Psalm 40:8, David said, God's law was in his heart. 00:01:07.03\00:01:11.03 What do you think he meant? 00:01:11.07\00:01:12.80 The first part of the verse can help us understand, 00:01:12.83\00:01:15.34 it says, "I desire to do your will, O my God." 00:01:15.37\00:01:19.41 David didn't see God's law as a lot of rules 00:01:19.44\00:01:22.24 to make him unhappy. 00:01:22.28\00:01:23.81 He wanted to obey God's law 00:01:23.85\00:01:25.41 because he loved God and wanted to please Him. 00:01:25.45\00:01:29.05 Do you want to do God's will, tell Him so. 00:01:29.08\00:01:32.45 And He will help you live a life 00:01:32.49\00:01:34.26 that will make Him very happy. 00:01:34.29\00:01:37.49 "I desire to do Your will, O my God, 00:01:37.53\00:01:40.33 Your law is within my heart." 00:01:40.36\00:01:42.16 Psalm 40:8. 00:01:42.20\00:01:44.20 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:01:44.23\00:01:49.27 I desire to do Your will 00:01:49.30\00:01:53.91 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:01:53.94\00:01:58.75 Your law is within my heart 00:01:58.78\00:02:03.59 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:02:03.62\00:02:08.36 I desire to do Your will 00:02:08.39\00:02:13.29 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:02:13.33\00:02:18.03 Your law is within my heart 00:02:18.07\00:02:22.90 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:02:22.94\00:02:27.81 I desire to do Your will 00:02:27.84\00:02:32.48 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:02:32.51\00:02:37.52 Your law is within my heart 00:02:37.55\00:02:42.32 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:02:42.36\00:02:47.23 I desire to do Your will 00:02:47.26\00:02:51.97 I desire to do Your will O my God 00:02:52.00\00:02:56.77 Your law is within my heart 00:02:56.81\00:03:01.34 Our next verse is part of a proverb, 00:03:15.39\00:03:17.56 probably written by King Solomon. 00:03:17.59\00:03:20.00 Solomon prayed for wisdom, and God answered his prayer. 00:03:20.03\00:03:23.60 The Bible records many of Solomon's proverbs, 00:03:23.63\00:03:26.47 or wise sayings in the Book of Proverbs. 00:03:26.50\00:03:29.54 This one tells us that it is safe to trust God. 00:03:29.57\00:03:34.61 "Whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe." 00:03:34.64\00:03:39.08 Proverbs 29:25. 00:03:39.11\00:03:41.92 Whoever trusts in the Lord Whoever trusts in the Lord 00:03:41.95\00:03:49.82 Whoever trusts in the Lord 00:03:49.86\00:03:53.33 Is kept safe Kept safe 00:03:53.36\00:03:58.10 Whoever trusts in the Lord Whoever trusts in the Lord 00:03:58.13\00:04:06.11 Whoever trusts in the Lord 00:04:06.14\00:04:09.64 Is kept safe Kept safe 00:04:09.68\00:04:14.32 Whoever trusts in the Whoever trusts in the 00:04:14.35\00:04:18.55 Whoever trusts in the Lord 00:04:18.59\00:04:20.69 Whoever trusts in the Whoever trusts in the 00:04:20.72\00:04:24.39 Whoever trusts in the Lord Is kept safe 00:04:24.43\00:04:30.47 Whoever trusts in the Whoever trusts in the 00:04:30.50\00:04:34.44 Whoever trusts in the Lord Whoever trusts in the 00:04:34.47\00:04:38.64 Whoever trusts in the Whoever trusts in the Lord 00:04:38.67\00:04:43.45 Is kept safe 00:04:43.48\00:04:45.75 The Bible tells a story about an eight-year-old king, 00:04:57.19\00:05:00.30 that's right. 00:05:00.33\00:05:01.66 Josiah became a king 00:05:01.70\00:05:03.03 when he was only eight years old. 00:05:03.06\00:05:05.43 King Josiah loved God, and was faithful to Him. 00:05:05.47\00:05:08.90 God had told the Israelites 00:05:08.94\00:05:10.41 that they should not worship any other gods. 00:05:10.44\00:05:12.77 So Josiah had the temple to the true God repaired, 00:05:12.81\00:05:16.01 and destroyed the temples of idols, 00:05:16.04\00:05:17.91 where some of the Israelites were worshipping false gods. 00:05:17.95\00:05:21.28 You may never be a king or queen, 00:05:21.32\00:05:23.28 but you can show God how much you love Him 00:05:23.32\00:05:25.72 by obeying Him and doing what He has asked you to do. 00:05:25.75\00:05:29.52 "If you love Me, you will obey what I command." 