Summary
Pastor Safrit walks through Psalm 34, emphasizing how to please the Lord by blessing, seeking, fearing, and trusting Him. He highlights that true praise should be constant, and believers must rely on God's guidance like blind skiers depend on their sighted partners. The sermon encourages congregants to actively seek the Lord, pursue righteousness, and trust in His goodness, especially during trials, reminding them that God is always present to provide refuge and support.
Welcome and Introduction
Thank you for listening to Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Sermon Audio. For more information, please visit our website, pgbcronda.com, or visit on all social media platforms. Fantastic.
If you have your Bibles, we're going to open up to Psalms chapter 34 this morning. Psalm 34, as we go through our Psalms series and continue to talk through these things.
Thank you again for singing well. If you've got a young person that wants to go to Children's Church, that's available as well. And I had planned to preach this before we even left for camp.
And you're going to hear some of the flavor of where that song we just sang came from. I did not tell the teenagers what to sing or how to sing or what to be a part of, but they chose that song. And it sounds really, really great with this Psalm as well.
So if you have your Bibles open to Psalms 34,
we'll stand, let you stretch your legs for a minute and read all 22 verses this morning. The Bible says, It says, Verse 17, Lord, we love you. We thank you for your blessings.
Lord, I thank you for these young people and their ability to stand and lift your voice.
Lord, we thank you for the scripture that you've given us. That has encouraged me over the last couple of weeks of studying it. And even made even a bigger impact on my life this last week.
I pray, Lord, that you would have your will and way today in this service. We thank you for your blessings. In your name we pray. Amen. Amen. You can be seated. I came across a story in 1988.
One of the best years ever because it was the year I was born. Get someone to testify a little bit. Amen. Amen.
And in 1988, a television program preceding the Winter Olympics featured what was for the first time blind skiers training for skiing.
Never heard this story before until I came across this past week. They were training for Salome skiing. This is impossible as it sounds. They were paired with a sighted skier.
The blind skiers were taught on flats on how to make right and left turns. And when that was mastered, they were taken to the larger, bigger slopes where they were paired with their sighted partners.
And they would ski beside them and their partner would shout, turn left and turn right. And as they obeyed these commands, they were able to navigate and negotiate this course and cross the finish line.
And they were all dependent solely on the sighted skiers and their word. And it was either going to be complete or it was going to be catastrophe.
And so the Olympics began to do this. And as I began to think through that and think through our life as Christians, is this not the life we live? We're in a world and we don't know our left from our right physically and even spiritually. And in reality, we're blind when it comes to following Jesus.
And it's only at his voice do we make that next step.
We must solely rely on his voice, his word, and what he has told us to be in our life. Because he is the only one that is truly sighted. God himself is the I am of the I am.
His word gives us direction and discipline in our life in order for us to finish our course. And today as we look at Psalms 34,
the thought is how do we please the Lord? How can we in ourselves please the Lord in the way that he has called us to do?
Blessing the Lord
And there's four basic things we'll look at. The first is this. We must bless the Lord.
The very first verse, the very first words of the very first verse said, I will bless the Lord.
And he goes on to say, I will bless the Lord all the time. How often is it in our life that we fail to bless the Lord all the time?
Yeah, we're going to bless ourselves and we're going to take care of me, myself, and I. But oftentimes in our life, we are not blessing the Lord all the time.
David, as we've looked through his life, as we've looked through these trials and tribulations that he's going through, he gets to this point where he says, I'm going to bless the Lord all the time. I will always have praise on my lips.
As long as you have breath in your bones, we should be praising the Lord.
I had this written down in my notes and I'm going to change it a little bit from even from camp this week. But I wrote down like this.
It should be the only thing that we talk about, we think about, that we act on is the Lord.
And when we begin to talk with other people, other people should say, you know what, I know that person's a Christian or a believer in something other than what I believe because of what's coming out of them.
Because of the words they say, the attitudes they have, the actions they're taking, they are living a different life than me. Greg, when he was speaking, he gave this illustration of a cup.
And he said, there's a cup up here. And does anyone in here know what's in this cup? Could be coffee, could be soda, could be liquid, it could be nothing.
He said, the only way we are going to know what's in this cup is by what's in this cup coming out of it. He said, as you're walking through life and someone bumps into you, something comes out. And what comes out is what was put in this cup.
He said, as we begin to think through this thought of blessing the Lord, he said, you are putting things in this cup every single day.
