You are invited to view your daily tasks, no matter how mundane, as opportunities to serve the Lord. Whether you are running a business or sewing supplies for others, do it heartily as unto God. Let your work reflect the dignity and love you have for your neighbor.
Check. Check. Are you you guys hearing me alright? Yeah. Amen.
Good. Good. Good. Man, this is a good church, Yeah. I appreciate you guys.
I can sense there's some hunger in the room today. You know, "hunger for the word" of god. Last time I preached, I was like, let's pray for hunger. It's like, I sense it in the room today. So, Imma get right into it because I don't want to I don't wanna make anyone that's hungry wait.
So, let's go right to the Colossians verse. Colossians-3:23. Why don't you guys read this with me? And whatever you do, **do it heartily** as to the lord and not to men. Whatever you do, do it heartily.
Heartily meaning like, with all of your heart, with everything you have, do it as to the lord and not to men's and that that as to the lord is worship, okay? That's the definition of worship as to the lord and we're in a series called worship and we're talking about worship and you know, Christians, we have a tendency to kinda compartmentalize things. Well, worship, that's music or worship that's singing or dancing. Worship is every moment of every day, right? It's everything that you do.
Every little tiny thing that you do and you tend, we tend to think of certain things as spiritual and certain things as not spiritual but worship is how you interact with others. Worship is how you behave in the car. And worship is how you clean your room. Okay. Oh, I'm gonna get all up in your business today.
I'll get all up in it. So, Jesus, we thank you god for this message. We thank you for this church. God, I I I just pray that you will light my words on fire into the people's hearts today. That it wouldn't be me talking, it would be you talking, that it wouldn't be me getting attention or anyone else getting attention but you would have the attention and that you would burn conviction in our hearts and you would burn your love into our hearts.
We love you, Jesus. Amen. Amen. So, in 2018, I wanna tell you guys just a little bit of what's been going on in Moriah and my in in our life, in our lives. In 2018, we went to Overland Missions Conference.
Overland Missions is the people that have the the kites are with and the the beams are with. If you guys were here when they spoke or when they came up, they were there. That's where we met the beams. We were in Zambia and we were surrounded by all these missionaries and we we we knew the lord had called us to go there. We weren't quite sure why but we 100% knew he called us to go there and everybody's kinda saying, well, you know, you look, you guys look familiar, you know, and they kind of all have this mission thing and they're they're like, I bet you'll become missionaries.
You know, Mariah and I are like, really? You know, I don't know. You know, we're open. We're listening to the lord and so we say, let's pray about this and so I say, babe, let's pray and so we're praying. Lord, you know, what is it?
You know, is this, are you calling us to this? And and it was just dry and he ended up speaking to us during that week that we were there and he spoke over and over and over but he didn't speak missions. He spoke finances. He called us to finances over and over and over and something that I kinda knew I had on my life but it was something that he was very specific on. I want you to I want you to raise finances for the kingdom of heaven and and we knew that we were gonna be going back to America and raising finances and so I said, you know, lord, come on, man.
Really? These people have given up everything. I mean, they're out on the mission field. They're out here, you know, they've they've given up comforts and family and friends and they've gone and they've, it's cost them everything to do this and and you're calling me to go back to America and raise finance, become wealthy, and he says, what makes you think this is what I heard right in my spirit? I heard it right when I prayed.
What makes you think it won't cost you everything? And I was like, yes. I actually, that was my response. Yes. That's what I want.
That's what I want because I want to give everything for the gospel. I want to give everything for the kingdom, right? And so, I I was actually excited. That was a lovely thing for me to hear. So, we come back.
Let's say this, 3 years went by, 2021 and I was on Craigslist. I kind of knew that we're going be buying a business pretty soon. I I had some money saved up. I was kinda I've like I I I knew that that's know, I make good money at my job but to to fund kingdom advancement, to send missionaries out, it's like I I I I need to bring in wealth, you know, and that's in business. And so I I knew I I was gonna be buying a business.
I felt it. And here I go and I find this yacht business. This this 50 foot beautiful yacht and basically, it's this business that was already in existence and he was taking people on doing these little 2 and 3 hour cruises and I'm going, the the numbers make sense. All of this looks really cool. Let let's go check this out and I could I could spend 10 minutes on this story but suffice it to say that the lord was in it.
He absolutely confirmed. This is what I want you to do over and over. Yeah. And I named the company Florida Luxury Cruises and we 2, 3, 4, 5 hour cruises. They go out.
