Speaker 1: Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon podcast, your daily Joseph
Speaker 1: inspiring from heartfelt taglog sermons from different pastors and speakers
Speaker 1: all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds
Speaker 1: you in good shape. And now here's your message.
Speaker 2: Are going to wrap up our series Amazing Grace and
Speaker 2: this year and we really deliberately talked about grace because
Speaker 2: we believe, with so many things happening and with a
Speaker 2: new decade up ahead, we need to approach it not
Speaker 2: in our own strengths, but by the grace of God.
Speaker 2: And that's what we've been looking at and we've been
Speaker 2: studying at, and hopefully by this time you would say
Speaker 2: that grace is indeed amazing. Now let's jump straight to
Speaker 2: the word in Hebrews three onwards. It says here Hebrews
Speaker 2: three versus eighteen, It says here and to whom they
Speaker 2: swear that they would not enter his rest, but to
Speaker 2: those who are disobedient. So we see that they were
Speaker 2: unable to enter because of unbelief. Therefore, while the promise
Speaker 2: of entering his rest still stands the us fear lest
Speaker 2: any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.
Speaker 2: And then let me jump to verse seven to eleven,
Speaker 2: it says here again he appoints a certain day today,
Speaker 2: saying through David, so long afterward in the words already
Speaker 2: coated today. And I believe this is God's word for
Speaker 2: us today. If you hear his voice, harden your hearts.
Speaker 2: And in verse eleven, it says here, let us therefore
Speaker 2: strive to enter that rest, so that no one may
Speaker 2: fail by the same sort of disobedience that's about on
Speaker 2: our heads. And let's pray, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel,
Speaker 2: being known today that you are our God, and Lord,
Speaker 2: I pray that you would show that you are supreme
Speaker 2: in every part of our lives. Let fire come down
Speaker 2: and remove the things that does not belong to you,
Speaker 2: so that the things that are eternal will remain in
Speaker 2: Jesus name.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 2: Tapping up our series today, we are looking at the
Speaker 2: Book of Hebrews. And just to give you a background
Speaker 2: with this book, we've already seen this, we've used this text,
Speaker 2: we've used this book rather in one of our previous messages.
Speaker 2: But just to remind every one of us, the context
Speaker 2: here is that if you are receiving this letter, or
Speaker 2: if you are the Hebrew during the time that you
Speaker 2: receive this letter. On context Lahattam Binasenat in verse Karina
Speaker 2: was that the nation of Israel. Remember, Israel was enslaved
Speaker 2: by Egypt, but God delivered them. That's the book of
Speaker 2: Exodus through Moses, and God promised something for them.
Speaker 1: God promised a promised land for them.
Speaker 2: And in this text that rest and promised land a
Speaker 2: sort of used synonymously. So they were supposed to go
Speaker 2: inside the promised land. But because of their constant rebellion
Speaker 2: and this obedience to God and they're unbelieved to him,
Speaker 2: they were unable.
Speaker 1: To do so.
Speaker 2: Yum Egypt sabinila Lord Lord Egypt, mahapa gayance am I
Speaker 2: too big to big. And then God provided and Moses
Speaker 2: was the one leading the Israelites.
Speaker 1: But even Moses failed. Now that's the problem.
Speaker 2: Moses, the leader of the Israelites, also failed in the
Speaker 2: same case the gret Lord I promised desert, and then
Speaker 2: Moses got so impatient. Instead of speaking to the rock,
Speaker 2: he hit the rock. And then Moses also was disqualified
Speaker 2: from entering the promised lad because also like the Israelites,
Speaker 2: Moses was this obegent and did not believe God. So
Speaker 2: that's what that's the background of everything we just read.
Speaker 2: God promised something good for them, the promised land, the blessings,
Speaker 2: the land flowing of milk and honey, and his people
Speaker 2: and his leader Moses. We're supposed to enter that, trust
Speaker 2: God and obey him. But instead they disobeyed, and they
Speaker 2: did not believe God. So now that is what the Hebrews,
Speaker 2: the one receiving this letter knows. Uman Hebrews letter. Not
Speaker 2: all they are Jews who became Christians. Most probably they
Speaker 2: are Jews who became Christians, and they are undergoing intense
Speaker 2: challenges and problems in their lives, some even to the
Speaker 2: point again Christian Nohai sounds alike.
Speaker 1: The Israelites right, and.
Speaker 2: Egypt and some of the Hebrews were thinking, Mama, India, persecute.
