Psalm 45, Ep. 21

In this episode we walk through Psalm 45, an end time chapter about Jesus' second coming and His bride. 

Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:04

Welcome to the Lafayette Prayer Room Podcast. We are located in Lafayette, Louisiana, and today we're going to go through one of our in-time study chapters, Psalm 45.

SPEAKER_01 0:14

We've actually been lingering on this chapter for a few weeks now in our end-time study course of the 150 in-time chapters. This is one of them. We wanted to kind of just bring you guys into our study, our Bible study, and our discussion, uh, the breakdown of the verses. We'll just kind of talk through it. So Psalm 45 is poetic, it is prophetic, it's deeply personal, it is devotional, it's about beauty, and it's about the kingdom of God. It's a really good chapter, which is why we wanted to share it with you guys today.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

Yeah, in Hebrews 1, 8 through 9, it gives us insight into Psalm 45 because the Hebrews scripture says that it's the Father speaking. So it gives us insight. And when you go back and you read Psalm 45 in context of thinking, this is from the mouth of the Father. It changes the way that you study it and the way that it impacts you.

SPEAKER_01 1:15

So first Jesus is coming to confront his enemies and his second coming in judgment, the seals, the trumpets, and the bowls. Then he is coming to marry his bride within Psalm 45, which is us. And we just want to say that being the queen or in this chapter or the bride has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with a position of privilege and honor. So don't think of female romanticism. It has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with honor and position and authority.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

So verse one starts out: my heart is overflowing with a good theme. I recite my composition concerning the king. My tongue is the tongue of a ready writer. So, like we said, this is the father. So it's the father's love song for Jesus. And it just hit me because the father's heart is overflowing. Like it's boiling over with love for Jesus, um, with a good theme, which is Jesus and the bride, which that that is the good theme that the father is talking about. And like just to think of the heart of God overflowing, like he's a hundred percent love, he's a hundred percent everything he does, he does totally, and it's overflowing for Jesus. And I want to look at this and meditate on it because I want my heart to overflow with a good theme, with the love for Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

It's actually the voice of the Father coming through this chapter. So that really paints it in a different light, and that he does have a heart that overflows. He is not far off, he's not stoic, he is not indifferent. His heart is a fountain of affection that is flowing like a river, it's like gushing right now over this scene, this end time scene when Jesus finally returns, gets his bride, brings judgment on his enemies. This is the moment that we're looking at, and this is how the father feels about it. Like I love that. I love that he's bringing us into his heart, and it's a very, I want to say it's a human response, but we're made like him. So this is a godly response. And I almost feel like sometimes we approach the father like just this overseer who's just kind of watching time unfold, but he's he's involved, his heart is fully at the level of interaction the whole time through. So I love that we get to see his heart uh this way.

SPEAKER_00 3:48

Yeah, another thing that um caught me when we were doing this study, or what I thought about, was so many people approach end times or don't approach it because of fear, like that's kind of a scary topic or whatever. And here the father is talking about Jesus coming in all of the end time judgments in order to marry the bride, and he's saying it's a good theme, like and it's overflowing, and he's gushing with love about it. And so I think we need to have a different paradigm when we look at end time. It's not scary, it is a beautiful thing, it's a beautiful way that Jesus shows his love for the bride, that he would come and deliver her out of all the trouble through judgment.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

It is in context to that that the father is flowing in love. It's the seals, the trumpets, and the bowls. It's not just that, but that is part of the equation, and it's not something to shy away from. And I know before I studied it, I was one of the ones that shied away from it. I did not know what to do with it uh until we really dove into the study. And I found the Lord's heart in all of it. So now I see like, oh, the father's heart is moving, and it's in all of this, it's as all these events are unfolding unto him marrying the bride. That's the goal. And you can't do that until the enemies are removed. That's part of him coming to rescue the bride. And I want the tongue of a ready writer, like the father. I look at the father and see the tongue of a ready writer means something's already moving inside of you to come out. And not only is he composed this composition about Jesus, he wants to say it out of his mouth. He wants it to come out loud. So I look at that and just think, I want to meditate on this chapter. I want to look at Jesus' second coming. I want my heart to be in agreement and all that comes with it. And I want my tongue to be the tongue of a ready writer. I want to be praying and singing and meditating, repeating phrases, journaling about it. To me, that's me having the tongue of a ready writer.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

