The best life is yet to come, that
is true.
The best life is yet to come.
The life here is the most difficult time.
It's true.
It's not true.
The life here is probably the best time
we will experience.
We should not have a reason not to
be thankful.
God has saved us.
And opened our eyes that we could see
and understand the truth.
By the way, we can't do that unless
God opens our eyes and helps us, gives
us understanding.
We really can't do that on our own.
So, praise the Lord.
He is good to us and has been
good to us.
And will be good to us as we
go through this life.
So, praise the Lord.
Well, like I said, most of our leaders
here are gone, so here I am.
But I'm thankful.
You know, the Lord is faithful.
The word of God is true.
And we can trust the Lord.
If we stick to the word of God,
He will give us something to say that
is true and that is right.
And that is helpful and that encourages people.
So, I'm thankful.
I'm thankful for that this morning.
And I just want to ask the Lord
to be with us.
So, Father, we thank you this morning.
Thank you, Lord God, that you care for
each one of us, Lord.
We thank you that you are here in
our midst.
We trust you for that.
We trust you for your spirit this morning.
Minister your word, Father, to each one of
us.
God, that our hearts could be opened and
receive what you have for us today.
Father, I pray that you would take control,
Lord God, and feed your people this morning
here.
Thank you for that.
And I trust you in Jesus' name.
Amen.
So, Jerry called me Friday night and said
that his plans that he had for today
are not working.
And it will be up to me, I
guess, to take care of things.
I don't want to be in the way.
I just want the Lord to take care
of things here this morning.
If he can use me in some way,
praise the Lord.
I want to be willing to do that.
I thought this morning that we would go
to the Old Testament in Exodus.
And I want to talk about when the
law came to Moses in Exodus 24 in
verse 12.
It says, And the Lord said unto Moses,
Come up to me into the mount and
be there.
And I will give thee tables of stone
and a law and commandments which I have
written, that thou mayest teach them.
And Moses rose up and he ministered to
Joshua.
And Moses went up into the mount of
God.
And he said unto the elders, Carry ye
here for us until we come again unto
you.
And behold, Aaron and Ur are with you.
If any man have any matters to do,
let him come unto them.
And Moses went up into the mount, and
a cloud covered the mount.
And the glory of the Lord abode about
Mount Sinai.
And a cloud covered it six days.
Something that happens to us pretty easily, I
think, is we don't always want to wait
to hear from the Lord.
And I was amazed when I read this.
God called Moses to go up on the
mountain, and he was going to speak to
him.
And here, the cloud covered the mountain, and
Moses was up there for six days.
Six days.
That's pretty long.
Just go up on a mountain and be
in the cloud for six days.
And if you've ever been to a place
where there's real high mountains, sometimes the clouds
come down and cover the top of the
mountain.
And when you go up there, you're actually
in the cloud.
And it gets pretty, you can't see very
far.
There's not much there.
You can't do a whole lot.
But here Moses is up there for six
days.
It says, And then on the seventh day
he called unto Moses out of the midst
of the cloud, and the sight of the
glory of the Lord was like devouring fire
on the top of the mountain in the
eyes of the children of Israel.
And Moses went into the midst of the
cloud and got him up in the mount,
and Moses was in the mount forty days
and forty nights.
Wow.
And then God spake to Moses and for
the next seven chapters, God has given Moses
direction and instructions.
And it's very interesting actually to read that
and see what, if you haven't read that
recently, it's very interesting to read that.
Just do them seven chapters and see what
all God told Moses and how to do
things in very detail.
Very detailed about different things, about building the
tabernacle and all the things that he wanted
Moses to do.
So we're not going to read all that.
So we'll go to the end of chapter
31.
Exodus 31.
Actually, I'll start at verse 12.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak
thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,
Verily, my Sabbath ye shall keep, for it
is a sign between me and you throughout
your generations, that ye may know that I
am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it
is holy unto you.
Everyone that defiles it shall surely be put
to death.
For whosoever doth any work therein, that soul
shall be cut off from among his people.
Six days may work be done, but in
the seventh is the Sabbath of rest.
Holy to the Lord, whosoever doth any work
in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be
put to death.
