26
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,880

27
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: one and twenty four from the King James version. My son,

28
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: let not them depart from thine eyes. Keep sound, wisdom

29
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: and discretion. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid. Yea,

30
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

31
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Take a moment to pour out your adoration to God,

32
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: who hears you. Truly, my soul finds rest in you God,

33
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: for your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.

34
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Love is better than

35
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: life itself. I will sing to the Lord as long

36
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: as I live. I will praise my God to my

37
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: last breath. Wisdom grants sweet sleep. Wisdom is applied knowledge,

38
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: and applied knowledge of God's word brings blessings. Many valuable

39
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: life lessons are found within this chapter of Proverbs, among them,

40
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: how to achieve better rest by living your life with

41
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: wisdom and reason, you can acquire the ability to sleep

42
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 2: peacefully and free of fear. King Solomon advised living life

43
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: in such a way as to be content with your actions.

44
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: So if you are smart about what you do during

45
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: the day, you will sleep well at night knowing you

46
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: did your best. However, constantly living life that way is

47
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: not easy. Sometimes emotions can cloud judgment and suppress reason.

48
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: If you are struggling with making wise decisions during your day,

49
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: this is your opportunity for divine intervention. Take this time

50
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: to reach out to God. Confess your bad decisions to him.

51
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: Now consider for a moment God's wisdom in your life,

52
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: and thank him for it. Thank God for the gift

53
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: of his Holy Word, Lord for sharing of himself and

54
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 2: his intelligence through scripture. Thank God that his word is

55
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 2: not in vain, that it accomplishes what it sets out

56
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: to do. Thank Him that his obedience to his word

57
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: produces good outcomes in your life. Thank the Lord for

58
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: providing you with grace and for supplying all your needs.

59
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: Thank God for past mercies and for his mercy still

60
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: to come. Thank Him for blessing you beyond measure. God

61
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: is present and he is listening to you. Whatever you

62
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: ask for in faith and in accordance to His word,

63
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: God will grant you, and it is God's will that

64
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: you live a life filled with His knowledge and His presence.

65
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit desires to help you achieve this lifestyle.

66
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: Seek God out, ask him to help you have and

67
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: apply self control, to make good choices, and to think

68
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: before you act. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you

69
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: to apply biblical wisdom to your daily decisions. Remember, you

70
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: are to hold on to wisdom and reason and not

71
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: lose sight of them. If you do this, you won't

72
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: need to be afraid when you lie down, because when

73
00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: you lie down, your sleep will be peaceful. You will

74
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: be content in the knowledge that you did the best

75
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: you could that day. Be encouraged. You can do this.

76
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: You have God's Holy Spirit to show you the way

77
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:26,320
