I believe that 42 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 4: you did. But you know, there's too many people that 43 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: allow their circumstance to dictate their attitude. They don't even 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 4: realize that their attitude is a choice that they make 45 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: every single day. See, the Bible tells us to consistently 46 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 4: and constantly put on this fresh new mental attitude. See, 47 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 4: we choose the way we see life. We can either 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 4: look at what's good in life and decide to be 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 4: grateful about that, or we can look at what didn't 50 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 4: work out and how things didn't go our way and 51 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 4: allow it to give us a negative perspective on life. 52 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 4: We've all heard that saying the glass half full or 53 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: the glass half empty. You see that saying is so 54 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 4: timeless because it makes such an amazing point. See, the 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 4: water in the glass is the same amount. It's just 56 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 4: how one chooses to see the water that makes all 57 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: the difference in the world. I know this girl that 58 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: kind of always had a bend towards negative. You could 59 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: ask her how you doing today, and it was almost funny. 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: You could predict she was going to start telling you 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 4: the things that were going wrong in her life. One day, 62 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: she said, Oh, I was late to work. I had 63 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 4: to take my children to the doctor. The doctor didn't 64 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: open till nine o'clock. She said, Now I have to 65 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: stay late at the office because there's so much work 66 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: for me to do. And you know, you're listening to 67 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: this and it almost makes you grin because you're thinking 68 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 4: you're kidding, right. Then she goes on to say, my 69 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 4: house is a disaster when I get home late from work. 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: My husband doesn't know how to work the vacuum cleaner, 71 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: he doesn't know to how to work the dishwasher, on 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: and on. And you know, when you listen to this, 73 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: you realize, you know what, she probably got a pretty 74 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 4: good husband. In fact, I know her husband, and he's 75 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: a good man. He has a good job, he works hard, 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: he loves to take the kids out on Saturdays, and 77 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: she can have the whole house to herself. But instead 78 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 4: of looking at the richness in her life, she chooses 79 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: to look at the negative. And when you begin to 80 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 4: focus on the negative, you know what you see more negative. 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 4: And when you see this negative, it's like swimming against 82 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,119 Speaker 4: the current. It's just a struggle. It's difficult and it's hard. 83 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 4: I believe that we need to learn how to manage 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 4: our thoughts. We need to learn how to rearrange our 85 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: thoughts so that we can literally see what we have 86 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: and then enjoy what we have. The other day, I 87 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 4: walked past one room in my house. It's my living room, 88 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: and sometimes when I go in there, I think I 89 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 4: don't like the way this room looks. In fact, I thought, 90 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 4: I wish I could just get rid of all this 91 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: furniture and start over. That would be so amazing. I 92 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: all found myself walking by the passed the room several times, 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 4: you know, as the days went on, and looking in 94 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: there and having just really negative attitude towards that room, 95 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 4: almost like ugh. And then I realized, I'm not going 96 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 4: to be getting any new furniture anytime soon, so I 97 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 4: better just go in there and rearrange the furniture. So 98 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 4: I began shifting the furniture, putting towels under the legs 99 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 4: of the couch. How many of you women to pulling 100 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: that couch scooting everything around, you know. By the time 101 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 4: I finally finished, I stepped back and I looked at 102 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: that room and I thought, I like this room. This 103 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 4: looks really good. I went and got myself a cup 104 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 4: of tea, sat on the couch. I thought, I've never 105 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 4: seen that piece of furniture from that perspective. That really 106 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: looks good. The way that curves are around there. You see, 107 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: I was able to have a fresh new attitude about 108 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 4: that room. I was able to see it differently because 109 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 4: I rearranged it and just the way I I rearranged 110 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 4: my furniture. We need to rearrange our thoughts. We need 111 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: to push our thoughts around so our thoughts don't push 112 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 4: us around. You know, when you get down and discouraged, 113 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 4: you need to recognize what it is and you need 114 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: to stop and think what am I thinking about? And 115 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: I think oftentimes we need to rearrange our thoughts in 116 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: simple ways. One, we need to be grateful, but sometimes 117 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 4: we just need to change the atmosphere that we're in. 118 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: Have you ever been working in the office and you're 119 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: you're tired, and you think, you know what I just 120 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 4: need to break? Maybe you need to walk outside and 121 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 4: begin to look at the trees and the sunshine and 122 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 4: the sky, and the buds on the flower, the texture 123 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: of the bark, and begin to just say, isn't that 124 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 4: beautiful what God has created? To just stop and think 125 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 4: about something differently, you see. I believe sometimes if we'll 126 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: simply just change our routine, maybe there's some things that 127 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 4: we're doing that we need to not be doing anymore. 