[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you are excited today because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice of praise. Praise him and thank Him. Be joyful. I've done this teaching this morning probably five times. I don't know what is going on. I can't get through covers, can't get through reading it. But over the weekend I was going through Psalms and I don't know why, I was never really big into psalms, but I. All of a sudden it's starting to open up and I'm starting to see things because I'm starting to relate. It's called gco, Experiential learning. And I'm starting to experience things in life. And then all of a sudden when I read it in the Word and in accounts of the men of God, I start to see the similarities and how they're. They went through the same things that I'm going through.
And once you read the Word a lot, and I mean you got to read it a lot, you'll start to see God starts opening up this stuff and it's just. It blesses me because it just continually builds my faith, which is believing specifically in what you hear. I believe the Word, I believe what it says. And the more you read it, the more you start to see these things happen in your life, the more it builds your faith for sure. But I was reading this morning in Psalms chapter 144, and I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this because like I said, I've tried it a couple, you know. 1:44, verse 9, it says, I will sing a new song unto thee, O God, upon a sultry and an instrument of 10 strings will I sing praises unto thee. It is he that giveth salvation or safety or preservation unto kings who delivereth David's David, his servant, from the hurtful sword. It is God that giveth safety.
Here we go. Safety and salvation. He preserves kings, he preserves his people. The people in charge. God protects them. It's God. Verse 11. Rid me and deliver me from the hand of a strange. Of strange children. And this is anyone who wasn't Hebrew. Rid me of them whose mouth speaketh vanity. And their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. It was the people that were Uplifting they were keeping in a place of honor. Falsehood, lies, deceit. Verse 12. In order that rhythm of the land. In order that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth. That our daughters may be a cornerstone polished after the similitude of a palace. I love this because the heart of David, the King of Israel was the heart to have their young men be grown up as like a youth of a plan. And I love the visual of this. If you've ever seen a little small baby of a plant, it's green, it's vital, it's ready to rock and roll. He wanted the children, the men, the young children to be like that, ready to rock and roll, build up. I mean, I can't explain if you have to be around plants to understand this.
They are. They're ready man protected. And that's what he wanted for his children, the way we want it for our children. That our daughters may be as cornerstones polished after the multitude of a palace. Cornerstones are what you put the entire weight of a building on.
Strong, polished, protected. Verse 13. That our garners and these are granaries may be full, affording all manner of store. He wanted their barns to be bursting. Think about this as a country. Their kids protected the barns bursting. The storehouse is bursting. That our sheep may bring forth tens of thousands and tens of thousands in our streets. He wanted abundance.
Verse 14. That our oxen may be strong to labor and that there be no breaking in them as in they don't stop, they continue working nor going out. And there be no complaining in our streets.
This is what a. A someone who's in charge. This is what his heart was for the people of Israel. This is the same heart I believe that we have as parents as need as well. I'm not a parent. I'm a. As a. As an uncle, as a leader. You want the best for your people. Verse 15. Happy is that people that is in such a case. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the Lord and this is Jehovah.
When a nation turns to God, happy is that people. The young men are planted.
[00:04:43] Speaker B: The. The. The.
[00:04:44] Speaker A: The women, the young. The young women are grabbed, they're stoned out, they're hewn out there you can put weight on them. They're the corner of the building that the. The. The storehouses be filled. That there be no complaining in the streets. This is what God does when you turn to him as a nation. I want to quickly finish up with this. If you jump over to Matthew, chapter 6, verse 22. The light of the body is the eye. If, therefore, thine eyes be single and clear, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thy eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If, therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness? No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches.
You can't serve God in riches. And it's up to us to decide who we're serving. You got to stay focused on God and the blessings of God will come. Pray the big prayers today. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, you pray to God, not to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a beautiful day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:17] Speaker C: Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for what you do for me. I'm thankful for just protecting my family and for the riches that you've. You've provided us as far as what we eat, what we drink, just what we're surrounded by. I thank you again for your word and how much of a blessing it is and how it keeps me on track. I thank you for your son, that he died for us, that we can live spiritually and not by the law. And, yeah, I just continually thank you to bless our country and to bless.
[00:06:48] Speaker A: Those people in it.
[00:06:48] Speaker C: And I thank you for the things that you do for us constantly. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
[00:06:54] Speaker A: It.
