Let it be, let it be. O Beloved,
how sweet to pray in Thy presence. Pray in Thy presence. O Beloved, how sweet to pray
in Thy presence. Alright, open your Bibles to
the first Psalm, Psalm 1. Psalm 1. Now, there is no more
precious, blessed, comforting, encouraging, edifying, consoling,
Christ-exalting, Christ-revealing book in God's Bible than the
psalm. The psalm. I exhort you, encourage
you to constantly read the psalm, to study the psalm. If you want a place to turn to,
You don't know where to read in the scriptures. Often we have
a hard time knowing where to go, how to read the scriptures.
You can always turn to the Psalms and find something, always. The scripture says, as face answereth
to face in the water, face answereth to face in the water, so doth
the heart of man to the heart of man. And David is a man after
God's own heart. And he speaks the things that
are in the heart of all of God's people. You can find something
in the Psalms. The Psalms are just some of my
favorite, some of my favorite reading in the Psalms. And some
of those Psalms, I have some favorites among the Psalms. Psalm
2. This morning, Psalm 8. How excellent is thy name, O
Lord of hosts. Psalm 19, the heavens declare
the glory of the Lord, the firmament showeth his handiwork. Psalm
23, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 24, the
earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Psalm 27, one thing
have I desired of the Lord, and that will I seek after. Psalm 37, delight thyself in
the Lord, commit thy way unto him. Psalm 51, have mercy on
me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness. And on and on it goes. Psalm 71, I'll make mention of
thy righteousness and thine only. Psalm 84, how amiable are thy
tabernacles, O Lord of hosts. Psalm 103, blessed, blessed,
bless the Lord, O my soul. All that is within me, bless
his holy name. Like a father pities his children.
On and on and on. Psalm 119. Psalm 145. Just keep
going. But the first psalm, the first
psalm, I believe is recorded by God, placed first for a reason. I know it is. I know it is. God put it here first. And I
believe this psalm speaks more clearly, or as clearly, of Christ
than any other psalm. Since Christ is the Alpha, or
the First, then he must be the theme of the first psalm. Right? All right. This is the psalm
of the blessed man. And the beauty of this psalm
is this. The beauty of this psalm is that
as He is, so are we. We are blessed in Him. That's
what Ephesians 1, I believe, verse 3 said, Blessed be the
Lord God who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings
in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So Christ is this blessed
man. This speaks of Christ, and this
speaks of God's people who are blessed in Christ. They are like
Christ. They are Christlike. Okay, let's look at it. Psalm
1, just briefly. by faith. Christ walked with
God. Christ walked for me. Christ's
feet were in the paths of righteousness. Christ's feet were nailed to
the cross for me. Christ walked not in the counsel
of the ungodly, for he is the Son of God, holy. And I, it speaks
of the blessed man in Christ, I want to walk as he Don't you? I want to walk by faith as he
walked. I want to walk with God as he
walked. I want my steps ordered in God's
Word and no iniquity to have dominion over me. Blessed is
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. I don't
know about, well, I do know about most of you. that you're like
me, you disdain and utterly despise the counsel or the wisdom of
this world. Everything about it is despicable. Is that you? Are you like David
who said, was it Psalm 119, 128, I esteem all thy precepts concerning
all things to be right, and I hate every other falsehood? I only
esteem what God says in this book as right and true. And everything,
man, all his counsels, all his so-called wisdom, the direction
that this world is headed, I detest it. I despise it. I fear for
my daughter walking in it. I don't want to go the way they're headed. Set my feet in paths
of righteousness. for thy name's sake. Look at
the next thing. Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners. Jesus Christ was holy, harmless,
undefiled, the scripture says, separate from sinners. Scripture
says, in him is no sin. Now, he walked with sinners. Didn't he? Sure he did. They
were his companions. He stood with. He stood as the
friend of sinners. He stood as the surety for sinners. Yet, their ways were not his
ways. And that's the way I want to
be. Don't you? I want to be a friend to men.
