WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.439
 We're going to begin our worship just now by singing to God's praise.

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:11.460
 We're going to sing from Psalm 92 in the Scottish Psalter, Psalm 92, verse 1 to verse 6.

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:14.500
! We're going to sing this to the tune, The Bays of Harris.

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.960
 We're coming with thanksgiving to God, and it says here,

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:21.839
 To render thanks unto the Lord, it is a comely thing.

00:00:22.379 --> 00:00:25.719
 And to thy name, O thou, most high, do you praise aloud to sing.

00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.740
 Thy lovingkindness to show forth when shines the morning light.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.920
 And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure every night.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.939
 We'll stand to sing from verse 1 to 6 to God's praise.

00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:55.879
 To render thanks unto the Lord, it is a comely thing.

00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:10.879
 And to thy name, O thou, most high, do you praise aloud to sing.

00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:27.819
 Thy lovingkindness to show forth when shines the morning light.

00:01:27.819 --> 00:01:43.819
 And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure every night.

00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:59.819
 On Athens' ringed instrument upon the psaltery.

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:15.819
 And on the harp with solemn sound and great sweet melody.

00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:25.819
 For thy Lord, by thy mighty words,

00:02:25.819 --> 00:02:34.039
 Has made my heart bright glad.

00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:50.039
 And I will triumphed in the works which by thy hands were made.

00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:58.039
 How great Lord, by thy words,

00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:07.039
 Each thought of thine, the deep it is.

00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:15.039
 A British man, it knoweth not,

00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:23.239
 Those understand not this.

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:31.240
 When those land good and wicked have,

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:39.240
 Spring quickly up like grass,

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.240
 And work our children,

00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:47.240
 And work our children iniquity,

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:55.240
 To flourish all our peace.

00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.240
 Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer.

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.240
 Let us pray.

00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.240
 Our gracious Lord,

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.240
 We thank you for this day.

00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.240
 We thank you to be able to come,

00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.240
 Acknowledging thanksgiving to you anew.

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:16.240
 We thank you that there is this day set aside for that purpose of thanksgiving.

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.240
 For a particular reason,

00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.240
 For every good and perfect gift is from above,

00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.240
 As your word reminds us.

00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.240
 And we are thankful that as we look back over this year,

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.240
 We can see the provision that you have made for us,

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.240
 In so many different ways.

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:32.240
 Practically Lord,

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:33.240
 The food on our tables,

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.240
 The water,

00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.240
 The warmth of our homes,

00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.240
 All that we enjoy,

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.240
 And so often take for granted,

00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:40.240
 Lord,

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.240
 We thank you for every provision you make for us.

00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:44.240
 But above all,

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:44.240


00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:49.240
 We thank you for the promise of your constant companionship with us.

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.240
 That you are the one that we are to look to,

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.240
 The one that we are to give thanks to for all these things.

00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:57.240
 And today,

00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.240
 May you help us to be truly thankful for all that is ours,

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:06.240
 And especially all that is ours through Jesus Christ as our Lord.

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.240
 We pray that you will bless your word to us today,

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.240
 Bless us together as a people here,

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.240
 In all our homes and our families and our communities,

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.240
 Lord,

00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.240
 We ask that you will be near to us,

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.240
 Helping us,

00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.240
 Lord,

00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.240
 With all our different needs.

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.240
 We just ask for your spirit to be with us,

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.240
 To lead us and to guide us in all of these things,

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.240
 That you would lead us into your word and into your truth,

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.240
 That it would speak to us,

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.240
 And remind us,

00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:31.240
 Lord,

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.240
 Of all the reasons that we have,

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.240
 To look back and give thanks,

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.240
 To look at our present and give thanks,

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.240
 And to look to the future,

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.240
 And asking your blessing on all the days that lie ahead of us.

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.240
 So continue with us,

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:44.240
 Lord,

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.240
 We pray,

00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.240
 Bless us and keep us and pardon us,

00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.240
 And as we ask all these things in Jesus' precious name.

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.240
 Amen.

00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.240
 Just a wee word to the young ones.

00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.240
 Some of you may be going out to the holiday tweenies in a minute,

00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:58.240
 But if not,

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.240
 You'll be staying in the service as well.

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.240
 It's good to have you here.

00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:02.240
 I know it's holiday weekend,

00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.240
 So there's a number of people traveling away as well.

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.240
 Those who have been able to get away because of the ferries not sailing

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:09.240
 And things like that,

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.240
 The different weather situations,

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:13.240
 It's been hard for many people.

00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:17.240
 And sometimes when we're coming to give thanks to God,

00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.240
 It can seem quite strange to give thanks when there's so many things going on

00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.240
 That are maybe wrong in the world,

00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.240
 Or sad in the world,

00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:29.240
 Or making us feel as if things just aren't going our way.

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:34.240
 But that's why it's so important for us to come to God's word,

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.240
 And to read God's word together,

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:40.240
 And to remind ourselves that God is so precious to us.

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.240
 And that when we have him,

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.240
 We have so much to be thankful for.

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.240
 A couple of weeks ago,

00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.240
 There was a partial that came to the manse.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.240
 It wasn't a big partial,

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.240
 It was a box,

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:54.240
 That wide,

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.240
 Not very deep.

00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.240
 And on the front of the box,

00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.240
 It said flowers.

00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.240
 So it was a flower delivery.

00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.240
 Now if you're used to getting flower deliveries to your house,

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.240
 Maybe some of you are,

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:07.240
 You get flowers,

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.240
 They come,

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.240
 But very often they'll come maybe in a big bouquet,

00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:12.240
 So you can see them immediately.

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:13.240
 But this was a box,

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.240
 And it said flowers.

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.240
 You think,

00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.240
 It doesn't look very big.

00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.240
 What's going to be inside this box?

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:22.240
 And the box was opened,

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:22.240


00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:23.240
 The box wasn't for me,

00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:24.240
 But the person it was for,

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.240
 They opened the box,

00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.240
 And inside was a bunch of flowers.

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.240
 And first reactions to think,

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.240
 The flowers are dead.

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.240
 They just looked as if they had died.

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.240
 They just looked as if they were withering away in this box.

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.240
 And you're thinking,

00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:42.240
 Oh man,

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:43.240
 The poor person who sent this,

00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.240
 We're going to have to tell them that the flowers were dead when they arrived.

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.240
 And we could have easily just maybe thrown the box out and thought,

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.240
 Well, these flowers are just died.

00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:54.240
 They're rubbish.

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.240
 We'll just put them in the bin.

00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.240
 But on the box was instructions.

00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.240
 And it said on the box that,

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.240
 Though you might think the flowers look dead,

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.240
 They're not.

00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:10.240
 What you have to do is you have to feed them.

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.240
 And there was instructions of how to feed them in different ways.

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.240
 There was three stages as to how to feed the flowers.

00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.240
 And so the flowers,

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.240
 Although they looked as if they were wilting,

00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:24.240
 They were put in a vase and given this feed.

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.240
 And over time, the flowers came to life.

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.240
 They bloomed and they're still in our kitchen now.

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.240
 Still flowering there in the kitchen.

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:42.240
 And what made the difference was reading the instructions and doing what the instructions say.

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:46.240
 And that's what it is like giving thanks at times as well.

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.240
 We might look on things and think,

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.240
 Well, there's so much around us that's sad.

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:52.240
 There's so much going on.

00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.240
 And we think,

00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.240
 What reason do we have to give thanks?

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:56.240
 We have to give thanks.

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.240
 But then when we read the instructions,

00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.240
 When we read God's word,

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.240
 We realize as we go through God's word,

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.240
 We have so many things to give thanks for.

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.240
 That there are times when everything seems to be withering and perishing away.

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.240
 But that God is able to give life.

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.240
 And that as we hear what he's saying to us,

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.240
 As we follow his instructions,

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:24.240
 He is the one who gives life even into the saddest of situations.

00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.240
 And we are able to give thanks to him,

00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.240
 That he remembers us,

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.240
 That he is with us.

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.240
 And that is his promise always.

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.240
 So we take heart in the midst of everything else that goes on.

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:40.240
 Some things will be sad and hard for us.

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.240
 But we have the Lord with us.

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:46.240
 And we do have so much to give thanks for.

00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.240
 So may our hearts truly be thankful to God today,

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.240
 For all that he does for us.

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.240
 We're going to say the Lord's Prayer together now.

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.240
 Our Father which art in heaven,

00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.240
 Hallowed be thy name.

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.240
 Thy kingdom come.

00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.240
 Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.240
 Give us this day our daily bread,

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.240
 And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:15.240
 And lead us not into temptation,

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.240
 But deliver us from evil.

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.240
 For thine is the kingdom,

00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.240
 The power and the glory forever.

00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:23.240
 Amen.

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:30.240
 We're going to sing again to God's praise this time in Psalm 105,

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.240
 The Scottish Psalter version,

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.240
 Page 374.

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.240
 Psalm 105,

00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.240
 Page 374.

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.240
 We'll sing from verse 1 to verse 7.

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.240
 And the tune is Peter's Ham.

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.240
 If there are any young ones going out to the holiday twenties,

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.240
 You can do that during the singing.

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.240
 Just as usual,

00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.240
 Coming out the door to my left here.

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.240
 Psalm 105 at verse 1,

00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.240
 Give thanks to God,

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:55.240
 Call on his name,

00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:57.240
 To men his deeds make known.

00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.240
 Sing ye to him,

00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.240
 Sing psalms,

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.240
 Proclaim his wondrous works.

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.240
 Each one.

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.240
 We'll stand to sing the Psalm,

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:06.240
 Verse 1 to 7,

00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.240
 To God's praise.

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:08.240
 Please,

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.240


00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.240
 Please,

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:08.240
 Please,

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.240
 Please,

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:08.240
 Please,

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.240
 Please,

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:08.240
 Please,

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.240
 Please,

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:09.240


00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.240
 Please,

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:11.240
 Please,

00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:11.240


00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:11.240


00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:28.279
 Please,

00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:28.279


00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.159
 His wondrous works each one.

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:44.220
 See that in His holy name to glory do accord.

00:11:44.659 --> 00:11:55.159
 And let the heart of everyone rejoice that seeks the Lord.

00:11:55.159 --> 00:12:07.459
 The Lord almighty and His strength with steadfast hearts be ye.

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:17.419
 His blessed and His gracious grace seek ye continually.

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:29.599
 Think on the works that ye have done which admiration breed.

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:39.419
 His wonders and the judgments all which on His life proceed.

00:12:39.419 --> 00:12:51.419
 O ye that are of Abram's race, his servant well approved.

00:12:51.419 --> 00:13:03.419
 O ye that Jacob's children are whom He chose on His own.

00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:14.839
 Because He and He only is the mighty Lord our God.

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:25.019
 And His most righteous judgments are in all the earth abroad.

00:13:25.019 --> 00:13:26.019
 Amen.

00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:36.500
 We're going to turn to read together now in the Old Testament, the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 8.

00:13:37.299 --> 00:13:38.679
 Deuteronomy chapter 8.

00:13:39.579 --> 00:13:42.019
 And we'll read the whole of this chapter.

00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:51.720
 So children of Israel have been led to the border of the promised land.

00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:55.299
 As we see here in Deuteronomy, they're on the verge of going into it.

00:13:55.319 --> 00:14:01.360
 But they go into it with these words ringing in their ears that they are to remember the Lord their God.

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:07.259
 And especially in the midst of all the plenty that they are going to see in the land.

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:10.559
 The food, the trees, the fruits of them.

