I love that. 00:13:04.51\00:13:07.38 Sweet. 00:13:07.42\00:13:08.75 Can't hear that song without thinking about Moses 00:13:08.78\00:13:11.49 when he asked to see God's glory. 00:13:11.52\00:13:14.39 The Lord said, "You hide in that rock 00:13:14.42\00:13:16.83 and when I pass by, just peek." 00:13:16.86\00:13:18.29 Right. 00:13:18.33\00:13:19.66 And that alone was so grand... Yeah. 00:13:19.69\00:13:22.70 That he had to have something covering his face... 00:13:22.73\00:13:26.80 When He came down from the mount. 00:13:26.84\00:13:29.50 And when we think of our lives, why are we still here? 00:13:29.54\00:13:33.07 Because He covers us with His hand. 00:13:33.11\00:13:35.04 Yeah. 00:13:35.08\00:13:36.41 I had a bird once run into a window in our home. 00:13:36.44\00:13:39.25 Little bird, and he sat on the ground. 00:13:39.28\00:13:40.92 It shocked me because I knew that it wasn't... 00:13:40.95\00:13:43.39 Some of them do it intentionally 00:13:43.42\00:13:44.75 to get your attention for the food, 00:13:44.79\00:13:46.22 but I knew that this is 00:13:46.25\00:13:47.59 the one, little sparrow had just... 00:13:47.62\00:13:49.29 The glow of the sun, 00:13:49.32\00:13:50.66 he thought he was continuing to fly outside 00:13:50.69\00:13:52.03 and he hit it with such force and I was so hurt. 00:13:52.06\00:13:56.20 I went and picked him up, 00:13:56.23\00:13:58.30 and I just closed my eyes and I prayed, 00:13:58.33\00:14:00.67 then I put a little red cloth on the outside table 00:14:00.70\00:14:04.87 and laid him on there, and then I found... 00:14:04.91\00:14:07.04 Get something, get something, I found a little dropper 00:14:07.08\00:14:09.01 and I squeezed water and just kept 00:14:09.04\00:14:11.58 putting it in his mouth, putting it in his mouth 00:14:11.61\00:14:13.21 and I closed my eyes and prayed again, 00:14:13.25\00:14:15.15 and I just covered him with my hand just to warm him up. 00:14:15.18\00:14:20.99 And I felt him twitching and I laid him down. 00:14:21.02\00:14:25.16 And in a matter of maybe 10 minutes, 00:14:25.19\00:14:27.63 he sit up, kind of... 00:14:27.66\00:14:29.66 I don't know if he gave me a glance to say thank you, 00:14:29.70\00:14:31.30 but he looked at me and then he flew away. 00:14:31.33\00:14:33.64 And I thought, wow, the Lord does that to us. 00:14:33.67\00:14:35.44 When we fall, sometimes life seems to be all ahead of us, 00:14:35.47\00:14:38.14 we run into something that just stuns us 00:14:38.17\00:14:41.04 and He hides us in His hand, He covers our soul. 00:14:41.08\00:14:45.21 Right.
