A Daily Dose of Inspiration...30-minute Uplift

[00:00:09] Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome back to 12th Street Talk Back, the home of the Daily Dose. It's your girl, Victoria J. Welcome to the party, y'all. Welcome to the party. Good morning, good morning, good morning. You know what? Today is going to be a short read as I was in it yesterday and back in it this morning. I saw how short it was. So we'll see where the spirit leads us.

[00:00:37] But for now, let's go ahead and give God some praise. Heavenly Father, we bless your name today. We thank you for breathing your breath into our bodies on this day. We thank you, Father God, for being our rock, our shield, our fortress. We thank you, Lord, for your grace and your mercy because we know that it is new every single day. You are sovereignly in control. Everything on earth, everything in heaven is yours.

[00:01:06] We thank you, Lord, for our grace and your mercy. We thank you, Lord, for our lives, for our family, our friends, our neighbors. We thank you, Lord, on this day that you are our rock, our fortress and our shield.

[00:01:21] Oh, great God. We thank you, Lord, for blessing those that have ears to hear today. We thank you for the fellowship.

[00:01:29] Heavenly Father, those that are traveling today, give them travel, grace and mercy.

[00:01:37] The sick and shut in, Father God, bless them from the crowns of their heads to the soles of their feet.

[00:01:43] Bless us this day, Father God, from the crowns of our head to the soles of our feet.

[00:01:51] Let your light shine through us so that you can get the glory.

[00:01:57] Let us be anxious for nothing this day, but do everything in prayer, supplication.

[00:02:05] Let us, as we do right now, make our requests known to you.

[00:02:13] Lord, we thank you this day that we can dwell in our secret place with you,

[00:02:22] that we can abide under your shadow, and we take nothing for granted that you're doing in our lives.

[00:02:30] In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen, amen, and amen.

[00:02:38] So guys, let's get it today. Let's get it. Let's go ahead and read chapter 12.

[00:02:44] As we found out yesterday, we don't make promises to God that we cannot keep.

[00:02:49] You better be ready to keep that promise that you make to him.

[00:02:53] And also, it's a lesson to be learned in that because we go around asking God to deliver us from so many things,

[00:03:02] to bless us with so many things in our lives.

[00:03:05] Whether we have someone that's sick, whether we're sick, financial problems, spiritual problems.

[00:03:17] Deliver us out of our enemies' hands.

[00:03:20] Going over the psalm.

[00:03:22] David said that all the time.

[00:03:26] Deliver me from my enemies.

[00:03:29] And we say it too.

[00:03:31] But then when it comes to us following through and being obedient,

[00:03:38] we get sidetracked.

[00:03:40] And again, we ask and we expect God to continue to make good on his word.

[00:03:49] Because he did tell us in his word,

[00:03:51] remind me of my words.

[00:03:55] That heaven and earth shall pass away before my word will return to me void.

[00:04:00] And we're quick to do that.

[00:04:03] But as we get into his word,

[00:04:07] we find out that there's some things that we've made promises to God,

[00:04:14] or maybe some things in our lives that we need to straighten out.

[00:04:20] So instead of murmuring and complaining about them,

[00:04:25] how about we meditate on God's word?

[00:04:28] Find something in his word

[00:04:31] that can strengthen us,

[00:04:33] that make us a little bit more obedient

[00:04:36] in our daily walk with him.

[00:04:39] Put down our burdens,

[00:04:41] pick up his.

[00:04:43] Let him guide us.

[00:04:45] Let the Holy Spirit lead you,

[00:04:51] feed you some of that wisdom,

[00:04:54] that understanding.

[00:04:58] It'll put you in deep thought.

[00:05:01] And as he said,

[00:05:03] meditate on my word night and day.

[00:05:05] Go into prayer without cease.

[00:05:09] No judgment,

[00:05:11] no condemnation on anyone else.

[00:05:14] Let your light shine.

[00:05:17] You do what you need to do.

[00:05:19] As my word said,

[00:05:20] let me come along and give the increase.