Speaker 2: You're not being chased, you're not being oppressed. And then
Speaker 2: here was the writer of Hebrews saying these things.
Speaker 1: And he mentioned.
Speaker 2: There that before God said you're going to enter this land,
Speaker 2: but they did not because of their disobedience. And then
Speaker 2: he God said another day on on today, during the
Speaker 2: time of David.
Speaker 1: But even there the Israelites did not enter the promised land.
Speaker 2: And then here's the good news for the Hebrews during
Speaker 2: their time, which I believe.
Speaker 1: Is also a good news for us.
Speaker 2: That today still stands until now. What I'm trying to
Speaker 2: say is that rest that God promised for the Israelites
Speaker 2: then to his people his church then, and that rest
Speaker 2: is still also available to us. That rest is still
Speaker 2: available to us. So I don't get this, like, what's
Speaker 2: up with rest?
Speaker 1: I don't problem as a rest. You know, I was
Speaker 1: studying this.
Speaker 2: I came across this National Sleep Foundation, Sabin sabi Jan. Now,
Speaker 2: average age tuna is a teenagers fourteen to seventeen years old.
Speaker 2: That but now at least my eight to ten are
Speaker 2: sleep young adults eighteen to twenty five years old. My
Speaker 2: seven to nine are sleep aft gang adults and other adults. Now,
Speaker 2: just to show of hands, sino tito, you have consistently
Speaker 2: in a majority of the week less than seven hours
Speaker 2: of sleep seven hours an fatitle, yes, less than seven
Speaker 2: hours of sleep, less than less done?
Speaker 1: Yeah? But ours wow, less than seven hours of sleep? Wow?
Speaker 2: When you look at that, we already missed out the
Speaker 2: prescribed average of that.
Speaker 1: Now, for there are lots of studies about that.
Speaker 2: When sometimes we say, and then there's so many reasons
Speaker 2: why you know you're.
Speaker 1: Not able to sleep properly. Maybe for some of it
Speaker 1: it's just you know, you think you're so busy, but
Speaker 1: we're just browsing through phone. Now don't raise your hand,
Speaker 1: but sin.
Speaker 2: Dito gilty look and a more sat minutes now on
Speaker 2: enough arsena. Now not only that, you see other studies
Speaker 2: he share here lack of sleep linked to poorer mental
Speaker 2: health in college students, among teams, sleep deprivation is an
Speaker 2: epidemic strong word, epidemic sleep and disease risk for those
Speaker 2: health boffs almn man. If you want to be healthier
Speaker 2: diet for diet, exercise and rest, then a recent more
Speaker 2: recent one, gotta say. Some studies abdito technology take over
Speaker 2: impacting our brain and body.
Speaker 1: Body. Sometimes that's one of the reasons why it's half
Speaker 1: such a hard time to rest. Or. There's this hustled.
Speaker 2: Culture, and we see this prominent from high school to
Speaker 2: senior high school, to college to working to parents wherein
Speaker 2: we need.
Speaker 1: To hustle hard.
Speaker 2: Goes to Joan tak a hustle hard because in my
Speaker 2: expectation in Paris, go to talk about a hustle heart
Speaker 2: because I want to I want to have this amount
Speaker 2: by thirty years old, and then hustle hard because I
Speaker 2: have so many things to do, money, worries.
Speaker 1: Coming to age.
Speaker 2: Well, this is in the context of the States, But
Speaker 2: I believe Filipinas mad and I put money where isa.
Speaker 1: And then a poorer, a poorer, coping.
Speaker 2: Behavior, a complication of stress, all of these things. And
Speaker 2: sometimes we're not careful with this. But our souls and
Speaker 2: bodies are so linked together that sometimes and in fact,
Speaker 2: maybe I would say even most of the time. Most
Speaker 2: of the times, an unrested body also produces an unrested
Speaker 2: soul comes upon I bagstand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, picture and my filterbags.
Speaker 2: Know what is in the middle of the persecution among
Speaker 2: the Hebrews, What was the author telling Sabio today you
Speaker 2: thought you missed out the grace of God God is
Speaker 2: telling today it's still available. We don't know what happened
Speaker 2: to the church in Hebrew, the author or the recipients
Speaker 2: rather of that letter, But I believe even today it's
Speaker 2: still made available to us. Rest is still made available
Speaker 2: to us. And sometimes we put a delay in entering
Speaker 2: God's promised rest in and it's understandable. And I hope
Speaker 2: you don't hear the message. Now, that's not what it means,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, especially if those people who
Speaker 2: have experienced the grace of God, that there's an aspect
Speaker 2: of hustling heart, but internal rest. You see, a quiet
Speaker 2: soul does not necessarily mean that there's no noise. It's
Speaker 2: just having this security that you know who is in
Speaker 2: control that rest. And I believe the same message in
Speaker 2: the Israelites thousands of years ago to the recipient of
Speaker 2: the Letter of Hebrews, and until today, rest is still
Speaker 2: available to us.
