00:00:34 --> 00:00:37 Hello and welcome to MOMO 634.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 Dark days descend out of nowhere sometimes.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51 And as we've discussed here previously, we aren't always rational.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:56 So having a mini list of things to think about helps when we

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 have a fuzzy brain

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 thanks to the fog of depression.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05 Here's a short list of three things you can hang on to when you

00:01:05 --> 00:01:05 feel down.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 One, nothing can separate you from God's love.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:18 Romans 8, 35-39 tells us, Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 Shall trouble or distress,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23 or persecution or famine,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26 or nakedness or danger or sword?

00:01:27 --> 00:01:32 As it is written, For your sake we face death all day long.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35 We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 through him who loved us.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47 neither angels nor principalities,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 neither the present nor the future,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51 nor any powers,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 neither height nor depth,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:59 nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00 from the love of God

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05 Think about it.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 God needs nothing.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:11 There is nothing we can give him that he needs to run the world.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15 Acts 17 25 says,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18 Nor is he served by human hands,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 as if he needed anything,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:26 because he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30 Plus, he loved you while you were a sinner.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35 So it's not any goodness on our part that causes him to love us.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42 Romans 5.8 says, But God proves his love for us in this.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:49 While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

00:02:49 --> 00:02:49 2.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53 You won't always feel this bad.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57 Statistically, it doesn't compute.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02 3.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02 You just have to get through today.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:08 That's the 634 part of Momo 634, taken from Matthew 634.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11 Therefore,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 do not worry about tomorrow,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 for tomorrow will worry about itself.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20 Today has enough trouble of its own.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23 Just focus on getting through today.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26 In fact, sometimes it's hour by hour.

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 or minute by minute.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:37 Our meme for today says, when dark days come, his word is our umbrella.
