I like to start with something funny, 34 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: and I heard about this middle aged woman. She had 35 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: a heart attack on the operating table. She asked God 36 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: if this was it. God said, no, you have forty 37 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: more years. Upon recovery, she decided to stay in the 38 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 3: hospital have a facelift, tummy tuck, life costruction, extreme makeover. 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: Two months later, as she is leaving the hospital, she 40 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: was hit by car and killed. She got to Heaven, 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: said God, I thought you said I had forty more years. 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: God said, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. Hold up 43 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This is 44 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 45 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: have what it says I have. I can do what 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 48 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 50 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: to you today about having continual joy. We all face 51 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: difficulties in life, challenges at work, people that are hard 52 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: to get along with their stress, traffic, disappointments. If we're 53 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: not careful, we'll let the pressures of life weigh us down. 54 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 3: It's easy to complain talk about our problems because negative discouraged. 55 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: But we weren't created to endure life. We were created 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: to enjoy life. And we can't control what happens on 57 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: the outside, but we can control what happens on the inside. 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: And happiness for a lot of people is based on 59 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 3: their circumstances. It's the weekend. I'm happy, my spouse is 60 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: treating me better. I'm happy, traffic wasn't too bad. I'm happy. 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: But joy is not dependent on what's happening around you. 62 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: Joy is deep down within you. Doesn't mean we'll be 63 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: jumping up and down every day, but there's a calm delight. 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 3: You'll content, You're at peace. You know God's fighting your battles. 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: You could be upset, but you have a smile on 66 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: your face. Things are tough, but you're not complaining. Your 67 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: attitude is life is good. I'm thankful to be alive. 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: When you live like that, you're tapping into the joy 69 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: that's on the inside. On chapter four, Jesus said to 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 3: the woman at the well, if you drink of this water, 71 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: you'll thirst again. But I will give you living water. 72 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: He described it in verse fourteen. It says this water 73 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 3: will become a spring, welling up, bubbling continually within you. 74 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: There is a well of joy in you right now, 75 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: a spring that's supposed to bubble up and continually flow. 76 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: Why don't we all have joy? There's something we have 77 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: to do. Ephesians five says, be ever filled with the spirit. 78 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: Notice you don't get filled one time and then you're done. 79 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 3: It says be ever filled. This means on a regular basis, 80 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: we have to keep filling ourselves up. How do we 81 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: do it? The next verse says by speaking to yourself 82 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: in songs, making melody in your heart, and by being thankful. 83 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: The way to have continual joy is to keep a 84 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 3: song of praise in your heart all through the day. 85 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 3: On the inside, we should be singing. This means in 86 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 3: our attitude we're grateful. In our thoughts, we're always thinking 87 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: about God's goodness. Cooking dinner, you're humming the tune to 88 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 3: a song, mowing the lawn. You're whistling as you go 89 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: along driving to work. This is going to be a 90 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: great day. Lord. I'm excited about my future in some way. 91 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 3: You're always making melody in your heart, thinking about God's goodness, 92 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: thanking him for your life, your family, your job. Every 93 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: time you do this, something is happening. You're not just 94 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 3: being positive, just having a good attitude. You're being filled 95 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: back up. God is pouring into you peace, strength, favor, victory. See, 96 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 3: life takes things out of us, stress, disappointments, traffic. I 97 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: have to develop this habit of being ever filled well, Joel. 98 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 3: I went to church on Sunday, I got filled up 99 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 3: for the week. That's good, but one time is not 100 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 3: going to last all week. When you get stuck in 101 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 3: traffic on Monday, morning, a coworker aggravates you. Monday afternoon, 102 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: your child gets on your nerves Monday evening. All that 103 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: was poured into you on Sunday is going to be 104 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: used up. If you're not making melody in your heart 105 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: throughout the day, keeping this song of praise on the inside, 106 