00:05:31.43\00:05:34.53 John 14:15. 00:05:34.56\00:05:37.27 If you love Me you will obey 00:05:37.30\00:05:41.30 You will obey what I command 00:05:41.34\00:05:45.54 If you love Me you will obey 00:05:45.57\00:05:49.21 What I command 00:05:49.24\00:05:53.88 If you love Me you will obey 00:05:53.92\00:05:58.05 You will obey what I command 00:05:58.09\00:06:02.16 If you love Me 00:06:02.19\00:06:04.26 You will obey what I command 00:06:04.29\00:06:10.50 If you love Me you will obey 00:06:10.53\00:06:14.70 You will obey what I command 00:06:14.74\00:06:18.84 If you love Me 00:06:18.87\00:06:20.98 You will obey what I command 00:06:21.01\00:06:27.18 If you love Me you will obey 00:06:27.22\00:06:31.39 You will obey what I command 00:06:31.42\00:06:35.46 If you love Me 00:06:35.49\00:06:37.59 You will obey what I command 00:06:37.63\00:06:43.87 If you love Me You will obey 00:06:43.90\00:06:47.94 You will obey what I command 00:06:47.97\00:06:52.27 If you love Me 00:06:52.31\00:06:54.31 You will obey what I command 00:06:54.34\00:06:59.68 Do you know anyone who has a bad temper? 00:07:11.59\00:07:14.06 It's kind of uncomfortable to be around someone like that, 00:07:14.10\00:07:16.63 isn't it? 00:07:16.67\00:07:18.00 You never know what you might say or do 00:07:18.03\00:07:20.10 that will make them angry? 00:07:20.14\00:07:21.80 Aren't you glad that God isn't like that? 00:07:21.84\00:07:24.44 The Bible says that God is slow to anger and quick to forgive. 00:07:24.47\00:07:27.88 That makes me love Him more. 00:07:27.91\00:07:29.41 How about you? 00:07:29.44\00:07:31.85 "The Lord is slow to anger, 00:07:31.88\00:07:34.12 abounding in love and forgiving sin 00:07:34.15\00:07:36.08 and rebellion." 00:07:36.12\00:07:37.45 Numbers 14:18. 00:07:37.49\00:07:38.82 The Lord is slow to anger 00:07:38.85\00:07:42.72 Abounding in love Abounding in love 00:07:42.76\00:07:50.27 And forgiving sin and rebellion 00:07:50.30\00:07:54.44 The Lord is slow to anger 00:07:54.47\00:07:58.41 Abounding in love Abounding in love 00:07:58.44\00:08:05.98 And forgiving sin and rebellion 00:08:06.01\00:08:10.25 The Lord is slow to anger 00:08:10.29\00:08:14.19 Abounding in love Abounding in love 00:08:14.22\00:08:21.70 And forgiving sin and rebellion 00:08:21.73\00:08:26.00 The Lord is slow to anger 00:08:26.03\00:08:29.94 Abounding in love Abounding in love 00:08:29.97\00:08:37.45 And forgiving sin and rebellion 00:08:37.48\00:08:42.65 Does God reward those who obey Him? 00:08:55.16\00:08:57.57 He sure does. 00:08:57.60\00:08:58.93 Think about Joseph. 00:08:58.97\00:09:00.44 When his master's wife told lies about him, 00:09:00.47\00:09:02.50 he was put in prison. 00:09:02.54\00:09:04.17 But he remained true to God and when he got out of prison, 00:09:04.21\00:09:07.51 he was given a very important job. 00:09:07.54\00:09:10.08 And how about Daniel, 00:09:10.11\00:09:11.68 he obeyed God even though he knew 00:09:11.71\00:09:13.21 he would be thrown into a den of lions. 00:09:13.25\00:09:15.58 But God protected Daniel from those lions, didn't He? 00:09:15.62\00:09:18.85 Listen to this promise. 00:09:18.89\00:09:21.62 "Those who honor Me I will honor." 00:09:21.66\00:09:24.69 1 Samuel 2:30. 