We we we get them a beautiful plate of charcuterie. We do all this stuff. And that was last year, 2021. So, to be about about a year ago. 1 of the first problems that I had with my business was the macerator pump was backing up.
How many of guys know what a macerator pump is? 2, 3. The macerator pump's the "poop blender". That's the poop blender on the boat. So, you know, here's Florida luxury cruises and the toilet's backing up and I'm going, what?
What is going on? And by the way, I know nothing about boats. You know, I I'm not a I'm not I'm not a big boat guy. Well, so I had to figure this out. I'm like, what the heck is a masturator pump?
Basically, the masturator pump pulls all the contents of the toilet down. It blends it up and it sends it to the holding tank to where you can you can pump it out later. Well, so I'm calling. I'm calling. I call this guy from Miami and he comes all the way over and we work, man and we get this we get this thing totally changed out all day Saturday, Sunday, just covered in sweat.
Get this thing changed out and now, yeah, yeah, it feels like that. Ah. And and it gets fixed and I go in there now and I press that button and it is like an airline. And I love it. I'm like going in there.
So, I just, half the time, sometimes, I'll just sneak away from the group and press the button, just watch the toilet flush. I never been so happy about to see this toilet flush. It is awesome. But the question is, how do you change a macerator pump as unto the lord? You know, when I've got my contemporaries over there in the mission field, winning souls and I'm called to do this and I'm down in the hull of the boat and I'm going, do every, everything, do everything as unto the lord.
How do you do it? Come on. You know, it's like, do you just not swear? Is that a hall? I wanna go to Solomon.
*1 Kings-10*. You can turn your Bibles there if you have it or it'll be on the screen. Solomon Solomon pulled off 1 of the most amazing feats ever in all of history with what he built. He built a temple so unbelievable and so so such a level of excellence that it's it's it's actually quite amazing just to read especially if you've ever built anything. He he sourced over a 180,000 people in order to do it.
That's about the size of Microsoft. He traded 100 and a 100,000 bushels of weed and a 110,000 gallons of olive oil in order to source cedar logs. Now get this, he had pine, which is by the way what we use for all construction. He had pine and he had some of his own cypress logs, but the best logs known to man, the best wood to use for building was Lebanese cedars. So he traded what he had and he brought in Lebanese cedars.
He had all the stones cut and quarried and cut at the river so that nothing at the temple site would be banging and clanging and and making a bunch of dust. He had it all done away and then brought in. When it was built, he started covering everything in gold. All the all those cedars that he spent time sourcing, he poured gold over him and and covered him in gold. Mean, it was unbelievable and it became famous and the queen of Sheba comes to hear and she says, I've heard about this temple and I wanna know what's going on with it and so yeah, we can pick up right there.
So, this is what the word says and when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cup bearers, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the lord, there was no more spirit in her. Then, she said to the king, it was true, it was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. However, I did not believe the words until I came and saw with my own eyes and indeed the half was not told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame of which I heard. Happy are your men and happy are these servants who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
Blessed be the lord, your god, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel because the lord has loved Israel forever. Therefore, he made you king to do justice and righteousness. I want you to pick up on something. His *wisdom* coupled with his excellence or his opulence or his abundance convinced her of the lord. It wasn't her god.
She said, blessed be the lord your god. She was aware that god was with him just by the atmosphere. And the question is like, how do waiters dress that can point to god? Like, when she saw how the how the food was on the table, like, how do you set a table in order to display god? That's my question.
Was it a lot of food? Was it just shiny? Solomon's wisdom led to a level of excellence that displayed god without any words And that is worship. See, we can over spiritualize things. We want to talk about Jesus.
We want to tell people about Jesus but the question is like, do you show up late to work? Time after time, you know? Do you milk the clock? Do you pad your lunch breaks? Are you clean?
That's a serious question. Do you smile? Like, what's your reputation at work? Do you complain? Do you roll your eyes?
The boss? You know? Do you join in with perverse humor? Do you gossip? Do you swear?
I'll say this, I think I think I've witnessed to more people by not swearing than I have to than I have telling them about Jesus. It's like the weirdest thing. I'll I I don't swear. I'll be around people at work who swear. They'll say, bleepity bleep and the next thing you know, I mean, 3, 5 days in to me working, they'll say bleepity bleep.
