05:04 No matter, what time it is
05:06 when you're watching this program,
05:09 this is the day that the Lord has made.
05:12 We will rejoice and be glad in it,
05:15 whether the morning was a few hours ago,
05:17 you just finished lunch or it's time for bed,
05:21 we can always rejoice in every moment of the day

07:13 Today is the day
07:21 So let's rejoice and be glad
07:22 that it's going to be a good day,
07:24 whether you look back and see
07:26 that it may not have been such a great day.
07:28 In the Lord, it can always be a great day.
07:31 I love what Deuteronomy 33:26, 27 says, it says,
07:37 "There is none like God, O Israel,
07:39 Who rides through the heavens
07:41 to your help and in His majestic glory
07:44 through the skies.
07:45 The eternal God is your refuge and dwelling place,
07:49 and underneath are the everlasting arms."
07:52 What a great and mighty God we serve.
07:56 Then sings my soul
08:01 My Savior God
08:05 To Thee
08:09 How great Thou art
08:19 Then sings my soul
08:24 My Savior God
08:27 To Thee
08:30 How great Thou art
08:47 How can I keep from singing Your praise
08:53 How can I ever say enough
08:57 How amazing is Your love
09:01 How can I keep from shouting Your name
09:07 I know I am loved by the King
09:11 And it makes my heart want to sing
09:21 There is an endless song
09:25 Echoes in my soul
09:28 I hear the music ring
09:35 And though the storms may come
09:38 I am holding on
09:42 To the rock I cling
09:49 How can I keep from singing Your praise
09:55 How can I ever say enough
09:59 How amazing is Your love
10:03 How can I keep from shouting Your name
10:08 I know I am loved by the King
10:12 And it makes my heart want to sing
10:19 I sing because I'm happy
10:25 I sing because I'm free
10:32 For His eye is on the sparrow
10:39 And I know
10:41 He watches me
10:47 How can I keep from singing Your praise
10:53 How can I ever say enough
10:57 How amazing is Your love
11:00 How can I keep from shouting Your name
11:06 I know I am loved by the King
11:10 And it makes my heart
11:13 I am loved by the King
11:17 And it makes my heart want to sing
11:26 And I sing how marvelous!
11:31 How wonderful!
11:34 And my song shall ever be
11:40 How marvelous!
11:43 How wonderful!
11:46 Is my Savior's love for me
11:53 I know I am loved by the King
11:57 And it makes my heart want to sing
12:04 Yes, it makes my heart want to sing
12:22 Amen.
12:24 He puts that song in our heart
12:25 so that we can sing a song of praise.
12:28 Hallelujah.
12:30 Psalm 113:2 says,
12:33 "Blessed be the name of the Lord
12:35 from this time forth and evermore."
12:56 We are a moment
12:59 You are forever
13:02 Lord of the ages
13:05 God before time
13:09 We are a vapor
13:12 But You are eternal
13:15 Love everlasting
13:19 Reigning on high
13:24 Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty
13:31 Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
13:37 Highest praises Honor and Glory
13:44 Be unto Your name
14:06 We are the broken
14:08 You are the healer
14:11 Jesus Redeemer
14:14 Mighty to save
14:18 You are the love song
14:20 We'll sing forever
14:24 Bowing before You
14:27 blessing Your name
14:55 We sing holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
15:02 Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
15:07 Highest praises Honor and glory
15:13 Be unto Your name
15:42 Oh, we sing holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
15:49 Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
15:55 Highest praises Honor and Glory
16:02 Be unto Your name
16:15 Be unto the Lamb
16:21 We sing holy is the Lord
16:31 Be unto Your name
16:43 You know, it's a wonderful privilege
16:45 that we have to come before the Lord
16:49 and recognize that everything we have
16:52 is from Him.
16:54 And the day that we're living,
16:56 this breath that we're breathing,
16:57 it's all from Him.
17:00 In Psalm 73:25, 26,
17:05 I want to read...
17:06 That's a great, great psalm, the whole psalm itself.
17:10 It starts out, it says, "Truly God is good to Israel,
17:15 even to those who are upright and pure in heart."
17:19 So we think this is going to be an adoration of scripture
17:24 but then in verse 2, the Psalmist says,
17:28 "But as for me, my feet were almost gone,
17:32 my steps had well-nigh slipped.
17:34 For I was envious of the foolish and arrogant,
17:37 when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."
