[00:00:07] Speaker B: I hope you're having a great day today and I hope you are excited.
[00:00:09] Speaker A: Today because today is the day the Lord hath made. We will 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 of praise. Praise him and thank Him. Be joyful and joyous.
I was reading this this morning and going over all this stuff and I don't know, man, the Word is so. There's just so much in here and sometimes when you're working it and you don't understand something and you're kind of pounding the pavement, I don't know, it's just. It's just I get irritated because I really want to understand exactly what it says and what it says for us. But while I was reading today, there's a couple things I read that I wanted to go to. Go over. If you go to First Peter, chapter three, verse eight, it says, finally, be all of one mind, having compassion or being sympathetic one towards another, loving as brethren, being pitiful. And this is having a fellow feeling tender hearted. Pitiful is like being tender hearted, courteous or being humble minded, not rendering evil for evil.
You know people are going to treat you a certain way, but you're not to look at them, you're not to treat them the same way back.
You're to treat them with love, which is not always easy to do.
But God loved us and we are to love other people. Jesus Christ died for us in love and we are to love other people.
Sometimes I just think it's difficult to control your mind and to do what the Word says to do.
But if you jump down to verse 10, it says, for he that will love life, see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil and his lips that they may speak no guile, which is bait for fish. It's used for getting people to them that love life. I think after, over time, when you start to read the Word and you really start to live this stuff, you're going to feel and receive a blessing, receive these blessings, these spiritual blessings that you really can't explain.
I can't explain what God's done for me. I. I can't explain how much he's changed my life. I can't put into words the great, the joy and the thankfulness I have towards Him.
It's not possible.
It's not possible because the spiritual peace that comes from heaven. It can't be received from this world.
It's not possible to be received from this world because spiritual things are spiritual.
But when you get to that point and you love life and you see good days, let him reframe his tongue from evil. Don't talk, just, just calm your mind down. Don't talk smack on everything. Which is again difficult for me because I'm a critical person.
Just the way I. It's who I am. But it doesn't make it right.
It doesn't make it right that be based on your carnal man, your five senses, the way you grew up, the experience you've been through. It doesn't make it right to treat people in that respect. You treat people with the way God wants you to treat people, which is in love.
Verse 11 Let him askew or turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
Seeking peace and pursuing peace, not easy to do all the time. Especially when somebody wrongs you, it's not easy.
Verse 12 for the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous. His ears are open unto their prayers for but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
You know you're not going to be able to change the laws of God. It's not okay to do wrong.
If you pursue the five senses, you're going to receive the five. You're going to receive five senses results.
But when you seek love and you seek peace and you pursue that peace and you treat others with that respect, I mean, there's a reason is the point. And God's ways are higher than our ways. He knows more than us.
That's why you follow this stuff. You don't go to the word of God deciding what you want to see and read it. And that's what you take out of it. You go with an open heart, you read it and you pursue the things that God tells you to pursue in this life.
And again, it will change your life because God's ways are spiritual. They are above the five senses.
When you start to pursue these things, God in the way God wants you to pursue him, like for I'm gonna keep going back to this. There's nothing better than for a man to eat and to drink and to enjoy the good of his labor. Do you believe that?
Can you receive that? Can you take that in your life and apply it? Or do you disagree?
And right there's the decision.
If you disagree, it's a decision.
Do you believe that sitting down when you're eating and drinking you're blessed. You're taken care of with your family.
And when you enjoy the good of your labor, you're taken care of. That's what life's about. If you don't believe it, that is wrong thinking. And frankly, I don't care what you think about it. It's what the word says. And when you pursue the word and you put this stuff in your mind and you dwell on it and you dwell in love and you pursue peace, that's what God wants for you. That's. That's what you gotta do. Renovate your mind.
Renovate your mind. Like a house. You renovate the interior, you change it to what the word says and you live it.
Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. Again, when you pray, it's always to God. It's never to Jesus Christ. That's biblical. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a wonderful day. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I will be coming home.
Well, Heavenly Father, thank you.
[00:06:04] Speaker B: Thank you for everything you do for us. I just pray for everything that's going on that you clear the way and kind of show me what to do, considering all the businesses and everything that's. That's happening. I also pray that we can get through the next couple months, that the.
[00:06:21] Speaker A: Property gets taken care of, I can.
[00:06:24] Speaker B: Get the chicken stuff up and just that everybody's happy and thankful. I thank you for the opportunity that you give each and every one of us. For my nephews and niece, my brother, sister in law and sister, and my family. And I just thank you for the good times and for the blessings of this country. I lift up a great day to you. In the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
