[4463.66 --> 4464.28] that takes like
[4464.28 --> 4464.70] eight minutes
[4464.70 --> 4465.32] to walk up
[4465.32 --> 4466.52] in 250 steps
[4466.52 --> 4466.96] or something.
[4468.40 --> 4469.84] And now that I'm back here,
[4470.34 --> 4472.04] I find myself saying,
[4472.34 --> 4473.80] look at the mountains.
[4476.80 --> 4477.78] The mountains
[4477.78 --> 4481.22] are awe-inspiring to me.
[4481.44 --> 4484.48] that's God's presence here.
[4486.40 --> 4487.34] Maybe for you,
[4487.40 --> 4487.88] it's a hike
[4487.88 --> 4488.90] or a drive
[4488.90 --> 4489.68] or a waterfall
[4489.68 --> 4490.84] or an ocean
[4490.84 --> 4493.02] or a fishing trip
[4493.02 --> 4494.00] or a hammock
[4494.00 --> 4494.50] in the woods.
[4495.64 --> 4497.62] But where's your awe moment?
[4500.72 --> 4502.26] Where does the magnitude
[4502.26 --> 4505.14] of God capture you?
[4505.14 --> 4508.14] Sometimes the magnitude
[4508.14 --> 4510.10] of God's creation
[4510.10 --> 4511.24] can help reorient
[4511.24 --> 4512.26] our bad attitudes
[4512.26 --> 4513.50] towards that same creation
[4513.50 --> 4514.56] that we find ourselves in.
[4520.48 --> 4522.52] God is with us.
[4523.10 --> 4524.10] God is with you
[4524.10 --> 4525.62] in your joys,
[4525.84 --> 4526.10] yes,
[4526.60 --> 4527.98] in your sorrows
[4527.98 --> 4528.60] and suffering,
[4528.98 --> 4529.32] yes,
[4529.66 --> 4530.02] too.
[4531.14 --> 4532.26] God is with you
[4532.26 --> 4532.98] through His church,
[4532.98 --> 4533.60] even if we're
[4533.60 --> 4534.46] a broken people.
[4535.38 --> 4536.78] Are we leaning in?
[4537.58 --> 4538.54] Are we leaning in
[4538.54 --> 4539.62] to the presence of God?
[4540.50 --> 4541.56] Because He's there.
[4542.98 --> 4545.26] You are not alone.
[4546.42 --> 4548.72] God is with you.
[4549.84 --> 4550.12] Amen.
[4550.74 --> 4551.26] Let me pray.
[4551.94 --> 4552.46] Amen.
[4554.52 --> 4555.60] Father in heaven,
[4555.60 --> 4558.66] we know that you are
[4558.66 --> 4560.06] the creator of all things
[4560.06 --> 4560.88] and you are present
[4560.88 --> 4561.86] in our lives.
[4562.38 --> 4563.00] This story,
[4563.12 --> 4563.66] your word,
[4563.78 --> 4564.30] teaches us
[4564.30 --> 4565.78] that you are with us always,
[4566.16 --> 4567.82] even in our suffering.
[4568.50 --> 4568.74] God,
[4568.80 --> 4569.74] sometimes it's easy
[4569.74 --> 4570.80] to know that you are with us
[4570.80 --> 4571.44] when things are good,
[4571.76 --> 4572.30] but man,
[4572.36 --> 4573.08] can it be hard
[4573.08 --> 4574.54] to feel your presence
[4574.54 --> 4575.78] or to know that you are there
[4575.78 --> 4576.56] when we are suffering.
[4577.58 --> 4577.92] God,
[4577.98 --> 4578.56] we pray that
[4578.56 --> 4580.10] in our darkest times,
[4580.56 --> 4582.94] we will choose
[4582.94 --> 4583.64] our suffering,
[4583.64 --> 4586.18] knowing that it points us to you,
[4586.26 --> 4587.04] that we will lean
[4587.04 --> 4588.32] into your presence,
[4588.82 --> 4589.90] the one who suffered
[4589.90 --> 4591.08] greatly.
[4592.10 --> 4592.58] And Lord,
[4593.38 --> 4594.06] as we,
[4594.18 --> 4594.68] the church,
[4594.98 --> 4595.64] both suffer
[4595.64 --> 4596.72] and walk alongside
[4596.72 --> 4597.68] others who suffer,
[4597.82 --> 4598.00] Lord,
[4598.82 --> 4599.68] may we be willing
[4599.68 --> 4600.62] to be present
[4600.62 --> 4602.12] and be your presence
[4602.12 --> 4602.76] in the midst
[4602.76 --> 4604.36] of our brothers and sisters
[4604.36 --> 4604.98] who are going through
[4604.98 --> 4605.50] hard times.
[4605.88 --> 4607.86] May we take steps of faith.
[4608.08 --> 4610.12] May we be your hands
[4610.12 --> 4610.56] and feet
[4610.56 --> 4611.30] in this community.
[4611.84 --> 4613.00] May we do no harm,
[4613.00 --> 4613.96] but do good,
[4614.08 --> 4615.14] not for our glory,
[4615.38 --> 4616.30] but for your glory.
