| 0:00.0 | All right now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but it's never too late to start and we're in this together. |
| 0:08.6 | This is the Join the Journey podcast. |
| 0:12.8 | Thanks for joining. |
| 0:14.0 | My name is Lauren Atkinson and I am on the Join the Journey staff team and today is a Monday. |
| 0:19.4 | So that means there's another episode of Join the |
| 0:22.2 | Journey Jr. out today. So we will put the link to that in the description so you can check out |

| 1:11.7 | that I don't actually know as well. But today, I really want to invite us to just sit in the |
| 1:17.4 | reality that God reigns. And I know you've probably heard that before, that God is all powerful, |
| 1:23.3 | that he rules over all, but I really just want us to sit and reflect on what it means that |

| 1:33.5 | Verse one is really the foundation of this passage, and the rest of the Psalm is going to build |
| 1:38.2 | off of it. It says, the Lord reigns. Let the earth rejoice. Let the many coastlands be glad. And there's so much here, |