And it's whatever you're putting in is what's going to come out. And oftentimes, we like to put this cap on top of this cup and say, this is my religion.
God, I'm going to fill it up and I'm not going to let anything come out of it. But God says, no, no, no, no, no.
I need you to take what's in this cup, empty it out and let me fill this cup up with all of me.
So that when you get bumped, so that when you're around people, when hard times happen, what's going to come out is Jesus.
And that's when we are able to bless the Lord because the Lord is working in us. But oftentimes, we want to boast of ourselves. We want to boast of what we have done.
And Christ says, no, it's not what you have done, but it's what I have done through you. And when we are allowing the Lord to fill us up, we do this so that others can see it and others can be encouraged. And it lifts them up.
I love this verse 3. Look at it. It says, proclaim the Lord's greatness with me. Let us exalt his name together.
We should be bringing others along with us. This Christian journey is not meant to be alone. This Christian journey is not meant to be me, myself, and I.
And I'm going to take care of myself and my own religious mindset of what I believe of Christ. But it's bringing others with us. He says, let us examine his name together.
Some of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life are when I do this Christian journey with other people.
When I go to a conference or a campus we just went to or a convention and I'm around hundreds of other. We had 400 teenagers that were there this past week. I went to the Southern Baptist Convention. There were 15,000 pastors that were there.
We worship the Lord together. We sang songs. We heard preaching together. We, we, I've been to conferences with my friends before and, and we study the word and we, we go through what God has for us because we grow together. Brother, what did Jesus come into this world to do?
He came in and he said, you know what? I'm going to walk a, a long journey all by myself.
I'm not going to have anyone with me. And I'm going to go through the world all by myself. And when it comes to the end of my life, I'm going to, I'm going to die and just die all by myself. No, at age 30, he went and he said, Hey, I need 12,
13 to 18 year olds. I want you to come with me. I want you to walk with me for three years. I'm going to teach you.
I'm going to train you everything that needs to be in life because we're going to do this life together. And then at the end of that three years, I'm going to die and I'm going to be raised from the dead. I'm going to teach you again.
Sharing Jesus with Others
And then I'm going to send you into the world to change the world. But oftentimes in our life, we want to just get Jesus and hold on to Jesus ourselves and never share that with anyone else. Never go and tell anyone about Jesus.
And Christ is saying here through the writing of David, bring others with you.
There's a song out. It's a praise song. It's called, I will praise him in the valley. I will praise him in the mountain. I'll praise him when I'm sure and I'll praise him when I'm doubting.
I'll praise you when I'm outnumbered. I'll praise you when I'm surrounded because praise is the water my enemies will drown in. As long as I'm breathing, I've got a reason to praise the Lord. Oh, my soul. Praise the Lord. Oh, my soul. I'll praise you when I feel it and get this church.
I'll praise you when I don't. Because more often than not, we're in that don't part where we don't want to praise the Lord. We don't have the courage to praise the Lord. We don't have the energy to praise the Lord.
But that's when we should be praising the Lord. I'll praise you because I know that you're still in control because my praise is the weapon.
It's more than a sound. It brings the shout of heaven down. It brings Jericho down.
That's what our praise does this morning, church. It brings the glory of the Lord into this world. It says here, proclaim the Lord's greatness with me.
This is the thought of us blessing and praising the Lord in everything we do, everything we say, everything, every action that we do is praising the Lord and blessing him in all ways. But then he goes into the next part of this verse in verses 4 through 8 and he says,
seek the Lord. I sought the Lord and he answered me.
Seeking the Lord, this is the same as looking to the Lord or looking to him by faith. And when we look to him, the Bible says that he shines down his blessings upon us. We were talking this week about pain and trials and suffering and how death is part of life.
And I shared this this morning with our Sunday school class even again, how death is part of life, but yet it still feels so unnatural. Because man was never created to die.
Man was created to live forever in the glory of the Lord in the garden, to worship him and live with him and to praise him. But yet man sinned and death was entered into the world.
And I said, I pointed to the window and I said, if you look out this window, there are more dead people outside of this wall than there are inside these walls.
We know that death is part of life, but yet when someone dies, it's just unnatural for us.
This is when we seek back to him and we go back to him and we say, Lord, I need you in my life. I need you to be around me. I need you to help me in this moment.
