#GodIsOurPortion
“Here's the crazy part. If that weren't good enough, he then gives us an inheritance. He gives us a portion. Yes, sir. He calls us a royal priesthood. He gives us he allows us we can enter into the throne of grace, enter into his presence anytime we want to. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, lord. Our portion is greater because he is greater. Our God is good to us because the good he gives is himself. Amen.”

#TendYourGarden
“You must take ownership of your own garden. In Genesis chapter two verse 15, when God made Adam, God put him in a do you know that God put you in a garden? Yeah. And when he put him in a garden, he said that he may walk it and take care of it. was responsible for that garden. So all that story, it was a serpent. It was a snake. It was all that one. God was just looking at him. I gave you this garden to take care of. You're telling me serpents. You have a garden to take care of. Every human being has been handed a plot of ground and made responsible for it. Your body, your mind, your thoughts, your emotion, they are yours to take care of.”

#JesusGaveEverything
“Church, as I get ready to wrap up, I want you to know that the New Testament does something incredibly beautiful for us to help us understand this. God gives the greatest gift that we will ever receive in Jesus. Jesus arrives. He comes on the scene. He lays down his life. He sacrifices everything for us. His body is torn apart. His blood spills out for us. Sir. He's given us everything in his son. We lived a life of sin. We were far apart from him. And he gave us everything in his son. The crazy part is his son dies, Jesus dies, fully god, fully man. He exchanges his righteousness for our sin. He gives us his righteousness. He takes our sin. He dies. And to prove that he is god and that his mercy endures forever. He he on the third day, he rises from the grave.”

#ComparisonDistortsGod
“So that's what envy does to us, church. Envy literally diminishes our view of who god is. It fills the frame with what they have and what we lack until God is completely pushed out of you. And so once God disappears, our comparison starts to write god's theology for us. Our comparison of what we don't have and what other people have starts to tell us who god is. It starts to tell us that the their prosperity begins to let us know that God is not good evidently. It starts to tell us that our pain begins to let us know that God is not wise. That his silence tells us that God is not near, and it starts to write it for us. Thank you, babe.”

#YetGodIsWithMe
“But then verse twelve twenty three tells us what he does have. He says, yet, I am always with you. You hold my hand. So he begins to after confessing that he was a wild beast, that he was foolishness, that he his bitterness was aimed at god, he his very next words is yet. Or for us it might be but, yet I am always with you. And so he's starting to now see and he's moving to a place of confession because he recognized this whole time, every night he spent watching what people were adding on to their life, every time he stood out the window and watched, even then God was with him. That God's hand never let go of him.”

#EnvyOnTrial
“But instead, envy is far more serious than simply wishing you had what someone else has. Envy is the sorrow or resentment we feel because someone else possesses a good that we want. And often beneath it is the suspicion that God has been better to them than he has been to me. Essentially, it is putting God on trial. It's putting him in the defendant's chair. It it looks at what he gave us, and it looks at what he gave or I should say, it looks at what he gave them, and it looks at what he didn't give us.”
58s
#EnvyBlindsToGod
“Even the crazy thing about actually through verse two through 14, it's not so much what he sees. It's actually who he doesn't see. If you notice through two to 14, he doesn't see God at all. God is just completely absent. The the person that he is learning about is absent. 13 verses about their bodies, about their money, about their mouths, about their ease, even Asaph's own aching chest. And yet the only time god shows up is when he is being mocked by the wicked. So, essentially, envy has shrunken Asaph's entire world down just to one small window. And through that window, he could only see two things. He could only see what they had, and he could only see what he didn't. Yeah. So there was no room for god in that frame.”

#GodStillGood
“``And so while he was calling his obedience a waste and vanity, While he was acting like a wild animal, while he was acting foolish, Asaph says, god didn't. God was always with me. God always held my hand. this is the goodness that Asaph announced early in verse one where he says, before he told us anything else, he says, god is indeed good to Israel. He's good enough to keep you even while you are questioning whether he is good. That's crazy to me. Y'all didn't hear what I just said. God good enough to keep us while we are questioning his good. That's crazy to me.”

#SeeGodClearly
“in his presence, he can now see god rightly. He can see the world rightly, and he can see his heart rightly. He can see that even in god's presence, it is clear that god doesn't abandon us. He hasn't thrown us away. He helps us to see the conditions of our heart. And we begin, and this is the most important part. We begin to measure god's goodness by not what we don't have, but what god has given us. Amen.”
