- 0:05Speaker 1: Good morning Form, Good morning God, bless you. Welcome back
- 0:07Speaker 1: to the Morning Devo. Good morning God, bless you. Welcome.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Hey man, if this is your first time watching or
- 0:13Speaker 1: listening to the Morning Devo, I don't believe in coincidences.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I believe in divide appointments. I believe if you're here,
- 0:19Speaker 1: it wasn't by mistake. I believe you've been drawn in
- 0:22Speaker 1: by Holy Spirit God because he wants all of us
- 0:25Speaker 1: to experience his love, his grace, his mercy, his forgiveness,
- 0:29Speaker 1: his salvation, the abundant life that he promised a man.
- 0:33Speaker 1: He wants us to experience it all on this side
- 0:36Speaker 1: of eternity, because on the other side, we're going to
- 0:38Speaker 1: be with him, trying to understand him, trying to get
- 0:41Speaker 1: what he has for us, all through eternity a man.
- 0:44Speaker 1: So we have a lot more ahead of us than
- 0:47Speaker 1: we have behind us, a man. Dreary days it's been
- 0:52Speaker 1: in my region, Tis recording has been some dreary days,
- 0:57Speaker 1: man like exaggeration, two or three weeks of just rain
- 1:02Speaker 1: every other day, dreary, cold, overcast, cloudy, And I was like,
- 1:09Speaker 1: you know, I hate to complain. I don't like to complain. Amen,
- 1:11Speaker 1: we're not supposed to complain as believers. Really nothing to
- 1:14Speaker 1: complain about that's legitimate to complain about at least, right,
- 1:18Speaker 1: because we have an abundant life, and we have Holy
- 1:20Speaker 1: Spirit God. We have eternal life coming. Amen. We have
- 1:25Speaker 1: the promises of God all through the scriptures. So when
- 1:28Speaker 1: I see a dreary day, I'm like, why is this
- 1:31Speaker 1: day so dreary like rainy days? For me? It gets
- 1:34Speaker 1: me lazy, I don't want to do nothing. Amen, gets
- 1:37Speaker 1: me sleepy. But dreary days are here. Sometimes we have them,
- 1:41Speaker 1: sometimes we don't. Sometimes God allows a dreary day to
- 1:46Speaker 1: slow us down. Amen, That's what I'm learning. Sorry, I'm
- 1:51Speaker 1: just trusting my fodio. Sometimes God allows dreary days to
- 1:55Speaker 1: slow us down. But to be a Psalms Chapter forty six,
- 2:00Speaker 1: number ten. I say this a lot in conversation. I
- 2:03Speaker 1: say this a lot on morning DeVos. I say this
- 2:05Speaker 1: a lot in my prayers because I know it's true.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So I'm forty six and ten. We're going to be there.
- 2:10Speaker 1: We're to start there. Amen. Were to use that scripture, Amen,
- 2:14Speaker 1: to help us understand when it's dreary, when we're facing conflict, troubles, trials. Amen,
- 2:22Speaker 1: Why does God allow it? You know, our neighbors that
- 2:28Speaker 1: don't believe in our God, our neighbors that are all
- 2:31Speaker 1: different religions, our neighbors that are atheists, our neighbors that
- 2:34Speaker 1: are agnostic skeptics. They look at dreary days, they look
- 2:39Speaker 1: at trials, they look at world issues, and they say
- 2:44Speaker 1: and asks the question, why would your loving God allow
- 2:48Speaker 1: these things to happen? Right? I think it's a legitimate question,
- 2:52Speaker 1: especially when they don't understand our God. So we're supposed
- 2:55Speaker 1: to be able to respond in a loving way, able
- 2:59Speaker 1: to respond in a life giving way, able to respond
- 3:03Speaker 1: and give a reason why we believe. Amen. And I
- 3:07Speaker 1: believe Psalms forty six' ten keeps us at bay as
- 3:11Speaker 1: believers In. God. Amen and hopefully it will help portray
- 3:15Speaker 1: the message of The gospel to the other people that
- 3:18Speaker 1: don't believe dreary. Days sit in on morning. Devo if

- 9:03Speaker 1: days today in the, Morning. Devo you see it on
- 9:06Speaker 1: the Screen for those who are just, listening let me
- 9:08Speaker 1: just explain what we're seeing on the. VIDEO i put
- 9:12Speaker 1: like a rainy windshield or rainy, window and it's been
- 9:16Speaker 1: raining so much out in my. Region it's just it
- 9:20Speaker 1: makes sense to me that those days become. Dreary sometimes
- 9:23Speaker 1: you can't do much, outside, right if you're, working it's
- 9:27Speaker 1: like you're, like why AM i out? Here you, know
- 9:30Speaker 1: those type of. Things and the day becomes, dreary and
- 9:33Speaker 1: we deal with it and we face. It. Amen but
- 9:35Speaker 1: we have A god who loves, us A god who guards,
- 9:38Speaker 1: us GUIDs, us and protects. Us. Amen and through his.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Word In psalm forty six and, ten the scripture, says
- 9:45Speaker 1: be still and. Know that means recognize and understand THAT
- 9:50Speaker 1: i Am. God of, course this Is god speaking to The.
