[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, but beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you're excited today because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We will be blessed, we will be happy, we'll be joyous. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice of praise. Praise him and thank him and be joyful. I was talking to a buddy last night and we had kind of talked a little bit about praying. And, you know, I always think about when I pray and how long.
[00:00:37] When you pray, you just never know. It's always on God's timing and it always works out. All things work together for good to those that love God and those that are called according to his purpose. So regardless of what happens, all things work together for good to those that love him. And then on top of that, the word never comes back. Void when you hear the word. And no matter what type, whatever is going on, it will always cause effect in a good way.
[00:01:04] So anyways, about that prayer. I was thinking. It immediately made me think about how there's a time for everything under heaven. I want to go over that today. If you go to Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, verse 1, it says, to everything there is an appointed time or a season, and an appointed time to every purpose, and that's every pleasure or desired thing that's under heaven. There's a time to be born, and there's a time to die. There's a time to plant and there's a time to pluck up that which is planted. It's always on God's timing. There's a time in life for everything. There's a season in life for everything. And you can't change that time.
[00:01:40] It's all on God's time. I mean, you cannot plant. If you have a garden, you'll understand this. There are certain times you can't plant, period. It's too wet, it's too dry. It's, you know, it's not the right season.
[00:01:53] God sets the appointed time. There's a time to kill, and this is judicially kill. And there's a time to heal. There's a time to break down and a time to build up. There's a time to weep and a time to laugh. And it kind of goes through this. And if you jump down to verse 10, it says, I have seen the travail. And this is the business or which is which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made everything beautiful in his time in its proper season. Also, he hath set the world or put the world in their heart so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
[00:02:31] He's made everything beautiful in his time. And there's no. There's also a verse in here somewhere. You can't make crooked or you can't make straight what God's made crooked.
[00:02:41] You can't do it. God. It's on God's timing. God is above. He knows what's best for you, too. Sometimes you might think something. I mean, I can't get over the fact that when I was younger, the wants and the needs that I thought I needed and wanted and had to have and what I would need to achieve in order to feel good about myself. And, you know, 20 years later, it's like, man, I just want to enjoy life. Man, I want to enjoy life. I want to enjoy being what. What's out there to eat and drink. I want to enjoy the good of my labor. And it talks about all this in the Word. And that's why, again, the wisdom of God and the knowledge of God. When you read this stuff, especially in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, it will reshift and refocus your mind on what's important. And then you go through the experiences of life and whoop, you know, you kind of wake up. But anyways, he hath made everything beautiful in his time, verse 12. I know that there is no good in them and all of God's works, but for a man to rejoice and do good in his life, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.
[00:03:49] For those of you that work and are just trying to achieve. It's like that silver. I think it's like, you know, you. You know, I just read that verse 10 of chapter 5. He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase. You're never going to be satisfied in the thing you're trying to achieve, because once you achieve it, you're going to want more of it. If you love something, you're going to want more of it. It's about enjoying what you're working for. It's about spending. Like, what are you. Why. Why do you do all this? What's the purpose of your life?
[00:04:24] Why Are you working so hard? Why are you trying to achieve? Is it to spend more time with your family? Is it to get financial? I mean, there's so many different variables or what you could be looking for in life, but you got to enjoy your life. There is nothing better. There's no good. There's nothing better in life than to enjoy the good of your labor and to enjoy what you're eating and drinking.
[00:04:45] Verse 14. I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever. Nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it. And God doeth it that men should fear or have reverential awe before him.
[00:05:00] It's about having reverence towards God. And you can't take anything away that God. You think you're going to take something from God, no way. He gives you a life to live.
[00:05:11] You can live this life in all of its manifestations and everything, everything is made visible when you start to look to God and start, you know, especially when you pray and just knowing it's going to come, God is working a good work in you. It's going to come when it's supposed to come. If you're going through the tribulation, I mean, I almost look back in life, there's a positive, there's a. You have to go through struggle in order to really understand the goodness. When you're out the other side.
[00:05:41] God, he's just so great. He's so great. It's on his time, it's on his season. So if you're praying or you're waiting for something, it's going to be good, man. Enjoy it. Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Always when you pray, you pray to God. You never pray to Jesus Christ. It's not biblical. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a beautiful day today. God bless you and your family and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:09] And where that foghorn blows, I will be coming home.
[00:06:19] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. I pray for safe travels that I can get there and get back and it's quick and just fast. I thank you so much for getting me through the tax, just that whole situation and kind of settling my heart and lifting that off my shoulders. I thank you again for each and every person. I just pray for the people we work with that you take care of them and that you just bless them and that you kind of show us what's the next step or what are the steps in the business to move forward. I pray for this country and for everything that's going on, that you just take care of everything. And again, I thank you for your believers and just the wonderful work that you put in our hearts and for your son, what he did for us. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