00:09:24.73\00:09:26.70 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:09:26.73\00:09:30.90 I will honor I will honor 00:09:30.93\00:09:34.94 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:09:34.97\00:09:39.11 I will honor I will honor 00:09:39.14\00:09:43.14 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:09:43.18\00:09:47.18 I will honor I will honor 00:09:47.22\00:09:51.32 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:09:51.35\00:09:55.62 I will honor I will honor 00:09:55.66\00:09:59.49 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:09:59.53\00:10:03.77 I will honor I will honor 00:10:03.80\00:10:07.70 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:10:07.74\00:10:11.91 I will honor I will honor 00:10:11.94\00:10:15.91 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:10:15.94\00:10:20.18 I will honor I will honor 00:10:20.22\00:10:24.12 Those who honor Me Those who honor Me 00:10:24.15\00:10:28.32 I will honor I will honor 00:10:28.36\00:10:32.43 Have your friends ever made special plans 00:10:43.64\00:10:46.24 that they wouldn't tell you about? 00:10:46.27\00:10:48.34 It doesn't feel good to be left out, does it? 00:10:48.38\00:10:51.45 Well, did you know that God has let us know 00:10:51.48\00:10:53.62 what He is planning? 00:10:53.65\00:10:55.65 God has had many prophets, 00:10:55.68\00:10:57.52 special people who He told His plans to. 00:10:57.55\00:11:00.26 Then His prophets told others. 00:11:00.29\00:11:02.52 Noah prophesied about the flood. 00:11:02.56\00:11:05.13 Isaiah prophesied about Jesus' birth. 00:11:05.16\00:11:07.56 And John prophesied about Jesus' second coming. 00:11:07.60\00:11:11.47 Isn't it nice to know 00:11:11.50\00:11:12.83 that God loves you so much 00:11:12.87\00:11:14.80 that He has let you know His plans. 00:11:14.84\00:11:18.61 "Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing 00:11:18.64\00:11:20.81 without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets." 00:11:20.84\00:11:23.71 Amos 3:7. 00:11:23.75\00:11:25.08 Surely the Sovereign Lord 00:11:25.11\00:11:27.08 Does nothing without revealing His plan 00:11:27.12\00:11:30.45 To His servants the prophets 00:11:30.49\00:11:34.96 Surely the Sovereign Lord 00:11:34.99\00:11:37.23 Does nothing without revealing 00:11:37.26\00:11:39.59 His Plan to

00:12:37.75\00:12:40.22 His plan to His servants the prophets 00:12:40.26\00:12:45.33 Has God ever held your hand? 00:12:55.20\00:12:57.51 Did you know that, He has promised, that He will. 00:12:57.54\00:13:00.14 You will probably never feel God's hand, 00:13:00.18\00:13:02.74 but whenever you're in trouble or whenever you're afraid, 00:13:02.78\00:13:05.98 remember the many promises that He has made to be with you 00:13:06.01\00:13:09.15 and help you. 00:13:09.18\00:13:10.75 Here is a special promise from the Book of Isaiah. 00:13:10.79\00:13:15.02 "I am the Lord, your God, 00:13:15.06\00:13:16.79 who takes hold of your right hand 00:13:16.83\00:13:18.46 and says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'" 00:13:18.49\00:13:21.96 Isaiah 41:13 00:13:22.00\00:13:23.73 I am the Lord your God 00:13:23.77\00:13:27.37 Who takes hold of your right hand 00:13:27.40\00:13:31.47 And says to you 00:13:31.51\00:13:34.04 Do not fear I will help you 00:13:34.08\00:13:40.32 I am the Lord your God 00:13:40.35\00:13:43.99 Who takes hold of your right hand 00:13:44.02\00:13:48.12 And says to you 00:13:48.16\00:13:50.79 Do not fear I will help you 00:13:50.83\00:13:57.00 I am the Lord your God 00:13:57.03\00:14:00.67 Who takes hold of your right hand 00:14:00.70\00:14:04.91 And says to you 00:14:04.94\00:14:07.51 Do not fear I will help you 00:14:07.54\00:14:13.65 I am the Lord your God 00:14:13.68\00:14:17.29 Who takes hold of your right hand 00:14:17.32\00:14:21.46 And says to you 00:14:21.49\00:14:24.13 Do not fear I will help you 00:14:24.16\00:14:30.23 Has anyone ever told you about the Day of Judgment? 