00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
I'm thinking today of Habakkuk 310.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,320
There's a name you don't hear all that often, but it's a key crucial prophet in the Old

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,320
Testament.

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:11,320
Habakkuk 310.

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,000
It says, the mountains saw you and quaked.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,640
The downpour of waters swept by.

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,000
The deep uttered forth its voice.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680
It lifted high its hands.

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,840
Habakkuk 310.

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,200
This sounds like terms of worship.

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,120
The mountains saw him and quaked.

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,280
They're big.

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,680
They're strong.

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,960
And the one thing they don't do is shake in fear or awe.

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,240
But in God's case, they do.

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,360
The ocean uttered forth its voice.

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,000
And it lifted its hands high.

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,900
Not often pictured as crying out or singing.

19
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:54,000
But here are these things and lifted hands to God.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,640
God truly is awesome.

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,240
He deserves from us things that without him, we would not be capable of.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,960
You can praise God today despite your situation because God makes it possible.

23
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,840
You can find an inner joy despite your suffering because God makes it possible.

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,640
God wants nothing less than what's best for us.

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,320
When we're going the wrong way, He opposes us.

26
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,360
When we're going the right way, He supports us, encourages us.

27
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,320
God chastises those whom He loves and sends the Holy Spirit to encourage us every single

28
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:29,800
day.

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,720
Lift up holy hands.

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,200
Raise your voices.

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Meet with the church on Sunday.

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,560
Praise God.

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Your local church wants to serve the Lord and you need to be there to serve the Lord in

34
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120
it.

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:52,800
We can do things for God that we would not otherwise be capable of.
