Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm two before listening to

27
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: God's word. It is important to relax your body, clear

28
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: your mind, and settle your heart. Let's prepare to receive

29
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: God's word by getting in a comfortable position and doing

30
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: some breathing exercises. First, get comfortable by laying down flat

31
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: on a bed or a couch, or by sitting straight

32
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: up in your favorite chair. Relax your neck and shoulders,

33
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: Rest your arms gently by your side, and take a

34
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: few deep breaths. Close your eyes and breathe in and

35
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: out slowly. As you inhale, allow your chest to fully

36
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: expand exhale slowly and release the stress in your muscles.

37
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: Feel your joints soften and your feet relax. Take another

38
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: deep breath and clear your mind your thoughts on God.

39
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Remember who he is, the sovereign one that works every

40
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: day and night on your behalf. He is working tonight

41
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: to relieve you of the stress you are carrying from today,

42
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: and to give you peaceful rest through the night. Breathe

43
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: in and out slowly, surrender to God and listen for

44
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: his voice of truth to comfort you as you sleep tonight.

45
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: You can find rest in knowing God is in complete

46
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: control no matter what's going on in our lives and

47
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: the world around us. We can find peace in His sovereignty,

48
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: and we can find hope in knowing those who place

49
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: their trust in Him will be blessed. Psalm Too from

50
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: the King James's version says, why do the heathen rage

51
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of

52
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together

53
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us

54
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.

55
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord

56
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto

57
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure.

58
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill

59
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: of Zion, I will declare the decree the Lord hath

60
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: said unto me. Thou art, my son, this day have

61
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: I begotten thee ask of me? And I shall give

62
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: thee thy heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts

63
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them

64
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: with a rod of iron, Thou shalt dash them in

65
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now, therefore, o

66
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: ye kings, be instructed, Ye judges of the earth. Serve

67
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the

68
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: sun lest he be angry, And ye perish from the

69
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: way when his wrath is kindled. But a little blessed

70
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: are all they that put their trust in Him. When

71
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: the chaos of this world becomes too much to bear,

72
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: take refuge in God, Knowing he is sovereign over all

73
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: the nations and the rulers, sovereign over every aspect of

74
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: our lives. Nothing happens without his approval, nothing falls from

75
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: his grasp, nothing surprises him. He responds to everything that

76
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: happens in this world, and he knows what to do

77
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: in every situation. Let's focus on taking deep breaths to

78
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: calm our minds and settle our hearts. Take a big,

79
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: deep breath, allow your chest to fully expand when you exhale,

80
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: release all your fears and worries concerning this world. Put

81
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: your hope and trust in God. Breethn and out. Feel

82
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: His love and peace wash over you. Bask in his presence,

83
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: knowing you are safe in his hands. Bree then and

84
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: out slowly, close your eyes and focus on God and

85
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: the freedom you have in him. Praise Him for freeing

86
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: you from the chains and shackles of this world, from

87
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: saving you from the path of sin and destruction that

88
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: so many follow. Find comfort in his sovereignty, knowing he

89
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: is the King of kings and his rule can never

90
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: be overthrown. Bree then and out slowly. Imagine His protection

91
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: surrounding you, keeping you secure as you rest through the night.

92
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: Think of a time when your circumstances or the circumstances

93
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: in this world, made you fearful and kept you from God.

94
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: Confess where you have allowed fear to hinder your relationship

95
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: with God. Lift your fears to Him so that he

96
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: can put them to rest tonight. Take a deep breath

97
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: and be filled with his grace. As you breathe out.

98
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Let go of your guilt and shame. Surrender to God's

99
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: love and find inner peace and rest. Praise Him for

100
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: taking your fears and helping you find rest. Praise Him

101
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: for your salvation and how he has changed your life.

102
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: Praise Him for the good things He is doing in

103
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: your life. Think of someone you know who is struggling

104
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: with fear due to what's happening in this world. Pray

105
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 2: God will help them put their trust in Him and
