<v Speaker 1>and we thank you for the privilege of being able

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to look at it today and again, Lord, as we

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.719
<v Speaker 1>continue this look at the genealogical records that you have

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the Book of First chronicles. We

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>see these things as the fulfillment of your promise to

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>make Abraham's descendants as numerous as the stars and the sky,

0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and as numerous as the sand on the shore. And Lord,

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you refer to many of these men as warriors and

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>capable of doing battle, and we're grateful that you raise

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>these men up. But we're also grateful Lord for the

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>battles that you fight on our behalf. We know Lord

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>that so often we think that we're in this world

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and have to fight every battle in our own strength,

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>But you sent your son Jesus Christ to accomplish in

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>this world what we could never accomplish in our flesh.

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>So we're grateful that through Jesus Christ, the ultimate battles

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that we need help with, that we need defense in

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the midst of are ultimately battles that are fought in

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>one by your son Jesus Christ, whom we trust. So

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>we're grateful Lord for that reality. We're grateful for your

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>presence with us, and we thank you for your goodness, grace,

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and love toward us. We commit ourselves to you today

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and we thank you for being with us and all

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.040