[00:05:23] Let me come along and water you.

[00:05:27] Be obedient

[00:05:28] to my statutes and commandments.

[00:05:31] Don't take it lightly.

[00:05:35] And I'll do the rest.

[00:05:36] Because after all,

[00:05:38] he says,

[00:05:39] I hold the earth in the palm of my hand.

[00:05:42] Chapter 12,

[00:05:44] Judges.

[00:05:44] I'm reading out of my King James today.

[00:05:48] And the men of Ephraim

[00:05:49] gathered themselves together

[00:05:51] and went northward

[00:05:53] and sent into Jephthah,

[00:05:54] where there are paths that over

[00:05:56] and fight against the children of Ammon

[00:05:58] and did not call us to go with thee.

[00:06:01] We will burn the house

[00:06:03] upon thee with fire.

[00:06:05] And Jephthah said unto them,

[00:06:06] I and my people were at great strife

[00:06:08] with the children of Ammon.

[00:06:10] And when I called you,

[00:06:12] ye delivered me not

[00:06:13] out of their hands.

[00:06:16] And when I saw that ye delivered me not,

[00:06:18] I put my life in my hands

[00:06:21] and passed over against the children of Ammon.

[00:06:23] And the Lord delivered them into my hand,

[00:06:26] where therefore then are ye come up,

[00:06:29] come up unto me this day

[00:06:32] to fight against me.

[00:06:34] Then Jephthah gathered together

[00:06:37] all the men of Gilead

[00:06:39] and fought with Ephraim.

[00:06:41] The men of Gilead

[00:06:43] smote Ephraim

[00:06:44] because they said,

[00:06:46] Ye Gileanites are fugitives

[00:06:48] of Ephraim

[00:06:50] among the Ephraimites

[00:06:51] and among the Manessites.

[00:06:53] And the Gileadites

[00:06:56] took the passage of Jordan

[00:06:58] before the Ephraimites.

[00:07:00] And it was so

[00:07:01] that when those Ephraimites

[00:07:03] which were escaped said,

[00:07:05] Let me go over.

[00:07:07] that the men of Gilead

[00:07:09] said unto him,

[00:07:11] Are there Ephraimite?

[00:07:13] If he say nay,

[00:07:14] then they said unto him,

[00:07:16] Say now Shibboleth.

[00:07:18] And he said Sibboleth,

[00:07:20] for he could not frame

[00:07:21] to pronounce it right.

[00:07:23] Then they took him

[00:07:25] and slew him

[00:07:25] at the passage of the Jordan.

[00:07:28] And there fell at that time

[00:07:31] of the Ephraimites,

[00:07:33] 40 and 2000.

[00:07:35] And Jephthah,

[00:07:36] the judge Israel,

[00:07:37] six years,

[00:07:38] then died.

[00:07:39] Jephthah,

[00:07:40] the Gileadite,

[00:07:41] and was buried

[00:07:42] in one of the cities

[00:07:43] of Gilead.

[00:07:45] And after him,

[00:07:47] Ilzhan,

[00:07:48] Ilzhan of Bethlehem,

[00:07:51] the judge Israel.

[00:07:52] And he had 30 sons

[00:07:54] and 30 daughters

[00:07:55] whom he set abroad

[00:07:57] and took in 30 daughters

[00:07:59] from abroad

[00:07:59] for his sons.

[00:08:01] And he judged Israel

[00:08:02] seven years,

[00:08:04] then died.

[00:08:05] Isban,

[00:08:06] Isban,

[00:08:08] and was buried

[00:08:10] at Bethlehem.

[00:08:12] And after him,

[00:08:13] Ilan,

[00:08:14] a Zebunite,

[00:08:15] judged Israel.

[00:08:15] And he judged Israel

[00:08:17] ten years.

[00:08:19] And Ilan,

[00:08:21] the Zebunite,

[00:08:22] died

[00:08:22] and was buried

[00:08:23] in Agilon

[00:08:24] in the country

[00:08:26] of Zebulun.

