Morning. I know I said Wednesday,
we'd begin service at 925. But I forgot to tell Jaylee,
so I didn't think it'd be fair to her. So let's see if we see
who is moving in a shaken. Psalm 33, Psalm 33. There in the back of the church on
the table is a letter from rescue. I took a picture of it and emailed
it out to everybody. It was a We love them, they love us, we
love them more, they love us more, and it just grows, doesn't
it? Love grows, it doesn't diminish. Psalm 33, the Lord gives us instruction
in the first three verses. That ought to be enough. He said so. But we're little
children, ain't we? And we're gonna ask why. Why? He says, do this. We say, why?
Well, he's faithful. He's a good father. He's going
to tell us why. We don't bow immediately and do what he says,
but he's faithful to teach us why. That's better than just him getting
mad and making us. He shows us. In the first three
verses, we're going to see instruction. And then verses four through
five, We see the beginning of the Y, the holy God. Verses 6-9,
the God of creation. Verses 10-11, the God of judgment. Verses 12-19, the God of salvation. Verses 20-22, our prayer to that
Lord. Our response to His ability.
Beautiful. Verses 1-3, the instruction or
the command. It says in Psalm 33, verse 1,
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, for praise is comely for the
upright. The only ones that can truly
rejoice in the Lord are the ones that the Lord's revealed himself
to. And if the Lord's come to you and he's revealed himself
to you, then you're righteous, you're holy, you're complete.
Those that know him, they rejoice in him alone, not in what they
did in their co-efforts and all this other hooptie-haw. They rejoice in him, just him,
and they're righteous, they're holy, they're without spot, there's
no stripe in them, no condemnation will ever come upon them, ever. We praise, we honor, heart worship,
adoration, and that is comely for the upright. For those that
are made anew, that's real beautiful. It's lovely to praise God. When? Always. Always. You ever heard a child
of God just praise Him during real good times? That's nice,
isn't it? What about real bad times? I
know a couple, a husband and wife, they're stricken. She's stricken and he's there
with her, so they both are. horrible things, and they are
the sweetest and most thankful people to be around. That's beautiful. That's comely. That's attractive,
isn't it? I wrote that article in a book.
You want to be pretty? Thank God. My house caught on fire. All my children died. All my
crops failed. All my cattle got run off and
stolen. Praise God. Praise God. That's attractive,
isn't it? The world will think that's real
ugly and be mean to you. To God's people, that's attractive,
lovely, beautiful. That's not only our duty to praise
and worship the Lord. All men are required, all women
are required, all human beings are required to praise and worship
the true and living God. But it's our great honor. It's
a privilege to do so if he enables us. We can't do it by ourselves. We can't do it, but he has to
make us. He has to give us the heart to do it, the power to
do it, the ability to do it, desire to do it, make us willing
in the day of his power. But it's a great honor if we
get to do so. The world don't know him. The
world don't know him. We do. We get to praise Him. That's a privilege. It's an absolute
privilege. Verse 2 says, Praise the Lord
with harp. Sing unto Him with a psaltery, an instrument of
ten strings. Sing unto Him a new song. What
new song? The one He sings to us. New to
us. Play skillfully with a loud noise. It's good to sing to him. I know
there's people against musical instruments and we have a hard
time. You may have learned how to play
the harp in glory. I don't know. It's good to sing to him. David wrote
there in Psalm 92 for the Sabbath day. This is a Psalm for the
Sabbath day. It's titled. It's a good thing
to give thanks unto the Lord. Unto him. To sing praises unto
thy name, O most high, to show forth thy loving kindness in
the morning. Get up early and dwell on his
loving kindness to usward. That's a good thing. And thy
faithfulness every night. From the time we wake up to the
time we go to bed, we ought to sing to him, thank him, honor
him, praise him for absolutely everything. The birds sing to
him. You've heard birds sing? They do it for mating calls and
this and that, right? For our enjoyment, too. He made
them to sing to him. They sang to the Lord. Well,
what about the rocks? The Lord said, they cried, Hosanna. And those Pharisees came and
said, Master, I bet it was harsh how they said it. Master, you
tell these people following you to hush or get too loud. They're
caught as a public disturbance. And he said, if they were to
contain themselves, these rocks right here would cry out to me.
