I hope you are excited today because today is 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, thank him and be joyful.
[00:00:25] I was like kind of wigging out because my golf. I started shanking the ball, which means I'm too close to the ball. I start freaking out.
[00:00:32] Last night, last night my coach fixed it and oh my God, the relief, the relief just from that. It's the small things in life, you know, everybody has their own wants and needs. And one of the things I prayed and asked God for is that I would be good at golf. After 10 years and I'm year nine and it's finally starting to click. And the thing is, I love that God knows the details and he cares about your life. That's why those prayers, a specific needle. You pray and ask God for prayers of specific need. That's what supplications are. And you lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ and he'll. He'll get through the details.
[00:01:07] It's the details of your life. And he just surrounds you with. I mean, what he ends up providing is just bigger than what you can think of. And I think about everybody that is living in fear and that don't have that strong relationship with God or don't have strong faith, which is believing specifically in what you hear and don't read the Word and don't know this stuff, man. Like, it's not about the law of it. It's not about that.
[00:01:33] I mean, there is that reverential all side, but it's not about just, Just that you have to do this, that and the other. It's the blessing that comes once you start to really follow this stuff and then renew and renovate your mind and change your thoughts to what God says. It completely changes your life. And the peace that you get, that spiritual peace that you can't get from the five senses.
[00:01:55] It's amazing. And I just, I hope that and wish that for every one of you. But I was reading this morning in James chapter one, and it says, my brethren, this is verse two. My brethren, count it all. Joy when ye fall into diverse temptations, knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patient or patient enduring. But let patience or that patient enduring have her Perfect work that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing during the times of your the trials and tribulations of your life. Just know that like just sit in it, endure it.
[00:02:33] Don't think about tomorrow. Sufficient is the evil therein. Think about today better as the sight of the eyes and the wandering of the desire. It's better to stay in now. If you have what God or if you have what you need right now, why worry?
[00:02:47] And then also let it have its perfect work. It patience is working in you to that patient. Enduring is getting you to the point where you've had experience tribulation work with patience. Patience, experience and experience hope. It causes effect. It takes time to go through the tribulation, to go through experiencing it multiple times until you hit hope which is the expectation of future good. And hope will never cause shame ever.
[00:03:15] I love that it will never cause you shame.
[00:03:19] Verse 4 or verse 5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and abradeth not, and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Ways you got to stay.
[00:03:50] You got. It's. It's unstable. Double Double minded is unstable. You have to be stable. You have to stay focused. But also man, I also, when it comes to asking, I'm very, very careful for what I ask for.
[00:04:04] Because you'll get it, boy, you'll get it. And sometimes you don't know what you're asking. That's why I really stay in that, that. Close the door or open the door. I don't care which way. I'd like to do this. But if it's not best for me, close it. I don't want to deal with it. I do that in relationships. I do that in business all the time. Because you just don't know.
[00:04:25] And God knows what's best for you. He knows every hair on your head. But if you lack that wisdom, ask if you're lacking that relationship with God, ask for it. If you're lacking the understanding of the word, ask for it. If you're having a hard time reading the word, ask God to open it up. But you got to start to do it. You got to walk.
[00:04:45] I want to jump down to verse 13 and finish up with this. Well, I'll do verse 12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation or the trials. For when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say, when he is tempted, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, of his own sinful desires and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. And sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. You're not tempted of God, don't forget it.
[00:05:26] God is not tempting you. God is not trying you.
[00:05:30] The trial of our faith is the most important thing that goes on in your life. But just know that it's self induced.
[00:05:37] God wants great things for you.
[00:05:40] And you know if you're against God and you're worried about everything you're doing in life, you're missing the point.
[00:05:47] You are a son of God. Build the relationship with him. Have a great day. Pray the big prayers. Lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ. When you pray, it's always 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. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:08] And where that foghorn blows, I will be coming.
[00:06:14] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for every single thing that you do for us, how you do it. I pray for today that it's a great day, that everything that gets done, that needs to get done, gets done, and that it's in a timely manner, that I don't have to work all night. I thank you again for tomorrow, for the trip tomorrow, that it's a blessed trip, that you take care of it, that we're protected, that you protect the sprinter, that it's a good trip, we can get everything in that thing and it's not a pain.
[00:06:39] And I just thank you again for the moments of my life and everything you do for us. I lift up a great day to you in the name of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
