| 0:00.0 | Hey there, my friends. Do you ever have trouble understanding God's purpose for the things that happen in your life? |
| 0:13.8 | I kind of know that's a stupid question. We all have trouble at times because God's reasons and purposes are so much bigger than us. We struggle to understand |
| 0:22.5 | at times. Well, today we're going to be talking about one of the purposes behind life's ups and |
| 0:28.3 | downs that God allows to come into our lives. Welcome to the morning mindset. This is our |
| 0:33.8 | opportunity to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. We'll be looking |
| 0:39.5 | at the Epistle of 1st Peter chapter 1 verses 1 through 2. So get out your Bibles, get out your |
| 0:45.8 | morning mindset journals. If you have a morning mindset journal, that's great. If you don't, |
| 0:50.4 | you can find one by going to morning mindsetmedia.com slash journal. It's just a simple |
| 0:55.8 | tool to help you format your thoughts, think a little more deeply. You can find it there. |
| 1:01.7 | You'll also find that link in the description for this episode. Okay, before we dig into |

| 1:19.5 | preconceived ideas and to receive what you're teaching us today because you know all and you |
| 1:25.1 | understand all that you're doing. So help us understand your heart. |
| 1:29.5 | We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen. Okay, friends, first Peter chapter 1, verses 1 through 2. |
| 1:36.2 | It starts this way, Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who are elect exiles of the |
| 1:43.4 | dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, |
| 1:46.6 | and Bethinia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, |
| 1:54.4 | for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood. May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Now friends, |
| 2:03.2 | what I want a key in on is there toward the end of verse number two where that little word |
| 2:08.3 | four pops up. Now, if you and I were driving in a car, you just suddenly turned over and walked me in |
| 2:14.6 | the arm. I might very reasonably ask you, what did you do that for? |