[00:08:27] And after him,

[00:08:29] Abdon,

[00:08:30] the son of Hilioth,

[00:08:31] a Parathonite,

[00:08:33] judged Israel.

[00:08:34] And he had 40 sons

[00:08:37] and 30 nephews

[00:08:38] that rode

[00:08:38] on three scores

[00:08:40] and ten ass coats.

[00:08:42] And he judged Israel

[00:08:44] eight years.

[00:08:46] And Abdon,

[00:08:47] the son of Hilioth,

[00:08:49] the Parathonite,

[00:08:50] died

[00:08:51] and was buried

[00:08:52] in Parathon

[00:08:53] in the land

[00:08:54] of Ephraim

[00:08:55] in the mount

[00:08:57] of the

[00:08:59] Amalekites.

[00:09:00] Ephraim,

[00:09:01] and that was

[00:09:02] Judges chapter

[00:09:03] 12.

[00:09:08] You know,

[00:09:14] these

[00:09:16] Ephraim,

[00:09:18] Ephraim,

[00:09:19] Ephraim,

[00:09:20] I can never

[00:09:21] say that, guys.

[00:09:23] Half of these words

[00:09:23] I can never say.

[00:09:25] But I'm trying.

[00:09:28] They are something.

[00:09:32] They're displeasured

[00:09:36] with Jephthah

[00:09:37] because

[00:09:38] he didn't call them

[00:09:39] in the beginning

[00:09:40] to assist them.

[00:09:43] Doesn't this

[00:09:44] sound like

[00:09:45] what he did

[00:09:47] with Gideon?

[00:09:51] So now,

[00:09:53] this pride,

[00:09:55] like with most of us,

[00:09:57] gets in the way.

[00:10:01] It gets in the way.

[00:10:05] Here again,

[00:10:07] why did thou

[00:10:08] not call us

[00:10:10] to go with thee?

[00:10:12] Well,

[00:10:13] as I did a little bit

[00:10:14] of investigation,

[00:10:16] it said for good reason

[00:10:18] because it was

[00:10:19] the men

[00:10:19] of Gilead

[00:10:20] that had made

[00:10:22] him their captain,

[00:10:24] not the men

[00:10:25] of Ephraim

[00:10:27] so that

[00:10:27] he had

[00:10:28] no authority

[00:10:29] to call them.

[00:10:34] That is what

[00:10:35] my Matthew

[00:10:36] Henry said

[00:10:37] to me

[00:10:38] and I thought

[00:10:39] about that.

[00:10:41] I thought

[00:10:42] about

[00:10:43] how the men

[00:10:46] of Ephraim

[00:10:47] had did this

[00:10:49] to Gideon.

[00:10:52] Why didn't you

[00:10:53] call us?

[00:10:53] Why didn't you

[00:10:54] call us?

[00:10:56] I always want

[00:10:57] to be somewhere

[00:10:58] front and center.

[00:11:00] Pride

[00:11:01] to whereas

[00:11:08] they're

[00:11:09] squirreling

[00:11:09] in camp,

[00:11:12] fighting one

[00:11:13] another.

[00:11:14] and then

[00:11:15] it made me

[00:11:15] think about

[00:11:16] it in our

[00:11:17] daily lives

[00:11:18] as we

[00:11:18] would do

[00:11:19] with our

[00:11:20] family and

[00:11:21] our friends.

[00:11:23] Same way

[00:11:23] it made me

[00:11:24] think about

[00:11:24] it yesterday

[00:11:25] about the

[00:11:26] promises

[00:11:26] that

[00:11:27] we make

[00:11:28] to God

[00:11:29] in our

[00:11:30] blind

[00:11:30] ignorance,

[00:11:32] in our

[00:11:33] immature

[00:11:33] walk with

[00:11:34] him,

[00:11:35] immature

[00:11:35] spirituality,

[00:11:39] the things

[00:11:40] that God

[00:11:40] will forgive

[00:11:41] and what

[00:11:42] he won't

[00:11:42] forgive.