00:14:10.659 --> 00:14:16.179
 There's so much that they are going to have in terms of food and harvest and all of these things.

00:14:16.319 --> 00:14:19.500
 But the Lord is reminding them to remember Him.

00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.519
 So Deuteronomy chapter 8.

00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:27.600
 The whole commandment that I command you today, you shall be careful to do.

00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:34.519
 That you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers.

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:39.079
 And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you.

00:14:39.439 --> 00:14:41.279
 These 40 years in the wilderness.

00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:46.840
 That He might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart.

00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.039
 Whether you would keep His commandments or not.

00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.600
 And He humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna.

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.039
 Which you did not know, nor did your fathers know.

00:14:58.439 --> 00:15:02.439
 That He might make you know that man does not live by bread alone.

00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:07.480
 But man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

00:15:08.260 --> 00:15:10.720
 Your clothing did not wear out on you.

00:15:10.800 --> 00:15:13.700
 And your foot did not swell these 40 years.

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:21.060
 Know then in your heart that as man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you.

00:15:21.740 --> 00:15:27.840
 So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God by walking in His ways and by fearing Him.

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:31.540
 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land.

00:15:32.040 --> 00:15:36.139
 A land of brooks, of water, of fountains and springs.

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:38.840
 Flowing out into the valleys and fields.

00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:44.060
 A land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates.

00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:47.080
 A land of olive trees and honey.

00:15:47.740 --> 00:15:50.480
 A land in which you will eat bread without scarcity.

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.720
 In which you will lack nothing.

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.840
 A land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.100
 And you shall eat and be full.

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:06.139
 And you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land that He has given you.

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.340
 Take care lest you forget the Lord your God.

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:16.360
 By not keeping His commandments and His rules and His statutes which I command you today.

00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:22.399
 Lest when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them.

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.720
 And when your herds and flocks multiply.

00:16:26.220 --> 00:16:28.659
 And your silver and gold is multiplied.

00:16:29.180 --> 00:16:31.200
 And all that you have is multiplied.

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:33.560
 Then your heart be lifted up.

00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:36.019
 And you forget the Lord your God.

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.419
 Who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.320
 Out of the house of slavery.

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.340
 Who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness.

00:16:44.640 --> 00:16:47.000
 With its fiery serpents and scorpions.

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:49.879
 And thirsty ground where there was no water.

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.560
 Who brought you water out of the flinty rock.

00:16:54.140 --> 00:16:56.420
 Who fed you in his wilderness with manna.

00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:58.620
 That your fathers did not know.

00:16:59.140 --> 00:17:01.200
 That he might humble you and test you.

00:17:01.660 --> 00:17:03.460
 To do you good in the end.

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:06.720
 Beware lest you say in your heart.

00:17:07.299 --> 00:17:12.519
 My power and the might of my hand has gained me this wealth.

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:15.539
 You shall remember the Lord your God.

00:17:16.100 --> 00:17:18.660
 For it is He who gives you power to get wealth.

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.019
 That He may confirm His covenant.

00:17:21.380 --> 00:17:24.819
 That He swore to your fathers as it is this day.

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:27.759
 And if you forget the Lord your God.

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.720
 And go after other gods and serve them and worship them.

00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:34.100
 I solemnly warn you today.

00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:35.720
 That you shall surely perish.

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.920
 Like the nations.

00:17:38.420 --> 00:17:41.200
 That the Lord makes to perish before you.

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:43.120
 So shall you perish.

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:48.079
 Because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:49.579
 Amen.

00:17:49.700 --> 00:17:53.240
 And may God bless that reading of His word to us.

00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:55.839
 We will again engage in a word of prayer.

00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:56.700
 Let us pray.

00:17:56.700 --> 00:18:00.799
 Our gracious Lord.

00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.279
 We do thank you for these words that we have read.

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:06.080
 And remind us Lord.

00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:07.759
 That we are to focus upon you.

00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:09.940
 And we ask that you will help us.

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:12.340
 Any distractions that are in our minds.

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:14.600
 Any thoughts that come our way.

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:16.200
 Even as we are under your word.

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.279
 That you would remove them from us.

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:19.660
 That we would be able to hear.

00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.279
 What your spirit has to say to us.

00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:23.980
 And we thank you Lord.

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:25.740
 That you are a God who speaks.

00:18:25.940 --> 00:18:27.359
 And who ministers to us.

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:29.180
 In all our different needs.

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:31.559
 That you are a God who reminds us.

00:18:31.639 --> 00:18:33.980
 That you are worthy of all our thanksgiving.

00:18:34.139 --> 00:18:35.480
 And all our praise.

00:18:36.220 --> 00:18:38.879
 And as we have so much to give thanks for our Lord.

00:18:38.940 --> 00:18:39.599
 We are reminded.

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.099
 That we are not to forget you.

00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:43.619
 That we are not to think.

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:45.500
 That it's by the might of our hand.

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:47.139
 Or by our own strength.

00:18:47.139 --> 00:18:48.720
 That we have accomplished anything.

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:50.900
 But only through your goodness.

00:18:51.620 --> 00:18:53.319
 And your grace towards us.

00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:55.600
 So Lord may you keep us humble.

00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:59.019
 And may you keep us ever dependent upon you.

00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:01.360
 And also ever looking to you.

00:19:01.740 --> 00:19:03.799
 With thanksgiving and prayer.

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:06.039
 And we do thank you Lord.

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:09.360
 That we have a harvest to be thankful for.

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:11.600
 We thank you that although we so often.

00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:13.480
 Maybe don't see it ourselves today.

00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.140
 Because we do not depend upon the land.

00:19:16.140 --> 00:19:19.100
 As our fathers and forefathers once did.

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.520
 But yet oh Lord.

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:21.720
 We are still dependent.

00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:24.000
 On the earth which you have made.

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:26.100
 The earth belongs unto the Lord.

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:27.980
 And all that it contains.

00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.340
 Your word tells us.

00:19:29.840 --> 00:19:32.200
 And we are reminded that our harvest comes.

00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.620
 From around us.

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:34.820
 And throughout our country.

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:37.259
 And even to the ends of the earth Lord.

00:19:37.320 --> 00:19:39.100
 We have an abundance of provisions.

00:19:39.100 --> 00:19:40.220
 That come our way.

00:19:40.520 --> 00:19:43.080
 We do thank you for all who provide us.

00:19:43.300 --> 00:19:44.680
 With these things.

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.140
 For the many who labour.

00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.960
 All year round.

00:19:48.560 --> 00:19:51.240
 Seeking to produce a harvest at the end of it.

00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.799
 And we thank you Lord.

00:19:52.900 --> 00:19:55.120
 That even in the midst of difficult times.

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:56.900
 That you have still blessed.

00:19:57.580 --> 00:19:59.180
 We do give you thanks for all.

00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:01.680
 Involved in industry that helps us.

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.080
 To have so much.

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:04.500
 The food on the tables.

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:07.299
 And the water that's provided for us.

00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:08.580
 And the clothes that we wear.

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:10.880
 We thank you for those who are involved.

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.039
 In transporting it.

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:13.500
 Throughout our country.

00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:14.680
 And even throughout the world.

00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.440
 We thank you that there are so many.

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:19.659
 Who work to that end of serving others.

00:20:20.399 --> 00:20:22.680
 And so we give you thanks for all of these things.

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.759
 But above all Lord.

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:25.339
 We give thanks to you.

00:20:25.539 --> 00:20:27.359
 As God and Lord of all.

00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.500
 The harvest is yours Lord.

00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:30.299
 And we thank you.

00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.159
 For the provision that you make.

00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:33.720
 And we thank you that today.

00:20:33.859 --> 00:20:35.399
 In prayer we can come to you.

00:20:35.819 --> 00:20:36.639
 With thanksgiving.

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.319
 But also with our petitions.

00:20:38.500 --> 00:20:39.639
 Asking for your help.

00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:41.000
 And your blessing over us.

00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.920
 And so many different things.

00:20:43.540 --> 00:20:45.300
 We do think of all that's going on.

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:46.800
 Around us today.

00:20:47.420 --> 00:20:48.360
 We thank you Lord.

00:20:48.520 --> 00:20:50.740
 For the work of the gospel.

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:52.020
 We continue to pray.

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.820
 For your blessing on the word.

00:20:53.940 --> 00:20:55.280
 That goes out here.

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:57.640
 And throughout our island communities.

00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:58.840
 And throughout our nation.

00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.440
 And the world.

00:21:00.040 --> 00:21:01.220
 We thank you for the gospel.

00:21:01.340 --> 00:21:02.100
 And its power.

00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:03.560
 And we pray Lord.

00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:04.540
 That it will be powerful.

00:21:04.540 --> 00:21:05.340
 Even today.

00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:08.280
 We thank you for your people.

00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:08.899
 Who pray.

00:21:09.399 --> 00:21:10.119
 And we thank you.

00:21:10.139 --> 00:21:11.539
 That we can join in with others.

00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.759
 Praying today.

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.740
 For your blessing on us.

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:16.799
 And for all our different needs.

00:21:17.399 --> 00:21:18.359
 And the many reasons.

00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:19.420
 That we have to pray.

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:21.579
 Are even laid before us today.

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:23.319
 As we have been looking over.

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:24.799
 Even our own bulletin sheet.

00:21:24.899 --> 00:21:26.879
 And thinking of all the many things.

00:21:26.879 --> 00:21:27.779
 That are going on.

00:21:28.399 --> 00:21:29.980
 We remember those who are mourning.

00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:30.639
 And grieving.

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:32.759
 We remember families.

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.920
 In their own communities.

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:34.639
 As we commit.

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:36.879
 Let a Campbell's family to you.

00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:37.880
 Asking your blessing.

00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.520
 And peace and comfort to them.

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:42.220
 We remember too.

00:21:42.280 --> 00:21:43.560
 The family of Robert Smith.

00:21:43.560 --> 00:21:46.160
 Thankful for his years of ministry.

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:48.320
 Some of them here in the congregation.

00:21:49.340 --> 00:21:51.220
 And for the blessing that he was to many.

00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:53.060
 Throughout the congregation here.

00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:54.880
 And through his service in the church.

00:21:55.540 --> 00:21:56.880
 We thank you for that.

00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.620
 And we pray for Janice.

00:21:58.760 --> 00:22:00.780
 And we pray for Lisa and Gareth.

00:22:00.780 --> 00:22:02.420
 And their families at this time.

00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:04.220
 Asking for your comfort.

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.920
 And your blessing on them.

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:07.560
 And we think too.

00:22:07.620 --> 00:22:08.820
 Of those who are unwell.

00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:10.539
 Many who are in hospital.

00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:11.720
 Or at home unwell.

00:22:11.820 --> 00:22:12.519
 We commit them.

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:14.340
 To your care and keeping.

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.860
 We do pray for little Ruth today.

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.820
 Granddaughter of Ivor.

00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:21.539
 And daughter to Mary Catherine.

00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:23.259
 And the whole family at this time.

00:22:23.340 --> 00:22:23.519
 Lord.

00:22:23.560 --> 00:22:25.259
 We ask that you will bless them.

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.900
 And be with them.

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:27.759
 Help those who are caring for her.

00:22:27.840 --> 00:22:27.980
 Lord.

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.759
 That your hand.

00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:30.580
 Would be upon her for good.

00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:32.779
 We commit them all to you.

00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:33.060
 Lord.

00:22:33.100 --> 00:22:34.460
 As the one who is able.

00:22:34.460 --> 00:22:36.420
 We think too Lord.

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:38.579
 Of the work of the gospel.

