Let's open our Bibles to the book of Job chapter 31 and as we do so a couple of other announcements that I want to share with you and And then we'll get into our study. We'll be looking at the chapter. I Mentioned that we have An Israel trip that has been planned and now is we're gonna in the Lord we're gonna move forward with Anyway, Israel we were talking about that weren't we We have 207 people who have signed up with a desire to go to Israel that blows my mind We've never seen anything like that before but I did notice that John has signed up a hundred and twenty-three times that may be messing up the count Which tells me that there's a great interest to go and I I love Israel my wife Marie and I Don't even know how many times we've gone. We've gone at least 27 times and It's just a blessing to go every time we go and I would love you guys Obviously to be able to go with us and if you can we'd love to have you and so the dates have been settled The the the price we're still working on that, but I'm working with them to keep it down as far as we can Um 4,345 at the max But I'm hoping to keep it down Just letting you know for those of you who would like to go with us and so that will be God willing coming up in Next in next year and in March and so a second thing I'd like to share is As a praise report some of you are already aware of and others may not be on Sunday this last Sunday I Was home and my my daughter Called me my daughter Corinne and she was in tears We have a family in our church Their last name is Rosalis like my own though. They're not related to me and Robert and Val and they've been with us many years and they have like six babies and as they They the babies have pretty much been born in this fellowship and I've dedicated. I believe dedicated all of them.  So they've kind of adopted me, you know, and so I think that's cool I like that and so I Dedicated one of the babies not that long ago and and I forget what the girls will do They they will always walk up and hug me They always do and even when I was dedicating the baby just before I did that here come the little girls They've got to hug me and it's just a real precious thing to me And so a couple of weeks ago I was walking to a meeting after a Sunday morning and here they come running up Everyone one at a time They're all growing older now and the little one one of them is two years old Risa and she she comes toddling up You know, she's a little toddler and first for her first time She grabbed my leg and she gave me a hug for the first time that I've had a hug from Risa and everything So she they're dear to me. They mean something to me. So I get a phone call on Sunday night my daughter's Korean is in tears Because Brisa had fallen into a pool and drowned Yeah She fell into a pool and drowned They don't they didn't know how long she'd been in the water. They noticed that she was gone and Looked for her and ran to the pool and there she was at the bottom of the pool and they pulled her out and she was blue and Robert was on staff here for a number of years and we've had CPR training and he put that training into practice and Began to attempt to resuscitate his baby and it was at a nurse a friend of theirs He was a nurse and she was doing what she could and an ambulance came and I get the phone call and my my daughter is saying daddy She's saying Brisa drowned and the Russian her to Loma Linda. She this is what her words at that time were She's in a coma dad. We've got to pray and so We wanted to to guard their privacy in some ways I'm I'm not one who thinks you should just go out and blast people's names, you know I think sometimes it's it's it's the proper thing to do because I'm invading the parents privacy is to say we have a situation please pray and You know leave them unnamed to the best of our ability and so there were people who were aware and we're beginning to pray and My wife and I and my son Joseph and his wife Karina my all my kids know them and love them And so, you know in different places different homes They're praying and and those who heard were praying and and I woke up many times during the night, you know, you know praying for the poor little baby girl and The next morning Of course the next day I forget if was what time it was I got a phone call and He says she came out of it. She's Breathing talking laughing eating. God did a miracle. God did a miracle He did a miracle and I just you know in the midst of all the bad news, isn't that good news? I mean that the Lord is still on the throne, right? He's still on the throne. I don't know why he doesn't answer every one of our prayers like that. I wish he did He doesn't but you know what he did this time and so I just wanted to give that report to you before we get into the word Our God is still on the throne. Our God is a healing God. He is able and I Just just before I came in I saw a video of her, you know Talking and laughing and and I'm just so so very blessed and I know Robert and Val if any of you knew and We're praying I know that they would personally say thank you and on their behalf for those who were aware of this We we thank you for your prayers and and how appropriate is that we know that our God answers prayer And then tomorrow is the day of prayer and I hope you pray that you're able to be with us tomorrow night And if you can be with us in the prayer in a Chino City Hall area, that would be a blessing too But that said here we go chapter 31 I'm gonna read to you verses 1 through 4 and I'll get into our study The Job said I have made a covenant with my eyes Why then should I look upon a young woman? for what is the allotment of God from above and the inheritance of The Almighty from on high is it not destruction for the wicked and disaster for the workers of iniquity Does he not see my ways? and count all my steps and So at this point as we're looking