Birds sang to him, rocks sang to him. The stars sang to him.
Don't they? They know what the scriptures
say. The morning star sings to him. We come into this house,
we gather in his name to worship him. That's why we don't honor
mothers on Mother's Day. Won't have it. We come for him.
No fathers ain't handing out roses or cards to fathers on
Father's Day. And we ain't putting on big productions
and shows and kids plays and all that stuff. No, we're here
to worship God. Stop that stuff. That's religion. That's man worship.
Quit that. We're here to worship God. That's
why we're here. Man has a wide assortment of entertainment to
keep him busy. I don't need to keep busy. I
need to keep my eyes on him. Ain't that right? I need to be reminded
of him. I want to show forth his loving
kindness. I want to learn more about that.
This is joyful. It's a joyful time. It's rejoicing.
But it's serious too, isn't it? Pay attention. Hear what the
Lord's saying here. Look there. It says, play skillfully. Play
skillfully. He didn't put that by accident.
I don't think he just stuck it in there because it rhymed. Not
willy-nilly. Not winging it and calling it
faith. Well, Lord, just be with me.
That's fatalistic and you're lazy. You play skillfully. What? That means I'm going to have
to spend time throughout the week working on this. Yeah. It's called total commitment
to the God that saved you. That's reasonable. Isn't that
reasonable service? Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Play skillfully. That's not just speaking to those who play instruments.
You understand that? Don't just practice your guitar
and get your calluses built up, though I ought to, right? We come to service well prepared.
We come prepared to listen. We come asking God to bless us.
We come praying for those that preach for us. Prepared to be
blessed. Having a good hope, a good expectation.
We're in the right place, right time, right uniform. Military
used to say. Why? Because this is serious.
This is serious. You go down to the train station,
the train leaves at 9.30 and it's 9.31. There ain't no train
there. You missed your job or trip to wherever you was going.
This is serious. We're skilled. I don't get up
here and wing it. You know, I feel real guilty. Most people think
preachers work three hours a week. And I feel like that, because
it's labor of love. But I don't wing it. I don't
say, well, I'll just start reading. Hope the Lord gives me something.
No. Let's skillfully. We are earnest,
aren't we? The Lord gives us pants, but
we put the pants on. He feeds us. We bring the fork to our
mouth, don't we? This is joyful, but it's serious. We sang unto
him. Not those around us. Oh, how
often that's me. I'm shy to sing unto him. And well, I didn't hit that note.
It don't matter. It's unto him. I love going to conferences when
there's a whole lot of people singing the same song. I can
sing as loud as I want and I can't hear me. That means there's a
good chance nobody else can hear me either. That's singing unto
him. I'm drowned out. Well, that's a good place to
be. I hope we can sing unto him. Verses four, one through three,
sing, praise, rejoice in him. Verses four through five tells
us why, the holy God. Psalm 33, verse four. For because
the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done in
truth. We get a hold of that. Go learn
what that means. Oh, if we could go learn what
that means. All of his words are right. What
he says is right. People don't know how to live
a good Christian life. Well, here it is. The motive's
him, but if you need instruction, this is everything. It's complete.
I love it. I love it. I love it. It's right.
It's just, it's holy, and it's true. David said in Psalm 119,
therefore I love thy commandments above gold. Yay above fine gold,
therefore I steam all thy precepts. It's beautiful, it's absolutely
beautiful. I steam all thy precepts concerning
all things to be right, and I hate every false way. I turn on the
news, I can't hardly watch it no more. I see what's going on
in this nation, in this country, in mankind all around, and it's
against God. His precepts are wonderful. And then I see something so much
worse than that news. I turn that news off and I go
in the bathroom and there's a mirror in there. I'm the wicked one. I love his
that new man loves his precepts. That new man loves his word.
