/span><\/p>\n

          And the simplicity of church fellowship.<\/span><\/p>\n

          What happens when we do these things?<\/span><\/p>\n

          According to Acts 2, when the people devoted themselves to these things:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \u201cThe Lord added to their number day by day\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Since God is for us and over us,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          the bottom line is to trust\u00a0him\u00a0<\/em>in all things.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Benjamin Studdert Kennedy\u2019s translation of the old 16th<\/sup>\u00a0century hymn<\/span><\/p>\n

          says it all:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \u201cWho trusts in God, a strong abode<\/span><\/p>\n

          In heaven and earth possesses<\/span><\/p>\n

          Who looks in love to Christ above,<\/span><\/p>\n

          No fear his heart oppresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

          In Thee alone dear Lord, we own<\/span><\/p>\n

          Sweet hope and aspiration;<\/span><\/p>\n

          Our shield from foes, our balm for woes<\/span><\/p>\n

          Our great and sure salvation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

          In Jesus Christ, God is our shield from foes, our balm for woes<\/span><\/p>\n

          the presence and power of God for us<\/span><\/p>\n

          Over us. &, best of all, with us\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          as Redeemer\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

          In Jesus\u2019 name,\u00a0 Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n