at the book of Job Job is continuing a speech that he began to give in chapter previous to this one and In this particular Speech to this defense of his of his life and character he begins to speak concerning his own moral purity Now he's already pointed out that he's lost the respect of his community He has already pointed out that he feels that he's been abandoned by God and Man and he says this is totally unwarranted and this is completely unfair We've been looking at the book of Job and we've seen that The way they were speaking of him and how he had lost everything including The respect that he once had and we've seen that this was something this losing of respect was was something especially Injurious to him in chapter 30. He had spoken of how he had been treated He spoke of how he had lived His life had been one of faith. He says of honor integrity a life of generosity kindness That's how he had lived and so now he continues his defense by speaking of his own moral purity And so in verse one here he says I've made a covenant with my eyes. Why then should I look upon a young woman? I Have moral purity. I have a desire to to to have a pure life and all in and I made an agreement I made a Testimony between me and my eyes in other words. I have I have made a heartfelt Decision that I was going to live in a proper way. I made a covenant. I'm going to live a morally pure life by choice And he's saying that I've been morally pure He's saying I don't lust after women and I haven't since my youth in Psalm 119 verse 37 the Psalmist said turn my eyes away from worthless things and revive me in your way When he said turn my eyes away from worthless things the word worthless space of the false things of this age of this world The false things that can that can tempt me and seduce me and draw me away from God That would include things like riches and man's honor and and and physical pleasures He says turn me away from the wicked things that would lead me in the wrong path Make my eyes pass quickly from such things so I don't stare at them and long for them Because this desire is that that God would give to him life and he's saying I don't want to contemplate on these things Because when I contemplate when I think about something long enough I begin to desire that so empower me and Power me with the desire and strength to walk away before I'm ensnared Instead of me giving my my strength to these kinds of things. He said empower me to serve you first Well, Job is one who said I have made a covenant with my eyes And I don't want to look on those things I don't want to look upon a young woman the word woman there when he speaks of a woman speaks of a young woman I don't I don't want to be looking at a young woman with lust. I don't desire that at all Billy Graham was once asked What are the things that a young minister should be aware of what are the things to avoid and Billy Graham's Answer is very brief and to the point He said what are the things that will cause a minister to fall? He said pride and women and money Those are the three basic things that Satan uses to tempt people from Genesis. He did that with Eve and with You know a sexual pleasure or sensual pleasures and all and that's what he he actually tried with Jesus when he was tempting him it's a pride and and physical pleasure and Those are things that are called worthless You know as a young man our church our church is going to celebrate In a couple months. We're gonna celebrate our anniversary our church anniversary in July we're gonna have a Sunday night service by the way I'll add those things to this and and it's going to be on July 25th It'll be in the evening and we're gonna have Several worship teams that were with us in the past and reminisce and this and that I was 30 years old when this church began and and I knew I knew these things. I knew that that What was awaiting me as a pastor was going to be the lust of the flesh less of the eyes and the pride of life I knew that I knew that the things that could Could seduce me that could bring me down would include being enticed in that way I Especially wanted to remain a good husband and faithful to my wife and to be a good father to my children and I wanted to to make sure that my moral purity Was intact and remained so and so I made a covenant with my eyes an agreement with my eyes That I would not lust after a young woman because that's basically what are you saying? Why should I look upon a young woman? Why should I be looking at this young lady and just continue to contemplate her and to look at her and Ultimately desire her he said why would I do that? I made a covenant with my eyes that I wouldn't do that And so did I and so I remember saying Jesus I I want to have a pure life I want to have a great marriage. I want to be a good husband. I never want to cause my children or my wife pain I made a covenant in the same way. I can I understand this raise I understand this covenant and so I was in church And it was when our church was maybe a year and a half old it was starting to grow And I was out during the time of worship. We used to meet at the Ontario Christian elementary school and a small small room there that made into a chapel Sat about between two and three hundred people three hundred at the max and we were there And I would come and I sat in the second row and I still remember I would sit in the second row And I would worship and then I'd go up and teach and and all very much like I I did tonight and and yet this one time I was sitting there and this blonde was in front of me long curly hair over the shoulders I still remember wearing jeans and and I was sitting there and I happened to look down and I saw Lacey Underwear, okay, I said it and And I said oh God No, I I Still remember I still remember I Don't I Don't need that. I don't I got real How I closed my eyes real tightly