Resting on the Rock

Let's take our copies of the word of God and I want you to go to Psalm 62. I don't notice to three weeks ago when my wife was reading this, Solomon. She sent it out to all the family to be a an expectation and encouragement in his hat. I really this time that I've had away from the pulpit. I haven't been away from overseeing some things I tried to stay on top of the covert issue in the church family.

Even though I was not preaching, but nevertheless didn't allow myself to dive into hard study, I won't just have a little break from data just will do some light study.

As you may have heard it expressed before pastors have to have seasons when I take off their workboots and just put on their slippers when they open the word of God. Let God speak to them in any way. Pam had failed this and shared it.

I just begin to meditate on it and I thought I would preach that when I go back and so that's what I'm going to do and it Psalm 62 verses five through eight. David is writing to the Lord and he's writing to himself, and he's in a time of turmoil.

He's in a place of deep distress and anxiety is what he says, verse five, my soul, wait in silence for God only for my hope is from him.

He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, I shall not be shaken on God. My salvation and my glory, rest the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God, trust in him at all times so people pour your heart out before him.

God is a refuge for us. I've entitled the unpacking of this text, resting on the rock uses that metaphor for his Lord. Twice in this text, so I thought since he emphasizes that significantly we ought to emphasize it in our exposition of it and he begins in verse five it that simple phrase my soul. Now you're speaking directly to himself, my soul, wait in silence for God only to hear David is talking to himself. It let's go further than that. Here, David is preaching the truth to himself, you know, that is. That's biblical counseling. Did you know that you are your primary biblical counselor, your small group leader is not your your elder is not your preaching pastor, not you are the primary biblical counselor in your life. And so their time to listen to me. There times when the circumstances around us divert our attention and we begin to think on things that are not true and we have to preach to ourselves and get our thinking back in line with the truth will that's what David is doing here this treacherous season this devastating setting. He finds himself in his cost him to grow in fear and anxiety in lose his focus on what is true. So he preaches true to himself.

Joyce is my soul, wait in silence for God only the idea of waiting here's idea of resting in us. The word I would like to use promo.

David is telling us that he himself needs to rest in God in his present circumstances brothers and sisters. If we do not continually reset our rest in him. We will soon wonder from him and wonder from his rest. By the way, are you listening this morning saving if you listening when you come to church on Sunday.

Notice it's reset Sunday. Amen. Your resetting your rest, your resetting your focus your resetting your your faith where it all be because Fox news and all the rest of that stuff is got you off center during the week and so every Sunday is reset Sunday. We have to do that if we don't do that would begin the drift over this way are we begin to drift over that way and begin to place our confidence in the other thing that's idolatry brethren don't allow anything to drag you away from the sure anchor of your soul. Let your anchor see sink deep into the immovable rock of Jesus Christ, the Christ established you in himself, and he provides both the chain of grace and the anchor of faith for your soul during this earthly journey we must continue to work to maintain what he has established.

Are you hearing me.

He established you in him that is to rest in him. Now as we go through this earthly pilgrimage, we fight the good fight to keep getting back up all the raw put our hope and rest and confidence. There we want to maintain what he has already established.

In addition, we remind ourselves that it is a grace gift that we can repent and return to our original rest of you walked into this church house this morning already. I know that many have you walked into this church house this morning and you're not really resting on the rock. My hope is from the word of God and the power of his spirit. You climb back up all their before you won't back out the door and leave here confident joyous sure resting in the rock which is Christ. It gives you the grace that you can do that you can come back to him. I don't mean in the sense of losing your salvation again hit back. I mean in the sense of depending on him and trusting in him like a child of God should is a grace gift that were able to work as a continuation in this journey of sanctification work to abide in that true rest. That is only found in him not to use the book of Hebrews several times because the book of Hebrews is such a powerful parallel to this the Psalm in the truth of the song because in Hebrews, the writer is writing to the Jewish believers trying to purge them off of the old order in which they tried to trust in or put their rest, and he keeps telling them is not just was not. The patriarch is not Moses it's not the moral law is not the ceremonial law. It is Christ you must trusting. He's the one who gives you the true rest from your burden of and I going to be accepted before my God, and from that burden of will God take care of me in these difficult days.

