[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? Hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today because today is the day the Lord hath made. 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 himself.
[00:00:23] I'm not. I had, I didn't leave. I'm back. But I. This is gonna sound ridiculous, but the last three days my mouse wouldn't work. And every time I thought, o, I just charge it for the next morning, I get up and do it and it's like not working. And then the next day I'm like, well, I have another one. I'll just throw that on charger, use that. Next day, not working. And I forgot about this mouse. So anyways, my mouse is working now, which is great. But I've been. This is going to be kind of an interesting teaching. So this morning, last couple days, I went out with this person and they're doing very well financially.
[00:00:59] And I don't know why I'm like this. I don't know why I get competitive or I don't know why it's in me. But once I see success around me, I'm sitting in a place of success.
[00:01:09] I'm comfortable, I'm happy, I'm living day to day better as the sight of the eyes. Life's good. The moment I start thinking about the future, I start wigging out. What's going on when I retire? What's going on with my retirement? What's going on with my family?
[00:01:24] Based on what we're doing now, can we handle, as we retire, can we handle and sustain the life that we have? If not, then what do we need to do? So I spin out, essentially.
[00:01:35] So I'm reading this stuff and I'm. And this morning I wake up and I'm like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna look up abundance, right? And I always do this when I'm going through something in life. I'll find a word and I'll do a word study and go through and. And what does God say about this stuff? And I'm not really sure why abundance was the one I came up with today.
[00:01:54] But I just.
[00:01:56] What came up? What I read. And the verses that came up were just, just ridiculous. If you get a Psalms, chapter 37, verse 11, it says, but the meek and these are patient, or the oppressed ones shall inherit the land or the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
[00:02:19] Immediately changes the framework of what I think abundance is the way, the way God talks about abundance, abundance of peace.
[00:02:28] Like I live in an abundance of peace now, right now.
[00:02:33] And Christ always says, don't be anxious for tomorrow. You're not to think about tomorrow. For the things of itself are sufficient. The evil that happens today is sufficient thereof. Like you're good today. Better is the sight of the eyes and the water. Stay focused on today.
[00:02:49] So the first place that I read about abundance, it has to do with the abundance of. Of peace. Immediately, a mind shift.
[00:02:57] Not about the abundance of things, not about the abundance of wealth, the abundance of peace. If you go to 57, chapter 7, or I'm sorry, 52, chapter 7, it says, lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. I will praise thee forever because thou hast done it.
[00:03:32] Do you trust in riches or do you trust in God? Where is your abundance?
[00:03:37] The first one is abundance of the peace. Second one talks about those who trust in the abundance of their riches and not in the abundance of God. Again, a mind shift.
[00:03:49] If you jump to Ecclesiastes, chapter 5, verse 10.
[00:03:54] He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he that loveth abundance with increase.
[00:04:02] You're never going to be satisfied with the abundance of. In the increase of your life. You're going to want more.
[00:04:09] And I think about my life now. Like, what am I complaining about?
[00:04:14] Why am I spitting out? I know God's gonna work with me, and I do feel that fire to move and I plan on moving.
[00:04:22] But God is your sufficiency. You gotta know that God is gonna take care of each and every situation.
[00:04:30] It's not about you.
[00:04:33] I wanna finish up with this. If you go to Luke chapter 12, verse 15, and he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness or wantonness. For a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
[00:04:52] Ah, man. Nothing like getting spanked at 5 o' clock in the morning.
[00:04:57] You know what I mean?
[00:04:59] It's amazing. That's why God's word is phenomenal.
[00:05:04] Look how quickly God can change my attitude.
[00:05:09] You gotta. When you, when you, when you have a problem in life, you go to the Word and God will settle you. You Go to the Word and God will comfort you.
[00:05:19] This word is spiritual. It's not five senses.
[00:05:24] It's spiritual. And it will spiritually change and renew and renovate your thoughts once you apply the things that are in here.
[00:05:32] You got to choose God in your life. You got to choose His Word and renovate your mind to it, like I'm trying to do.
[00:05:40] Have a phenomenal day today. Pray the big prayers. 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. Have a great day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:07] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for everything you do for us and how you do it. I pray for today and just everything that's going on. I pray for strength. I pray that you also get rid of this weakness, or whatever you want to call it. If I'm allergic to the foam, whatever it is, it stops so I can work and move.
[00:06:26] I also thank you for my brother that you again protect him, take care of his hand, get him back to 100%, and that everything that we're doing right now is laid out for us so that we can move forward. I thank you again for the family, for the peace that I have in my life, for where we're headed. I also pray for my mom and everything that's going on with the garden, that this gets in and it doesn't take her out. And again, I thank you for the moments of my life, for the little details that you always take care of, and for your son and what he did for us. I lift up a great day to you. In the name my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