I agree. And it's the meditating on it and the thinking on it, which gives you your own foundation of what you think Jesus is. Like you have an answer. It makes me think of Song of Solomon when the um when the daughters of Jerusalem ask her, like, well, what is your beloved more than another? And really quickly, oh, he's dazzling, he's white, he's ready. Like she has a list because she's thought about it. Like, I want it to flow out of me, the love for Jesus and why I love him. Not just because he saved me, which is paramount. I mean, I I love that he saved me, but all the other things, all of the attributes, I don't want to have thought about them so that it can flow out of me, like you were saying.

SPEAKER_01 6:39

So, verse two, you are fairer, more beautiful than the sons of man. Grace is poured upon your lips, therefore, God has blessed you forever. So you're fairer than the sons of man. In our culture, we don't really refer to kings as beautiful or fair as a leader. Uh, we talk more about power, influence, tactical genius. But the primary hook for the father is fascination of the character and the beauty of Jesus. And when we say beauty of Jesus, um, we're not talking about how he looks physically. He may be beautiful. I don't know. But we are talking about the beauty of Jesus, like who he is, seeing his heart, seeing his love, seeing his purity, that he is light, that he loves righteousness, that he hates wickedness, all the things he has done for us, we look at that, his humility, that is beautiful to us. So when we say the beauty of Jesus, part of what the Father is looking at, the beauty of Jesus, it is looking at who he is and what he does, not just physical appearance.

SPEAKER_00 7:49

Yeah, we can't shy away from it. Like we want to something that we say often in the prayer room is that we want to take the bitter and the sweet, like we want to love all of the plan, all of Jesus. And the more you look at it, the less you see bitter and you see love. But at face value, at first, it's it's hard. It's it's hard things to look at, but it is beautiful, and we want to love the entirety of Jesus, kind of like in Exodus when they had to eat the lamb, they had to eat the entire thing quickly, like they ate the entirety of the lamb. Like we're gonna eat, I mean, you know, the entirety of the word, all of it is important, and find beauty and love in all of it because it is there.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

Isaiah prophesied that the spirit would emphasize Jesus' beauty in the generation of his return. And Isaiah 33, verses uh six and then 17. The knowledge of God's beauty will be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation. Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. I feel like as we get closer to his return, beauty is being magnified, like he's just revealing himself more because that's something that's gonna really be needed as darkness increases in the earth. I have to be in love with him. That is my stability, that is my anchor. It has to be more than just uh I went to an altar and said, Yes, that's huge, but will that sustain me when everything around me is falling down? Like I want to love him with my whole heart. I want to have seen, sat, stared at the beauty of Jesus, meditated on it, no, had that list of why do you meditate on it? Because this is this is this. I've been sitting, thinking about it, getting more revelation on each little nugget of who he is. Like that's part of where I fall in love and define that as beauty because it has redefined, we're saying beauty in the context of Jesus and what we see in him. Um I'm falling in love with his character, with his plan, with his heart that's for us in what looks like a chaotic and harsh plan. But as I began to meditate on that plan, I see the wisdom of that plan, I see the love of that plan, I see the thoroughness of that plan. So as I have sat, it's become beautiful to me because I've spent time meditating on it. Whereas before, number one, it looked like too much to take in. Number two, I was half scared of it. Number three, I didn't understand it. All of the things that I just had not had given him time to work on in my heart.

