Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks for supporting

the ministry. We believe you're going to have an awesome 2024, healthy, productive, and favor-filled.

God bless you today and enjoy the message. God bless you. It's great to be with you today.

And I hope to stay connected with us during the week

through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media. We'll keep you encouraged and

inspired. But I'd like to start with something funny. And I heard about this couple that had

been married for over 60 years and never had an argument, never had a cross word.

They weren't at a church function and someone asked the secret of their success.

The man told how he always treated his wife with respect and how he took her on trips around

the world.

He said, in fact, for our 25th wedding anniversary, I took her to Beijing, China.

Everyone politely applauded. Someone asked, what did you do for your 25th wedding anniversary, I took her to Beijing, China. Everyone politely applauded?

Someone asked, what did you do for your 50th anniversary? He said, I went back and picked her up.

All right, y'all. That's not in your marriage class. Here we go. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

I have what it says I have. I have what it says I have.

I can do what it says I can do.

Today I will be taught the word of God.

I boldly confess, my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

I will never be the same.

In Jesus' name.

God bless you.

I want to talk to you today about secure in his sovereignty.
