0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for your word, and we thank you

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>for the privilege of being able to look at this

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 1>passage today and we could see, Lord, that just as

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>you had promised to give your people the promised land,

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>we see through these genealogies and through all the things

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.840
<v Speaker 1>that are recorded here that you gave them the land

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that you had promised them. You fulfilled the oath that

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you had made to their ancestors, and they were given

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>land to settle and to enjoy. And it should have

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 1>prompted them to give you praise and thanksgiving. But Lord,

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>so often we take a look at the things that

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you bless us with, and then we take them for granted.

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>We grow used to them, and we think that we've

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>always had them, and we forget that they're gifts that

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>came directly from your hand. Lord, were reminded that the

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>greatest gift that you ever gave to us was your

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>son Jesus Christ, who came through the people of Israel

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to this world to show mercy, to save sinners, and

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to offer the gift of salvation to everyone who will believe. Lord,

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 1>thank you for opening our eyes and our hearts to

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>believe in your son Jesus Christ and to receive the

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>gift of salvation. And we pray Lord, that throughout the

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>course of this day, that we would not take your

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 1>blessings for granted, but that we would give you thanks

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>for your goodness to us. We commit this day to

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 1>your care, Lord, and we thank you for your presence

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>with us in it. We pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen,
