Would you join me as we pray, Lord, the joy that you give us, Lord, the world cannot give us.

Would you be our strength this evening, Lord?

Would you teach us in your word?

Holy Spirit, would you calm our bodies, our and our spirits Lord that we would be focused

and needy for you this evening Lord so would you feel that need that we have within us Lord for more

of you blessed this teaching and our time in your word continue to give Pastor J.D. the strength, Lord.

Take one step forward for you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.

Well, good evening. You can be seated. Online, we're so glad that while you're already seated, but welcome, we're glad that you're

joining with us.

Really looking forward to what the Lord has for us, but before we jump in, I want to let you

know that our all church prayer meeting is going to be this coming Tuesday May 5th 7 p.m. here in the sanctuary

really hope you're able to come and join with us but tonight we are making progress

chapter 2 so I well I'm just going to jump in is that okay so this chapter has

a profound and powerful truth.

I'm gonna even go as far as saying life-changing truth, but the problem is it's not so easily

seen at first read. And what it is is that of God showing me my need before providing me my need. So that's going to come,

I want to use the word screaming, but I do enough of that. So just for lack of a better

word, use that until I come up with

another one it's going to just come leaping that's a better one leaping out of

this chapter as no less than one main takeaway for us to take home you know that psal, I want to say it's 34, it's probably

37, but let's just say it's 34, where the psalmist writes, delight yourself in the Lord,

and he will give you the desires of your heart. Now as a young believer, I was thought, cool.