128 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: A friend of mine said that every day she would 129 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 4: go out to lunch with the same group of people, 130 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 4: and she loved her friends and all, but when she 131 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 4: got back to work, it was just like, oh man, 132 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: I've got half a day to go. She made this 133 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 4: conscious decision. She said, you know, I don't like the 134 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: way I'm feeling about my job. How I'm just being 135 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 4: so mundane about it. She said, I'm going to choose 136 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: a few new people to go to lunch with. So 137 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: she looked around her office and she asked some different 138 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 4: people to go to lunch with her. In fact, she 139 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: got a new little group, and she said, I had 140 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 4: so much fun just getting in a new group of people, 141 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: listening to their ideas, their jokes, the way they were. 142 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: She said, I came back to work and she said, 143 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 4: I had a new perspective. I was ready to tackle 144 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 4: that day. It was so refreshing. You see, sometimes we 145 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: just need to get a new outlook on what we 146 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 4: already have. I heard about this man who was really down, 147 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: he was really discouraged. He went to one of his 148 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: pastors at the church and he told him, he said, 149 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: my life is just I just don't have anything good 150 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 4: going on. My life is just a wreck. The pastor said, 151 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: come on into my office and let's just sit down 152 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 4: and talk a little bit. The pastor pulled out this 153 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 4: legal pad of paper. He drew a line down the 154 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: center of it, and he said, let's take this little test. 155 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: He said, on the right side, I'm going to put 156 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 4: all your assets, all the things that are good in 157 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 4: your life. On the left side, I'm going to put 158 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 4: your challenges, your problems, your disappointments. The man just kind 159 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 4: of hung his head and he said, you know, I'm 160 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 4: not going to have anything right in my life. The 161 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 4: pastor said, let's just go ahead and take the test. 162 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: He said, you know, I am so sorry to hear 163 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: that your wife passed away. He looked up and he said, 164 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 4: my wife didn't pass away. She's alive and she's healthy. 165 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 4: He said, really, He wrote on the right side of 166 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 4: the page, wife alive and healthy. He said, that's a 167 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 4: shame that your house burnt down. The man looked at 168 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 4: him and he said, what are you talking about. My 169 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: house didn't burn down. I'm living in my house. He said, oh. 170 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: He wrote on the right side of the page, living 171 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 4: in a house. The man said, where are you getting 172 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 4: all this ridiculous information. The pastor looked at him, and 173 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 4: then he wised up and he realized he's trying to 174 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 4: show me a new perspective, a new way of thinking. 175 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: By the time they finished their little session, that man 176 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 4: had listed several things on the right side of the 177 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: page that was right in his life. And he left 178 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: out of there with a good attitude and a spring 179 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: in his step. Amen, have you ever heard that saying 180 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 4: that says your attitude determines your altitude? What that means 181 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 4: is is there our attitudes have a direct correlation with 182 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: the success in our life. Have you ever met somebody 183 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: with just a good attitude. They always saw the solutions 184 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 4: and not the problems. They felt like they could tackle anything. 185 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: It makes you want to just be around that person. See, 186 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 4: your attitude can determine your altitude. All of you know 187 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: the story about Joshua and Caleb. They were two of 188 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 4: the twelve spies that Moses picked to go into Canaan, 189 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: which was the promised land that God had promised the 190 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 4: Israelites when they left Egypt. And so Joshua and Caleb 191 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 4: and ten other spies were directed by Moses to go 192 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: into Canaan and to buy out the land, to see 193 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: what the cities were like, see what the people were like, 194 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 4: look at the vegetation. He even said, bring back some 195 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 4: of the vegetation, so we can see what the soil 196 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 4: is like and what it's producing. So