Speaker 2: Then again, we're all like King David, all right. Talk
Speaker 2: about a man that has fallen short of the glory
Speaker 2: of God, but God loves him so much and did
Speaker 2: great things through him. Was King David, and he wants
Speaker 2: to do the same thing for you. David was a
Speaker 2: man of music. He really was. When he started out
Speaker 2: as a teen, he was a man of music. He
Speaker 2: played music for Solomon, King Solomon when he was depressed
Speaker 2: and down and changed the mood and music can change
Speaker 2: moods right our whole life. You could be either someone
Speaker 2: that listens to Christian music, rock music, rap music. It
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. And by the way, I grew up listening
Speaker 2: to NWA and Two Life Crew Okay, shows you how
Speaker 2: much the grace of God has fallen upon No, I'm
Speaker 2: just kidding, don't get me wrong. From time to time,
Speaker 2: I'll listen to it from here and there, But it's
Speaker 2: all about proper balances in life as well. And today
Speaker 2: I want to share music with you and what it
Speaker 2: can do for you. But we're also gonna lay scripture
Speaker 2: around it as well, and we're gonna talk about what
Speaker 2: the song means. We're gonna talk about what it means
Speaker 2: for you and I. We're gonna go ahead and put
Speaker 2: our noses in the Bible as well as we dig
Speaker 2: up a few verses on the song. There is a
Speaker 2: gentleman out in the world of music right now. His
Speaker 2: name is Brandon Lake. Brandon Lake has started to cross
Speaker 2: over into that pop genre with his Christian flow. He's
Speaker 2: done songs with Jelly Roll, who's one of the top
Speaker 2: musicians in the world right now. And Brandon Lake really
Speaker 2: started out with elevation Warship, and he really changed the
Speaker 2: game for their music as well. And then he went
Speaker 2: off on his own and today I want to play
Speaker 2: a song that every christ Follower knows and it's it's
Speaker 2: called gratitude. Now that's what we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: today in our music breakdown. Can I get a little
Speaker 2: drop there?
Speaker 1: Music breakdown?
Speaker 2: I like that, say, can you do Bible breakdown? Bible breakdown?
Speaker 2: Which one do? Y'all like music breakdown? Mister movie Felt
Speaker 2: likes music breakdown, So we'll stay with what music breakdown
Speaker 2: here today on the show and over the next couple
Speaker 2: of weeks and when he's sharing some of my favorite
Speaker 2: songs with you and also some songs that have touched
Speaker 2: my life at a certain time. One of my favorite
Speaker 2: songs out there right now is by Zach Williams called Hated,
Speaker 2: and it fits with my testimony as a former stand
Speaker 2: up comedian and it hits me every single time. So
Speaker 2: hopefully music today will hit you in this music breakdown.
Speaker 2: But we're going to talk about gratitude. It's hard to
Speaker 2: be thankful or have gratitude in a life that may
Speaker 2: be in a rut right Sometimes we don't have the money.
Speaker 2: We don't have the finances, we don't have the medical
Speaker 2: we're sick down, we don't have a relationship. We're leaning
Speaker 2: on we can't make relationships with people, but we're trying
Speaker 2: to make a relationship with God. And it's tough, right,
Speaker 2: it's tough. But we have a gratitude. We have to
Speaker 2: be thankful for things in our life. So what is
Speaker 2: gratitude exactly? Well, gratitude is the conscious recognition and appreciation
Speaker 2: of the good in one's life, often acknowledging that this
Speaker 2: goodness comes from the source outside oneself. And that source
Speaker 2: outside oneself, ladies and gentlemen, is the man above, the
Speaker 2: good old Jesus. That is, here's a guy that shows
Speaker 2: us gratitude daily. We just don't always show gratitude to ourselves.
Speaker 2: So as you listen to Brandon Lake, let the words
Speaker 2: hit you. And when we come back, we're going to
Speaker 2: tie it into the good old bibl.
Speaker 4: Oh my words, for sure. I've got nothing.
Speaker 5: Now how could I express on my gradite? I could
Speaker 5: sing these songs.