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.380
 We thank you for the presbytery camp.

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:41.440
 Going on this weekend.

00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:42.960
 We pray for all the young people.

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.519
 And the leaders.

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:45.860
 Who are there at the Scalladale Center.

00:22:45.860 --> 00:22:46.759
 For this weekend.

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:48.600
 That your spirit be with them.

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:49.380
 To bless them.

00:22:49.420 --> 00:22:50.759
 And to minister to them.

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:52.460
 That you'll be with them Lord.

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.380
 Over these days.

00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:55.200
 That you will encourage them.

00:22:55.600 --> 00:22:56.700
 And help them to see.

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:58.079
 The wonder of the gospel.

00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.920
 And the beauty of Jesus Christ.

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:01.779
 And even in their young years.

00:23:01.779 --> 00:23:02.360
 To come.

00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:04.480
 And commit their lives to you.

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.720
 We think too.

00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:07.140
 Of difficult situations.

00:23:07.320 --> 00:23:08.680
 In our islands.

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:10.340
 Communities at this time.

00:23:10.840 --> 00:23:11.660
 As we have been hearing.

00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:12.680
 In this past week.

00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:13.620
 Of people missing.

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.039
 And searches going on.

00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:16.539
 We continue to pray.

00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:17.539
 For those who are looking.

00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:18.340
 For the young boy.

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:19.080
 Missing here.

00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.300
 In Stornoway.

00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.720
 And we pray Lord.

00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.519
 That you will protect.

00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:23.980
 And help those who are out.

00:23:24.060 --> 00:23:24.820
 Even just now.

00:23:25.500 --> 00:23:26.660
 Searching for him Lord.

00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:27.500
 And we just commit.

00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:29.140
 That situation to you.

00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:30.440
 We commit.

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:32.160
 The search going on.

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:33.259
 In Benbeculas.

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:33.840
 Well today.

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:34.660
 For that young woman.

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.320
 Who's missing.

00:23:35.800 --> 00:23:36.480
 Again Lord.

00:23:36.540 --> 00:23:37.500
 Asking for safety.

00:23:37.580 --> 00:23:38.240
 And protection.

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.019
 Over all.

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.380
 Who are out and about.

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.940
 For your comfort.

00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:43.680
 And your blessing.

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:44.680
 Over these families.

00:23:44.820 --> 00:23:45.800
 Who will be so anxious.

00:23:45.800 --> 00:23:46.820
 At this time.

00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.140
 Lord.

00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:48.240
 May you surround them.

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.400
 Uphold them.

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.340
 And strengthen them.

00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:51.500
 Throughout these days.

00:23:52.080 --> 00:23:52.500
 Lord.

00:23:52.560 --> 00:23:53.480
 We are reminded of.

00:23:54.100 --> 00:23:55.840
 How we dependently are.

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:56.500
 Upon you.

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.700
 And we pray Lord.

00:23:57.740 --> 00:23:58.180
 That today.

00:23:58.340 --> 00:23:59.259
 As we worship you.

00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:00.759
 That you will minister to us.

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:02.759
 That you will draw us to yourself.

00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:03.779
 That we would realize.

00:24:04.360 --> 00:24:05.900
 How precious you are.

00:24:06.300 --> 00:24:07.920
 How precious life is.

00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:08.800
 And as we even think.

00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:09.620
 Of our parliament.

00:24:09.860 --> 00:24:11.220
 And the meetings.

00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:12.420
 Even in this coming week.

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:14.279
 For the assisted suicide bill.

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:15.040
 We pray that.

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:17.180
 Many members of parliament.

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.880
 Would see.

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.940
 The dangers of it.

00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.320
 And come to seek.

00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.440
 To protect life.

00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:23.480
 In all its.

00:24:24.140 --> 00:24:24.620
 Sanctity.

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.560
 And all that it is.

00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.500
 That life is from you.

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:28.839
 So give wisdom.

00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:29.559
 To our leaders.

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.359
 In these things.

00:24:30.419 --> 00:24:31.059
 And we pray.

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:31.960
 Oh Lord.

00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:33.179
 That you will protect us.

00:24:33.179 --> 00:24:35.279
 From going down these paths.

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.259
 So Lord.

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.179
 We commit ourselves.

00:24:37.179 --> 00:24:38.119
 Into your hands.

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:39.480
 Now asking for your blessing.

00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:40.039
 Over us.

00:24:40.579 --> 00:24:41.200
 Continue with us.

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.319
 As we open up your word.

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:42.819
 Together.

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.220
 As we look to you.

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:45.200
 We look to your blessing.

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:45.659
 On us.

00:24:46.099 --> 00:24:46.859
 Asking forgiveness.

00:24:46.859 --> 00:24:47.980
 For all our sins.

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.000
 In Jesus name.

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:49.980
 Amen.

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:54.539
 Well we're going to sing again.

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.500
 Before we turn back.

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:56.299
 To this passage.

00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:58.099
 In Psalm 96a.

00:24:58.620 --> 00:25:00.000
 The Sing Psalms version.

 Down to the end of the psalm.

00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:16.379
 All nations to the Lord.

00:25:16.439 --> 00:25:17.539
 Ascribe the glory.

00:25:17.779 --> 00:25:18.719

00:25:18.879 --> 00:25:19.859
 Glory and strength.

00:25:20.099 --> 00:25:21.000
 Ascribe to God.

00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:22.919

00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:23.379
 And you.

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.980
 We'll sing from that verse 7.

00:25:25.439 --> 00:25:26.399
 Down to the end of the psalm.

00:25:26.459 --> 00:25:27.519
 The tune is Bloxam.

00:25:27.899 --> 00:25:30.059
 We stand to sing to God's praise.

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:30.559
 Amen.

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:40.059
 All nations to the Lord.

 Glory and strength.

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.759
 Ascribe to God.

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:59.619

00:25:59.619 --> 00:26:00.759
 And you.

00:26:02.879 --> 00:26:06.759
 Enter his courts.

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.819
 With joy.

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:12.759
 Bring an offering.

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.680
 With you.

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:20.680
 Worship the Lord.

00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.879
 In holy field.

00:26:24.879 --> 00:26:29.879
 All earth before him.

00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.800
 Tell every man.

00:26:34.800 --> 00:26:40.000
 The Lord is king.

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:45.800
 He establishes the earth.

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.720
 And cannot move.

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:53.720
 The Lord will judge.

00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:59.720
 The people sin is true.

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:29.720
 Let έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ έ

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:44.720
 They all will sing before the Lord who comes to judge the earth.

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:59.920
 He'll judge the world in righteousness, the people's sin is true.

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:10.319
 Well, if we can turn back together to our reading in Deuteronomy chapter 8, we can read again at verse 10 and 11.

00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:14.419
 Deuteronomy chapter 8 at verse 10.

00:28:15.639 --> 00:28:22.359
 And you shall eat and be full and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.

00:28:22.939 --> 00:28:35.579
 Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes which I command you today and so on.

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:43.579
 Well, we're going to be looking at the whole of this chapter, but these verses that we've read just give us a focus.

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:46.119
 There's two elements there for us.

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:52.919
 Being thankful, blessing the Lord for all the provision that he's made and not forgetting the Lord.

00:28:52.920 --> 00:29:03.160
 Today is a special service of thanksgiving to God where we remember all of God's provision to us looking back, especially over this last year.

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:09.560
 It's an annual thanksgiving service with a particular emphasis on harvest thanksgiving.

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:14.460
 Now many sitting here today, you might say, what harvest?

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.340
 What harvest are we giving thanks for?

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:21.019
 We don't really do our own harvest, many of us.

00:29:21.019 --> 00:29:24.559
 What are we looking at here for harvest thanksgiving?

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:30.980
 Well, we think today from the outset, how much do we actually take for granted today?

00:29:31.519 --> 00:29:36.480
 We're maybe not dependent on harvesting our own fields as we once were,

00:29:36.879 --> 00:29:42.339
 although many people still do try and have their own vegetables and fruits and different things.

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:48.440
 But if we're stuck, we can always just go to the shop and there we'll be able to buy whatever we need.

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.059
 Things that come from all over the world.

00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:59.600
 We are still dependent on a harvest, even though there is so much we take for granted.

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.820
 And because we are dependent, it's not the harvest we're dependent on.

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:07.400
 It's God we are dependent on.

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:12.580
 Because we have to acknowledge that everything comes from him.

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:18.639
 The psalmist says, the earth belongs unto the Lord and all that it contains.

00:30:18.819 --> 00:30:21.059
 Everything belongs to the Lord.

00:30:21.159 --> 00:30:26.059
 So everything that we have before us today, even as we go home and sit at the table,

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:29.879
 and we enjoy a meal around the table, the clothes that we wear,

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:32.259
 the water that comes through our taps,

00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:35.559
 all these things that we so often just take for granted,

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:38.119
 they are all the Lord's.

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:43.539
 And it's only through the Lord's gracious giving to us that we have these things

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:46.099
 in his provision for us.

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:49.539
 And so we are to be thankful to him.

00:30:50.579 --> 00:30:52.379
 And as we see in this passage,

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:56.720
 the children of Israel here about to go into the promised land,

00:30:56.740 --> 00:30:59.259
 into a land that's going to be full of many things,

00:30:59.259 --> 00:31:01.799
 an abundance of good things,

00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:08.579
 there also is a reminder here of just how easy it is to forget the Lord.

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:12.019
 Do not forget the Lord.

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:15.180
 It's the words that ring in this passage as well.

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.079
 And there are words that should be ringing in our ears today as well,

00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.599
 that we should not at any point forget the Lord,

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:28.539
 but always be thankful to him for all that we have.

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:30.059
 Now,

00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:34.759
 as we're looking at the situation of the people and the children of Israel here,

00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:36.819
 and we look at our own situation today,

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:39.559
 you maybe think a service of Thanksgiving.

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:44.259
 Sometimes it's so difficult to see reasons for Thanksgiving.

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.599
 You know,

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:48.339
 as we've been praying together and thinking about the different things on the

00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:52.599
 bulletin sheet and hearing difficult situations that our people are in,

00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:55.460
 it can be hard to give thanks.

00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:59.299
 Maybe some of you come in here today or are tuning in online today,

00:31:59.340 --> 00:32:02.079
 and you're finding it hard to give thanks.

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:06.420
 Yet we're reminded that in every circumstance,

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.759
 we have the Lord with us.

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:12.700
 There's a preacher by the name of Alexander White in Edinburgh,

00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.460
 and he was noted for always having a reason for Thanksgiving.

00:32:17.220 --> 00:32:18.940
 And this day that he came into church,

00:32:19.180 --> 00:32:20.720
 it was a wild day,

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:25.339
 but like we have outside today or even looking ahead to the forecast tonight,

00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:26.279
 a wild day,

00:32:26.740 --> 00:32:27.339
 a wet day.

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:29.440
 And one of the congregations sitting in thought,

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:32.900
 what's he going to have to give thanks to God for today?

00:32:33.620 --> 00:32:35.259
 And yet he started his prayer by saying,

00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:35.920
 we thank you,

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:36.220
 Lord.

00:32:36.620 --> 00:32:38.779
 It's not always like this.

00:32:38.779 --> 00:32:43.720
 And that's a reminder to us today that our circumstances,

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:46.259
 even when we are in the most difficult situations,

00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:48.619
 it's not always like this.

00:32:48.639 --> 00:32:50.779
 And it won't always be like this.

00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:54.920
 And especially as we are looking and trusting in the Lord Jesus.

