Speaker 3: dot com. We will be meditating on Psalm ninety nine

42
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: this evening. Begin by relaxing your body. Sit in a

43
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: comfortable chair in a quiet place. Be sure to sit

44
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 3: straight up, using good posture, with your back straight and

45
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: your shoulders back. Rest your feet flat on the floor.

46
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: Rest your hands gently on your lap. Close your eyes

47
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: and take a deep breath. Exhale slowly and release the

48
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: stress and tension in your muscles. Quiet your mind by

49
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: focusing on God. Focus on his goodness, on his righteousness.

50
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: Remember God is the righteous judge that loves Jesus and

51
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: mercy and judges fairly. Trust he will always do what

52
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: is best for you. Take a deep breath, Ask God

53
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: to lift your burdens from to day. Exhale slowly, and

54
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: surrender your anxious thoughts to the Lord. With a calm

55
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: body and mind, you are ready to receive God's word.

56
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: Listen for his still small voice to speak to your heart.

57
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: Allow his song to fill your heart with joy and

58
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: peace as you prepare for rest.

59
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: To night.

60
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: Let's find comfort in knowing we can place our trust

61
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: in the Lord, because he is a perfectly just and

62
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: holy God. Psalm ninety nine from the King James's version says,

63
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: the Lord reigneth. Let the people tremble. He sitteth between

64
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: the cherabims. Let the earth be moved. The Lord is

65
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: great in Zion, and he is high above all the people.

66
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 3: Let them praise Thy great and terrible name, for it

67
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: is holy the King's strength. Also loveth judgment. Thou dost

68
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: establish equity. Thou executest judgment and righteousness. In Jacob, Exalt

69
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: ye the Lord our God, and worship at his footstool,

70
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: for he is holy. Moses and Aaron among his priests,

71
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: and Samuel among them that call his name. They called

72
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: upon the Lord, and he answered them. He spake unto

73
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 3: them in the cloudy pillar. They kept his testimonies and

74
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: the ordinance that he gave them. Thou answeredst them, O, Lord,

75
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: our God, Thou wast a god that forgavest them, though

76
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the Lord our God,

77
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: and worship at his holy hill. For the Lord our

78
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: God is holy. Meditate on the holiness of the Lord.

79
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: His goodness resounds throughout the heavens and the earth. Hear

80
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: the angels singing, Holy, Holy, Holy. Feel the nations tremble

81
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: and the earth shake at the sound of his name.

82
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: Rejoice in his great and awesome name. Feel the joy

83
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: of his salvation. Renew your spirit and comfort your soul.

84
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: Take a deep breath, lift up praises to the Lord.

85
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: Exhale slowly and submit to the Lord. For he is holy.

86
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: Take delight in his commands. Follow him unto his path

87
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: of life and righteousness that will lead you to a

88
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: quiet place where you can rest securely in him. Close

89
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: your eyes and envision a majestic mountain towering over all

90
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: the earth, filled with the holiness and splendor of the Lord.

91
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: Sit at the foot of his holy mountain and come

92
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 3: into the presence of the Lord. Take a deep breath

93
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: and lift your spirit to exalt the almighty King who

94
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: rules over the nations with his power and might. Breathe

95
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: out slowly and be comforted by his powerful presence.

96
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: To night.

97
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: Think of a time when you misused the Lord's name.

98
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: Confess the times when your words and actions did not

99
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 3: reflect his holiness. Ask him to help you say and

100
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: do what is right in his eyes. Take a deep breath.

101
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: Allow his forgiveness to wash over you. Find comfort in

102
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 3: his mercy. Breathe out slowly. Know he is a forgiving

103
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: God that uses your weaknesses and failures to transform you

104
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: into the likeness of his son. Rejoice in the holiness

105
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: of the Lord. Praise him for his justice and mercy.

106
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: Thank Him for the times he has forgiven you and

107
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: given you grace. Thank him for the prayers he has

108
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: answered in your life. Think of a person who needs

109
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: to trust God with a difficult situation in their life.

110
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: Pray they will turn to Him and ask for his help.

111
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: Pray they will put their trust in His sovereignty. Like

112
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: so many great people before us, we call upon the

113
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: Lord's name, and he will answer us. To night, call

114
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: on the Lord and lift your requests and wait expectantly

115
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: to hear from him. Pray God will help you with

116
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: an unfair situation. Pray he will intervene and bring his

117
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: justice and mercy to the situation. Pray God will help

118
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: you submit to him so that he can make your

119
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: paths straight. Pray he will lead you to a safe,

120
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: secure place where you can rest peacefully. To night, Breathe

121
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: in his holiness, Breathe out his praise. Take a deep,

122
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:48,359
Speaker 3: cleansing breath, be filled with the spirit of God. Exhale

123
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: slowly and allow him to rejuvenate your body, refresh your soul,

124
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: and renew your mind. With your next breath, feel his

125
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: love and peace flow throughout you. Feel his presence flow outward,

126
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: filling your room, keeping you warm and safe. Close your

127
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: eyes and rest in his tranquility.
