[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. I hope you are excited 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. Praise. Praise him and thank him. I was up super early today, of course, and I don't know if you're like this, but if I have a problem to solve or if something's going on, I don't. My body has this, or my body just essentially wakes me up and then I'm up and then I have to go to work. I have to just knock it out. It's so dumb.
[00:00:39] But I hope you're having a great day and I hope you're feeling blessed. There's a couple things that I read this morning that just comforted me. If you go to First Corinthians, chapter 10, verse 13, it says, There hath no temptation, or temptation hath not taken you. But such is common to man.
[00:01:00] There is not a single temptation that somebody else in life hasn't dealt with.
[00:01:05] And, I mean, that's the truth.
[00:01:10] It is the truth. And that's what I love about God's word. It's bold, it's direct, it's cutting, cuts through, passing through the dividing asunder of both the marrow and the bone. It's a discerner of the thought.
[00:01:25] God's word is the truth. There hath no temptation taken you, but such is common to man. But God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but with. But will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it.
[00:01:46] He's gonna put. He's gonna open that door for you.
[00:01:52] He's going to open a way for you. You're not alone.
[00:01:56] Nothing is too great for you.
[00:01:58] And if you're going through the emotional revolvings of the mind where you're worried about something is too great, then you're not listening to God.
[00:02:08] You have to put in your mind, you are in control of the thoughts that you have.
[00:02:13] You have to decide, I'm not going there in my mind putting this on. There hath no temptation taken you, but such is common to man. But God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to Bear it.
[00:02:37] Understand what God does for you and how much he's there for you and how he takes care of you.
[00:02:43] If you go to Second Corinthians, chapter 4, verse 7, it says, but we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us.
[00:02:56] The power comes from God. The inherent power comes from God and not from us.
[00:03:02] And how wonderful is that if you're in a place where you don't know what to do, and you, you know the world is against you, you have God Almighty, the creator of the heavens and the earth, and the power comes From Him.
[00:03:17] Verse 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed. We are perplexed, but not in despair. Persecuted, but not forsaken. Cast down, but not destroyed. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord or the dying of Christ Jesus, that the life also of Jesus Christ or Christ Jesus might be made manifest or visible in our body.
[00:03:41] I just love this because it gives you the opposite version. We might be perplexed, we might not know which way to turn, but we're not in despair.
[00:03:52] We're not in despair. We know where to go. We have God.
[00:03:56] You might be persecuted in your life, but you're not abandoned.
[00:04:01] And it doesn't matter how you feel, it doesn't matter what you think. You got to put God's word in. God says he'll never abandon you.
[00:04:10] If you're feeling abandoned, change your mind, change your actions.
[00:04:14] We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed. We're not suffocated.
[00:04:19] We are perplexed. We might not know which way to turn, but we are not in despair.
[00:04:24] We might be persecuted, but we are not abandoned. Cast down, but we are not destroyed or perished.
[00:04:31] Always bearing about in the body the dying of Christ Jesus, that the life also of Christ Jesus might be made manifest in our body. There is a spiritual war going on. And you have God Almighty, the Holy Spirit, the pneuma, who's there for you.
[00:04:49] You got to be blessed in life, man. You got to change your mind. You got to go to God. Pray to God. Anytime you're in that anxious thought, anytime you have that anxiety and change and renew and renovate your thoughts to what the Word says. It'll change your life. Have a great day today. Pray the big prayers today. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ again. When you pray, it's always to who, it's always to God, not to Jesus Christ. It's not going anywhere. You're praying to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. It's biblical. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Smell the sea and feel the sky.
[00:05:33] Well, heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. I pray for everything that's going on. I, you know, that you just kind of make a way where there is no way that you. You give me some light at the end of this tunnel, that I know that there's an end to it. I pray for the right person, that you get the right person in here, that we can hire that. That you can show me kind of how to analyze somebody, that I even know what the right person is when they come in. I thank you again for the moments of my life, for the people you put in my life, for the ability you've given us. I thank you for Ian and how much of a blessing he's been to during this time. And I just pray for a great day today. I lift everything up to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