Let God be true and ever man a liar. Let God be true and this
man a liar. What I think and what I feel
and all that. He's made foolish the wisdom
of the world, hasn't he? God's given us his word. You want to
know what to do is right? Here it is. You might have to
look a long time. The Lord may take his time teaching
you his precepts. The spirit of the law, not the
letter of the law. Why? But here it is. Christ our Savior
on every page. Paul told Timothy, he said, from
a child, you've known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to
make thee wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ
Jesus. That's precious. We're going
to see some sheep here next hour. And how Jacob fed those sheep,
it's just, every word's precious. I'd take that over gold any day
of the week. All his works are done in truth. Everything he
does is right. He doesn't do what's right. What he does is
right. He's holy. What about his truth? Christ
is the truth. Everybody wants the truth, and
that's your truth and their truth. There's a person. He's the truth.
Mankind get a hold of that. All men are without excuse. We
ought to praise him. Everybody ought to worship him, believe
him, believe that he's right. Like Mary, whatever he says,
do it. Doesn't that just make good sense? He is true. All his promises are true and
he will perform it. That's comfort. Everything he
said, it's going to come pass. It's going to happen. It's true.
There's the other side of that sword in it. Every warning that
he has is true and it will come to pass. Verse five says, he loveth righteousness
and judgment. They go hand in hand, don't they?
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. They've said, Psalm
47, Thou lovest righteousness and hatest wickedness. Therefore
God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above
thy fellows. That's our Lord. That's the one that came to save
us. He loved righteousness. He hates wickedness. And that
seed, he's the corn that went to the ground. And all that corn
that comes out of that piece of corn? Dislike him. If He's
put a new creation in you, you love righteousness and you hate
wickedness. We abhor ourselves. That's what Job said, isn't it?
Not that wicked world, but them three fingers coming back at
me. Me. The Father loves His righteous
and His just Son, and we're accepted by being in Him. How sure can
I be? How sure can you be? The Lord
pulls us aside, doesn't He? He gets us one-on-one. He singles
us out. He reveals Himself in His child's
heart, who He is. He shows His love for us. How
can I be sure if He's done that, I'll be accepted in Him forever?
He said so. Ain't that good enough? Right
there it is. He says so, doesn't He? The rain falls on the Justin,
I just said the earth is full of goodness of our Lord. Everybody
hears those birds singing. Everybody sees the rainfall.
The child of God thanks him. Mankind doesn't. This old nature
doesn't thank him. New man does. If it doesn't rain
enough, we call it a drought. We make up words for things,
don't we? If it don't rain enough, we call it a drought, and we
complain about the drought. If it rains, Lord, make it rain. Hit, poured. Days on end. We call that a deluge. We complain
about too much water. Well, this rain needs to quit.
You said there wasn't enough last week, which is it? Where's that come from? You have
to have water to live, don't you? It just falls out of the
sky. Does it run out? No, it evaporates
over here and falls down over there. He makes it rain. You
ought to thank him for it. We know and praise the holy God
and everything he does is perfect and it honors himself and it's
for the good of his people. Drought or deluge, don't make
a difference, does it? Do we do that? All we gotta do is thank
him. What's he require? Thank you,
Lord. Praise him for it. Ought not be hard. Old Ryder
says this. He wrote, to hear the worthless
inhabitants of this earth complain, you would think that all God
does is evil. I'll say it again, I'll say it
slower. To hear, you ever heard? To hear the worthless inhabitants
of this earth complain, you would think that all God does is evil
when everything he does is good. By the operation of his hand,
everything is marked with mercy. That one old brother said, for
the unregenerate man, every day on this earth, on this side of
the grave is a day of mercy. That's a gift. There's no place
where his goodness does not appear. The overflowing kindness of God
fills the earth. Even the iniquities of man do
not prevent his goodness. Isn't that what we read in the
scripture? Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee. Well,
if it goes too far, it can't. The remainder of wrath shalt
thou restrain. I'm not that wise, are you? Do
you know how deep it ought to go? He does, don't he? And our old flesh ought never
murmur or complain, is it? It does. Verse six through nine,
God of creation. We see it all around us. Psalm
33, verse six. The word of the Lord, by the
word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them
by the breath of his mouth. He spoke it. He spoke it. He said, let there be light.
What happened? And there was light. There it
was. He spoke it, didn't he? Who did
that? Who was this Lord we're supposed
to worship and praise and sing to? Rules and reigns, everything's
holy and just and created and everything. He spoke it and there
it was. For by him were all things created. That's Christ. The triune
God, the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit. manifest the whole Godhead
that the universe can't contain him. How is that possible? I
don't know. I'll explain it to us. The universe
can't hold him. It doesn't contain him. He manifests
in the body, the Lord Jesus Christ on this earth, born of a virgin.
