Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today. I want you to know that Victoria and I are praying for you and your family this summer and just asking God to bring you more peace and joy and victory than you've ever seen before. Know that God's for you. He's got you in the palm of his hand, and I hope you enjoy the message today. Well, God bless you. It's great to be with you today. And I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit us in person. We'd love to have you be a part of one of our services. I'd like to start with something funny. And I heard about this old country farmer. He was taking his nephew camping for the first time.
And his nephew had five degrees and was one of the smartest men alive. They set up their tent and quickly fell asleep. Middle of the night, the farmer woke up his nephew, said, look up, what do you see? The nephew said, I see millions of stars. Country farmer said, I know that, but what does it tell you? He said, astronomically, tells me there are billions of galaxies. Meteorologically, it tells me it's going to be a beautiful day. Theologically, tells me that God's a great creator. What does it tell you? The old farmer shook his head and said, tells me somebody stole our tent. All right, y'all, 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 daily renewal. We all have to deal with stress from everyday life and pressures at work, raising our children. People do us wrong. We make mistakes. There are plenty of opportunities to get discouraged, live offended, be jealous. These things are like toxins that contaminate our mind, cloud our vision, take our joy. We can't stop them from coming, but we don't have to allow them to stay. And every morning you need to do a cleansing where you release any worry. You forgive the people that did you wrong. You come back to a place of peace, knowing that God is in control.
You start the day in faith, believing that he has good things in store, grateful that you're alive. That's getting rid of all the toxins, the things that will contaminate your life. It needs to be a daily renewal. If you allow the discouragement to stay, the offense, they did me wrong, or the insecurity, I'm not good enough, you're dwelling on that day after day, it's gonna become a stronghold. It'll sour your attitude, make you critical, you don't have the creativity. It's because these toxins are poisoning your life. You need to develop this process of release, a habit where you daily forgive, daily let go of hurts, daily renew your mind, remind yourself who God says you are, daily grateful, thanking God for what he's done.
When you have this daily cleansing, things can't build up. Sure, they're gonna come, but you don't let them stay. The scripture says God's mercies are new every morning. not once a month, not every year. Every morning, there's fresh mercy waiting for you, but you have to receive it. David said, each day I take my request to God and wait expectantly. He was saying, I get up every morning, I go to God with my concerns, and then I wait in faith, believing that he's working in my life. He didn't let the doubt build up. God, why am I stuck in these shepherd's fields? I have no future here. Discouragement came to him. God, why is Saul chasing me? I haven't done anything wrong. Offense came. But David understood this principle.
Every morning, he had to go through a cleansing, release the offense, release the discouragement. That's what kept him from being contaminated, getting bitter and giving up on dreams. It was a daily renewal. The psalmist said, joy comes in the morning. During the day, doubt may come, worry may come, tough day at the office, the medical report hasn't improved.
