00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960

91
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: of scripture, we can see a variety of people that

92
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,840

00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: inspired to accomplish the work that you had given to

96
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: them to do. Lord. We also see that there were

97
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: some people that didn't look at this as a service

98
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: to you, and as a result, they seemed content to

99
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: let others do the work. But Lord, we're grateful for

100
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: what we see in this passage that primarily it appears

101
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: that the people understood good that this was a work

102
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: that you had ordained and you had called them to do,

103
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: and they were accomplishing it with the strength that you provided,

104
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: and they were working quickly because you were their strength. Likewise, Lord,

105
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,920

106
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,680

108

113
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,360
