Jerry closes out the weekend by reading Psalm 139. He points out that God still talked to David and calls him a man after His own heart despite the fact that he killed a man. He shares about the miracle that occurred when he was healed because of the effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous, the believers, on his behalf while he was unconscious. We are told that God’s thoughts towards us are more in number than the sand in the sea and are precious; our thoughts of ourselves and others should be this way too because every individual in the Body of Christ is intricate and important. Lastly, Jerry sings “For You I Will Live”.
