Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with coffee on ice. I am your host,
Ali Yost. It is a joy and honor to be here with you guys today. Happy Friday, everybody. Happy Friday.
We made it to the end of the week. Thank you, Jesus. I am so excited for today's episode
because I honestly just love being with you guys. Okay? This is the highlight of my week is being able to hang out
with you guys and enjoy Jesus together and enjoy each other and encourage one another. And so yeah,
today is a special day for me because I just love my job. I love what I get to do here with you guys.
I also would love to talk about, I just like need to have a moment actually to talk about last
week's episode. And I don't know if anyone relates to this. I feel like a lot of you guys probably
would. But I don't actually always get like instant revelation when I'm reading scripture.
Sometimes I do, of course, but also actually more times than not.
I feel like it's not until after I've already read the scripture and I'm like going on with my days and going on with my life that it just like marinates and it and it just continues to like work in my mind and in my heart.
And so after reading those Psalms last week, we read Psalm 35 through 47, I believe.
and it encouraged me so much and reminded me of a simple truth of who God is, which is that he is a just God.
He is a just God. He is a just God. He is a fair God. He is a God that defends us when no one else will.
He is a God that will reveal the truth at the end of the day. Even when it doesn't always look like that's what's happening, like that is actually who he is and that has to be the end result, no matter what.
No matter how long we're waiting for those results, no matter how long we're waiting for him to move on it and to like bring
justice and shed light in a certain area or whatever that is. Like if you feel like there is something
that has gone on in your life or is actively happening in your life where you're like, this is not
fair, God. Like this is actually not fair. I'm being misunderstood. There's a false narrative.
Like there's a false reality of, you know, a person or a group of people or a situation or whatever
where you're like, this is not fair. Like this is not who I am. This is not actually what I've done.
But I feel like I'm being misjudged. I feel like I'm being looked at in a way that is just not
true. And that was the main thing that I was gathering from those Psalms was when David was like,
Lord, I need you to defend me because I have done nothing but blessed these people and they have
responded to me with evil. And I mourned these people and I loved these people as if they were my
own family and I prayed for them. And now when the tables have turned, like they literally are
actually laughing and counting on my downfall. And so I, not saying that like I feel,
exactly as David. But I know what that feels like. It was just such a beautiful reminder for me
personally that when I am misunderstood, that the only thing I can count on in those moments is God.
And there's nothing that I could say. There's nothing more that I could do. Especially when I've
done everything that I could out of pure intentions and love, there is nothing more that you can do
at that point. And so the only place that we can go in those moments is to Jesus and believe
that he is a just God. Not that we're wishing ill on anybody or that we're asking for revenge in any way,
but like there is a real prayer to Jesus of being like, God, can you please reveal the truth, though,
of like what is actually happening and who I actually am? Because you know my heart, Lord,
you know who I am, and I just pray that that truth prevails, you know? And so, I don't know. I don't
know if any of that made sense but that ultimately was the thing that I took away the most from reading
those psalms was like wow god you actually are the only one who can bring justice you are the only one
who can make every wrong right and all I can do in these moments is continue to act with kindness
and love and compassion continuing to walk like Jesus and being okay with being misunderstood
the one to reveal that truth, that everything is eventually brought to the light, and that is only
something that God can do. And so it isn't our job to be God. It isn't our job to control the narrative or
try to prove ourselves or strive. Like all of that is just spiritual suicide, in my opinion. Like trying to
prove yourself and climb a mountain that you're not supposed to climb. It is so much more rewarding to
surrender the truth of being misunderstood. Like, okay, I'm being misunderstood. These people hate me for
things I haven't done. It is what it is. Surrendering that and being like, okay, God, I come under
your wing of protection now. Like, I actually submit to you. I'm under you and you are the one that
is going to defend me. It's so funny. Actually, the song that was most played in my Spotify rap
when I got it at the beginning of this year was Defender by Upper Room and Abby Gamboa. That song
has gotten me through so much in this past year.
Just knowing that God is our defender and he is the one to protect us, show up for us, provide for us.
He is the only one that can do all of those things.
And so anyway, I pray that last week's episode spoke to you in your own ways.
If it was in the same way as mine, I love that.
That was just the biggest reminder that I needed was that God is it.
