[00:00:01] 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 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, to be thankful. Be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him. We're not quite out of it yet. If you can continue to pray for my brother, we would appreciate that.
[00:00:31] Still some stuff going on there, but, you know, I was. I did fellowship yesterday and it was talking about. I think it was in. I think I was reading Psalms 100.
[00:00:43] And if you go to verse three of Psalms 100, it says, know ye that the Lord is God. It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
[00:00:56] God made us. And I just love this because it was. We didn't create ourselves. God created us.
[00:01:01] And know that God created us. Verse 4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Be thankful unto him and bless his name.
[00:01:13] I just love that he just thought about that, like, just bless his name. Bless God, be thankful. Enter into the courts of God with joyfulness. Every time you go to God, be joyful about it, regardless of the situation.
[00:01:26] Verse 5. For the Lord is good and his loving kindness or his mercy is everlasting and his truth endureth to all generations.
[00:01:38] This is the word of God as connected to his inner thoughts. This is the Bible is his inner thoughts towards the reconnection or reconciliation to Him.
[00:01:47] God reconnected us.
[00:01:50] And it's just. I'm just very, very thankful for that. As my brother's been going through this, just knowing that I can go to God and He's comforted me during this time.
[00:02:00] I don't know. I would be an absolute head case without God. I really would. I think a little too much. Think into things too much, go down the path too far.
[00:02:09] Think about the future too much. You know what I mean?
[00:02:13] But God is so good. Go into his gates rejoicing, be thankful. If you jump over to first Peter, chapter five, verse five, likewise ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you. Be subject one another and be clothed with humility. For God resisteth the proud and giveth grace unto the humble.
[00:02:35] Resist. Be humble towards God. Be humble. That to even think about God in those situations is a humility.
[00:02:43] In any situation you're going through to Continually go back and not just rely on yourself.
[00:02:49] God resisteth the proud and giveth grace unto the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.
[00:03:04] I keep going back to my buddy who's. Who's praying to God a lot, and he says, you know God. I'm sure God doesn't want to hear me anymore. It's the exact opposite. Cast all your care upon him, for he careth for you.
[00:03:19] You want to hear the problems of your kids, you want to hear the problems of your friends.
[00:03:24] You want to be there for them. And God wants that infinitely more than we do. God is love and perfect love. It casteth out torment.
[00:03:34] We're not to live our lives in torment even when you're going through major things.
[00:03:39] Verse 8. Be sober, be vigilant. Because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walking, walking about, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, whom resist. Steadfast in the faith, knowing that, Knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
[00:04:01] You resist the adversary by faith, and that is specifically believing and having a firm conviction in what you hear.
[00:04:09] You got to hear the Word. You got to. You got to read yourself the Word.
[00:04:13] You got to know verses. You got to be able to put these things in your mind to settle yourself.
[00:04:19] Finally, verse 10. But the God of all grace who hath called us unto his eternal glory, by Christ Jesus. After that ye have suffered for a while. After that you've suffered for a while. Make you perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you.
[00:04:38] God is going to make you perfect. He's going to make you. He's going to establish you. He's going to strengthen you, and he's going to settle you.
[00:04:47] Continue to go to God daily in all thy ways. Acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.
[00:04:53] Go to God in every moment of your life. Even when you're going through struggle, even when you're going through good times.
[00:05:00] You gotta go and stick to him and stay to him and give him. Ask him for strength if you need Him. Ask him for resilience if you need it. Ask him for a calm heart if you need it.
[00:05:10] You just ask. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Pray the big prayers today.
[00:05:15] Again. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. You never pray to Christ. It doesn't go anywhere. You pray to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