Wherefore, the children of Israel shall keep the
Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations,
for a perpetual covenant.
It is a sign between me and the
children of Israel forever.
For in six days the Lord made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he
rested and was refreshed.
Then 18, And he gave unto Moses, when
he had made end of commuting with him
upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables
of stone written with the finger of God.
Now God gives Moses the Ten Commandments written
in stone, after all that he has said.
And chapter 32, And when the people saw
that Moses delayed to come down from the
mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron,
and said unto him, Up, make us gods,
which shall go before us.
For as for this Moses, the man that
brought us up out of the land of
Egypt, we want not what has become of
him.
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the
golden earrings that are in the ears of
your wives, and your sons, and your daughters,
and bring them unto me.
And all the people break off the golden
earrings which were in their ears, and brought
them unto Aaron.
And he received them at their hand, and
fashioned it with a grading tool, after he
had made a molten calf.
After he had made a molten calf.
And they said, These be thy gods, O
Israel, which brought thee out of the land
of Egypt.
And when Aaron saw it, he built an
altar before it.
And Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is
a feast of the Lord.
And they rose up early on tomorrow, and
offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings.
And the people sat down to eat, and
to drink, and rose up to play.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get
thee down, for thy people, which thou broughtest
out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
themselves.
They have turned aside quickly out of the
way which I commanded them.
They have made them a molten calf, and
have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto.
And said, These be thy gods, O Israel,
which have brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt.
And the Lord said unto Moses, I have
seen this people, and behold, it is a
stiff-necked people.
Now therefore, let me alone, that my wrath
may wax hot against them, and that I
may consume them, and I will make of
thee a great nation.
So, here's Moses.
He'd been up on the mountain for 40
days and 40 nights with God.
And God had ministered to him, given many,
many instructions.
And then at the end, He gave him
the tables of stone, the Ten Commandments.
And what's the very first one?
Somebody know what the first commandment is on
the Ten Commandments?
The very first one, Thou shalt have no
other gods before me.
And God had just wrote this on stone
in front of Moses.
And then God says, Moses, step back.
I'm going to destroy the people.
And what does Moses say?
And Moses besought the Lord his God and
said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot
against thy people, which thou hast brought forth
out of the land of Egypt with great
power and with a mighty hand?
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak and say, For
mischief did he bring them out to slay
them in the mountain and to consume them
from the face of the earth.
Turn from thy fierce wrath and repent of
this evil against thy people.
Isn't that amazing?
Here's Moses speaking to God.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to
whom thou swearest by thine own self, and
sayeth unto them, I will multiply your seed
as the stars of heaven.
And all this land that I have spoken
of will I give unto your seed, and
they shall inherit it forever.
The Lord is reminding him what he has
promised to the children of Israel.
And then in verse 14, And the Lord
repented of the evil which he thought to
be unto his people.
I just think that's amazing.
It just amazes me the heart of Moses
after being with the Lord 40 days and
the Lord literally writing these things on the
stone.
And then the heart of Moses.
And I said that to a brother one
time, and he said, Well, he thinks the
reason Moses was so forgiving and gentle was
because he had just spent 40 days with
the Lord.
Isn't that amazing?
You think clearly he was with the Lord,
and the Lord had clearly given him in
all his direction and instruction.
And then written this on stone, and you
would think Moses is just going to say,
You need to destroy him.
That's it.
But really the time spent with the Lord
melted Moses' heart, and he was merciful, I
believe.
And I think that's the way it is
for us.
The Lord is tender, and he melts our
hearts.
And if we want to be in the
Spirit and have the fruits of the Spirit,
we need to spend time with the Lord,
and he will bring them fruits out of
us.
But it's amazing to read that and just
see what Moses did there and how the
Lord repented of the evil which he thought
to do unto his people.
But you know he's done that for us.
He's done that for us.
If you've been born again, if you've cried
out to the Lord and the Lord has
cleansed you, and set you free from sin,
and made you holy and unblameable and unapprovable
before God, what does God do?
He repents of what he was going to
do to you.
Isn't that amazing?
I think it's amazing.
Because if we don't, if we don't turn
to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord has
no choice but to destroy us.
