  The Bible isn't a record of what happened, it's a record of what
• 0:03
  is still happening to you. Today's scripture is coming from
• 0:07
  Romans chapter #15 verse four. And this is the NIV and it reads
• 0:13
  for everything that was written in the past was written to teach
• 0:16
  us, so that through the endurance taught in the
• 0:20
  Scriptures and the encouragement they provide, we might have
• 0:24
  hope. Let's go deeper.
• 0:28
  You're not reading a book. You're walking into a room full
• 0:32
  of witnesses. David is there.
• 0:36
  He points at what you're facing and says it's real, but it's not
• 0:40
  bigger than God. Gideon is there and he leans in
• 0:44
  and says, I know what it feels like to hide, to feel
• 0:48
  unqualified. God does not see you the way you
• 0:53
  see you. Joseph speaks and he says
• 0:58
  slowly, I was betrayed, delayed, forgotten, none of it canceled
• 1:06
  the plan. And Lazarus walks in last.
• 1:11
  He doesn't say much, but he says what you think is over is not
• 1:17
  final. That's what the scripture does.
• 1:21
  It doesn't just inform you, it forms you.
• 1:26
  Wisdom isn't behind you, it's walking with you.
• 1:31
  Knowledge passed down is meant to be lived, not shelved, not
• 1:37
  admired, lived. So when you open the Bible,
• 1:43
  don't read it like it's distant, read it like it's speaking.
• 1:47
  The same God who carried them is carrying you.
• 1:51
  The same power that sustained them is available to you.
• 1:56
  The same outcomes that they stepped into are still on the
• 2:01
  table. You're not reading random
• 2:03
  stories. You are being reminded what God
• 2:07
  does with people who trust Him. And here says reflection moment.
• 2:13
  Think about this today. Which story in the scripture
• 2:17
  feels closest to what I'm walking through right now?
• 2:21
  Am I reading for information or for transformation?
• 2:26
  And here it says declaration. Repeat this after me.
• 2:31
  The word is alive and it is speaking to me.
• 2:35
  I receive strength, wisdom, and hope.
• 2:38
  What God has done before, he will do again.
• 2:43
  I am not alone on this path. And here's today's prayer.
• 2:48
  God, thank you that your word is not distant from us.
• 2:52
  It speaks directly to our life. So we ask that you open our ears
• 2:57
  to hear you clearly Give us understanding beyond this
• 3:00
  reading. Let the stories we carry become
• 3:03
  strength. We live from.
• 3:05
  And for every person hearing this right now, we meet them and
• 3:09
  their story and we ask that you continue to encourage them and,
• 3:13
  and guide them and guide all of us and encourage all of us and
• 3:16
  remind us that we're walking a path that you have already
• 3:19
  proven. We thank you for covering our
• 3:22
  kids, our loved ones, and everyone who was near and dear
• 3:24
  to our heart. We thank you for making sure
• 3:26
  that we all have nothing missing, broken, or lacking in
• 3:29
  our life throughout the time. We honor you for all you're
• 3:32
  going to continue to do. Thank you for empowering us to
• 3:34
  succeed and not fail. And we ask and expect all of
• 3:38
  these things in the matchless name of Jesus to Christ.
• 3:41
  I can't redo. Pray, Amen.
• 3:43
  God bless y'all. I love you and I hope you have a
• 3:46
  fantastic day today. Y'all take care.
• 3:51
  One last thought. You are not just reading
• 3:55
  scripture, you are being mentored by it.