Speaker 4: As I often to, but every song must stand and
Speaker 4: you never hear. So I throw up my hands and
Speaker 4: praise you again and again, because all I have is
Speaker 4: a heart love.
Speaker 5: Hard.
Speaker 4: I don't know it's not much, but I've nothing else
Speaker 4: fit for a king except for a heart scene and
Speaker 4: holy loose.
Speaker 5: Hardly I've got long respine.
Speaker 4: I've got one with my anstress wi are will s
Speaker 4: sore for my hands praise you again and again so
Speaker 4: did I hardly is.
Speaker 2: A hoard.
Speaker 4: Hard and none bids my mud have nothing mounts feet
Speaker 4: forward gay except for a hearting hard.
Speaker 6: Hard.
Speaker 5: Let's come on, mirscle, Oh, don't you get child lift
Speaker 5: of yourself because you've.
Speaker 6: Got a line and shut those lines get a bad
Speaker 6: phrase the lord. Oh, come on, mirscle, Oh, don't she

Speaker 4: You've got a line.

Speaker 7: threw up.

Speaker 2: Saw that is a hot.
Speaker 4: Loo hot lou, And I know it's not much, but
Speaker 4: I have nothing else it forking except for a heart
Speaker 4: singing and hall Lou, holy Lou.
Speaker 2: Music of Brandon Lake. I get a tear in my
Speaker 2: eye when I sing that song because of everything that
Speaker 2: he does for me. Our human form always wants to
Speaker 2: just think of the greatness. Right, Oh, I haven't gotten this.
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten that. What can I be grateful for?
Speaker 2: I look back on my past and when I was
Speaker 2: a stand up comedian and I went through a major divorce.
Speaker 2: I could have easily killed myself due to drunk driving.
Speaker 2: I could have injured somebody else. I could have been
Speaker 2: sitting in a jail. Cell I look back and watch
Speaker 2: it the many times that he showed me grace. As
Speaker 2: we talked about last week and our Bible breakdown, he
Speaker 2: showed me so much grace and continues to do that.
Speaker 2: How can I not be grateful? Gratitude doesn't come in
Speaker 2: the form of gifts and physical tangible things money. It
Speaker 2: doesn't come in clothes in cars. I'm grateful for my wife.
Speaker 2: I'm grateful for my kids. I spoke of it last
Speaker 2: week in prayer at the table with my family and
Speaker 2: one of my friends, one of my son's friends, and said,
Speaker 2: you know, my two boys right here may never have
Speaker 2: been on this earth because my wife was unable to
Speaker 2: conceive with her first husband before she went through a divorce,
Speaker 2: and we met and we focused on God in our
Speaker 2: life so much to the point that we were living
Speaker 2: together out of wedlock and we were just learning about
Speaker 2: the Lord and we wanted to give our gratitude back
Speaker 2: to him. So my wife and I decided not to
Speaker 2: have sexual relations until we were married. Now that was
Speaker 2: hard for us, Okay, all right, we just we're new
Speaker 2: in this faith, if you know what I mean. We
Speaker 2: were that Marvin Gaye sexual healing. All right, we're new
Speaker 2: in the relationship.
Speaker 1: And you know how that is.
Speaker 2: If you're not under the umbrella of Christ, you want
Speaker 2: to do that those things of the flesh. But when
Speaker 2: we were under the umbrella of Christ and still are,
Speaker 2: we want to do things to show him gratitude. So
Speaker 2: we were like, let's not do that for forty Let's
Speaker 2: not do that until we're married. Come to find out,
Speaker 2: the length was forty days and forty nights. We didn't
Speaker 2: know that until our wedding night and we looked back
Speaker 2: and go, man, that was a long time. That wow,
Speaker 2: that was forty days and forty nights. Kind of remind
Speaker 2: you of what Jesus went through, you know, on the
Speaker 2: mount what he went through in the wilderness, when we
Speaker 2: went through that and showed our gratitude, and we continue
Speaker 2: to follow Christ. We look at the gracious little things
Speaker 2: in our life. In that song, you may not know
Speaker 2: what the word Hallelujah means. Hallelujah is a Hebrew expression,
Speaker 2: and it means praise Lord. And I love that all
Speaker 2: I have is a Hallelujah. I can't. I can't give
Speaker 2: a king something. He's already got everything. I can't. I can't,
Speaker 2: but he just wants our praise, our love back to
Speaker 2: him and saying Hallelujah and singing it. I get tearful
Speaker 2: because that's all we can give him sometimes is a
Speaker 2: thank you, Hallelujah, thank you Lord for what's going on
Speaker 2: in my life. And you may be one of those
Speaker 2: ones right now, in a rut, in a dark place.
