God is a God of order and of of truth and goodness and we don't see that in our world around us because of our fallen nature and it's been demonstrated in so many different ways throughout all the things that we've been going through personally and in our occupations and and in many ways and the effort of that or the outcome of that is it can destroy our fellowship and as believers we have verses like this to say your word is a lamp to my feet this is something that we can hold on to it's a promise of hope of peace with the

01:32

Lord and and also while we're on that path as he's guiding us through the darkness of this world we have the assurance that we're going to have the light of Christ in us to brighten that path that that path is is as rough as it is um and as challenging as we have the word to hold on to and we have

10:06

God speak with us lest we die and Moses said to the people do not fear for God has come to test you and that his fear may be before you so that you may not sin so the people stood afar off but Moses drew near the thick darkness where God was then the

10:25