Sorry, Gabe. And I'm going. What are you apologizing to me for? What do I have to do with this? And like unbeknownst to me, just following by the simple principles of the lord.
The simple things that are that are known and obvious and clear but we don't want to call them spiritual. You can actually create an atmosphere that changes a place, that testifies of god. That's right. So, I wanna know, can we do this? Can we replicate what Solomon did in our own lives?
Can we do can we make it to where what we set our hands to flourishes in such a way and create such an atmosphere that people can't help but worship god. Can't help but say, oh my god. God is with you. This is clear And I wanna do that. And so I have 5 things for us today of ways that we can implement what Solomon did.
Okay? Can we pull off what Solomon did in our own little corner of the world? Number 1, first of all, you have to be called by *god* to do what it is you're doing. God told David that he wasn't building the temple, that it was Solomon that was gonna build the temple. Solomon was called to build the temple and that's not to be overlooked.
You gotta be called by god into what it is that you're doing, you know, and god has a specific calling on your life. It's not random. It's specific and it's things that are built into you about who you are that are going to come out when you actually follow the calling of god in your life and stop running from it and a lot of times, you know, we'll ask ourselves, well, what do what do I want to be when I grow up or what do I want to do? What do I what do I love to do the most? You know, and those are okay questions but they're not comprehensive questions because god might call you to something that you don't wanna do.
That's right. You know, god can call you to something that scares you or that you would never think to do by yourself and so you don't wanna center around yourself. Oh well, what do I wanna do? Even though sometimes, god will, Bible says, god writes the desires on your heart. He basically gives you the desires of your heart when you are in love with him and so when when he gives you the desires of your heart, you can kind of reference yourself to be able to see, oh, god is calling me to this because it's a desire of my heart but again, it's in conversation with the lord and he'll tell you and a lot of people know.
It's like, I know some people who have known their calling for a long time and just kinda keep doing their own thing. Every time they come back to the lord, they they're hearing the same calling. You gotta be called by god. If you want to have the level of impact that Solomon had in your in your own life, you have to be called by god and you have to follow his calling. That's number 1.
Number 2, I, yeah, I got those on the screen. Perfect. You have to be **anointed to do** what you're doing. This is different than calling, okay? You can be called into something but then you can try to do it your own way.
Yep. Yeah. And that will result in disaster. Yep. I I I'm a good example of this.
I actually knew that I was called into finances for the kingdom early on and and so my thought was, well, let's get started and I would just start business here, start a business there. I'd be trying to do things and I tell you, it's like "dragging yourself through the mud". I couldn't get, I couldn't get anything going at all and that's how you should know. You should be able to assess your life and say, is the anointing of god on this or not? Because if the anointing is on it, you it will be easy.
Yeah. Amen. And it's not that it won't be challenging but it'll be easy. Like, you go up to a door and touch it and the door will swing open. That's the feeling that you'll get in your life when you're like, god has anointed me to do this.
You know, you ever heard, I, you can have a talented singer up here and you could have somebody, you know, super super talented and they can sing a good song but if you've ever heard somebody anointed to sing and you all have, it's like, you have tears running down your face and they might not even be as talented as the talented singer. That's right. So, you have to have the anointing and you want the anointing and that comes by continued relationship with the Holy Spirit. You have to partner with the Holy Spirit throughout the entire process. Your ideas need to be Holy Spirit birthed.
Your time needs to be spent in prayer. You need to have frequent communication with god and even in fact, I would say, you need to always be with god and you need to be running things through the *spirit* like when I have decisions to make on the boat, for instance, like, do I hire this person or hire that person or or do or do I use this contractor or that contractor? I'm listening. Like, I'm listening to god and watching for his signs because he and he directs me and it and it's crazy. I wish I could tell you all the times that he's that he's directed me on things and saved me from things that I shouldn't have done because of the anointing.
I'm gonna I I the the boat has been very successful and I'm gonna continue to be extremely successful as I walk into the anointing and that's what I want for you guys. I want you paying attention to the spirit. I'll give you an example from scripture. Abraham was called to be a father, right? But then he he decided to do it himself, right?
So, it's like, Abraham, he he's like, well, I'm called to be a father. I'm really old. I don't know. God hasn't god hasn't said anything else. So, let's let's have let's have a baby with the maid servant and so he does that, births Ishmael and just brought a bunch of trouble into his life.
