• 0:51
  Speaker 1: chapter four. I know you've opened your Bible. I know
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you've read it, or we'll be reading it. Do you
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: notice how it's being sung and played on a guitar
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like instrument? Do you notice that in the evening and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: as you go through the Psalm Chapter four today or
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: whenever you happen to see do you notice the three
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: parts you're going to see, like in verses one through three,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you see a crime, and then verses four through five,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: then you see the correction. And then when you get
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to verses six through eight, and then you see confidence, reliance, confidence.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: So let's go back. I know you are as beginning
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the Psalm chapter four, especially as you look at verses
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: one through three, because you can remember now you're going
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to have in trouble sleeping. Do you notice when you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: look at verses one through three, how a God's people?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's you always find prayer during the challenging trials
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of our lives to be a refuge and we're going
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: through that trouble. Listen to David's cry. Now you tell
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: about a man with a title, You tell about a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: man with power. David said in Crying Out to God,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: hear me when I call on you have mercy on me.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Hear me, hear my prayer when I am distressed. Now
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you know this, Think about that. That's true. Why you
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: hear me? Ask you to ponder, think about the challenging
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: trials is in your own life? You know that's distressed
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: because there's pressure and the question you got to ask
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and answer whether you're having problems sleeping at night or
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: just going through the day, are you face seeing those
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: challenging pressures today in your life? And if you are
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: expect that you're entering twenty twenty five, a brand new
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: day of brand new year, you can call on God
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: for help. But the question is are you going to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: call on? Because you see how David a king wants
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a shepherd boy, a father or husband, a son, a brother,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a sibling. How David continues to ask for help, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you notice how he did so with reliance confidence that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: God heard his prayer. And then when you go to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: verses four through five, do you notice how David kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of warns you and I. Next, remember now all scripture
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: are not to us, but it can be applied to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: our life if it's applicable. But you notice how he says,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: stand in awe, notice tremble and don't say him. Remember
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: now you will thoughts words and these, And then always
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you notice how David calls you and I to worship
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and trust in God. And when you go into the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: New Testament, and I know you're writing it down and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: turn in the Book of Ephesians, you notice the apostle
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: all takes the same slated over chapter four, verse twenty six,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: be angry and do not saying, think about what David's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: talking about in confidence, David's heart like yours, like mine,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like mine, like George. Do you know how it failed
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: us in those challenging trials, those troubled times. But we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: know what David found out, and maybe that's what you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: found out. I have. He found out that God was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: good to him, and the question got to ask and answer,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: your own life hasn't been good to you, He's been
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: good to me. Around David were people who mocked him, saying,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you know, God's not gonna do anything for you. We
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: know what David said in Faith, Reliance Faith. He said,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: let the light of your faith shine on us. Lord,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Look how powerful that is. And he continues, you put
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: more joy in my heart than all the wine and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: harvests could offer. Can you say the same thing, my
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: brother of the house Old the faith that God has
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: done for you and that challenging trial of your life
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: today January the fifth, God and God alone can make
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it real and good for you or I. And that's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what you can remember as you lie down, if God
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: allows you to lay down this night whenever you lay down,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: remember as you lay down in peace and get that sleep,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the only God can give you. A human doctor can't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: give it to you, your husband and your wife, your wife,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: your husband and boyfriend, girl, a girl and a boyfriend,
