Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving
    and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God,
    the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth,
    and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice, “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did. 10  For forty years I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’ 11  So I declared on oath in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord. Let
us shout aloud to the rock of our salvation. Let
us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with
music and song. For the Lord is the great God,

(01:02):
the King, the great King above all gods. In his
hands are the depths of the earth, and the mountains
peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he
made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come,

(01:23):
let us bow down in worship. Let us kneel before
the Lord, our maker. For he is our God, and
we are the people of his pasture, the flock under
his care. Today, if only we would hear his voice.

(01:47):
Do not harden your hearts as did at Marabah, as
you did that day at Massa, in the worldness where
your ancestors tested me. They tried me through though through through,

(02:11):
had seen what I had done for forty years. I
was angry with that generation. I said, they are the
people whose hearts have gone astray, and they have not
known my ways. So I deca claredon oath in my

(02:33):
in my anger, that they shall never enter my rest. Okay,
that was a psalm of Psalm ninety five. Again, it's

(02:57):
just reading it doesn't really do the writers of the
Psalms Justice should have been sung, music, playing that sort
of thing. It is a celebration of God. And there

(03:18):
is a saying about song and singing and dance that
if you so, if you sing, you dance and play
music and prayer, that you have prayed twice. So something
to think about when you're putting that joy in your heart,

(03:41):
because well, God is there and you're praying, you're talking
to him, and I think sometimes that we forget that
we should also celebrate with Him when things happen. We
should bring God into that whole sense of celebration and

(04:06):
joyfulness because well, without him, it wouldn't have happened. Whatever
it was that we were celebrating might not have wouldn't
have happened. No, well, I try not to make this

(04:27):
a whole political platform, but sometimes we got to address
what is actually happening in the world. And there are
brothers and sisters of ours that right now are in
grave danger, and that danger is coming because an attacker

(04:56):
and in a bully just will not relent. They want
something from the land, and they want the people who
are currently they're gone. No matter how they achieve such
a thing, either by getting them to move or by

(05:17):
getting them to move on to God through death. And
there are other parts of the Bible, of the other
teachings that tell us that we're supposed to stand for

(05:38):
those who cannot stand themselves at the moment, that we
should push back, we should protest what is happening to
those who are being oppressed at the moment. And one

(06:03):
of one of those areas, because there's two areas that
I have in mind when I'm talking about this, and
one is Haiti, the other on is Palestine. Palestine. The
famine there is completely man made. It was made by
this ongoing war. Since what are we talking twenty twenty

(06:28):
three October right that, yes, there were some wrongdoers, terrorists
that should be Yes, they should be punished or ultimately
they will receive there, they will receive whatever there do

(06:54):
when they actually go before God to talk about what
they had done with their lives. I don't want to
go too far into that because that would be doing
God's work of judging, and he alone is the only

(07:15):
one allowed to do that. He's the only one allowed
to judge those people who did the kidnapping, took the
hostages and on the other end, if we go back
to twenty twenty two, there were events that happened before

(07:36):
this kidnapping and hostage taking. Things happened that we tried
to forget about. That. There was a Palestinian journalist who
was shot by Israeli sniper. There's a lot of back

(07:59):
and forth on on that. I don't think either side
is completely blood free in that respect, but what is
happening right now needs to be stopped. And we, as
the citizens of this planet and the followers of of

(08:23):
of Jesus Christ, it is we need to speak louder
to make to make this end. We need to speak
louder about the wrong the wrongdoings of a government that
is a government operating in our world right now. We

(08:44):
need to speak louder about that. And we need to
speak louder about every government that is doing horrific things
or about to do horrific things. Let's look at at
Haiti in It's not the government, it is the gangs.

(09:08):
The gangs have to have taken over that part of
the island and people are are starving in the food
just seems to sit there on the docks and not move.
The humanitarian efforts are are blocked because of violence, and

(09:34):
again we need to speak louder, take actions to help
our brothers and sisters offer when we if we can't
be there, if we send the prayers and the energy
to them, it will help. Our being is more than

(09:58):
just physical. Our being is very energetic, and we're all
joined together by that energy, that energy that God put
in us. And we need to speak louder in order
to help our brothers and sisters around the world, to

(10:21):
speak louder for equality and to push harder against those
corporate controls or those tyrant controls. It was placed deep
inside of us, each and every one of us. To

(10:46):
be able to do that, we just have to look
inside and do it. That we can stand for those
who will deliver the aid. We can stand for those
who are in need of that aid. We're standing for

(11:08):
both sides, and we can stand with a message of
love that will hopefully eventually get through the tyrant's hearts
and get them to stop what they're doing. We can
do that, that is what we can do. We need

(11:39):
to change our priorities so that we can do that,
and that's part of what is in this psalm that
our ancestors test it. Yes, our ancestors are are talked

(12:02):
about because they were the followers of God, and it's
talked about in this sum the anger that was caused. Well,
we may not be facing an anger like that, but
what we are facing is the fact that we have
that we have turned our backs on God. And in

(12:29):
order to start to fix what is going on, to
bring us back to prosperity and to bring us back
to all the goodness that God has for us, to
bring us back to his pastor and be the flock
under his care, we need to turn back towards him.

(12:54):
And by turning back towards him, it means that we
stand together as equal people, as equal beings, and we
stopped the terrorism, we stopped the tyranny, we stopped the violence,
and we deliver the humanitarian efforts and we get those

(13:20):
ef We deliver the energy, the prayer, the love to
those people who are desperate in need, that we feed
and clothe each and every person. It is it isn't
just the lowest that we've removed the privilege and we

(13:49):
deliver the equality. That's what all this means. So why
don't we pray on that for a second, Lord, help
us to turn back towards you. We need to open

(14:11):
our hearts to you and turn towards your goodness, Turn
towards the things that you want us to have, the prosperity,
the pastors, and open our hearts so that we can

(14:33):
find your love deep inside of us that we don't
have to have with the tyrants and the controllers want
that we can have which you want, because it is
your voice that we should be listening to. Amen, grown
