Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are last break of the
day on this Tuesday. You have some closing remarks for us.
I know you do.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, I've been talking to you all a few times
about this thing that I've started doing every morning, this
morning meditation.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
It's a series of things I do.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You don't have to do it, man, everybody has to
pick their own way to go about it. I just
decided because of a scripture that I read Psalms five
and three and Psalms five and three. It just talks
about in the morning, and just talk about when you
talk to God in the morning, you're asking him to
(00:44):
hear your voice. And then after you ask him to
hear your voice of everything you pray and talk to
him about, asking to show gratitude, you wait and expectation
of all these things to happen in your life.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
You know, not look everything and you ask them.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Not gonna happen today, But you spend your day in
expectation that God is going to do something to move
you closer to your goals, your dreams, your visions, and
especially to him. But what I have learned about this
morning meditation and it has bought about a pizza in
my life that I've never had before. I'm just sharing
(01:21):
it with everybody because I'd like for you all to
try it. Look, they got these daily inspiration books all
over the place. The one I got is called Enjoying
Peace in His Presence by Sarah Young. It's just a
three hundred and sixty five day devotion, or you can
pick anyone you want. You know how, they have a
(01:42):
little message of the day and then they back it
up with a couple of scriptures. And look, man, I'm
not being religious with you at all, because your faith
doesn't matter to me. I'm just talking about a method
this morning meditation. And what I do is what it
does is is after I get through meditating and say
(02:03):
the Lord's Prayer and I read my little daily daily inspiration,
I got a Bible app and I do my verse
of the day, and then I go look it up
in the Bible and I look it up in a
New Living Testament so I can understand the real words.
And before I close out, I pull out my list
of everything that I'm thanking God for, which is a
(02:25):
full sheet of paper. And then I have a second
sheet of paper that stuff I'm asking God for, which
is another full sheet of paper. What I've learned in
this meditation is that it has given me a piece
that has transcended my intellect.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
And what I mean by that is what I've discovered.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What's happening to me and it might be happening to
a lot of you, is when most of your mental
energy goes into trying to figure everything out, which I
can't tell you how much of my morning I used
to wake up in the morning and began to figure
every try to figure everything out.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
When you're trying to figure it out, the peace that God.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Can really give you, you're not capable of receiving that
because you're in the way with your mindset. See you
so busy trying to figure it out that you don't
you don't leave room for God. And what God does.
God kind of looks in your head and probably looking
at all these thoughts spinning around and around and going
(03:32):
nowhere and accomplishing nothing, and all the while this peace
that He has for me had been kind of hovering
over my head, searching for a place to land. But
I wasn't given his peace a place to land in
my head because I had it so jumbled up with
thoughts of how to figure it out, what I'm gonna do,
(03:53):
Who should I call, what should I say, how do
I respond? And for the past month I've stopped doing that.
All of a sudden, it just gave me an incredible
peace that he had been trying.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
To give to me for years.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I wish I had learned this a long time ago,
but maybe it can help you out the way it
has helped me. But I guess we all learn stuff
as we go along. You know, we are all slowly
becoming the person that we should have been a long
time ago.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I also learned of.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Late that it takes your entire life to find out
everything there is to find out about yourself.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
To be who you really are, it takes your entire life.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
This person that I've become has become a person more
at peace as all the controversy and things.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Swoil around me.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
God has given me a real calmness in the eye
of the hurricane. And we all can be the center
of the hurricane if we just refuse to step out
and to swirl us around us, and it's all around us.
It's relative to who you are. Some swells appear bigger
than other swels because of the level.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You've reached in life.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Some people might look over there and go, man, that
ain't nothing, But in their world it could be everything.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
It could be monumentous.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So who am I, because it's all relative as to
where we are. You know, we all got our different
crosses to bear. But the one thing I've learned about
this morning, meditation has given me a peace beyond my intellect,
and it has caused me to just have a calmness
that I haven't had in a long time. And I
(05:32):
don't have to respond to everything because everything that somebody's
saying about you, and everything that somebody's doing towards you,
that's meant for evil. That ain't your business, And don't
make it yours. Don't even worry about it. Those people
have no idea that God's weighs are as high above
(05:54):
the earth as the heavens.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
They have no idea. They just operating in.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Their own little cocoon, thinking they staring up something because
they got some likes or something like that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Hey, y'all, don't get in that. Don't worry about ten people.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
If you love God and you're a child of his,
He's working on your behalf, even when it looks like
it's some mess out there. All you got to do
is stay at the eye of the hurricane. Don't get
in the swirl, don't go out there. If you stay
centered in him, He'll give you a piece that transcends
(06:30):
all your intellect. That's what the morning meditation has done
for me. I would invite you all to try it yourself.
All right, that's it today. Those are my clothesing in mark.