And I gave that whole illustration to get to this point. As we were talking about this, this death is part of life now. I said, can you imagine? I told this, I don't know if it was to Carrie or Allie or if the whole group was there. I said, can you imagine Enoch?
Enoch is walking with the Lord and he's living for the Lord and he's living in a perverse nation. I mean, this is right before the flood happened. This is right before the Lord said, the world is so wicked, I'm going to kill the whole thing because there's so much wickedness.
But then there was this man named Enoch who was just walking faithful with the Lord. And the Lord said, because you're so faithful,
because you love me and because you worship me, I don't want you to experience this thing called death. Just come on and walk with me into heaven.
As I was thinking through that, I thought, could the Lord look down on me and say that? Could the Lord look at me and say, James, you've walked so faithful with me. You've loved me. You've stayed faithful to me in your trials and your tribulations.
Let's just walk on into heaven together. You don't need to see death. You don't need to see pain. You don't need to see suffering. Just come on into glory with me. And oftentimes I look at myself and I say,
how wicked of a person am I that the Lord doesn't see that in me?
And it drives me to grow closer to him and to seek him and to say, God, I need you in my life. Because when David was saying this, he gives us three things. He says, Lord, save me in verse six.
He says, the poor man cried and the Lord heard me and he saved me from his troubles.
You see, this poor man up here that's standing in front of me cried before the Lord one day as a five-year-old boy.
And I got down on my hands and knees and I said, God, I don't understand all this Christianity and I probably never will, but I know right now I'm a sinner and I'm in need of your salvation. And I want to spend eternity with you.
You see, this is the realization of understanding that Christ is the one that saves. It's not what I can do.
It's not what you can do. It's not what your grandparents have done for you, but it's what Christ has done for us. And he has redeemed us.
And when we experience this and we understand that we were headed for hell and we were going to split hell wide open, there was nothing we could do to change it. And that Christ is the one that came and sacrificed his life for us.
That's when we realized that we can't do anything. It's all about Jesus.
But not only does he say, Lord, save me, but he says, keep me in verse seven. He says, the angel, Lord, encampuses around me with those who fear him and he rescues me. He keeps me. He encampuses around me. He protects me.
One of the things we need to think about is, is this is not that I'm fighting against people in this room or people outside this room, but we fight against the devils and the principalities of the air.
It's not against flesh and blood, but it's about the principalities of the air that we fight against. And we must understand that if we are seeking the Lord, the Lord says, I'm going to protect you. I'm going to encompass around you.
Not saying you won't go through trials and tribulations, but I'm going to be there as a way of escape. I'm going to be there as a way for you to run to me in those moments.
Not only does he save us and keep us, but he satisfies us in verse eight. It says, taste and see that the Lord is good.
Taste and see. You know, I like food. I love food. The Bible says here, taste and see that the Lord is good. You know, often people will say, none of this is written in my notes. Often people will say, you know, you talk about food a lot.
There's not many times in scripture I don't see Jesus hanging out around food. Okay, what does Jesus do? He breaks bread, turns bread from just five loaves and two fishes into five, he feeds 5,000.
I mean, Jesus had dinner with people all the time. I think that me and Jesus are on the right pace if we can think about food often. Okay, so taste and see that the Lord is good. But why do we do this?
Because he's saying, look around you and see what is in your life that you can trust the Lord in. Look around you and see that the person that we can take refuge in the Lord.
Look at that last verse, the last part of verse eight. How happy is the person who takes refuge in him? Because you've tasted and seen the Lord,
that's when we take refuge in him and we're feasting on what he has for us.
Finding Joy in Trials
Even through the trials, even through the difficulties, we are happy because of the Lord. We are happy because Christ is inside of us. He is living with us. He is there for us.
And even though we go through difficult times, even though we go through times where we don't understand why this is happening. Just as David, who was anointed as king as a young boy, who went out and killed Goliath and saved his nation from being overthrown by the giants.
Who was now being chased by his best friend's dad.
Saying, God, how happy is the person that takes refuge in you? I'm in a cave right now. I don't have family around me. All my brothers have forsaken me. I don't have a mom and a dad around me. I've just got 300 men who are here with me. We're starving.
Oh, but taste and see that you're good, God.
Oh, taste and see that I can take refuge in you. Oh, taste and see that you are the redeemer of my soul.
Oh, how the lion, as we look at lacks food and goes hungry, I'm going to seek you and I'm not going to like any good thing in my life. See, the important thing to understand about the good thing here is it's not the good thing that you think is good.
