[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.
[00:00:19] Be thankful, be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise him and thank him. I was working this morning again on heart, which I've been just working on, but I got a little fried with it. So I went to Romans and this really blessed me. I'm going to do a couple verses in Romans. If you go to Romans, chapter 12, verse 1, it says, I beseech you, therefore, or appeal to you. Therefore, brethren, by the mercies or by the compassion of God that ye yield or present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable or well pleasing to God, which is your rational or reasonable service.
[00:00:54] And be not shaped or fashioned to this world, but be ye ye transformed. And this is to alter one's bearings by the renewing or the renovation of the mind.
[00:01:07] What you think about it makes you you.
[00:01:09] And God does not want us to be shaped or fashioned by this world, by the five senses, by this cosmos.
[00:01:15] He wants you to be shaped and fashioned by the renewing and the renovation of the mind. And that comes from the Word.
[00:01:22] It also comes from casting your cares and giving it to him. If you go to Psalms chapter 55, this is what I'm talking about. It says, cast thy burd upon the Lord, he shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
[00:01:36] We're to give him those cares. We're to give him those thoughts.
[00:01:40] And you renew and renovate your mind by what God says in His Word. It's a spiritual. It's spiritual, man. It's not five senses, it's not carnal.
[00:01:50] And you have the ability to control and renovate your mind by putting on the Word, by putting on the good thoughts, and by shelving the bad.
[00:02:00] I'm dealing with a situation right now. We lost somebody in our wood shop, and so I'm having to go in there and fill in. And the thing is that every single product is a new product for me. I haven't done this stuff.
[00:02:14] So just these little tables, you would think they were nothing, but it's causing a lot of weight on my shoulders as we move forward, because we have a lot of other things going on.
[00:02:25] And I was thinking about that this morning again. I can sit there and spin out and think about it and have it waiting or waiting on me, or waited. The thought waited.
[00:02:37] Or I could go to God and say, God, I need you to take care of this situation. I put it in your hands. And when the time's right, I know God will come through because he's going to come through in your life.
[00:02:48] Renovate your thoughts, renovate your mind.
[00:02:51] Verse 3. For I say through the grace given unto you or unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt every man the measure or the standard of the faith.
[00:03:08] God gave every single person the opportunity to believe, to have faith, a firm conviction, a firm reliance.
[00:03:16] And you're not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think. Why take it on? Why take this stuff on?
[00:03:24] We have God whose thoughts are higher than our thoughts, whose ways are higher than our ways.
[00:03:29] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Like, why take it on? There's no point.
[00:03:35] You have the Creator of the heavens and the earth willing to help you.
[00:03:40] It's just a matter of turning to him.
[00:03:43] If you jump over to verse 9 in chapter 12 of Romans, let love be without hypocrisy or without dissimulation.
[00:03:51] Abhor the evil, cleave to the good, be kindly affectioned like a family, one to another, with brotherly love or the love of the brethren in honor, preferring one another, which is in every honorable matter, leading one another on. Lead people in love, lead people in a good way, not with some hidden motivation. Verse 11. Not slothful or slow or tardy in serious purpose or business, but boiling hot or fervent in the Spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope and patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer, patient in tribulation.
[00:04:33] Those are the trials of your life. Being patient in that patient tribulation. It works or affects your patience. Patience. Experience was the state of being tried.
[00:04:45] And experience hope, which is the expectation of future good. And hope will never cause you shame. That expectation of future good will never cause you shame because God says so.
[00:04:58] And once you start to believe and have conviction and have a firm reliance and faith, you'll see him come through time after time after time.
[00:05:08] Pray the big prayers today. 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. Have a great day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow Let your soul and spirit fly into the mistake.
