Psalm 53 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 3: ninety three from the King James version says, the Lord reigneth. 54 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: He is clothed with majesty. The Lord is clothed with strength, 55 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 3: wherewith he hath girded himself. The world also is established 56 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old, 57 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: Thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, o Lord. 58 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 3: The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift 59 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: up their waves. The Lord on High is mightier than 60 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: the noise of many waters. Yea than the mighty waves 61 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 3: of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure. Holiness becometh 62 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: thine house, O Lord, Lord forever. Reflect on the creation 63 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: of the world. Think about the power that brought the 64 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 3: world into its existence and established it so that it 65 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 3: cannot be moved. Think about the mighty seas that roar 66 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: and rage throughout the day and night. Know the same 67 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: power that established the world is the same power that 68 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: establishes your steps, keeping you safe and secure through the night. 69 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 3: Take a deep breath. Allow the Lord's strength to fill 70 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: your lungs. Exhale slowly and feel his strength flow to 71 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: every bone, every muscle in your body, restoring you and 72 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 3: rejuvenating you as you rest in him. Close your eyes 73 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: and visualize the Lord as your king, clothed with majesty, 74 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: reining over all the earth, reining over your life. Know 75 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: in his power and strength he can strike down the 76 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: storms that threaten to overtake you. Take a deep breath. 77 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: As your chest rises, Picture the waves of the seas 78 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: rising against you. Listen to the pounding of the waves 79 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: as they crash back and forth. Exhale slowly and feel 80 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: the Lord's mighty hands strike down the waters. Hear his 81 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: thundering voice over the roar of the mighty seas. Breathe 82 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: in and out slowly, and find comfort in the strength 83 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: of the Lord. Think of a time when you buckled 84 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 3: under pressure and abandon the ways of the Lord. Ask 85 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: for his forgiveness. Ask for him to make your steps 86 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 3: firm and secure, just like he did with the foundation 87 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: of the world. Breathe in his holiness. Breathe out your 88 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: sin and shame. In his strength, you can stand firm 89 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: in the face of temptation. In his power, you can 90 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: overcome sin and death. Rejoice in the power and strength 91 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: of the Lord. Thank him for the times he has 92 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 3: protected you from the storm. Thank him for the times 93 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: he has delivered you with his mighty hands. Thank him 94 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: for his salvation that is secure in his righteousness. Think 95 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: of a person who needs God's strength to sustain them 96 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: during a difficult time. Pray God will satisfy them with 97 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: his provision and protection. Pray God will turn their heart 98 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: to him so they can experience his comfort and peace. 99 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: Cast your anxieties on the Lord, for he cares for you, 100 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 3: and his power is strong enough to relieve your fears 101 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 3: and worries. Pray God will help you follow his commands. 102 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: Pray God will help you be holy because He is holy. 103 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: Pray God will keep you in his perfect peace in 104 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: the middle of life storms. Pray you can experience deep, 105 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: RESTful sleep, no matter what darkness surrounds you. Pray God 106 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 3: will protect you with his mighty hands as you sleep. 107 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 3: Pray you can rest safely and securely in Him through 108 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 3: the night. Breathe in and out slowly. Put your trust 109 00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 3: in the Almighty God who never changes.