and I made sure I was gonna look at that woman and and I kept my eyes Oh God and Then I got up and I even didn't look in that direction when I walked past didn't look to my left to say hey, baby I didn't do that I I just I Just walked past and it went up onto the platform just like I just did and I walked and I stood here And I had to look down and when I looked down that girl. I looked at was a guy I Felt twice as bad Yeah, let that settle in for a minute It was the most horrible uncomfortable and I said John You're pretty as a blonde No So I understand I understand I Understand this scripture in many ways and I made that covenant and Job made that covenant I don't want to think of those things that'll take me away from you I don't want to to to look at the worthless things of the world the vain things of the world The riches of the world the honors of the world Pleasures of this world. I I want to be turned away from these things I want to be turned away from the things that can lead me down the wrong path and therefore he said Empower me not only with that the the ability to but with the desire to refrain from anything like that I don't want to be ensnared. Well, when you think of it, Job was at one time very rich and With riches comes power Riches are equated with power and Riches are very attractive and speaking from a masculine perspective a Rich man riches men know that riches can be very attractive To some young ladies. They know that they're equated with power and that can be attractive to certain women Now remember this book the book of Job Remember that the book started out by saying that Job was the greatest of all the people of the east the greatest of all the people of the east In other words, he was the financial equivalent will say of Jeff Bezos Now Jeff Bezos many of you know Amazon and this and that Jeff Bezos has a personal worth of two hundred billion dollars And so riches can be very attractive to women as a money as a matter of fact Money can make a man more attractive So somebody asked me a riddle recently. They said this is the riddle if an 80 year old man Has a 29 year old wife Just how rich is that man because that's pretty much what it is money attracts If that was an 80 year old old man who was poor you think a 29 year old beauty queen would go after him of course not why because money is attractive and Job was aware that money made him attractive and Because of this very early in his life. He made a covenant with his eyes And he begins by speaking of a sin that is not always noticed by others notice it He's speaking of a sin that is lust for women Now this is a sin that can be a secret because it originates in the secret place of the heart So instead of secretly lusting for young women, he said I covenanted with God to resist this Because this particular sin has captured many men and women in Proverbs 6 25 It says don't be tempted by their beauty. Don't be trapped by their flirting eyes You see sometimes I'm concerned because I know that many Christians can often be vulnerable to seduction A believer can be naive gullible trusting the wrong person and We can think that because people go to church services. Well, they must be Christians They come to church. They carry a Bible. They go to studies They're involved in the church and we can begin to think that these people are very sincere in their faith, but Once these people have convinced us that that they're safe We can end up destroyed Sexual sin is never without a genuine victim and a genuine price that is paid When you read the book of Proverbs chapter 5 is a chapter dedicated to encouraging Solomon's son to avoid sexual sin and Solomon begins that chapter by telling his son to pay attention to his wisdom and his Understanding and he goes on to say this in in Proverbs 5 3 through 5. He says the lips of an immoral woman drip honey her mouth is smoother than then Anyway, smoother than what I oh That's right. Well Just making sure that I didn't put the oh here and I thought ill. What's that? Okay oil.  What is he saying? Well, he is saying to his son an adulterous can lead you on a path that takes you to hell Because that's where adulterers end up When you look in the New Testament in chapter 5 verse 5 of Ephesians it says of this you can be sure No immoral impure or greedy person such a man is an idolater as any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God You see in our day This verse I have made a covenant with my eyes Why then should I look upon a young woman and other verses in scripture in our day those things are By even believers are very often discounted being without value They'll they'll they'll say things like well, wait a minute. What's the big deal anyway?  You're gonna have alimony.   They graduate from school. They get married And you're not involved Sometimes they're not even invited to the weddings or graduations And you don't end up with a good relationship with your your children or your grandchildren and In the end another man is considered your children's grandfather for what When he says in Proverbs 5 12 he says you say how have I hated instruction my heart despised correction He's saying you end up your life with wasted dreams and nothing, but I wish I would have If only I would have will be your last words So Solomon's instruction concerning this as it relates to making a covenant with your eyes is in Proverbs 5 18 and let your fountain be blessed and rejoice with the wife of your youth Have children but have children with your wife Let your sexual thirst be quenched by your wife Not someone else's wife. You see the fear of the Lord willing obedience and the power of the spirit Can make a way of escape for you? Like Paul said in 1st Corinthians 10 13 no temptation has overtaken you such as but such as his common demand But God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you're