Speaker 1: But the problem is we don't enter that rest. There's stopped.
Speaker 2: There's something that's stopping us from entering that rest. Sometimes
Speaker 2: it's external, may pressure long telegasake.
Speaker 1: Have you ever felt that twenty four hours is not enough?
Speaker 2: And Dammpasan and Gustan go in, Gus Bassa, Jim Maglaro
Speaker 2: spend on times a wife more.
Speaker 1: Someone will spend the times anamo.
Speaker 2: Times three, okay, so, and it feels like twenty four
Speaker 2: hours is not enough external reasons, but there are also
Speaker 2: sometimes there's an internal reason. And that's just similarly to
Speaker 2: the early Israelites, this obedience and unbelief Sabini Lord.
Speaker 1: Sabini Lord.
Speaker 2: Hat And it looks hard, and sometimes we may need
Speaker 2: to hustle hard. But when we disobey in fire, when
Speaker 2: we don't step into the path that he said that
Speaker 2: he wants us to take.
Speaker 1: Grace. But when we don't do that, there's we don't
Speaker 1: we have being us striving and a hard time.
Speaker 2: So there are external reasons why we're not entering the
Speaker 2: rest of God. But I believe more than the eternal reasons,
Speaker 2: it's the internal reasons, the disobedience and the unbelief. When
Speaker 2: God says something, it does something in our hearts may
Speaker 2: choice style lage or obey banatinsha oh Hindi. And when
Speaker 2: we don't choose to obey him, we are deliberately avoiding
Speaker 2: entering that rest. That's why I used to think. I
Speaker 2: used to not understand this verse. It's like smack in
Speaker 2: the middle of Hebrews four. But it says here, for
Speaker 2: the Word of God is living in active sharper than
Speaker 2: any double edged sword, penetrating even the bones and the marrows,
Speaker 2: spirited joints and the marrows, and discerning the thoughts and
Speaker 2: intentions of the heart.
Speaker 1: And no creature is hidden from his side.
Speaker 2: But all are naked and exposed to the eyes of
Speaker 2: Him to whom we must give account. Sabijano, you wording God,
Speaker 2: but may see abishah. It does not stay, it's not static.
Speaker 2: It does something. And what are the things that the
Speaker 2: word of God does? It reveals our hearts. NEVERI revillion nothing.
Speaker 1: And then we have a choice to obey him or
Speaker 1: to not obey him. But it does something in our hearts.
Speaker 2: Fear nothing, nakikita You pride nothing, Nakikita jung insecurity is nothing,
Speaker 2: Nakikita jung unbelief to trust him with the things to
Speaker 2: do and the things to come. Discerning the thoughts and
Speaker 2: intention of the art, have you ever have you ever
Speaker 2: said this about yourself?
Speaker 1: Maybe what you need is the word of God. It
Speaker 1: says here the Word of God is able to navigate
Speaker 1: all those intentions.
Speaker 2: Your intentions mean son Sahara will rested no problema external,
Speaker 2: but internally you know that God is already telling you
Speaker 2: to do something.
Speaker 1: That's the power of the word. That's how powerful the
Speaker 1: word of God is.
Speaker 2: It reveals our intentions, it reveals our sinfulness, it exposes
Speaker 2: them before God. Now, during the time of the Israelites,
Speaker 2: when when they know that they have sin, what they
Speaker 2: do is that they have this ritual, the day of Atonement,
Speaker 2: wherein a high priest would come before God and would
Speaker 2: represent the people of Israel and would make the sacrifice.
Speaker 2: That's already a picture that this is what happens to
Speaker 2: our sin. Something needs to be sacrificed once a year,
Speaker 2: is the high priest. So that's how the people of
Speaker 2: Israel deal with their sin. Someone goes in a high priest,
Speaker 2: taking out representing them, confessing their sin and having that
Speaker 2: sacrifice an animal, a lamb, and then they are cleansed.
Speaker 1: They are clean.