But if we repent and turn to the
Lord, he will repent of what he was
going to do to us.
Praise God.
Praise the Lord.
And Moses turned and went down from the
mount, and the two tables of testimony were
in his hand, and the tables were on
the side, were on both sides, both their
sides, and on the one side and on
the other, they were written.
And the tables were the work of God,
and the writing was the writing of God,
raven upon tables.
And when Joshua heard the noise of the
people as they shouted, he said unto Moses,
There is a noise of war in the
camp.
And he said, It is not the voice
of them that shout for mastery, neither is
it the voice of them that cry for
being overcome, but the noise of them that
sing do I hear.
And it came to pass, as soon as
he came nigh unto the camp, that he
saw the calf and the dancing, and Moses'
anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables
out of his hands and broke them beneath
the mount.
And he took the calf which they had
made and burned it in the fire and
ground it to powder, and strewed it upon
the water and made the children of Israel
drink it.
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this
people unto thee that thou hast brought so
great a sin upon them?
And we could keep reading there, but we
don't need to do that.
But if we go to verse 27 or
26, Then Moses stood in the gate of
the camp and said, Who is on the
Lord's side?
Let them come unto me, and all the
sons of Levi gather themselves together unto him.
And he said unto them, Dost sayeth the
Lord God of Israel, Put every man his
sword by his side and go in and
out from gate to gate throughout the camp
and slay every man his brother and every
man his companion and every man his neighbor.
And the children of Levi did according to
the word of the Lord, the word of
Moses.
And there fell of the people that day
about three thousand men.
So because of what they had done, many
people did die.
So there was a penalty that was brought
upon them.
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to
the Lord, even every man upon his son
and upon his brother, and he may bestow
upon you a blessing this day.
Now if we go to chapter 33.
Chapter 33 and verse 12.
And Moses said unto the Lord, See thou
sayest unto me, Bring up this people, and
thou hast not let me know whom thou
wilt send with me.
Yet thou hast said, I know thee by
name, and thou hast also found grace in
my sight.
Now therefore I pray thee, Moses says, If
I have found grace in thy sight, show
me now thy way, that I may know
thee, and I may find grace, that I
may find grace in thy sight, and consider
that this nation is thy people.
And he said, My presence shall go with
thee, and I will give thee rest.
And Moses said, And he said unto him,
If thy presence go not with me, carry
me not up hence.
You see what just happened there.
God said to Moses, My presence shall go
with thee, and I will give thee rest.
And Moses says unto him, If thy presence
go not with me, carry me not up
hence.
So in other words, if you don't go
with me, I don't want to go, Moses
said.
Verse 16, For wherein shall it be known
here, that I and thy people who have
found grace in thy sight, is it not
in that thou goest with us, is it
not in that thou goest with us, Moses
said, that God with them, the presence of
God with them, is what shows that they
have found grace in his sight.
Then it says, So shall we be separated,
I and thy people, from all the people
that are upon the face of the earth.
What is he saying?
Moses said, If you don't go with me,
I don't want to go.
And if you go with us, doesn't that
show the people that we have grace in
your sight?
And, you going with us is what separates
us from all the other people on the
earth.
Isn't that amazing?
Think about that a little bit.
We can do a lot of things to
try to be different from all the rest
of the people in the world.
We'll try to, whatever, we can do whatever,
to try to be different.
But you know what makes us different?
The presence of God with us.
That makes us different.
That's what makes us different.
You want to be different?
That's how you're different.
Spend time with the Lord.
Let the Spirit of God fill you and
walk with God and you will be different.
You will be different.
That is what will make you different.
And the Lord said unto Moses, I will
do this thing also that thou hast spoken,
for thou hast found grace in my sight,
and I know thee by name.
And he said, I will make all my
goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim
the name of the Lord before thee, and
will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious, and I will show mercy on whom
I will show mercy.
And he said, Thou canst not see my
face, for there shall no man see me
and live.
And the Lord said, Behold, there is a
place by me, and thou shalt stand upon
a rock, and it shall come to pass
while my glory passes by that I will
put thee on a cliff of the rock
and will cover thee with my hand while
I pass by, and I will take away
my hand and thou shalt see my back,
and my face shall not be seen.