00:14:41.98\00:14:44.98 Some day we will each stand before God, 00:14:45.01\00:14:47.68 and He will look at the record books of heaven, 00:14:47.72\00:14:49.95 and see what we have done during our lives here on earth. 00:14:49.98\00:14:53.15 Does that sound kind of scary to you? 00:14:53.19\00:14:55.92 It shouldn't scare you, if you love Jesus. 00:14:55.96\00:14:58.73 The more we get to know Jesus, the more we will be like Him. 00:14:58.76\00:15:02.46 But the best news is, 00:15:02.50\00:15:04.17 that the more we get to know Jesus, 00:15:04.20\00:15:06.20 the better we will understand that His death on the cross 00:15:06.23\00:15:08.84 has saved us from our sin. 00:15:08.87\00:15:10.71 And if our sins are washed away by His sacrifice, 00:15:10.74\00:15:13.74 then we won't have anything to fear 00:15:13.78\00:15:15.74 on the Day of Judgment. 00:15:15.78\00:15:18.35 "God is love, 00:15:18.38\00:15:19.71 we will have confidence on the Day of Judgment, 00:15:19.75\00:15:22.15 because in this world we are like Him." 00:15:22.18\00:15:24.85 1 John 4:16, 17. 00:15:24.89\00:15:27.76 God is love God is love 00:15:27.79\00:15:31.99 We will have confidence On the Day of Judgment 00:15:32.03\00:15:36.93 Because in this world we are like Him Like Him 00:15:36.97\00:15:44.87 God is love God is love 00:15:44.91\00:15:49.14 We will have confidence On the Day of Judgment 00:15:49.18\00:15:54.08 Because in this world we are like Him 00:15:54.12\00:15:58.99 Like Him 00:15:59.02\00:16:02.22 God is love God is love 00:16:02.26\00:16:06.49 We will have confidence On the Day of Judgment 00:16:06.53\00:16:11.43 Because in this world we are like Him 00:16:11.47\00:16:16.20 Like Him 00:16:16.24\00:16:19.54 God is love God is love 00:16:19.57\00:16:23.91 We will have confidence On the Day of Judgment 00:16:23.95\00:16:28.75 Because in this world we are like Him 00:16:28.78\00:16:33.42 Like Him 00:16:33.46\00:16:35.42 I have a friend who goes everywhere I go, 00:16:47.84\00:16:50.31 and sees everything I do. 00:16:50.34\00:16:52.41 But I've never seen him. 00:16:52.44\00:16:54.44 You may wonder how I know he's there. 00:16:54.48\00:16:56.78 I've never heard him speak to me, 00:16:56.81\00:16:58.51 but I've spoken to him. 00:16:58.55\00:17:00.55 That sounds like a rather strange kind of friendship, 00:17:00.58\00:17:03.39 doesn't it? 00:17:03.42\00:17:04.79 My friend is my guardian angel, and you have one too. 00:17:04.82\00:17:08.76 It's nice to know that I'm never alone, 00:17:08.79\00:17:10.99 and the Bible promises that my angel will stay with me, 00:17:11.03\00:17:14.80 and deliver me from trouble. 00:17:14.83\00:17:17.83 "The angel of the Lord 00:17:17.87\00:17:19.20 encamps around those who fear Him, 00:17:19.23\00:17:21.40 and he delivers them." 00:17:21.44\00:17:22.90 Psalm 34:7. 00:17:22.94\00:17:24.77 The angel of the Lord encamps around 00:17:24.81\00:17:29.51 Those who fear him Who fear Him 00:17:29.54\00:17:34.35 And he delivers them 00:17:34.38\00:17:39.15 Delivers them 00:17:39.19\00:17:43.96 The angel of the Lord encamps around 00:17:43.99\00:17:48.86 Those who fear him Who fear Him 00:17:48.90\00:17:53.80 And he delivers them 00:17:53.84\00:17:58.37 Delivers them 00:17:58.41\00:18:03.35 The angel of the Lord encamps around 00:18:03.38\00:18:08.18 Those who fear him Who fear Him 00:18:08.22\00:18:13.05 And he delivers them 00:18:13.09\00:18:17.76 Delivers them 00:18:17.79\00:18:22.53 There are many stories in the Bible about people 00:18:34.01\00:18:36.28 who were at the right place at the right time. 00:18:36.31\00:18:38.95 But one of my favorites is the story of Esther. 