Lord, thank you for your, for your grace, and your goodness. Lord, you've given us, so much treasure and, Lord, it's overwhelming. There's some sometimes to think about what our lifestyle should be and, where we should work and how many hours and how much we should save and what about retirement and Lord, in all this, just let us not, not, your words is not lean on our own wisdom. but just to lean on you and to realize that our faith is in you.
You give us wonderful principles in your word, help us to study them diligently, but, but more than the wisdom we gain, Lord, let us draw near to you, because whatever happens in our life, we know that nothing happens to us that doesn't go through your loving hand. and we just thank you for that, for that truth. Help us to, to pay attention, help us be listening to your spirit this morning for what you want to say to us. just open your word as we go through it, in Jesus' name.