17:40 We begin to see that the Psalmist's heart
17:42 changing already and just in two verses,
17:45 he starts out in verse 1,
17:47 I'm going to worship the Lord,
17:48 He is God, will always be God.
17:50 But let me say where my heart was in
17:52 by verse 2, he' saying,
17:54 I became envious of the wicked.
17:57 And that's easy to do, right?
17:58 I mean, just look around you,
18:00 you see people that are better off
18:02 than you are or who have things
18:03 that you have that you may want
18:05 or their talents or their situations, their,
18:09 even their physical condition,
18:11 their health may be better than what yours is,
18:14 but he continues to read
18:17 how it just really ate at him the Psalmist
18:21 that he was so tore up,
18:25 it with envy and envy.
18:29 Yeah, I guess it's overall envy.
18:32 But then in verse 17,
18:34 he finally comes to his senses so to speak.
18:37 And it says, "Until I went into the sanctuary of God,
18:42 then I understood their end."
18:46 And then in verse 23, it says,
18:48 "I am continually with You, God,
18:51 You do hold my right hand.
18:53 You will guide me with Your counsel
18:54 and afterward receive me to honor and glory."
18:58 And verse 25 is where this song starts,
19:01 where we talk about "Whom have I in heaven but You?
19:05 And besides You I have no desire on earth."
19:24 Whom have I in heaven
19:28 But Thee
19:30 And beside thee I desire nothing on earth
19:37 My flesh and my heart are weak and they fail
19:43 But God is the strength of my heart
19:51 God, the Lord is the strength of my heart
19:57 He's my portion forever
20:03 Yes, the Lord my God is the strength of my heart
20:10 Your nearness
20:12 Oh, God is my good
20:27 When my heart was bitter within
20:32 All my senses had gone
20:35 And I was blind before Thee
20:40 That's when the Lord
20:42 Took hold of my hand
20:46 And He was the strength of my heart
20:53 God, the Lord is the strength of my heart
20:59 He's my portion forever
21:05 Yes, the Lord my God is the strength of my heart
21:12 Your nearness
21:14 Oh, God is my good
21:19 Your nearness
21:21 Oh, God is my good
21:30 Lord, just to be near You,
21:32 that's what I want.
21:35 I want to be where You are
21:37 dwelling daily in Your presence.
21:39 Feasting at your table,
21:40 surrounded by Your goodness, Lord.
21:44 For Your nearness
21:46 Oh, God
21:48 For Your nearness
21:50 Oh, God is my good
22:02 Your only Son no sin to hide
22:08 But You have sent me from Your side
22:14 To walk upon this guilty sod
22:20 And to become the Lamb of God
22:27 Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
22:34 I love the holy Lamb of God
22:40 Oh, wash me in His precious blood
22:46 My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
22:58 Your gift of love, they crucified
23:04 They laughed and scorned Him as He died
23:10 The humble King they named a fraud
23:16 And sacrificed the Lamb of God
23:23 Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
23:30 I love the holy Lamb of God
23:35 Oh, wash me in His precious blood
23:42 My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
23:57 I was so lost, I should have died
24:03 But You have brought me to Your side
24:09 To be led by Your staff and rod
24:15 And to be called a Lamb of God
24:22 Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
24:28 I love the holy Lamb of God
24:35 Oh, wash me in His precious blood
24:41 My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
25:01 Oh, wash me in His precious blood
25:23 You know, no matter how positive
25:27 that you try to look at each day,
25:30 there are some times
25:31 when we go along in life's journey
25:34 and we get busy with life.
25:42 And things just,
25:44 they're not what they used to be, right?
25:48 We get older and we get maybe lackadaisical
25:51 in our walk with the Lord.
25:53 We stop reading His Word.
25:56 You know, it's just like when we make,
25:58 if you're inclined to make resolutions
26:01 at the beginning of the year that you say,
26:02 I'm going to start working out
26:04 and I'm going to start eating better,
26:06 or I'm going to start visiting people
26:09 in the nursing home,
26:11 I'm going to make a change this year.
26:14 And then about February, we begin finding excuses.
26:20 You know how it is.
26:22 When we're recording this program,
26:25 it's almost halfway through the year.
26:28 And I look back and I see things
26:29 that I thought, "Wait a minute,
26:32 I'm not doing so well on what I said
26:34 I was going to do."
26:38 I'm so grateful that we serve a Heavenly Father
26:43 that time is nothing to Him,
26:46 but commitment is everything to Him.
