1
00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:06,300
I was reading the other day and 
just happen to run across Psalm 

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:10,600
46. 
And reading through that chapter

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,400
it really kind of hit home with 
things that are going on in the 

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,400
world today. 
And you know, I think we just 

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,200
sometimes need to be comforted 
in some ways and be assured and 

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,200
be strengthened in our faith. 
And this chapter, I believe does

7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,299
that And so this is really just 
a chapter study, a word study if

8
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:36,700
you want of several verses. 
So it's kind of dry in a sense, 

9
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:38,500
but I hope that you get out of 
it. 

10
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:41,400
What what I did we're going to 
start off. 

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,700
In the first verse of chapter 
46, 46 of the, Psalms of David. 

12
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:53,500
Says to the chief musician, a 
Psalm of the sons of Korah a 

13
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:59,000
song for a lamothe. 
God is our refuge and strength. 

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,400
A very present help in trouble. 
He talks about this God of our 

15
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,900
refuge. 
It says, in other words, God is 

16
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:12,600
a place where we can go, where 
we can Flee for safety and he's 

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,000
a source of strength in times of
danger, the word refuge means to

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,900
flee and and then to flee, to 
order to take shelter in and 

19
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,800
denotes a place to, which one 
would flee into. 

20
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:31,300
Times of danger as a lofty wall.
A Hightower a fort or a 

21
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:35,600
fortress. 
The idea is that the people of 

22
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,300
God, in times of danger, can 
find God to be that place of 

23
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,200
Refuge the word strength, 
implies that God is the source 

24
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,800
of strength, to those who are 
weak and defenseless, and that 

25
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,400
need help and need to some place
to go and to be comforted. 

26
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800
He talks about a very present 
help in trouble. 

27
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,500
The word trouble would help here
means, excuse me to give Aid to 

28
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,400
give assistance to and the word 
trouble would cover. 

29
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,200
All those all that can come upon
us, which would give us anxiety 

30
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,400
and sorrow. 
The word present means basically

31
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:27,000
near to Us close to us. 
So we look at such things that 

32
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,700
are going on in the world and in
all the distress and trouble and

33
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:34,200
things that are going on around 
us, we see it. 

34
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,200
We had maybe have an experience,
some of those but we see these 

35
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200
things going on and we worry 
about the economy, we worry 

36
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,200
about jobs, we worry about maybe
paying our bill, we worry bills,

37
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,200
we worry about all different 
kinds of things. 

38
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,200
The unrest that is going on in 
the world today and how that's 

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,400
going to maybe affect us and all
that. 

40
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,600
We put too much important 
sometimes on the things that are

41
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,100
going on in the world. 
And the writer says here that 

42
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:02,200
God is one that we can always 
turn to. 

43
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,400
We can always trust him, he was 
always near. 

44
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:10,000
He is always powerful. 
He is a place of Refuge to help 

45
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,400
in times of trouble for us. 
He is nearby and Hebrews 13 and 

46
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,700
verse 5. 
Therefore, excuse me, got to go 

47
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,100
one more. 
I went too far. 

48
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:28,600
Did I miss that one? 
I guess I missed that one. 

49
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,500
Sorry folks and Hebrews 13, 
Verse 5 lecture conduct be 

50
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:41,500
without covetousness. 
Be content with such things as 

51
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:45,500
you have for. 
He himself has said, I will 

52
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:50,800
never leave you nor forsake you 
You know, it's a terrible thing.

53
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,800
If someone leaves us in times of
trouble, someone that when we're

54
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,100
looking for help, when we're in 
time of need, someone would turn

55
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,700
their back on us and walk away. 
Well, he says, God is not that 

56
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:03,800
kind of person. 
He says, I will never leave you,

57
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:10,700
and I will never take forsake 
you True Refuge is only found in

58
00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:12,400
God. 
So, verse 2. 

59
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,399
He says, therefore we will not 
fear even though the Earth shall

60
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,899
be moved removed and though the 
mountains be carried into the 

61
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:25,500
midst of the sea. 
So, the psalmist, David here is 

62
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:29,000
really talking figuratively 
because I believe as has been 

63
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,500
said time and time again, that 
man will not destroy this Earth.

64
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:37,100
God will be the one that 
destroys this Earth we worry 

65
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:40,600
about and people worry about 
nuclear disasters and nuclear 

66
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,000
attacks and all these kinds of 
things that we have this war 

67
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
that that would just wipe man 
off the face of the Earth that 

68
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
will not happen because God will
be the one that destroys this 

69
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Earth. 
So David is talking from 

70
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:57,400
figuratively here and he says if
the the Earth should be 

71
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:06,700
dissolved and fall in pieces 
around him, in other words, I 

72
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:10,500
think I kind of messed up here. 
I'm sorry. 

