The Forever Job

Genesis 2:15-19 and thinking about how God chooses to reveal His plan for our lives.

[@patriciagibbs4319]

Steve, thank you soooo much for keeping your moms memory’s alive for us. I use her recipes all the time. I don’t know much about keeping a channel going only to say thank you so much. Happy Thanksgiving to you snd family.

[@PhyllisStokes]

Thank you, Patricia!

Ahhhhhhhh!! I almost fell off my chair when I heard this!! I am carnivore for 8 months now lost 80ish(201 to 125) pound, mentally I feel SO SO much better all that fat is great for your brain! Good luck on your food journey! All GREAT YT carnivore's Bella the steak and butter gal Ken Berry MD Shawn Baker MD Laura Spath

Dr Eric Berg also has great keto information. ✌️

[@TreasureRescue]

@Brittany Olson I agree, I'm on that journey as well. Love the docs you mentioned.

[@louisenurse1234]

@@jesusislord2457 He does but he is a chiropractor and sells supplements. I saw his son on a program exposing him as a Scientologist that is rich selling those vitamins. Dr. Ken Berry is a family physician. Forgive if I seem blunt but typing doesn’t allow for a smile.😍

@@louisenurse1234 I saw that too! Berg has given millions to Scientology church, which is a cult, according to Berg's son. I will not watch him.

Your mom would be so proud that you have chosen to carry on after in this way. She raised a good son and it is no surprise as she and Mr. Bucky obviously were so special.

[@sw2849]

I think you were blessed with a great mother too.

[@melindagoodpaster8028]

Enjoy your videos. I still watch your Mom's videos. Miss her and Mr.Bucky so much. Thank you for leaving her videos up and for the videos you share.

[@louisenurse1234]

Same here. It is a comfort to visit her & Mr. Bucky from time to time. Thanksgiving I enjoy using her recipe’s. Her bread pudding with rum sauce is out of this World. Have a Happy Thanksgiving too.

[@kathyreid1481]

Welcome home Stephen. Glad you're back. The beginning of '21, I unknowingly started keto and by Oct had lost 70 lbs. But after having "C", the hospital and Drs sent me home receiving meals sent to me. Full of carbs. Gained 20 lbs back but now want to do carnivore. Dr. Ken Berry is great in explaining it. God Bless you and the family. Empty nest, husband died just before I had to go into hospital. God has been with me every step of the way and sent His servants to help me through as well. I have been Blessed.😇🙏👐

[@lindaharris7728]

I'm so glad I have found Jesus in my life I love him so he has directed my life for the better I only trust Jesus he never fails us or hurt us he loves so much he died for us amen

[@Patricia-iq1nw]

You truly have a gift from God when it comes to teaching his word what’s funny is this morning I read Genesis 1,2,3&4 when I read God‘s word I always ask Him for wisdom and knowledge of his word and there you were talking about Genesis and I realize God was teaching me through you the first thing I said was thank you God. He is so wonderful and glorious our savior and our king. Thank you for sharing God‘s word🙏

[@jjsolly5039]

Welcome back to the Sunday devotionals, Col Stephen! Missed your thought-provoking questions - and Bella's! After a wildfire burned up our whole town and my home and All I had, I considered this very question! I joked that, " I was meaning to downsize!" But I can see how the Lord took someting I never would have chosen - and blessed my sox! (Which is a good thing because I needed sox!) Who'd have guessed I'd get a do-over at this age?! But the Lord has blessed me time and again since the fire. And I trust Him a whole lot more! When I start to worry now, I remember "He's got this!" "Be anxious for nothing but in all things, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Happy Thanksgiving, Col Stephen!🙏✝️🙂💕🍗

[@PhyllisStokes]

What a wonderful testimony! Thank you!

[@russtex]

Wow! So true! She is brilliant!

[@lindabishop2961]

I still watch and miss your mom! I keep making several of her dishes, my family loves them. I have enjoyed “being an unknown member of your precious family”. May God continue to bless and protect you all! Thank you for your service, your mom was so proud of her family! We do not know everything so Eve could of had Children before the fall! God created man because HE WANTED a family!✝️💕

[@louisenurse1234]

Yes, I agree.