[00:11:42] he said

[00:11:44] we will

[00:11:44] be judged

[00:11:44] by our

[00:11:45] words,

[00:11:49] how we

[00:11:50] can fight

[00:11:50] amongst each

[00:11:51] other,

[00:11:52] sometimes

[00:11:52] in our

[00:11:53] families,

[00:11:54] and we

[00:11:55] can hold

[00:11:56] tight to

[00:11:56] things

[00:11:58] that is

[00:11:59] just pure

[00:12:00] nonsense,

[00:12:03] that pride.

[00:12:06] It'll rear

[00:12:07] its evil,

[00:12:09] ugly head

[00:12:12] in a New

[00:12:12] York minute.

[00:12:14] And those

[00:12:15] of us that are

[00:12:15] walking with

[00:12:16] Christ,

[00:12:17] we know

[00:12:18] it's not

[00:12:18] that person.

[00:12:20] We know

[00:12:21] that it

[00:12:22] is that

[00:12:24] spirit that's

[00:12:25] on that

[00:12:26] person,

[00:12:26] which brought

[00:12:29] me to another

[00:12:30] thought.

[00:12:31] We have to

[00:12:31] be careful

[00:12:32] around certain

[00:12:33] people,

[00:12:35] certain spirits.

[00:12:40] We have

[00:12:41] to.

[00:12:42] We have

[00:12:43] to protect

[00:12:44] our eye

[00:12:45] gate,

[00:12:45] our ear

[00:12:46] gate,

[00:12:46] our mouth

[00:12:47] gate.

[00:12:50] We have

[00:12:50] to go in

[00:12:51] prayer.

[00:12:52] These days

[00:12:53] and back

[00:12:54] then,

[00:12:54] just about

[00:12:56] everything.

[00:12:57] It also

[00:12:57] reminds me

[00:12:58] that in

[00:13:01] my 20s,

[00:13:02] as I was

[00:13:03] starting out

[00:13:03] as a young

[00:13:04] mother,

[00:13:05] my mother

[00:13:05] used to

[00:13:05] say to me

[00:13:06] all the

[00:13:06] time,

[00:13:06] Victoria,

[00:13:09] you feel

[00:13:09] like if

[00:13:10] you can't

[00:13:11] do it,

[00:13:11] it cannot

[00:13:11] be done.

[00:13:13] And at

[00:13:14] that time,

[00:13:15] I was so

[00:13:15] wet behind

[00:13:16] the ears,

[00:13:17] I didn't

[00:13:18] know A

[00:13:19] from B.

[00:13:20] But as I

[00:13:20] got older,

[00:13:21] I understood

[00:13:22] what she

[00:13:22] was saying

[00:13:22] because she

[00:13:23] always put

[00:13:24] things in

[00:13:25] a way

[00:13:26] that referred

[00:13:27] to God

[00:13:29] is sitting

[00:13:30] up high,

[00:13:31] he's looking

[00:13:32] down low,

[00:13:34] all things

[00:13:35] are in

[00:13:36] his hands.

[00:13:37] Everything

[00:13:38] on earth

[00:13:39] and everything

[00:13:40] in heaven

[00:13:41] is his.

[00:13:43] So don't

[00:13:44] think that

[00:13:45] you're doing

[00:13:46] anything in

[00:13:47] your own

[00:13:47] will.

[00:13:51] God woke

[00:13:51] you up this

[00:13:52] morning.

[00:13:52] He breathed

[00:13:53] his breath

[00:13:53] in your body.

[00:13:54] He foreknew

[00:13:55] you when you

[00:13:58] were in my

[00:13:59] womb.

[00:14:00] Everything

[00:14:01] that you're

[00:14:01] doing in

[00:14:02] your life

[00:14:02] is because

[00:14:04] God decided

[00:14:05] to let

[00:14:06] you.

[00:14:09] And as I

[00:14:10] walk this

[00:14:13] journey in

[00:14:15] my early

[00:14:15] 50s,

[00:14:16] I'm starting

[00:14:18] to see

[00:14:19] everything

[00:14:21] that my

[00:14:22] parents and

[00:14:23] my grandparents

[00:14:23] instilled in

[00:14:24] me come

[00:14:25] back full

[00:14:26] circle.