It's the good thing that the Lord thinks is good for you. He may look at you and say, you know what?
You need to go through this trial because it's going to bring you closer to me. You need to go through this situation in your life. You see, I wouldn't have prayed as a 16-year-old boy and said, God, separate my parents.
God, you know what? I really would like for my mom and dad to get a divorce and me to have to go through that difficult time.
But the Lord looked down and he said, it's going to be good for him to go through this. It's going to be hard. It's going to be difficult.
He's not going to know the answers to all these things, but it's going to drive him to me.
And if I didn't go through that, I wouldn't have been driven to the Lord as a 16-year-old boy. I don't think I would have surrendered to preach as a 17-year-old boy because the Lord said it's good for you to go through these things. I didn't say it was good.
The Lord said it was good. And when we understand that we go through these things because the Lord sees that it's good for us, it changes the way we look at things. So we bless the Lord. We seek the Lord. But then in verse 9-16, it says, fear the Lord.
Fearing the Lord
Fear the Lord. As you who are holy ones, fear the Lord. Literally there in verse 9, it says it.
As we fear the Lord, there is nothing else to fear because fearing the Lord drives away all the fears. You don't have to turn there, but if you want to write this down, Psalms 112 verse 1. Just a couple of pages over, and I didn't put this on the screen. I should have.
I'm sorry. But Psalms 112 verse 1 says it like this. If my fingers work this morning. Hallelujah. Happy is the person who fears the Lord, taking great delight in His commands.
Because when we fear the Lord, it drives away all the fears. And we are happy in the commands of the Lord because we fear the Lord and because we are trusting in what He has for us. He is the provider of all things.
As all of things that we could ever imagine. As we think about a child who we have some instructions for them.
We were just at camp and the schedule is crazy and we are doing a lot of things. And we would gather the kids around.
And they would come around and we would say, okay kids, this is the schedule for the next day. And we would say the schedule and they are listening intently.
And we would say, okay, we are doing this and this and this. And sure enough, one of those kids would raise their hand and say, what time are we eating lunch? We just said it.
Were you not paying attention to the instructions? Another kid raised their hand. What time are we having games? They never asked what time was chapel. They just knew what time chapel was, right? They always asked all the other things.
And this is the thought of gathering these people around and saying, this is the instructions from the Lord.
These are the things that you are going to go through. These are the things in your life. And when we trust in the Lord, we lack nothing.
And I see four basic things out of this passage here in this moment. And we will briefly walk through them for sake of time. Now, verse 12,
the first thing we see here is we desire what is good. Look at verse 12. He who is someone who desires love, who desires life, who desires a long way of what is good.
We desire what is good in our life. And there's nothing wrong with desiring what is good. Right? Me and my wife, when we got married, we sat down and we said, these are some things that we'd love to have in life.
Right? I wanted like 400 kids. And she's like, no, I don't want any kids. And so we're trying to figure out this balance of what is good and what isn't good. And so we settled on three. Okay?
And so we try to figure out what is good in life. And it's nothing wrong with desiring good things.
There's nothing wrong with looking at your kids when they're young and praying for them and saying, God, protect their mind. God, protect their feet when they walk and they go into this world that's full of sin and suffering and pain. I don't want them to go through that. Lord, protect them.
There's nothing wrong with desiring what is good. The psalmist says it here. He said, those who fear the Lord are going to desire a life that's longing because the longer we live life, it should be that the longer we get to tell someone about Jesus,
the longer we have breath in our bones, we get to praise the Lord so that someone else can hear encouragement. So desiring what is good. Verse 13, speaking what is true. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
You see, if we desire a good life, one of the most important things we desire should be to watch our tongue. James 3, 1 through 12.
I'm not going to read all of it, but you can write it down there. James 3, 1 through 12.
It talks about how the tongue controls the whole body. The tongue is like a rudder on the back of a boat. You barely move it and the whole boat turns.
The tongue is like an anchor in a ship where when it's dropped down, it's going to hold that ship there. It's small, but it controls so much. And whatever the tongue does, it controls the whole body.
Proverbs 21, 23. Who guards the tongue? Proverbs 21, 23. Whoever guards his tongue keeps his whole soul from trouble. Our tongue controls our whole soul.
And the Bible says as it continues on in Ephesians, we must speak the truth in love.
