tonight. We're making our way through this book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

We've been doing about a chapter a week, and so again, no hurry going through this book.

And here again tonight is another chapter that I'm really looking forward to.

I know I say that about every chapter in

the book of Proverbs but in particular tonight we're really in for I believe a real

blessing. So why don't we ask God to bless our time together in His word if you would join

with me. Thank you, so much.

Lord, thank you that concerning this coronavirus you've not given us a spirit of fear, that we

have nothing to fear, that you are in control, that you take care of your own, that there's an angelic protection, and you've given

us prudence and discernment and wisdom and understanding.

So Lord, I pray for anybody that might be given over to fear or be experiencing anxiety concerning

this outbreak that many believe will soon become and maybe in some ways already is a pandemic.

Lord, I just pray that you would settle their hearts and and Lord use this use this to bring

multitudes into your kingdom Lord as only you can as something like this is

prone to do so Lord thank you I, I really believe and we've talked about

this that we as the church today have before us perhaps the greatest and grandest

opportunity we've ever had concerning the urgency of the hour in which

we live.

And so, Lord, thank you.

I pray that we'll be found faithful, that we would seize every opportunity, give to everyone

an answer of that hope that we have when they look at us and say, why aren't

you freaking out like everybody else over this? And then we can give them that answer of that
