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. I hope you're having a great morning this morning. I hope your weekend went by tremendously well. I'm still under the gun and under pressure concerning these stupid stunts. Having to.
[00:00:35] I'm having to, like we're having to learn an entire process of lathing. And I mean, it's just. It's been an absolute nightmare. However we are getting through it. And it's always nice to know, like, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. One of the things that I try to do is sit down and just put that verse in my mind and just think about the things that are going on and knowing that. That Christ is there and God is there taking care of each and every situation. And I'm strengthened by Christ. And I'm strengthened by God in all things. Which is. Which is nice to know. I want to go over a couple things today that just really bless me. Sometimes when you read the Word, you get spanked a little bit.
[00:01:18] And it's always nice to know that God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts. If you go to Isaiah, chapter 55, verse 8, it says, for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
[00:01:42] God's thoughts are higher than ours, and his ways are not as our ways.
[00:01:47] It's nice to know that the Word. And that's why the Word will spank you. Sometimes you hear this stuff and it's like, oh boy, I got to change this. That the other.
[00:01:57] It's amazing what God actually gives us. And you have a choice and you can choose what you think on.
[00:02:04] You have to think on God's thoughts. It'll clean up your life. It'll help you in life.
[00:02:08] If you go to Ecclesiastes, chapter 1, verse 15. It says, that which is crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
[00:02:20] It's on God's times.
[00:02:23] There's a time and a purpose for all things, and there's an appointed time by God.
[00:02:28] But if the path is crooked. It is what it is.
[00:02:32] And when you trust God and have that hope, that expectation of future good, and you trust in God knowing that the outcome is what God wants, all things work together for good to those that love God, to those that are called according to purpose.
[00:02:47] If you know that, then you're not freaking out when that path is what it is. Because that's how it goes in life.
[00:02:55] If you go to chapter 16 of Proverbs, verse one, I'm going to read the original verse and I'm going to read. Read it with the ellipsis. It says the preparation or the plans of the heart in man. And the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. Now there's an ellipsis in this.
[00:03:12] And it says to man pertains the plans of his heart. But from Jehovah comes the final decree.
[00:03:23] You get to kind of choose where you go in life. But it's God that says, go in that direction. And then when you acknowledge God and you trust in God, you know that your way he's taken care of regardless of the ups and the downs that you're going to go through again. That tribulation at work is patience, patience, experience and experience hope. And hope will never cause shame.
[00:03:47] Once you've gone through life and you've experienced enough times of tribulation and you have a foundation knowing you can go to God and it's gonna. The outcome is gonna be God's outcome and it's gonna be good for you.
[00:03:59] It relieves the pressure and you can always have that hope which is glorious. My voice is cracked, but whatever glorious, I wanna finish up with this.
[00:04:08] If you go to chapter three of Proverbs, verse five, it says trust or confide in the Lord where with all thine heart. In thine heart, your heart is the seat of your distinctive character. As he thinketh, so he is. What you think about makes you you. You're to trust in the Lord with all of your thoughts, all of your heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding or thine own discernment.
[00:04:34] You got to lean on God's discernment. What does God think about this?
[00:04:38] Can you go to God in all thy ways acknowledge him? That's the next verse, verse 6. In all thy ways acknowledge or recognize him. And he shall rightly divide thy path.
[00:04:51] Isn't it nice to know that you have somebody there that rightly divides the path? You can always go back too. If you've asked God what to do and made the decision to do it, you can Always go back and have that reliance, knowing that you went to God. Therefore, in the times of tribulation, it's going to be okay.
[00:05:09] We live in a tremendous time and you got to understand that it's a beautiful time to live, regardless of what's going on in this messed up world.
[00:05:16] Pray the big prayers today. Pray the small prayers. When you pray, it's always to God. You never pray to Jesus Christ. It's not going anywhere. You pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ with the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:05:42] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. I pray and ask that your hand is in this production stuff that we can knock it out, that we have enough. I don't care if you have to miraculously do a miracle and get, get another log in there. I pray that we have it. I thank you again for the moments of my life, for the people you've put in my life. I pray for the new employee, that you just take care of him and that we get through this and that he can be comfortable knowing that this is all a good thing. I also pray for these next couple months that you lead the way and provide those steps so we can, you know, build out the space and do all that stuff. And I also thank you for my family. I pray for their protection. I thank you for the people that we work with. You take care of them and all the product that's going on and that it's just a blessing. I thank you for a great day and I lift everything up to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