[00:14:28] And I'm

[00:14:29] happy to

[00:14:30] say today

[00:14:31] I'm still

[00:14:35] here.

[00:14:36] That I'm

[00:14:38] still here.

[00:14:41] And every

[00:14:43] bit of

[00:14:43] advice

[00:14:43] that they

[00:14:45] gave me

[00:14:46] I can

[00:14:47] start to

[00:14:48] apply it

[00:14:49] to my

[00:14:49] life

[00:14:50] now that

[00:14:51] I'm walking

[00:14:52] with my

[00:14:53] spiritual

[00:14:53] eyes open.

[00:14:55] Not my

[00:14:56] carnal mind,

[00:14:57] my carnal

[00:14:58] eyesight,

[00:14:59] my carnal

[00:15:00] ears,

[00:15:01] and all

[00:15:05] that stuff

[00:15:06] flooding out

[00:15:07] of my

[00:15:07] mouth.

[00:15:10] We all

[00:15:11] still have

[00:15:12] things that

[00:15:13] we need

[00:15:15] to pull

[00:15:15] up on.

[00:15:18] Time

[00:15:19] and patience

[00:15:20] is something

[00:15:20] that we

[00:15:21] don't give

[00:15:22] to one

[00:15:22] another.

[00:15:24] But we're

[00:15:24] the first

[00:15:25] ones

[00:15:27] wanting to

[00:15:28] God to

[00:15:28] give it

[00:15:28] to us.

[00:15:29] We're the

[00:15:29] first ones

[00:15:30] holding God

[00:15:31] to his

[00:15:31] word.

[00:15:34] And we

[00:15:35] won't hold

[00:15:36] ourselves

[00:15:36] accountable

[00:15:38] to the

[00:15:38] things that

[00:15:39] we say

[00:15:39] to others,

[00:15:40] do to

[00:15:40] others,

[00:15:41] or most

[00:15:43] importantly,

[00:15:43] say to

[00:15:44] God.

[00:15:45] How some

[00:15:46] of us can

[00:15:47] turn our

[00:15:48] back on

[00:15:48] him,

[00:15:48] but he's

[00:15:51] still right

[00:15:52] where we

[00:15:54] left him

[00:15:55] because he

[00:15:55] never leaves

[00:15:56] us.

[00:15:57] We always

[00:15:58] leave him.

[00:16:02] But we

[00:16:03] serve such a

[00:16:04] gracious God

[00:16:05] that when we

[00:16:09] decide that

[00:16:10] we've bumped

[00:16:11] our head

[00:16:11] enough up

[00:16:12] against that

[00:16:12] brick wall,

[00:16:14] he's still

[00:16:15] standing there

[00:16:16] with his

[00:16:17] arms wide

[00:16:19] open.

[00:16:21] And I

[00:16:22] thank God

[00:16:22] today that

[00:16:23] he is still

[00:16:24] sitting in

[00:16:26] that seat of

[00:16:26] mercy,

[00:16:30] that his

[00:16:31] grace and

[00:16:31] mercy is

[00:16:32] sufficient.

[00:16:33] I was reading

[00:16:37] the other day

[00:16:37] in Luke,

[00:16:39] and I came

[00:16:40] across a

[00:16:41] passage that

[00:16:41] said,

[00:16:42] if any

[00:16:43] man will

[00:16:45] come to

[00:16:46] me,

[00:16:47] let him

[00:16:49] deny himself

[00:16:50] and take up

[00:16:54] his cross

[00:16:54] daily.

[00:16:59] How many

[00:16:59] of us

[00:17:01] deny

[00:17:02] ourselves?

[00:17:06] I'm

[00:17:06] striving

[00:17:07] daily

[00:17:09] denying

[00:17:09] myself

[00:17:11] daily.