You know, and it's like, next thing you know, his maid servant and his son are getting kicked out. His wife's furious. Although, it was her idea. It's like, That's not a commentary on life at all. I'm just, don't take that the wrong way now.
That's all, don't, you're at my whole church. Get me in trouble. Lots of people are birthing Ishmael's because they're unwilling to wait on god to fulfill the calling. Amen? Amen.
So, you guys know there's things that god has told you about and it's like, I can I I I feel like there's people here that that are waiting like when is it going to happen? I know you told me it's going to happen. When is it going to happen? And you gotta wait. You gotta wait until it's his timing.
You gotta operate under the anointing. Don't make it happen yourself. Don't force it. That's right. Right.
It'll cause you trouble. Yeah. If *god called you to something, this is 1 last point with this. The anointing* is there for you to do it, okay? So, if you're called to something that looks scary or or or seems like something that you can't do.
The anointing is actually there for you to do it but it comes only through relationship with the Holy *Spirit* and that brings us right into point number 3. Point number 3, you have to do something that you can't do by yourself. Therefore, it requires faith. *1 Kings-3:7* through 9, I'm gonna read this to you. The Solomon *god* asked him, this was before the temple, long before the temple.
He said, he was he was just a kid, just becoming the king and he said, what is what is it that you want from me? And and he says this, now, oh lord, my god, you have made your servant king instead of my father, David. But I am a "little child". I do not know how to go out or come in and your servant is in the midst of your people whom you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be counted. Therefore, give your servant an understanding heart to judge your people that I may discern between good and evil.
For who is able to judge this great people of yours? You see, Solomon recognized that he was called to something that he couldn't do. He couldn't do it on his own and so he bowed down before the lord and said, god, you have to do this. It's gotta be you. It can't be me.
You know, and without god answering that prayer, Solomon never could have done it. So, it was faith. It was by faith that Solomon did that and if you under, if you read Hebrews, you'll find out it's by faith that everybody in the that that did anything in the Bible worth noting. They did it by faith. That's right.
*God's calling requires faith* because he calls you to things you can't do. Few examples I wrote down, he called stuttering Moses to be the his voice to pharaoh, right? He's like, Moses, you're going go speak to pharaoh. Moses like, but but but but but I can't I stutter. He's like, I'll be your voice.
You know, and Moses didn't want to do it. He called it, he called old Sarah and as good as dead Abraham to conceive a child. Right? That's what the Bible says. I didn't make that up.
He called Abraham to then turn around and sacrifice that child. That's impossible, you know? He called Esther to confront the king even though she could die. Yeah. And he called the Virgin Mary to conceive.
Think of that. Like the list goes on. You have to have faith. You have to walk it out with faith. God will make you able to do the impossible.
But it's not just any impossible thing. It's the thing that you're called to and you're anointed to do. He's calling you into something and it's going to be something that you wouldn't normally do or that you can't do. See, I knew nothing about boats when I bought this business. Let alone yachts.
The entire journey has been a phase journey. I guess I got a little a little bit of time. So, I'm going tell the story. So, in 20 in 21, so this year, actually, it was rated the turn of the year and this shows how far I've come in this journey because I was a totally different person in 2021 when I started with the boat. When I started with the boat, the macerator pump and all that, everything is like causing me anxiety and freaking me out.
You know. It's like, oh my gosh, what am I gonna do? You know, and I've come to a whole new level because I've watched him respond to my faith each time and my faith is actually grown which is what it's supposed to do, right? Faith is like a mustard seed. It grows.
It starts little. It grows big. Leave it in. Give it time. It'll grow.
So, I'm giving it time and I'm and I'm trying and and it's growing and so, here in 2022, right at the turn of the year, we were at Overland Mission Conference again and I I we just got done with worship. Just sitting down about to hear a message and I get a phone call. It's my captain. I know he's on a cruise. I I go out.
He said, listen, Gabe. 1 of the engines is overheating. He he's like, it's smoking. It's burnt. It's burning up and I'm going, okay.
He's like an hour out already. I'm like, well, okay. Throw it in neutral. Put just run it on 1 engine and you know, keep it going. We'll get it back.
We'll deal with it, you know? And and he's like, alright. Alright. Let me just do that or whatever. And I get off the phone and I go back into service and I'm focused and I and I get done and I go, man, god has brought me somewhere because I wasn't sitting there wringing my hands and worrying and going nuts, okay?
