Psalm chapter 111, verse 2.

Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.

I want you to think about those two words.

When we think about the works of God, so think about what God has done in history,

his works in the past, what God is doing now in our lives and the world around us,

his works in the present, and what God will do in the future, his works according to his promises that we know

he will do. Like when you think about the works of the Lord, past, present, and future, we study them

and we delight in them. I think about that.

Look back in history.

Just think in the Bible.

Just different stories in the Bible.

I think about sitting around with my family when we're having family worship and one of our kids tells a story from Scripture.

I think about when my youngest, like like his favorite story has always been Daniel in the lion's den, to the point where we were like, ah, you've got to come up with a different story

to tell, because you tell that story all the time.

But there's kind of a beauty in that because he loves the story, he loves what God did in Daniel's life, how he brought him out

of the lines in, he always gets to the end of the story and he's like, he didn't even have a

scratch on him. Like he uses that line every time. It's like he delights in this story. He studied

it, and so he tells it, like, this is actually a really good thing.

And this is what we should be doing.

Like, in our lives and our families and our churches, like to talk about God's works from the past,

to study them and to find delight in them.