Speaker 2: Now during the time of the Israels, also it was
Speaker 2: Moses who was supposed to who was supposed to represent
Speaker 2: them before God. But even Moses sinned. Now the high priest,
Speaker 2: imagine he is next year Paramaliniska before God. And that's
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Before during their time, the sin inside
Speaker 2: our hearts is not dealt with. And then here's the
Speaker 2: good news sabiito Hebbes four fourteen to fifteen. Since then,
Speaker 2: pertaining to a past event that has happened, we have
Speaker 2: a great high priest. Now this high priest is different
Speaker 2: friend from the high priest in the Old Testament. The
Speaker 2: Old Testament, high priest goes inside at a bernacle to
Speaker 2: represent the people of God. We have a great high
Speaker 2: priest who passed through the heavens, went straight to the
Speaker 2: Holy of holies.
Speaker 1: In the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God.
Speaker 2: Let us hold fast our confession, for we do not
Speaker 2: have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with
Speaker 2: our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been
Speaker 2: tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Speaker 1: It was God reaching down to us. It was God
Speaker 1: breaking the Barriersani Jesus, Jesus, the great High priest ungin
Speaker 1: know Wani Jesus shining and represent parasatin to God.
Speaker 2: And he took away our sins when he died on
Speaker 2: the cross, and he gave us a new life. And
Speaker 2: sometimes we say Abamanian Lord, feeling, if only Lord you
Speaker 2: can give me the reason why, if if only you
Speaker 2: could understand.
Speaker 1: And then we see here.
Speaker 2: That this great high priest has been tempted as we are,
Speaker 2: who is able to sympathize with us. Al Amponi jesusatina
Speaker 2: trin friend Novegan, have you ever felt injustice wrongfully accused
Speaker 2: someone that you're trusting, but then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: left you in the air. Twelve disciples. Jesus knows what
Speaker 2: we're going through. He understands the pain. In fact, one
Speaker 2: of he understands the sorrow. In fact, one of his
Speaker 2: name is a man of sorrows. And I say, yeah,
Speaker 2: he is able to understand us. He's able to sympathize
Speaker 2: with us. And having all those things, he went there
Speaker 2: straight to the heavens when he took away our sins.
Speaker 1: He died on the cross. And before there used to
Speaker 1: be lots of rituals and all those things.
Speaker 2: Jesus broke all of those things because he's the great
Speaker 2: High Priest. Sacrifice Shanna young Priest, Champayo sacrifice grab.
Speaker 1: It used to be different. There's a different sacrifice, and
Speaker 1: then there's the High Priest. Now it's just one. The
Speaker 1: High Priest is the sacrifice who took away the sense
Speaker 1: of the world.
Speaker 2: Why so that you and I can now not wait
Speaker 2: for another year before our sins are dealt with.
Speaker 1: But Jesus gives us access to this rest.
Speaker 2: You can get a money lord paramhimta a holy week.
Speaker 1: We don't even have to have other people do this
Speaker 1: for us. You yourself. Kayoo, my access potaio my.
Speaker 2: God ms malami access must be ip access amnapastor.
Speaker 1: It's not like that. We all have equal access before God.
Speaker 2: Whether you are years in the faith, maybe you are
Speaker 2: the first second third generation in your family who's a Christian,
Speaker 2: or you're just new less than a year, we all
Speaker 2: have equal access to Him. What Jesus did is he
Speaker 2: may the way. Now here's the amazing thing about the
Speaker 2: book of Hebrews. And when I was studying this, so
Speaker 2: where do we find this rest? Okay, Jesus made a
Speaker 2: way straight up. Look at this in Hebrews four, verse sixteen. Sabidito,
Speaker 2: Now that the sin inside of us are taken care of,
Speaker 2: Now that we don't have to think of our good
Speaker 2: works to make us write before God. Now that we
Speaker 2: are made or righteous because of what Christ has done
Speaker 2: in Puma topic that in p these weeks, let us, then,
Speaker 2: with confidence, drawn near to the throne of grace, that
Speaker 2: we may receive mercy and find grace to help in
Speaker 2: time of need. Confidence you put your confidence not in
Speaker 2: Let me ask you now and sometimes when I when
Speaker 2: we talk to people, sabinila, are you sing? And when
Speaker 2: we say that we forget that our What we're saying
Speaker 2: is our confidence is our good works, in good works.
Speaker 2: But when we see our confidence is in what Christ
Speaker 2: has done.
Speaker 1: What we're saying is, Lord, I'm broken. Lord, would you
Speaker 1: accept everything about me? My brokenness, my pain, my sin, everything.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you. And my trust and confidence.
