Well, let me tell you about the sermon today. Are you ready? Well, you have to perk up then.

Geez. If I have to be up here, y'all have to at least be out there perked up, right? I studied and I studied and I studied all week long and I kept thinking, Lord, give me something, you know? And at midnight last night, he finally did. Now, that's not fair,

is it? How fair is that? That you have to wait until midnight last night to get what you're

supposed to do. You know? It's like the children of Israel in the Red Sea, they had to wait until

they put their foot in the water, you know, when things happen. You ever felt that way with God? It's like, God, why can't you do it ahead of time?

But you know what?

He just don't want to do it the way you want it done.

He wants to do it the way he wants it done.

And you know why that is?

Because he loves faith.

He loves faith.

He loves for us to trust him to the very end, and he don't like to coddle that flesh of ours.

You ever notice that?

And the more that you begin to walk with him, the more you'll see, he likes you to stay in faith.

He likes you to trust him.

So all day yesterday, I got up,

Keith, he knows me too well.

So I got up yesterday morning,

and this is the way I studied.

I cannot sit still.

So I got up yesterday morning.

I cleaned my back porch.
