-
Certainly thankful to be in God's house this morning. Amen,
-
you can be turned into Luke chapter one, and then
-
we're also going to look into Job chapter one. Certainly
-
thankful for the opportunity this morning to preach. Certainly would
-
have rather heard our pastor being away for so long,
-
being on our trip. Just really missed being in service,
-
and I was really looking forward to coming into Sunday service.
-
I was praying last night, praying over the weekend, just
-
really looking forward to coming in hearing and preach. But
-
believe in God to help him recover soon. Amen, Luke
-
chapter one, and then we'll look over in Job chapter
-
one as well. Luke Chapter one, Verse forty six says,
-
and Mary said, my soul doth magnify the Lord, and
-
my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Savior, for he
-
hath regarded the lowest state of his handmade for behold.
-
From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed, for He
-
that is mighty hath done to me great things, and
-
holy is his name. Real quick while you're flipping over
-
to Job chapter one, Psalm twenty three and six says,
-
surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
-
of my life, and I will dwell in the house
-
of the Lord forever.
-
Job chapter one.
-
We're gonna look at the last two verses there, verses
-
twenty one and twenty two. Actually this beginning verse twenty.
-
Then Job arose and rent his mantle, and shaved his head,
-
and fell down upon the ground and worshiped, and said, naked,
-
came I out of my mother's womb, And naked shall
-
I return thither the Lord gave, and the Lord have
-
taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. In
-
all this Job sin not nor charge God foolishly. Hopefully
-
the Lord help us tie this in together here this morning.
-
If you all pray, Lord, we ask for your hell.
-
Dear God. Lord, we thank you for your presence we've
-
already felt. Lord.
-
We thank you for your spirit that has been made manifest.
-
God here today, Lord, we pray that you go with us.
-
Lord that Lord we say something this morning that'll touch
-
a heart, touch your soul. Help us God and me
-
with us and these altars. God, Lord, for that's what
-
it's all about. Touch our pastor right now. We pray
-
be with them and his wife God, all those that
-
are out this morning. God will give you the praise,
-
the honor, and the glory here this morning.
-
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
How many there's two different sayings they they saund almost
-
the same. There's two different sayings. How many have you
-
ever heard somebody say, check your check your tone, or
-
change your tone. I've heard that several times growing up,
-
watch your tone. But how many people have also heard
-
this saying? Speaking normally you're speaking about somebody else. You're
-
saying they changed their tune, the way that their outlook
-
on something, the way they thought about something. We would
-
say they changed their tune. So I want you to
-
keep those two, those two sayings in your mind this morning.
-
If the Lord had help me, I want to preach
-
on your soul has a song, Amen, Your soul has
-
a song.
-
So we're gonna begin here in luke Luke.
-
We're all familiar with coming out of this Christmas season.
-
I'm sure we all read the read the account maybe
-
several times throughout the month of December, and a familiar
-
character we saw there was Mary, right, we we call
-
her the Virgin Mary. All that's what she was at
-
the beginning. Amen, We're all very familiar with the character
-
of Mary, and oftentimes around this time of the year,
-
the December time of the year, we talk about the
-
character and the manner of life and the person that
-
Mary was, who she would have been for God to
-
trust her with Carrie and the Son of God, Emmanuel,
-
God himself. Amen, we would all agree that she was
-
a woman of God, a God fearing woman, a holy
-
woman for God to entrust her in this way. However,
-
a lot of times we don't really go beyond that
-
too much. We talk for before God moved and when
-
God's promise came to fruition, but we don't talk about
-
how she might have lived after that. And Psalm forty six,
-
it begins something called My Bible titles it Mary's joyful song.
-
Your Bible probably says it's Mary's song. This is a
-
song I believe She went to her to go see Elizabeth,
-
and she's talking to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth rejoices, the baby
-
leaps in her womb, and then Mary.
-
Begins to sing this song, if you would. And some
-
points in this song of hers, she begins in forty
-
six and forty seven that we've read she has a
-
heart of worship, and then in verse.
