29
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: power of God. Reflect on his righteousness and justice that

30
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: firmly establishes his throne. Think about his power that shakes

31
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: the earth and consumes his enemies. Know his power delivers

32
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: you from your troubles and sustains you through the night.

Speaker 2: to receive God's word. Take a deep breath, Exhale slowly

38
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: and release the tension in your muscles. Relax your neck

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,400

47
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: from the King James version says, the Lord reigneth, Let

48
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: the earth rejoice, Let the multitude of isles be glad.

49
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: Thereof clouds and darkness are round about him, righteousness and judgement,

50
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: and are the habitation of his throne. A fire goeth

51
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: before him and burneth up his enemies. Round about His

52
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: lightnings enlightened the world. The earth saw and trembled, the

53
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord.

54
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

55
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 2: The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see

56
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: his glory. Confounded, be all that serve graven images, that

57
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: boast themselves of idols, worship him. All ye gods Zion

58
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced

59
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: because of thy judgments, O Lord, For thou Lord art

60
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: high above all the earth. Thou art exalted, far above

61
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 2: all gods. Ye that love the Lord, hate evil. He

62
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: preserveth the souls of his saints. He delivereth them out

63
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for

64
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice

65
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: in the Lord, ye righteous, and give thanks at the

66
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: remembrance of His holiness, The Bible tells us. Nature reveals

67
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: the glory and the power of its creator. The lightning

68
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: flashes his brilliance and strength as it lights up the

69
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: world and causes the earth to tremble. The mountains display

70
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: his majesty and power as they stand firm and strong

71
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: over the earth, but melt away in his presence. The

72
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: fire demonstrates his sovereignty as it consumes his enemies by

73
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: day and guides his people by night. Know the same

74
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: power that sends bolts of lightning across the sky, that

75
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: forms and moves mountains, and that sets the fire a

76
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: Blaine is the same power protecting you and preserving you. Tonight,

84
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 2: like your spouse or a child. It could be a

85
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: job or a hobby. Confess any idols you have worshiped

86
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: in your life. Ask for his forgiveness, Ask for him

87

103
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: from evil. Pray his light will guide your steps in

104
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: the darkness of our world. Pray for God to lead