00:18:38.98\00:18:42.52 She became queen in time to save the Jews 00:18:42.55\00:18:44.89 from being killed. 00:18:44.92\00:18:46.69 A wicked man in her country was mad at one man, 00:18:46.72\00:18:49.32 who was a Jew. 00:18:49.36\00:18:50.69 And he asked the king to have all the Jews killed, 00:18:50.73\00:18:53.19 because they were troublemakers. 00:18:53.23\00:18:55.33 King Ahasuerus agreed 00:18:55.36\00:18:56.87 not knowing that Queen Esther was a Jew. 00:18:56.90\00:18:59.87 Mordecai close relative of Queen Esther 00:18:59.90\00:19:02.57 asked her to go before the king, 00:19:02.60\00:19:04.24 and plead for him to save the Jewish people. 00:19:04.27\00:19:07.38 After fasting and prayer, Esther approached the king, 00:19:07.41\00:19:10.78 and the lives of her people were saved. 00:19:10.81\00:19:13.92 You may never be able to save the lives 00:19:13.95\00:19:15.92 of a large group of people like Esther did. 00:19:15.95\00:19:18.75 But if you give your heart to Jesus, 00:19:18.79\00:19:20.66 I'm sure He'll put you in the right place, 00:19:20.69\00:19:23.22 at just the right time, to do a special job for Him. 00:19:23.26\00:19:28.70 "Who knows but that you have come to royal position 00:19:28.73\00:19:32.53 for such a time as this?" 00:19:32.57\00:19:34.50 Esther 4:14. 00:19:34.54\00:19:36.10 Who knows but that you have come 00:19:36.14\00:19:39.64 To royal position 00:19:39.67\00:19:43.41 For such a time as this 00:19:43.45\00:19:46.35 For such a time as this 00:19:46.38\00:19:50.65 Who knows but that you have come 00:19:50.69\00:19:54.22 To royal position 00:19:54.26\00:19:57.93 For such a time as this 00:19:57.96\00:20:00.83 For such a time as this 00:20:00.86\00:20:05.07 Who knows but that you have come 00:20:05.10\00:20:08.70 To royal position 00:20:08.74\00:20:12.34 For such a time as this 00:20:12.37\00:20:15.44 For such a time as this 00:20:15.48\00:20:19.58 Who knows But that you have come 00:20:19.61\00:20:23.32 To royal position 00:20:23.35\00:20:26.92 For such a time as this 00:20:26.96\00:20:29.86 For such a time as this 00:20:29.89\00:20:34.26 Who knows but that you have come 00:20:34.30\00:20:37.80 To royal position 00:20:37.83\00:20:41.40 For such a time as this 00:20:41.44\00:20:44.41 For such a time as this 00:20:44.44\00:20:48.18 If you're choosing a team to play football, 00:20:56.92\00:20:59.25 softball, or basket ball, 00:20:59.29\00:21:01.59 you probably start by choosing the fastest runners, 00:21:01.62\00:21:04.29 the best catchers, 00:21:04.33\00:21:05.83 and the highest scoring shooters. 00:21:05.86\00:21:07.63 Well, in the game of life, 00:21:07.66\00:21:09.16 it's important to choose a good team too, 00:21:09.20\00:21:11.50 if you expect to win. 00:21:11.53\00:21:13.34 If God is not on your team, there's no way you can win. 00:21:13.37\00:21:16.24 But if He is, there is no way you can lose. 00:21:16.27\00:21:19.34 Listen to this. 00:21:19.37\00:21:21.11 "If God is for us, who can be against us." 00:21:21.14\00:21:25.48 Romans 8:31. 00:21:25.51\00:21:27.92 If God is for us 00:21:27.95\00:21:30.69 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:21:30.72\00:21:36.96 If God is for us 00:21:36.99\00:21:39.69 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:21:39.73\00:21:45.93 If God is for us 00:21:45.97\00:21:48.74 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:21:48.77\00:21:54.84 If God is for us 00:21:54.88\00:21:57.65 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:21:57.68\00:22:03.89 If God is for us 00:22:03.92\00:22:06.65 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:22:06.69\00:22:12.86 If God is for us 00:22:12.89\00:22:15.46 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:22:15.50\00:22:21.80 If God is for us 00:22:21.84\00:22:24.64 