What a blessing.
Chapter 34.
I'm just doing a lot of reading.
I hope that's okay.
I thought it was interesting.
And also, if I'm reading the word of
God, I'm not telling you something wrong.
I can be assured.
Chapter 34.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee
two tables of stone like unto the first,
and I will write upon these tables the
words that were in the first tables, which
thou breakest.
And be ready in the morning and come
up in the morning unto Mount Sinai and
present thyself there to me in the top
of the mount.
And no man shall come up with thee,
neither let any man be seen throughout all
the mount, neither let the flocks nor the
herds feed before the mount.
And he hewed two tables of stone like
unto the first.
And Moses rose up early in the morning
and went up into Mount Sinai, as the
Lord had commanded him, and took in his
hand the two tables of stone.
And the Lord descended in the cloud and
stood with him there and proclaimed the name
of the Lord.
And the Lord passed by before him and
proclaimed the Lord, O God, merciful and gracious,
long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth,
keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression
and sin, and that will by no means
clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children and upon the children's
children unto the third and fourth generation.
And Moses made haste and bowed his head
toward the earth and worshiped.
And he said, If now I have found
grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my
God, I pray thee, go among us, for
it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon
our iniquity and our sin and take us
for thine inheritance.
And the Lord said, Behold, I make a
covenant before all of thy people.
I will do marvels such as have not
been done in all the earth nor in
any nation, and all the people among which
thou art shall see the work of the
Lord, for it is a terrible thing that
I will do with thee.
Praise the Lord.
The Lord made a covenant there with Moses
to be with them and use them for
his kingdom.
Praise God, and he wants to do that
to us.
He wants to do that to us.
Now also, if we go back to Exodus
25, when the Lord
gave Moses the commandments again, they put them
in the ark, or in a ark, I
should say.
And in chapter 25, verse 10, it tells
us how they made the ark.
I thought that was interesting too.
In Exodus 25, verse 10, And they shall
make an ark of shiddom wood.
Two cubits and a half shall be the
length thereof, and a cubit and a half
the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a
half the height thereof.
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold,
within and without shalt thou overlay it, and
shall make upon it a crown of gold
round about.
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold
for it, and put them on the four
corners thereof, and two rings shall be in
the one side of it, and two rings
in the other side of it.
And thou shalt make staves of shiddom wood,
and overlay them with gold, and thou shalt
put the staves into the rings by the
sides of the ark, that the ark may
be born with them.
And the staves shall be in the rings
of the ark, and they shall not be
taken from it.
So if you can kind of picture what
they did, what they made there, this box,
and they covered everything with gold, and then
they put rings on the side, and then
they made staves to go through the rings,
that people could grab ahold of the staves
and carry it.
And then this was where they put the
Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments were in this ark.
And if you, which I didn't read all
of it, but if you read a lot
of the stories here, it was very important
for them to have the ark in their
presence, and it was the presence of God
with them.
So if we go to 1 Samuel, 1
Samuel in chapter 4, I just want to
give a little picture here.
In chapter 4, verse 11, actually in this
chapter, the Philistines came and took the ark
from the children of Israel.
They came in and they took over and
took the ark from the children of Israel.
And the ark of God was taken, it
says in verse 11, in 1 Samuel chapter
4.
And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and
Benihas, were slain.
And there ran a man from Benjamin out
of the army and came to Shiloh and
said, the same day, with his clothes rent
and with earth upon his head.
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon
his seat by the wayside watching, for his
heart trembled for the ark of God.
And when he came into the city, they
told it, and told it, all the city
cried out.
And when Eli heard the noise of the
crying, he said, what meaneth the noise of
this tumult?
And the man came in hastily and told
Eli.
Now Eli was ninety and eight years old
and his eyes were dim and he could
not see.
And the man said unto Eli, I am
he that came out of the army and
I fled today out of the army.
And he said, what is there done, my
son?
And the messenger answered and said, Israel is
fled before the Philistines and there hath been
also a great slaughter among the people.
And thy two sons also, Hophni and Benihas,
are dead and the ark of God is
taken.
