00:01 So if you have made a commitment
00:02 to make a change in your life 00:04 and to follow hard after Christ, 00:06 I encourage you to tell somebody about it 00:08 but that kind of solidifies that choice. 00:12 So find somebody to tell 00:15 that you're going to try to serve Christ 00:17 with all your gusto. 00:20 It's important to know that the closer... 00:23 When the Bible says, in fact, when we draw close to Him, 00:27 He will draw close to us. 00:30 I love how science talks about when we are... 00:34 When we get close to people 00:37 with a hug or touching people, 00:40 it releases oxytocin and dopamine in our systems. 00:46 That is a healthy drug, a healthy chemical in us, 00:50 it's a feel good thing. 00:51 So I encourage you to... 00:53 This is kind of a random thought 00:54 as you may think I'm thinking. 00:58 But I wanted to just read 01:02 a section out of Kings, 01:04 1 Kings, in fact the first four verses. 01:07 It says, "And King David was old, 01:11 advanced in years, 01:12 they covered him with bed clothes 01:14 but he could not get warm. 01:15 So his servant said to him, 01:16 'Let there be sought for my lord, 01:18 the young king a young virgin 01:19 and let her wait on and be useful to the king. 01:22 Let her lie in your bosom 01:24 that my lord the king may get warm.' 01:26 So they sought a fair maiden 01:27 through all the territory of Israel 01:29 and found Abishag the Shunammite, 01:31 and brought her to the king. 01:33 The maiden was beautiful 01:34 and she waited on and nursed him." 01:36 And that kept him warm, 01:38 the nearness of Abishag to David was, 01:43 it was invigorating to him. 01:47 And I'm reminded of how the nearness of God 01:51 is invigorating to us. 01:54 So I just want to play a little medley of songs 01:57 that mean a lot to me 01:59 that speak about the nearness of God. 07:37 And since I met this blessed Savior 07:44 And since He cleansed and made me whole 07:51 I will never cease to praise Him 07:57 I'll shout it while eternity rolls 08:04 He touched me 08:07 Oh, He touched me 08:12 And oh, the joy 08:15 That floods my soul 08:20 Something happened 08:24 And now I know 08:29 He touched me 08:32 And made me whole |
