Let's pray.

Lord, we give to you now as though we could.

Strength and wisdom, blessing and honor and glory and dominion, acknowledging that that is what you have and who you are.

And we need your help now, one more hour this morning to give heed to your word.

Please help me now.

To say the truth, guard me from error, and to say it in a way that would

be winsome and compelling according to the measure of truth that there is in it.

And so convict your people and strengthen your people and fit your people to suffer as they ought.

I pray in Jesus' name.

As I sat there through these last couple of hours,

I've been pondering how the Lord is orchestrating the morning.

And so let me try to weave it together like this. What I heard in the first hours that God grows the church, God grows the church.

Implicit in that that he's sovereign, we're unable to do it, and he has his own means

appointed, he use him.

And then I heard there is a love for us in the love of Christ that is beyond human comprehension and that we should have a pleasure bond to it and be

raptured by it and live our lives in it and delight in it. So this is great sovereign God, this great inability of humans over here and God's

appointed means to get done, what he means to get done

that we just sang about and there's this massive love that's beyond all

comprehension over here that we ought to be utterly swept up into and delight in with all our might

because we don't have the might to do it, therefore we need to pray for might to do it.

Where would that lead you? Pray for might to do it.

Where would that lead you?
