0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:05.7	So I'm chapter 73 verses 23 and 24. Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You hold my right hand.
0:12.8	You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. That not a great
0:18.3	couple of verses. Just a view your life today and this lens through the lens of the God who is
0:25.0	continually with you. I love that word continually. He is always, always, always continually with you
0:34.0	and me. He never for a moment leaves us. You and I have no idea what today holds, what tomorrow holds,
0:41.5	but we know for sure whatever comes our way. God will be continually with us and not just with us.
0:50.0	The next phrase you hold my right hand. He's not just with us. He's leading us, guiding us,
0:56.8	directing us. I think about my little 15-month-old girl, and I love walking with her, holding
1:04.4	her hand. And she's just learned to walk recently. So she finds support in that. She finds
1:10.9	relationship in that. She finds joy in that. She reaches out for my hand like yes to all of that

1:34.8	as our guide. We don't have to make any decisions on our own because our God is continually with us,
1:42.4	guiding us with his counsel. And afterward, you'll receive me to glory. Oh, put it all together.
1:49.5	God is with us, holding our hand, guiding us, and where is he guiding us? Where is he leading us?
1:55.6	Where is he taking us to glory? To glory. He's leading us for our good. This is Romans 8, 28-30.
2:03.7	God working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His
2:10.4	purpose. And His purpose is that we would be called justified and glorified with Him. So live your
2:18.2	life today through this lens. Let's pray through this lens. God, we praise you for continually being
2:24.1	with us. Think about different things I've walked through this week. And I praise you that you have
2:29.3	continually been with me at every moment. And that you promise to be that today. And tomorrow,