26:49 And person, our relationship,
26:51 personal relationship is everything to Him.
26:54 And He doesn't care what time of year it is
26:57 or where you are,
27:01 He wants you just to come back.
27:04 He wants you to renew your commitment to Him
27:09 and to fall in love all over again with Him.
27:12 That's His way, that's how much He loves us
27:16 to give us time after time, a chance after chance
27:21 to come back to Him.
27:24 You see...
27:26 I can still remember
27:29 The wonderful feeling
27:33 Back when I first got to know You
27:40 It seemed the world was mine
27:43 I had joy, I had springtime
27:48 But that's all just a memory anymore
27:58 I guess I just took my eyes off You, Lord
28:05 But I don't want this callous feeling anymore
28:12 Lord, please bring back the way it was before
28:24 Bring back the new again
28:32 I want to see You again
28:39 Bring back the way it was
28:46 When we began
28:52 How did I miss the road?
28:59 When did I lose the glow?
29:05 Where did the wonder go?
29:12 Bring back the new again
29:28 It wasn't long ago
29:31 When my heart was glowing
29:35 And every new day was a challenge
29:41 But indifference turned me cold
29:44 Made things stale, made them old
29:48 Now I've lost that happy song I used to sing
29:56 It seems that I forgot the most important thing
30:01 But I don't want this callous feeling anymore
30:07 Lord, please bring back
30:11 The way it was
30:13 Before
30:20 Bring back the new again
30:27 I want to see You again
30:34 Bring back the way it was
30:41 When we began
30:47 How did I miss the road?
30:54 When did I lose the glow?
31:00 Where did the wonder go?
31:07 Bring back the new again
31:14 How did I miss the road?
31:21 When did I lose the glow?
31:28 Where did the wonder
31:32 Go?
31:37 Lord, bring back
31:39 The new again
31:46 Bring back the new again
31:54 Bring back the new again
32:07 Remember in the Psalms when David thought
32:11 That he had really messed it up.
32:17 This was his prayer.
32:21 Create in me a clean heart, O God
32:29 And renew a right spirit within me
32:36 Create in me a clean heart
32:40 O God
32:44 And renew a right spirit within me
32:51 Cast me not away
32:55 From Thy presence, O Lord
32:59 And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me
33:07 Restore unto me
33:10 The joy of Thy salvation
33:15 And renew a right spirit within me
34:17 Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord
34:24 Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me
34:31 Restore unto me
34:34 The joy of Thy salvation
34:39 And renew a right spirit
34:42 Within me
34:47 Yes, renew a right spirit
34:50 Within me
37:05 If you find yourself at that place
37:09 where you were,
37:10 where you've been closer to God than you are right now
37:14 and if you want to make that recommitment to Him
37:19 to bring back the new again.
37:24 Or per chance, you're watching today
37:27 and this is all new to you,
37:31 you haven't made that commitment,
37:32 maybe you've heard about it and you've thought about it,
37:35 but life was just going fine
37:38 and you really didn't feel like you really needed a Savior
37:42 because you had it under control.
37:46 No matter where you are,
37:50 today is the day the Lord has made,
37:53 He has given you an opportunity, another day,
37:55 another chance to serve Him, to live for Him.
38:01 So I encourage you
38:04 lifelong believer,
38:08 turn back to Him
38:10 and start those things that you did
38:15 whenever you first became a Christian.
38:17 Reading the Bible and praying
38:19 and staying in fellowship with Him,
38:21 fellowship with other Christians,
38:23 other like-minded people.
38:27 Go back to those ways,
38:28 it's not too late, nothing you...
38:31 Nothing you have done
38:34 will obliterate your relationship with Christ.
38:37 As long as you're willing to go back and say, "Okay.
38:42 I flubbed up. I've messed up."
38:45 I mean, some of us have to do this
38:47 on a daily basis.
38:49 I'll be honest, that's where I am.
38:51 And that may be a little too transparent
38:54 and definitely a little pathetic.
38:59 But we have a loving Father
39:00 who wants us to come back to Him
39:03 and get it right.
39:07 He is what's right and He's what makes us right.
39:09 Those of you again
39:10 who haven't made the commitment,
39:12 today is the day to make the commitment.
39:14 Ask Christ to be ruler of your heart,
39:18 begin to make those decisions that are godly decisions.
39:23 And you want to know how to do that.
