  Today's verse, Psalms 33 verse 9. It says,
• 0:13
  For he spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast.
• 0:18
  Creation is the original amazing work of God. Denying that God created everything is not even the original act of rebellion.
• 0:26
  In present day, it seems few who believe in his existence would separate it from his act of creation.
• 0:31
  Everybody sees God as the creator God. If they believe in God, the real God, the true God.
• 0:37
  More, many more rebel against him like the devil, knowing God exists and created.
• 0:44
  They believe, yeah, he's there and I believe he created everything.
• 0:47
  But they question God's goodness. So they go their own way, do their own thing, go after what they want outside God's moral law.
• 0:54
  That's all it takes to be eternally bound to hell. But of course, it is also to be utterly and completely wrong.
• 1:01
  If Jesus were to come again, when he comes again and he asks people to come with him, if you don't believe that God is good,
• 1:06
  if you don't believe that what he has in store for you is good, why would you go? Why would you get in a van with an axe murderer?
• 1:12
  Why would you chase after a rabid dog that might bite you?
• 1:15
  No, if you don't believe that God is good, then it makes perfect sense that you're not following him.
• 1:19
  But if you do believe and understand that God is good, then you know that you should follow him every moment of every day.
• 1:24
  And when he comes, be ready to go with him where he will take you to the place that he has prepared for you.
• 1:29
  God spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast. Our God is good.
• 1:35
  I know you might be going through some difficulties, but know that God loves you and he's going to work it out for your good in the end.
• 1:41
  Love him and be called according to your purpose and you can claim that promise from Romans 8.
• 1:45
  God bless you as you endure whatever it is that you're going through today, hopefully encouraged. Amen.
