  1. Certainly thankful to be in God's house this morning. Amen,

  2. you can be turned into Luke chapter one, and then

  3. we're also going to look into Job chapter one. Certainly

  4. thankful for the opportunity this morning to preach. Certainly would

  5. have rather heard our pastor being away for so long,

  6. being on our trip. Just really missed being in service,

  7. and I was really looking forward to coming into Sunday service.

  8. I was praying last night, praying over the weekend, just

  9. really looking forward to coming in hearing and preach. But

  10. believe in God to help him recover soon. Amen, Luke

  11. chapter one, and then we'll look over in Job chapter

  12. one as well. Luke Chapter one, Verse forty six says,

  13. and Mary said, my soul doth magnify the Lord, and

  14. my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Savior, for he

  15. hath regarded the lowest state of his handmade for behold.

  16. From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed, for He

  17. that is mighty hath done to me great things, and

  18. holy is his name. Real quick while you're flipping over

  19. to Job chapter one, Psalm twenty three and six says,

  20. surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days

  21. of my life, and I will dwell in the house

  22. of the Lord forever.

  23. Job chapter one.

  24. We're gonna look at the last two verses there, verses

  25. twenty one and twenty two. Actually this beginning verse twenty.

  26. Then Job arose and rent his mantle, and shaved his head,

  27. and fell down upon the ground and worshiped, and said, naked,

  28. came I out of my mother's womb, And naked shall

  29. I return thither the Lord gave, and the Lord have

  30. taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. In

  31. all this Job sin not nor charge God foolishly. Hopefully

  32. the Lord help us tie this in together here this morning.

  33. If you all pray, Lord, we ask for your hell.

  34. Dear God. Lord, we thank you for your presence we've

  35. already felt. Lord.

  36. We thank you for your spirit that has been made manifest.

  37. God here today, Lord, we pray that you go with us.

  38. Lord that Lord we say something this morning that'll touch

  39. a heart, touch your soul. Help us God and me

  40. with us and these altars. God, Lord, for that's what

  41. it's all about. Touch our pastor right now. We pray

  42. be with them and his wife God, all those that

  43. are out this morning. God will give you the praise,

  44. the honor, and the glory here this morning.

  45. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

  46. How many there's two different sayings they they saund almost

  47. the same. There's two different sayings. How many have you

  48. ever heard somebody say, check your check your tone, or

  49. change your tone. I've heard that several times growing up,

  50. watch your tone. But how many people have also heard

  51. this saying? Speaking normally you're speaking about somebody else. You're

  52. saying they changed their tune, the way that their outlook

  53. on something, the way they thought about something. We would

  54. say they changed their tune. So I want you to

  55. keep those two, those two sayings in your mind this morning.

  56. If the Lord had help me, I want to preach

  57. on your soul has a song, Amen, Your soul has

  58. a song.

  59. So we're gonna begin here in luke Luke.

  60. We're all familiar with coming out of this Christmas season.

  61. I'm sure we all read the read the account maybe

  62. several times throughout the month of December, and a familiar

  63. character we saw there was Mary, right, we we call

  64. her the Virgin Mary. All that's what she was at

  65. the beginning. Amen, We're all very familiar with the character

  66. of Mary, and oftentimes around this time of the year,

  67. the December time of the year, we talk about the

  68. character and the manner of life and the person that

  69. Mary was, who she would have been for God to

  70. trust her with Carrie and the Son of God, Emmanuel,

  71. God himself. Amen, we would all agree that she was

  72. a woman of God, a God fearing woman, a holy

  73. woman for God to entrust her in this way. However,

  74. a lot of times we don't really go beyond that

  75. too much. We talk for before God moved and when

  76. God's promise came to fruition, but we don't talk about

  77. how she might have lived after that. And Psalm forty six,

  78. it begins something called My Bible titles it Mary's joyful song.

  79. Your Bible probably says it's Mary's song. This is a

  80. song I believe She went to her to go see Elizabeth,

  81. and she's talking to Elizabeth, and Elizabeth rejoices, the baby

  82. leaps in her womb, and then Mary.

  83. Begins to sing this song, if you would. And some

  84. points in this song of hers, she begins in forty

  85. six and forty seven that we've read she has a

  86. heart of worship, and then in verse.

