1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth,

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: the sea, and all that in them is, and rested

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: on the seventh day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: day and hallowed it Exodus twenty eleven. Lord, for six

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: days you were busy creating heaven and earth and all

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: that is within them. That is a lot of creating.

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: On the seventh day, you stood back and rested in

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: appreciation for all you've accomplished. There is a satisfaction that

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: comes from a job well done. It's important to enjoy

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: what we have created with our hands and be satisfied.

11
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Help me know when to work and be productive and

12
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: when to stand back and be happy with what I

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: have done. Help me rest in the satisfaction of productivity

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: instead of anticipating what else I need to do. Teach

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: me to enjoy what I have done. Amen. Thank you

28
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: from the King James version. Cease from anger and forsake wrath.

29
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. Take

30
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: a moment to pour out your adoration to God. Worthy

31
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: are you, o, Lord and God, to receive glory and

32
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: honor and power. For you created all things, and by

33
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: your will they existed and were created. All the earth

34
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: worships you and sings praises to you. They sing praises

35
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: to your name. So I will sing of your strength.

36
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I will sing of your steadfast love in the morning.

37
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Don't be angry. It only leads to evil. I know

38
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: what you may be thinking. This is easier said than done,

39
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: and you would be correct in your assumption. However difficult

40
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: this may seem, it is imperative that you do so.

41
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: Letting go of anger and aggression can be brutal, but

42
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: doing so will always bring you blessings and peace. Perhaps

43
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: you've been struggling with anger. Perhaps there have been moments

44
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: in your life where wrath one over patience, situations where

45
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: resentment and an ill temper got the best of you.

46
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: Present yourself before God in this moment. Tell him of

47
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: the times your ire overcame your good will. Confess these

48
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: hardships to God because He cares for you. Now take

49
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: just a few minutes to dwell on the patience of

50
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: God towards your life. Thank Him because his patience is

51
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: never exhausted. Thank God because his anger towards sins is

52
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 1: short lived. Think of past situations where your rage was great,

53
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: but God ministered serenity into your heart. Thank God for

54
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: those past experiences and future ones to come. Thank the

55
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit for empowering you to let go of anger.

56
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: Thank God that His love works in your heart, increasing

57
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: your self control more and more. Thank Him because his

58
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: plans for you are good and better than you could imagine.

59
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: God is present and he is listening to you. Stopping

60
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: your anger in its tracks is a difficult daily task.

61
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: With each new day you are presented with new challenges.

62
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: Seek God today and ask him to speak control over

63
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: your emotions. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you strength

64
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: to overcome anger to day, to take your steps into

65
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: goodness and not evil. Ask the Holy Spirit for help

66
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: in controlling the choices you make, and to bless those choices.

67
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: God delights in blessing you. He wants to give you

68
00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: peace eternal. Remember you should refrain from anger and give

69

Speaker 1: up rage. Anger only brings evil, So remove anger from

70
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: your heart, your mind, and your thoughts. Trust in the

71
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: truth of God's word that he knows what's best for you.

72
