00:01 Wow! Isn't it amazing?
00:02 Yes, amazing survival, wasn't it? 00:05 That's right. How the Lord kept them. 00:07 And so I wanna give, Pastor Watts, 00:09 an opportunity to kind of bring us to a closure. 00:12 And there's a thought you wanna share with us 00:14 from a Bible text actually. 00:16 Okay, happy to share this text. 00:17 It was one that my wife read to me 00:20 when we met up again, a day or two later. 00:23 And I asked her just open the Bible 00:24 and read me something 00:26 and it happened to be Psalm 139 it says, 00:31 "Where can I go from Your Spirit? 00:33 Or where can I flee from Your presence? 00:35 If I ascend into heaven, You are there. 00:37 I make my bed in hell, You are there. 00:41 I take the wings of the morning, 00:42 and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 00:45 even there Your hand shall lead me, 00:47 and Your right hand shall hold me fast. 00:50 If I say, 'Surely the darkness shall fall on me,' 00:53 even the night shall be turned into light about me." 00:57 So that was a wonderful encouragement 01:01 that summarize how I felt that God was with me. 01:03 He could see me there. 01:04 And I felt that God was really there. 01:08 I could feel His presence and I praise Him for that. 01:11 Amen. 01:12 I think that, 01:14 as we face problems in our life, as Pastor, 01:16 as already mentioned, 01:17 we can be sure that God is with us. 01:19 We do not have to fear the future. 01:21 And in the meantime, 01:23 we can look forward to that wonderful day 01:24 when He's going to come back and save us 01:27 if we trust in Him. 01:29 I also believe that we should encourage one another more. 01:31 I remember in the water, saying to each other, 01:33 "Keep going. 01:35 Don't give up. We're going to make it." 01:37 And as church members 01:38 rather than being critical of each other or whatever, 01:40 we want to say that to each other. 01:42 Encourages, you know, keep praying for people, 01:45 tell them that you love them, that you're praying for them. 01:48 And that we'll be united family when Jesus does come. 01:51 So I thank God for His promises. 01:53 And thank God that I'm alive today. 01:55 Well, friends, on that note, 01:56 we're gonna say until the Lord brings us back together again, 01:59 may the blessings of God be with you. 02:01 Have a blessed day. |