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:22:24.67\00:22:30.88 If God is for us 00:22:30.91\00:22:33.58 Who can be against us Who can be against us 00:22:33.62\00:22:40.26 Who can be against us 00:22:40.29\00:22:47.80 Have you ever heard the expression, 00:22:56.74\00:22:58.31 many hands make light work? 00:22:58.34\00:23:00.61 It just means 00:23:00.64\00:23:01.98 that the more people you have working together, 00:23:02.01\00:23:03.75 the quicker you can get the job done. 00:23:03.78\00:23:06.41 God has given us a job to do, hasn't He? 00:23:06.45\00:23:09.42 He said that we are to go into all the world, 00:23:09.45\00:23:12.12 and tell people about Him. 00:23:12.15\00:23:14.06 And when the whole world knows about Jesus, 00:23:14.09\00:23:16.59 He will come and take us to heaven. 00:23:16.62\00:23:19.03 He could've given this job to the angels, 00:23:19.06\00:23:21.43 but He has chosen each of us to be workers with Him. 00:23:21.46\00:23:25.17 So let's get busy and get the job done, 00:23:25.20\00:23:27.70 so that we can go to our heavenly home. 00:23:27.74\00:23:31.81 "We are God's fellow workers." 00:23:31.84\00:23:34.88 1 Corinthians 3:9. 00:23:34.91\00:23:37.45 We are God's fellow workers Fellow workers Fellow workers 00:23:37.48\00:23:43.25 We are God's fellow workers We are God's fellow workers 00:23:43.28\00:23:48.89 We are God's fellow workers Fellow workers Fellow workers 00:23:48.92\00:23:54.66 We are God's fellow workers We are God's fellow workers 00:23:54.70\00:24:00.24 We are God's fellow workers Fellow workers Fellow workers 00:24:00.27\00:24:05.87 We are God's fellow workers We are God's fellow workers 00:24:05.91\00:24:11.68 We are God's fellow workers Fellow workers Fellow workers 00:24:11.71\00:24:17.42 We are God's fellow workers We are God's fellow workers 00:24:17.45\00:24:22.99 We are God's fellow workers 00:24:23.02\00:24:25.69 Do you remember the story of Job in the Bible? 00:24:34.70\00:24:37.54 He was a wealthy man, 00:24:37.57\00:24:39.24 but God allowed Satan to test Job 00:24:39.27\00:24:41.74 by causing all kinds of troubles to come his way. 00:24:41.78\00:24:45.38 His children and servants were all killed, 00:24:45.41\00:24:47.48 and his animals were stolen, 00:24:47.52\00:24:49.32 and Job suffered from terrible sores 00:24:49.35\00:24:51.65 all over his body. 00:24:51.69\00:24:53.82 God has not promised to keep us from suffering, 00:24:53.86\00:24:56.52 but He has promised 00:24:56.56\00:24:57.89 that He will be with us in our suffering, 00:24:57.93\00:24:59.93 and that He will bless us for being faithful to Him. 00:24:59.96\00:25:03.77 Job was faithful, and the Bible says 00:25:03.80\00:25:06.13 that the Lord blessed him 00:25:06.17\00:25:07.50 and he had twice as much as before. 00:25:07.54\00:25:10.51 Remember this promise, 00:25:10.54\00:25:11.94 no matter what bad things happen to you. 00:25:11.97\00:25:16.34 "I will be with him in trouble, 00:25:16.38\00:25:17.88 I will deliver him and honor him." 00:25:17.91\00:25:19.81 Psalm 91:15. 00:25:19.85\00:25:22.25 I will be with him in trouble 00:25:22.28\00:25:27.16 I will deliver him and honor him 00:25:27.19\00:25:31.96 I will be with him in trouble 00:25:31.99\00:25:36.00 I will deliver him and honor him 00:25:36.03\00:25:41.64 I will be with him in trouble 00:25:41.67\00:25:46.41 I will deliver him and honor him 00:25:46.44\00:25:51.31 I will be with him in trouble 00:25:51.35\00:25:55.38 I will deliver him and honor him 00:25:55.42\00:26:01.09 I will be with him in trouble 00:26:01.12\00:26:05.93 I will deliver him and honor him 00:26:05.96\00:26:10.67 I will be with him in trouble 00:26:10.70\00:26:14.77 I will deliver him and honor him 00:26:14.80\00:26:20.38