able But with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it And so I have made a covenant with my eyes Why then should I look upon a young woman? How am I as a man speaking again from the male Perspective how am I to act towards women well in 1st Timothy chapter 5 verse 2 Paul said we are to treat the younger women as sisters with absolute purity Seeing that men can be distracted and tempted What can women do to be of help? to us Sometimes women think well if you lust or you look it's your own fault I Many years ago now I can say this it's been almost 35 36 years or so ago I had it one time a secretary and she was in working in the front office and I came walking in and as I came walking in again You've got to see I was in my mid 30s at the time so I came walking in and and she was standing at the The counter speak into somebody and as I walked in I'll be real with you guys I mean she was wearing a very short skirt and I felt that's inappropriate You know we're in a church. We got you know, you know, we're supposed to Set an example. I had so many reasons why I thought it was and it was it was inappropriate Plus the fact is that we minister to men and sometimes they have problems in this way. Why would we do that? And so I'm not one who will walk up and tell somebody Something I'll have somebody else to do it another woman on me So one of our secretaries I spoke to her and I said could you speak to her and Let her know that she probably well not she should probably that she should not dress wearing, you know Short skirts and things. It's not appropriate for Period but also for a church and so the response was that the secretary that was spoken to quit and Her response was if he's got a problem with his eyes, that's his problem. Well, that's not true That's not just my problem because we can stumble people in the way that we act and the way that we dress and And it just is the height of narcissism for us to say it's all about me and who cares about you And so the bottom line is is no I wasn't tempted by her but the fact is there are men who will be We had a woman a young woman who was working at the when we used to sell things.  It was called a cassette and We used to sell them after church services, you know of church services and all of that And I was in the back at the kitchen once again at Ontario Christian elementary school where we were meeting and and here comes a young woman and She was wearing I don't know what they're called I'm gonna just use what I used to hear you ladies will know what they are and give me the Update on it if you'd like but we used to call them Daisy Dukes So I know what you know what you know what those are, you know, yeah, yeah I had we had guys in the church who wore those two that was a different ministry, but anyway No, she was wearing and what they used to call a crop top So that her waist was exposed So she's wearing Daisy Dukes in this and I came walking into the back just before I taught and there she is Was and I said That's probably not a good idea though. We did sell a lot of tapes that day, but anyway No, I walked up and I said Again, I don't talk to him. So I went to one of the women. I said, could you please let her know that This isn't the proper way to dress in it in a church So she thank God she went home She changed and came back and and everything was was better, you know It God has created men To be visible we see things in other words visual rather and and yes, we do we notice things We notice things before we notice your face. I mean we notice things That's just the way men are. That's how we're created. I'm not opposed to that. That's how I am You know Adam looked at Eve and he saw her and he said whoa woman, you know, so he That actually is the song by the way You are born of my bone and flesh of my flesh She shall be called woman for she was taken out of man is actually lyrical. That's an actual song So he sang when you saw her but he saw her and sang to her we have been created to notice and we do That's why Job said I made a covenant with my eyes young man or man period Make a covenant with your eyes Make a covenant with your eyes Ask God if you're married ask God God, please refresh in me that knowledge that my wife is the most beautiful woman That I'll ever have that I've ever had and keep your eyes on her Don't be thinking of all the women around you that can be so attractive that that would never have gone out with you Anyway Don't be thinking like that Just pray that God will work in you That kind of love for her as I looked up just now I noticed I'm not going to finish this chapter. I'm in verse one So I'll take you for 20 more minutes Then we'll pick up next time So make that make that decision this actually I think for some fellas and women included today also of course This is something that That is very important the Lord a long time ago Bless me. He gave me a father who loved His wife my dad loved my wife My wife. No, he didn't Love his wife. Oh, he loved my wife too, but he loved his wife My dad loved his wife with all of his heart and my dad taught me To do the same So I've always been and thank God for that even as a dating A kid dating once in a while. I was the guy that was just I Haven't any desire for somebody else if I have this one. That was just me So I learned it for my dad and I watched my dad and I saw my dad never looked at Anybody else? I saw my dad was very dignified. I saw my father as warm and caring But not he was not a man that another woman would ever come up And even in the Hispanic home the Mexican home where you will give the only people that he allowed to kiss him Who were women were his daughters? You know my my wife his daughters-in-law my dad was very proper and I watched that and I grew up that way And I thought that's the best way to be as a man had I not become a Christian I'll be honest with you I