73
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,500
There we go. 
Now I'm in the right place and 

74
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,400
this Earth represents the human 
things. 

75
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,100
The things that we see the 
things that we enjoy in this 

76
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:27,000
life, the things of this world 
The tangible things. 

77
00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:30,900
And his meaning is though there 
should be some kind of 

78
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,300
earthquakes or, or commotions or
problems in this world around 

79
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,200
us. 
Even though the countries and 

80
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,100
states would would be in Mass 
confusion and possibly even Wars

81
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,100
rebellions and tumults. 
And their gum and some 

82
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:50,300
governments might even be 
overturned by rebellions and 

83
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:53,900
Revolt of people. 
Even though the leaders and 

84
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:57,700
Powers turn against the church. 
And the people of God, though, 

85
00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:02,500
they would even want to ruin the
church and destroy the very 

86
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:05,900
things that we consider sacred 
and holy such as our worship to 

87
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:08,800
God. 
And at some point, maybe income 

88
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:17,000
and stop us from worshipping. 
Yet, we will not fear. knowing 

89
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
that all these troubles will end
well for the Christian and for 

90
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,700
the church in the body of 
Christ, if you're worth were to 

91
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:29,100
being removed, those that have 
reason to fear that have laid up

92
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:34,900
all their trust in the treasures
and things of this Earth, And 

93
00:06:34,900 --> 00:06:39,800
have set their hearts on those 
things, but not for those who 

94
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,500
have laid up for themselves, 
Treasures in Heaven. 

95
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:48,200
And who then can expect to be 
certainly happy when all the 

96
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,500
things of this Earth are 
dissolved and done away with. 

97
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,200
You know, I reminded of that 
song, the rocket Rock of Ages 

98
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:03,400
Rock of Ages cleft for me. 
Let me hide myself in thee. 

99
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:07,100
A cleft is a little niche or a 
little place that a person could

100
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,300
get into or slide into or be 
covered over when the storm 

101
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:15,400
would come and be able to find a
place of refuge. 

102
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:20,300
And God is that refuge for us, 
in times of trouble, in times of

103
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:23,600
fear and Times of distress and 
things of that nature. 

104
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:28,900
ER, he says, therefore we will 
not fear. 

105
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,900
Our confidence in God shall be 
in shaken. 

106
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:36,000
Having him for our refuge and 
strength and we can have nothing

107
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,700
to fear. 
Notice First, Timothy 1:7 For 

108
00:07:38,700 --> 00:07:43,400
God, has not given us a spirit 
of fear, but of power, and of 

109
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:49,000
love, and of a sound mind, you 
know, we will never know what 

110
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,900
true strength and peace is, 
until we believe in and trust 

111
00:07:54,100 --> 00:08:00,200
that God oversees everything. 
And and can do anything. 

112
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000
And we're going to notice a 
little bit more about that. 

113
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Satan is the one that's behind 
all the confusion. 

114
00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:11,000
Satan is the one that's behind 
all the uneasiness and the 

115
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,100
trouble, notice Matthew 8 + 44, 
you are of the, your father, the

116
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:21,300
devil, and the desires of your 
father, you want to do, he was a

117
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,600
murderer from the beginning and 
does not stand in the truth 

118
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:27,100
because there is no truth in 
him. 

119
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:31,000
When he speaks a lie, he speaks 
from his own resources. 

120
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400
For, he is a liar and the father
of it. 

121
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,799
Also notice second Corinthians 4
and verse 4, whose mind the God 

122
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,400
talking about a small G, not a 
big G. 

123
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:50,300
The God of this age has blinded 
Who do not believe less the 

124
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:53,700
light of the Gospel, the glory 
of Christ, who is the image of 

125
00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:59,400
God, should shine on them. 
So the devil is the one that is 

126
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:03,400
trying to control your thoughts,
your mind your processes and 

127
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,300
your mind to distress, you to 
trouble, you to have, you have 

128
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:15,600
fear He is the one that is the 
the author of confusion and and 

129
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:22,200
the one that causes the troubles
God is our refuge from that God 

130
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,700
is the place that we can go to 
for Comfort. 

131
00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:29,300
Certainly God is the one that is
in control. 

132
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,000
So it's a waste of time and it's
really unreasonable for the 

133
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,700
child of God to fear the things 
that are happening around us. 

134
00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:43,300
It's a waste of energy, it's a 
waste of resources. 

135
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:49,300
It's a waste of our time. 
Notice Philippians, 4:6-7, be 

136
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:53,700
anxious for nothing. 
But in everything by prayer and 

137
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:57,300
supplication with Thanksgiving, 
let your requests be made known 

138
00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:00,900
to God and the peace of God, 
which surpasses all 

139
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:05,300
understanding will guard your 
hearts and Minds through Jesus 

140
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:06,900
Christ through Christ. 
Jesus. 

