| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the morning mindset. This is our opportunity today, just today, |
| 0:09.4 | to get our minds aligned with the truth of God. |
| 0:13.0 | And the reason I say it's just for today |
| 0:16.0 | is because we will wake up tomorrow morning |
| 0:20.0 | and have to fight this battle all over again. |
| 0:22.0 | We have to get this battle all over again. |
| 0:22.6 | We have to get our minds straight, aligned, |
| 0:26.6 | in groove with the word of God |
| 0:30.0 | every single morning of our lives. Yesterday's grace doesn't last for today. |
| 0:35.0 | We've got to establish it again with intention. |
| 0:38.0 | And to align ourselves with it as God provides it. |
| 0:42.0 | And by it, I'm talking about the grace of God. |
| 0:45.0 | Today's morning mindset is focusing on this idea we have about planning, this idea we have about setting goals. |

| 1:27.8 | think of that verse I think of two different things. One is the goal which is this big picture sort of a thing, but then is the smaller thing, the actual steps that lead to that goal. |
| 1:41.0 | And while God is concerned with the big picture, surely, he's also intimately involved in the details of that big picture. |
| 1:51.0 | So we may be planning our way, we may be planning where it is we want to go, |
| 1:55.9 | where we think we should go perhaps, as a servant of Christ. But God is intimately involved in the details of how we're going to get there and even |
| 2:06.6 | whether we're going to get there. You see God sees the entire big picture because it's his big picture. He has ordained it. He has |
| 2:16.0 | planned it. Ultimately, it's his plan. We do our best to align ourselves with his plan, don't we? I mean we ask God what is your will for me and this or in that and we seek it |