And it came to pass when he made
mention of the ark of God that he
fell off the seat backward by the side
of the gate and his neck break and
he died.
For he was an old man and heavy
and he had judged Israel forty years.
And then down in verse 22, Eli's daughter
-in-law, actually I think it is, and
she said, the glorious departed from Israel where
the ark of God is taken.
It came and they took the ark of
God with the Ten Commandments in it.
And the glory of God departed from the
children of Israel.
So it was very important for them to
have that ark with them.
Another thing that happened there in chapter 5
now, verse 1, and the Philistines took the
ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer
and Ashtar.
And when the Philistines took the ark of
God, they brought it into the house of
Dagon and set it by Dagon.
And Dagon was an idol that the Philistines
had made and set up as God and
they worshipped this idol.
So now they had overtaken the children of
Israel and got the ark with the Ten
Commandments and they took it over and brought
it into the place where this idol was.
Here sits the idol and they bring the
ark in and set it down beside it.
When the Philistines took the ark of God,
they brought it into the house of Dagon
and set it by Dagon.
And when they of Ashtar rose early in
the morning, in the morrow, behold, Dagon was
fallen upon his face to the earth before
the ark of the Lord.
And they took Dagon and set him in
his place again.
So here they brought the ark in with
the Ten Commandments, set it beside their idol.
And the next morning the idol had fallen
off of its seat, face down.
And when they arose early on the morrow
morning, this is the next day, behold, Dagon
was fallen upon his face to the ground
before the ark of the Lord.
And the head of Dagon and both palms
of his hands were cut off upon the
threshold.
Only the stump of Dagon was left to
him.
Isn't that amazing?
Therefore neither the priest of Dagon nor any
that come into Dagon's house tread on the
threshold of Dagon at Ashtar until this day.
But the hand of the Lord, listen to
this, but the hand of the Lord was
heavy upon them of Ashtar, and he destroyed
them and smote them with emeralds, even Ashtar
and the coast thereof.
And when the men of Ashtar saw that
it was so, they said, The ark of
the God of Israel shall not abide with
us, for his hand is sore upon us
and upon Dagon our God.
So here they were worshiping another god.
They brought in the ark and God destroyed
their idol.
And then really destroyed them or came against
them.
And they decided they didn't want the ark
of God after all.
They decided they didn't want the presence of
God there because it was working against what
they were doing.
Very interesting.
So I just did that to kind of
give you a little bit of a picture.
If you read all that, we skipped a
lot.
If you read all that, it's very interesting
to read that.
There's another, 1 Chronicles Chapter 13.
1 Chronicles Chapter 13 is another incident here
where they were moving, and you're probably all
familiar with this story, but they were moving
the ark to a different place.
And this man named Uzzah was walking beside
the ark and had the ark on top
of Cal, two cattle.
And as they were walking along, Uzzah was
walking beside it, and the one cow stumbled,
and he just touched the ark with his
hand.
And just like that, he was killed.
And I often kind of feel sorry for
that guy because I could see a reaction
like that.
But that just shows the sacredness of the
ark and the Ten Commandments and all that
God was doing.
Just amazing.
Anyway, now let's go to the New Testament,
2 Corinthians.
2 Corinthians Chapter 3.
Verse 1, let's start reading.
Do we begin again to commend ourselves, or
need we as some others, epistles of commendation
to you or letters of commendation from you?
Ye are our epistle, written in our hearts,
known and read of all men.
For as much as ye are manifestly declared
to be the epistle of Christ, ministered by
us, written not with ink, but with the
spirit of the living God, not in tables
of stone, but in the fleshly tables of
the heart.
In such trust have we through Christ to
God written, not that we are sufficient of
ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but
our sufficiency is of God, who hath made
us able ministers of the New Testament, not
of the letter, but of the spirit.
For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life.
But if the ministration of death, written and
engraved in stones, was glorious.
And we just read all that.
Well, not all of it.
We just read some of that.
The administration of death, written and engraved in
stone, was glorious.
We've seen how glorious it was, and how
sacred it was.
But it was the administration of death.
And the reason was because it was the
law.
And the law shows us how we fail.
And it brings condemnation and death to us.
