Relax your body. Relax your 46 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: neck and shoulders. Rest your hands gently by your side 47 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: or on your lap up. Make sure your back is 48 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: flat and straight. Take a deep breath through your nose. 49 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: Feel the air push through your lungs and into the 50 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 3: depths of your belly. Hold your breath for a few seconds. 51 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: Exhale slowly and feel the air flow throughout your body 52 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: as your belly receds. Close your eyes and imagine walking 53 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: through a beautiful, peaceful wooded area. Hear the birds chirping. 54 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: Hear the leaves rustling as the squirrels scurry across the ground. 55 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: Feel the gentle breeze blow through the trees, gently swaying 56 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 3: the tree branches back and forth. Take a deep, cleansing breath. 57 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: Feel the crisp, clean air rejuvenate your lungs. Exhale slowly, 58 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: and allow the air to restore your body as it 59 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: flows through every bone, muscle, and joint. Marvel at the 60 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 3: beauty of God's creation. Know the hands that created the 61 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 3: world and all its creatures are the same hands that 62 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: will sustain you and protect you every day and night. 63 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: Breathe in the life God, breathe into us. Breathe out 64 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 3: your fears and worries. Allow the presence of your Creator 65 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: to calm your mind and gladden your heart. To night, 66 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: as we prepare to listen to God's word, let's ask 67 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: him to fill our minds and hearts with his praise 68 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 3: and joy. May our meditation be pleasing to him. Psalm 69 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 3: one hundred and four from the King James version says, 70 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord, my God, 71 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: thou art very great. Thou art clothed with honor and majesty, 72 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: who coverest thyself with light as with a garment, who 73 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: stretchest out the heavens like a curtain, who layeth the 74 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: beams of his chambers and the waters, who maketh the 75 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind, 76 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: who maketh his angel spirits his ministers, a flaming fire, 77 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 3: who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should 78 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: not be removed forever. Thou coveredest it with the deep, 79 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: as with a garment. The waters stood above the mountains. 80 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: At thy rebuke, they fled. At the voice of thy thunder, 81 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: they hastened away. They go up by the mountains, They 82 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 3: go down by the valleys, unto the place which thou 83 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: hast founded for them. Thou hast set abound, that they 84 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: may not pass over, that they turn not again to 85 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the valleys 86 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: which run among the hills. They give drink to every 87 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: beast of the field. The wild asses quench their thirst. 88 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 3: By them. Shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, 89 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: which sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from 90 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: his chambers. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of 91 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: thy works. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, 92 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: and irv for the service of man, that he may 93 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: bring forth food out of the earth, and wine that 94 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make 95 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: his face shine, and bread which strengtheneth the man's heart. 96 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 3: The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the 97 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 3: cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted where the birds 98 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees 99 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: are her house. The high hills are a refuge for 100 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 3: wild goats, and the rocks for the conies. He appointed 101 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 3: the moon for seasons. The sun knoweth his going down. 102 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: Thou makest darkness, and it is night wherein all the 103 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: beasts of the forest do creep. Forth, the young lions 104 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 3: roar after their prey and seek their meat from God. 105 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 3: The sun ariseth. They gather themselves together and lay them 106 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 3: down in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work 107 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 3: and to his labor, until the evening. O Lord, how 108 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: manifold are thy works in wisdom hast thou made them all. 109 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: The earth is full of thy riches. So is this 110 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping, innumerable, both 111 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 3: small and great beasts. There go the ships. There is 112 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: the Leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein thee. 113 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 3: Wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their 114 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: meat in due season, that thou givest them. They gather. 115 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: Thou openest thine hand. They are filled with good. Thou 116 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 3: hidest thy face. They are troubled. Thou takest away their breath. 117 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: They die and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth 118 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: thy spirit. They are created, and thou renewest the face 119 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: of the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure forever. 120 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: The Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on 121 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 3: the earth, and it trembleth. He toucheth the hills, and 122 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long 123 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 3: as I live. I will sing praise to my God. 124 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 3: While I have my being. My meditation of Him shall 125 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: be sweet. I will be glad in the Lord. Let 126 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 3: the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let 127 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: the wicked be no more. Bless Thou the Lord, O 128 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 3: my soul. Bless ye the Lord. The Bible reminds us 129 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: God is not just the creator of the world, but 130 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: he is the provider and sustain her of all creation. 131 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: We can rely on Him to provide everything we need 132 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: for this life and for eternity.