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: then the pressures of life are going to push you down, 107 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: steal your joy. It's like a helium balloon, if you've 108 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: ever gotten one for your birthday. The first few days, 109 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: the balloon flies high and it goes to the end 110 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 3: of the stream. In fact, if you went outside and 111 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: let it go, go way up in the air. But 112 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: in a few days the balloon starts to sink down, 113 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: a little, get a little smaller. Day after day it 114 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 3: goes lower lower. Eventually it's on the ground. Won't rise 115 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: at all. There's nothing wrong with the balloon. It's just 116 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: out of helium. If you were to refill it, it 117 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: would be just as good as it was when it 118 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 3: was new. In the same way, every time we complain 119 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: we're leaking free time, we get stressed out. We're leaking 120 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: free time. We worry we're leaking. Before long, we have 121 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: no joy and no passion. That's why we have to 122 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: become ever filled. Next time you get stuck in traffic, 123 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: try a new approach. Instead of complaining, Lord, I want 124 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: to thank you that you're directed my steps. I believe 125 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: I'm at the right place at the right time. Instead 126 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: of leaking, you just got filled back up. You got stronger. 127 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: Maybe your child is causing you trouble. Instead of worrying 128 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: thinking about how it's never going to work out all 129 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: through the day, Lord, thank you. As for me and 130 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: my house, we will serve the Lord. Lord, you said 131 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 3: the seed of the righteous, my children will be mighty 132 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: in the land. What could deflate you instead will inflate you. 133 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 3: Perhaps the medical report wasn't good. You could easily be depressed, 134 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:16,119 Speaker 3: living self pity. But instead, in your thoughts you're constantly thinking, Lord, 135 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: you are good. Thank you that you're my healer. Thank 136 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: you that nothing can snatch me out of your hands. 137 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: Because you're making melody in your heart, You're going to 138 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 3: stay encouraged. That well of joy will keep bubbling up, 139 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: giving you the strength to fight the good fight of faith. 140 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 3: But too many people had developed a habit of being negative, 141 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: seeing the worst, worrying. You can develop this new habit 142 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: of keeping a song in your heart. You have to 143 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: look for ways you can be grateful in your everyday life. 144 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: Brushing your teeth in the morning, Lord, thank you for 145 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: this day, getting dressed for work. Lord, thank you that 146 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: I'm healthy, cooking breakfast. Lord, thank you for my children 147 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: driving to work. Lord, thank you that I have a job. 148 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: In your thoughts, you're always meditating on God's goodness. It's 149 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: easy to do just the opposite. Focus on what's wrong, 150 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: doesn't take much effort to go toward the negative. Well, Joel, 151 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 3: I don't like my job. These people get on my nerves, 152 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: and traffic was terrible today, and I don't feel like 153 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: cooking dinner for my family. Nobody appreciates me. All I 154 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 3: do is work around here. Can I tell you you're making 155 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 3: yourself miserable. You're deflating your own balloon. Turn it around 156 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: and start making melody in your heart. You may not 157 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: like your job, but why don't you thank God that 158 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 3: at least you have a job. If you'll be grateful 159 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: where you are, God will get you to where you're 160 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: supposed to be. You may have some big obstacles, people, 161 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: circumstances coming against you, but you don't have to live 162 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 3: upset and worried. You can thank God that he's fighting 163 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: your battles, thank him that she's making your crooked places straight. 164 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: You can go through the day with expect didn't see 165 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: saying I don't see away, But God, I know you 166 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: have a way. You've done it for me in the past. 167 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 3: I know you'll do it for me again. This is 168 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 3: how you have continual joy. When you have joy, you 169 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: have the strength you need to overcome the obstacles, to 170 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 3: outlast the attack, to accomplish your dreams. I learned this 171 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: principle from my father. Everywhere he went under his breath, 172 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: he was always either singing, praying, or he would be whistling. 173 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 3: He loved to whistle the tune from the Andy Griffith Show. 174 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: I heard that hundreds and hundreds of times. You know 175 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: it wasn't anything spiritual, but he had a joyful attitude. 