[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you? How you been on this fine, fine, beautiful day. Hope you're having a great day today. I hope you are excited today.
[00:00:10] Yes, 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. Thank him.
[00:00:23] So I'm back. I'm back from my trip. It was fantastic.
[00:00:28] But you know, I was thinking the while I was there just, just how thankful I am to be where I am in my life and to be surrounded with the people I'm surrounded with.
[00:00:38] I was on a trip to Italy and I was with a group of solos, solo travelers. And I just, it's just a blessing to me where God's put me. And I watch and I listen to him talk about, I listened to these people talk about how anxious they are and how they live their life in anxiety. And I watched a couple people freak out because maybe they missed their flight to the point where they're having a mental breakdown.
[00:01:03] And I realized just how much God has worked in my life to calm me down, to know that there is somebody that I can go to every time and pray if I have a problem, if I have a situation, I go to God and I pray to God, knowing that he's going to take care of it and that it's in his hands.
[00:01:22] And people that don't have that live their life in fear or worry or anxiety.
[00:01:30] And I just, I don't know, I'm just grateful for it. I was reading this morning in Romans and this can be really quick, but I read this and this blessed me. If you go to Romans, chapter 5, verse 1, it says, Therefore being justified out from faith or by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
[00:01:48] You have peace with God. And so if your mind is attacking you about God's watching and you know he doesn't like me or I'm doing wrong or all those negative thoughts, you have peace with God. Right now. It's a state of undisturbed well being right now. The minute you believe in the name of Jesus Christ, you have peace with God.
[00:02:10] And you don't need to live in the thing where you're attacking yourself all the time about that.
[00:02:16] You're at peace.
[00:02:18] Verse 2, by whom we have also received access by believing unto this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
[00:02:29] There's one Standard of faith, which is believing. It's funny because they translated this stuff a little wrong.
[00:02:36] Pistis is believing. It's not faith. There's one standard of faith and that's believing in the name of Jesus Christ. Once you have that faith of Christ, there's not more faith you can get.
[00:02:46] However, there is more believing.
[00:02:49] And we, we stand in the peace. This peace through believing.
[00:02:54] If you go to Romans 8, chapter 1, or chapter 8, excuse me, verse 1, there is therefore now not one judgment against you or one condemnation to them which are in or remaining within Christ Jesus. There's not one condemnation, there's not one judgment against you.
[00:03:16] You can walk in the light your life spiritually or you can walk your life carnally. The point is, though you're righteous and you're just before God and therefore you are at peace with God, you're not battling God.
[00:03:28] You might be battling the adversary, but not God. You always have God.
[00:03:34] I want to finish up with this. You jump over to Romans chapter 15, verse 13. It says now the God of hope.
[00:03:41] This is again the expectation of future good. The God of hope fill you or complete you with all joy, or being delighted and peace through or remaining within believing that ye may abound in hope through the power or the inherent power of Holy Spirit.
[00:04:00] You are filled, you are accomplished. You have all these things and you have peace that that comes from believing, remaining within believing.
[00:04:12] Believing is having a firm conviction, a firm reliance.
[00:04:17] God will come through in your life. God will take care of each and every situation, no matter what it is. How big the small ones, how many mistakes you made, all things work together for good. To those that love God, he will provide in every situation.
[00:04:32] Pray the big prayers today, pray the small prayers. But when you pray, you always pray to God, never to Jesus Christ. You pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ with that sacrifice of thanksgiving. Have a beautiful day today. God bless you and your family. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:04:59] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much for today. And just for the little things and the big things and everything, I thank you for being home. I pray for my brother and sister in law that you take care of them on their trip and that it's a blessing and that they pack everything they need to pack. I know it's crazy time right now. I also pray and thankful for the business that we can continually walk forward with that and you kind of show me what are the next steps and what we need to do to accomplish everything. I thank you for getting and accomplishing that landscaping stuff right before I left. I'm just thankful that's over. And I'm very, very grateful for the moments of my life. I lift up a great day to you in the name of Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