*Phyllis Stokes and son appreciate your videos Listening 🌟 from Mass USA TYVM 💙*

[@cindymichaud7111]

Thank you, Col. Steve. That old saying, "You had ONE job..." Bella is a smart girl, because I hadn't looked at Adam in that way, but it's true. He failed Eve, but more importantly, he failed God. We don't want to fail the Lord, but so often we do. Isn't it such unspeakable grace and mercy that HE forgives us in our repentance? Praise His Name 🙏✝💖🕊🦁🐑💖

[@makinitsch9113]

Thank you for filling the void since the passing of your mother. I do miss her, she was a tough act to follow, but you are doing a great job. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I know I'm thankful for many things, including having run across your mother's videos, and then you stepping in. Your Sunday messages are a blessing to many people.

[@cattmi5176]

Nice to see you are back home with your family. Been watching a few of the last videos of your Mom's. Miss her. She passed around the same time my Mother did. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving Day. God bless you all.

[@louisenurse1234]

[@kaylajensen9670]

I tried the carnivore diet and had very positive results. I think it's the only diet that has helped my insulin resistance and weight.

[@disco07]

I don't really see it as a "Fall" per se. But an evolution in the rise of spiritual consciousness. God has brought us to this point and we are forever evolving in his love. At this point, there is no blame, only responsibility to do what is right in God's plan. Happy holidays Colonel.

[@junewoodward8982]

Hi Colonel, I relate to your devotional so well. I love Bella's thoughts and contemplation of how our mighty Lord and Saviour works in our lives. I've found in the toughest times in life, where you really think you should turn left, you end up turning right, I know that's when God takes the reins and guides me , to make the best decision for my well being. We just have to let go, and know He will always guide us to our betterment. So lovely to see you Colonel, made my morning 😊. Love to all the family. Take care.xo😊❤

[@vickihayes7523]

Oh Steve u just can’t stop the devotionals - I look forward to them every week. U bring so much to the life experiences in relation to scripture . Please think long and hard before starting a all meat & cheese diet - the animals are so mistreated being all clustered together in one area & so the meat from them can’t be all that healthy ! And besides it wasn’t God’s plan for man to live on meat . He provided all the nutrients we need to keep the body in good working order in a plant based diet . Anyway I pray for u and all ur family every morning . Glad ur home with ur family !

[@Jacelyn5440]

This is a great thought, Steve. The older we get and the longer we walk with God (yeah -- a bit ahead of you in age....) we do learn that He is truly looking out for our best and if we can put aside out humanness, we can see Him and what He wants us to see. I am no more "righteous" than anyone else, and I have had my times of failings before God, but He always picks me up and helps me get back on track. I have told my children in times past -- when you are facing something and you don't know what to do, just keep walking in God. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

I have truly missed your Sunday morning videos, welcome back! I truly believe with all my being that, in my life, the Lord only allows short glimpses of the road ahead because if it were not so then perhaps we wouldn't hold as tightly to Him or His perfect will and His leading in our lives.

[@jcboom6894]

Thanks for the blessing. I am glad Bella is home for Thanksgiving. You still look 10 years younger than you did the last months in the UAE. I know the plan was for the RMR to join you and Covid blew that to pieces. As a community commercial pilot you should not be gone for months at a time. You should not have a problem getting hired, there is a shortage, I have heard.

[@cchap-222]

Regarding your devotion about why God doesn't let us see ahead, my mom said she used to always ask that question when she was young that boy she wished she could see the future. She told me if she had seen the future there's no way she could have gone on with her life because there was so much tragedy that my mom had to go through and if she had seen it ahead of time she'd have thought there's no way I can make it through, but each day God gives you the strength an energy that you need to make it through. I guess that's why he's God because he knows best. I really don't want to know the future because I know there's heartache I'm sure somewhere in there and I don't want to see it ahead of time. But it is good to ponder and think how good God is to let us see only what we need to see because just like Adam and Eve we'd mess things up. Good talk keep up the good work