176 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: When he was whistling, he was saying God, I love you, 177 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 3: thank you for what you've done in my life. That 178 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: was his way of making melody in his heart. Vacuuming 179 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 3: the house, you can do it, thinking I can't stand 180 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 3: to clean this place, or you can do it humming 181 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 3: the tune. I am a friend of God. Going to 182 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 3: the grocery store, you can dread it go there sour, 183 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: or you can go there whistling with a song of 184 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 3: praise in your heart. My brother Paul, every time he 185 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: comes in the back door of the church, I hear 186 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: him whistling, just like my father. He's never in tune, 187 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,599 Speaker 3: but he's happy. And my grandmother used to do the 188 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 3: same thing. We'd go over to her house a lot 189 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 3: growing up, and every time I saw her, she would 190 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 3: be humming a tune real low unless you were right 191 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 3: up to or you couldn't hear it. But ironing the clothes, 192 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: cooking us dinner, coming to church with my grandfather, she 193 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: was always making melody in her heart. I can't remember 194 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: one time ever seeing my grandmother upset, worried, frustrated, even 195 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 3: when things didn't go her way, she'd just kind of 196 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: laugh at all. Her attitude was, I'm not gonna worry. 197 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: I know everything's going to be all right. One time 198 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 3: my grand parents came over to our house for Thanksgiving dinner. 199 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: My grandmother forgot the turkey the main dish. Didn't ruin 200 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 3: her day, did mine, not hers, But she just laughed 201 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 3: and said, can you believe I did that. Nothing took 202 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: her song, no wonder. She was always happy, no wonder. 203 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: She lived so long, so healthy, she was constantly making 204 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: melody in her heart. I wonder how much more we'd 205 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 3: enjoy life, how much longer and healthier we would live, 206 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: if we would do like her and keep that song 207 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: of praise on the inside. I'm not talking about me 208 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: and musical I'm talking about a lifestyle of being thankful, 209 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 3: seeing the best, always thinking about what God has done, 210 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: how blessed we are, how good things are in store, 211 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 3: even in difficulties. We're not complaining. We're thanking God that 212 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: he's bigger than our problem. We're thinking him that what 213 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: he started he'll finish in our lives. At our house, 214 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: we have a lot of birds on the outside, especially 215 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: at certain times a year, cardinals, blue jays, robins. Early 216 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 3: in the morning, usually about a half hour before sunrise, 217 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 3: they start singing and singing. It sounds like a symphony. 218 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: There are so many different kinds of birds, different sounds. 219 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: It's right outside our bedroom window. Many mornings they are 220 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: singing so loud that they wake me up. They are 221 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: so full of joy they're almost annoying. As I listen 222 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: to those birds singing back and forth, filling our backyard 223 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 3: with beautiful music. Those birds don't seem like they have 224 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 3: a care in the world. Don't they know the price 225 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: of oil has gone down, cost of living has gone up, 226 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 3: traffic's gotten worse, trouble in the Middle East. They just 227 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 3: sing like life is good, like everything's going to be 228 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: all right, like their creator is watching after them. The 229 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 3: other morning, there was this big storm, lightning, thunder, The 230 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: rain was coming down so hard. I was lying in 231 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 3: bed listening to it all, thinking, boy, this it's a 232 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 3: good time to be sleeping. About that time, outside my 233 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: window I heard those birds start to sing. I thought, 234 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: you have got to be kidding. I wanted to say, birds, 235 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: don't you realize you're getting wet, it's storming, there's lightning. 236 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 3: You're supposed to be miserable. Why are you singing in 237 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: the midst of this turmoil. See, nobody told the birds 238 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: to quit singing when it rains, to be depressed, when 239 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: they have a bad break, to be sour when somebody 240 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: does them wrong. They just sing like they don't care. 241 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: If we were birds, we would think it's sprinkling today. 242 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: I'm taking the day off. No singing for me. My 243 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: nest got a little wet. I'm out for three months. 