Hey guys, welcome to Before the Noise, the place where we slow down before the chaos kicks in every weekday. Join us for more at BeforeThe Noise.com. Let's go. Hey, guys. Good morning. It is May 13th. It is Wednesday. I hope everybody's doing well. Welcome to Before the Noise. If you're new here, my name is Chad Prather. These are my devotional thoughts as we work through the scripture, and you guys are sitting in with me, and I'm glad that you do. Thank you. If you're watching on Rumble on the live chat, let me see you blow that thing up. I see you guys in there. We got a good number of folks in there waiting early in the morning. Some of you bright and early, depending on what time zone you're in. Don't get distracted by the chat. That's there to have fun with and to make sure the

algorithm stays juiced up and charged. But don't get too distracted by it. Okay, let's let our,

let our focus be right today. If you're watching on YouTube X or Facebook, I'm glad you guys are

there as well. A good number of folks tune in throughout the hour that we're

together. So I try to make this where you can kind of chop it off at any given point and hopefully

get something out of it. I'm glad that you guys bless me with your presence in the morning.

And if you're listening by way of podcasts later on in the day, God bless you guys for doing that

because that helps me more than you know. It really does help the, what do you call it, the algorithm.

It helps it get promoted more.

So I think this is, I think we put stuff out there that's worth promoting.

There's a lot of garbage in the world today and I think this is some stuff.

And you know what? I put a lot of the garbage out. So I'm glad that we do something somewhat redemptive and that we have something worth promoting. Good morning. Reminder, there will be no time together on Friday morning. No before the noise on Friday morning. And if you're signing up at join above the noise.com if you're looking for