For example, Hebrews 14 and 11 for the one who has entered his rest has himself also rested from his works as God did for me is if you know how God rested on the seven dates when you come to faith in Jesus Christ. You've wrested from any concept of work are looking to your own ability to gain peace or contentment in this life and in this journey. Therefore, verse 11, Hebrews 4.

Therefore, let us be diligent. There is be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall through. Following in the same example of disobedience. Referring to those of the old dispensation who did not see the truth of the promise coming Savior, they look to themselves. They look to works look to the moral law. They look to the ceremonial law, but they didn't look to the promised Savior Jesus Christ. Now the book of Hebrews in this text is probably referring to the initial moment of conversion entering that rest when you're first say, but it includes the continuum that is what you believe on Christ and rest in him. Now your job is by God's grace to continue to believe on him and to continue to rest in him and that's what David's talking about. This is also white opponent. God only rest in God. Again, cannot charge you church this morning.

Cannot charge you in the that the earnestness of Christ and in deep love for you. Rest in Christ, pastor, what will happen here pastor what's going to happen there and what system are going to do what's is virus going to go run rest on the rock in the middle of it. You see, this is a rest that is fit for us. It is a rest that is designed for his children, his church. It's a rest for those whom he calls is called once or his chosen ones. Others who don't believe on Christ. They do not find rest in him. His rest is not fit for them.

They do not have the proper connectors to connect to him and his rest is the new birth that fits us to him so that we do not find rest unless we are drawn near to him.

Listen to this one sure Mark that your redeemed one is that you are always restless when you're not resting in him you drift away from Christ. You know what you find this thing starts bother you more. This event starts traveling you more business you will hear starts giving you anxiety and despair. And what's what's God telling you to and you belong to me.

You're never gonna find contentment in that stuff you will find contentment and me alone now that your mind so you have to reset your rest back on Christ. Now again, the primary emphasis of our text is not the initial point of conversion, but it certainly includes that because if you've never entered the saving rest. You cannot enjoy the sustaining rest of God. Hebrews 311 and 12 reminds us there were not to have an evil, unbelieving heart as he said those with an evil, unbelieving, heartless, of this God says I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest.

Unbelief equals no rest. So remember, we remind ourselves that you either enter his rest now are you will enter his wrath later. No neutral ground in their saving rest is that moment of surrender to Christ when we put all hope in Christ to listen. We put the lesson we put all hope in Christ and rest.

There is not put all hope in Christ. Plus knows not. Plus your justification is that you put all your rest in Christ and you stay right there now for the Jews again. Thinking back over to the New Testament book of Hebrews there being written to two purge them off of resting in Moses in the law on the things of the old order and only put their rest in Christ. One occasion he talks about how Moses was not there. Rest. That's what they were prone to doing that. That is a metaphor for us to try to put our rest and everything in the world and everything around us. We put our rest and her husband. We put our rest and our job would put our rest in our our income we put our rest and our grandchildren which I rest in the scientist and the doctors thank God for all of those that's not where we should put our confidence. That's not where we should rest. These Hebrews who were putting their rest in Moses that was like sleeping on a bed of sharp rocks with a blanket of briars and bramble leisure covering a good place to rest. For example, Hebrews 3, five and six. Now Moses was faithful in all of this house is a servant house is a metaphor. He was faithful in the assignment God gave him what was this assignment to do a certain thing for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later. That's Christ. Moses gave his law and Moses established his truth to all point to Christ and it and Moses and everything Moses taught.

Instead four is if you will, exhausted finished in Jesus Christ.

We bring all of our sin. Therefore, and all of our shortcomings not to Christ, not to the law. I'm income sorry not to Moses, not to the law, but to Christ, and we rest their Jesus said Matthew 1128 come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I'll give you rest. If I give you, God's moral law this morning. By the way, it's true and right now so you put your confidence there.