00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:58.259
 So let us not forget the Lord,

00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:02.319
 but let us be thankful to God for all of his provision,

00:33:02.879 --> 00:33:05.879
 all that he gives to us on a regular,

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.839
 on a daily basis.

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.919
 And we're looking back,

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:11.339
 especially over this last year,

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:14.539
 thankful to him for all the provision made.

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:20.839
 Thankful today in the present and looking to his blessing to continue on us going forward,

00:33:20.919 --> 00:33:23.659
 that we would not forget the Lord.

00:33:24.399 --> 00:33:26.919
 So we want to look at this passage together,

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:29.619
 just under these three kind of themes.

00:33:29.959 --> 00:33:30.500
 Thanksgiving,

00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:31.740
 Thanksgiving,

00:33:32.439 --> 00:33:34.299
 looking back to the past,

00:33:34.919 --> 00:33:35.259
 Thanksgiving,

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:36.859
 looking to the present,

00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:38.519
 and Thanksgiving,

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:43.900
 looking to the Lord's continued blessing going forward as well.

00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:49.019
 So we want to begin by thinking of Thanksgiving for the past.

00:33:49.019 --> 00:33:52.579
 And that's really where this passage begins.

00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:56.480
 As we're looking at Deuteronomy 8 here,

00:33:56.940 --> 00:34:01.059
 the setting is this waiting to go in to the promised land.

00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:04.900
 And even as you read through this passage,

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:10.199
 you're seeing so much that they are going to enjoy in this land.

00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:12.599
 It's going to be a precious land.

00:34:13.359 --> 00:34:14.439
 In verse 7,

00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.980
 it says,

00:34:14.980 --> 00:34:17.820
 The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land,

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.960
 a land of brooks,

00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:20.159
 of water,

00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:22.059
 of fountains and springs,

00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:23.559
 flowing out of the valleys,

00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.460
 lands of wheat and barley,

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:27.380
 vines and fig trees,

00:34:27.579 --> 00:34:28.300
 pomegranates,

00:34:28.500 --> 00:34:29.179
 olive trees,

00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:29.619
 honey,

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.300
 all of these things,

00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:33.980
 things that they haven't had for a long time.

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:36.380
 In the wilderness of 40 years,

00:34:36.780 --> 00:34:38.699
 of wandering through the wilderness,

00:34:39.539 --> 00:34:41.679
 through their own disobedience,

00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.759
 of not listening to God,

00:34:44.179 --> 00:34:45.659
 not trusting God.

00:34:46.099 --> 00:34:47.919
 They've been 40 years in the wilderness

00:34:47.919 --> 00:34:50.039
 with so little in many ways,

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.539
 and yet the Lord providing for them.

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:55.399
 Here he is now about to bring them into a land

00:34:55.399 --> 00:34:58.940
 that's going to be full of so many different things,

00:34:59.339 --> 00:35:00.480
 so many blessings.

00:35:01.500 --> 00:35:03.899
 But before they go into the land,

00:35:04.259 --> 00:35:06.799
 he wants to focus on their past.

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.239
 And especially looking back

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:12.779
 and remembering how the Lord has helped them.

00:35:13.279 --> 00:35:16.279
 Even in a time that there wasn't that plenty,

00:35:16.739 --> 00:35:17.679
 a time of need,

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:19.899
 the Lord was with them.

00:35:20.439 --> 00:35:22.959
 And you see that in verse 2.

00:35:23.379 --> 00:35:24.819
 Before you go into this land,

00:35:24.899 --> 00:35:26.059
 he says in verse 2,

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:28.500
 you shall remember the whole way

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:30.599
 that the Lord your God has led you

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.899
 these 40 years in the wilderness,

00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:34.879
 that he might humble you.

00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:36.640
 And then he goes on to say,

00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:40.900
 testing you to know what was in your heart,

00:35:41.140 --> 00:35:44.640
 whether you would keep his commandments or not.

00:35:45.160 --> 00:35:47.640
 So the Lord was reminding them,

00:35:47.700 --> 00:35:49.519
 as they were to look back and see,

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:51.099
 in the past,

00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.320
 the Lord has helped.

00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:55.880
 You have reasons to give thanks

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.980
 looking back.

00:35:58.780 --> 00:36:01.460
 Times of deliverance that they can see,

00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:04.380
 times of judgment that they could see,

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:05.920
 but all the time,

00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.180
 the Lord has led you,

00:36:08.260 --> 00:36:08.920
 he is saying.

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:10.880
 The Lord has led you

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:12.380
 these 40 years.

00:36:13.780 --> 00:36:14.800
 He was with them

00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.240
 all the time.

00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:17.599
 Whether it was

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:18.820
 in times of

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:20.200
 some joyous times

00:36:20.200 --> 00:36:20.740
 or whether it was

00:36:20.740 --> 00:36:22.000
 sad times,

00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:23.680
 the Lord was with them.

00:36:23.740 --> 00:36:24.160
 He gave them

00:36:24.160 --> 00:36:25.599
 the pillar of cloud

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.019
 and the pillar of fire

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:28.599
 so that by day and night

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:29.360
 they could move

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:31.340
 if that was the Lord's will for them.

00:36:31.700 --> 00:36:32.380
 He never

00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:33.500
 left them.

00:36:33.500 --> 00:36:35.099
 They were always

00:36:35.099 --> 00:36:37.719
 dependent on God

00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:39.139
 and God was

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:40.079
 putting them

00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:41.460
 to the test.

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:43.300
 Would they continue

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:45.840
 to hold on to his commandments

00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:47.059
 or not?

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:49.159
 Would they continue to listen

00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:50.519
 to his word

00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:51.699
 or not?

00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:53.920
 And as is often the case

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:55.099
 with God's people,

00:36:55.539 --> 00:36:56.239
 there were times

00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:57.420
 when they did listen,

00:36:57.780 --> 00:36:58.679
 when they were obedient

00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.919
 and things went smoothly,

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:02.599
 other times

00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:03.859
 they were disobedient.

00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:05.059
 They didn't listen

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:06.639
 and things didn't

00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:07.279
 go well.

00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:08.759
 And again,

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:09.919
 it's a reminder

00:37:09.919 --> 00:37:11.500
 to our own experience

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:12.819
 and to our own lives

00:37:12.819 --> 00:37:13.500
 as well.

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.119
 Whatever age

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:16.000
 we are today

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.119
 coming in here,

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:18.559
 we can look back

00:37:18.559 --> 00:37:20.079
 over maybe short years,

00:37:20.179 --> 00:37:21.279
 maybe long years.

00:37:21.699 --> 00:37:22.859
 However many years

00:37:22.859 --> 00:37:23.480
 of our lives

00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:24.739
 we're looking back over

00:37:24.739 --> 00:37:26.159
 and we could say

00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:27.779
 like the word of God

00:37:27.779 --> 00:37:28.559
 says here,

00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:30.299
 the Lord your God

00:37:30.299 --> 00:37:31.539
 has led you.

00:37:32.459 --> 00:37:33.599
 Whatever you think

00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:34.259
 of God,

00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:35.659
 whatever this world

00:37:35.659 --> 00:37:37.219
 thinks of God,

00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:38.479
 this is still

00:37:38.479 --> 00:37:39.219
 true today

00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:40.199
 as it was then.

00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:42.399
 The Lord your God

00:37:42.399 --> 00:37:43.659
 has led you.

00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:45.619
 And the Lord your God

00:37:45.619 --> 00:37:47.259
 has tested you

00:37:47.259 --> 00:37:48.639
 along the way.

00:37:49.379 --> 00:37:50.279
 He is always

00:37:50.279 --> 00:37:51.879
 putting his people

00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:53.119
 to the test.

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:54.800
 Will they listen

00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:56.019
 to the word

00:37:56.019 --> 00:37:56.900
 of God

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:58.019
 or not?

00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.240
 And so for ourselves

00:38:01.240 --> 00:38:01.820
 today,

00:38:02.099 --> 00:38:02.900
 we see

00:38:02.900 --> 00:38:04.680
 the remarkable way

00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:05.320
 that God

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:06.460
 has helped us

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:07.660
 over the years.

00:38:08.200 --> 00:38:09.260
 The way that he has

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:09.940
 led us

00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:11.519
 over the years.

00:38:11.660 --> 00:38:11.860
 We are

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:12.940
 dependent

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:14.539
 on God.

00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:16.300
 Utterly

00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:17.220
 dependent

00:38:17.220 --> 00:38:18.640
 on him.

00:38:19.720 --> 00:38:20.680
 He humbles

00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:21.960
 them here

00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:22.960
 in the past

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.139
 so many times

00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:24.940
 that they would

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:26.239
 acknowledge him

00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:27.059
 as Lord

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:28.259
 and God.

00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:29.819
 And today

00:38:29.819 --> 00:38:30.779
 should be a day

00:38:30.779 --> 00:38:31.480
 of humbling

00:38:31.480 --> 00:38:32.299
 for ourselves

00:38:32.299 --> 00:38:32.759
 today.

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:33.940
 Because in

00:38:33.940 --> 00:38:34.879
 thankfulness

00:38:34.879 --> 00:38:36.239
 there is so much

00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:37.519
 humbling in that

00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:38.119
 as well.

00:38:38.879 --> 00:38:39.359
 That we would

00:38:39.359 --> 00:38:40.019
 come and look

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:41.139
 back on our

00:38:41.139 --> 00:38:41.759
 own lives

00:38:41.759 --> 00:38:42.299
 and our own

00:38:42.299 --> 00:38:43.199
 experiences

00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:44.399
 and think

00:38:44.399 --> 00:38:44.960
 yes,

00:38:46.359 --> 00:38:47.119
 without the

00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:47.599
 Lord

00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:48.699
 where would

00:38:48.699 --> 00:38:49.099
 we be?

00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:50.559
 Without

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:51.279
 the Lord's

00:38:51.279 --> 00:38:51.759
 provision

00:38:51.759 --> 00:38:53.019
 where would

00:38:53.019 --> 00:38:53.439
 we be?

00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:54.500
 We would

00:38:54.500 --> 00:38:55.159
 have nothing.

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:56.719
 Apart from

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.039
 him

00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:58.059
 we can do

00:38:58.059 --> 00:38:58.480
 nothing.

00:38:58.859 --> 00:38:59.399
 So we are

00:38:59.399 --> 00:39:00.059
 dependent

00:39:00.059 --> 00:39:01.579
 upon him.

00:39:02.299 --> 00:39:02.699
 We are

00:39:02.699 --> 00:39:03.419
 dependent on

00:39:03.419 --> 00:39:04.299
 him for

00:39:04.299 --> 00:39:04.699
 food.

00:39:04.839 --> 00:39:05.000
 We are

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:05.699
 dependent on

00:39:05.699 --> 00:39:06.139
 him for

00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:07.019
 clothes and

00:39:07.019 --> 00:39:07.559
 water and

00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:08.639
 all of these

00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:09.399
 blessings that

00:39:09.399 --> 00:39:10.159
 are ours.

00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:11.739
 But what is

00:39:11.739 --> 00:39:12.519
 the central

00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:13.619
 part of all

00:39:13.619 --> 00:39:14.119
 of this

00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:15.679
 is God's

00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:16.239
 word.

00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:16.299
 word.

00:39:17.339 --> 00:39:17.839
 Remember

00:39:17.839 --> 00:39:18.879
 the Lord

00:39:18.879 --> 00:39:19.459
 your God.