[00:17:13] I'm

[00:17:13] striving,

[00:17:15] putting

[00:17:15] down my

[00:17:16] burdens

[00:17:17] and letting

[00:17:20] God clothe

[00:17:20] me in his

[00:17:21] righteousness.

[00:17:23] Remembering

[00:17:24] when I wake

[00:17:25] up that it's

[00:17:26] his grace

[00:17:26] that woke

[00:17:27] me up.

[00:17:27] It's his

[00:17:28] will for

[00:17:30] me to

[00:17:31] breathe.

[00:17:31] That somebody

[00:17:32] this morning

[00:17:33] didn't have

[00:17:34] the same

[00:17:35] opportunity

[00:17:37] that he

[00:17:38] has given

[00:17:38] me.

[00:17:40] Somebody

[00:17:41] this morning

[00:17:42] don't have

[00:17:46] a roof

[00:17:46] over their

[00:17:46] head,

[00:17:47] don't know

[00:17:48] where their

[00:17:49] next meal

[00:17:49] coming from,

[00:17:50] don't know

[00:17:51] Jesus.

[00:17:54] Somebody

[00:17:54] this morning,

[00:17:57] Satan

[00:17:58] has had

[00:17:58] his way

[00:18:00] in their

[00:18:00] life so

[00:18:03] long that

[00:18:05] all they

[00:18:05] know is

[00:18:06] of the

[00:18:07] name Jesus.

[00:18:09] They don't

[00:18:10] know that

[00:18:11] they can lay

[00:18:12] down their

[00:18:12] burden.

[00:18:14] call out

[00:18:15] his name.

[00:18:18] Make a

[00:18:19] covenant

[00:18:20] with them.

[00:18:25] Make that

[00:18:25] covenant

[00:18:26] with God.

[00:18:28] Deny

[00:18:29] themselves

[00:18:30] and make

[00:18:31] that covenant

[00:18:32] with him.

[00:18:35] So as

[00:18:36] all of this

[00:18:39] swirled around

[00:18:40] in my head

[00:18:41] yesterday

[00:18:42] and the day

[00:18:42] before,

[00:18:44] it reminded

[00:18:45] me that I

[00:18:48] still got a

[00:18:48] little bit of

[00:18:49] cleaning up

[00:18:49] to do.

[00:18:51] God,

[00:18:51] but I

[00:18:52] thank God

[00:18:52] that on a

[00:18:54] daily basis

[00:18:56] he gives

[00:18:57] me something

[00:18:58] out of his

[00:18:58] word to

[00:19:00] work on

[00:19:00] that I can

[00:19:05] redeem myself

[00:19:06] with him

[00:19:08] as long as I

[00:19:09] stay in his

[00:19:11] living word.

[00:19:13] Keep my

[00:19:14] eyes on the

[00:19:15] kingdom of

[00:19:15] heaven and

[00:19:16] all God's

[00:19:17] righteousness.

[00:19:19] Meditate on

[00:19:20] his word

[00:19:20] night and

[00:19:21] day.

[00:19:22] Pray without

[00:19:23] ceasing.

[00:19:25] Form a

[00:19:25] relationship

[00:19:26] because we

[00:19:31] never know

[00:19:33] when our

[00:19:33] expected end

[00:19:35] is going to

[00:19:35] come.

[00:19:38] With that

[00:19:39] being said

[00:19:39] guys,

[00:19:40] peace and

[00:19:40] blessings to

[00:19:41] you all.

[00:19:43] Hopefully

[00:19:43] we'll be back

[00:19:44] in the house

[00:19:44] on Thursday

[00:19:45] or tomorrow.

[00:19:48] If not,

[00:19:49] we'll be

[00:19:49] definitely back

[00:19:49] in the house

[00:19:50] on Friday.

[00:19:52] Freedom

[00:19:52] Friday's girl

[00:19:53] chat with

[00:19:54] my girl

[00:19:55] Miss Riri.

[00:19:56] We got some

[00:19:57] guests coming

[00:19:57] up.

[00:19:58] after the

[00:19:59] holidays.