just still believe that because the one that I have is the one that I want to stay with So thank God. I'm a one woman man, but Joe was too And he said I made a covenant an agreement with my eyes. Why should I look upon a young woman? It's not just noticing. Why should I stare at her and dress undress with my eyes and desire? He was a very powerful man. He could have had pretty much anyone he wanted because power is attractive and you know what else is righteousness and Righteousness and power combined is very very money is very powerful And so he said no a long time ago as a young man. I made a decision Why should I look upon a young woman? And so I encourage all of us to do that. Yes, and that's how the Lord wants to work within us and women in first Timothy chapter 2 verse 9 Paul said this I also want women to dress modestly and with decency and propriety so Men have a certain thing we do and and women have the things that they do During the summer it seems that sometimes women forget That men don't go blind for three months That's enough So in verse 2 well, we are Moving through this passage For what is the allotment of God from above and the inheritance of the Almighty from on high? Is it not destruction for the wicked and disaster for the workers of Iniquity does he not see my ways and count all my steps? What is the fruit of doing such things? How is God going to deal with them while he says it is destruction that word destruction Speaks of the ruin the ruin of body and even soul He says it is destruction it is ruined and it is disaster the word disaster speaks of of alienation or separation from God it is the ruin of body and soul and alienation from God When people are guilty of such things God brings judgment and he doesn't bless that And God is aware he's saying of everything and God is aware of secret things He's aware of my walk every step I take so I want to walk in a way that pleases him But he's aware like it says in Psalm 90 verse 8 you have placed our iniquities before you our Secret sins in the light of your presence so God is aware of everything and so He says does he not see my ways and count all my steps first five if I have walked with falsehood Or if my foot has hastened to deceit Let me be weighed on honest scales That God may know my integrity if my step has turned from the way or my heart walked after my eyes Or if any spot adheres to my hands Then let me let me so in another eat yet. Yes, let my harvest be rooted out And so if I have doubt deceitfully if I have taken financial advantage of other people Then then judge me and I am open. He's saying I'm open to to man's judgment I'm open to man scrutiny because in that judgment God will see my innocence When he says in verse 7 if my step is turned from the way or my heart walked after my eyes Or if any spot adheres to my hands then let me so in another eat Yes, let my harvest be rooted out if I have stepped from the narrow path of righteousness If I've desired forbidden things if I've ripped people off to make more money Then let others Get those prophets He says in verse 8 let everything I have been I have be taken from me and given to others So what he's doing is he's calling down curses upon himself He's saying basically let me labor for someone else and not benefit from all the work that I do in Verse 9 if my heart has been enticed by a woman or if I have alert at my neighbor's door Then let my wife grind for another and let others bow down over her That's a very very powerful and personal thing that he just said If my heart has been enticed by a woman he he's continuing his defense against the charge of hypocrisy So he's saying if if I've been attempting to seduce someone else's wife Well, let my wife become his servant he's speaking of grinding grain and Grinding grain is the lowest of the work that slaves would do at that time and not only that but in verse 10 He says then let my wife grind for another and let others bow down over her That's a very delicate way of saying Made the man who is her owner the slave owner Take sexual pleasure in my wife. That's a very strong statement for Job to say May may her employer exercise his right to sexually use her. It's a very strong thing In other words, I'm not guilty and therefore that will never happen But that's how strongly he feels about this in verse 11. He says for that would be wickedness. Yes It would be iniquity deserving of judgment For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction and would root out all my increase So he says that would be wickedness. He's speaking of adultery here And He's saying this adultery being with another man's wife is an enormous sin and it deserves terrible punishment You need to remember that this is written before Moses was given the law called the law of Moses and so the Commandments had yet to be given when when Job actually occurred but later on when God gave the law To Moses he he gave him a law pertaining to adultery And under the law of Moses. This is interesting and true Adultery is a sin But not just a sin. It's a sin that is comes under what is called the capital punishment It's a sin that is punishable by death That's how serious This particular sin is in Leviticus 20 verse 10 If a man commits adultery with another man's wife with the wife of his neighbor Both the adulterer and the adulterous are to be put to death That is a very serious sin has always been And so later on it was put in the law But even now he's speaking about how terrible that particular sin is it's an enormous sin He's saying and it deserves punishment. He says in verse 12 for that would be a fire that consumes to destruction and would root out On my increase this sin. He said that is fueled by lust Would be a sin that should rightly receive the most severe of judgment In verse 13 if I have despised the cause of my male or female servant when they