SPEAKER_00 10:29

Yeah, and I mean, it is the way love works, it's the way God set it up. Like, I want somebody to love me for who I am, and Jesus deserves to be loved for the entirety of who he is as a person. You know, like he knows us in and out thoughts and loves us. That's that is how I want to reciprocate that love back to Jesus. That verse goes on to say, Grace is poured upon your lips. And I love this because every word past, present, future of Jesus is filled with grace, it's filled with tender words of love, of comfort. It gives prophetic direction. Um, he he's making intercession, he's releasing his miracles, his end-time judgments, and all of them in their entirety are filled with grace.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

No man has ever spoken words with grace like Jesus. Every word that came from him, he calmed the sea and the waves, all of it. And in that same way, he lives at the right hand of the Father to make intercession. Grace is poured upon his lips still today. So I want to emulate that. I want to pray his heart, pray his word, pray his will. And I believe there is grace on us when we pray his words.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

And we're looking at all of these attributes of Jesus and we're saying, His, you know, his um humility is beautiful, his grace is beautiful, all these different things are beautiful. Well, if I really start to see it and know it, then I can trust the man with the plan who's unfolding those end-time plans because now it's not, oh, all these harsh judgments are coming. It's my good shepherd. He's the one opening the seals, he is the one that's in control of this, and therefore I can I can be secure. That's where that foundation comes in. That's the security. It's my it's my good shepherd doing this.

SPEAKER_01 12:24

It's the civility of my times. It is, it really is. So going on to verse three, the tone shifts here. Gird your sword upon your thigh, oh mighty one, with your glory and your majesty. So the father commissions Jesus: gird your sword to destroy the Antichrist armies in the Armageddon campaign. That's what he's telling him to do. Get your sword, get ready, go and take out your enemies. And so now we see another aspect of Jesus. He is a mighty warrior king, he is coming to conquer. Because he came the first time, that triumphal entry into Jerusalem as a meek and lowly lamb to be slaughtered. He came in on the donkey. And now his second time, which we're reading about here, he's coming as a conquering king riding on a white horse as the lion of Judah to conquer. So he paved the way with that first coming, and now he's coming to bring this part of the plan to completion to cross into the next age.

SPEAKER_00 13:31

Yeah, and his first coming made it to where the father, I mean, everybody knows you can trust Jesus. Like he came, he walked it out perfectly, and he's gonna continue to. So, yes, gird your sword upon your thigh. Like you can be trusted.

SPEAKER_01 13:46

So Revelation 19 actually is a companion chapter for Psalm 45. So to just read a portion of it, because it goes with the portion that is gird your sword upon your thigh and ride on prosperously. So in Revelation 19, verse 11, now I saw heaven open and behold a white horse, and he who sat on him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes were like the flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God, and the armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses. Now out of his mouth goes a sharp sword. With it he should strike the nations, and he himself will rule them with a rod of iron, he himself will tread the wine press with fierceness of wrath of Almighty God. So that's the same episode. What we just read in Revelation 19 is exactly the episode that is happening in Psalm 45. I love through the study that we got to tie those companion chapters together because Revelation 19 pulled in different parts of that story that we didn't see here. It's more details of the royal procession that comes with him that is coming out of heaven down to earth. So it's so cool to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

SPEAKER_00 15:09

So verse four says, and in your majesty ride prosperously, because of truth, humility, and righteousness, and your right hand shall teach you awesome things. And uh most translations translate prosperously to victoriously or triumphantly, but it's like he's going to have victory. It's not gonna be for nothing. It's it's Jesus will ride out, and it will be the most victorious grandest scale imaginable ever. He's he is going to rule the whole earth.

SPEAKER_01 15:41

And he comes to rule the whole earth because of truth, humility, and righteousness. He's coming for and because of truth, humility, and righteousness. That's the goal. Like most kings have conquered because they want, you know, domination or power or territory, whatever it is, or out of revenge for a number of reasons, but he is completely opposite. He comes for humility, righteousness, and justice. Like who does that but the most meek, humble king ever?

SPEAKER_00 16:18

I mean, Matthew 5 says the meek inherit the earth, and here's Jesus, the most meek, the most humble, and he will rightfully inherit the entire earth.

SPEAKER_01 16:29

Yet his ultimate victory on the cross looked like defeat to the world. He came and flipped all the world's systems on their head, like everything was opposite. You know, we we die to self to live with Christ. I'm thinking of a song that was sing in the prayer room. Um, it's the inside, outside, upside down kingdom where we lose to gain and we die to live. It is everything opposite of how the world is.