the twelve men 197 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 4: went into the land of Canaan. They were there for 198 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 4: forty days. They collected these huge grapes, They saw these 199 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: amazing pomegranates, they saw the people. They wandered around for 200 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: forty days, and when they got back to the camp, 201 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: every one of those men said, the land is rich. 202 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 4: It is indeed land that is flowing with milk and honey, 203 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 4: just like we have heard. But the difference was that 204 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 4: ten of those men took what they saw and they 205 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 4: perceived it different. They perceived it as it was great land. 206 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 4: It was flowing with milk and honey. But there are 207 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 4: giants in the land. The cities have huge walls around them. 208 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: Will never be able to conquer those people because they're 209 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 4: way bigger than we are. In comparison to us, we 210 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 4: look like grasshoppers in our own site. They begin to 211 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: take what they perceived and spread it throughout the whole 212 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: camp two million people. Can you imagine they just went 213 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 4: in and spread that. Well, when Joshua and Caleb said, 214 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 4: we saw the same thing. The land is good. It 215 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: is what God said it was we need to go 216 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: up right now, and we need to take that land 217 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 4: at once, and if God is pleased with us, we'll 218 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 4: be successful. Ten spies saw the glass half empty, where 219 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: two spies saw the glass half full. It's amazing how 220 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 4: your attitude can affect what you see. Joshua and Caleb, 221 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 4: although they had a good report, that good report was 222 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 4: not good enough to diffuse the negative rumors that had 223 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 4: spread throughout all the people. It was so negative that 224 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 4: the Bible says they were crying and complaining and murmuring, saying, 225 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 4: can we just go back to Egypt? And do you 226 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 4: know the Lord told Moses, he said, every one of 227 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 4: you are going to go back to Egypt because of 228 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 4: your bad attitude. You're murmuring, you're complaining your perception of 229 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: who I am in your life. But the point of 230 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 4: my story, and the one that I really want us 231 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 4: to see today, is this that God gave Joshua and 232 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 4: Caleb a second chance to enter the Promised Land. The 233 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 4: Bible says that the forty days that those men were 234 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 4: examining the Promised Land, that's how long that the children 235 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 4: at Israel were going to wonder in the wilderness. One 236 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: year for every day. They were going to wonder forty 237 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 4: years in the wilderness. Now, can I tell you the 238 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 4: ones with the good report, Joshua and Caleb, the ones 239 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 4: with the attitude, if we can take the land. They 240 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 4: also had to wonder in the wilderness for forty years. 241 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 4: But the Bible says this about them. They were of 242 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 4: a different spirit. One version says, an excellent spirit. So 243 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: when it was their opportunity after forty years to take 244 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 4: the younger generation into the promised land, this is what 245 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 4: Caleb said. He said, listen, I'm stronger and I'm more 246 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: determined than ever to take this land. When they thrived 247 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 4: in the wilderness for forty years, the rest of them 248 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 4: died in the wilderness. Can I tell you when you 249 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 4: have a perception of who God is, when you can 250 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 4: look out over your situation and you can have a 251 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 4: good attitude, using what you have and valuing what you have, 252 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: you can make it through the struggles of life. You 253 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 4: can make it through the wilderness moments better off and 254 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 4: more determined than you ever thought you were. When Joshua 255 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 4: and Caleb were about to go in, this is what 256 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: they spoke to the younger generation. This was their mantra 257 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 4: their leadership vision. They said, Gus, I can only imagine 258 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: He looked at all them and he said, choose ye 259 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 4: this day, who you will serve. He would say, in 260 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 4: every day, choose your attitude. Every day you can choose 261 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 4: the way you see life. Choose today how you're gonna 262 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: see this journey into the Promised Land. And he said, 263 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: for me and my house, we're going to serve the Lord. 264 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 4: We're gonna choose to overlook offense. We're gonna choose to 265 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: quiet the discouraging voices that would try to come against us. 266 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 4: We're gonna choose to believe that God is a big God, 267 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 4: and we're going to hope on in faith. You see, 268 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: I believe when we take inventory of our thoughts, we 269 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 4: will be like Joshua and Caleb. In fact, we'll outlast 270 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 4: anything that the enemy is trying to come against us with, 271 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 4: and we'll go in and we'll take the land that 272 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: God has given us. Amen.