You know what you're gonna find you will be focusing on that law striving to fulfill that loan. You're gonna be weary and heavy laden, and Jesus. It will that's good because when you get weary and heavy laden nebula look to me and you'll find the real rest for your souls. Christ has granted us divine rest and we should rely upon. Now tell you again this morning for the 10,000th time. The majority of those in our agent really in any age who consider themselves Christians are not because they've not entered his rest there working to please God, the working to obtain a blessing. They're doing this sacrament of that sacrament of this religious ritual are that religious ritual. This ethical renovation their life are that ethical renovation of their life trying to please God and they're not resting in him. That's why Jesus said in Matthew 1129 and 30.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and my burden is light and continues in verse five he says in the second phrase there for my hope is from him. My hope is from him now. The King James uses the word expectation actually could be either word, but I like that concept of hope being our expectation. I hope he and it's not.

I'm expecting certain things about hope in something. How many of us today have our expectations inside out.

How many of us today have our expectations upside down. We expect that there's something we can do there something we can perform their some work again some ritual, some religious exercise.

But when you put the listen to me when you put your hope in your expectation in anything other than Christ, you're actually putting your expectation in you not in God. Now I'm thankful for our scientists and for medical professionals.

By the way we'll a deep gratitude for medical community.

We'll deep gratitude we ought to pray for these dear folks who've been overwhelmed in some way so they tell me there get a handle on it now, but it's been tough. It's been tough. We were thankful to God for that. But our hope is not the hope is not science done. I didn't tell you that I hope is not Joe Biden, and I hope was not Donald Trump. Our hope is not a conservative Supreme Court not I voted for all those things and he was right, I think, to do those things. But that's not my hope I'm not looking to them expecting my salvation expecting a cure for the problems of my life. Hope is in him, you know, it's the humanist and the secularist and the materialist. We have a group in our country today who are ranked materialist. They don't believe in any external objective truth are authority, everything is just what we have down here in the end of life is just stuff in this world and that's where godless socialism and Marxism comes from but were not like the materialist were not like the secularist.

We don't hope in man, we hope in God.

Someone says will pastor I tried to serve the Lord. I tried to be faithful but I failed. Can I ask you something. What did you expect did you expect, you could do it. Did you expect, you can perform it solemnly said, remember our expectation is in God my expect Titleist to make my expectation is that Christ will succeed where I fail. Christ was faithful where I'm unfaithful. Christ is right, just like chips. My expectation is not in me true salvation is the execution that is the putting to death of all expectations from anything or anyone other than Jesus Christ.

The psalmist said I did get my heart back there this morning. Are you anxiety written. Are you troubled, are you losing sleep because you're looking at stuff out there and preach to yourself like David and get your expectations at rest again on the metaphor David uses on the rock that's a great place to rinse the opener a mid-May little bit this morning, go get upset with you. This is too good to sit there and look at me like a calf in Newgate is good stuff. Good stuff for the child of God and weary land that I'm not going to manage my hurt feelings a little bit now again the context of Psalm 62 is David facing a terrible predicament. Most likely an enemy that's threatening him personally and threatened to overrun his kingdom. The parallel for us is that we as believers need to continually be putting to death all of our expectations and anyone and everyone other than Christ in these trying days, particularly in if your week and resting on God, can I remind you that prayer and faith birth. A righteous expectation and God as your prayer time as your time in the word as you to house your time seeking the Lord will the things it troubles me as a pastor when we pull back on our services is I know you guys as I know me. The problem is you leak gets in there.

But then it leaks back out and you need come here on Sunday and get reset again get if you will, anchored in truth again now talking about expectations are three things that I will say right here will pop things up on the screen three things that I want to remember number one and David ineffective saying this to himself. We can rest our trust in the substance of what's to come out what's going to come is going to happen next but I contrast God has ordained something I can trust whatever it is is right.

Secondly, I rest in the not trust the timing of when it comes to knowing the answer is going to come I don't know when the end of this or that or whatever it is you're concerned about today's going to happen, but I know God's timing is perfect.

Number three I know that I will receive all that he's promised so much. He's promised all things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purposes. I know that's going to happen. All things are not good, but God will work them out for the good of his children know I'm going to get that know the history. John said we don't know what were going to be like an eternal staple. We know will be like Christ, perfected, glorified form that he has so many promises.

So let's turn to him. Let's cry out to him. Let's seek him and let's rest in him, knowing that he loves us and he will answer us with the right substance in the right timing and everything he's promised, we will receive no matter the circumstances, all of us as children of God listen to me live in a victorious patient I victorious patient. We don't know what will happen there when I was coming over here.