- 9:54Speaker 1: SAMIS i will be exalted among the. Nations it's an
- 9:58Speaker 1: exclamation point after, THAT i will be exalted in the.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Earth not on the, earth but in the. Earth you
- 10:06Speaker 1: see that the power of gods were penetrating in the,
- 10:09Speaker 1: earth the power of gods were being, recognized the people
- 10:14Speaker 1: Exalting god among the. Nations, right he will be exalted
- 10:18Speaker 1: among the. Nations so sometimes a dreary day Is god's way,
- 10:22Speaker 1: of at least in my, situation getting me to slow,
- 10:26Speaker 1: down BECAUSE i could, run AND i could, run AND
- 10:29Speaker 1: i can. Run you let me. Go i'll work all,
- 10:31Speaker 1: Day i'll work all. Night. Amen But i'm starting to
- 10:34Speaker 1: learn that chasing after the. Wind that's what it feels
- 10:37Speaker 1: like sometimes is not. Wise it's not, Wise, Amen chasing
- 10:43Speaker 1: after the wind is not. Wise i'm chasing after the
- 10:45Speaker 1: wind is something that you will never be able to. Catch.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Right but when you're, still when you're hearing from The,
- 10:53Speaker 1: lord not just praying and, asking but giving and Allowing
- 10:58Speaker 1: god to speak to, us speak to you and speak to,
- 11:01Speaker 1: me listening to what he's saying and apply what he's
- 11:04Speaker 1: saying in our daily, lives that's when you could turn
- 11:07Speaker 1: a dreary day a man into a good. Day that's
- 11:10Speaker 1: when you'll realize that every day Is god's. Creation every
- 11:14Speaker 1: day is a new, day regardless if it's, raining rain or.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Shine every day is a new. Day if you ever
- 11:21Speaker 1: ask somebody, listen how's your day been, going and they always,
- 11:25Speaker 1: say same, old same, old it's. IMPOSSIBLE i always, respond that's.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Impossible yesterday wasn't the same as today and. Tomorrow we
- 11:32Speaker 1: didn't even know what's gonna, happen, Right so today's a new.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Day let's start from. There start with the newness of the,
- 11:38Speaker 1: days start with the newness Of god's, Creation start with
- 11:41Speaker 1: the newness of What god is. Doing, amen and those
- 11:44Speaker 1: drivey days will be turned around quickly in your, life
- 11:46Speaker 1: and your perspective even will change when it's a dreary.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Day but we're gonna go through drivery. Days we have
- 11:52Speaker 1: good days and we're gonna have bad. DAYS i don't
- 11:55Speaker 1: know what's going on with some preachers out there saying
- 11:58Speaker 1: every day is a good. Day, well every day above
- 12:00Speaker 1: ground is a good. Day how about when you have
- 12:03Speaker 1: a bad? Day. Amen as a matter of, fact we
- 12:05Speaker 1: look at the. Scriptures the prophets have bad, days the
- 12:08Speaker 1: disciples have bad. Days Our lord and Our savior had bad,
- 12:13Speaker 1: Days so why wouldn't we experience bad. Days we're not
- 12:17Speaker 1: immune to the world. System we're not immune to what
- 12:20Speaker 1: goes on in the day to day. Life but what
- 12:22Speaker 1: we could do is focus on the, perfector the author
- 12:26Speaker 1: and perfector of our, faith The Lord. Jesus what we
- 12:28Speaker 1: could do is is realize What god is doing during that,
- 12:31Speaker 1: trial during that, triblation even in the dreary. Day Sometimes
- 12:35Speaker 1: he'll use that, day those moments to draw us closer To. Him.

- 21:46Speaker 1: things like, that if you're if you're not paying, attention

- 21:57Speaker 1: about when you wash your car in the same, day

- 22:17Speaker 1: days actually makes you appreciate or makes you more grateful
- 22:22Speaker 1: for a shiny, day for a sun shiny. Day right
- 22:25Speaker 1: when the sun is gone for two three days and it's, cold, dreary,
- 22:30Speaker 1: right and then when you finally see the, sun how
- 22:33Speaker 1: do you, feel you feel, Like, wow finally a nice.