By him were all things created that are in heaven, that are
in earth. First thing it goes to, visible and invisible. Whether
they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers,
all things were created by him. and for him, and he's before
all things, and by him all things consist. He spoke it. He willed it, didn't he? Verse
seven says, he gathered the waters of the sea together as a heap,
and he layeth the depths in the storehouses. That just blessed
me so much. You think that Mariana Trench,
that deepest part of the ocean, what's down there? I don't know,
but the Lord's, whatever that is, he's got a warehouse full
of it. It ain't nothing to it. Just put it on the shelf." How
can we do that? I don't know. He can. It's in
the storehouses. That's what he told Job. He said,
do you have the hail, sleet, and rain to stop an army? Do
you know how much I have in the silos put back? You ain't got
a clue, do you? Boy, it just puts it out of our
realms, doesn't it? That's who we're dealing with. Jeremiah
said, fear ye not me? The Lord spoke to him. He said,
don't you fear me, saith the Lord? Will you not tremble at
my presence, which hath placed the sands for the bounds of the
sea by perpetual degree? What holds them waters down there?
Sand does. We'd build a concrete wall, wouldn't
we, or something rubber. He just used the sand. That it
cannot pass, and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet
they cannot prevail. Though they roar, they cannot
pass over it. He can't come fast. Every now and then he lets it
happen just a little bit, don't he? One little city, one little section
of trail lets a tsunami go in just a little bit. Do people
fear him? How about in our worship, say,
thank you, Lord. Oh, we forgot. We've run astray. Look who you
are. Look what we are. Hmm. It says in verse 8, let all the
earth fear the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the
world stand in awe of Him. Stand in awe of Him. Not in awe
of man, stand in awe of Him. Not in awe of self, stand in
awe of Him. What's our nature do? I saw on the news, there's
35 trees knocked down in Balboa Park. It made the news. I've never seen a couple of trees
fall, but it made the news. And they said, we got to do something
to prevent this from happening again. And I laughed out loud.
I couldn't help it. Them trees was four feet across.
They weighed 27,000 pounds. What are you going to do, put
a chain around it? You going to keep that standing? The Lord
wants that tree on the ground. It's going to be on the ground.
He just knocked down 35 trees out of 18,000, they said, that
were down there. The man just bowed down, and
it was in awe of him. Got to see what we can do to
fight him. We fear we honor the Lord who spoke and it was so,
because we can't do that, can we? He said so. Why did that happen? He said so. I say that. You do things because I say so.
You children listen to me. But for him, my word doesn't
mean nothing. His does. Verse nine says, for he spake
and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.
We see that in creation. Why? Because that's what happens
in salvation. The Lord commands salvation. He breathes life out
of His, across His lips, says, live. And it lives. It's the
only way. The only way. He's the God of
judgment, verses 10 through 11. The Lord bringeth the counsel
of the heathen to naught. He maketh the devices of the
people of none effect. All of mankind can gang up on
Him. It ain't gonna do nothing. Human beings make all kinds of
councils and confederacies and coalitions and denominations,
right? And either man, the natural man's
comforted that his peers are doing such a good job, they got
it under control, or the natural man sees these things and they
get afraid. And their thoughts are focused
on that, not on Christ. To be comforted in it or to be
afraid of it, both of it's wrong. Do you know what they're doing?
Who cares? The Lord rules and reigns. Mankind's
scared to death right now, a nuclear war. How many places do you think
you've ever heard of a terrible God? Anybody preaching that in
this nation? His name's terrible, isn't it?
To those outside of Christ. Mankind don't need to worry about
no nuclear weapons. You won't even know it happened.
You need to worry about that one you're going to meet after
that thing goes off. He brings the counsel of the
heathen to nothing. He makes the devices of the people
of none effect. It's all gonna burn anyway, isn't
it? The Lord will handle it. He'll make it to none effect.
You just praise him. What's going on? What about them councils
of confederation? It don't matter. Praise the Lord. We got worship
to take place. Who cares about that stuff? Verse
11, the counsel of the Lord shall stand forever. He had a council.