He's it.
He is the one that will defend all.
He is my advocate. Like, he is the one that comes to my defense. And so that is such a good reminder for all of us when we want to try to control a narrative or defend ourselves. Like, that is not our job is to defend ourselves ever. And honestly, I think that when we get defensive, it actually makes things so much worse. It's better to just like, surrender it and be like, okay, it is what it is. And let God do the rest, you know? So with all of that being said, thank you guys for letting me share.
all of that. Today we do have our Jesus. We have our word of God, which we are going to read more of.
So because of how impactful last week's episode was for me personally, I pray that it was for you as well,
but I want us to continue to read the Psalms. Here we go. We're just going to keep reading the Bible.
Why not? Like all that needs to be said is right here. And so just as a reminder, I do read the new
Living Translation, which is NLT. And my Bible is from Hosanna Revival. I have shared that with you guys a
million times, but I adore them and love them. And so that is the Bible that I'm going to be reading from
today. If you guys are near your Bible or if you have an opportunity to be in the word, I would
highly suggest that. I think it's one of the most impactful things is to actually have the
tangible word of God in front of us. But if you are not at a place to actually physically read,
okay. I'm happy to read it to you. But I would love to actually pick up where we left off. So I want to
continue to read the Psalms with you guys. And I'm really expectant for what the Lord is going to do in
this episode. And so before we get into it, I would also love to just lead us into some prayer as we did
last week, that the Lord will move, that he would speak, that his peace would wash over us in Jesus' name.
And so God, we just honor you today. Lord, we love you. God, Jesus, thank you for the privilege.
of being able to be in your presence, God. Thank you for the privilege and luxury of being able to read the word of God.
God, we recognize that there are so many places in the world that don't even actually have your word.
Like they don't have it in their language. It's illegal where they live, God, that they would actually be killed and slaughtered if they ever owned a Bible.
And so Jesus, let us never forget the privilege and luxury that we really have for even being able to read and have the tangible word of God in front of us.
Lord, I pray conviction over us to continue to prioritize the word of God, that it's not just in prayer
and in spirit, but it says in scripture that it is in spirit and truth. And the truth is the word
of God. So, Lord, we're asking for you to renew our minds and to renew our hearts in your truth.
In Jesus' name, God, we ask that our souls are anchored in your word. Lord, thank you, that this is true
wisdom. This is wisdom. This is real wisdom. This is our food for the day, God. This is
what our souls need to survive. And so, Lord, I thank you that this actually is the manual to life.
You have given us this very thing to get by day by day and not just to get by, but to do it well
and to do it in a way that honors you. And so, God, we're asking for you to just minister to us.
Holy Spirit, we ask for you to come in this episode. Lord, fill every space, every space right now
in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray the Holy Spirit right now to fill every space, every person,
who is listening right now, God, I pray for your peace to wash over them from the top of their heads to the bottom of their feet.
Holy Spirit come. We are inviting you, God. You are welcome here, Jesus. And I rebuke any attempts of the
enemy of distraction or discouragement in Jesus' name, not just as like filler noise, but that it actually
embeds into our hearts today, God. We love you, Jesus. Thank you for being here with us, God. Please minister to us.
We need you. We love you. We can't live without you.
pray all of these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Oh, thank you, Jesus, for being here. Oh, thank you,
God. Okay. Sorry, just the Holy Spirit is here. Oh, thank you, God. Um, okay, guys, so we finished at
Psalm 47 last week. And so I'd love for us to pick up at Psalm 48, chapter 48, verse 1.
And we can read along together, or I'm happy to read to you.
How great is the Lord? How deserving a praise!
In the city of our God, which sits on His Holy Mountain,
it is high and magnificent. The whole earth rejoices to see it.
Mount Zion, the Holy Mountain, is the city of the great king.
God himself is in Jerusalem's towers, revealing himself as its defender.
The kings of the earth joined forces and advanced against the city.
But when they saw it, they were stunned.
They were terrified and ran away.
They were gripped with terror and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.
You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish, shattered by a powerful east wind.
We had heard of the city's glory, but now we have seen it ourselves.
The city of the Lord of heaven's armies.
It is the city of our God.
He will make it safe forever.
O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your temple.
as your name deserves, O God, you will be praised to the end of the earth.