141
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:13,200
God is the author of comfort. 
God is the author of hope. 

142
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,400
God is the author of things that
would calm us, and settle us 

143
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,900
down. 
Notice now, as we continue on in

144
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:22,700
our, in our study here, I'm just
going to read through these 

145
00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:30,400
verses He says though, though, 
its Waters Roar and be troubled.

146
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:36,400
We know how a stormy sea is, how
how thing it can cause 

147
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,900
destruction and tear ships 
apart, and things of that 

148
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:41,100
nature. 
It's as though its Waters Roar 

149
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:45,000
and be troubled, though the 
mountains shake with its 

150
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,200
swelling seal up. 
There is a river, whose streams 

151
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,100
shall make glad the city of God.
The holy place of the Tabernacle

152
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,500
of the most high God is in the 
midst of her. 

153
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:03,300
She shall not be moved. 
God shall help her just as the 

154
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:07,300
break of dawn. 
The nation's rage, the kingdoms 

155
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:10,300
were moved. 
He uttered his voice. 

156
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:15,600
And the Earth melted. 
The Lord of hosts is with us. 

157
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,900
The god of Jacob is our refuge 
see law. 

158
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,800
Excuse me. 
Forgot to do that. 

159
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,400
Come Behold, The Works of the 
Lord who has made desolations in

160
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,200
the earth. 
He makes Wars cease to the end 

161
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,100
of the Earth. 
He breaks the bow and cuts the 

162
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:37,800
spear into. 
He burns the Chariots and Fire. 

163
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,600
All This calamity. 
All these things that go on all 

164
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,100
this God is still the one that's
in control. 

165
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,600
We think things are getting out 
of control. 

166
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,900
We just have to remember that 
the things that are going on. 

167
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,800
God is controlling. 
It's God's will or he wouldn't 

168
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,000
allow it to happen. 
We think wonder what is the 

169
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,600
world coming to? 
How much longer is God? 

170
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,300
Going to put up with this earth 
and the things that are going on

171
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:12,400
in there? 
So I don't know but God is the 

172
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,400
one that's controlling it. 
Man is not in control. 

173
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600
God is hopefully maybe trying to
get our attention with the 

174
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,700
things that are going on in the 
world and help us to realize and

175
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:32,000
look to him. 
So he says, in verse 10, be 

176
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,800
still. 
And know that I am, God. 

177
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,500
I will be exalted among the 
Nations. 

178
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:47,600
I will be exalted in the Earth. 
Be still, he talks about the 

179
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,500
word used here means properly to
cast down to let fall to let 

180
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:59,500
hang down, then then to be 
relaxed slacking, especially the

181
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:02,500
hands. 
It is also employed in the sense

182
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:07,600
of not making an effort, not 
putting forth eggs or exertion, 

183
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,900
and then would express the idea 
of leaving matters with God or 

184
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:16,300
of being without anxiety. 
About the issue. 

185
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:25,200
You ever got into a situation 
before where you weren't really 

186
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,600
worried even though there is 
some just turmoil going on. 

187
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800
You weren't worried because you 
knew what the outcome was going 

188
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,300
to be other words. 
You just kind of stood back and 

189
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:36,500
let things happen. 
You knew what was going to 

190
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:41,800
happen. 
That's what he's saying here. 

191
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,400
Be still and know that I am God 
In This Place. 

192
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:49,000
The word seems to be used as a 
meaning. 

193
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:56,500
That there was to be no anxiety 
that it was to be calm trust in 

194
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:01,100
God and let him show his divine 
power. 

195
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,800
The mind was to be calm in view 
of the fact that God had shown 

196
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:13,300
that he was able to defend his 
people when surrounded by 

197
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:16,500
dangers. 
You seem a little mother, 

198
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,800
keeping her little, a mother 
bear, keeping her Cubs close by 

199
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,300
You don't mess with. 
You don't mess with the Cubs 

200
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:26,900
from Mother. 
Bear is close by. 

201
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,800
She's the one that's in going to
be in control and that's kind of

202
00:14:29,808 --> 00:14:34,200
the way that he's saying here 
about God, God is protecting the

203
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,000
church. 
God is protecting the body of 

204
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,700
Christ. 
God is protecting those things 

205
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:43,700
that are holy and he will 
protect those things. 