00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:20.059
 Remember

00:39:20.059 --> 00:39:21.359
 the whole

00:39:21.359 --> 00:39:22.279
 of the way

00:39:22.279 --> 00:39:22.599
 that the

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:23.059
 Lord your

00:39:23.059 --> 00:39:23.579
 God has

00:39:23.579 --> 00:39:24.079
 led you.

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:25.359
 And remember

00:39:25.359 --> 00:39:26.759
 the word

00:39:26.759 --> 00:39:27.639
 of God

00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:28.319
 to keep

00:39:28.319 --> 00:39:29.219
 his

00:39:29.219 --> 00:39:30.239
 commandments.

00:39:31.359 --> 00:39:32.039
 The word

00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:33.459
 is central.

00:39:34.439 --> 00:39:34.979
 The word

00:39:34.979 --> 00:39:35.399
 is what is

00:39:35.399 --> 00:39:35.739
 to be at

00:39:35.739 --> 00:39:36.319
 the heart

00:39:36.319 --> 00:39:37.179
 of our

00:39:37.179 --> 00:39:38.019
 thanksgiving.

00:39:38.579 --> 00:39:39.199
 So as we

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:39.939
 look back

00:39:39.939 --> 00:39:41.019
 we do so

00:39:41.019 --> 00:39:41.979
 through the

00:39:41.979 --> 00:39:42.639
 eyes of

00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:43.459
 faith looking

00:39:43.459 --> 00:39:44.459
 to his

00:39:44.459 --> 00:39:45.000
 word.

00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:45.780
 So when

00:39:45.780 --> 00:39:45.960
 we are

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:47.079
 tempted to

00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:47.860
 say we

00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:48.519
 can manage

00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:49.000
 without.

00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:49.800
 When we are

00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:50.360
 tempted to

00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:50.980
 say as you

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:51.440
 see later

00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:53.000
 on in

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:53.679
 this chapter

00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:54.679
 when he

00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:54.980
 says I

00:39:54.980 --> 00:39:55.119
 think it's

00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:56.440
 verse 14

00:39:56.440 --> 00:39:57.300
 do not

00:39:57.300 --> 00:39:57.940
 forget the

00:39:57.940 --> 00:39:58.420
 Lord who

00:39:58.420 --> 00:39:58.960
 brought you

00:39:58.960 --> 00:39:59.500
 out of

00:39:59.500 --> 00:39:59.980
 the land.

00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:00.699
 And then

00:40:00.699 --> 00:40:01.400
 further on

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:02.559
 he speaks

00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.059
 in verse

00:40:03.059 --> 00:40:03.880
 17 of

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:04.559
 beware

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:05.420
 lest you

00:40:05.420 --> 00:40:05.800
 say in

00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:06.280
 your heart

00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:07.440
 my power

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:08.199
 and the

00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:08.639
 might of

00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:09.659
 my hand

00:40:09.659 --> 00:40:10.639
 has gained

00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:11.119
 me this

00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:11.539
 wealth.

00:40:11.539 --> 00:40:12.340
 that is

00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:13.179
 always

00:40:13.179 --> 00:40:14.360
 the danger

00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:15.300
 with us.

00:40:15.820 --> 00:40:16.380
 In forgetting

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.000
 the Lord

00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:18.099
 we believe

00:40:18.099 --> 00:40:18.820
 it's our

00:40:18.820 --> 00:40:19.960
 own strength

00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:21.059
 our own

00:40:21.059 --> 00:40:21.619
 hand

00:40:21.619 --> 00:40:22.340
 that has

00:40:22.340 --> 00:40:22.940
 provided.

00:40:24.320 --> 00:40:24.860
 And Jesus

00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:25.659
 in the New

00:40:25.659 --> 00:40:26.199
 Testament

00:40:26.199 --> 00:40:27.659
 actually quotes

00:40:27.659 --> 00:40:28.500
 from this

00:40:28.500 --> 00:40:29.300
 passage as

00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:29.779
 well.

00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:31.139
 Man doesn't

00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:32.039
 live by

00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:32.880
 bread alone

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:33.619
 but by

00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:34.279
 every word

00:40:34.279 --> 00:40:35.119
 that comes

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:36.019
 from the

00:40:36.019 --> 00:40:36.559
 mouth of

00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:36.800
 God.

00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:37.059
 We are

00:40:37.059 --> 00:40:37.679
 dependent

00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:38.219
 on the

00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:38.800
 word of

00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:39.200
 God.

00:40:40.300 --> 00:40:40.580
 In

00:40:40.580 --> 00:40:40.900
 Matthew

00:40:40.900 --> 00:40:41.640
 4 verse

00:40:41.640 --> 00:40:43.120
 3 the

00:40:43.120 --> 00:40:43.820
 tempter

00:40:43.820 --> 00:40:45.240
 came to

00:40:45.240 --> 00:40:45.860
 Jesus and

00:40:45.860 --> 00:40:46.340
 said to

00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:47.019
 him, this

00:40:47.019 --> 00:40:47.320
 is when he

00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:47.660
 was in

00:40:47.660 --> 00:40:48.280
 the wilderness

00:40:48.280 --> 00:40:49.060
 himself,

00:40:50.120 --> 00:40:50.620
 if you

00:40:50.620 --> 00:40:51.180
 are the

00:40:51.180 --> 00:40:51.660
 son of

00:40:51.660 --> 00:40:52.019
 God

00:40:52.019 --> 00:40:52.780
 command

00:40:52.780 --> 00:40:53.320
 these

00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:53.780
 stones

00:40:53.780 --> 00:40:54.420
 to become

00:40:54.420 --> 00:40:55.019
 loaves

00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:56.060
 of bread.

00:40:56.900 --> 00:40:57.220
 Jesus

00:40:57.220 --> 00:40:58.080
 was hungry

00:40:58.080 --> 00:40:59.880
 and the

00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:00.320
 tempter

00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:00.700
 Satan

00:41:00.700 --> 00:41:01.120
 was saying

00:41:01.120 --> 00:41:01.380
 to him

00:41:01.380 --> 00:41:01.940
 if you

00:41:01.940 --> 00:41:02.340
 are the

00:41:02.340 --> 00:41:02.740
 son of

00:41:02.740 --> 00:41:03.100
 God

00:41:03.100 --> 00:41:03.900
 if you

00:41:03.900 --> 00:41:04.240
 are who

00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:04.780
 you say

00:41:04.780 --> 00:41:05.240
 you are

00:41:05.240 --> 00:41:05.880
 you could

00:41:05.880 --> 00:41:06.480
 make these

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:06.960
 stones

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.360
 become

00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:07.840
 loaves

00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:08.440
 of bread.

00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:09.660
 To

00:41:09.660 --> 00:41:10.200
 satisfy

00:41:10.200 --> 00:41:10.500
 your

00:41:10.500 --> 00:41:10.880
 hunger.

00:41:11.620 --> 00:41:12.039
 But Jesus

00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:12.820
 answered by

00:41:12.820 --> 00:41:13.240
 saying it

00:41:13.240 --> 00:41:13.740
 is written

00:41:13.740 --> 00:41:14.840
 man shall

00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:15.340
 not live

00:41:15.340 --> 00:41:15.900
 by bread

00:41:15.900 --> 00:41:16.460
 alone but

00:41:16.460 --> 00:41:16.920
 by every

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:17.500
 word that

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:18.580
 comes from

00:41:18.580 --> 00:41:19.060
 the mouth

00:41:19.060 --> 00:41:20.160
 of God

00:41:20.160 --> 00:41:20.900
 from this

00:41:20.900 --> 00:41:21.600
 passage.

00:41:23.160 --> 00:41:23.420
 And so

00:41:23.420 --> 00:41:23.660
 we are

00:41:23.660 --> 00:41:24.300
 dependent

00:41:24.300 --> 00:41:25.220
 on the

00:41:25.220 --> 00:41:26.420
 word of

00:41:26.420 --> 00:41:26.880
 God.

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:27.620
 And the

00:41:27.620 --> 00:41:28.060
 word of

00:41:28.060 --> 00:41:28.860
 God reminds

00:41:28.860 --> 00:41:29.400
 us looking

00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:30.560
 back how

00:41:30.560 --> 00:41:30.860
 he has

00:41:30.860 --> 00:41:31.720
 always led

00:41:31.720 --> 00:41:32.539
 us and

00:41:32.539 --> 00:41:32.900
 how he

00:41:32.900 --> 00:41:33.660
 has always

00:41:33.660 --> 00:41:34.200
 helped

00:41:34.200 --> 00:41:34.560
 us.

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:35.940
 Christian

00:41:35.940 --> 00:41:36.780
 writer Fred

00:41:36.780 --> 00:41:37.200
 Marsh

00:41:37.200 --> 00:41:38.440
 described the

00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:38.860
 Christian

00:41:38.860 --> 00:41:39.740
 looking back

00:41:39.740 --> 00:41:40.159
 in this

00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:40.480
 way and

00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:40.900
 especially

00:41:40.900 --> 00:41:41.800
 quoting from

00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:42.960
 Deuteronomy.

00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:44.420
 He said

00:41:44.420 --> 00:41:44.659
 when you

00:41:44.659 --> 00:41:45.179
 look back

00:41:45.179 --> 00:41:45.720
 the Christian

00:41:45.720 --> 00:41:46.360
 can see

00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:47.119
 the

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:47.740
 deliverances

00:41:47.740 --> 00:41:48.360
 of the

00:41:48.360 --> 00:41:48.840
 Lord.

00:41:49.900 --> 00:41:50.559
 The way

00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:51.059
 the Lord

00:41:51.059 --> 00:41:51.720
 has led

00:41:51.720 --> 00:41:52.320
 looking at

00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:52.980
 verse 2

00:41:52.980 --> 00:41:53.480
 of this

00:41:53.480 --> 00:41:54.099
 passage

00:41:54.099 --> 00:41:55.440
 the blessings

00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:55.900
 that he

00:41:55.900 --> 00:41:56.900
 has bestowed

00:41:56.900 --> 00:41:58.139
 the victories

00:41:58.139 --> 00:41:59.039
 he has won

00:41:59.039 --> 00:41:59.760
 and the

00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:00.780
 encouragements

00:42:00.780 --> 00:42:01.240
 that he

00:42:01.240 --> 00:42:01.840
 has given.

00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:03.159
 The Christian

00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:03.820
 can see

00:42:03.820 --> 00:42:04.900
 these things

00:42:04.900 --> 00:42:05.820
 looking back.

00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:07.500
 So as we

00:42:07.500 --> 00:42:08.100
 look back

00:42:08.100 --> 00:42:09.080
 with thankfulness

00:42:09.080 --> 00:42:09.920
 to God

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:10.420
 we can see

00:42:10.420 --> 00:42:11.320
 the deliverances

00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:12.420
 of God

00:42:12.420 --> 00:42:13.080
 over our

00:42:13.080 --> 00:42:13.539
 years.

00:42:13.900 --> 00:42:14.580
 We can see

00:42:14.580 --> 00:42:14.880
 the way

00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:15.320
 the Lord

00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:15.920
 has led

00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:16.820
 us over

00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:17.460
 the years.

00:42:17.700 --> 00:42:18.260
 We can see

00:42:18.260 --> 00:42:18.940
 the blessings

00:42:18.940 --> 00:42:19.500
 that he has

00:42:19.500 --> 00:42:20.039
 given us

00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:20.460
 over the

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:20.880
 years.

00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:21.880
 We can see

00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:22.519
 the victories

00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:23.059
 that he has

00:42:23.059 --> 00:42:23.820
 won for us

00:42:23.820 --> 00:42:24.360
 over these

00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:24.840
 years.