  87. Forty eight she expresses her humility. She expresses, behold the

  88. handmaid of the Lord. And this is something that we

  89. also saw when the Angel came to her. She expresses

  90. her humility towards God. And then in verse forty nine,

  91. the part and the song goes on some more, but

  92. in forty nine where we stopped, it talks about it

  93. reflects on God's might and his power.

  94. Amen.

  95. Now, I truly believe that this song in Mary's heart,

  96. this song in Mary's soul, that it was a song

  97. that she carried since she was a little girl.

  98. Amen.

  99. I believe, I truly believe that this is something that

  100. her parents instilled in her. And we would all agree

  101. the character of Mary, that this song is something that

  102. it's the tune, the overarching tune of her life and

  103. her heart, her true heart's belief towards.

  104. God since she was a little girl. Amen.

  105. But when she gets older, and what does it look

  106. like after the promise has come into fruition, after the

  107. blessing has been given, after she's received a place of promotion,

  108. if you would, what does her life look like at

  109. that point?

  110. Amen? If we flip over, if we flip over into

  111. John chapter two, there's a very familiar account where Jesus

  112. and Mary they're at a wedding together and the wine

  113. runs out, and Mary goes to him and she says,

  114. in my words, she says, Jesus, they're out of wine.

  115. We need you to do something.

  116. And Jesus is like, well, it's not my time, it's

  117. not my hour. I'm not you know, to do these

  118. things yet. But Mary goes to the servants and she says,

  119. whatsoever he saith.

  120. Under you do it. Mary's song did not change despite

  121. her promotion. Amen. Mary's song did not change despite her promise.

  122. In fact, she goes and she continues to tell people, Hey,

  123. whatever he says to you, be obedient to it. Whatever,

  124. submit yourself to him, and do all that he tells

  125. you to do, and you'll receive the blessing.

  126. Amen.

  127. How many people though that after they come to church

  128. and they pray, and they pray, and a man of God,

  129. a minister will come and they'll lay hands on them,

  130. they'll give them a promise they'll receive a word from

  131. the Lord. Sometimes they'll stick around to that promise comes

  132. into fruition. But how many people we see that when

  133. God moves for them, instead.

  134. Of remaining humble like Mary?

  135. Did they turn around and they think that there's somebody

  136. and they walk out.

  137. Amen.

  138. How many times that you see them really seek for

  139. something and God blesses them and then their prayer life changes,

  140. their church attendance changes.

  141. Amen. And it comes so shortly after receiving the promise

  142. or a blessing from the Lord. Amen. So how is

  143. that for you personally? How is that for me? What

  144. is my soul's song, the song that my soul sings,

  145. the anthem, my prayer, my belief, my knowledge towards God?

  146. What does that look like? Is it? Is it steady? Amen?

  147. Is it steady? Married?

  148. And change her tune towards Jesus. She was so excited

  149. there at the beginning. You know, we get so excited.

  150. Oh God spoke to me. God told me something. God

  151. promised me something. But does our two change a little

  152. bit up the road when we received it. Now we

  153. think we're somebody and now say, you know, we receive salvation.

  154. The preacher says, hey, in order to keep your salvation,

  155. you better do this, and we say, oh no, it's mine.

  156. I prayed for that, I got that. Now my tune

  157. is changing. I don't want to be that kind of

  158. person here this morning. Amen, hallelujah.

  159. We're all familiar with the story of David.

  160. As we move on, the three characters on look at

  161. this morning, Marry, David and Job. They all had a song.

  162. They all had ways that God was moving for them.

  163. And then things changed and we see that they were consistent. Amen,

  164. We're all familiar with David, the shepherd boy to the

  165. victorious King.

  166. Amen.

  167. David's song it remained the same. So many things happened,

  168. yet it remained the same. He was a man after

  169. God's own heart. If there was anything that could summarize

  170. David in his life from the beginning to the end,

  171. he was a man after.

  172. God's own heart. Truly.

  173. The lyrics and the lines of his songs, we know

  174. that he wrote many, many songs. There's many songs we

  175. know him as a songwriter.

  176. Truly. The lyrics and the lines may have suggested a

  177. roller coaster.

  178. Of experiences, but overall, the tune of his song remained

  179. the same. He trusted in the Lord, He believed in

  180. the Lord his God. He loved the Lord his God,

  181. and he was dependent on the Lord his God.

