| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Sword and Shield. I hope you guys are enjoying this little |
| 0:15.5 | thing we're doing now. I'm enjoying it. Scripture reading for this week, Proverbs 30, verse |
| 0:22.4 | 5. Are you ready? Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him. |
| 0:31.6 | That's a nice easy one. Let's say it again. Every word of God proves true. How many words? |
| 0:39.2 | Every single word. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you if you are anything like me, |
| 0:47.1 | then you probably know what it is like to sometimes view the word of God, the Bible, right? |
| 0:55.4 | Sometimes we view the word of God like, well, I know it's true. I'm not saying it's not. |
| 1:01.4 | I'm only saying that I got a lot of problems and I got a lot going on and I'm really stressed out |
| 1:07.4 | and the world has lost its mind and my kids won't shut up or whatever my marriage is not doing good. |
| 1:13.2 | I don't know what God wants me to do. I'm really confused and I know the Bible's true. I'm not saying |

| 1:36.9 | mean, John. This is about trusting God. Can you relate to this saying, well, I know that I trust |
| 1:44.9 | God. I'm just saying, I don't know if I want to view the Bible as literally every single word |
| 1:52.1 | proves true because there's a lot of things in my life that I just I have to deal with. I have to |
| 1:58.6 | rectify all these practical things are happening and I'm not sure that the Bible necessarily answers |
| 2:05.8 | that. Maybe it's not that practical. Can you relate to that? That used to be me. I'm not judging you. |
| 2:12.8 | I'm not saying that you're not a Christian. I was a Christian. I loved God. I loved the Bible. |
| 2:17.8 | I just didn't love the Bible like I ought. So let's go back to the scripture because what happens |
| 2:25.0 | is that we try to find refuge in other places and I'm telling you brothers and sisters, |
| 2:31.3 | it's the reason you're so stressed out. If that's you and if you're a little stressed out |
