He is the source of all things. 73 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: We can do nothing without him. Ask God for you 74 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 2: to not only accomplish the goals before you, but for 75 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: you to thrive in doing so.

Do not look at your own hands, 81 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: and think that you brought about your own blessing. Never 82 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: forget the Lord your God. Do not follow after the gods. 83 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: Do not follow other gods or put other things in 84 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: his place, or you will invite destruction. Be confident in 85 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: the knowledge that God is the one who wants to 86 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: bless your life.
