    Steve, excellent sermonette. Church was cancelled this morning due to icy roads and it was as God planned it , here you are with your little sermon on Moses and our listening to God's will for our lives. Thank you so much for listening to Him and being able and willing to do these sermons. God's blessings to you.

    Stephen, I think we can be humble and ambitious. Our son-who passed away last year was a good example of that. He had a mechanical engineering degree-he was very smart, very successful in his job. He was ambitious his entire life. Always a good kind son, husband, dad, uncle, friend. After he passed away the 400 people that came to his visitation-many of them work friends and neighbors. We were told so many stories of the character our son had displayed in many situations. Several related that they had made costly mistakes on the job, but Blake, being their team leader, never embarrassed them. He would call a private meeting with them and ask how could he assist them so the mistake didn’t happen again. The gist was he was always willing to help whomever needed help, treated the janitorial staff just like he treated company executives. Yes, our sweet boy was always ambitious and always kind. ♥️

    Wonderful devotional Steve. All we need to be is humble enough to submit to God's will. He will lovingly take care of the rest. It is a great lesson to all of us.

    Wow! Very nice reminder to do the lords work. Yes sometimes it's a little confusing humble vs ambitious, but the lord always guides us if we are willing. Thank you for taking your time to do these videos. Always a pleasure to listen to. Many blessings for a happy healthy holiday season to you and your family.

    You have found your niche, well done Mr Steve. Looking thru Divinity recipes and Ms Phylis pops up and she makes it on a (no no) rainy day, with her work around it’s perfect of course ! I’m just a county from where she was born, her knowledge on country cooking is a true gift and valuable forever. Those old cake recipes are still the best, I was raised on them being just 20 or so years behind your Mom. Love & Prayers for their family, in Honor of Ms Phylis and Mr Bucky from NC Mtns

    Hi Steve !
    Thanks for starting back your devotionals !
    You are so right about humility and ambition coexisting !
    Sometimes I tend to tell God what I want, instead of asking what He wants. Reminds me of an old man prayer IHeard once. " Lord I don't like old sour buttermilk, and I don't like old greasy lard, and I sure don't like old dry powdery flour. But when You put your hands in it and knead it together and cook it up for a while I sure do like them biscuits !
    Thanks again !
    God keep you, God bless you,and your family have a great Christmes !

    I forgot your grandfather was a master welder in the ship yards and built his own house. Does it still stand? Have you ever been to it?
    I was watching your mommas video of the 1950’s foods! Linked below! I can’t tell you how soothing she is to listen to! When I get lonely for my mother who is in a care center hundreds of miles away with Alzheimer’s and dementia your mothers voice give me comfort! Thought you would like to know that! God bless you and your lovely ones! Merry Christmas from the SD prairies.

      The house is still standing. Mom and my Aunt sold it back in the late 90's. I drove past it about 10 years ago. It seemed smaller than I remember, but that is the way of things, isn't it?

    I willfully sinned. I so believe I have lost my salvation. I had so many things happening and so many voices. But I not only believe bc of that I also committed preverbs 29:1. I am looking for hope from anyone.
    I was so on fire for the Lord - it’s all my own doing. 😭

      Don't give up, Heather! "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness." Remember Peter denied Jesus three times. God knows we fail and stumble. Keep trying! Keep fighting! Don't give up!
