1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 Welcome to Twelve24, a ministry of worship transforms. We want to empower you to 2 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,560 live your best life through biblical inspiration and through connecting with 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,880 Jesus in meditative worship. As we regularly meet with Him in worship, 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,280 that's how we're a way that we can jump-start our transformation because as 5 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:26,020 we gaze on Him, we have a better understanding of who He is and who we 6 00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:29,980 are in Him. So this is how it's gonna work. We're going to have just a short 7 00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:35,520 devo and then we're gonna dive into some about 12 or so minutes of meditative 8 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,760 worship using Scripture as our guide and we will come face to face with Jesus and 9 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:49,040 He'll be able to do what He needs to do in our lives. 12 minutes of meditating 10 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:55,160 on a good God has been shown to change our neural pathways, actually to form new 11 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,560 healthy neural pathways in our brain. They used to not think that was possible 12 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:06,560 but now they know it is and here's what's so cool. God is already in the 13 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,920 business of transforming us to become in the image of His Son but when we do this 14 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:18,040 it's like accelerating it or getting a jump-start so He can do His work in us 15 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,760 even faster and we can experience that transformation that we're longing for as 16 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,880 well. And don't forget to like and subscribe. We don't want you to miss out 17 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:34,280 on any upcoming videos. Alright let's dive in. Let's say that God came to you in a 18 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:41,520 dream and in that dream He said you can ask me any one thing that you want and 19 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,240 I'll grant it to you. That would be so amazing. That's actually what happened to 20 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,800 Solomon. He came to Solomon and said Solomon you can ask me any one thing and 21 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:58,920 Solomon very wisely said wisdom. That's what I'd like more than anything is 22 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:06,480 wisdom. Well what would your one thing be? It's interesting because when we dream 23 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,880 we don't usually get to think of what we would do. It just comes out of the heart 24 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:18,840 right? So maybe you've always wanted to get married or you are just tired of 25 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,400 dealing with all the money issues and you say if I could just be wealthy that 26 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,400 would be my one thing or if I could just have that home I've always wanted or if I 27 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,160 could reconcile with this person if if I knew that my kids would walk with the 28 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:38,880 Lord what is your one thing? Well David, King David, who's actually Solomon's 29 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:49,520 father says this and this is in Psalm 27 in verse 4. David says one thing I have 30 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,840 asked from the Lord that I shall seek that I may dwell in the house of the 31 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,640 Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate 32 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:05,600 in his temple. You know that's what we're gonna be doing right? Each and every time 33 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,560 we're gonna be meditating on the Lord as we dwell in his house but to think that 34 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,880 that was David's one thing and it's so interesting because God says of David 35 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:25,600 that he was a man after his own heart. He knew that his heart was after God and 36 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:32,960 God says this actually in 2nd Chronicles 16 9 he says for I search to and 37 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,920 fro throughout the whole earth that I would strongly that I would strongly 38 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:44,680 support those whose hearts are fully mine. I want God to strongly support me 39 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,740 and I imagine you do too. I mean think about that this is the creator of the 40 00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:59,400 world strongly supporting what it is you want to do. Well that's crazy so we just 41 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,840 need to align ourselves with God right? Well look what happened to King David in 42 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,040 in making that his goal. Well he was anointed King of Israel at the ripe 43 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,320 young age of 15 but clearly God knew he was not ready to take over the kingship 44 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,800 so he had to wait his life a hundred percent his 15 another 15 years it 45 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,760 wasn't until he was 30 years old that he actually became King of Israel and 46 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:34,240 imagine in that time how much he must have doubted the word that he received 47 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,360 the anointing that he received from Samuel the prophet that he would one day 48 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,800 be King of Israel. What promise has God told you? What promise have you been 49 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:50,400 clinging to that you know God has told you he wants for you but you haven't 50 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:55,800 seen it and maybe you're starting to lose hope. I get it it's a really hard 51 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,080 sometimes to go after those things and you're not seeing the reality of it 52 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,320 during that time during those 15 years Saul I mean Saul was persecuting David 53 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,400 so David was experiencing terrible persecution from Saul and he tried to 54 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,640 kill him over and over David was literally running for his life yet he 55 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,060 clung to God and the whole psalm is such a beautiful depiction of trust in the 56 00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:26,320 Lord no matter what happens and in fact for the next couple times after this 57 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,280 we're gonna dive into some other pieces of Psalm 27 so you're not gonna want to 58 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:34,520 miss out on that I'm so excited I've been meditating on it myself and I've 59 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,480 just been so blessed and how God has been speaking to me through it so real 60 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,800 quick I want you to hear how God strongly supported David what happened 61 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:52,000 as a result of him seeking the Lord and to dwell in his house as his one thing 62 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:00,000 so this is the list of things David defeated Israel's number one enemy the 63 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,560 giant Goliath and that was only when he was a teenager with just a slingshot he 64 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,640 went from being a humble shepherd boy to being anointed king of Israel and then 65 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,680 actually taking that role during his kingship he established Jerusalem as the 66 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:23,800 capital of Israel he also unified all of Israel together God made an everlasting 67 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,960 covenant with David and said that his that the Messiah the hope of the world 68 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,720 would come through David and indeed it did Jesus himself came from the line of 69 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:41,320 David what an incredible honor and then David left so many of the Psalms for us 70 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:47,440 to bless us as a depiction of what it looks like to have a heart for God as a 71 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,920 depiction of what it's like to just be raw and real before him the Psalms are 72 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,620 just filled with angst and joy and heartache and repentance and sorrow he 73 00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:02,480 was just real with him you know what that's how we want to come to the Lord 74 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:08,320 every single time we want to come with just our realness who we are and how 75 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,800 we're feeling at the moment it's okay God can handle it but we want to come to 76 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:20,960 him with who we are and let him minister to us let him remind us of who he is and 77 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:28,560 who we are in him so we're gonna do this and I'm so excited for you to go 78 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,640 on this journey with us you might want to grab your Bible and turn to Psalm 79 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,360 27 you can lay down and do this you can walk you can be doing the dishes 80 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,040 whatever it is you want to do but we're gonna just try to take this we're in it 81 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,080 we're gonna take this time we're gonna try to focus on him and specifically in 82 00:07:47,080 --> 00:08:00,800 Psalm 27 verse 4 as we meditate on the Lord 83 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,080 Jesus we're just thankful to be here with you today we give you our 84 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,000 attention we set our gaze on you 85 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,480 and our prayer today our meditation the meditation of our heart is that we would 86 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:24,320 seek you above everything else just like David did make that the cry of our heart 87 00:08:45,600 -->