  182. Amen. At some point David expressed that his heart's desire

  183. was to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

  184. Hey man, brother Nathaniel talked.

  185. He talked about the table in the presence of his

  186. If anybody found themselves in the midst of persecution, apparel

  187. from friends and foes alike, somebody that had the rug

  188. pulled out of him time and time again, somebody that

  189. had to pull the daggers out of his back time

  190. and time again.

  191. If there was anybody like that, it would have been David.

  192. If there was anybody who could have changed his song

  193. and said, maybe mercy and goodness aren't quite following me

  194. every day, If there was anybody that might have had

  195. a right to change the words to his song, it

  196. would have been David.

  197. But you know what he chose to write instead.

  198. Despite everything, he goes over and he pins on twenty seven,

  199. The Lord is my Light and my salvation, And whom

  200. shall I fear. If there was anybody that could have

  201. feared for his life, it was David. Amen, he said,

  202. the Lord is the strength of my life, and whom

  203. shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies

  204. and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh.

  205. They stumbled and fell though, and hoe shouldn't camp against me.

  206. My heart shall not fear the war should rise up

  207. against me. In this will I be confident? One thing

  208. have I desired of the Lord? That will I seek

  209. after that.

  210. I may dwell in the house of the Lord all

  211. the days of my life and behold the beauty of

  212. the Lord, to inquire in his temple. Amen.

  213. He goes on and say that the Lord will hide him,

  214. that the Lord will be the rock, and he will

  215. set him upon that rock.

  216. Amen. Amen. If anybody had.

  217. The opportunity, and it goes on to the verse that

  218. the young people quoted this morning, I didn't realize that

  219. that's what they'd be quoting.

  220. He says.

  221. When thou saidest seeking my face, my heart's said, into

  222. thee thy face, Lord, will I seek. If anybody could

  223. have said, Hey, things aren't going the way I plan.

  224. Things aren't going the way they used to. Things, aren't

  225. you know them songs that I wrote, I.

  226. Don't feel like they apply now. The lyrics might have changed.

  227. Amen, But his tune, the overarching zune of his song,

  228. the overarching the message. If you would remain the same, Amen, David.

  229. He wanted his horse's desire was to do on the

  230. house lord. His horse desire we know from the scriptures

  231. the passage was that he could build the tabernacle. However,

  232. later on he was unable to complete that project. But

  233. we see in the I don't believe I'm marked here

  234. this morning. But he goes and he his son. He

  235. tells his son, hey, this is what I want to do.

  236. And Solomon comes and he says, hey, this was in

  237. my father's heart. And despite the wars, despite the running,

  238. despite the battles, despite the times he had a flee,

  239. David was building up and say up and preparing for

  240. that day that his heart's desire would be fulfilled.

  241. Amen.

  242. He kept pushing towards that. And can I say David's

  243. son knew what was in his father's heart. Solomon knew

  244. exactly what his father's heart's desire was this morning. So

  245. if I could just real quick, I know we don't

  246. have this issue, but just putting it out there in

  247. the message. Parents, your children know, if the your children

  248. know if your tune changes between services, Amen, children, your

  249. pastor and your parents know if your tune changes between

  250. Hugh's camp and you service, and can be and in revival.

  251. They know if your tune is constantly changing, or if

  252. your soul song is steady with the heart towards God.

  253. Amen.

  254. There was one of many, many reasons for David to

  255. fear for his life.

  256. Amen.

  257. And our final person of inches this morning is Job.

  258. We're all so familiar with the story of Job. Immediately

  259. just it just begins. Job was a great man, a

  260. righteous man, holy man, feared the Lord, love the Lord,

  261. did everything he could, and all the afflictions just begin

  262. to come, one after another. And so we read there

  263. in chapter one. Towards the end, Job arose here in

  264. his mantle, he shaved his head, he fed down upon

  265. the ground, and he worshiped. Sometimes we growing up in church,

  266. being in church, being around the people of God, being

  267. a Christian, it's easy when things begin to go wrong, things.

  268. Begin, no matter how heavy they are, no matter how

  269. bad they are, a.

