[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. I hope you are excited today.
Because today, the day that 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. Praise. Praise him and thank him.
You know, I woke up freaking out again. And I don't get it, man. I don't get it. Because we're not doing bad or anything. I think it's just the I idea of it. The idea of having overhead, the idea of having a lot of people working. It's. It's.
It's a whole thing, man. It's a whole thing. And again, you got to learn how to go to God. You got to learn how to control your mind, renovate your thoughts to what the Word says. I've been working that inherent power and the authority, the fact that you have it, you have the power. Once you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, and you're born again of the Holy Spirit, once you have all that, you have inherent power. You have that power from on high, the ability to do things. Just whether or not you use it. You also have the right. You have the authority to do things.
It's just whether or not you use it.
You got to put this stuff into your mind, the Word, and you got to change and renovate your thoughts so that you don't live your life in fear. Because God did not give us the spirit of fear or cowardice, but of love and of cycle, of love and of something and of a sound mind. I don't know the verse right now, but yeah, you got to remember that. So I'm going to go over something, just a little. Like a little.
I've kind of this a lot, but this is easy. If you go to Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Again, this was written by Solomon.
I mean, it was written by God through Solomon. But Solomon had everything in life. Everything.
He had wealth, everything that a man could want in life, he had. He had wealth.
He had.
I think he had like a thousand concubines. He had peace in his kingdom, he had knowledge and wisdom. And he kind of breaks down what he thinks about. It's super interesting. And about your possessions, I mean, he had everything.
And at the end of the day, all he said was that there's nothing better than to eat and to drink and enjoy the good of your labor. There's nothing better in life than to eat and to drink and enjoy the good of the labor. But this is one of the things he talks about. If you go to chapter three, verse one, it says to everything there is a season, and this is the whole. The whole or altogether. There is at a season or an appointed time, in a season or an appointed time to every pleasure or desired thing or purpose that's under heaven.
There's a season or a time to be born, and there's a time to die. There is a time to plant and there's a time to pluck up that which is planted. It's beyond the power of man. It's beyond man's authority to determine or alter the seasons. You can't change what's going on.
There's a. There's an appointed time or a season for that. And you got to remember these things in your life.
You might be in a. In a. In a time where you're working, working, working, working and you don't feel like you're receiving. And there's a time where you're not working at all and you are receiving.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: It's all God that gives. God is the one who provides in your life.
And you work for God. You're not working for man. You're working for God. And those of you don't work or who slide on work, that is absolutely wrong.
You put the time in and you work in life. That's what God tells you to do.
Verse 3. There's a time to judicially kill, and there's a time to heal. There's a time or a season to break up or to breach, and there's a time to build up and rebuild. There's a time where God might be breaking you down as a human, as a person.
Godly grief at work of the change in your moral position. If you've been there, you know where you just feel like you're getting pounded. But there's also a time where God's going to build you up and this might be in your life. There might be friendships you need to break down.
Who knows it's between you and God. Work out your own safety, your own salvation with God.
Verse 4. There's a time to weep and a time to laugh. There's a time or a season to wail or to mourn. There's a time to dance or to jump or to leap.
You might be going through death in the family. It's a hard time. That is a hard time.
But it's all part of life.
There's a time to cast away stones. And this is like if you have a vineyard. There's a time to break down the field and there's a time to gather stones together or to build new fields. There's a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. There's a time to get and a time to lose. There's a time to garden, a time to cast away.
There's a season for everything in life. And you have to keep that in perspective as you go through this. This wonderful life that we have.
Because it's not going to be all rosy and butterflies. It's hard, man. You go through hard times.
But knowing that God's there, knowing that all things come from God.
Sometimes, let's say you work. I know there's a lot of people who will beat themselves up because they're working and they're not getting ahead. And they think that they're doing something wrong.
And God is just pounding them as a result of that. That is not the way it works.
There is a time and a season to gather, and there's just a time and a season to work and to not work.
If you jump down to verse, let's go to verse 10. I have considered the business or seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised or to be occupied in it. He hath made everything beautiful in his time or his proper season. Also he hath set the world their heart so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. And isn't that true? You watch people who just kill themselves trying to figure out the world, figure out the things of the world.
And God set that as a purpose in their heart. That no man's going to find the beginning and the end of what God does, what God makes. I know that there is no good in God's works but for a man to rejoice and to do good in his life. And that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor. It is the gift of God. I know that whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever. Nothing can be put to it or added, and nothing can be taken from it or removed. And God doeth it that men should fear or have reverential awe before him. That's the point of life, is to have reverence for God in all thy ways. Acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path. Look unto him, look unto him for direction. Know there's a time and a season, and that we are to enjoy the good of our labor. And that's from God.
Yet to make your soul enjoy the good of your labor. It's not always easy. Have a great day today. When you pray, you always pray to who? You pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. Talk to you tomorrow.
[00:07:18] Speaker A: Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. I pray for my brother and his flight, that you just decide whether or not he goes and that it's a blessing either way. I pray for my mom and my aunt down in Dallas. You just take care of them and that it's a blessing while they're down there. I also pray for everything that's going on, that you comfort my heart for the what we're doing over there on the other side of the other warehouse, that if we're to just blow it out or not blow it out or that just show me, because I know we're about to spend a lot.
I just ask you for comfort of heart and comfort of mind. I thank you again for the moments of my life and for each and every person we work with, that you bless them and take care of them and for a great day today. I lift everything up to you in the name of my Lord and savior, Christ Jesus.
[00:08:19] Speaker A: Sam.