-
Forty eight she expresses her humility. She expresses, behold the
-
handmaid of the Lord. And this is something that we
-
also saw when the Angel came to her. She expresses
-
her humility towards God. And then in verse forty nine,
-
the part and the song goes on some more, but
-
in forty nine where we stopped, it talks about it
-
reflects on God's might and his power.
-
Amen.
-
Now, I truly believe that this song in Mary's heart,
-
this song in Mary's soul, that it was a song
-
that she carried since she was a little girl.
-
Amen.
-
I believe, I truly believe that this is something that
-
her parents instilled in her. And we would all agree
-
the character of Mary, that this song is something that
-
it's the tune, the overarching tune of her life and
-
her heart, her true heart's belief towards.
-
God since she was a little girl. Amen.
-
But when she gets older, and what does it look
-
like after the promise has come into fruition, after the
-
blessing has been given, after she's received a place of promotion,
-
if you would, what does her life look like at
-
that point?
-
Amen? If we flip over, if we flip over into
-
John chapter two, there's a very familiar account where Jesus
-
and Mary they're at a wedding together and the wine
-
runs out, and Mary goes to him and she says,
-
in my words, she says, Jesus, they're out of wine.
-
We need you to do something.
-
And Jesus is like, well, it's not my time, it's
-
not my hour. I'm not you know, to do these
-
things yet. But Mary goes to the servants and she says,
-
whatsoever he saith.
-
Under you do it. Mary's song did not change despite
-
her promotion. Amen. Mary's song did not change despite her promise.
-
In fact, she goes and she continues to tell people, Hey,
-
whatever he says to you, be obedient to it. Whatever,
-
submit yourself to him, and do all that he tells
-
you to do, and you'll receive the blessing.
-
Amen.
-
How many people though that after they come to church
-
and they pray, and they pray, and a man of God,
-
a minister will come and they'll lay hands on them,
-
they'll give them a promise they'll receive a word from
-
the Lord. Sometimes they'll stick around to that promise comes
-
into fruition. But how many people we see that when
-
God moves for them, instead.
-
Of remaining humble like Mary?
-
Did they turn around and they think that there's somebody
-
and they walk out.
-
Amen.
-
How many times that you see them really seek for
-
something and God blesses them and then their prayer life changes,
-
their church attendance changes.
-
Amen. And it comes so shortly after receiving the promise
-
or a blessing from the Lord. Amen. So how is
-
that for you personally? How is that for me? What
-
is my soul's song, the song that my soul sings,
-
the anthem, my prayer, my belief, my knowledge towards God?
-
What does that look like? Is it? Is it steady? Amen?
-
Is it steady? Married?
-
And change her tune towards Jesus. She was so excited
-
there at the beginning. You know, we get so excited.
-
Oh God spoke to me. God told me something. God
-
promised me something. But does our two change a little
-
bit up the road when we received it. Now we
-
think we're somebody and now say, you know, we receive salvation.
-
The preacher says, hey, in order to keep your salvation,
-
you better do this, and we say, oh no, it's mine.
-
I prayed for that, I got that. Now my tune
-
is changing. I don't want to be that kind of
-
person here this morning. Amen, hallelujah.
-
We're all familiar with the story of David.
-
As we move on, the three characters on look at
-
this morning, Marry, David and Job. They all had a song.
-
They all had ways that God was moving for them.
-
And then things changed and we see that they were consistent. Amen,
-
We're all familiar with David, the shepherd boy to the
-
victorious King.
-
Amen.
-
David's song it remained the same. So many things happened,
-
yet it remained the same. He was a man after
-
God's own heart. If there was anything that could summarize
-
David in his life from the beginning to the end,
-
he was a man after.
-
God's own heart. Truly.
-
The lyrics and the lines of his songs, we know
-
that he wrote many, many songs. There's many songs we
-
know him as a songwriter.
-
Truly. The lyrics and the lines may have suggested a
-
roller coaster.
-
Of experiences, but overall, the tune of his song remained
-
the same. He trusted in the Lord, He believed in
-
the Lord his God. He loved the Lord his God,
-
and he was dependent on the Lord his God.