SPEAKER_00 16:55

And when Jesus comes, he's gonna fill the entire earth with his glory, his beauty, his truth, his humility, his righteousness, like the Garden of Eden throughout all the world. That's what he's gonna come to do.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

So, verse five your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies, the peoples or nations fall under you. Jesus will easily and quickly destroy the Antichrist armies at his second coming that are attacking Israel and his church, his bride. So the peoples or nations fall or come under Jesus' leadership when he releases his end time judgments. That is the context that that happens. Sooner or later, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. And I just think Psalm 2 like be wise, bow down and kiss the sun now while there is a choice. Because there is a time, there is a time in this story unfolding when that door closes. We think of God, and He is loving, extremely merciful, more patient than any man, gives time, gives chance after chance after chance, he goes after us. But there is a time when the door closes, and this is a moment where when he comes, it's for those who have chosen him and those who have made themselves his enemies. That door is now closed for them.

SPEAKER_00 18:25

Also, I think it's important to note it will look to the natural eye like the Antichrist cannot be defeated, like his armies will be so big, they will be so powerful, they will have the world's resources really. And but what we need to remember is that it's nothing for Jesus to defeat them, like just the breath of his mouth. You know, it's or we can go into scriptures of the mountains melt like wax before the Lord. It is nothing before Jesus, so not to get balled down by what our eyes see, but to remember the truth of the word when this is coming down.

SPEAKER_01 18:59

Because there's many chapters that talk about the Antichrist and what his armies will look like at that time, the Ten Nation Confederation and all of the military strength of the nations and the money and the resource and the influence and the power at that time, they're gonna look insurmountable. So when I look at that, and then I look at with ease, Jesus comes and he just is who he is and takes them out. Then when I'm looking at circumstances in my life that look impossible, I'm like, no, he is a God with the arrows are sharp in the heart of his enemies. He knows exactly how to handle everything that needs to be handled in the way it needs to be handled. So verse six your throne, O God, is forever and ever a scepter of righteousness, is the scepter of your kingdom. After Jesus' coming, the governments of the earth will all be changed over to the godly kings that he sets in place. It's a culture shift dramatically. Uh so every empire rises and falls, like we can look at history. But Jesus' reign will be forever and ever, and he will establish righteousness. That's what he's coming to set up.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

And that is the days that we're living for. Don't get bogged down in today's circumstances. We're living for that age. Verse 7 says, You love righteousness and hate wickedness, and therefore, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions. Like this is something beautiful about Jesus. He loves righteousness, he hates wickedness, and because of this, he is anointed with gladness. In the context of this end time judgment, marrying the bride, all of those things, he is anointed with gladness. The most glad man ever.

SPEAKER_01 20:59

I love that he loves righteousness and hates wickedness, and that was a theme. I had not picked up on the degree of how much the Bible says that sprinkled throughout uh the end time chapters. We kept finding it as we would study, man, it really matters to him that righteousness be established, that wickedness be stopped. And we see it with Israel's history over and over and over again. That matters to him. So when he sets his kingdom up finally, like that's a huge he wants to come and establish what is good, what is right, what is just, and therefore good for everyone under that.