Did you know that? I wasn't there. Technically we
were, we were in Christ, but the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost got together. And the Father purposed to make a
people just like His darling Son. And His Son said, I'll stand
for them, because they can't stand for themselves. I'll buy
them. They'll be mine. And the Holy Spirit said, yep,
I'll do it. I'll go tell them. You do it, I'll tell them. They
made a council. What He purposed, it shall stand
forever. It can't be undone. Nobody can
stash his sheep out of his Father's hand, can they? Councilor standing
forever. The thoughts of his heart to
all generations. We're told about it. What are
the thoughts of his heart to his people? Not to all generations
of mankind everywhere, but to his people. Said in Jeremiah
29, he said, for I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith
the Lord. What thoughts are that? This one that created the heavens
and earth is all powerful and whatever he says goes forever.
Do you want to know what he thinks about you? If you're in his son,
He says, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected
end, a sure outcome. That's good news. That's real
good news. He tells us here, too. Here in
verse 12 through 19, this is God of salvation. Psalm 33, verse
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom
he hath chosen for his own inheritance." That's who's blessed. Who's blessed? We always look at it from the
home, the local assembly, the church eternal. We see those
patterns, don't we? It's the same thing throughout. He changes,
not. What about the home where God is the Lord? The God is the
Lord in a home. Is that a blessed home? Buddy,
you better believe it. You better believe it is. You
children have every advantage in the face of the earth because
you believe in mother and father. I had that growing up. That's
a blessed home. God's come down there and done a wonderful work
in it. What about a church? There's
a bunch of churches, isn't there? I mean, tons of them. What about
those churches where Christ is proclaimed and praised and rejoiced? whose God is the true Lord. Is
that a blessed place? It sure is, isn't it? What about
our nation, this physical nation? It was loosely built on the word
of the Lord. Well, we have every benefit,
don't we? We got to, at least man's promises, the pursuit of
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, isn't it? Life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Freedom of religion. We get to
meet right now, and nobody's chasing us, and Gestapo ain't
getting us. Physically, we're blessed. We
pity those nations that don't know him. Those nations of Islam,
and tyrants, and Buddhas, or science, or whatever. Don't get
mad at them, feel sorry for them. They don't know God. What about if we didn't have
those things? I hope his cow patty's dried enough, we'll see.
Do we praise God for that? Or if he puts rules and regulations
on us, we gotta go underground and hide. Come up with new ways
to worship. We get our heads chopped off.
Do we thank him for that? Oh, thank you, Lord. Thank you
for sending rules and regulations and putting people over us. Thank
you for that government that's unseen, a dominion of principalities
and powers that you're ruling and reigning over because you're
holy and you do what you want and you know better than I do. Thank
you. I'm too foolish to know any different.
Do we thank him for that? Did I, a couple years ago, Jew? Let's be honest. Let's be honest
not with ourselves, let's be honest with Him. How about that? Blessed is the nation whose God
is the Lord. Who's that? Is that physical
Israel? No, that's spiritual Israel.
The people whom you have chosen for your own inheritance. Those
ring-streaked, speckled, spotted, and brown lambs. Ugly! Unwanted! So in Psalm 12, the
father said to the son, ask of me and I'll give you the heathen
for your inheritance. Good day to be a heathen. Verse
13, the Lord looked from heaven and beholdeth all the sons of
men. We look on the outside, he looks on the heart. From the
place of his habitation, he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the
earth. He fashioneth their hearts alike and consider us all their
works. Oh, God looks on the heart. And we're beyond lacking, aren't
we? We're beyond just being zero. We're in debt. We're inequitable. Therefore, this work of salvation
is complete and total grace. If He gets you alone and strips
you naked and lets you know He's looking on your heart, He knows
the fabric of you. He knows your frame. You say,
if I'm saved, it's completely and 100% by His grace. It's not
by my doing, is it? Paul said, as it's written, there's
none righteous, no, not one. There's none that understandeth.