-
Amen. At some point David expressed that his heart's desire
-
was to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
-
Hey man, brother Nathaniel talked.
-
He talked about the table in the presence of his
-
If anybody found themselves in the midst of persecution, apparel
-
from friends and foes alike, somebody that had the rug
-
pulled out of him time and time again, somebody that
-
had to pull the daggers out of his back time
-
and time again.
-
If there was anybody like that, it would have been David.
-
If there was anybody who could have changed his song
-
and said, maybe mercy and goodness aren't quite following me
-
every day, If there was anybody that might have had
-
a right to change the words to his song, it
-
would have been David.
-
But you know what he chose to write instead.
-
Despite everything, he goes over and he pins on twenty seven,
-
The Lord is my Light and my salvation, And whom
-
shall I fear. If there was anybody that could have
-
feared for his life, it was David. Amen, he said,
-
the Lord is the strength of my life, and whom
-
shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies
-
and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh.
-
They stumbled and fell though, and hoe shouldn't camp against me.
-
My heart shall not fear the war should rise up
-
against me. In this will I be confident? One thing
-
have I desired of the Lord? That will I seek
-
after that.
-
I may dwell in the house of the Lord all
-
the days of my life and behold the beauty of
-
the Lord, to inquire in his temple. Amen.
-
He goes on and say that the Lord will hide him,
-
that the Lord will be the rock, and he will
-
set him upon that rock.
-
Amen. Amen. If anybody had.
-
The opportunity, and it goes on to the verse that
-
the young people quoted this morning, I didn't realize that
-
that's what they'd be quoting.
-
He says.
-
When thou saidest seeking my face, my heart's said, into
-
thee thy face, Lord, will I seek. If anybody could
-
have said, Hey, things aren't going the way I plan.
-
Things aren't going the way they used to. Things, aren't
-
you know them songs that I wrote, I.
-
Don't feel like they apply now. The lyrics might have changed.
-
Amen, But his tune, the overarching zune of his song,
-
the overarching the message. If you would remain the same, Amen, David.
-
He wanted his horse's desire was to do on the
-
house lord. His horse desire we know from the scriptures
-
the passage was that he could build the tabernacle. However,
-
later on he was unable to complete that project. But
-
we see in the I don't believe I'm marked here
-
this morning. But he goes and he his son. He
-
tells his son, hey, this is what I want to do.
-
And Solomon comes and he says, hey, this was in
-
my father's heart. And despite the wars, despite the running,
-
despite the battles, despite the times he had a flee,
-
David was building up and say up and preparing for
-
that day that his heart's desire would be fulfilled.
-
Amen.
-
He kept pushing towards that. And can I say David's
-
son knew what was in his father's heart. Solomon knew
-
exactly what his father's heart's desire was this morning. So
-
if I could just real quick, I know we don't
-
have this issue, but just putting it out there in
-
the message. Parents, your children know, if the your children
-
know if your tune changes between services, Amen, children, your
-
pastor and your parents know if your tune changes between
-
Hugh's camp and you service, and can be and in revival.
-
They know if your tune is constantly changing, or if
-
your soul song is steady with the heart towards God.
-
Amen.
-
There was one of many, many reasons for David to
-
fear for his life.
-
Amen.
-
And our final person of inches this morning is Job.
-
We're all so familiar with the story of Job. Immediately
-
just it just begins. Job was a great man, a
-
righteous man, holy man, feared the Lord, love the Lord,
-
did everything he could, and all the afflictions just begin
-
to come, one after another. And so we read there
-
in chapter one. Towards the end, Job arose here in
-
his mantle, he shaved his head, he fed down upon
-
the ground, and he worshiped. Sometimes we growing up in church,
-
being in church, being around the people of God, being
-
a Christian, it's easy when things begin to go wrong, things.
-
Begin, no matter how heavy they are, no matter how
-
bad they are, a.