244 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: Cover for me. We need to learn a lesson from 245 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: the birds. Don't complain when it storms, don't be sour 246 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 3: when things don't go your way. Just keep singing, keep 247 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 3: making melody, keep being grateful. It may be rough on 248 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 3: the outside, but stay full of joy on the inside. 249 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: Keep that song of praise in your heart. Paul said 250 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 3: in Philippians, do all things without complaining. That means do 251 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 3: the dishes without complaining, drive in traffic without complaining, Sit 252 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 3: where the ushers ask you to sit without complaining, Watch 253 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: the Texans without complaining. Sometimes we complain about the very 254 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: thing that we ask God for and He gave it 255 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 3: to us. You prayed for that bigger house. Don't complain 256 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: that you have more to clean. You prayed for that wife. 257 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 3: Don't complain that you have to work seven jobs to 258 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: afford her. You prayed for that baby. Don't complain that 259 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 3: you have to get up sometimes in the middle of 260 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: the night. For three and a half years, we prayed 261 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: and believed for this place, the former Compact Center. When 262 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 3: God gave it to us, it was a dream come true. 263 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: First year we were here, they showed me the utility 264 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 3: costs for a year, one million dollars. I thought, God, 265 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: can we go back to our old place. It's easy 266 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: to complain. There's always some reason to be sour, upset. 267 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 3: Complain about the traffic, plain about the city, complain about 268 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: the church. I didn't get anything out of that message. 269 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: Today we complain about a message on complaining. Here's a 270 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: good phrase to remember. When you complain, you remain. But 271 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 3: when you praise, you'll be raised. When you have that, 272 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: when you have that song in your heart, you're always 273 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 3: thinking about God's goodness. You're gonna rise higher, You're gonna 274 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 3: see more of God's favor. One time, Victoria and I 275 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: were at an Ammus this park when our children were small, 276 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: and we'd been waiting in line for about forty five 277 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 3: minutes for this very popular riding. It was a beautiful 278 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 3: day and we were enjoying our time together, and this 279 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: lady came off the ride with her two children. She 280 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 3: was headed toward the rest of her family. They were 281 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 3: in line right behind us. Before she even got close, 282 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: she started saying, it wasn't worth it. They didn't let 283 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: us sit together. That's not right. I can't believe. We 284 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: waited it out, on and on, complaining so loud so 285 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: everybody could hear. After a couple of minutes, when she 286 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 3: finally stopped, I just kind of joking and having fun. 287 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 3: I said, well, was there anything good about the riding? 288 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 3: She looked at me and said, are you that guy 289 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: on TV? And I said no, ma'am, I'm a dentist. 290 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: I wasn't about to tell her. She lit into me. 291 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: But forgive me, Lord for Lyne. But here's my point here, 292 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 3: beautiful day, she's at the amusement park with her family. 293 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: Her kids were healthy and strong, but she found some 294 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 3: reason to complain. We create much of our own unhappiness, 295 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: how we respond to negative things, how we approach life. 296 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: When you've developed this habit of seeing the good and 297 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 3: meditating on God's goodness making melody, life go so much better, 298 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 3: that's how you have continual joy, joy, despite what's happening 299 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: around you. After Hurricane Katrina, I saw a news report 300 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: where they were interviewing people that had made it through, 301 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 3: and person after person came up and told their story, 302 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 3: and most of them were very negative, upset, discouraged, blaming others. 303 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: Then this one young lady came up, and you could 304 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 3: tell there was something different about her. She had a 305 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 3: smile on her face. She was radiating joy and peace 306 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 3: and victory. The reporter asked her, almost sarcastically, Okay, tell 307 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 3: us your story. Tell us what's wrong. She said, nothing's wrong. 308 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 3: I'm not here to complain. I'm here to thank God 309 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 3: that I made it out alive. I'm here to thank 310 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: God that my children and I are so healthy in 311 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 3: a home. This reporter was taken aback pleasantly, surprised everyone 312 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 3: had been complaining about having no power, no air conditioning, 313 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: and how hot it was. He asked her, what about you. 314 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 3: Do you have your power, you have your air conditioning. 