We wait to see what God does in patients but in victory. This is where David was striving to stay and this is where we all must strive to stay.

We put all our expectation on the rock so will pastor was going to happen when I'm leaving that to the rock I'm leaving that to the rock. He knows what's best. He knows what is right know that.

Look at verse six. He only is my rock and my salvation. This is something of a crescendo verse five, in the sense David Smoot from primarily room lasts only with the truth. David Smoot from primarily struggling with arresting time now primarily resting what's right movement to Mike. He's he's come away each in his trust when he says he only is my rock and salvation. It is a David is saying how can I think of any other confidence but him.

He is the only rock and the only rock is my salvation. Now we can say he's the rock of my salvation. I'm not saying that's incorrect but it's more than that. He's not just the rock of my salvation is to make pleased the raw. Whether I'm saving money or not. He's the raku chosen love for us to become our salvation. What a security. David says we have see if God is your salvation that say, godly, strong salvation and that's what you and I am bracing glory and that those friends of ours who belong to those groups who teach a work salvation will never know their salvation is not a God salvation.

It's a man salvation but ours is a God.

Salvation is our hope in our salvation. Again, the context David is referring primarily to being saved out of his predicament. That includes the fact that he is. I saved one and how he stands before God already think about our salvation from the fact that it's a God strong salvation. God is omniscient he has all wisdom image. My salvation was formed in the great wisdom of God. God is omnipresent. He's everywhere at one time, which means my salvation is secure anywhere and everywhere. I may be for time and eternity.

God is omnipotent, which means that my salvation is secured and helped by the almighty power of God.

David is afraid so he looks to these truths afresh and he preaches them to himself is reminding himself what security we have in God. David looks to God, salvation, and the trials he faces and we should look to God in the trials that we face.

What security I think about it in our salvation were saved from God's wrath, and more than that. He didn't just save us from that wrath. He saved us to become his friend didn't even more than that, he saved us to become his precious child security were also saved from our enemies and they gets more to where David is our enemies are God's enemies God's enemies are our enemies. And God has promised to save his children from those enemies. Isaiah 5417. No weapon that is formed against you will prosper and every tongue that accuses you and judgment you will convey him.

That's powerful.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from me, declares the Lord now continuing on in verse six. Let second phrase, he says he's my stronghold where stronghold could be translated for Trish. I get I like the guy like like the King James word defense. He's my defense, which is what a stronghold is it defends you from those who tried to hurt you. He's my defender.

But listen, he's more than that, he's my defense, he is a faithful God and he is faithful as the Christ.

When Jesus became the Christ course and one very real sense, he always was the Christ, the Christ was the office of ministry ministry. The father gave him to secure the children and Christ was faithful in that office. He is righteous and faithful and will carry out all that is needed for my protection for both time and for eternity sold.

Notice what else David says in verse six, I shall not be shaken. That's not where he was at the beginning of verse five. He's moved forward in his faith shall not be shaken. Medevac lookover verse two and verse two. What does David say last phrase verse two shall not be greatly shaken babies.

I know God's going to help me but I'm still insecure.

Another be greatly shaken but he keeps talking truth to himself. He grows in his strength and his faith, and now he says I will not not brightly.

I will not be shaken. Security he's gained in this all it took was for David to hear the truth about his Lord and Savior and his faith grew to this new plane and I'll remind you again that preaching of the word is essential if you and I are going to reset our rest in him and rest in him in perilous times up.

I often wonder what folks do if they go to these churches that are about 70% pop psychology in about 30% of the Scriptures flashed here and there was a rest in where they get their strings from faithful preaching is essential for the church to find their rest in Christ that he was on verse seven on God my salvation and my glory rationale. The commission debate about just what does this mean all on God my salvation and my glory, rest couple thoughts here that I think these truths are freshly complementary and they always connect together that is first of all, he could be saying any probably is, including this that he glories in God's salvation and God's saving of him isn't that truth always true. A man got a lot of always glories in the God who saves him because part of what David saying, but I think there's more than that David is saying here what ever salvation comes to me in this present distress. Whatever Way, God comes through. I leave that to God. Jesus model that perfectly for us.