00:42:25.640 --> 00:42:26.200
 We can see

00:42:26.200 --> 00:42:27.400
 the encouragements

00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:28.519
 that he has

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:29.600
 given to us

00:42:29.600 --> 00:42:30.940
 over these

00:42:30.940 --> 00:42:31.440
 years.

00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:33.000
 So our

00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:33.720
 thanksgiving

00:42:33.720 --> 00:42:34.980
 is based

00:42:34.980 --> 00:42:35.539
 on looking

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:36.159
 back.

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:37.480
 But it's

00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.320
 also based

00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:38.980
 on looking

00:42:38.980 --> 00:42:39.900
 to the

00:42:39.900 --> 00:42:40.320
 present.

00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:41.980
 It's not

00:42:41.980 --> 00:42:42.480
 just about

00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:43.179
 remembering

00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:44.300
 something that

00:42:44.300 --> 00:42:44.720
 we do

00:42:44.720 --> 00:42:45.460
 once.

00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:46.860
 Thanksgiving

00:42:46.860 --> 00:42:47.500
 is a

00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:48.159
 constant

00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:49.220
 ongoing

00:42:49.220 --> 00:42:50.280
 thankfulness

00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:51.300
 to God.

00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:52.079
 Even though

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:52.700
 this is a

00:42:52.700 --> 00:42:53.460
 day appointed

00:42:53.460 --> 00:42:54.200
 as harvest

00:42:54.200 --> 00:42:54.980
 thanksgiving

00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:55.860
 it doesn't

00:42:55.860 --> 00:42:56.179
 mean this

00:42:56.179 --> 00:42:56.780
 is the only

00:42:56.780 --> 00:42:57.599
 day we

00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:58.179
 give thanks

00:42:58.179 --> 00:42:58.559
 for our

00:42:58.559 --> 00:42:59.159
 food or

00:42:59.159 --> 00:42:59.700
 the water

00:42:59.700 --> 00:43:00.380
 or our

00:43:00.380 --> 00:43:01.000
 clothes.

00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:02.139
 It is a

00:43:02.139 --> 00:43:02.780
 constant

00:43:02.780 --> 00:43:03.800
 thanksgiving.

00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:05.320
 That's what

00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:05.800
 we are being

00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:06.960
 taught in

00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:07.440
 scripture.

00:43:07.980 --> 00:43:08.679
 We go on

00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:09.099
 in this

00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:09.820
 sense of

00:43:09.820 --> 00:43:10.500
 thanksgiving

00:43:10.500 --> 00:43:11.700
 to God.

00:43:12.579 --> 00:43:13.260
 A couple

00:43:13.260 --> 00:43:13.679
 of years

00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:14.179
 ago at

00:43:14.179 --> 00:43:14.679
 this time

00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:15.059
 of year

00:43:15.059 --> 00:43:15.920
 we know

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:16.220
 that in

00:43:16.220 --> 00:43:16.619
 America

00:43:16.619 --> 00:43:17.300
 it's a

00:43:17.300 --> 00:43:17.639
 time of

00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:18.280
 thanksgiving

00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:18.840
 there as

00:43:18.840 --> 00:43:19.300
 well.

00:43:19.900 --> 00:43:20.260
 Well a

00:43:20.260 --> 00:43:20.559
 British

00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:21.480
 newspaper

00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:22.400
 started

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:23.460
 had an

00:43:23.460 --> 00:43:24.260
 article about

00:43:24.260 --> 00:43:25.400
 this and

00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:26.000
 the headline

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:26.619
 was

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:27.960
 Thanksgiving

00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:29.679
 the latest

00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:30.500
 US

00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:31.240
 tradition

00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:32.139
 to take

00:43:32.139 --> 00:43:33.000
 root in

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:33.519
 the UK.

00:43:34.759 --> 00:43:35.199
 And in

00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:35.719
 the article

00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:36.139
 they said

00:43:36.139 --> 00:43:36.639
 Thanksgiving

00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:37.239
 has no

00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:38.439
 place in

00:43:38.439 --> 00:43:38.859
 British

00:43:38.859 --> 00:43:39.459
 tradition.

00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:41.559
 And you

00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:41.919
 think to

00:43:41.919 --> 00:43:42.299
 yourself

00:43:42.299 --> 00:43:42.819
 wow

00:43:42.819 --> 00:43:44.599
 how could

00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:45.219
 we possibly

00:43:45.219 --> 00:43:46.179
 be thinking

00:43:46.179 --> 00:43:47.199
 along these

00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:47.619
 lines.

00:43:48.099 --> 00:43:48.839
 Now in part

00:43:48.839 --> 00:43:49.459
 you could see

00:43:49.459 --> 00:43:49.919
 what they were

00:43:49.919 --> 00:43:50.239
 meaning.

00:43:50.899 --> 00:43:51.379
 We don't

00:43:51.379 --> 00:43:52.479
 have turkey

00:43:52.479 --> 00:43:53.000
 just now

00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:53.379
 like they

00:43:53.379 --> 00:43:53.659
 do in

00:43:53.659 --> 00:43:54.079
 America.

00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:54.919
 We don't

00:43:54.919 --> 00:43:55.519
 sit and watch

00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:56.000
 American

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.739
 football which

00:43:56.739 --> 00:43:57.339
 is such a

00:43:57.339 --> 00:43:58.039
 big part of

00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:58.239
 their

00:43:58.239 --> 00:43:58.919
 Thanksgiving

00:43:58.920 --> 00:43:59.960
 weekend.

00:44:00.500 --> 00:44:01.180
 We think

00:44:01.180 --> 00:44:01.960
 we don't

00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:02.680
 have that.

00:44:02.820 --> 00:44:03.139
 But to

00:44:03.139 --> 00:44:03.539
 say

00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:04.639
 Thanksgiving

00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:05.460
 has no

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:06.220
 place in

00:44:06.220 --> 00:44:06.539
 British

00:44:06.539 --> 00:44:07.180
 tradition.

00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:08.760
 You know

00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:09.519
 sadly there's

00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:10.840
 truth in

00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:11.599
 that writing.

00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:13.119
 It's because

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:14.000
 we've lost a

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:14.639
 focus on

00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:15.700
 God and

00:44:15.700 --> 00:44:16.200
 Thanksgiving

00:44:16.200 --> 00:44:16.900
 almost has

00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:17.579
 no part

00:44:17.579 --> 00:44:17.940
 now.

00:44:19.420 --> 00:44:20.019
 But it

00:44:20.019 --> 00:44:20.320
 doesn't mean

00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:20.720
 that we are

00:44:20.720 --> 00:44:21.860
 not to be

00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:22.320
 thankful.

00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:23.400
 Because we

00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:24.119
 have so much

00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:24.539
 to be

00:44:24.539 --> 00:44:25.500
 thankful for.

00:44:25.500 --> 00:44:26.820
 not taking

00:44:26.820 --> 00:44:27.559
 in all

00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:27.719
 the

00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:28.219
 trappings

00:44:28.219 --> 00:44:28.739
 that might

00:44:28.739 --> 00:44:29.260
 go with

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:29.539
 it.

00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:30.920
 But having

00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:31.780
 a focus

00:44:31.780 --> 00:44:33.260
 on God.

00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:34.519
 Thanksgiving

00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:35.360
 should very

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:36.320
 much have

00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:36.900
 a place

00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:37.480
 in British

00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:38.039
 tradition.

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:38.900
 As in

00:44:38.900 --> 00:44:39.280
 every

00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:39.860
 tradition.

00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:41.079
 Because

00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:41.639
 Thanksgiving

00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:43.099
 is to

00:44:43.099 --> 00:44:43.559
 God.

00:44:44.980 --> 00:44:45.300
 And so

00:44:45.300 --> 00:44:45.599
 we are to

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:46.559
 be thankful

00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:47.340
 to God

00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:48.139
 in the

00:44:48.139 --> 00:44:48.539
 present

00:44:48.539 --> 00:44:49.500
 circumstances

00:44:49.500 --> 00:44:50.000
 of where

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:50.500
 we are

00:44:50.500 --> 00:44:51.519
 for all

00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:51.880
 that he

00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:52.420
 has given

00:44:52.420 --> 00:44:53.360
 to us.

00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:54.960
 Again

00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:55.280
 another

00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:55.599
 writer

00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:56.199
 G.K.

00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:56.820
 Chesterton

00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:57.240
 put it

00:44:57.240 --> 00:44:57.720
 like this.

00:44:58.220 --> 00:44:58.480
 When it

00:44:58.480 --> 00:44:59.119
 comes to

00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:00.119
 life the

00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:00.500
 critical

00:45:00.500 --> 00:45:01.139
 thing is

00:45:01.139 --> 00:45:01.539
 whether you

00:45:01.539 --> 00:45:02.300
 take things

00:45:02.300 --> 00:45:03.220
 for granted

00:45:03.220 --> 00:45:04.760
 or take

00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:05.300
 them with

00:45:05.300 --> 00:45:06.019
 gratitude.

00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:07.980
 Isn't that

00:45:07.980 --> 00:45:08.740
 so true

00:45:08.740 --> 00:45:09.500
 of our

00:45:09.500 --> 00:45:09.720
 own

00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:10.340
 experience?

00:45:10.579 --> 00:45:10.800
 Do we

00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:11.400
 take things

00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:12.340
 for granted

00:45:12.340 --> 00:45:13.800
 or do we

00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:14.420
 take them

00:45:14.420 --> 00:45:15.820
 with gratitude?

00:45:17.420 --> 00:45:18.119
 So much

00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:18.460
 we just

00:45:18.460 --> 00:45:19.679
 take for

00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:20.199
 granted.

00:45:20.619 --> 00:45:21.440
 So much

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:21.860
 in life

00:45:21.860 --> 00:45:22.179
 we just

00:45:22.179 --> 00:45:23.059
 think it's

00:45:23.059 --> 00:45:23.539
 going to

00:45:23.539 --> 00:45:24.059
 be there.

00:45:24.059 --> 00:45:25.239
 We go

00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:25.659
 to our

00:45:25.659 --> 00:45:26.099
 fridge,

00:45:26.259 --> 00:45:26.500
 we go

00:45:26.500 --> 00:45:26.920
 to our

00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:27.340
 freezer,

00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:27.759
 we go

00:45:27.759 --> 00:45:28.179
 to our

00:45:28.179 --> 00:45:28.579
 cupboard.

00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:29.259
 There's

00:45:29.259 --> 00:45:29.940
 food there

00:45:29.940 --> 00:45:31.099
 in abundance

00:45:31.099 --> 00:45:31.940
 of selection.

00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:32.920
 We go

00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:33.380
 to our

00:45:33.380 --> 00:45:34.279
 supermarkets,

00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:34.599
 we go

00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:34.960
 to our

00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:35.460
 shops,

00:45:35.980 --> 00:45:36.279
 we go

00:45:36.279 --> 00:45:36.579
 there and

00:45:36.579 --> 00:45:36.980
 we see

00:45:36.980 --> 00:45:38.699
 a selection

00:45:38.699 --> 00:45:39.360
 of different

00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:40.559
 kinds of

00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:41.119
 foods from

00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:41.799
 all over

00:45:41.799 --> 00:45:42.840
 the world.

00:45:43.980 --> 00:45:44.480
 We take

00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:44.779
 it for

00:45:44.779 --> 00:45:45.259
 granted.

00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:46.880
 And we

00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:47.320
 forget that

00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:47.559
 there were

00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:48.619
 days when

00:45:48.619 --> 00:45:49.159
 cupboards

00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:49.759
 were bare.