There's none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of
the way. They are all together become unprofitable. There's
none that doeth good. No, not one. Hmm. But God, huh? Verse 16 says, there's no king
saved by the multitude of an host. A mighty man is not delivered
by much streak. No matter who you are, you could
be a king and you can get, I'm going to get all the armies of
the world behind me. That ain't gonna save you. That ain't gonna
save you. Well, we're going to get, we're
gonna have a prayer circle and we're going to get together till,
and we're going to pray till little Billy comes to church or quits drinking
or whatever. That ain't gonna save you. It ain't gonna work,
is it? What about them strong ones? He'll save you. Verse 17 says, a horse is
a vain thing for safety. Neither shall he deliver any
by his great strength. You can run from God on a fast
horse. Run as fast as you want. You can't get away. They'll cry
to the mountains one day, won't they? They'll try to run from
him. It says in Revelation 6, they'll cry for the rocks and
the mountains and the rocks to fall on us. Hide us from the
face of him that sitteth on the throne from the wrath of the
lamb. A few chapters over, you know what happens? His people
cry, sing, and praise us to that rock. Lord, you put us in the
cleft of the rock. Christ, our solid rock, where
our hope stands. We praise him. Don't we see the
difference? Cry and get us away from him
and get a fast horse. Steal a horse and get run. How fast would you run on a fast
horse until God got on the trail of his sheep and tracked you
down and reeled you in? It's a precious thing, isn't
it? Verse 18 says, Behold. Behold,
we ought to pay attention. Behold, the eye of the Lord is
upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. Every time somebody's fearing
this world or doubting the Lord's mercies, I'd like to yell at
him. Behold! He's got his eye on you. Where do you think we got that
expression? Now, I'm going to give you this. You keep your
eye on it. He says, I have my eye on you. The Lord is upon
them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy. What's
he going to do? To deliver their soul from death and to keep them
alive in famine. In famine. Does that mean, well,
you can't get pasta down at Albertsons. Not that famine. There's a famine
of the word of the Lord. There's a famine of the gospel. There's a famine of the good
news. Well, there couldn't be. There's grocery stores all around,
churches all around, ain't they? God says there's a famine. He
said, but my people, I'll keep him alive. I'll feed him. He'll give us something to drink.
What'd John say? I've never seen a thirsty person
not drink, never seen a hungry person not eat. Yeah. It's soul
food. Good food. I went to Prince and
said, you wanna go to this restaurant? He said, what is it? He said,
it's soul food. And boy, I got so excited. I was gonna get fried
catfish and greens and fried okra and some macaroni and cheese.
My mouth's watering thinking about it. I said, let's go. And
we got down there, and it was S-E-O-U-L, or S-O-E-U. Seoul,
Korea. It was Korean food. I was like,
oh, man. It was still really good. We went there. All the
NCOs went once a week. This is Seoul food for our S-O-U-Ls. You come in here hungry, you'll
leave field, won't you? And is it, well, now you've got
to pick through. There's some good parts. No.
Verse by verse by verse by verse by verse. His word. That's when you get fed, isn't
it? I don't want that poison stuff, I want Him. I want a person,
don't you? What's our response to all that?
We praise Him. Ain't that where we started?
He said praise Him. Well, now I'm going to. If I
wasn't before, I am now. We're gonna thank Him. Verse
20. That's our prayer to our Lord. Our soul waiteth for the
Lord. I'm gonna wait on him. He is
our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in
him because we have trusted in his holy name. He's made us trust
him. He's made us look to him because
he revealed himself to us. We know him. Let thy mercy, O
Lord, be upon us according as we hope in thee. You need mercy? I would suggest, according to
this formula, Put all your hope in him. If all of our hope's
in him, all of his mercies, imagine what kind of storehouse that's
packed in. All of his mercies will be on
us. Don't miss it. Don't put your
hope anywhere else, you won't have any. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be
upon us according as we hope in thee. Amen. Let's pray together. Father, in your infinite wisdom,
as it pleases you and your will, make force all of our hope to
be in our Lord and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord, keep
us as you promised you will. Look on us in your love and kindness
as you promised you will. Father, glorify thy name. Be
with our brethren that aren't here with us in those that you've
put under trial. Make them praise and rejoice
in our Savior, knowing he rules and reigns in all things. Thank
you for this hour, Lord, and forgive us for what we are. Forgive
our unbelief. It's in Christ's name that we
ask it. Amen. All right.
