1 00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:03,839 Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too 2 00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:07,759 much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy 3 00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,560 for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,039 yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000 keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,879 going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,920 today and receive the power we need to live healthy, 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,839 vibrant lives.

Okay, So 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,840 we're gonna go ahead and begin with the lesson writers 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,319 quote from the book Testimonies for the Church, volume nine 34 00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:04,359 and page two hundred and eighty six. And then I'm 35 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,639 going to give you some simple tips, some very simple 36 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:13,800 tips about how we wait in faith based on what 37 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,240 we're going to talk about today. Okay, And so it 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:22,120 reads all that has perplexed us in the providences of God. 39 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,800 Can we just pause right here. I'ven't gotten through the 40 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:29,199 sentence as yet. Have you ever been perplexed by how 41 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,879 God was moving in your life? My wife and I 42 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,000 were having a discussion back in December about how God 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,120 has moved in my life in business, as an employee, 44 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,080 in other times in my life, and you know, it's 45 00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:48,599 perplexing sometimes, like why is God so good to me? 46 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,159 Why is it that even while he is being good 47 00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:56,080 and it seems like things are not moving at the 48 00:02:56,199 --> 00:03:01,759 pace that humans desire. In my mind it's hyper fast 49 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:05,680 paced because I'm thinking about what God overcame in my 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,240 life to get me to where I am. Did that 51 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,360 sound perplexing to you? 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,039 Speaker 1: Yeah? 53 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: Now think about the things that you're going through. Are 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,639 you going through a health challenge? Is there a relationship 55 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,319 that you did everything that God required of you and 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,120 it seems not to be working out. Yeah, So let 57 00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:26,719 me continue the quote. All that has perplexed us in 58 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:32,439 the providences of God will in the world to come 59 00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:36,759 be made plain. Make it plain, Jesus, That's what I'm saying. 60 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Come on, in the world to come, it'll be made plain. 61 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,800 The things hard to be understood will then find explanation. 62 00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,120 And so what I'm going to ask you to do 63 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,479 is what I require of myself. I said require of myself. 64 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,000 I'm going to ask you to ask God for that 65 00:03:56,199 --> 00:04:01,240 mindset today. I did not say ask God to make 66 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,319 plain in the current world, those things that are set 67 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,520 to be made plain in the world to come. That 68 00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:09,360 is not what I just said. I said, ask God 69 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,240 to help you to have the mindset of the world 70 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,639 to come. And that means I know that whatever God 71 00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:21,319 is doing or not doing is for my good. Therefore, 72 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,279 I'm patiently waiting because I already know at the right time, 73 00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:27,800 he's going to show me exactly what's going on, and 74 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,759 in the meantime he's going to work out all things 75 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,199 for my good because he's intentional. All right, let me 76 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,439 continue the quote, the mysteries of grace will unfold before us. 77 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,720 I can't wait for that day, but I have to, 78 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,959 just like you do. Where our finite minds discovered only 79 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:52,680 confusion and broken promises, we shall see the most perfect 80 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,560 I need you to see in your thoughts right now, 81 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,800 in your mindset, right now, minutes into five minutes into 82 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,240 our broadcast this morning. I need you to see right 83 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:11,600 now that there are no broken promises. I want you 84 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,680 to see right now that there is no confusion because 85 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:17,920 because you're asking God for his mindset. Right let this 86 00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:21,279 mind be in you, which was also in Christ, Jesus 87 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,439 that was humble enough to do whatever God said, huh okay, 88 00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:29,959 it says here where our finite minds discovered only confusion 89 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,759 and broken promises, we shall see the most perfect and 90 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:37,920 beautiful harmony. Ask God for a harmonious and beautiful thought 91 00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:42,920 process today. While we wait, we shall know that in 92 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:50,560 finite love ordered the experiences that seemed most trying. As 93 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,199 we realize the tender care of Him who makes all 94 00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:59,480 things work together for our good, we shall rejoice with 95 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:05,920 joe unspeakable and full of glory. Let me say that 96 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,480 last one again, as we realize the tender care of Him. 97 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,680 That's then in the future, when we are in the 98 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,279 new world, when we realize the tender care of Him 99 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,519 who makes all things work together for our good, we 100 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,519 shall rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. That 101 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,040 is the end of the quote. And so what I'm 102 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:29,279 asking all of us to do is ask God today 103 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,040 to give us the mindset that is full of glory 104 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,519 and joy unspeakable. I'm talking about a foretaste of that 105 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:43,120 glory divine. I'm talking about not waiting for what eyes 106 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,279 have not seen nor ear heard, not waiting for those 107 00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:49,079 things that are that are yet to enter into the 108 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,399 minds and hearts of God's people who really do and 109 00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:56,680 indeed love him. I'm saying, Lord, give me the mindset 110 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,319 to really truly believe that all things are worth working 111 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,439 for my good, so that whenever any trial, any tribulation, 112 00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,199 anything that seems perplexing, seems confusing, seems like a broken promise, 113 00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,399 that I will say, Oh yeah, I have unspeakable joy. 114 00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:16,319 I'm not saying to play mind games with myself. I'm 115 00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:22,759 saying that we can ask God for his mindset today today. Now, 116 00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:26,680 let's go ahead and jump into the Bible before we 117 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,240 are out of time. Okay, So the first thing we 118 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:34,000 want to do is trust his perfect plan. Right out 119 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,879 of Romans chapter eight. We made allusion to it a 120 00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:39,839 moment ago and verse twenty eight, and the Bible reads, 121 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:42,959 and we know, huh not that we will know. We 122 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:48,480 know presently that all things work together for good to 123 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,399 them that love God? Do you love God? To them 124 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800 that are called according to the purpose or His purpose? 125 00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:58,839 Do you love God? Are you called according to His purpose? 126 00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,399 Then that means all all things are working together for 127 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,480 your good. All things in heaven Jesus praying as our 128 00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,680 or being our intercessor, all things are working together in 129 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,959 heaven Ah the Holy Ghost, praying in moanings and groanings 130 00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:16,360 that cannot be uttered, so that our prayers can get 131 00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:19,279 through all things in heaven, in all things on earth, 132 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,759 because God will make them work out for our good. 133 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480 We need the mindset today. Number two, hold on to 134 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,199 his promises. God is not slack concerning his promise as 135 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,000 some people count slackness, but he's long suffering toward us. Sometimes, 136 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,840 these things that we go through is because God is 137 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,879 patient with us. I know, it's like what it's crazy 138 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:44,080 making what ah, Because God knows some things about us 139 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,519 that maybe we don't understand, or maybe we do understand. 140 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,279 But it's a work in progress, and we need just 141 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,720 a little bit more, just a little bit more pressure, 142 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,000 we need just a little bit more strengthening. We need 143 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,879 just a little bit more patience mism. Yes, and so 144 00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:05,639 He will give us everything that we need because He 145 00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:08,159 doesn't want anybody to perish, but that all should come 146 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,120 to repentance. Number three Focus on eternal perspective. The Bible 147 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:17,759 says in two Corinthians, chapter four and verse seventeen, for 148 00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:21,679 our light affliction, all of it is light in the reality, 149 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,159 which is but for a moment worketh for us a 150 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,679 far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Focus on 151 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:39,159 the eternal perspective of God. Make it plain Jesus. Yeah, 152 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,600 I think he did it today. Peace. 153 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,519 Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot 154 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,600 live by bread alone, but by every word that comes 155 00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,720 from the mouth of God. This has been your daily 156 00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:00,279 portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