I don't want to appear to be self-righteous. I don't want
to be holier-than-thou, you know, this uppity, snobbish, sickening,
self-righteous, super-pious Christian, you know, but I don't want this world to rub
off on me. I don't want it to influence
me. I don't want to walk the way it walks. And Christ is the
way I want to travel. And he's the one I want to travel
with. How about you? And I stand in him. He's the
one I want to stand on and in, in the judgment day. Blessed
is the man who does not sit, look at the last line, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful. Christ sat and taught in the
seat of the master on the mountain. Remember that? He sat down and
taught them there. Christ sits now at the right
hand of the majesty on high, and I am seated with him. And
I want to sit at his feet. I want to sit with his disciples. I want to sit at his table, like
my Did you notice the progression there? It says, Blessed is the
man that walketh not, standeth not, nor sitteth. Walking, standing,
sitting. I want to walk with Christ and
walk as Christ walked. I want to stand by faith in Him
and stand firm for Him. I want to sit with Him in glory. Don't you? I want to be blessed. I want to be this blessed man.
I want to be blessed supremely in Christ, for he is the one
all who are blessed are blessed in." Look at verse 2. Blessed
is this man whose delight is in the law of the Lord. His delight
is in the law of the Lord. Christ said this as a child,
as a twelve-year-old boy. He said, I must be about my Father's
business. Wherewithal shall a young man
cleanse his way? a young woman, I wish they were interested. I'm afraid our young people are
too interested in going with the flow, going the way of this
world. But wherewithal, the Scripture
says, shall a young man cleanse his way, or a young woman cleanse
their way, by taking heed according to God's word. Blessed, blessed
supremely, blessed supremely. Christ as
a 12-year-old boy, I must be about my Father's business. He
said later on, my meat and my drink is to do the will of the
Heavenly Father. He said in another place when
the disciples who were so concerned about eating and drinking, just
like We are. They said, Lord, eat. He said,
I'm eating. He said, I'm eating. I have meat
to eat that you know not thereof. I want to know it. Don't you?
Wouldn't that be a blessing for your delight to be in the law
of the Lord? To desire the sincere milk of
the Word? To taste the meat? To taste the
meat, the scripture says, suck honey out of the rock. To delight
in God's word, like David said, I delight in thy word, is one
that has found great spoil, more than gold or silver. People would much, much rather,
if given the option to win the lottery or win Christ, hands
down would they win the lottery. I want to win Christ and be found
in Him. Look over at Psalm 37 quickly. Psalm 37, verse 4. It goes, What
would it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his
soul? Well, Psalm 37, verse 4, look
at this. You say, Preacher, how can this
be? How can these things be? Well, look at it. It says here
in Psalm 37, for delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall
give thee the desires of thine heart. Paul said in Colossians, set
your affection on things above. I like that song we sing. I am
resolved no longer to linger, charmed by this world's delights. Things that are higher, things
that are nobler, these have allured my sight. Set your affection
on things above." Can a person do that? He wouldn't tell us
to do it if it could not be done. Delight thyself in the Lord,
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Make him your
delight. And his word will be a delight,
truly. Ask him, Lord, give me a desire. He loves to grant that request. Open your mouth, he said, I love
to fill it. I'll fill it. Well, read on,
back in our text. His delight is in the law of
the Lord. And our Lord, oh, how he delighted in the law of the
Lord, didn't he? Christ, in his law, look at it, verse 2. In
his law doth he meditate day and night. Jesus Christ slept
very little. Oh, he wasn't a sluggard and
a slothful man lying on his bed. He slept very little. Before
he went to the cross, he went about three days without sleep. But he slept very little, rising
a great while before day. I believe it's speaking of Christ
when David said, I'll arise at midnight and give thanks unto
thee. He slept very little. He arose early. He prayed much. Because he must fulfill. He said, I must fulfill the righteousness
of God. Every jot and tittle of the law
must be fulfilled. He had to meditate. Every point
had to be kept for us. He had to know it. backwards
and forward. Every jot and tittle, every precept,
every command, he had to know it perfectly and fulfill it perfectly
in thought, deed, and word for us. Right? It shall be perfect. To offend in one point, guilty
at all, he had to know the law. So he meditated in it day and
night. But not only that, but it was
his delight. It was his delight. He meditated. The Word was hid
in his heart. He was the Word, wasn't he? And I want the same thing. I
want God's Word. Tell me if this is so with you.