That's what happened.
So Paul is saying here, if the administration
of death, written and engraved in stones, was
glorious, so that the children of Israel could
not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for
the glory of his countenance, which glory was
to be done away, how shall not the
administration of the spirit be rather glorious?
Think about it.
If that was glorious, the administration of death,
of condemnation, was glorious.
How shall not the administration of the spirit
be much more glorious?
Isn't that amazing?
I think it's amazing.
And that's where we're living.
That's where we live.
That's where we are.
It's our turn.
Right?
If that was glorious, how shall not the
administration of the spirit be rather glorious?
For if the administration of condemnation be glory,
much more does the administration of righteousness exceed
in glory.
For even that which was made glorious had
no glory in this respect by reason of
the glory which excels.
For if that which was done away was
glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Much more.
Seeing then that we have such hope, seeing
then that we have such hope, we use
great plainness of speech.
The administration of the spirit, how much more
glorious is the time where we're living than
that?
That's what Paul says.
How much more?
How much more responsibility do we have now?
The coming of the spirit of God, the
coming of Christ, first of all, making the
way, opening the way for us.
Coming of Christ, opening the way for us
to cleanse our hearts, to cleanse us from
sin, the blood of Christ, the resurrection of
Christ, and then the ascension of Christ and
the coming of the Holy Spirit.
How much more glorious is that?
So we have a great responsibility.
We have a great responsibility upon us to
show forth the glory of God.
And that's what He wants to do in
each one of us.
That's what He wants to do.
Show forth the glory of God in each
one of us.
In Acts 17, verse 24, it says, God
made the world and all the things therein,
seeing that He is Lord of heaven and
earth, loveth not in temples made with hands.
Neither is worship with man's hands as though
he needed anything, seeing He giveth to all
life and breath and all things, and hath
made of one blood all nations of men
to dwell on all the face of the
earth, and hath determined the times before appointed
and the bounds of their habitation.
Why?
That they should seek the Lord, that we
should seek the Lord.
That's why He has us here.
He has given us life.
He has given us a time.
We're here now until He takes us home.
And He has given us the bounds of
our habitation, where we are.
Isn't that amazing?
We think we decide all these things.
Do we?
But God has given us life.
He's given us a time.
He's given us a place.
Why?
That they should seek the Lord, that we
should seek the Lord.
If happily they might feel after Him and
find Him, though He be not far from
every one of us, He's not far from
every one of us.
For in Him we live and move.
In Him we live.
He's the one that gives us life and
the ability to move.
In Him we live and move and have
our being because of Him.
As certain also of our own poets have
said, for we are also His offspring.
For as much then as we are the
offspring of God, we ought not to think
that the Godhead is like unto gold or
silver or stone, graven by art and men's
device.
In the times of this ignorance, God went
that, but now commandeth all men everywhere to
repent.
He commands us to repent.
Not to think that somehow we can use
our hands and we can build something and
God is impressed or something that we can
worship and use as an idol or any
of those kind of things.
But He wants us to repent and come
to Him and serve Him and be in
His presence.
And in His presence, guess what happens?
Idols fall.
In His presence, idols fall.
You just read that, right?
Things change in His presence.
Things change in us.
Praise the Lord.
It's not us, it's Him.
It's Him.
If we walk with Him, the presence of
God in us, how are we separated from
people, from the rest of the people in
the world?
Presence of God.
Presence of God in us changes us, makes
us different.
Idols fall.
Sin is overcome.
We bring glory to God to maybe walk
in His presence.
We need His presence.
We need God with us.
We need the Spirit of God filling us
that we can bring glory to Him.
Otherwise, we don't.
So here's our opportunity.
This is our time.
This is when we're here.
We have an opportunity to serve the Lord
and walk in the presence of God, bring
glory to Him.
Praise the Lord.
He promised to be with us.
I'm thankful.
Thankful.
Maybe surrender.
Maybe surrender ourselves to the Lord.
Seek the Lord.
Trust in Him.
Let Him go with us where we go.
And He will make us different than the
rest of the people in the world.
He will.
We can be a light.
Bring people to Him.
Praise God.
Well, I
guess we'll open it.