00:45:50.059 --> 00:45:50.579
 We forget

00:45:50.579 --> 00:45:50.840
 that there

00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:51.380
 were days

00:45:51.380 --> 00:45:51.659
 when there

00:45:51.659 --> 00:45:52.019
 was no

00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:52.900
 food to

00:45:52.900 --> 00:45:53.259
 put on

00:45:53.260 --> 00:45:53.800
 the table.

00:45:54.200 --> 00:45:54.660
 We forget

00:45:54.660 --> 00:45:54.940
 that there

00:45:54.940 --> 00:45:55.400
 were days

00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:55.760
 and even

00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:56.720
 today for

00:45:56.720 --> 00:45:57.340
 some it

00:45:57.340 --> 00:45:57.680
 is a

00:45:57.680 --> 00:45:58.720
 struggle to

00:45:58.720 --> 00:45:59.380
 put food

00:45:59.380 --> 00:46:00.020
 on the

00:46:00.020 --> 00:46:00.440
 table.

00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:01.940
 We take

00:46:01.940 --> 00:46:02.560
 so much

00:46:02.560 --> 00:46:03.940
 for granted.

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:05.720
 And yet

00:46:05.720 --> 00:46:06.220
 the word

00:46:06.220 --> 00:46:06.760
 of God

00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:07.280
 is always

00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:07.700
 saying

00:46:07.700 --> 00:46:08.740
 remember.

00:46:09.600 --> 00:46:10.200
 Remember

00:46:10.200 --> 00:46:11.200
 the Lord.

00:46:11.900 --> 00:46:12.320
 Remember

00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:13.480
 what he has

00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:14.080
 given to

00:46:14.080 --> 00:46:14.240
 you.

00:46:14.380 --> 00:46:14.780
 Look to

00:46:14.780 --> 00:46:15.600
 him and

00:46:15.600 --> 00:46:16.160
 to his

00:46:16.160 --> 00:46:16.660
 word.

00:46:17.660 --> 00:46:18.040
 And often

00:46:18.040 --> 00:46:18.600
 in God's

00:46:18.600 --> 00:46:19.120
 word you

00:46:19.120 --> 00:46:20.540
 see a

00:46:20.540 --> 00:46:21.000
 way is

00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:21.380
 put in

00:46:21.380 --> 00:46:22.120
 place that

00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:22.659
 is a

00:46:22.659 --> 00:46:23.239
 constant

00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:23.900
 ongoing

00:46:23.900 --> 00:46:25.099
 remembrance.

00:46:26.819 --> 00:46:27.359
 Even

00:46:27.359 --> 00:46:27.940
 as the

00:46:27.940 --> 00:46:28.420
 children of

00:46:28.420 --> 00:46:29.119
 Israel came

00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:29.519
 out of

00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:30.139
 Egypt they

00:46:30.139 --> 00:46:30.839
 did so

00:46:30.839 --> 00:46:31.519
 with a

00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:31.980
 remembrance

00:46:31.980 --> 00:46:32.639
 of the

00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:33.239
 Passover.

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:34.319
 How the

00:46:34.319 --> 00:46:35.519
 Lord delivered

00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:36.119
 them in

00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:36.839
 that night.

00:46:37.759 --> 00:46:38.000
 And the

00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:38.719
 Passover was

00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:39.960
 to be

00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:40.460
 remembered

00:46:40.460 --> 00:46:41.400
 going

00:46:41.400 --> 00:46:42.159
 forward.

00:46:42.619 --> 00:46:43.099
 To remember

00:46:43.099 --> 00:46:44.039
 their deliverance

00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:45.139
 from Egypt.

00:46:46.279 --> 00:46:46.579
 And then

00:46:46.579 --> 00:46:47.279
 throughout the

00:46:47.279 --> 00:46:47.920
 Old Testament

00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:48.400
 you find

00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:49.400
 different points.

00:46:50.059 --> 00:46:50.480
 And especially

00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:50.980
 putting up

00:46:50.980 --> 00:46:53.079
 stone piles

00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:54.000
 of remembrance.

00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:55.139
 In Joshua

00:46:55.139 --> 00:46:56.440
 chapter 4

00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:57.219
 verse 6

00:46:57.219 --> 00:46:57.800
 it says

00:46:57.800 --> 00:46:58.880
 taking these

00:46:58.880 --> 00:46:59.380
 stones

00:46:59.380 --> 00:47:00.539
 may be a

00:47:00.539 --> 00:47:01.219
 sign among

00:47:01.219 --> 00:47:01.559
 you when

00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:02.119
 your children

00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:02.760
 ask you

00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:03.260
 in time

00:47:03.260 --> 00:47:03.820
 to come

00:47:03.820 --> 00:47:04.559
 what do

00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:05.360
 these stones

00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:05.780
 mean?

00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:06.579
 Then you

00:47:06.579 --> 00:47:07.099
 shall tell

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:07.440
 them that

00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:08.019
 the waters

00:47:08.019 --> 00:47:08.400
 of the

00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:08.740
 Jordan

00:47:08.740 --> 00:47:09.320
 were cut

00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:09.940
 off before

00:47:09.940 --> 00:47:10.460
 the ark

00:47:10.460 --> 00:47:11.199
 of the

00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:11.539
 covenant

00:47:11.539 --> 00:47:11.960
 of the

00:47:11.960 --> 00:47:12.260
 Lord.

00:47:12.940 --> 00:47:13.320
 So they

00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:14.000
 went across

00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:14.619
 the dry

00:47:14.619 --> 00:47:15.139
 ground

00:47:15.139 --> 00:47:16.059
 of the

00:47:16.059 --> 00:47:16.480
 Jordan

00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:17.179
 and they

00:47:17.179 --> 00:47:17.619
 set up

00:47:17.619 --> 00:47:17.800
 a

00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:18.440
 remembrance

00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:18.980
 there

00:47:18.980 --> 00:47:19.760
 of the

00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:20.240
 Lord's

00:47:20.240 --> 00:47:21.179
 deliverance.

00:47:21.980 --> 00:47:23.099
 In 1 Samuel

00:47:23.099 --> 00:47:23.720
 7

00:47:23.720 --> 00:47:24.980
 Samuel it

00:47:24.980 --> 00:47:25.420
 says there

00:47:25.420 --> 00:47:25.880
 took a

00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:26.340
 stone

00:47:26.340 --> 00:47:26.920
 the

00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:27.579
 Ebenezer

00:47:27.579 --> 00:47:28.119
 stone

00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:29.039
 and set

00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:29.300
 it up

00:47:29.300 --> 00:47:29.599
 between

00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:30.200
 Mizpah

00:47:30.200 --> 00:47:30.380
 and

00:47:30.380 --> 00:47:30.720
 Shen

00:47:30.720 --> 00:47:31.639
 he called

00:47:31.639 --> 00:47:31.920
 it the

00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:32.480
 Ebenezer

00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:32.920
 stone

00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:33.280
 for he

00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:33.539
 said

00:47:33.539 --> 00:47:34.559
 till now

00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:35.179
 the Lord

00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:36.179
 has helped

00:47:36.179 --> 00:47:36.420
 us.

00:47:36.579 --> 00:47:36.980
 Hitherto

00:47:36.980 --> 00:47:38.400
 the Lord

00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:39.240
 has helped

00:47:39.240 --> 00:47:39.559
 us.

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:40.480
 So there's

00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:40.700
 this

00:47:40.700 --> 00:47:41.480
 remembrance

00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:42.880
 ongoing.

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:44.360
 In the

00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:45.300
 last few

00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:45.880
 weeks we've

00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:46.780
 come to do

00:47:46.780 --> 00:47:47.680
 remembrance

00:47:47.680 --> 00:47:48.180
 day.

00:47:49.100 --> 00:47:49.620
 Remembering

00:47:49.620 --> 00:47:50.380
 deliverance

00:47:50.380 --> 00:47:51.480
 from times

00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:52.220
 of war

00:47:52.220 --> 00:47:53.360
 an annual

00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:54.040
 event that

00:47:54.040 --> 00:47:54.700
 takes place

00:47:54.700 --> 00:47:55.900
 lest we

00:47:55.900 --> 00:47:56.560
 forget.

00:47:57.440 --> 00:47:58.120
 Next week

00:47:58.120 --> 00:47:58.740
 God willing

00:47:58.740 --> 00:47:59.700
 we will have

00:47:59.700 --> 00:48:00.360
 the Lord's

00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:00.680
 supper

00:48:00.680 --> 00:48:02.140
 a remembrance

00:48:02.140 --> 00:48:03.180
 of our

00:48:03.180 --> 00:48:03.560
 great

00:48:03.560 --> 00:48:04.140
 deliverance

00:48:04.140 --> 00:48:04.760
 from sin

00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:05.880
 that as we

00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:06.200
 put our

00:48:06.200 --> 00:48:06.860
 faith in

00:48:06.860 --> 00:48:07.180
 the Lord

00:48:07.180 --> 00:48:07.680
 Jesus

00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:08.740
 we have

00:48:08.740 --> 00:48:09.000
 that

00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:09.780
 deliverance

00:48:09.780 --> 00:48:10.780
 that salvation

00:48:10.780 --> 00:48:11.460
 from our

00:48:11.460 --> 00:48:11.880
 sin.

00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:13.000
 Again we

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:13.519
 do that

00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:14.740
 in remembrance

00:48:14.740 --> 00:48:16.200
 of him.

00:48:16.780 --> 00:48:17.820
 And so our

00:48:17.820 --> 00:48:18.500
 thanksgiving

00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:19.220
 today is

00:48:19.220 --> 00:48:19.640
 in light

00:48:19.640 --> 00:48:20.380
 of so

00:48:20.380 --> 00:48:20.660
 many

00:48:20.660 --> 00:48:21.100
 different

00:48:21.100 --> 00:48:21.700
 things

00:48:21.700 --> 00:48:22.540
 going on

00:48:22.540 --> 00:48:23.420
 around us.

00:48:23.980 --> 00:48:24.280
 In our

00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:25.519
 present we

00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:26.420
 thank God

00:48:26.420 --> 00:48:27.560
 for all

00:48:27.560 --> 00:48:27.900
 that he

00:48:27.900 --> 00:48:28.500
 is doing

00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:29.680
 for us.

00:48:30.460 --> 00:48:30.940
 We do

00:48:30.940 --> 00:48:31.680
 that coming

00:48:31.680 --> 00:48:32.660
 today remembering

00:48:32.660 --> 00:48:33.780
 as James

00:48:33.780 --> 00:48:34.420
 acknowledges

00:48:34.420 --> 00:48:35.000
 in the New

00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:35.540
 Testament

00:48:35.540 --> 00:48:36.980
 every good

00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:38.120
 gift and

00:48:38.120 --> 00:48:39.160
 every perfect

00:48:39.160 --> 00:48:40.400
 gift is

00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.140
 from above

00:48:41.140 --> 00:48:42.260
 coming down

00:48:42.260 --> 00:48:42.760
 from the

00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:43.900
 father of

00:48:43.900 --> 00:48:44.480
 lights with

00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:45.360
 whom there

00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:45.680
 is no

00:48:45.680 --> 00:48:46.579
 variation or

00:48:46.579 --> 00:48:47.260
 shadow due

00:48:47.260 --> 00:48:48.079
 to change.

00:48:48.860 --> 00:48:49.360
 We look to

00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:49.860
 the one

00:48:49.860 --> 00:48:51.019
 who never

00:48:51.019 --> 00:48:52.099
 changes.