I want God's Word to be in my heart. I want His Word to come
to mind at all times. I want to wake up thinking a
little higher than the baser thoughts that I tend to think.
Don't you? And I want to go to bed thankful,
thinking on the day's past blessing. Don't you? Oh, my. Blessed is that man. Blessed is that woman who meditates. Look at verse 3. He shall be
like a tree planted by the rivers of water. Is there any doubt
now who this is speaking of? Is there any doubt who this psalm
speaks of? He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. Christ is that tree of life. He is that tree planted by the
rivers of water. Christ is the river from whom all blessings flow. Look over at Revelation 22. Revelation
22, quickly. Christ is the water. He's a tree. He's the water. He's the river. Revelation 22, this is a blessed
portion of Scripture, speaks of a river, speaks of a tree,
speaks of His leaf. Revelation 22. You got it? Verse 1, He showed me a pure
river of water of life. Now, what could that be? Christ
said, I am the water of life. Clear as crystal. Pure. proceeding out of the throne
of God and of the Lamb, in the midst of the street of it, and
on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which
bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were
for the healing of the nations. That's Christ, isn't it? He is
that tree of life. He is that planted tree. God is the husbandman who planted
him. Christ is, as it were, that corn
of wheat that fell in the ground. It was planted, it was buried,
but rose again and is now planted at the right hand of the majesty
on high, seated on the throne. And his death brought forth much
fruit, the healing of a people from every nation. Look back
at the text. And he bringeth forth his fruit
in his season. His fruit in his season. That's
Christ, isn't it? His fruit. We are the fruit of
his doing. In due season, in due time, God
sent forth his Son to bear fruit. His leaf, look at it, his leaf
also shall not wither. What Christ does shall be forever. Whom he saves shall be saved.
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Scripture says the pleasure
of the Lord shall prosper. The pleasure of the Lord prospered
in his hand. This is Christ. No doubt about
it. This speaks of the Lord Jesus
Christ. And now, I want to be like a
tree. planted. I want to be like Job. But you know what they said about
Job? God said this about Job. When
He was upbraiding Job's friends, He said, Why are you troubling
Job when the root of the matter is in him? The root of the matter
is in Job. You all look good. He said, you
all look like you're bearing some fruit and some leaves, It's
the root that matters, the root of the matter. Get to the root
of the matter. I want the root of the matter
to be in me, don't you? I want to be rooted, rooted. You know, the more something,
the more a tree, the larger and farther, far-reaching, more far-reaching
the roots are of a tree, the more it will stand on, no matter
what wind blows. the root of the matter. Do you
know what the root of the matter is in the soul of a man? We looked
at the foundation this morning, didn't we? That's the root of
the matter. It's to be grounded and settled
in Christ the truth, in the gospel. It's to lay hold on Him. Those roots just run down in
the ground and just lay hold on that ground. Grounded. It
says this tree is planted by the river of water, rivers
of water. There, even on the old pig river
down there where I live, there's some huge trees, some virgin
timber, some big beech tree. Beech trees are some of my favorite
trees. There's one, that one beech,
you know, down by the, that thing is huge. Two men can't get their
arms around that one tree. No telling how long it's been
there. Right up from it, there are some big hemlocks. Evergreen.
That's a better illustration. Evergreen. And those trees are
absolutely right beside the water. Their roots must surely go right
down under that riverbed. They have to. And, Henry, they've
been there a long time. And they'll probably be there
when I'm gone. They're planted. And they're growing. And that
one is evergreen. Why? Right by a river. You know what the key to a good
garden is? I found this out the hard way.
You think of a man that knows something about trying to garden
for himself. Water. The more water you pour
to her, buddy, the more she'll grow. Flowers. Right, Nancy? Keep watering them. They'll grow.
Do you want to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord?