Well, let me finish the story because I'll show you exactly why he brought or how I made it. So, I we're leaving the conference. I'm going home and I'm thinking, oh yeah, the engine and so I go, I go, hey, we're going to get home kind of early. Babe, I think I'm just going go out to the boat and I and I was just fired up from this conference. I'm going, I'll just go out there.
*Jesus* will bring it. It's not I who live. It's Jesus who lives in me. It's not my boat anyway. It's his boat.
Let me just walk out there. I'll just go sitting in the engine room and wait for him to give me the answer because I don't know but I'll just sit there and look around and so I did. So, I went out there and I'm like looking and tinkering out. Really know what I'm doing and here comes Nate Grimes too. He comes back.
He wasn't even supposed to be there and I'm already going, what are you doing here? Oh, hey, man. Well, why don't you say he came back for some receipt or something? He work, he works, he's working the boat. Anyway, so so then, I'm fiddling around and I'm finally like, I don't know what's going on and he said and he and he's asking me about overland missions.
So, said, let's just go on the front of the boat. Let's just sit and talk. I sit down for probably 10 seconds. We start, we start talking and my neighbor comes up, Luis, and he says, hey, Gabe, what's going on? I'm like, nothing, man.
I just I've got 1 engine overheating. I don't really know what's going on with it and he's like, so tell me what's happening. I told, I told, give him a little more detail. He says, it's your it's your impeller. It's it's your water pump impeller and I'm going, okay.
What's that? You know, and and he's like and he's described to me. It's it's right here. You know, go in, go, look around this area, and you should find the screws. You take it off, take the housing off, and you'll find the water, the impeller and so I'm like, wait, I think I know what he's talking about because I was reminded of another impeller that someone fixed with me and so I went and and I found it and I'm like, hey, it's these 6 screws.
Let's try it. I take it off. Sure enough, the impeller is all shredded up. I pull it out. I I I'm like, sure.
He's like, yeah, you can get 1 on Amazon. $40. I'm going, Yeah, Jesus. Jesus. And I'm going, Nate, he wanted you to see that because this is how it works.
This is how the faith walk works. It's like, don't let the problems. It's so easy to let the problems make your make make you turmoil like the winds and the waves, right? But it's like with Jesus in the boat, you just you just go. Just go forward.
It's like, it's like when they surrounded him, you know? It's like they surrounded him. He was at the cliff and it says, then he just walked through them. And that's what you can do. You're called to do that.
You're called to just walk through the storm. That wasn't in my notes, so that's free. Alright. Number 4, we're getting through. 2 more points.
You have to do something for someone other than yourself. Yeah, amen. If the goal of your *calling* is centered around you, I question whether or not that god called you to that. Or at least you have more work to do. See, my calling was finances and it was originally very contaminated.
I found myself daydreaming about things that I would buy, maybe wealth that I would have, maybe I'd own a yacht someday. I'm serious and it was all for myself and that's what I was thinking of and god had to purify me of that. He had to teach me that I was called to finances for his kingdom and let me tell you, he did and some of that process where I was trying to start businesses and hurry up and hurry up and let's go and let's go and I'm running out of time and let's make this happen and and exponential growth and blah blah blah. He he's going, you need to wait because you're not ready because I was thinking about it and doing it for myself. At the at now, I am so focused on the kingdom and that's why he brought me through that purification stage and now he can actually trust me with some of these things and and and the craziest thing is, believe it or not, he gave me a yacht.
That's the craziest thing and it's like, you can say, yeah, you wanted it, you wanted it from the beginning and it's like, honestly, you want that boat? I'll give it to you. If god told me to let it go, it's gone. It it does not own me. It has nothing.
It it my hands are so clean with that thing and honestly, it's been more work than any y'all can imagine. I'm sure it's. So, it's like, but it's what I'm called to. So, if you're content, if if you're, if you're, if the end goal is always about yourself, you need to re relook at it. Let him purify you of that.
Solomon built a temple for god. Your number 1 priority needs to be god's kingdom. He says, seek first the kingdom of god. He doesn't say seek it while you're seeking other things. He doesn't say, you know, try try to give a little time every day.
He says, seek first the kingdom of god. Put put everything into seeking after god. Your number 1 priority needs to be god and your next priority is very much like it. Your next priority is others, right? So, he said, love the lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
Amen. If you love your neighbor as yourself, you ought to be thinking of your neighbor at least as often as yourself. Come on. How many of guys have seen the movie Ratatouille? That's a good movie.