Your strong right hand is filled with victory.
Let the people on Mount Zion rejoice.
Let all the towns of Judah be glad because of your justice.
Go inspect the city of Jerusalem, walk around and count the many towers.
Take note of the fortified walls and tour all the citadels,
that you may describe them to future generations.
For this is what God is like.
He is our God forever and ever, and he will guide us until we die.
Listen to this, all you people, pay attention, everyone in the world.
High and low, rich and poor, listen.
For my words are wise, and my thoughts are filled with insight.
I listen carefully to many proverbs, and solve riddles with inspiration from a harp.
Why should I fear when troubles come, when enemies surround me?
They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches, yet they cannot redeem themselves from
death by paying a ransom to God. Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough
to live forever and never see the grave. Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and
senseless, leaving all their wealth behind. The grave is their eternal home, where they will stay
forever. They may name their estates after themselves, but their fame will not last. They will die,
just like animals. This is the fate of fools, though they are remembered as being wise. Like sheep,
they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd. In the morning, the godly will rule over them.
Their bodies will rot in the grave, far from their grand estate. But as for me, God will redeem my life.
He will snatch me from the power of the grave. So don't be dismayed when the wicked grow rich,
and their homes become ever more splendid. For when they die, they will be able to be able to be able to be.
will take nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave. In this life,
they consider themselves fortunate and are applauded for their success. But they will die like all
before them, and never again see the light of day. People who boast of their wealth don't understand.
They will die, just like animals. The Lord, the mighty one, is God, and he has spoken. He has
summoned all humanity from where the sun rises to where it sets. From Mount Zion,
perfection of beauty, God shines in glorious radiance. Our God approaches, and he is not silent.
Fire devours everything in his way, and a great storm rages around him. He calls on the heavens
above and earth below to witness the judgment of his people. Bring my faithful people to me,
those who made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices. Then let the heavens proclaim his justice,
for God himself will be the judge.
My people, listen as I speak. Here are my charges against you, O Israel. I am God, your God. I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer, but I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens, for all the animals of the forest are mine. And I own the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird on the mountains, and all the animals of the field are mine. If I were hungry, I would not tell you. For all the
the world is mine and everything in it. Do I eat the meat of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats?
Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the most high.
Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.
But God says to the wicked, why bother reciting my decrees, and pretending to obey my covenant,
for you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash. When you see you.
see thieves, you approve of them, and you spend your time with adulterers. Your mouth is filled with
wickedness, and your tongue is full of lies. You sit around and slander your brother, your own mother's son,
while you did all this. I remained silent, and you thought I didn't care. But now I will rebuke you,
listing all my charges against you. Repent, all of you who forget me, or I will tear you apart,
and no one will help you. But giving thanks as a sacrifice that truly honors me.
If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God.
Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion, blot out the stains of my sins.
Wash me clean of my guilt.
Purify me from my sin.
For I recognize my rebellion.
It haunts me day and night.
Against you, and you alone, I have sinned.
I have done what is evil in your sight.
You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.
For I was born a sinner, yes, from the moment my mother conceived me, but you desire honesty from the womb, teaching me wisdom even there.
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Oh, give me back my joy again. You have broken me. Now let me rejoice. Don't keep looking at my sins. Remove the stain of my guilt.
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal speech.
spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don't take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your
ways to rebels, and they will return to you. Forgive me for shedding blood, O God who saves. Then I will
joyfully sing of your forgiveness. Unseal my lips, O Lord, that my mouth may praise you. You do not
desire a sacrifice or I would offer one. You do not want a burnt offering. The sacrifice you desire
is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, oh God. Look with favor on
Zion and help her. Rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with sacrifices
offered in the right spirit. With burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings, then bulls will again be
sacrificed on your altar. Why do you boast? Why do you boast?
about your crimes, great warrior. Don't you realize God's justice continues forever? All day long you plot
destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor. You're an expert at telling lies. You love evil more than good,
and lies more than truth. You love to destroy others with your words, you liar. But God will
strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the
living. The righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say, look what happened to mighty
warriors who do not trust in God. They trust in their wealth instead and grow more and more bold
in their wickedness. But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust
in God's unfailing love. I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. I will trust in your
good name, in the presence of your faithful people. Only fools say in that.
their hearts, there is no God. They are corrupt and their actions are evil. Not one of them does good.
God looks down from heaven on the entire human race. He looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God. But no, all have turned away. All have become corrupt. No one does good,
not a single one. Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread,
and wouldn't think of praying to God.
Terror will grip them.
Terror like they have never known before.
God will scatter the bones of your enemies.
You will put them to shame, for God has rejected them.
Who will come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel?
When God restores his people, Jacob will shot with joy,
and Israel will rejoice.
Come with great power, O God, and rescue me.
Defend me with your might.
Listen to my prayer, O God.
pay attention to my plea for strangers are attacking me violent people are trying to kill me they care nothing for god
but god is my helper the lord keeps me alive may the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them do as you
promised and put an end to them i will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you i will praise your name o lord for it is good
for you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies listen to
to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my cry for help. Please listen and answer me, for I am overwhelmed
by my troubles. My enemies shout at me, making loud and wicked threats. They bring trouble on me,
and angrily hunt me down. My heart pounds in my chest. The terror of death assaults me.
Fear and trembling overwhelm me, and I can't stop shaking. Oh, that I had wings like a dove,
then I would fly away and rest. I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness.
How quickly I would escape, far from this wild storm of hatred.
Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city.
Everything is falling apart.
Threats and cheating are rampant in the streets.
It is not an enemy who taunts me.
I could bear that.
It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me.
I could have hidden from them.
Instead, it is you, my equal, my companion, and close friend.
What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God.
Let death stalk my enemies.
Let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.
But I will call on God, and the Lord will rescue me.
Morning, noon, and night.
I cry out in my distress, and the Lord hears my voice.
He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me.
Though many still oppose me, God who has ruled forever will hear me and humble me.
For my enemies refuse to change their ways. They do not fear God. As for my companion,
he betrayed his friends. He broke his promises. His words are so smooth as butter,
but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers.
Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not. He will not
permit the godly to slip and fall. But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction.
Murderers and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me. Oh, God, have mercy on me,
for people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long. I am constantly hounded by those who
slander me, and many are boldly attacking me. But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
I will praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God. So why should I should be? So why should
I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? They are always twisting what I say. They spend their days
plotting to harm me. They come together to spy on me, watching my every step, eager to kill me.
Don't let them get away with their wickedness. In your anger, O God, bring them down. You keep track
of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one
in your book. My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This is.
I know, God is on my side. I praise God for what he has promised. Yes, I praise the Lord for what he is
promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? I will fulfill my
vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help, for you have rescued me
from death. You have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God,
in your life-giving light. Have mercy on me.
O God, have mercy. I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wing until the
danger passes by. I cry out to God most high, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. He will send
help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. My God will send forth his unfailing love
and faithfulness. I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey, whose teeth pierce like
spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords. Be exalted, O God, above the highest
heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth. My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from
distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. My heart is
confident in you, O God. My heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises. Wake up my heart.
Wake up, O liar and harp. I will wake up, O liar and harp. I will wake
the dawn with my song, I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praise among the
nations, for your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth. Justice,
do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly? No, you plot injustice
in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land. These wicked people,
are born sinners. Even from birth, they have lied and gone their own way. They spit venom like deadly snakes.
They are like cobras that refuse to listen, ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully
they play. Break off their fangs, oh God, smash the jaws of these lions, O Lord. May they disappear
like water into thirsty ground. Make their weapons useless in their hands. May they be like snails that
dissolve into slime like a stillborn child who will never see the sun. God will sweep them away,
both young and old, faster than a pot heats over burning thorns. The godly will rejoice when they
see unjust avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked. Then at last everyone will say
there truly is a reward for those who live for God. Surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.
me from my enemies, O God. Protect me from those who have come to destroy me. Rescue me from these
criminals. Save me from these murderers. They have set an ambush for me. Fierce enemies are out there
waiting, Lord, though I have not sinned or offended them. I have done nothing wrong, yet they
prepare to attack me. Wake up, see what is happening, and help me. Oh, Lord God of Heaven's
armies, the God of Israel, wake up and punish those hostile nations. Show no mercy.
to wicked traitors. They come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs, as they prowl the streets.
Listen to the filth that comes from their mouths, their words cut like swords. After all, who can hear us?
They sneer. But Lord, you laugh at them. You scuff at all the hostile nations. You are my strength.
I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God, are my fortress. In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me.
He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies.
Don't kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons.
Stagger them with your power and bring them to their knees, O Lord, our shield.
Because of the sinful things they say, because of the evil that is on their lips,
let them be captured by their pride, their curses, and their lies.
Destroy them in your anger.
Wipe them out completely, then the whole world will know that God reigns in Israel.
My enemies come out at night, snarling like vicious dogs, as they prowl the streets.
They scavenge for food but go to sleep unsatisfied.
But as for me, I will sing about your power.
Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love.
For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
O my strength, to you I sing praises.
For you, O God, are my refuge, and the God who shows me unfailing love.
You have rejected us, O God, and broken our defenses.
You have been angry with us.
Now restore us to your favor.
You have shaken our land and split it open.
Seal the cracks for the land trembles.
You have been very hard on us.
Make us drink wine that send us reeling.
But you have raised a banner for those who fear you,
a rallying point in the face of attack.
Now rescue your beloved people.
Answer and save us by your power.
God is promised this by His holiness.
I will divide up scheme with joy.
I will measure out the valley of Sakoth.
Gilead is mine.
Amonessa too.
Ephraim, my helmet, will produce my warriors, and Judah, my sceptre, will produce my kings.
But Moab, my wash-basin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Adam, and shout in triumph over Philistine.
Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Idom? Have you rejected us,
O God? Will you no longer march with our enemies? Oh, please help us against our enemies, for all human help is useless.
With God's help, we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes.
O God, listen to my cry, hear my prayer.
From the end of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my
enemies cannot reach me.
Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings.
For you have heard my vows, O God.
You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your own.
name. Add many years to the life of the king. May his years span the generations. May he reign under
God's protection forever. May your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him. Then I will sing
praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day. I wait quietly before God, for my victory
comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, where I will never be shaken. So many
enemies against one man, all of them trying to kill me. To them, I'm just a broken down wall or a
tottering fence. They plan to topple me from my high position. They delight in telling lies about me.
They praise me to my face, but curse me in their hearts. Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.
My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
O my people, trust in him at all times.
Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.
Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind,
and the powerful are not what they appear to be.
If you weigh them on the scales, together they are lighter than a breath of air.
Don't make your living by extortion or put your hope in stone.
dealing. And if your wealth increases, don't make it the center of your life. God has spoken
plainly, and I have heard it many times. Power, O God, belongs to you. Unfailing love,
O Lord, is yours. Surely, you repay all people according to what they have done. Oh, God, you are my God,
I earnestly search for you, my soul thirsts for you, my whole body longs for you, in this
parched and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your
power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself. How I praise you. I will praise you as long
as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will
praise you with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.
Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wing. I sing for joy in the shadow of your wing.
I cling to you. Your strong right hand holds me securely. But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.
They will go down into the depths of the earth. They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God. All who swear to tell the truth will praise him, while liars will be silenced.
And that was the end of Psalm 63. So we read through
Psalm 47 to 63. This is kind of fun, guys. I really like reading through the Psalms with y'all.
That is where we'll stop for today. If this is something that you guys would want to continue to do,
I think it could be so fun. I don't know. Maybe we could do a fun little series where we just read
through the rest of Psalms. I know that we kind of started at a random spot. We didn't start at the
beginning of Psalms. We did start at Psalm 35 because that's just like where I randomly opened to and felt
led to just read and start there.
But it could be fun to continue to read the Psalms.
So if you guys would want more of this, let me know, because I'm really enjoying it.
Thank you guys so much for being here for another episode.
I appreciate you guys so much.
I love you so much.
I'm so proud of you guys.
I'm proud of the people that you are.
I'm proud of your hearts for Jesus.
And I just hope you have the most blessed weekend and the most blessed week until we
get back together next Friday.
But guys, before we go, can we just do something really cool today?
Can we show somebody how cool Jesus is?
Can we walk more like him, talk more like him, be more like Christ today and reflect his kindness to everybody around us?
I love y'all and I will see you in the next episode.
Bye.