- 22:35Speaker 1: DAY i literally said that. YESTERDAY i said On, monday
- 22:38Speaker 1: A Memorial, DAY i looked up and, say finally a clear,
- 22:42Speaker 1: day a nice, day a beautiful. Day and we have
- 22:44Speaker 1: an opportunity to share that, Time, amen with a family
- 22:48Speaker 1: that we are getting to. Know so when it's sunny, Outside,
- 22:56Speaker 1: amen that's the opposite of a dreary day of a
- 22:58Speaker 1: cloud to. Day, Right it helps us appreciate the beauty
- 23:01Speaker 1: Of god's, creation helps us appreciate the, day helps us
- 23:04Speaker 1: appreciate and be grateful for What god has, done and
- 23:07Speaker 1: we start looking at his creation. Different right when you
- 23:10Speaker 1: see beyond the, clouds when you see that blue, color
- 23:13Speaker 1: that blue sky, clear you're, Like god is Amazing he
- 23:17Speaker 1: painted that in the, sky, Right and that. COLOR i
- 23:20Speaker 1: don't think anybody could truly grasp the color of the
- 23:24Speaker 1: of a clear, sky that that light, blue that sunny,
- 23:29Speaker 1: day when you have that blue, sky that's an amazing
- 23:31Speaker 1: blue and that color is. AMAZING i don't think we
- 23:34Speaker 1: could duplicate that, color and we probably could get, close
- 23:38Speaker 1: BUT i don't think we could actually duplicate that color
- 23:41Speaker 1: because it's amazing color and it's not the same all the.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Time if you, notice sometimes it has some pinkish in.
- 23:46Speaker 1: It sometimes it has some purple and purplish color in.
- 23:50Speaker 1: There it's, crazy it's. Crazy so after a lot of
- 23:54Speaker 1: gray and dreary, days a ray of sunshine feels like a. Gift,
- 23:59Speaker 1: right especially in my, region we've been having like overcast.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Weather it looks like this happened a couple of years.
- 24:05Speaker 1: AGO i don't know if it was last year or
- 24:07Speaker 1: the year before. That it went straight from winter and
- 24:10Speaker 1: spring was we got jipped out of spring and it
- 24:12Speaker 1: went straight to. Summer hot. Days. Amen so the seasons
- 24:17Speaker 1: are not the same as they used to, be at
- 24:19Speaker 1: least WHEN i was a, kid, right we had seasons
- 24:22Speaker 1: that made. Sense spring made, sense, summer, fall, winter it
- 24:28Speaker 1: all made. Sense now it's, like you don't. Know you
- 24:32Speaker 1: could be in the middle of the. Summer it could
- 24:33Speaker 1: be a forty degree. DAY a man the good way
- 24:36Speaker 1: the seasons are now so after spiritual or emotional heaviness hits,
- 24:42Speaker 1: US i, believe like when it's a dur every, day
- 24:46Speaker 1: that could trigger some things in our lives and we
- 24:49Speaker 1: might realize some things about. Ourselves because now we can't
- 24:52Speaker 1: do much. Outside so whether you're working or, not you're
- 24:57Speaker 1: going to be inside. SOMEWHERE a lot of people who
- 24:59Speaker 1: work out they can't do much when it's rainy and,
- 25:02Speaker 1: cold and especially in construction of they're doing road. Work
- 25:05Speaker 1: you notice that all the road workers are abandoning. Ship
- 25:10Speaker 1: when it's raining important because they can't do. Much and
- 25:13Speaker 1: when it's too cold the ground is too, hard and
- 25:16Speaker 1: one it's too, rainy the ground wherever they're working could
- 25:20Speaker 1: be too, muddy so you can't get much. Done but
- 25:23Speaker 1: they start realizing that all that stuff allows them to
- 25:28Speaker 1: do other. Things, amen in their, time with their. Time
- 25:32Speaker 1: so in the same way, spiritually when you're feeling emotional,
- 25:36Speaker 1: heaviness when your joy becomes far in, between you can
- 25:42Speaker 1: slow it down now, Right they, Say, WELL i have
- 25:44Speaker 1: time to concentrate and focus on the things of The,
- 25:47Speaker 1: lord And i'm out of. Time there's so much. There
- 25:50Speaker 1: that's WHY i just kept on. Going but, listen thank
- 25:52Speaker 1: you so much for coming through to the, Morning. Devo.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Amen will probably experience some more if you're in The Lehigh,
- 25:59Speaker 1: valley and some more drievy. Days but remember What god,
- 26:02Speaker 1: says be. Still that might be his way of making
- 26:06Speaker 1: us still, right slowing us, down and know That he
- 26:09Speaker 1: has got in all, days whether the dreary days or sunny.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Days let's learn how to be grateful for the day. Itself,
- 26:16Speaker 1: amen for a new, day another. Day So god bless you,
- 26:19Speaker 1: All god keep you, all and remember always That god is.