-
Lot of times we can encourage ourselves and say, hey,
-
I'll trust in the Lord. Hey, I believe God will
-
bring me out of this. Hey, I know God can
-
move and just do wondrous things. I know he can
-
be a God of comfort. But what is our tune
-
and what is our song? And what is our attitude
-
when we're twenty three chapters in, when the story begins
-
on a rough note and it just continues to just
-
get worse and worse, and you have people in your ear,
-
and you have maybe the spirits or the devil or
-
whatever negative influences in your ear saying hey, hey, maybe
-
you're wrong. You've done this, and you're trying to maintain
-
your integrity. What does it look like for us when
-
we're twenty three chapters in. Here's what Job said. He said, Behold,
-
I go forward. He is not there backward. I cannot
-
perceive him.
-
On the left hand, where he does work, but I
-
cannot behold him. He hideth himself.
-
On the right hand, I cannot see him, But he
-
knoweth the way that I take.
-
When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as.
-
Gold my foot. Hath held his steps his way. Have
-
I kept and not declined? Neither have I gone back
-
from the commandments of his lips. I have esteemed the
-
words of his mouth more than my necessary food. This
-
morning again, brother Nathaniel, he ex ordered on it so wonderfully,
-
test fut on so wonderfully.
-
There's so many.
-
Things even now right now, the signases all the things
-
that can encomp us about and you know and get
-
us down in different times. Way now saying that you
-
give up on God, now saying you know, but you
-
just physically you're down, just lots of things.
-
Amen.
-
But we can see from these characters that no matter
-
what comes, if it's promised promotion and position, they won't
-
change the tune of a Mary.
-
Amen. If it's prestige, power, or even persecution, they won't
-
alter the song of a David this morning. If it's peril,
-
and if it's insurmountable pressure, it will not stop the
-
worship of a job this morning. Amen.
-
And if there's anything that I can leave you with
-
this morning, life's events they might add a verse, but
-
don't let them change your chorus.
-
Your soul has a song this morning. There's something that God.
-
Your soul is a song. You were made to worship God. Amen.
-
We were made and created in His image to serve
-
Him and a love him. And every soul has a song,
-
Every soul has a story. And I pray that life's events,
-
whatever they be, if it's the highs.
-
Or the lows, I pray that all it would do
-
is just add words to a verse, but that you
-
wouldn't let anything affect your chorus of your love towards God. Amen.
-
So what is your soul's song this morning as brother
-
Jesse comes around?
-
Are you stable and consistent? Are you stable and consistent?
-
Are you some committed and committed Amen? The song that
-
was on my heart this morning as I got up,
-
Just real quick, gonna read the words.
-
This is what the song of a saint should be
-
every day, Amen.
-
No matter what comes and what goes, no matter what
-
life looks like, Page three thirty nine, Glory, Hallelujah. I
-
shall not be moved. Anchored in Jehovah, I shall not
-
be moved, just like a tree planted by the water.
-
I shall not be moved.
-
In His love abiding, I shall not be moved, and
-
in Him I'm confiding. I shall not be.
-
Moved, just like a tree planted by the water. I
-
shall not be moved though all hell where do I
-
sell me. I shall not be moved because Jesus will
-
not fail me. I shall not be moved like a
-
tree planted by the water.
-
I shall not be moved though the tempest rages.
-
I shall not be mo because I'm on the rock
-
of ages and I shall not be moved.
-
It doesn't matter what the storm looks like. It doesn't
-
matter what the attack may look like, the war. It
-
doesn't matter what the promotion and the blessing and the
-
promise may look like. May your song stay steady, because
-
your soul has a song. And one day we're gonna
-
cast those crowns at Jesus'.
-
Feet and we're gonna sing a song. Amen, We're gonna
-
sing a song. What's your so anthem gonna be? If
-
you need your soul song changed, you can change it
-
for the better. You can say I'm redeemed.
-
Amen. If your song isn't what it should be, then
-
you can get it changed this morning.
-
But if you find your tune changing ever so slightly,
-
I pray that you would call on God and ask
-
him to help you. Amen, And he can inspire you
-
and help you this morning.
-
Amen. God, bless everyone. We love you this morning and
-
the s