complained against me What then shall I do when God rises up when he punishes? How shall I answer him? Did not he who made me in the womb make them Did not the same one fashion us in the womb? And so he's making it very clear that They share the same humanity You see aliphaz remember one of his friends had insinuated that job favored the rich and the powerful over the poor But joe was saying that he treated both men and women like they're his own family because like I just read in verse 15 Because we share the same humanity and therefore I've treated them fairly. That's the point he's making now That is something that we see later on Repeated that thought in the book of Colossians in the new testament in chapter 4 verse 1 Where it said paul said masters provide your slaves with what is right and fair Because you know that you also have a master in heaven And so he's saying he's already doing that which was commanded later in the new testament In verse 16 he continues If I have kept the poor from their desire or caused the eyes of the widow to fail Or eaten my morsel by myself so that the fatherless could not eat of it But from my youth I reared him as a father and from my mother's womb I guided the widow If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing or Any poor man without covering if his heart has not blessed me and if He was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep if I have raised my hand against the fatherless when I Saw a when I saw I had help in the gate then let my arm fall from my shoulder Let my arm be torn from the socket for destruction from god is a terror to me and because of his magnificence I cannot Endure he begins to share All of the good things that he's done that the works that he has performed on behalf of of the helpers the widows and and the Orphans and and as we went through this list he he says that I've provided for the proper needs of the poor I've moved quickly to help widows. I've shared my food with those in need I have fed and treated orphans as if they were my own children I've always cared for the needs of the widows and it clothed the needy I have given them occasion to bless me I've never abused the helpers an orphan And I've judged their cases fairly and graciously and he's saying this because these are the works of a righteous man These are the things that those who know the lord these are the things that they do That this concern they have for those who have need And and they don't they don't act Righteous on the outside, but their hearts being far away from the things that please god These are people who really do that which is proper and real and remember in matthew chapter 23 verse 14 This is something that the lord spoke of which jesus spoke of when he said in matthew 23 14 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for you devour widows houses and for a pretense make long prayer Therefore you shall receive the greater damnation you you walk around town as religious individuals pretending that you care when in fact you don't You devour widows houses and for a pretense make long prayer It is stated that that during the days of christ that a rabbi Would have somebody approach them on occasion and and the rabbi would be requested for prayer and and so The rabbi would be expecting them to give them a gift And if they didn't give him a gift that was large his prayer would be short And so jesus says for a pretense you make long prayers Long prayers because they gave you a lot of money to pray. That's the point that he's making and so Job is saying i'm not a hypocrite I i've done these things sincerely all of these things that we just read I've done them why well james tells us in chapter 1 verse 27 of his book Pure religion and undefiled before god and the father is this to visit the fatherless and widows in the reflection and keep himself inspired from the world So that the The activity of a truly righteous person is to care for those who are in need. That's what he's saying It's interesting how he how he calls a curse upon himself look at verse 22.  I cannot endure That's an interesting way of putting it So sure am I of my innocence? Then i'm i'll call curse upon myself Now as i was reading this in and looking at my commentators They made an interesting point when you look at the word arm let my arm fall from my shoulder when he says Let my arm be torn from the socket Um The show it's talking about an entire pulling off from the shoulder blade down The the second word arm there is in reference really to that which is below the elbow So this is a very poetic way of saying may my entire from my shoulder blade be just pulled right out of me Let my shoulder blades separate and may my arm fall off below the elbow If i've used my strength wrongly is what he's saying if i've used my abilities wrongly may those abilities be taken from me He says in verse 23 for destruction from god is a terror to me and because of his magnificence. I cannot endure My fear of god moves me to do that which is right And even if i did wrong i wouldn't continue in it In proverbs 10 27 it reads the fear of the lord prolongs life But the years of the wicked will be shortened in verse 24 If i have made gold my hope or said to find gold you are my confidence if i have Rejoiced because my wealth was great and because my hand had gained much If i have observed the sun when it shines or the moon Moving in brightness so that my heart has been secretly enticing My mouth has kissed my hand. This also would be an iniquity Serving of judgment for i would have denied god who is above this is interesting how he's putting this He's speaking about trusting in riches Verse 24 of if i made gold my hope or said to find gold you are my confidence He's saying if i have trusted in riches Then god has a right to judge me for that But the truth is i haven't trusted in riches The psalmist