When Jesus on two occasions implored the heavenly father and in effect says is there another way, other than the cross and quickly Christ aligns himself with his father's will, because, in the Gospel of John.

After he says, in effect, is there any other way, but the cross and he says but that's what I came down here for. I'm back in line with whatever your will is that's what I want to line up with David is saying my salvation rest in whatever Godson thinks is best.

Is that where you're resting today know about you, but the presidential election didn't turn out the way I want it to turn out.

Now the artist cannot just be honest this morning. I had little trump fatigue. It's hard to have a president who supports basically everything you believe me and from the truth and principle perspective, but he personally has more pride than Satan himself. Maybe is always so antagonistic. This handled himself wrong in so many ways you young men out there. There's some good things to learn from Pres. Trump's tenacity is determination. His courage but you don't have to be the kind of man in his personality and his style that he was so young and old, trump fatigue, but I didn't want Joe Biden world knows what Joe Biden believes he's been everywhere his positions been all over the map is almost 50 years of political work, but I'm tens of my hopes not there. God not bring the church a type of salvation through a ruler and a leader like Joe but that's what David says David know what's going to happen next. This is glad it wasn't listen David was going to happen next. I got to come through but I'm leaving that with the raw rock school take care of another aspect here in verse seven he says on God my salvation and my personal pronoun my glory, rest, rest is implied. The new verse than translators put in for understanding. I think what David is saying here. If this enemy prevails over me if I try and if I cross my kingdom I destroy my monarchy that I could go down in history is a great failure to God's nation Israel. My glory will be trust in the dust or God may somehow come through and I still get the victory here is key. I don't know what I'm resting my honor and my glory in the rock, I go to work I try to stand on the truth of God's word. It causes me difficulties it brings a persecution that may cost me my job. I don't know but I'm leaving that to the raw word glory at the end of this verse can be translated on our dignity.

Whatever dignity or honor I have in the world's eyes. After this predicament is over. That's up to the rock and I'm resting right there? There think any of us have as much to lose in the tribulations were facing. As David did in his David says I'm leaving everything that may come out of this concerning my honor and glory to the rock we can leave whatever comes out of our difficult decision to the rock. Also, the Paul used top. The same thing I should say, but use a different metaphor. Ephesians 613. The last part. He says, and having done everything, to stand in the verse 14 stand therefore verse 13 have been everything to stand in verse 14. Staying or something to keep my stance my position as a honor and a disciple and a committed follower of Jesus Christ season when it's hard when it's in season or when it's out of season. We know for certain. As Jude said in Jude 124 that to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and make you stand in the presence of his glory before flameless and with great joy. By the way that's coming. No matter what they do. That's coming now verse eight were circling the field trust in him at all times so people pour out your heart before him.

God is a refuge for us. Here's the point. David is implying God's heart is set on his children and his children should set their hearts on God.

Remember Jeremiah 31 three what a powerful verse, Jeremiah 31 three the Lord appeared to him from afar saying I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore, I have drawn you with loving kindness. The context is the children of Israel say that God helped us in the past and God was with us in the passing got gained in the past were not seeing anything out about anymore just the bandit does. You may not care about us anymore God speaks of the problems is waving a timeout. I've loved you with an everlasting love. The greatest assurance we have that God will never stop loving us is that God never started loving us. He's always loved his children. God's always had his heart set on his children, so we should set our hearts upon him.

That's what David is saying we just pour out your heart to the Lord. You may think that when you're troubled and when you have anxieties and when you're discouraged and when you're fearful and you start praying and you start crying out to God and somehow got disappointed. Know your porting your product to him that you're on the right track.

Just need to keep or enough truth in there until you start listen to me listen to me until your emotions catch up with the truth of who you are in Christ ladies are you listen to you pastor your emotions are not Lord Jesus is Lord and sometimes like David, we have to talk to our feeling safe harsh feelings believe what God says is true. You quit believing what you think is true and I don't have to do that modeling when it struggles with that than it encouraged that oh great King David struggled the same place, but he worked his way toward resting on the rock. He says in here trust in him at all times, the good and the bad. Verse eight. So this is what the psalmist was learning to do and we could say past tense. Learn to do and this is what we we must learn to do on to note the personal pronouns in the section look at it again.

