Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

The title of our post today is,

Stay Focused, God will have the last word.

Since the Give Him 15 devotionals are posted very early each weekday morning.

I have to write and record them on the day before.

Today's was completed before I heard the news that the jury in Trump's trial had reached a verdict.

Of course, I knew I would have to save that one and write another.

For the past three hours, I've spoken with several friends and revisited what I've been hearing from Holy Spirit during the past several months.

Started writing about eight, by the way way it is now late and I am recording

obviously before I share I want to say that earlier today I began feeling heavy sadness and grief for the nation.

As I was praying and writing the earlier post,

the one I'm now saving,

a friend called to talk about an unrelated matter,

but during the conversation mentioned

the sad condition of America.

The floodgates opened.

I began to weep to the point of being unable to speak.

I couldn't finish our conversation.

He, knowing this was travail from Holy Spirit,

graciously ended the call.

I walked and prayed for a while, then continued writing.

I tell you this to point out that the sadness many are feeling