[00:20:00] I kind of

[00:20:01] want to

[00:20:01] cruise through

[00:20:02] December

[00:20:05] guest spree.

[00:20:08] But we do

[00:20:09] have some

[00:20:10] things coming

[00:20:10] up in

[00:20:11] January.

[00:20:12] For those

[00:20:13] of you that

[00:20:14] don't follow

[00:20:14] me on any

[00:20:15] of your audio

[00:20:16] platforms like

[00:20:17] Spotify,

[00:20:18] Apple,

[00:20:19] Amazon,

[00:20:20] GoodPods,

[00:20:23] PodChaser,

[00:20:24] Bullhorn,

[00:20:25] which is a

[00:20:28] website that

[00:20:29] we have a

[00:20:29] 1-800-2.

[00:20:31] Go on over

[00:20:32] and follow

[00:20:33] me by

[00:20:33] audio.

[00:20:35] Your girl's

[00:20:35] getting back

[00:20:36] into a

[00:20:37] little bit

[00:20:38] more of

[00:20:38] her audio.

[00:20:40] I was

[00:20:41] trying to

[00:20:41] get this

[00:20:42] YouTube

[00:20:42] media channel

[00:20:43] up and

[00:20:43] running and

[00:20:44] I think

[00:20:45] we're well

[00:20:46] on our

[00:20:47] way.

[00:20:47] Started this

[00:20:48] last November.

[00:20:50] Been

[00:20:50] concentrating

[00:20:51] on God's

[00:20:53] word and

[00:20:53] the message,

[00:20:54] the daily

[00:20:54] dose.

[00:20:55] But we're

[00:20:56] going to

[00:20:56] tap into

[00:20:57] some things

[00:20:57] that's going

[00:20:58] on in our

[00:20:58] community,

[00:20:58] some things

[00:20:59] that's going

[00:20:59] on in our

[00:21:00] country and

[00:21:04] you can find

[00:21:04] that over

[00:21:06] on one of

[00:21:06] your other

[00:21:07] listening platforms.

[00:21:08] Peace and

[00:21:09] blessings until

[00:21:10] next time.

[00:21:12] If you can't

[00:21:13] do anything

[00:21:13] for anybody

[00:21:14] else,

[00:21:15] a kind

[00:21:16] word

[00:21:16] costs

[00:21:17] nothing.

[00:21:18] Hot meal,

[00:21:19] it goes a

[00:21:20] long,

[00:21:21] long way.

[00:21:22] Tis the

[00:21:22] season.

[00:21:23] Donate some

[00:21:24] of your

[00:21:24] time.

[00:21:26] Donate

[00:21:27] something.

[00:21:28] Give your

[00:21:28] time.

[00:21:30] I'm reminded

[00:21:31] last year,

[00:21:33] I challenged

[00:21:34] myself every

[00:21:35] time I went

[00:21:36] out somewhere,

[00:21:37] whether it

[00:21:38] was to go

[00:21:38] grab a

[00:21:39] breakfast

[00:21:40] sandwich,

[00:21:41] dollar store,

[00:21:42] whatever was

[00:21:43] in my means.

[00:21:44] Made myself

[00:21:45] promise that I

[00:21:46] would pay for

[00:21:47] the person

[00:21:47] behind me.

[00:21:49] I went

[00:21:50] that week

[00:21:51] and I

[00:21:51] successfully

[00:21:53] completed

[00:21:54] everything

[00:21:56] for those

[00:21:57] seven days

[00:21:58] I set out

[00:21:59] to do

[00:22:00] with little

[00:22:01] or no

[00:22:03] money,

[00:22:04] but God

[00:22:05] made a way.

[00:22:06] It's the

[00:22:06] little things

[00:22:07] that people

[00:22:08] remember

[00:22:09] because you

[00:22:10] never know

[00:22:11] what kind

[00:22:12] of day

[00:22:12] they may

[00:22:13] be having.

[00:22:14] Pay it

[00:22:15] forward.

[00:22:15] Peace and

[00:22:16] blessings.