Jesus says it like this. He says as you go through this world, you should be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Because our tongue is so powerful that we must control these things in our life.
And then in verse 14, it says this. Not only do we desire what is good and speak what is right and true, we must pursue what is right. Forsake sin and all. Look at verse 14. Turn away from evil and do what is good. Seek peace and pursue it.
Pursue what is right. Get rid of sin in our life. Don't allow your life to just follow your heart.
Again, don't allow your life just to follow your heart. The Bible says that our heart is desperately wicked. Who can know it?
And if we just follow our heart, it's going to lead us into sin. But instead, I would tell you to follow the Lord and let his word lead your life. He ends this verse with the word that says here, pursue.
Which in the old Hebrew simply means to desire what is good and to have hard work. Look, we just had what was called the NFL Combine just a couple of weeks ago. The NFL Combine is designed to allow someone not to perform their best unless they actually pursue their best.
Right? Have you ever been in a running competition or some type of race? And you see the Olympics. They've got all eight, ten, how many ever there are there. They're lined up on the track.
And they're running. And they're going. And they look to their right and their left. And they see someone beside them. And they start speeding up a little bit. Why is it? Because they're chasing after someone.
They're chasing after something that is in front of them. But the NFL Combine, they set you up. And there's a timer here. And it's just you in the track.
And you have to motivate yourself to go as fast and as hard as you possibly can on that 40-yard dash. Because it's a solo. And they know that you will run slower due to no one being around you.
And this is the thought of us pursuing Christ even when no one's around us. To put in the hard work. And to pursue something that's going to make us to work harder and faster. And to pursue Christ. Now thankfully the Lord allows other people to be around us.
But if there's a moment where we're all alone. The Bible says you're not all alone because you've got Christ with you. And you can pursue Christ with him in you.
But it's this thought of working harder. Working faster. And doing more for the Lord while we've got the time. Pursuing what is right. And then in verse 15. Expect what is best.
Look at verse 15 again. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous. And his ears are open to their cry for help. You see when we live this Christian life. We must live by faith.
Trust in the Lord that he's going to guide us. He's going to care for us. And he's going to help us do the right thing. He is seeing us.
And he is hearing us. And by hearing. By us knowing that the Lord sees us and hears us.
It's to drive us to this fear of the Lord. To know that we would expect what is best in our life. It's not this rule.
This set of rules. This set of lists. But it is this set of saying. God I'm going to expect the best in my life. And whatever happens.
I'm going to understand that it's for my best. It's for my good. When I go through these situations. When I go through these problems. It is driving me to know that it is for my best. And then he ends the last passage here in 17 through 22. By simply saying trust the Lord.
Trust the Lord as we just sang. Trust in the Lord. He's saying here trust the Lord. The righteous cry out. And the Lord hears you. And he rescues you from all your troubles. When we trust the Lord. Nowhere does it say that we will not experience trouble.
Nowhere does it say. You're going to have a life that is full of health, wealth and prosperity. But on the contrary. Christ says that. If they hated me. Surely they're going to hate you. If they crucified me.
Surely they're going to come after you. Don't try to put this in our mind. And say you know what. They hated Christ. I'm going to follow Christ. They're going to love me. It doesn't happen in society. It doesn't happen in culture.
And if they hated Christ. And they crucified Christ. They are going to hate us as well. And it doesn't stop us from loving them. What does Romans chapter 12 say? Love your enemies.
Love them when they hate you. Love them when they abuse you. Show kindness to them when they hate you. Because that is what our Lord and Savior did. Because he is there to sustain us.
And he promises that he's going to help us through the difficult times. He states that he'll take care of our physical bodies. You can look at Job all through the book of Job. And he promises to take care of his body. But he says this. He'll be near to us.
And he'll form a great sense of care upon our lives.
And we have something that Job doesn't have. It's the Holy Spirit in our life. That we can run to. He says he'll take care of our enemies. And we have refuge in him.
You've been there as a parent. You've had a kid that gets hurt. And in that moment of pain and suffering. What do they do? They run to their parents. They run to mom. They run to dad. They run to grandparents. And they just love on them. They say.
I feel like if I can just hold on to you.
The pain goes away. I can remember so vividly. About six or seven years ago. We had just moved into the Parsonage there. At our former church. And Jade went down that hill. I think I've told this story before. And she got to the bottom of that massive hill there. And her bike twisted and flipped.
