  Hello and welcome back to my podcast spending
• 0:02
  time with dr. Christina We're in season 7 episode
• 0:06
  2 of the five -minute Bible study and today we're
• 0:09
  talking about God always takes care of us You
• 0:15
  know, we're living in a time where social media
• 0:18
  Controls the lives of a lot of people what people
• 0:22
  what other people say and think about others
• 0:25
  it affects some people And, you know, what we
• 0:30
  need to know is that, as Christians, what people
• 0:35
  say doesn't matter. God always has the last voice.
• 0:42
  He always takes care of us. And that is just
• 0:46
  one type of scenario when people are affected
• 0:51
  by what others say. But when you walk in the
• 0:55
  truth of God, which is just one truth, It's just
• 0:58
  Him. He tells us what we are and who we are in
• 1:04
  Him. For example, the Lord tells us if God before
• 1:09
  us who can be against us, then the Lord also
• 1:14
  tells us that we are the apple of His eye. These
• 1:19
  are the truths that we should be living by and
• 1:22
  nothing else no other opinion matters And this
• 1:25
  is again why renewing our minds are so important
• 1:28
  to have our minds to line up With what God says
• 1:33
  about us. We should have as the Bible says the
• 1:36
  mind of Christ We should be thinking like him
• 1:40
  and you may be thinking Well, how do I do that?
• 1:44
  well, the Holy Spirit is our guide the Holy Spirit
• 1:48
  helps us and Guides us in the way we should go
• 1:52
  that is scripture So if you ever need to know
• 1:56
  anything about a situation This is the book of
• 1:59
  James. It says for us to pray and ask for wisdom
• 2:03
  and God gives us to us without any limits and
• 2:09
  Depending on what translation you're reading.
• 2:12
  That's what it says And again, you may be thinking,
• 2:16
  why? It's also because as the Bible states, we
• 2:20
  are His craftsmanship. We are His handiwork.
• 2:24
  God cares for us. And you should just take a
• 2:28
  few moments, 10 seconds, and think about all
• 2:32
  the times that you know that God has come through
• 2:34
  for you. And if it's a case where you're new
• 2:37
  as a Christian, or if it's a case where you just
• 2:41
  don't feel like God is on your side just because
• 2:46
  of some bad things happening or what you thought
• 2:49
  were bad things. No, God is always with you.
• 2:53
  He works evil for good. I can't tell you how
• 2:58
  many times countless times in my own life and
• 3:02
  as I grew as a believer where I could see God's
• 3:05
  hand on my life. His goodness delivering me from
• 3:09
  evil and this is what you should think about.
• 3:12
  Take a few moments and think about times Where
• 3:17
  God's grace has rained on your life where maybe
• 3:20
  you deserved something far worse in a situation
• 3:23
  But you got God's goodness and his grace instead
• 3:27
  Maybe instead of someone doing something to you
• 3:31
  you were the person doing something to someone
• 3:33
  else But God's grace was there for you. He always
• 3:37
  takes care of us and it could be now you're facing
• 3:40
  something hard Maybe you're facing a crisis with
• 3:44
  your health, with your housing, with food insecurity,
• 3:48
  whatever you're facing. Maybe it's other relationship
• 3:51
  issues. Remember, God takes care of you. Find
• 3:57
  scripture and get behind it. Meaning read it,
• 4:02
  meditate on it, and know that God is working
• 4:04
  on your behalf. And this goes whether you're
• 4:07
  a new believer or an older believer. Sometimes
• 4:10
  we have moments where our faith seems weak. But
• 4:13
  we must remember even faith of a mustard seed.
• 4:16
  God is moving on our behalf. He's always there
• 4:21
  for us no matter the crisis we're facing. He
• 4:25
  is there. He may not be the author of it. Maybe
• 4:28
  we're the author of it. Maybe the enemy is the
• 4:30
  author of it. Maybe the enemy is using people
• 4:33
  around you. It doesn't matter. God sees all and
• 4:37
  He knows all. Again, God is always working things
• 4:41
  for our good. Our good. Not just us, just not
• 4:47
  special people, special Christians. No, our good.
• 4:52
  So let's think about that and know today that
• 4:56
  God takes care of us no matter what the circumstances
• 4:59
  we are facing in life. He is there for us. Well,
• 5:03
  this is the end of this week's episode and I
• 5:05
  thank you all for joining me and until the next
• 5:08
  time I wish you all a good week.
