- You're going through. and i just want to show you that in the bible, the bible
- 00:02:46.842 --> 00:02:48.310
- And i just want to show you that in the bible, the bible talks a lot about night sins,
- 00:02:48.377 --> 00:02:52.881
- That in the bible, the bible talks a lot about night sins, night events, night seasons.
- 00:02:52.948 --> 00:02:58.654
- In psalms 16, the bible tells us
- 00:02:58.720 --> 00:03:02.157
- In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says, "i'll bless the lord
- 00:03:02.224 --> 00:03:03.892
- In psalms 16, the bible tells us david says, "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel;
- 00:03:03.959 --> 00:03:05.761
- David says, "i'll bless the lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me
- 00:03:05.827 --> 00:03:08.397
- Who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons."
- 00:03:08.463 --> 00:03:10.666
- My heart also instructs me in the night seasons." so david even went
- 00:03:10.732 --> 00:03:11.566
- In the night seasons." so david even went through a night season.
- 00:03:11.633 --> 00:03:13.168
- So david even went through a night season. and during the night season,
- 00:03:13.235 --> 00:03:14.036
- Through a night season. and during the night season, the bible says this.
- 00:03:14.102 --> 00:03:14.970
- And during the night season, the bible says this. y'all know this.
- 00:03:15.037 --> 00:03:16.004
- The bible says this. y'all know this. joy cometh in the morning,
- 00:03:16.071 --> 00:03:17.105
- Y'all know this. joy cometh in the morning, right?
- 00:03:17.172 --> 00:03:17.973
- Joy cometh in the morning, right? but before that,
- 00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:18.507
- Right? but before that, what does it say?
- 00:03:18.573 --> 00:03:19.274
- But before that, what does it say? weeping may endure for a night.
- 00:03:19.341 --> 00:03:20.976
- What does it say? weeping may endure for a night. weeping may endure for a night.
- 00:03:21.043 --> 00:03:23.679
- Weeping may endure for a night. weeping may endure for a night. it lasts only--
- 00:03:23.745 --> 00:03:24.913
- Weeping may endure for a night. it lasts only-- it endures only for a night.
- 00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:26.815
- It lasts only-- it endures only for a night. so in the night season, it's
- 00:03:26.882 --> 00:03:28.150
- It endures only for a night. so in the night season, it's a season of trial, it's a season
- 00:03:28.216 --> 00:03:29.885
- So in the night season, it's a season of trial, it's a season where you are weeping,
- 00:03:29.951 --> 00:03:31.953
- A season of trial, it's a season where you are weeping, where it's not pleasant,
- 00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:33.722
- Where you are weeping, where it's not pleasant, you're wondering
- 00:03:33.789 --> 00:03:34.222
- Where it's not pleasant, you're wondering what's going on,
- 00:03:34.289 --> 00:03:35.924
- You're wondering what's going on, but god says morning is coming.
- 00:03:35.991 --> 00:03:38.593
