00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: This day, we will be meditating on Ecclesiastes, chapter three,

28
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: verse eleven from the King James version. He hath made

29
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: everything beautiful in his time. Also, he hath set the

30
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: world in their heart so that no man can find

31
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: out the work that God maketh from the beginning to

32
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: the end. Take a moment to pour out your adoration

33
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: to God. God. I praise you for your word that

34
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: never fails. All your work is done in faithfulness. I

35
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: worship you for setting eternity in my heart. I give

36
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: you praise for the beauty you have in store for

37
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: my life. I exalt you, Lord for the wonderful things

38
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: to come. I praise you for the plans you have

39
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: conceived for my life. Are good. God creates beauty, from ashes.

40
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe this truth when you are living

41
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: in the ash, when your world is crumbling in around

42
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: you and you feel powerless to stop it. Sometimes, as

43
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: if going through fire, you find yourself choking on despair

44
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: and burned by loss. In these times, fear threatens to

45
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: become greater than faith. Do not give up. Even if

46
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: you do not understand what is happening. You can trust

47
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: that God has a purpose and a plan. You cannot

48
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: have beauty if you hold onto the ashes. Confess your

49
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: losses to God. Hand over your ashes to him. Now

50
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: consider for a moment God's work in your life and

51
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: thank him for it. Thank God that even through your

52
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: doubt and fear, he remains faithful. Thank the Lord that

53
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: when you go through the fire, the flames will not

54
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: destroy you. Thank Him because He is in control and

55
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: he has a beautiful plan for your life. Thank Him

56
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: for continuously working in your life. Thank Him because at

57
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: the right time, he makes all things be as they should.

58
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 1: God is present and he is listening to you. God

59
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: promised that he is working on a celestial masterpiece and

60
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: you are a part of it. You must hold on

61
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: to faith. This is your moment to reach out to

62
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: God to ask him to fill your canvas with wondrous

63
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: and beautiful colors. Ask God to fill you with the

64
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: hope of his purpose and his plan. Ask Him to

65
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: give you the courage and the perseverance to hold on.

66
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: Ask the Holy Spirit to minister the truth of God's

67
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: word and his promise in your heart. Ask God to

68
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: exchange your ashes for beauty. Remember, although God has given

69
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: us a desire for the future, we can never completely

70
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: understand what He is doing. We must have faith in

71
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: His word, faith that God knows what he is doing.

72
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: For God knows all things, and he does everything at

73
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: the right time. Be encouraged. God has pleasant and amazing

74
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: plans in store for you. Sees this day to call

75
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: on Jesus and do so, expecting him to not only

76
00:05:53,760 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: answer you, but to bless you beyond measure. Thank you
