Hey y'all, welcome to the Christian Bay TV and podcast for Christ and Culture Connects.

I pray that you guys are having a wonderful day.

As you guys see from the title, today we're talking about Intelligence and Discernment, and we're coming from the book of Second

Chronicles chapter two and three. So grab your journals.

So if you're anything like me, you are so excited for the new year and so excited to see what God is going to do in this year. So

excited to be having a clean slate and just diving into purpose, diving into being intentional and consistent with everything that God is placing on your heart.

But even with having that mindset, at times it can be overwhelming.

And this morning while I was praying, God said to me,

put the pieces down.

Put the pieces down.

That's what I should have made this title,

but put the pieces down and what he meant by that is,

you have all of these pieces and all of these promises

that I reveal to you and things that I've told you that I want to do in 2023, but now you

have all the pieces in your hand and that's where the overwhelming

feeling comes from because when you hold these promises or these pieces in your

hand you begin to wonder how can I sort them out and what can I do to make this

easier and how can I be a better version of me to make this thing come to pass quicker.

So God said to me, put the pieces down.
