0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm John Stangey, and today we're in Psalm one oh five,

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be reading from the New English translation. Give

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>thanks to the Lord. Call on his name, make known

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>his accomplishments among the nations. Sing to him, make music

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to him, Tell about all his miraculous deeds. Boast about

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>his holy name. Let the hearts of those who seek

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and the strength he gives.

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Seek his presence. Continually recall the miraculous deeds he performed,

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>his mighty acts, and the judgments he decreed. Oh, children

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>of Abraham, God's servant, you, descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones.

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 1>He is the Lord, our God. He carries out judgment

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>throughout the earth. He always remembers his covenantal decree, the

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>promise he made to a thousand generations, the promise he

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac.

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>He gave it to Jacob as a decree to Israel,

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>as a lasting promise, saying to you I will give

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 1>When they were few in number, just a very few,

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and resident foreigners within it, they wandered from nation to nation,

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>and from one kingdom to another. He let no one

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>oppress them. He disciplined kings for their sake, saying, don't

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>touch my chosen ones, don't harm my prophets. He called

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>down a famine upon the earth. He cut off all

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>the food supply. He sent a man ahead of them.

0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Joseph was sold as a servant. The shackles hurt his feet,

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>his neck was placed in an iron collar, until the

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>time when his prediction came true. The Lord's word proved

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>him right. The king authorized his release. The ruler of

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>nations set him free. He put him in charge of

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>his palace and made him manager of all his property,

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>giving him authority to imprison his officials and to teach

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>his advisers. Israel moved to Egypt. Jacob lived for a

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>time in the land of Ham. The lord made his

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>people very fruitful, and made them more numerous than their enemies.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 1>He caused them to hate his people and to mistreat

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>his servants. He sent his servant Moses, an aaron whom

0:02:55.400 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>he had chosen. They executed his miraculous signs among them,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and his amazing deeds. In the land of Ham, he

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>made it dark. They did not disobey his orders. He

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>turned their water into blood and killed their fish. Their

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>land was overrun by frogs, which even got into the

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>rooms of their kings. He ordered flies to come. Gnats

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>invaded their whole territory. He sent hail along with the rain.

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.639
<v Speaker 1>There was lightning in their land. He destroyed their vines

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and fig trees, and broke the trees throughout their territory.

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers. They ate all

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the vegetation in their land and devoured the crops of

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>their fields. He struck down all the first born in

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>their land, the first fruits of their reproductive power. He

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>brought his people out, enriched with silver and gold. None

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>of his tribes stumbled. Egypt was happy when they left,

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>for they were afraid of them. He spread out a

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>cloak for a cover and provided a fire to light

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>up the night. They asked for food, and he sent quails.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>He satisfied them with food from the sky. He opened

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>up a rock and water flowed out a river ran

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>through dry regions. Yes, he remembered the sacred promise he

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>made to Abraham, his servant. When he led his people out,

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>they rejoiced. His chosen ones shouted with joy. He handed

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the territory of nations over to them, and they took

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>possession of what other peoples had produced, so that they

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>might keep his commands and obey his laws. Praise the Lord.

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's pray. Lord, we thank you for your word, and

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for the privilege of being able to

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>look at this psalm together today. And Lord, as we

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>look at this psalm, we could see that you keep

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>your promises, and you keep your pledges, and you do

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the things that you've promised you your servants that you

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>will do. Lord, we pray that, by your grace, that

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>you'd help us to trust in you in the midst

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of all circumstances of life that we may find ourselves in.

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And Lord, we recognize that you encouraged your people to

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>keep your laws. But we also know that by nature, Lord,

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>we're sinners, and we've broken every law you've ever given us.

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So you sent your son Jesus Christ into this world,

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and we know that Jesus kept all the law for us,

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and now through faith in Jesus Christ, we are declared righteous,

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>as if we've personally kept the law. Lord, We're grateful

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that your son, Jesus Christ has kept your law on

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>our behalf, and that we can be the recipients of

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>his gift of righteousness through faith in him. We thank

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>you that that's a truth that your word has revealed

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to us, and we pray Lord that that would be

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 1>something that we would rejoice in each and every day.

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>We love you, Lord. We're grateful for your presence with

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>us today, and we commit this day to your care.

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We thank you for all of these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm
