Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend.

We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

God bless you. It's great to have you with us today. We are praying for you and your family.

I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week, through our podcast,

YouTube channel, serious ex-AM, social media. We want to keep you inspired and encouraged.

But thanks for tuning in. I like to start with something funny. I heard about this pastor.

He was raising funds for a new auditorium. He said to the congregation,

anyone that will give a thousand dollars can pick out the next three hymns.

A little old lady in the back raised her hand, said, Pastor, I'll do it.

He was so excited. He said, thank you so much. Now which three hymns would you like?

She looked over the congregation and said, I'll take him and him and him.

Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

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 trusting when you don't understand.

We all go through things in life that don't make sense. A friend walked out of a relationship.

The company is downsizing. They don't need us anymore.

Or we were being our best, then the pandemic hit. Business went down.

Children can't go to school. Dreams are put on hold.

Sometimes it feels like we're going backwards. It's easy to live frustrated.