Speaker 2: You're breathing. He may have a crappy job that's barely
Speaker 2: making the bills. You're making the bills, you have a job.
Speaker 2: When we're grateful for the things that are given in
Speaker 2: front of us, he will give more unto us. It
Speaker 2: starts with gratitude, and what a perfect time. I hope
Speaker 2: you guys can go back and put that maybe in
Speaker 2: your musical repertoire Brandon like with gratitude And what does
Speaker 2: it say about being thankful in the Bible. There is
Speaker 2: tons of verses in the Bible that talk about being thankful. First,
Speaker 2: Thessalonians five eighteen give thanks in all circumstances. Psalms one
Speaker 2: O seven one says, gives thanks to the Lord, for
Speaker 2: he is good. His love endures forever. Philippians four to six,
Speaker 2: probably the one that people know the most. Do not
Speaker 2: be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer
Speaker 2: and petition and with thanksgiving, turn your requests to God
Speaker 2: in gratitude. Be thankful what you have right now. But
Speaker 2: one of my favorites is Colossians chapter three, verse seventeen.
Speaker 2: Colossians three Sevensteen states, and whatever you do, whether in
Speaker 2: word or deed, things that you do, whether what you
Speaker 2: speak or what you do, it in the name of
Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Speaker 2: It took me a while to understand this in the
Speaker 2: real world, when I was working a regular job as
Speaker 2: a tour guide. You know how hard that is to
Speaker 2: do good things in the world itself. I had to
Speaker 2: find ways to really lean on the Lord in the
Speaker 2: world out there. And I wasn't doing good deeds to
Speaker 2: make more money. I wasn't doing good deeds to you know,
Speaker 2: impress people. I did good deeds because I just have
Speaker 2: this feeling that the Lord is smiling down upon us
Speaker 2: when we're showing that light that he gives to us
Speaker 2: each and every day because we're grateful. So it starts
Speaker 2: with gratitude, it really does. It starts with being grateful
Speaker 2: and thankful every morning when you wake up, So tomorrow,
Speaker 2: when you wake up, whenever you wake up, I want
Speaker 2: you to show gratitude again, even for the littlest thing
Speaker 2: you don't realize that's in your life, like the breath
Speaker 2: and your lungs. Be grateful for that. I hope that
Speaker 2: you guys enjoyed this episode of our music breakdown. Music
Speaker 2: is something beautiful that the Lord in the Book of Psalms,
Speaker 2: David just music is an amazing way to touch our hearts,
Speaker 2: and what an amazing way to use music to get
Speaker 2: to him. By the way, the opposition uses that same
Speaker 2: music in our world. There beats, rhythmic chants and more,
Speaker 2: but it's about proper balances coming to the Lord and
Speaker 2: being grateful for the wonderful love that He gives us
Speaker 2: through the Bible, the basic constructions before leaving earth. Guys,
Speaker 2: thank you for listening to another episode of Let's Get Biblical.
Speaker 2: We'll see you on the flip side. Continue to pray,
Speaker 2: continue to get in your Bible, and if you don't
Speaker 2: know Jesus, find him today. I dare you to go
Speaker 2: look up the Book of Romans and pray the prayer
Speaker 2: of Salvation out loud today. I dare you, and when
Speaker 2: you do, welcome to the Kingdom.
Speaker 1: God bless you.
Speaker 3: Guys.
Speaker 2: We'll see you next week.
Speaker 1: Take care,