And she went over the handlebars. Hit her face onto the pavement. Arm all scraped up. Leg all scraped up. She comes running back to the house. Dad. Dad. She's crying.
I couldn't do anything to help her. I just grabbed her and hugged her and loved on her. And in that moment of tears and suffering and pain. Her life got better because she was in her dad's arms.
And when we go through these things. We have a heavenly father. The Bible says. Does not a earthly father love your children so much more?
Will your heavenly father love you? If only we run to them. To him. In that moment.
We run to our heavenly father. And he takes us up in his arms. And he says. I got you.
Let me take care of that enemy. Let me take care of that principality. That's in this world. Who's running your life. Let me take care of it. Thank you for running to me. Thank you for trusting in me.
But he's asking us. Are we trusting in him? As Terry comes and we close the service. Our responsibilities are ours.
How we live our life is our responsibility. The outcome belongs to the Lord. When our faith starts to interfere with outcomes. And we begin to question God's providence. And we begin to say. God how are you going to accomplish this? Or how are you going to do that? That's we falter.
Trusting God's Omnipotence
We begin to get this place. Where we are interjecting our needs. Into what the Lord says. But it's simply trusting the Lord. And saying the Lord. You are the almighty God. You are faithful. You are trustworthy. You've never failed me before. Why would you fail me now? As we say.
It's our duty to simply let him guide our course. As that blind person going down that slope.
The sighted person is there. And he says. Hey take a left. The blind person can say. You know what? I don't believe in you. I don't trust you. I'm going to do right. Whack. You hit a tree. Right? That's what happens.
The Lord says. I'm here with you. I'm telling you. Take a left. And you're.
Stubborn like I am. I'm preaching to myself this morning. And God says. Trust in me. Our task is. To simply say.
God I'm going to. Trust my weak soul. Into your omnipotence.
My efforts are going to fail. But. That's due to my sin. And my brokenness. And God I'm coming to you. For that forgiveness. And that healing. And I need you to work in my life today. A couple of questions. You can ask yourself. As we close down.
How are you praising the Lord today? What steps do you need to take. To make things right? Are you praising the Lord properly? Is our attitude.
Our posture of prayer. One of what David says here. I'm going to praise you at all the times. No matter what's on my lips. I'm going to praise you. No matter what's in my cup. I'm going to praise you. Have you sought the Lord lately?
Has it been that you are simply. Seeking the Lord. And saying God. God. I need you today.
More than I needed yesterday. And tomorrow. I'm going to need you more then. Than I need you the day before. Do you have a proper. Trust of the Lord. A fear of the Lord. Or have you. Simply.
Not feared your. Heavenly Father. And what I can remember. As I'm thinking through this illustration. I learned a lot from my older brothers and sisters. I was. Four or five. I can remember my. My. Older brother.
Got to the moment. When he got a little bit taller than mom. Some of you dads may. May remember this. As a son. Got just a little bit taller than mom. And. And my. My brother. As he was there. My.
My mom told him to do something. And as he's walking out the door. She said. Son. Stop. Jason. Stop. And what did he do? He turned. And he raised his fist.
And in that moment. He knew. I made a mistake. He knew. I done messed. Everything up.
She said. Boy. You may be taller than me. But I'm still your mama. And she wore him out. And when dad got home. He wore him out. And my brother. Never forgot. The proper fear of his mom. After that day. And I never forgot that either.
But I. Sometimes wonder. Have we forgotten. The fear of the Lord.
Or are we thinking. That we're too big for God now. Are we thinking. That we're just too mighty now. And I'm big. And I'm grown. And I'm an adult. And the fear of the Lord is gone. And then ultimately. The last one is. Where are you trusting. And who are you trusting in.
Just some questions. For us to think about. As we look through this psalm. This morning. Wherever the Lord may have.
Impacted your life. Or touched your life. Maybe you just come down. And say. God.
I need that fear of you again. I need to trust you. I need to seek you more. I need to praise you more. Whatever it may be. Seek the Lord this morning. We love you Lord. Thank you for what you've done for us. God.
I pray that you would. Have your will and way in the service today. I pray that you would.
Work in each and every one of our lives. I know you're going to work differently. I know you're going to work in a. Unique way in me. As you're going to work in my wife. And my kids. Kids.
It's because you're omniscient. And you're omnipresent. You know everything about us. And you know what I need this morning. So God. I pray that you would. Specifically work in each and every person.
