Hello, Oak Ridge family and friends. This is
-
David here with the Lewis family today, and we're
-
going to share some scripture. But before we
-
do that, I wanted to let them share a little
-
bit about what points them to Christ during this
-
holiday season. I'm just happy I'm going to be
-
able to have some of my kids come through and
-
visit us. So that's what I'm looking forward
-
to towards the end of December. My daughter should
-
be here, and my son will be here. So I'm very
-
happy about that. I can't wait to see all of
-
us together. Yeah, for me, it's kind of along
-
the same line. I love having grandbabies here.
-
Everyone talks about how they skip children and
-
go straight to grandbabies, and that's true for
-
me. Well, not that I'm skipping, but I really,
-
really enjoy themself. Just sharing the Lord
-
with them and seeing them begin to realize who
-
he is. That is, I think, the best thing in the
-
world. I love it. So pass my soul for you, O
-
God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living
-
God. When shall I come and appear before you,
-
God? My tears have been my food day and night,
-
while they continually say to me, Where is your
-
God? When I remember these things, I pour out
-
my soul within me. For I used to go with the
-
multitude. I went with them to the house of the
-
God, where the voice of the joy and praise, with
-
the multitude that can't be compared with which
-
speaks. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And
-
why are you disquieted within me? Open, God,
-
for I should yet praise him for the hope of his
-
continence. Oh, my God, my soul is cast down
-
within me. Therefore, I will remember you from
-
the land of Jordan, and from the heights of Hermon,
-
and from the hill Nezari. Deep calls above deep
-
echo the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves
-
and billows have gone over me. The Lord will
-
command his loving kindness in the daytime, and
-
in the night his soul shall be with me. A prayer
-
to the God of my life. I will say to God my rock,
-
why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning
-
before because of the opposition of the enemy?
-
As with the breaking of my bones, my enemies
-
reproach me. While they say to me all day long,
-
where is your God? Why are you so cast down on
-
my soul? And why are you disquieted within me,
-
hoping God? for I shall yet praise Him, the help
-
of my confidence in my God. Yet more and more
-
people believed and were brought to the Lord.
-
Crowds of both men and women, as a result of
-
their false report, sick people were brought
-
out into the streets and on beds and masks, so
-
that Peter's shadow might fall across some of
-
them as he went by. Crowds came from the villages
-
around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those
-
possessed by evil spirits, and they were all
-
healed.
