Hey y'all, welcome to the Christian Bay TV and podcast

or 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

when life gets messy and we're coming from the book of 1st Samuel chapter 18 versus 10 through 16 so grab your journal so this morning while I was doing my quiet time my devotional was speaking about the miracles of God and the first thing that God allowed to stand out to me was that it's impossible to have miracles without experiencing some type of mess.

And when we think about our life or when we think about how our life is going to look,

we don't include messes in it.

I don't know about you, but I've never said yes yes and I want to include the struggle at this age and then I want to have a hardship at this age and I want another trial to come at this age.

When you think about your life or when you plan your life and you see your life and you set your life goals, we just include all of the miracles, all of the accomplishments, all of our achievements. We never include struggles in messy seasons. But as I was reading about miracles this morning and

my devotional, God showed me that it's impossible to experience a miracle without first experiencing some form of mess.