00:48:53.019 --> 00:48:53.360
 We are

00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:53.980
 dependent

00:48:53.980 --> 00:48:55.460
 upon him.

00:48:56.360 --> 00:48:57.000
 We have

00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:58.800
 past help

00:48:58.800 --> 00:48:59.960
 to remind

00:48:59.960 --> 00:49:00.380
 us of

00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:00.920
 thanksgiving.

00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:01.320
 We have

00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:02.380
 present

00:49:02.380 --> 00:49:03.559
 thanksgiving

00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:04.480
 too as we

00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:04.920
 look to

00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:06.240
 Jesus who

00:49:06.240 --> 00:49:06.740
 is the

00:49:06.740 --> 00:49:07.940
 rock of

00:49:07.940 --> 00:49:08.960
 our salvation.

00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:10.620
 And just

00:49:10.620 --> 00:49:11.599
 we will think

00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:12.019
 here the

00:49:12.019 --> 00:49:12.579
 children of

00:49:12.579 --> 00:49:13.759
 Israel on

00:49:13.759 --> 00:49:14.239
 the border

00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:15.000
 of the

00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:15.539
 promised

00:49:15.539 --> 00:49:16.179
 land.

00:49:16.579 --> 00:49:17.099
 To go

00:49:17.099 --> 00:49:17.579
 in there

00:49:17.579 --> 00:49:18.299
 not

00:49:18.299 --> 00:49:19.059
 forgetting

00:49:19.059 --> 00:49:19.960
 the

00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:20.420
 Lord.

00:49:21.340 --> 00:49:21.799
 We could

00:49:21.799 --> 00:49:22.139
 say of

00:49:22.139 --> 00:49:22.659
 ourselves

00:49:22.659 --> 00:49:23.279
 today in

00:49:23.279 --> 00:49:23.940
 our present

00:49:23.940 --> 00:49:24.739
 situation

00:49:24.739 --> 00:49:26.059
 we too

00:49:26.059 --> 00:49:26.319
 are on

00:49:26.319 --> 00:49:26.860
 the border

00:49:26.860 --> 00:49:27.840
 of a

00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:28.299
 promised

00:49:28.299 --> 00:49:28.860
 land.

00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:30.000
 We are

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:30.239
 on the

00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:30.599
 border

00:49:30.599 --> 00:49:31.279
 of

00:49:31.279 --> 00:49:32.000
 eternity.

00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:33.079
 We are

00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:33.340
 on the

00:49:33.340 --> 00:49:33.739
 edge

00:49:33.739 --> 00:49:34.340
 of

00:49:34.340 --> 00:49:35.039
 eternity

00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:35.239
 and

00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:35.840
 eternity

00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:36.719
 is

00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:37.139
 before

00:49:37.139 --> 00:49:37.559
 us

00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:38.079
 all.

00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:39.840
 And

00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:40.099
 where

00:49:40.099 --> 00:49:40.360
 are we

00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:40.699
 going?

00:49:41.900 --> 00:49:42.380
 In

00:49:42.380 --> 00:49:42.739
 Matthew

00:49:42.739 --> 00:49:43.639
 25

00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:45.299
 Jesus

00:49:45.299 --> 00:49:45.719
 there

00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:46.360
 speaks

00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:46.719
 of

00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:47.440
 two

00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:48.019
 different

00:49:48.019 --> 00:49:48.659
 kingdoms

00:49:48.659 --> 00:49:49.079
 two

00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:49.739
 different

00:49:49.739 --> 00:49:50.519
 places.

00:49:51.500 --> 00:49:51.579
 In

00:49:51.579 --> 00:49:51.819
 Matthew

00:49:51.819 --> 00:49:52.639
 25

00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:53.420
 verse

00:49:53.420 --> 00:49:53.900
 34

00:49:53.900 --> 00:49:54.199
 and this

00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:54.500
 is in

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:54.940
 light of

00:49:54.940 --> 00:49:55.199
 those

00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:55.400
 who have

00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:55.539
 been

00:49:55.539 --> 00:49:56.159
 faithful

00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:56.839
 in

00:49:56.839 --> 00:49:56.980
 what

00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:57.119
 the

00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:57.360
 Lord

00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:57.579
 has

00:49:57.579 --> 00:49:57.860
 given

00:49:57.860 --> 00:49:58.159
 to

00:49:58.159 --> 00:49:58.420
 them.

00:49:59.279 --> 00:49:59.480
 He

00:49:59.480 --> 00:49:59.839
 says

00:49:59.839 --> 00:50:00.099
 there

00:50:00.099 --> 00:50:00.279
 to

00:50:00.279 --> 00:50:00.559
 those

00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:00.679
 who

00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:00.759
 have

00:50:00.759 --> 00:50:00.880
 been

00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:01.460
 faithful

 the

00:54:41.539 --> 00:54:42.039
 condition

00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:42.319

 state

00:54:42.739 --> 00:54:42.900
 of

00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:48.159
 constantly

00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:48.440
 we're

00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:48.980
 reminded

00:54:48.980 --> 00:54:50.139
 that when

 we are

00:54:50.400 --> 00:54:50.839
 truly

00:54:50.839 --> 00:54:51.440
 thankful

00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:51.759
 to

00:54:51.759 --> 00:54:52.159
 God

00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:53.279
 there is

 there is

00:54:56.699 --> 00:54:56.699


00:54:56.699 --> 00:54:57.159
 a poem

00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:57.579
 called

00:54:57.579 --> 00:54:57.920
 out

00:54:57.920 --> 00:54:58.079
 of

00:54:58.079 --> 00:54:58.239

00:54:58.239 --> 00:54:58.739
 darkness

00:54:58.739 --> 00:55:00.059
 and

00:55:00.059 --> 00:55:00.179
 it

00:55:00.179 --> 00:55:00.639
 reminds

00:55:01.380 --> 00:55:02.059
 times

00:55:02.059 --> 00:55:02.679
 of

00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:03.199
 testing

00:55:03.199 --> 00:55:03.619
 needed

00:55:03.619 --> 00:55:04.759
 for

00:55:04.759 --> 00:55:05.259
 times

00:55:05.259 --> 00:55:05.500
 of

00:55:05.500 --> 00:55:05.920
 joy

00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:06.559
 to

00:55:08.179 --> 00:55:08.420
 poem

00:55:08.420 --> 00:55:08.759
 goes

00:55:08.759 --> 00:55:08.980
 like

00:55:08.980 --> 00:55:09.360
 this

00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:10.400
 out

00:55:10.400 --> 00:55:10.559
 of

00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:10.699
 the

00:55:10.699 --> 00:55:11.099
 dark

00:55:11.099 --> 00:55:11.759
 forbidding

00:55:15.059 --> 00:55:16.079
 out

00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:16.219
 of

00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:19.440

00:55:20.300 --> 00:55:20.920
 snow

00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:22.200

00:55:26.639 --> 00:55:27.039
 born

00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:28.019
 out

00:55:28.019 --> 00:55:28.159

00:55:33.180 --> 00:55:34.400
 out

00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:34.559
 of

00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:34.720
 the

00:55:34.720 --> 00:55:35.220
 pain

00:55:35.220 --> 00:55:35.880
 and

00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:36.460
 stress

00:55:36.460 --> 00:55:36.800
 of

00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:37.220
 life

00:55:37.220 --> 00:55:37.880
 the

 peace

00:55:38.320 --> 00:55:38.619
 of

 pours

00:55:39.579 --> 00:55:39.920
 down

00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:41.000
 out

00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:41.159

00:55:47.860 --> 00:55:50.159
 we are

00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:50.759
 reminded

00:55:50.759 --> 00:55:51.139
 there

00:55:51.139 --> 00:55:51.319
 that

00:55:51.319 --> 00:55:51.639
 out

00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:51.779
 of

00:55:51.779 --> 00:55:51.940
 the

00:55:51.940 --> 00:55:52.399
 darkness

00:55:52.399 --> 00:55:53.659
 can

00:55:53.659 --> 00:55:54.000
 come

00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:54.659
 something

00:55:54.659 --> 00:55:55.359
 of

00:55:55.359 --> 00:55:55.879
 beauty

00:55:55.879 --> 00:55:57.219
 and

00:55:57.219 --> 00:55:57.379
 even

00:55:57.379 --> 00:55:57.500
 in

00:55:57.500 --> 00:55:57.639
 the

00:55:57.639 --> 00:55:57.940
 world

00:55:57.940 --> 00:55:58.159
 in

00:55:58.159 --> 00:55:58.339
 which

00:55:58.339 --> 00:55:58.519
 we

00:55:58.519 --> 00:55:58.759
 live

00:55:58.759 --> 00:55:58.980
 which

00:55:58.980 --> 00:55:59.219
 has

00:55:59.219 --> 00:55:59.799
 so

00:55:59.799 --> 00:56:00.000
 little

00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:00.480
 thought

00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:00.679
 of

 thankfulness

00:56:01.460 --> 00:56:01.679
 to

00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:01.980
 God

00:56:01.980 --> 00:56:02.119
 or

00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:02.759
 dependence

00:56:02.759 --> 00:56:03.779
 on

00:56:03.779 --> 00:56:04.219
 God

00:56:04.219 --> 00:56:05.359
 still

00:56:05.359 --> 00:56:05.699
 out

00:56:05.699 --> 00:56:05.879
 of

00:56:05.879 --> 00:56:06.239
 that

00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:07.019
 can

00:56:07.019 --> 00:56:07.279
 come

00:56:07.279 --> 00:56:07.899
 praise

00:56:07.899 --> 00:56:08.239
 to

00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:08.639
 God

00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:09.719
 our

00:56:09.719 --> 00:56:10.099
 prayer

00:58:34.099 --> 00:58:36.099
 is

00:58:36.099 --> 00:58:38.099
 wonderful

00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:38.099


00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:41.099
!

00:58:41.099 --> 00:58:41.099


00:58:41.099 --> 00:58:42.059
 fold

00:58:42.059 --> 00:58:42.059


00:58:42.059 --> 00:58:42.059


00:58:42.059 --> 00:58:42.719
 extending

00:58:42.719 --> 00:58:43.619
 to

00:58:43.619 --> 00:58:47.119
 the sky

00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:48.339
!

00:58:48.339 --> 00:58:48.759
 Your

00:58:48.759 --> 00:58:50.480
 righteousness

00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:53.099
 is

00:58:53.099 --> 00:58:54.480
 very

00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:56.159
 great

00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:57.259
 like

00:58:57.259 --> 00:58:59.059
 mountains

00:58:59.059 --> 00:59:00.380
 high

00:59:00.380 --> 00:59:02.099
 and steep

00:59:02.099 --> 00:59:18.099
 Your justice is like ocean death, both man and beast you keep.

00:59:18.099 --> 00:59:34.099
 How precious is your steadfast love, what confidence it brings.

00:59:34.099 --> 00:59:50.339
 O thy love, find shelter in the shadow of your wings.

00:59:50.340 --> 01:00:05.340
 They feast within your hearts and play from streams of your delight.

01:00:05.340 --> 01:00:21.340
 For with you is the source of light, in your light we see light.

01:00:23.180 --> 01:00:25.579
 After the benediction, I'll go to the door to my left.

01:00:25.660 --> 01:00:27.260
 We'll close with a benediction.

01:00:27.260 --> 01:00:37.320
 Now may grace, mercy and peace from God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit rest upon and abide with you all now and forevermore.

01:00:37.720 --> 01:00:38.180
 Amen.

01:00:57.260 --> 01:00:58.260
 Amen.
