[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day that the Lord hath made. We'll be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have under the sun in this cosmos, in this arrangement. Be thankful. Be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him. Be joyful. Be joyous.
I'm fasting. It's like a whole story, but I'm fasting for the first time in my life and it's actually not that bad. But let me tell you, after about 30 hours, you start to get a little hangry. Little hangry. And I'm trying to keep it together for my family's sake, for everybody. We work with sake. But we will see, like four hours to go and we are good. But anyways, I was reading this morning in Philippians chapter two, and if you jump over to verse one, it says, if there be therefore any consolation or any callings in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any bowels of mercies, fulfill ye my joy, that you may be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one mind.
The whole point is to. Is to have that love in you fulfill. You gotta love people, and it's not the easiest thing in the world to do.
But if you actively work on it and actively change your mind and to just love one another, that's the end of the law to all them that believe. Verse.
Where are we? Verse 3. Let nothing, or let not one thing be done according to strife, or works for ambition, or vainglory, or things that are empty as to glory, but in lowliness of mind or humility, let each esteem better than themselves. Look, not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. If you're a selfish person, this is one of those verses I would kind of stick to and think about. You got to look on the things of others just like you look on your own things. You got to have a loving heart, an open heart. You have to have empathy with people. If you jump over to Philippians, chapter 2, verse 12, it says, wherefore, my, my beloved, as you have always obeyed. Not in, not as in my presence only, but much more in my absence. Work out or achieve your own safety, your own preservation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you by labor both to will, and this is the emotional will to do and to work of his desired pleasure. This is a phenomenal verse.
Everyone's walk in this life is different. And when you build a relationship with God, you'll understand that what is good for you might not be good for Joe Schmo down the street.
Obviously, there are biblical principles which are good for everyone, but God will work in you. My path is different than your path. Your path is different than someone else's path. He has everybody's. Everybody has a position in the body of Christ that God is working on. Having everyone do things, I mean, it's an incredible thing. But it's work out your own salvation, your own preservation with God. And he's going to work in you and give you the emotional will to do. And this is also phenomenal because you can go work and do things, but if you're not emotionally motivated to do it, it's difficult. God works in you and gives you the emotional will to do things. On top of he is greater than your heart. He is greater than the things that you think about the seat of your distinctive character. He's greater than. He will work in you. And when you work and talk and walk with Go, you'll see the benefits of that in your life. You just have to choose it. Verse 14. Do all things without murmuring and disputing. Good luck. Do all things without murmuring and disputing that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without blemish or without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation among whom ye shine as lights and the world.
You are a light and a shining light of God.
You have Christ in you, the hope of glory. And people will respond to that. But you have your own. You have your own walk. We're to love one another. You're not to judge other people. That's between them and God, unless they're born again. And that's a whole other thing.
We're to love one another. You're to work out your own safety and preservation. You're to work with God. You're to love your life. You're to love the people around you, look on the things of others and be a good person.
But ultimately, again, it's you and God out there. Where are you putting your focus? Are you focusing on the things that actually matter? Pray the big prayers today lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, you pray to God. Never to Jesus Christ. It won't go anywhere. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day today. God bless you and your family, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
And where that foghorn blows.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much.
[00:05:27] Speaker B: For each and every day and for the things that you do for us. I pray for the whole situation that I pray for every single day. And I just ask that you take care of it and that you stop it. And I thank you again for the moments of my life and for the things that you've provided me. I thank you for my family and for those we work with, and I just ask that you continually show us how to grow the business and how to have a better and better life, Father. And I thank you again for the moments of it. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.
