[00:00:01] Speaker A: Good morning.
[00:00:02] Speaker B: Good morning.
[00:00:02] Speaker A: 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'm up super early because I have to go into work early to knock this project out. But I was reading this morning, and this might be kind of a quicker one, but I've been working on that Holy Spirit and that's been a blessing. But this morning I was reading in Psalms and this, this, this psalm is from David. And I just. I think about his heart and how much he loved God and how much he looked to God and he messed up. He did some things he shouldn't have done, like, I don't know, kill someone for his wife. But.
But he's. He's a good person to emulate, you know. He's a great person to emulate. If you go to Psalms chapter 23, verse 1, it says, the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. And the reason why you don't want is because God will provide.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want because God will provide. He maketh, or he causeth me to lie down in green or choice pastures.
The reason why God, when you start working with God and God's with you, he causeth you to sit down and lie down into green pastures, into choice pastures, the place where you want to be.
He leadeth, or he causeth me to rest beside still waters.
It's not God. When you're with God, it's peaceful.
And there are times with trials and tribulations, but once you work through that stuff, tribulation, work with patience, patience, experience and experience, hope, the expectation of future good and hope will never cause you shame.
Once you go through life and you get to the other side, you know where you sit because you've walked with God is just. It's a great place to be. And I can say that as a testament because I've gone through it.
I've gone through the trials and the pressures and will continue to go through it. But the place where God will bring you is beyond what you can imagine.
I always wanted to own a business, but there's a big difference between owning a business and the business owning you.
Having a life outside of a business. I never. I'm not married but yet I live on a family farm and my brother, my sister in law and their kids live right next to me, and my mom, my stepdad live right next to me. So I have this wonderful family unit and I'm privy and privileged to that.
And it was nothing that I ever thought that I would have. It just wasn't part of the plan. And yet God made it part of the plan. And he'll make that with you. He knows your heart, he's greater than your heart, the seed of your distinctive character, the things you think about.
His ways are higher than our ways. So he's going to bring into your life things that you didn't even know will bless you. And that's why I love this. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want because he will provide. He causeth me to lie down in choice pastures or green pastures. He leadeth me or causeth me to rest beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his own sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. And that walking through the valley of death is because he brings you through to eternal life.
He's. He's leading us through all this garbage.
And then Christ is coming back, which I can't wait for. I was one of those people that wanted to wait. I was always, I was like, no, I want to live life. I'm ready.
I'm ready for him to come back right now. That would be fantastic. Verse 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me. And do you feel that in your life, do you know God's going to take care of each and every situation?
Or are you, you know, in a state where you don't know?
You have to trust and confide in God. Oh, ye people, trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Lean not into thine own understanding and all Thy way acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path.
You lean on God, you pray, you ask for certain things. Ask for things of supplication, which are prayers of personal need.
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. And this rod and staff it's with the shepherd would bring like a club and a staff. One is for the defense, one is to help the sheep.
And God brings it up. He brings both of those things for you, both of those things. He's working in your life. He will defend you and he will help you.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies. And this is settest in order. A table before me.
This is a figure of speech. It's so while he fights for you, you'll feast.
While God's out there fighting, you'll be sitting at a table and eating and enjoying your life.
He's there for you 100%.
Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. It's full.
Surely goodness and mercy and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Where's your heart and what do you think about when you think about God? Is it in a loving way?
Are you thankful to God?
He's a wonderful, wonderful God. He will take care of you in every way. And.
And it's just a matter of starting to read the Word, get this stuff in your mind, renew and renovate your thoughts to what the Word says. Because the world is completely whack and it's just gonna. It's gonna cause effect. A good effect, a wonderful effect.
Have a great day today. Pray the big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, it's always to God. It's never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God. Lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ with that sacrifice of thanksgiving, prayers of specific prayers, not prayers of repetition.
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Have a great day.
[00:06:13] Speaker A: God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:31] Speaker B: Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. I pray for just the product that needs to get out. I pray for everything that's going on this week, that it can get done and that it's over with and. And the trip to New York is. Is a blessing. I thank you again for just for the moments of my life, for the things that you do, for healing my brother his hand, making sure that it's 100% back, that he has full strength and full movement, full mobility and feeling. I thank you for protecting him and saving his life, Father, and for his family and just the kids, that you just take care of them. I pray for each and every one of your believers today that you take care of them and bless them. And if there's anything that I can do that you put that on my heart. And I thank you again for the moments of my life, for the little details that you always provide, and for what your son did. I lift up a great day to you. In the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