  270. Lot of times we can encourage ourselves and say, hey,

  271. I'll trust in the Lord. Hey, I believe God will

  272. bring me out of this. Hey, I know God can

  273. move and just do wondrous things. I know he can

  274. be a God of comfort. But what is our tune

  275. and what is our song? And what is our attitude

  276. when we're twenty three chapters in, when the story begins

  277. on a rough note and it just continues to just

  278. get worse and worse, and you have people in your ear,

  279. and you have maybe the spirits or the devil or

  280. whatever negative influences in your ear saying hey, hey, maybe

  281. you're wrong. You've done this, and you're trying to maintain

  282. your integrity. What does it look like for us when

  283. we're twenty three chapters in. Here's what Job said. He said, Behold,

  284. I go forward. He is not there backward. I cannot

  285. perceive him.

  286. On the left hand, where he does work, but I

  287. cannot behold him. He hideth himself.

  288. On the right hand, I cannot see him, But he

  289. knoweth the way that I take.

  290. When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as.

  291. Gold my foot. Hath held his steps his way. Have

  292. I kept and not declined? Neither have I gone back

  293. from the commandments of his lips. I have esteemed the

  294. words of his mouth more than my necessary food. This

  295. morning again, brother Nathaniel, he ex ordered on it so wonderfully,

  296. test fut on so wonderfully.

  297. There's so many.

  298. Things even now right now, the signases all the things

  299. that can encomp us about and you know and get

  300. us down in different times. Way now saying that you

  301. give up on God, now saying you know, but you

  302. just physically you're down, just lots of things.

  303. Amen.

  304. But we can see from these characters that no matter

  305. what comes, if it's promised promotion and position, they won't

  306. change the tune of a Mary.

  307. Amen. If it's prestige, power, or even persecution, they won't

  308. alter the song of a David this morning. If it's peril,

  309. and if it's insurmountable pressure, it will not stop the

  310. worship of a job this morning. Amen.

  311. And if there's anything that I can leave you with

  312. this morning, life's events they might add a verse, but

  313. don't let them change your chorus.

  314. Your soul has a song this morning. There's something that God.

  315. Your soul is a song. You were made to worship God. Amen.

  316. We were made and created in His image to serve

  317. Him and a love him. And every soul has a song,

  318. Every soul has a story. And I pray that life's events,

  319. whatever they be, if it's the highs.

  320. Or the lows, I pray that all it would do

  321. is just add words to a verse, but that you

  322. wouldn't let anything affect your chorus of your love towards God. Amen.

  323. So what is your soul's song this morning as brother

  324. Jesse comes around?

  325. Are you stable and consistent? Are you stable and consistent?

  326. Are you some committed and committed Amen? The song that

  327. was on my heart this morning as I got up,

  328. Just real quick, gonna read the words.

  329. This is what the song of a saint should be

  330. every day, Amen.

  331. No matter what comes and what goes, no matter what

  332. life looks like, Page three thirty nine, Glory, Hallelujah. I

  333. shall not be moved. Anchored in Jehovah, I shall not

  334. be moved, just like a tree planted by the water.

  335. I shall not be moved.

  336. In His love abiding, I shall not be moved, and

  337. in Him I'm confiding. I shall not be.

  338. Moved, just like a tree planted by the water. I

  339. shall not be moved though all hell where do I

  340. sell me. I shall not be moved because Jesus will

  341. not fail me. I shall not be moved like a

  342. tree planted by the water.

  343. I shall not be moved though the tempest rages.

  344. I shall not be mo because I'm on the rock

  345. of ages and I shall not be moved.

  346. It doesn't matter what the storm looks like. It doesn't

  347. matter what the attack may look like, the war. It

  348. doesn't matter what the promotion and the blessing and the

  349. promise may look like. May your song stay steady, because

  350. your soul has a song. And one day we're gonna

  351. cast those crowns at Jesus'.

  352. Feet and we're gonna sing a song. Amen, We're gonna

  353. sing a song. What's your so anthem gonna be? If

  354. you need your soul song changed, you can change it

  355. for the better. You can say I'm redeemed.

  356. Amen. If your song isn't what it should be, then

  357. you can get it changed this morning.

  358. But if you find your tune changing ever so slightly,

  359. I pray that you would call on God and ask

  360. him to help you. Amen, And he can inspire you

  361. and help you this morning.

  362. Amen. God, bless everyone. We love you this morning and

  363. the s