unknown 21:38

Right.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

And I think it's important that we have a biblical context of what righteousness is, because in today's day and age, we have people that are wanting to change definitions like what's right for me is not necessarily right for you. And no, it's not subjective. Like, righteousness is righteousness according to the word. So we line our Up with the word, and when we pray, we pray for righteousness in God's terms to be established. That way there's less to do when Jesus comes. Like it's already here.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Right. And in my little pocket of the world, I want as much righteousness, as much light as possible. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pray into that. As much as he'll give right now, I want to be a spot that when he comes back to the globe, we're not one of the darkest places he's got to come deal with. That we're a place of light. And it makes me even um think back years ago. I remember we were praying one one time, and I just saw a visual of like a white like stake like hitting the ground, and the ground was really dark, but light started to go out everywhere. For and I understood it. It was it was intercession as well. He was showing me like this is what you're doing where you are when you're praying these prayers over your area. We are helping to establish righteousness, his heart, his kingdom come, his will be done as much as we can until he comes. And this is actually the part where we learn it's the father talking because Hebrews 1.8, this is the part that it's actually quoting, and it says, But to the Son, he, the Father, says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore, God your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions. So this is why we even know it's the voice of the Father, because in Hebrews it quotes it and says, He says it to the Son. So that's kind of the piece of the puzzle. If you're like, how do we know that? Because it quotes it right here. And Jesus had more gladness than any man in all of history. Like his heart is filled with gladness. Uh, Psalm 16, 11, at his right hand are pleasures evermore. And we pray it often when we pray for the next generation, not just the next generation, but we pray it more for them. They're chasing after just pleasures and their counterfeit pleasures. He's the God of pleasure. At his right hand are pleasures evermore. He's the happiest, the most glad. He's anointed with gladness, like that image that we have of him holding us over hell with a rotten stick, you know, like waiting to beat us over the head when we make a mistake. That's such a lie of the enemy. He is the opposite, and we see the clear picture of who he is here, and spending time meditating on that he is anointed with the all of gladness, meditating on his happy heart. This is his disposition. Like then I start to fall in love with who he really is and not just impressions that other people have told me or that assumptions I have wrongly made. You know, the chosen help greatly with this because I feel like they really depicted Jesus so well as just loving and caring and personal and present. Um, that was definitely a gift. I feel like anointed from the Lord for our it came out while we're on the earth, you know, to really help um paint Jesus in a clearer picture. I don't know that anybody can do it perfectly, but I feel like it's the best we've seen yet. Jesus is anointed to do many great things, but at this moment, this moment in history when he is coming back to earth to deal with his enemies and to rescue his bride and to marry her, he is anointed with gladness because he's anointed to conquer, he's anointed to judge, he's also doing it with a happy heart because he knows it's the best plan and the best way, and it leads until the end goal, which is to marry a bride and to have a family, like the father wants a family. So, verse 8: all your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia out of the ivory palaces by which they have made you glad. So myrrh and cassia were used in making anointing oils. Um, and there's several places in the Bible where it talks about Jesus' garments, everything about him is love. They put off scents, like you can smell them. There's an aroma to them as well. All the senses, you know, come into play with him. He loves in every facet. Yeah, the Lord showed me many times in our sets during intercession, um, just like incense coming from the prayer room. He gives us these snapshots, these images, and I can just see it going up around Louisiana where we were praying. And you know, there's no audience there. It's not a bunch of people, it's a few of us in a room just lifting up what seems like little prayers, but from heaven's view, there's a fragrance to it that we're adding to the bowls of incense in heaven. Like, oh, that little people on earth with our little weak prayers are contributing to something that has eternal impact is huge. Like that my life can have real impact, not impress the world, but real impact that weighs into eternity is is huge. That's the honor and the privilege we're invited into.

SPEAKER_00 27:12

Yes, the dignity of man, being able to partner with God that God bestowed on us, because there's no reason that our partnership should do anything. So verse 10 says, Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear, forget your own people also in your father's house. So now the father's speaking, and he's speaking to us. Like, listen, have something to say, incline your ear. And so it's like, slow down and really think about and meditate on what I'm about to tell you. Forget your own people. I mean, the Lord's not telling you to neglect your people, neglect your family in the name of Jesus, but it's a comparison. You have to love Jesus, not just a little more, a lot more than the rest, than what's expected of you over your kids, over your parents. Jesus is number one. Um, that is what we're called to do because of the beauty and worth of Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 28:15

Yeah, for eternity, we are his eternal companion. Like, so I want to listen and incline my ear. I want to spend time meditating, thinking on, letting him reveal more about it. Like, that's part of the calling of while we sit in the prayer room to do that. Because the father said to do it, and the one with the gushing heart who knows it is wise to do this, you're gonna be glad you did this. Wisdom will be proven in the end to do this.