This is the water of life. This is the fountain. Be rooted
and grounded right here where Christ is set forth. And you'll
grow, buddy. And you'll be evergreen. And
your leaf, right there it says, shall not wither. Oh, all we
like, all man is like grass, the flower of the grass, the
flower of the field. It fades away. Not if you're
in Christ, you won't fade away. You'll blossom. You'll blossom
if you're in Christ. Yes, you will. Whatsoever he
doeth shall prosper. Oh, you might not win the lottery. You won't win the lottery. Count
on it, people. Quit putting your money, if you're
a believer, quit putting your money in that. You're not going
to win it. God won't allow it. You won't
allow it. I'm telling you the truth. Save
your money. Send it to the missionary. God's
not going to let you win it. Why? Because another man after
God's own heart said, Keep me from riches, lest I forget thee.
You win the lottery, you're out of here. Guarantee it. How heartless shall they that
have riches enter the kingdom of heaven? We can't handle it. We can't handle it. Have you
ever run into a bunch of money? What did you think about doing? Huh? Spending that money. So forget it. Send your dollar
to Walter Gruber. He's not going to let you prosper
in that sense. As a matter of fact, he might
take everything away from you. But oh, if you have Christ. Huh? If Ellen Frehley can answer us
now, what does she have? Huh? Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
That means spiritual prosperity. Spiritual prosperity. That's
how I want to prosper. Don't you? I have everything
that I need. Don't you? I have a nice enough
home and car and so forth. I have all the food. My freezer
is full. Goodness gracious. What more
could we want? This suit is doing me just fine. I don't need another one. Oh,
but I sure am poor toward God and the things of God. I want
to be rich, don't you? Huh? I want to prosper that way. Well, and I don't want to fade
as a leaf. Well, here, now listen, did you
see all this, people? If this is your desire to be
a blessed man, a blessed woman, did you see this, Deborah? Betty,
did you see this, all this? Here is the counsel from our
Lord. Walk with Christ. Want to be
blessed? Want to be a blessed man or woman? Walk with Christ.
Not the counsel of the world. Don't heed it. Don't walk with
it. Don't listen to it. Don't listen to it. Not only
quit putting your money in the lottery, quit listening to the
6 o'clock news. That's my counsel. Stand, walk. With Christ, not the counsel
of the world, stand on the promises, not in the way sinners are headed. Stand on the promises. Nobody
else believes them. You stand fast. You'll be blessed. God has never lied. He can't
lie. This world is nothing but liars.
They'll tell you tomorrow that this is the truth. No, it's not. It's a lie. Time will reveal
it. Right? Sit at his feet. Sit. Walk, stand, sit at his
feet. Don't be like the scornful. I
used to be one of these skeptics and one of these cynics, one
of these scornfuls, you know, laughing at this old gospel,
you know. I remember coming and sitting in on the gospel preaching
and thinking, I'm above this. Boy, let me tell you now, I am
well beneath this. I'm not worthy to sit on this,
but this is where I sit. We saw this morning, God's going
to laugh this world to scorn. This world that scorns this old-fashioned,
archaic religion, bloody religion, you know, God's going to be the
one scorning them someday, won't He? So you sit in the right chair. at His feet. Delight thyself
in His Word. Delight thyself. Oh, I know we
love these magazines and these novels and this and that and
the other. Delight yourself in His Word.
