  Hello friends, it's Sean here. And it's Yvonne 2.
• 0:15
  It's a Friday. The final Friday.
• 0:18
  In January. It is the final Friday and it's
• 0:21
  your first day back at work. It's my first day yet, boy.
• 0:25
  Sorry about that. No, I'm excited.
• 0:27
  How wonderful. How good are you being excited
• 0:30
  about going back to work after this length of holiday?
• 0:33
  That's like a major character. Victory or I think I'm pretty
• 0:37
  spoilt to have had such a great break and come.
• 0:39
  Back refreshed. Isn't summer the best?
• 0:42
  Summer is the best, And look at you pointing at the proverb.
• 0:45
  That's enough preamble, she says.
• 0:47
  Let's get down enough from us. Let's get into the Bible.
• 0:50
  OK, done. We are reading the last handful
• 0:55
  of Proverbs from Proverbs chapter 20 today.
• 0:58
  These beautiful little moments of wisdom that we can reflect on
• 1:03
  and see how we can make the most of them in our lives today.
• 1:07
  So how about we read the mate? Excellent.
• 1:09
  Let's read together Proverbs 2024 to 30.
• 1:24
  The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything
• 1:28
  along the way? Don't trap yourself by making a
• 1:33
  rash promise to God and only later counting the cost.
• 1:39
  A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat, then runs his
• 1:43
  threshing wheel over them. The Lord's light penetrates the
• 1:48
  human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.
• 1:54
  Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the King.
• 1:58
  His throne is made secure through love.
• 2:02
  The glory of the young is their strength, the grey hair of
• 2:06
  experience is the splendour of the old.
• 2:11
  Physical punishment cleanses away evil.
• 2:14
  Such discipline purifies the heart.
• 2:19
  And again. The Lord directs our steps, so
• 2:23
  why try to understand everything along the way?
• 2:28
  Don't trap yourself by making a rash promise to God and only
• 2:32
  later counting the cost. A wise king scatters the wicked
• 2:38
  like wheat, then runs his threshing wheel over them.
• 2:43
  The Lord's light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every
• 2:47
  hidden motive. Unfailing love and faithfulness
• 2:53
  protect the King. His throne is made secure
• 2:56
  through love. The glory of the young is their
• 3:01
  strength, the grey hair of experience is the splendour of
• 3:06
  the old. Physical punishment cleanses
• 3:10
  away evil. Such discipline purifies the
• 3:13
  heart. I feel like I could talk about
• 3:27
  each one of those. There's so much in there.
• 3:31
  And I feel like there's a few that are a little bit.
• 3:32
  Confusing that. Just kind of gel with my ears.
• 3:35
  Just a. Little bit.
• 3:37
  I really love the the first one the Lord directs our steps.
• 3:40
  So why try to understand everything along the way?
• 3:44
  You know, God saying I've got your back, I've got your back.
• 3:46
  You don't need to stress about the details.
• 3:48
  And then that kind of reflects here in the the love and
• 3:51
  faithfulness protects a king and the throne is made secure
• 3:55
  through love. And, and I would see that as you
• 3:57
  know, God's love and faithfulness is the thing that
• 4:00
  enables the kings to rule and us to do what we need to do on a
• 4:04
  daily basis. So we can just let go and say,
• 4:06
  hey, God, you've got this and you love us.
• 4:07
  So we can be confident in that. I like thinking that God has the
• 4:13
  whole big picture, and if we can trust the big picture to God,
• 4:16
  then maybe every tiny minutiae is not as important.
• 4:20
  Yeah, Lord, thank you that you do hold the totality of life in
• 4:27
  your hands, and these are hands of love and faithfulness that
• 4:33
  kings can rest in and that we can rest in.
• 4:38
  Well, thank You that when we rely on You and we love you day
• 4:43
  to day that that we don't need to be anxious about the small
• 4:47
  details of our life, but we can just trust them to you and not
• 4:51
  sit back and do nothing but not let them get the better of our
• 4:54
  hearts with anxiety. So Lord, we place our lives in
• 4:58
  your hands. Well, they were already there in
• 5:00
  the 1st place. We acknowledge that you hold our
• 5:03
  lives and we commit them to You. And thank You that You have our
• 5:09
  back and you see it all, You know it all, You care for it
• 5:12
  all, and you lead us through every day.
• 5:15
  And we pray this in the name of your Son Jesus, Amen.