SPEAKER_00 28:46

Yeah, we're called to live with extravagant loyalty to Jesus, and we've touched on this before that nothing that we do is extravagant compared to the love that Jesus has. He is the extravagant one. Everything else is a correct response, but in the eyes of the world, and even me a few years ago, this would have been considered extravagant. Um, and an extravagant loyalty to Jesus, kind of like Mary of Bethany pouring out her perfume. You know, everybody was like, What a waste! Like the disciples, the church, what a waste. You could have used it for something else, and Jesus was like, Nope, this was not a waste. And so that's how our lives are supposed to be like laid down like a drink offering before the Lord.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Verse 11. We're we're kind of already into it. Uh, so the king will greatly desire your beauty because he is your Lord, worship him. The many costly decisions involved in fully obeying him are beautiful to him. Um for him, there is something that draws him to a heart that is fully his, that is abandoned to an old way of life and cling to him for real, that he just draw is drawn to that and he desires to so we we talked about us redefining beauty. For him, this is beauty. He looks at a heart fully surrendered and is like, oh, I cannot not respond to that.

SPEAKER_00 30:18

Yeah, it goes with the Song of Solomon, which I know we we touch on a bunch, but he says, you know, you've captivated my heart with one glance of your eye. We are beautiful to the Lord, and that's amazing. Verses 13 and 14: the royal daughter is all glorious within the palace. Her clothing is woven with gold, she will be brought to the king in robes of many colors. So we started on the beauty of Jesus and went into his military victory. Then the father turns and starts addressing the bride. And now, here we're looking at the wedding procession. She's gonna be brought in to her groom. And like you said before, the clothing that we wear shows love, shows whatever. Here it's gonna show like her rank, her splendor, her character. It's a bride. Every bride gets dressed. I mean, in our culture, it's a white dress, but in others it's different. But in every culture, it's something beautiful that she's um she's dressed in.

SPEAKER_01 31:18

Yeah, in today's culture, there is like um image management where everyone wants to look impressive, you know. But Jesus offers something completely different. He doesn't want us to manufacture perfection or beauty, he gives it. He gives his beauty to me through interaction, time with him, that spiritual formation that happens. He's giving his beauty to me and making me beautiful. Like he touches my heart with his love, then my heart flows in love with him. Like he gives the beauty. He's not like, okay, be beautiful for me, then I'll desire you. No, he gives me beauty, and that's beautiful in his eyes. Like I don't even have to conjure it up. So verse 16 and 17, instead of your fathers shall be your sons, whom you, meaning Jesus, shall make princes in all the earth. I, the father, will make your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore, the people shall praise you forever and ever. So instead of your fathers, meaning Moses, David, Abraham, the fathers of the faith, the father exalts Jesus who turns and raises up princes.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

And it's the Father doing it. Like we don't even have to question if this is gonna happen. His name will be praised in all the earth forever. Like the Father is gonna make sure.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

And the prayer rooms are little pockets of that now. Like it's just a place in the earth that is lifting that praise up now, that is seeing him for who he is now, that is letting him transform me into something that is beautiful to him and that he desires now. As much as he'll give us on this side of eternity, we want to be that in there. So Psalm 45 is about a king, it is about Jesus who is beautiful and powerful, and he's fully in love with the bride, with us. And Psalm 45 describes realities that are both present and future. Jesus reigns now, and we are waiting for his full reign to come into fruition. So we as the bride, we belong to him now, but we will be married to him one day. So we live in the tension of being so grateful for today and fully taking advantage of all he has for us, but longing for the day when we're fully his.

SPEAKER_00 33:41

Yeah, so when you're walking through grief or disappointment or unanswered prayer, we can remember Psalm 45. And like our circumstances today are not the end. We're looking for that day, for that wedding. You know, that's eternal. That's what's gonna last. Like most of our problems within five or ten years won't be remembered. This is eternal, Solomon, the heart rooted in this paradigm with my king.

SPEAKER_01 34:07

Yeah, and it makes me think of a course we sing in the prayer room uh where we sing that time is going in a straight line. It'll never come around again to this time. Time is going in a straight line, it'll never come around again to this time. So I want to make the most of today to love him, today to be praising him, today to be establishing stability in my spiritual life and in those around me that God puts in my path.