You want to be a blessed man? Blessed woman? Delight yourself
in His Word. Meditate on it. And that means
more than a casual glance, doesn't it? You don't just, when you
meditate on something, you don't just, oh, that's good. You study
it. You think about it. Can you think
of anybody, any believer you'd like to be like perhaps? Somebody
who's wise in the things of God and who seems to have real discernment
and seems to have scriptural recall and seems to have, just
be a blessed man or a blessed woman? Can you think of a woman,
a mature, believing woman that you'd like to have that maturity
and that solidity and that firm, can you think? You'll find her
or him buried in the scriptures. You'll find him. That's where
you'll find him. Count on it. Meditate. And the promise
is you'll be planted. You'll be planted. You shall
not wither. Some trial, fiery trial comes
along. You won't wither. It'll just
take away the dross and confirm the gospel. And you'll prosper. Look at the contrast here. Look
at these last three verses in contrast. I've taken too long,
I'm sorry. No, I'm not sorry. This has been
very good. Look at verse 4. The ungodly
are not so. Now, who's the ungodly? Well,
it's that old hell-raising, beer-drinking, bar-jumping, you know, biker-chewing,
kissing woman? Not necessarily. They are, yes. That man is, no doubt. He didn't
want to have anything to do with God, that's for sure. But the
ungodly can be a man sitting in a church service. As a matter of fact, I believe that's
where most of them are. It's a man who doesn't know the
true and living God. It's a woman who doesn't know
the true and living Christ, who's full of self-righteousness. It's
a man or woman who is without true faith. It's a man or woman
without hope, without love for the truth. Oh, they love their
religion. They love themselves. And they
love their denomination, but not the truth. Ungodly. Wicked. Our Lord called them
workers of iniquity, didn't he? Didn't he? Those fellows that
stand before him in the judgment and said they preached in his
name, he said, you're a worker of iniquity. Ungodly. He said,
I never knew you, you were without a God, ungodly. Look at it, he
says, now this is not only those, but it's also those, it's also
anybody who has no interest in the things of God, okay? Anybody
who has no interest in the things of God is ungodly. They don't
have to be outwardly immoral, but they are inwardly. But they're
without God, so they're ungodly. And he says here, the ungodly
are not so, or that is, are not like the blessed man. They're
not planted. They won't be planted. Their
delight's not in the law of the Lord. They don't meditate in
it. They stand in the way of sinners. They walk in the counsel
of the ungodly. They sit in the seat of the scornful. They're
not planted. He says, they're like a chaff which the wind drives
away. See if this isn't so. That those
who are not grounded and settled on the truth are blown about
with every wind of doctrine. They'll believe anything. Those
who are not grounded and settled in this word will be carried
away with any old fool preacher that comes along, won't they?
He can be the absolutely most ridiculous fellow ever to come
along. I thought Bob Tilton was bad. Do you remember old Bob?
Rick, do you remember Bob? How could you forget Bob? Well,
Benny Hinn made us forget him. They followed Bob, and if Bob's
gone, who's next? Benny! We'll follow Benny. Might
as well be Benny Hiltz. Not that I've ever seen that
fella, but you have. Might as well be, they'll
follow him, won't they? People will fall for any old
dude that comes along, like everywhere in the doctrine. Every fool,
Tom, Dick, and Harriet comes along, no matter what it is.
New thing. If they're not grabbed and settled
in the truth, they'll fall. for that. They'll be driven away. The ungodly, look at verse 5,
the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment. Nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous. The ungodly shall not stand in
the judgment. They'll be cast out. While believers are standing,
singing, the ungodly shall not stand in the congregation of
the righteous. Listen to this. Sinners, it says, nor sinners
in a congregation of the righteous. Now, God only saves sinners. Okay? God only saves sinners. And they'll be sinners all the
days of their life on this earth. They know that. They're nothing
but sinners. All the days of their life on
this earth. But, now, wait a minute. Once
they leave this place here, they're not sinners anymore. Is that
right? They're as holy and righteous
as God's Son. They're going to dwell in a place
wherein dwelleth righteousness. And nothing will make a lie.
Nothing. So defile it. No sin allowed in God's presence. And no sinners. Now listen. If
you're a sinner now, You'll be righteous then. And you'll stand with Christ.
In Christ. If you ain't no sinner now, you'll
stand then as a sinner. See that? See that, John? If
you stand now as a convicted, guilty, helpless, mercy-seeking
sinner now, you'll be righteous then. But if you stand here in
your own righteousness and goodness, and you're no sinner, and don't
need mercy, and don't need God, you'll stand as a sinner before
God and the judgment. And to be cast out. And you won't
stand in the congregation of the righteous. The congregation up there are
doing what we're doing here. And anybody that doesn't like
what's going on here sure won't like it there. The congregation
up in glory is singing. That's what they're doing. They're
singing. Day and night. They're listening
to preaching. And oh, what preaching they're
hearing. There's one preacher. That prophet. And oh, they never
grow tired, day and night, of hearing him speak and preach. They're looking at the Word.
They're worshiping, day and night, and never growing tired of it.
You reckon somebody down here that doesn't like it here would
be comfortable there? No way. No way. So examine your own heart. Examine your own heart. Well,
the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous. Verse 6. The Lord
knoweth the way of the righteous. How does he know? Well, he knoweth
them that are his. The foundation standeth assured.