206
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,200
It may not be what we think it 
ought to be or what we've been 

207
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,500
used to. 
What we've been accustomed to, 

208
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:55,400
but God is the one that is in 
control of all that and he will 

209
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,900
protect his church. 
He will protect the body of 

210
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:01,600
Christ. 
Most of us at one point, or 

211
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,900
another have had our children 
come and sit on our laps, maybe 

212
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:08,300
in the doctor's office, or at a 
concert, or in someone's office,

213
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,200
a meeting or in church, you 
know, in some of the children 

214
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,500
just come up and sit and they 
just want to sit and talk. 

215
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,200
And they want to carry on a 
conversation or they've got this

216
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,500
to do or that to do in there, 
making noise and they want to 

217
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:26,200
ask questions and they're 
they're just always kind of in a

218
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,600
turmoil. 
And then you have that one 

219
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,400
child, just comes up and sit you
in your lap and just sits there 

220
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:35,000
and they're still It's not much 
better than that. 

221
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,700
Your child just to sit in your 
lap and be still. 

222
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,400
They said that the basically are
the kind of saying that I love 

223
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,100
you. 
I trust you, I feel safe with 

224
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:52,100
you. 
There's nothing that compares to

225
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:55,800
that feeling just for them to 
sit there and be still. 

226
00:15:56,700 --> 00:16:00,100
I think that's the point that 
the psalmist David here is 

227
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:09,700
saying he's stop and think about
God, and recognize his power and

228
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:13,300
his ability. 
Stop and think about it. 

229
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:21,000
Psalm 143 and verse 5, I 
remember the days of old, I 

230
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:27,100
meditate on all your works. 
I'm use on the work of your 

231
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:30,400
hands. 
Someone 45 and 5. 

232
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,700
I will meditate on the Glorious 
Splendor of your majesty and the

233
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:38,000
on your works on on your 
wondrous Works. 

234
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:43,800
Psalm 119 and verse 27. 
Make me understand the way of 

235
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000
your precepts. 
So shall I meditate on your 

236
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,700
wonderful works. 
He says stop and think about 

237
00:16:53,700 --> 00:16:58,700
God. 
How powerfully is how loving he 

238
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:01,800
is, how he has things in 
control. 

239
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:13,500
He says and know that I am God. 
See what I've done. 

240
00:17:14,300 --> 00:17:18,900
The evidence of things that you 
can see in the things that I've 

241
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:25,099
accomplished. 
You know, we all pray. 

242
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:31,200
We pray for God to do things for
us to accomplish things for 

243
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,100
stop. 
And think about those things 

244
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,400
that God has accomplished for 
us. 

245
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,500
He is powerful. 
I know he's accomplished things 

246
00:17:38,500 --> 00:17:42,400
in my life and I know he has in 
your life as well. 

247
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,400
Be still and know that I am. 
God. 

248
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,400
All the powers of this world. 
Don't stand up to God. 

249
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,000
God is the one that's in 
control. 

250
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:09,700
And he says, Goins goes on to 
say, I will be exalted among the

251
00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:13,600
heathen. 
That is among the nation's among

252
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,000
all that are troubled and in 
despair. 

253
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,200
Those that don't worship me. 
The ones that worship idols. 

254
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,800
They will see that I am God. 
This is, I will be exalted in 

255
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600
the earth and the, in the lands 
abroad. 

256
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,200
All over this world, God will be
exalted. 

257
00:18:36,500 --> 00:18:40,500
In other words, I have 
everything under control. 

258
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:47,300
God is in control of all this. 
We have sometimes problems with 

259
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:51,300
accepting that and I know we do.
We complain about this. 

260
00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:53,600
We complain about that. 
We worry about this. 

261
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,500
We were about all these other 
things that are going on around 

262
00:18:56,500 --> 00:19:03,900
us and God says Don't Fear. 
Be still. 

263
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:12,700
And know that I am, God. 
And verse, 2 verse 11, the Lord 

264
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:18,100
of hosts is with us. 
The god of Jacob is our refuge. 

265
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,400
So let's find refuge in God, in 
times of trouble. 

266
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,800
Let's not just be in turmoil. 
That's not be worrying about all

267
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,600
the things that are going on 
around us. 

268
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,600
God has it in control, there's 
nothing we can do to change it. 

269
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,300
It's his will. 
Let's just go on be still and 

270
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:40,800
look at God and what he does for
us. 

271
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,100
What he has done for us, what he
can do that, he is in control 

272
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,800
that we are not and let's just 
go on with life and accept and 

273
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:54,000
worship him and adore. 
Him, bless him, and praise him 

274
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,800
for what he is. 
That he is our God and don't 

275
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,100
worry about it. 
Let's just go on with life. 

276
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:04,600
Because we're not going to 
change things that are going on.

277
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Let's pray to God for four, 
things that that are happening 

278
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,600
in the world. 
Pray to him. 

279
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,000
For those things, that let him 
let him deal with it and not us.

280