Look at verse five. My soul waited in silence for God only for my hope is from him. Verse six he only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold shall not be shaken.

Verse seven on God my salvation and my glory, rest.

He is the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God then goes to the plural pronoun did include all the children of God toward your heart before him, for God is rich refuge for us as 12 personal pronoun 510 personal profiles into plural pronouns, and here we have this great emphasis on that. It's personally hours I was in southern Africa, one of our mission trips now traveling in an automobile and we came upon this massive transportation device that was is on the limit just can't describe to you how large and how long the machine was that was being brought down that rule rugged highway to southern Africa because there is nothing but a rule look at how through southern Africa, north to south and it went through town and at best it would go maybe three or 5 miles an hour. It probably had to overcome it recounting. I can't remember exactly had over 100 wheels for those contractions where there was a driver in the back and the driver in the front things so big and so long they would just create through the curves is just an amazing thing. I thought to myself what how much money but it must it have cost to build that machine and how much money must have cost to transport that thing.

It was a great mining machine they would put it down in the mine shafts it to my best understanding. Most of the world's diamonds and gold comes from the mines in the southern region of the continent of Africa.

There must be a lot of wealth in those minds what is that to me if my name's not on the title deed to any of those, title deed is on the time my name is on the title of the to the one who calls himself the raw that's were were anchored. That's hours greater than anything and everything the world could possibly ever give to us having that personal assurance. He's my rock.

He's my confidence. He's my expectation. He's my stronghold he's my salvation. David said Spurgeon says grasping that personally is the honey in the comb is great website. Many ends verse eight with God is a refuge for us.

Pour your heart out to him because he's a refuge for us. It means he's a shelter. I don't know if you've heard about it is a movement in our country the last few years where there providing safe spaces, particularly on college campuses and be safe spaces are designed so that individuals who feel marginalized can go to that safe space where only others who feel marginalized will be and they can go to the safe space and discuss their marginalization read that it's basically the feminist in the LGBT Q and whatever letters they vetted likely movement that started this safe place concept about that. Someone said that 100 years ago are 18 to 25-year-olds were getting off landing craft on the beaches of Normandy, today's 1825-year-olds get the feelings hurt have to have safe place. What kind of week fragile generation are we raising not understand. Maybe schoolteachers could help me that there start to do that in the great schools because you know there might be a an eight-year-old who decides their transgendered or something so they'll need a safe place. This is the kind of bizarre dog chasing the tail vile nonsense that happens when a culture becomes godless and I don't look to the objective truth of Scripture. They look to their own ever fickle, ever-changing emotions and sentiments to find out what's right and wrong, good and bad, but it made it reminded me that we have a safe place.

Welcome change that we have the safe place. We have the rock as our safely's so it would say she sings a counterfeiter. He lies to you about what your problem is just to make you a victim when you're really not the last to you about what safe place is the rock. The route is my safe place was safe place. We have refuge and shelter that we have by the way you want to try you.

You know who the true victims are throughout the ages. The true victims have been the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1519.

If you are of the world, the world would love its own, but because you're not of the world, but I chose you out of the world.

Because of this, the world hates you or John 313. Do not be surprised brethren at the world hate you.

Those are the real victims, but I'll need the federal government to give me a safe space with a service dog and a stepdad about why my safe place is the Jesus Christ, you can't take him from me and he's not somewhere he's everywhere.

Oh, what a refuge. We have one a safe place. We have these omnipresent he's everywhere I go he's on Nick at BIP that he could destroy any that oppose me and he's eternal.

I have him through this life and for all eternity. You see, God is in us, and God is with us and one day the seed of that truth will blossom in the new glorified eternal state, and the entire universe will then be our safely. I refuge. Now we see it through a glass dimly, but I did make it less true then we'll see face to face. See all John Gresham the famed American novelist wrote a book a while back that read it was called the painted house in the book of the painted house. Gresham goes back to his childhood and he says up front. He said a lot of these things are accurate to what actually happened he's 11 Bellis Sunda to make the story. The novel, but he grew up the son of a poor farming family in Arkansas and his father and his father-in-law were together trying to work out the crops and somehow live beneath the next year.

Now they've got the characters in a row.

But the point of what about the sale, get right.