There's a lot of there's a lot of crummy Disney movies these days. That movie is so good. And I cried like multiple times in it and I and I didn't even know why. Like she said, she said, "everyone can cook" and I start crying. And I'm going, what is going on?
But I'm not serious. I'm not I'm serious. I sense something in the spirit on this movie and there was a there was there was a scene here and I'm going to read it to you. I was going to show it to you but apparently, that's illegal. So, there's a scene.
I'm going read it to you and and you know, I started crying on the scene and I'm going, god, what am I crying about? Am I just this sponge, soft, boy? Like, come on. And and he and he said and and so and so this is what it is. Remy is this this little mouse and he and and he's running away from his family.
He got thrust out into the world and and he's going through and he's called he's called to be a cook, okay? He is a cook. He's really good at what he's doing and he's running through this house and and he sees some people over there and he's in this little corner of the kitchen and he sees a little piece of bread and he picks it up and he's just about to take a bite and Gusto is the chef who is dead. It's like a little angel on his shoulder, right? It's like god, it's like the god character.
It's his idol, Gusto and he shows up. He's the chef and he says, what are you doing? And Remy says, I'm hungry. I don't know where I am and I don't know when I'll find food again. And Gusteau says, Remy, you are better than that.
You are a cook. A cook makes. A thief takes. You are not a thief. And Remy says, but I am hungry.
And Gusto says, "food will come", Remy. Food always comes to those who love to cook. And I'm like, why am I crying about that god? And he didn't answer me for a while but then like a few weeks in, he made it clear and and and he showed me, see, you got this rat and it's like, okay, first of all, it's a rat. That's what they do.
They go and they scurry and they eat things that aren't theirs but but you know, think of Aladdin like god is still that you gotta eat to live and this is what's like you you're like sympathy is a little dangerous, right? Because you think about Aladdin. It's like, okay, you know, he's poor. You take a little thing. It's kind of funny.
He's got the monkey. They're stealing things here and there and it's like and Gusteau comes along and says, what are you doing? You're stealing and I'm like, sitting there going, I guess that is stealing, ain't it? And he said, buddy, he's hungry, you know, and he calls out his identity. He says, you're not a thief, **you're a cook** 11 through 12 and we're just about done.
It says this, this is Paul exhorting the Thessalonians. He says, that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to "mind your own business", and to work with your own hands as we commanded you, that you may walk properly. Notice he doesn't say talk properly. That you may walk properly toward those who are outside. That you may lack nothing.
My mom recently told me she was praying and she said, you know, lord, I haven't been doing much for you. I don't serve in church. I don't really I feel like a little underutilized god. I pray if you know, if you want me to do anything, I pray you show me. I I want my hands to be used for you.
I pray you'd show me. Well, within about a week or so, she gets called up from a friend who does these catheter bags like it's a little ministry that she does. She basically, my mom sews and so she called and asked, could you could you could you create like 20 or 10 of these catheter bags? So, you know, it's basically like for hospice patients who are in the hospital or in hospice in their last days of life, they have a Foley catheter which is a catheter that drains their bladder into a clear bag so the nurse can see how much urine they're making but it's sitting there at the side of the bed. They usually have all their family around them.
They're nearby and it's like, who wants that? So, so they make these catheter bags and and and my mom is like, catheter bags? Alright. That's what the lord has told me to do. Alright and you know, so she goes and and but then she's telling me, you know, then I realized, it's like, I realized all this.
It's like, you you're "creating dignity" for someone, you know? You're covering up the thing that ought to be covered up. It's the waste and it ought to be covered up and put away and you're saying, you're actually declaring just by making this bag to cover it and making something beautiful and handmade that goes around that. You're saying, you're not dust, okay? Like, you're not nothing.
*God breathed life into you. You have divinity* in you and you're important and you're worth me taking my time to make something for you. And so it's so powerful and so I think think we can implement this into every little corner of our life, you know, and to how you do your my woodworking hobby, you know? It's like attention to detail, the little things. And so it doesn't always have to be big.
So, lord, I just thank you god for this message. I thank you for what you've done in me. I thank you Jesus that that that you exemplified this. You know, you showed, you showed this through every day in your life. And I just pray god that we are able to implement this stuff.
We do it by your spirit and we do it by faith and we don't try to work for your glory but we work out of faith. Faith without works is dead and so we work out of the faith knowing that we are sons and daughters of you. So, we love you, Jesus.
