| 0:00.0 | Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net. Psalm chapter 111 verses 2 and 5. |
| 0:09.4 | Psalm 111 verse 2 says, great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. |
| 0:17.7 | In verse 5, says he provides food for those who fear him. |
| 0:24.2 | So as I'm reading through, reflecting on Psalm 111 in light of the coronavirus crisis that has surrounded us now for months and the effects of that in different people's lives |