39:25 Well, I'll tell you, Ephesians 4:21-32
39:29 give a real practical method on living for Christ.
39:34 I love the fact
39:36 that this is just peanut butter and jelly,
39:39 it's just plain and simple.
39:41 And I do love peanut butter and jelly.
39:43 But that's, that aside.
39:46 It says, since you have heard about Jesus,
39:50 this is again after you have given your life to Christ,
39:53 you've accepted Him, you've told Him,
39:54 "Forgive me of my sin.
39:57 Be ruler of my heart."
40:00 And then Ephesians says,
40:02 "Since you have heard about Jesus
40:03 and have learned the truth that comes from Him,
40:06 throw off your old sinful nature,
40:09 get rid of it and your former way of life
40:13 which is corrupted by lust and deception."
40:17 Instead let the spirit renew your thoughts
40:20 and your attitude,
40:22 that's the Holy Spirit.
40:23 Let the Holy Spirit that's the mind of Christ
40:25 renew your thoughts and your attitudes.
40:28 Put on your new nature created to be like God.
40:33 Truly righteous and holy, stop telling lies.
40:38 Let us tell our neighbors the truth for we,
40:40 we are all parts of the same body.
40:44 And don't sin by letting anger control you.
40:47 Don't let the sun go down while you're still angry,
40:50 for angry only gives a foothold to the devil.
40:54 And if you're a thief, quit stealing.
40:58 Instead use your hands for good work,
41:01 good hard work,
41:02 and then give generously to others in need.
41:06 Now don't use foul language or abusive language.
41:10 Let everything you say be good and helpful
41:13 so that your words will be an encouragement
41:16 to those who hear them.
41:18 And don't bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit
41:20 by the way you live.
41:22 Remember, He has identified you as His very own,
41:26 guaranteeing you
41:29 that you'll be saved on the day of redemption.
41:32 So get rid of all bitterness, get rid of all rage,
41:37 all anger, all harsh words and slander,
41:42 as well as all types of evil behavior,
41:44 just get rid of it.
41:46 Instead be kind to each other,
41:49 tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
41:51 just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
41:56 Those are wonderful,
41:59 just bare roots,
42:04 instructions on how to live for Christ.
42:09 Now you may sound, well, that sounds just like
42:12 being just a good person.
42:14 Well, it's more than being a good person
42:16 because the Holy Spirit,
42:18 when you give your life to Christ,
42:19 the Holy Spirit will give you the power
42:24 to be a good person
42:25 because honestly I'm not a good person,
42:28 if it's on my own, if I'm on my own,
42:30 if I'm left to my own devices, I'm not a nice person.
42:36 I can smile
42:38 but I can't always be nice.
42:42 So I encourage you,
42:43 let the Holy Spirit have control of you.
42:48 And He will make a wonderful change in you
42:52 that you can't find anywhere else.
42:57 And I can speak from experience.
43:03 For once I was lost, I was living in sin
43:09 My life seemed hopeless
43:12 No peace within
43:15 I was alone
43:17 Down hearted and sad
43:21 Needed a change in my heart
43:27 I bowed my knees, shed a tear and a sigh
43:32 Lifted my eyes to the Lord in the sky
43:38 Now I will sing it
43:40 And I'm going to shout the good news
43:44 There's been a wonderful change
43:50 There's been a wonderful change in my soul
43:54 Since Jesus made all my burdens roll
43:58 Now I'm glad to say
44:02 I am on my way
44:06 O, He changed my heart
44:08 Change my soul and my life
44:11 Saved me from trouble, from sin and from strive
44:15 Now I will sing it, shout the good news
44:19 There's been a wonderful change
44:22 For I have ceased from my wandering
44:25 And going astray
44:27 Since Jesus came into my heart
44:31 And my sins which were many
44:33 They're all washed away
44:36 Since Jesus came into my heart
44:50 Floods of joy or my soul like the sea billows roll
44:58 Since Jesus came into my heart
45:02 There's been a wonderful change in my soul
45:07 Since Jesus made all my burdens roll
45:11 Now I'm glad to say
45:15 I am on my way
45:18 O, He changed my heart
45:21 Change my soul and my life
45:23 Saved me from trouble, from sin and from strive
45:27 Now I will sing it, I'll shout the good news
45:32 There's been a wonderful change in my life
45:36 There's been a wonderful change
45:38 And there can be one in you too.
45:41 There'll be a wonderful change
45:50 And I'll be back after this.
