Hey everyone, thanks for joining us here on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. Today we're continuing

with the series called Growing in the Seasons of Life. And in these messages, Rick's going to share

biblical wisdom that you need to live your best life no matter what stage you're in.

Okay, well, let's hear what Rick has to share with us today.

Here's the final part of a message called the season of loss.

Then number five, and this is the most important of all,

when you go through the losses of life, rely on Christ.

Rely on Christ.

This is the secret of strength in the losses of life.

Paul says in Philippians 413, listen to this.

I have learned, notice it wasn't automatic,

I have learned the secret of being happy at any time in everything that happens.

I can do all things through Christ because he gives me the strength.

Now notice he isn't saying here, I can do all things because I listen to

motivational tapes in the morning. And I psych myself up and say, if I act enthusiastic, I'll be enthusiastic.

Yip, yep, yep, it's a wonderful day.

I am wonderful.

You know, get that, who's that smiley guy on Saturday Night Live?

What's his name?

Steve, you'd know.

Stuart, what?

Thank you.