315 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 3: She said no, I not only don't have air conditioning, 316 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: I don't have my house. It was blown away in 317 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 3: the storm. But she said, I'll tell you what I 318 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 3: do have, and she pulled out this little pocket bible. 319 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 3: She said, I have my hope, I have my joy, 320 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: I have my God. Jesus said, no man can take 321 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: your joy, no storm, no bad break, no traffic, no disappointment. 322 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 3: There is a well in you that will never run dry. 323 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 3: And when you keep this song of praise making melody 324 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: focusing on what's right and that well a joy is 325 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 3: going to keep bubbling up, keeping you strong, keeping you encouraged, 326 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: keeping you moving forward. The scripture says speaking to yourself 327 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: in songs. You have to talk to yourself the right way. 328 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 3: There's an internal dialogue taking place in you all through 329 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 3: the day. You can't have a negative mentality and expect 330 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: to live in victory. Well, I can't believe I had 331 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 3: this bad break. I'll never get out of this problem. 332 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 3: What if the medical report is not good. That's letting 333 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 3: yourself talk to you. You need to start talking to yourself. 334 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 3: You have to take control of your thought life. Every 335 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: morning when you wake up, this is going to be 336 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 3: a great day. I have the favor of God. No 337 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 3: weapon formed against me will prosper. I'm strong, I'm healthy, 338 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 3: I'm blessed. Every time you do that, you're getting filled 339 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 3: back up. He keeps speaking to yourself the right way. 340 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 3: You'll tap into that well of joy, peace, favor, victory 341 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 3: that God put in you. David did this in the scripture. 342 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: One time. He was very depressed discourage. He didn't think 343 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 3: he could go on, and at one point he realized 344 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 3: nothing was going to change until he did his part. 345 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: He said, why are you cast down, Oh my soul, 346 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 3: hope in the Lord. He said to himself, David, get 347 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 3: your hopes up, get your dreams back, start believing again, 348 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: get your joy back. When he started talking to himself 349 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 3: the right way, that's when things begin to turn around. 350 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: I heard about this little bird. He lived in a 351 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 3: bird cage his whole life. All through the day, he 352 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 3: would sit on his swing and sing and sing from 353 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 3: morning to evening. He was as happy as can be, 354 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 3: not a care in the world. One day, his owner 355 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: was cleaning the bird cage, like she did every soul often. 356 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 3: She had the vacuum cleaner hose vacuuming out the bottom 357 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 3: of the cage. When the telephone rang, she leaned over 358 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 3: to try to reach it with her left hand, while 359 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: her right hand accidentally went up too high. While she 360 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: wasn't looking, it sucked the little bird down through the 361 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: vacuum cleaner hose. She finished her call and thought, where's 362 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: my birden She started looking all over her house, searching 363 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: room after room, looking behind the curtains. Finally, it dawned 364 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 3: on her that the unthinkable may have happened. She ran 365 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 3: over to the vacuum cleaner opened the bag. Sure enough, 366 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: there he was all disheveled looking. She felt terrible. She 367 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 3: dusted him off, cleaned him up the best she could, 368 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 3: put him up on his swing. But she said, the 369 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: most interesting thing happened. He didn't sing anymore. He just 370 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: sat there and stared out into space. He lost his song. 371 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes we're going to great in life, everything is fine, 372 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 3: but then we hit some turmoil, go through a disappointment, 373 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: friend betrays us, the medical report wasn't good. We get 374 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 3: sucked down the vacuum cleaner hose, so to speak. Thankfully 375 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: we make it out. But too often, like this little bird, 376 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 3: we've lost our songs, have no joy, no passion. We're 377 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 3: not pursuing our dreams, making the most of each day. 378 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 3: We're just enduring life, going through the motions. And that 379 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: well of joy that's supposed to be bubbling up keeping 380 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: us ever filled, has become clogged up with