Speaker 2: Is this he said, It is finished. This confidence that
Speaker 2: is that we have. We can approach him boldly. It
Speaker 2: has been dealt with and then drawn near to the
Speaker 2: throne of grace. Now this is where we find the
Speaker 2: rest in front of the throne. Whoa than gala rest,
Speaker 2: high priests and throne. That's where we find rest before
Speaker 2: the throne. No, I did a bit of a study
Speaker 2: about the word throne. When you look at it, what
Speaker 2: does the throne represent? Now, I'm going to consolidate everything now, madam.
Speaker 1: In words tonal, but the throne.
Speaker 2: Usually means it's a place or a seat of possession.
Speaker 2: It represents power, it represents authority. The Bible says that
Speaker 2: the throne of God, the foundation of that is justice
Speaker 2: and righteousiousness.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, in the throne or on
Speaker 1: the throne.
Speaker 2: That's where also decisions are made that's where someone says,
Speaker 2: and because it may make king hear, it also means power.
Speaker 2: It also means if you need favor and you approach
Speaker 2: the king.
Speaker 1: During their time, whether you get it or not. It's
Speaker 1: also a pace of judgment.
Speaker 2: There's so many things that I won't be able to
Speaker 2: go through it. But whatever all those things mean is
Speaker 2: available now to you and me, Lord.
Speaker 1: And then when we stand before the throne, you are
Speaker 1: in control.
Speaker 2: Oh and sometimes for some of us, Lord, there's an
Speaker 2: injustice done before me magin Masamasa, and it seems like
Speaker 2: no one's fighting for me.
Speaker 1: And then we come up before the throne. You are
Speaker 1: a judge. Lord. We don't know where we gonna get this.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We've tried all our best.
Speaker 2: And then when you approach the throne, the king, the
Speaker 2: source of all profession, you would say you are a
Speaker 2: loving provider. It does something different in us. Whatever the
Speaker 2: throne represents is available to us. It means control, it
Speaker 2: means power, it means authority. Another interesting about Jesus. When
Speaker 2: he died on the cross, he resurrected from the dead.
Speaker 2: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right
Speaker 2: hand of the throne meaning tapusna whatever the war, it
Speaker 2: needs to be done.
Speaker 1: It's finished. That's what we were singing a while ago.
Speaker 1: It's over. We're victorious.
Speaker 2: Have you ever felt feeling inadvocate? When you look at
Speaker 2: the throne, you would see, Wow, Lord, what are your
Speaker 2: What's making your souls restless?
Speaker 1: Is it a lack? Is it injustice? Is it pain?
Speaker 1: Is it people who doesn't who don't understand you?
Speaker 2: Is it fear? Is it feeling overwhelmed? Is it feeling alone?
Speaker 2: I want to invite you bring all of those things before.
Speaker 1: The throne of God. And what do we get there?
Speaker 1: Do we get judgment? No, it's already been done dealt
Speaker 1: with on the cross? What do we get receive mercy
Speaker 1: and find grace? When when in time of need? What
Speaker 1: does it mean? Ibisa behin hind problem? Next week? Lord?
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen, right, problemat I next week? That would
Speaker 2: have been perfect, But that doesn't happen. In reality, it
Speaker 2: comes sometimes unplanned, or I would say always comes unplanned.
Speaker 2: And when that happens, you have an option. You go
Speaker 2: to him or do you not? And when you come
Speaker 2: to him, the promise the command is drawn near to
Speaker 2: him and the promise is you will receive You may
Speaker 2: receive mercy and find grace in your time of need.
Speaker 2: I'm comin, Sr. Safa, but I'm telling you we will
Speaker 2: find mercy and grace in the time of our need.
Speaker 2: Whatever is making our souls unrested, bring it to the Throne,
Speaker 2: bring it before the authority of God. Transfer the control
Speaker 2: from you to him.
Speaker 1: It's going to make our souls lighter. You know. Pastor
Speaker 1: Dennis mentioned this, and this is our direction for this
Speaker 1: year and maybe a little bit.
Speaker 2: Earlier next year. We want our church to make space
Speaker 2: for God to move. We want us to be able
Speaker 2: to experience the rest from God so that we will
Speaker 2: be able to do the work of God around us.
Speaker 2: One thing that we have been working on and practicing
Speaker 2: is this. I'm going to tell you the spiritual discipline
Speaker 2: nah now natangala christian factor neto that it's actually a
Speaker 2: very Christian discipline and that's the discipline of solitude.
Speaker 1: The Christian Oh.