The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous because he put them
in the way. He became the way for them. But the way of the
ungodly, those without God, without hope, without Christ, Oh, to
be a blessed man. Oh, for you to be a blessed man,
a blessed woman. Well, this is where you may be
blessed. Take heed according to his word. Wherewithal shall a young man
or old man, for that matter, cleanse his way by taking heed
according to God's word. Start in Psalm 1. A few more men will come up front
here, the men that are going to pass out the large table. Come up here please. I want you to, did everybody get
one of these song sheets? Everybody, one of these song
sheets? Raise your hand if you did not get
one of those song sheets. This is a great hymn written
by William Gadsby. In a moment, we're going to partake
of the Lord's table. Now, this is the Lord's table. It's not our table. It's not
this church's table. Now, you remember me telling
you a story about that preacher one time, that believer, preacher,
attending a service somewhere, and they were passing out the
Lord's Table, and they came to him and withdrew it from him. He said, You can't take up our
table. That goes on a lot. You know
that? That goes on. They call it closed communion,
meaning that you must be a member of that local assembly to take
part in the Lord's table. Well, that preacher wisely said
to that deacon or whoever it was that withheld the table from
him, he said, fine, I don't want your table. I want to partake
of the Lord's table. So this is the Lord. Who may partake of this table?
Who may partake of this table? A member of the body of Christ.
a member of Christ's church, a believer on the Lord Jesus
Christ, one who believes, knows, and believes this gospel that
we've been preaching, that you've been hearing. This gospel. One
who has been baptized, confessing this Christ. That's the only
condition, is that you be baptized. Because this is not a confession
of faith, this is communion. This is not some public display
of our faith and our religiosity or our holiness. No, this is
communion. This is where a believer just
sits and meditates on that cup in his hand and that bread in
her hand. And they think about what the
Lord has done for them. Now, you can't think about or
remember or meditate on someone you don't know. You can't appreciate
and love somebody you don't know. You don't commune with someone
you haven't confessed. You've got to confess him. All
right? Who may partake of this table? Every believer. Every
baptized believer. All right? If the children, the
scripture says, if the children ask, what do you mean by this
table? Well, there's nothing to this. This is just wine. We've used wine because it's
pure. Wine does not get corrupt. With
age, it's symbolic of the blood of Christ. We use bread. This is just bread. It's just
bread. He's freaking her. Oh, he took
it. He's already done. It's just bread. There's nothing to it, right? But what we're doing is we're doing
this. These are symbols. This is the
only symbol that the Lord gave us to use in our services, in
our worship services. As much goes on out in religion
as symbols that tell us to sprinkle water and just go through all
these things, you know. The Lord didn't ordain any of
that, but this and this only. And these are very simple elements,
aren't they? Bread and wine. Bread and wine. And all they do is represent
the broken body, the crucified body of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. And everyone who
takes this, as we're going to read in a moment, is saying,
that I'm eating his flesh and his blood. This doesn't turn
into his flesh. That doesn't turn into his blood.
No, it's just wine. It always will be wine. Just
bread. But what we're saying is, by faith, I believe, I trust,
I rest in and on the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe he died for
my sin. And I right now worship him for
that. I worship him for that. All right? It's no sanctimonious, holy thing
you need to be, you know, superstitious about. Simple, simple ceremony
in remembrance of a wonderful, so wonderful salvation. All right? Let's sing this hymn. Where's
mine? What did I do with it? We'll
sing this to the tune of, what would we agree, Amazing Grace?
Okay. Sing this to the tune of Amazing
Grace. Stand and stretch your legs a moment, will you? All right? This is wonderful. Listen to the word. With wandering eyes, Lord, we
admire the peace prepared Come, Lord, and set our souls
on fire, And fill each heart with peace. These emblems of Thy That precious
love that day may we receive And with a solemn pleasure to
be in Thy Name believe No goodness of our own we bring,
neither's vile and vain. Christ is our all, of Christ
we sing, and long to see his name. O may we keep His law and
love. Saint worthy is the Lamb. To Him alone the praise belongs. And we'll adore His name. You may be seated. All right, Brother Henry, pass
out the bread please. Questioner 2 has no question. Questioner 3 has no question.