disappointments, discouragement, stress, 381 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 3: self pity. But God did not bring you this far 382 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 3: to leave you. You have to get your song back. 383 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: If one dream dies, dream another dream. If life knocks 384 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: the wind out of you, don't stay down, get back 385 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: up and go again. It may not have been fair. 386 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 3: But God is fair. He's a god of justice. He 387 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 3: knows how to take what was meant for harm and 388 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 3: use it to your advantage. If you'll get your song back, 389 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: God will make the rest of your life better than 390 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: it would have been had that not happened. David said, 391 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 3: God lifted me out of the pit. He was saying, 392 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 3: in effect my translation, God brought me out of that 393 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 3: vacuum cleaner bag. What did he do? He put a 394 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: new song in my heart, not a song of defeat, 395 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 3: not a song. And you won't believe what I've been through. 396 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 3: I've had so much heart, you know. He put a 397 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: song of praise and thanksgiving in my heart. You may 398 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 3: have gone through difficulties, but that well is still in you. 399 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 3: God has a new song, but it's not going to 400 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 3: do any good if you go around dwelling on your disappointments, 401 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 3: negative complaining. You have to start making melody in your heart. 402 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 3: Quit thinking about what you've lost, and start thinking God 403 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 3: for what you have left. Start thanking Him for the 404 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 3: new doors that are going to open, for beauty, for 405 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 3: ashes that your best days are still ahead. When you 406 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 3: get your song back, you'll feel the joy start to 407 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: bubble up. Your dreams will come back to life, your 408 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 3: passion will be restored. That's when God can pay you 409 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: back for the negative things that have happened. This is 410 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 3: what Habaka did in the scripture. He said, although the 411 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 3: fig tree shall not blossom and there be no fruit 412 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: on the vine, yet will I rejoice in the Lord. 413 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 3: In the God of my salvation. He was saying, My 414 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: crops have dried up, my business have gone down in 415 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 3: the natural. There's no reason to be happy, no reason 416 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 3: to make melody in my heart. Nothing's gone my way. 417 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 3: I got suck down through that vacuum cleaner hose. He 418 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 3: could have lived depressed, bitter, but he understood this principle 419 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 3: of having continual joy. He said, all these things have 420 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: come against me, Yet will I rejoice in the Lord. 421 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: He was saying, when I look at my circumstances, there's 422 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 3: no reason to rejoice. So I'm going to rejoice in 423 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 3: the Lord. I can hear him all through the day. Lord, 424 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 3: you are good God. I praise you for your greatness. 425 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 3: I know You're bigger than this financial difficulty, bigger than 426 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 3: this cancer, bigger than this problem. I rejoice in the 427 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: God of my Salvation. In the midst of his trouble. 428 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 3: In the midst of the struggle, he wasn't complaining, wasn't 429 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 3: talking about his problems. He had a song of praise 430 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: on the inside. That's what not only keeps us ever filled, 431 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 3: keeps us strong and full of faith, but that's what 432 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 3: allows God to turn things around. You may have gone 433 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 3: through disappointments, or maybe you're in a tough time right now. 434 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: I'm asking you to get your song back. If you 435 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 3: can't find any reason to be grateful, do like Habaccu 436 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 3: and rejoice in the God of your salvation. Go through 437 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: the day thanking God for who he is. Lord. Thank 438 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 3: you that you're my savior. Thank you that you're my healer, 439 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 3: my restorer, my deliver, my provider, my protector, my waymaker. 440 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 3: He's called the Great I Am. He is whatever we need. 441 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: Friend's life is too short to go through it negative, worried, 442 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: weighed down by pressure. There's a well on the inside 443 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 3: of you. It's supposed to be bubbling up, continually flowing 444 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: all through the day. Make sure you keep the song 445 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: of praise in your heart. Remember it's not enough to 446 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 3: do it one time. You have to be ever filled. 447 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 3: If you'll develop this habit of making melody in your heart. 448 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 3: I believe and declare you're well is going to keep 449 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 3: bubbling up with joy, peace, strength, favor, healing.
