| 0:00.0 | Good morning my friends and welcome back. It is time for the morning mindset. |
| 0:07.8 | Time for you and for me to get our minds aligned with the truth of God and today we're going to do that through repetition. |
| 0:17.0 | That may be a funny way to be introduced to the topic but in the Bible especially in the different forms of literature |
| 0:25.8 | like the Psalms are poetry repetition is used to drive a point home it's used to make a point home. It's used to make the point obvious and in this |
