“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.” - Philippians 2:13 (NIV)
⚠️Important Notice ⚠️ Something was up with the audio from about the third minute to the fifteenth minute (I have no idea what happened), so you can just skip ahead to avoid that. I apologize for the poor audio experience with this episode. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.

“We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you...” - Colossians 1:3-6.

I know that the end of this episode sounds like I’m angry, but I promise, I’m not.😂 “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.” ~ Psalms 1:1-3.

“Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” ~ Psalms 37:4
“So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ~ Matthew 6:31-34.
“Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise You.” ~ Psalms 63:3-5.
“Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.” ~ Psalms 6:2.
“Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away… So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” ~ Psalms 90:10, 12
I am going to try talking about this again when I feel a lot more lucid, and a lot less despair. Apologies for the chaotic fulmination :).
Humans, grace to you.💛 Please help me out: On a scale of 1-10, how was the listening experience?

Did you know that when you turn a new age, you are commemorating the number of years you have already lived, not the year you are about to begin? For example, if it is your 20th birthday, you technically have already lived 20 years on earth, and are about to begin your 21st year. Isn’t that such an interesting fact? This one’s an episode about the years I already lived.
