1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed,

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: But my kindness shall not depart from thee. Neither shall

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: the covenant of my peace be removed. Saith the Lord

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: that hath mercy on thee Isaiah fifty four ten. Dear Lord,

5
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: we come to you today with a sense of loneliness

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: in our hearts. The world can be a confusing and

7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: difficult place, full of challenges and uncertainties. But even amidst

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: all this chaos, your kindness shines brightly like the morning star.

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: You always have a plan to bring us through any trial.

10
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: We thank you for the stability found in your everlasting word.

11
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Help us to remember that nothing in this world will

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: last forever, but you and your kindness will remain every day,

13
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: no matter how hard the journey, Your love will never cease.

29
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: verse ten from the King James version. For the mountains

30
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness

31
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: shall not depart from thee. Neither shall the covenant of

32
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: my peace be removed. Saith the Lord that have mercy

33
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 2: on thee. Take a moment and pour out your love

34
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: your adoration to God. God to praise you, for you

35
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: are not a man that should lie. All your words

36
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: are true, and you never go back on your promises.

37
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: I worship you for you are a God of covenant. Jesus,

38
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: I praise you, for my righteousness is found in you.

39
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: You relentlessly pursue me and you never give up on me.

40
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: I adore you, King of my heart. God's love is irrevocable.

41
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Our God is a covenant keeping God, and he promised

42
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: to love us forever. His relationship with us is not

43
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: based on the time we live, in the place we

44
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: find ourselves in, or the physical geology of the earth

45
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: around us. The entire earth will burn, a new heaven

46
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: and new earth will come down. We will be in

47
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: new bodies in God's love for us will endure. Sometimes

48
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: we base our lives on things that seem sure and certain,

49
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: but only God is our rock in our strong tower.

50
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: There's no mountain, hill or fortress in which we can

51
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: trust more than then we can trust in His love

52
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 2: for us. God desires to do kindness toward us. He

53
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: wants to give you peace. Steady your weak knees, give

54
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: you rest. His promise of love and relationship will never

55
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: be broken. There is no universe in which God will

56
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: just stop loving you. God, in his mercy, has based

57
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: his covenant on himself, for he never changes, and in

58
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: him there is no shadow of turning. Even if you're unfaithful,

59
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: God never will be. Is your opportunity then to cleanse

60
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: your heart be honest with yourself and with God in prayer.

61
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: Confess your sins to him. Tell him of the areas

62
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: that you're struggling with. Now, think for a moment on

63
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: all the times God showed himself faithful, those moments where

64
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: God placed someone in your life to show you kindness,

65
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: The times of chaos when you found peace in Christ,

66
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: situations where oppression and isolation threatened to overwhelm you, but

67
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit comforted you. Thank God for past situations

68
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: when He reached out to you, when He removed your

69
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: heaviness and your weariness. Thank God because His love is

70
00:05:51,920 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: eternal and he will always be there for you. I

71
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: hope you know that God is present and that He's

72
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: listening to you. God never said we would not be lonely.

73
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: Quite the opposite. He promised that at times we would

74
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: be abandoned by those we loved. Don't allow this to

75
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: discourage you. God promised he would always welcome you. The

76
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit is on your side and he wants to

77
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: help you, So be bold and ask him. Ask the

78
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit to speak to you through God's word. Ask

79
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: him to help you understand and process the Bible when

80
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: you read it, you trusting his promises. Ask Jesus to

81
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: speak to your heart for you desire to know him more.

82
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: I remember, God's love will never disappear. His promise of

83
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: peace will not come to an end. The mountains and

84
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: hills may fall, but the love of God will not fail.

85
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 2: So don't fear. God has good things for your life.

86
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: Trusting God and the power and promise of his word.

87
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: And don't forget God is in your corner. He's for you.