Speaker 2: Sorry, the non Christian way of saying this is meditation
Speaker 2: bagopanelina is if your meditation Christianity peralma christiano nimarum solitude,
Speaker 2: what is solitude? It's setting aside time, so that you
Speaker 2: can spend you and your soul in quietness and aloneness
Speaker 2: before the throne of God.
Speaker 1: Sa mundo sobran connected.
Speaker 2: In fact, if I just opened my internet now, more
Speaker 2: than ten to fifteen notifications would come, probably more than
Speaker 2: five or message. But by point here is this, it's
Speaker 2: so in our world, we're in it. We're just one
Speaker 2: click away from being connected. We have failed to see.
Speaker 1: To build our connection between the one who is seated
Speaker 1: on the throne. So that's a discipline of solitude. How
Speaker 1: do you how do we do solitude? Very short cash
Speaker 1: on time not all.
Speaker 2: If you want to know more about this, we have
Speaker 2: prayer and worship night every Thursday seven eight pm mahaba
Speaker 2: on time. No solitude is then is that time when
Speaker 2: you want to be alone, no distractions, no phones, no music, yes, patio,
Speaker 2: but it worships Uncle holy Spirit, and just spend the
Speaker 2: time with God and rested. And then just spend that
Speaker 2: time and in that time.
Speaker 1: You can be just who you are.
Speaker 2: You want to cry out, you want to be angry,
Speaker 2: you want to feel insecure, Bring it before the throne, Lord, Adam,
Speaker 2: Lord insecure, Lord, It's okay, pour it out all out
Speaker 2: to him. Why Because what's the promise we will receive?
Speaker 1: What mercy and grace?
Speaker 2: Don't you want that in our life? Then why don't
Speaker 2: we go to the throne? Because that's the promise of God.
Speaker 1: So that's solitude setting aside time. Sometimes we do it
Speaker 1: every day.
Speaker 2: Now I'm trying to do this, but I would usually
Speaker 2: do before I read my Bible. It depends now what
Speaker 2: I'm a way to do this, But at least for me,
Speaker 2: this is what I do. I read my Bible and
Speaker 2: then I just set it aside, just close my eyes
Speaker 2: and just have a moment of silence. I try to
Speaker 2: do it at least ten minutes means an in the kaya,
Speaker 2: three minutes means and my big lang could go in
Speaker 2: five minutes. But my point is is that one set
Speaker 2: aside time, maybe when you're driving, or maybe when you
Speaker 2: are in the restroom.
Speaker 1: Just take that. Have you ever.
Speaker 2: Experienced thinking creative things and thinking deep thoughts when you
Speaker 2: are in the restroom?
Speaker 1: Have kay set aside that time?
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, at least for me, it has made
Speaker 2: me more aware of my soul. I insecure, Insecure, insecure
Speaker 2: p has been revealed before the throne. Insecure help me
Speaker 2: help me solitude. It does wonders. You can do it
Speaker 2: every day, maybe when you're driving, when and you're doing
Speaker 2: quiet time. I want to challenge you, may be set
Speaker 2: aside the timeline ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Ten minutes, no scroll that in the phone, after you
Speaker 1: read the Bible.
Speaker 2: Just set aside ten minutes silence, just close your eyes
Speaker 2: and you would I promise you, this is what's going
Speaker 2: to happen. Pig up on Lily too, Yuma to do list.
Speaker 2: That's how unrested our souls are. I'm only gonna prepare
Speaker 2: to ten minutes, not ten minutes long.
Speaker 1: Google Mu casin in control. Have that to our trust.
Speaker 2: Trust trust pushes some pizza two minutes, two minutes, and
Speaker 2: it would show how unrested our souls are. You could
Speaker 2: do it every day, or you could do it maybe
Speaker 2: once a week. We have that in our prayer and
Speaker 2: worship life, that we do that corporately.
Speaker 1: Individually. Now us as a family.
Speaker 2: What we did this year is that we actually set
Speaker 2: aside a half day. We just went to one mountain
Speaker 2: to pray, so tim dimension.
Speaker 1: And solitude the whole.
Speaker 2: And then it has done wonder, It has set direction
Speaker 2: for me. It has revealed something in my heart. Afterwards,
Speaker 2: when me and my wife are discussing the things that
Speaker 2: we believe God revealed in our hearts, it has brought
Speaker 2: a fresher or more fresh perspective not just in our life,
Speaker 2: but in our ministry and our marriage and our parenting.
Speaker 1: Friends.
Speaker 2: Now about coming point of solitude the day. Those are
