Speaker 1: Dear Lord, you are my refuge and delight in the morning,

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: Your steadfast love is before me. In the evening, as

7
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: my eyes grow heavy and my mind wanders, I consider

8
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: your faithfulness. I want my life to be a song

9
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: of praise to you, a ballad of blessings that an

10
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,880

11
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: tree planted in you, or courts leaves teeming with life

12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: and vitality. I want my roots to dig deep into you,

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: causing fruit to bear from my branches, even in the

14
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: old age. Surround me with your righteousness, Lord, so that

15
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I can endure life struggles. Clothes me in the whole

16
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: armor of God, so I.

17
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: Can riden and not grow weary, fight and not fate,

18
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: and praise even amid persecution.

00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: We will be meditating on Psalm ninety two. As we

31
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: prepare to listen to a Psalm of praise. Let's open

32
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: our hearts to worship the Lord. Get in a comfortable position,

33
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: lie down flat on your back, or sit straight up

34
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: in a chair. Maintain a good posture to open up

35
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: your chest and your airway. Take a deep breath through

36
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: your nose. Feel the fresh air, rejuvenate your lungs. Exhale

37
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: slowly through your mouth, and feel the oxygen flow to

38
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: your heart, lightening its load, allowing it to slow down

39
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: and relax. Close your eyes and think of all the

40
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: wonderful works the Lord has done. Reflect on the beauty

41
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: of His creation, Reflect on the beauty in your life.

42
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Take a deep breath and feel the joy of His

43
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: works enter your lungs. Exhale slowly, and allow his joy

44
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 3: to flow through your veins and warm your heart. As

45
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: your mind and body relax, focus on receiving God's word.

46
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: Ask God to refresh you with his truth and remind

47
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: you of his faithfulness. Allow his voice to lead you

48
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: to a quiet place where you can rest Inhale and

49
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: exhale slowly. The Bible tells us cultivating a heart of

50
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: worship will bring a fresh perspective to our lives and

51
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: help us stand firmly in the Lord. To night. Let's

52
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: praise God and experience his joy and peace to lighten

53
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: our hearts and calm our mind as we prepare for rest.

54
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: Psalm ninety two from the King James's version says, it

55
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,

56
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: and to sing praises unto thy name almost high, to

57
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning and thy

58
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: faithfulness every night, upon an instrument of ten strings, and

59
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: upon the sultry upon the harp, with a solemn sound.

60
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: For thou Lord hast made me glad through thy works.

61
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord,

62
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: how great are thy works, and thy thoughts are very deep.

63
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

64
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all

65
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: the world works of iniquity do flourish, it is that

66
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: they shall be destroyed forever. But Thou Lord art most

67
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: high for evermore. For lo thine enemies, O Lord, for

68
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: lo thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity

69
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: shall be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like

70
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: the horn of an unicorn. I shall be anointed with

71
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: fresh oil. Mine eyes also shall see my desire on

72
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of

73
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 3: the wicked that rise up against me. Though righteous shall

74
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a

75
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 3: cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house

76
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

77
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They

78
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,239
Speaker 3: shall be fat and flourishing. To shew that the Lord

79
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: is upright. He is my rock, and there is no

80
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: unrighteousness in him. Meditate on the faithfulness of the Lord.

81
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: Find joy in his mighty deeds, in the wonderful works

82
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: of his hands. Close your eyes and breathe in and

83
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: out slowly. Feel your heart pump to the music of

84
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: wonder and joy playing in your soul. Hear your spirit

85
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 3: shall praise ess to the Lord. Take a deep breath,

86
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: lift your burdens to the Lord. Exhale slowly, and allow

87
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: his glory to fill your heart and mind with sweet

88
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: melodies of his faithfulness. Breathe in and out slowly. Flourish

89
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: in the Lord's presence. Allow his provision to sustain you

90
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 3: every day and every night, keeping you healthy for life.

91
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: Grow in the Lord's glory. Allow his light to shine

92
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 3: upon you and give you strength to remain firm in

93
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 3: the darkness of the night. Firmly root yourself in God's word,

94
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: and he will rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. Think

95
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: of the last time you spent praising the Lord during prayer.

96
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: If your prayers are filled with more asking than thanksgiving,

97
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: ask him to fill your heart with gratitude and your

98
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,239
Speaker 3: mind with positive thoughts. Confess the times when you grumbled

99
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: and complained rather than humbled and praised Breathe in his forgiveness.

100
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: Breathe out your anxious thoughts. Know the Lord is patient

101
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: with you, and he will spend a lifetime giving you

102
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: the nourishment you need to help you grow into the

103
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: person He created you to be. Praise the name of

00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 3: the Lord. Rejoice in his love and faithfulness. Thank Him

105
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 3: for the wonderful things he has done in your life.

106
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: Thank Him for being the rock on which you can stand.

107
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: Think of a person who needs to experience the joy

108
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: and goodness of God. Pray he will remind them of

109
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: his wonderful works and of his faithfulness in their life.

110
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,640

00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: melody of love. Lift up your requests to the Lord.

112
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: Know he is faithful and he is always working on

113
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: your behalf. Pray God will bring mature believers in your

114
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: life to encourage you in your walk with him. Pray

115
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: God will teach you his ways and help you grow

116
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: in Him so that you can stand tall and firm.

117
00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,559
