Too Many to Count Psalm 40:5 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of Psalm 40, verse 5. It says,
• 0:05
  That very first part of prayer, that very first
• 0:25
  part of a relationship with God, I know fear
• 0:27
  of the Lord is the beginning. of knowledge or
• 0:30
  the beginning of wisdom, as Job would say, fear
• 0:32
  of the Lord is wisdom. But that very first moment
• 0:34
  that you realize that the wonders of God, the
• 0:37
  thoughts of God toward mankind, they must be
• 0:40
  just too much, too much to list, too many things
• 0:42
  to think of. The amazing creation as you sit
• 0:46
  in the park and watch a billion leaves blow in
• 0:49
  a gentle breeze. Think about the blades of grass.
• 0:52
  Think about the colonies, the billions of colonies,
• 0:55
  trillions, I don't know, infinite number perhaps.
• 0:58
  definitely not infinite, but an unbelievably
• 1:00
  large number of colonies of ants at work all
• 1:03
  day long throughout the summer. Lord, the birds
• 1:07
  that soar, the stars that shine, the sun that
• 1:10
  warms the skin. We are unbelievably blessed.
• 1:15
  If we should declare and speak of the great things
• 1:17
  that the Lord has done, the great thoughts that
• 1:20
  he has had toward us to love us so much to send
• 1:22
  his own son, oh, my goodness, the list would
• 1:26
  go on and on. It certainly wouldn't fit in an
• 1:29
  encouragement call. Be encouraged today. God
• 1:31
  loves you and has amazing thoughts towards you.
• 1:34
  And he has orchestrated incredible events for
• 1:37
  your life. Even in the midst of the darkest hour,
• 1:39
  God is doing wonderful things. Plug into your
• 1:43
  local church. Spend some time with believers.
• 1:45
  Worship the Lord. God bless you today.