in psalm 62 says it like this in verse 10 Trust not in oppression become not vain in robbery If riches increase set not your heart upon them In mark 10 24 The disciples were astonished at his words But jesus answered again and said to them children How hard is it for those who trust in riches To enter into the kingdom of god And then finally in first simothy 6 17 Paul said command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant Nor to put their hope in wealth Which is so uncertain But to put their hope in god Who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment If you put your hope in anything Put it in god He says in verse 26 If i have observed the sun when it shines the moon Moving in brightness so that my heart has been secretly enticed and my mouth has just my hand This also would be an iniquity deserving of judgment for i would have denied god Who's above if i've become an idolater worshipping the sun or worshipping the moon now? That's pretty obvious how he put that right He said he says that if i've observed the sun the moon moving in brightness But notice verse 27 what does he mean when he says so that my heart has been secretly enticed and my mouth Has kissed my hand what does that mean well we've seen this before all of us have seen it It's an act of worship when people Will do that and that's what he's saying if i have made a gesture of worship So speaking of idolatry This is a sin that is worthy of god's judgment the sin of idolatry And leviticus 19 verse 4 it says do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourself I am the lord your god You see our god is the living god And idols are dead useless and unable to save Like it says in judges 10 14 go and cry out to the gods you've chosen let them save you when you're in trouble And then he goes on i think i'm going to finish Then he goes on We shall see if i have rejoiced At the destruction of him who hated me or lifted myself up when evil found him Indeed i have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for a curse on his soul If the men of my tent have not said who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat But no no sojourner had to lodge in the street for i have opened my doors to the to the traveler If i have covered my transgressions as adam by hiding my iniquity in my bosom because i feared the great multitude Dreaded the contempt of families so that i kept silence and didn't go out of the door. Oh That i had one to hear me here is my mark All that the almighty would answer me that my prosecutor had written in a book Surely i would carry it on my shoulder binded on me like a crown I would declare to him the number of my steps like a prince I would approach him And so he begins to speak concerning these things in verse 29 and 30 when he says if i've rejoiced at the destruction of him Who hated me lifting myself up if i have in my heart wished evil to others and and desired their ruin Which he hasn't he says, uh, then i would be culpable then i could be judged Like it says in proverbs 24 17 do not rejoice when your enemy falls Do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles In verse 31 and 32 he speaks of the men of his tent and they're saying concerning Who who is it that has not been satisfied with your food with the meat? He's saying i've been hospitable to everybody My own relatives have said that i'm extremely generous. I've opened the door of my home To to to house a traveler in need So i've been generous in 33 and 34 if i've covered my transgression as adam Now remember adam held inside his iniquity. He tried to hide it from lordy.  I haven't hid my sin from the sight of others In 35 through 37 he he says oh that i had one to hear me here is my mark I wish god would hear my case. Here's my signature agreeing that i have told the truth If my prosecutor wrote out my charges i would sign them and under it i would say i am not guilty Verse 36 surely i would carry it on my shoulder and bind it on me like a crown I would i would carry the the book of charges like a badge of honor and i wouldn't be ashamed Because the charges are groundless and when proven wrong they will reveal my innocence In verse 37 i would declare to him the number of my steps like a prince i would approach him I could point to an entire life the number of my steps an entire life Of desiring to walk policing to him and like a prince i could stand with courage and confidence before him And finally if my land cries out against me and its furrows weep together If i have eaten its fruit without money and or cause its owners to lose their lives Then let thistles grow instead of wheat and weeds instead of barley If i've gotten my property by fraud If i've stolen its fruit by killing its owners Then may god judge me When he says may the ground be cursed i am innocent of all the charges that have been lodged against me And i'm willing to have everything looked at closely Because i have walked in a way that is pleasing to the lord And all of these accusations that have been made against me would be found to be false And so Job finishes his defense. We'll stop here. We made it And we'll pick up next week Our father I want to begin by saying once again before everybody and with everybody How thankful we are that you are god and you are unthrown and you are alive and you are all powerful And there shall nothing be impossible with you I want to thank you on behalf of of rob and val and the family For touching briefs of the way you did and we pray that you continue to do so And some of us in this room or perhaps we're watching online Some of us are lifting to you right now prayers Asking that you would be merciful on behalf of those who we know and love also And god i do pray that you would be That you would be a healing god That you would do at work lord And that you would receive all the glory For there are some in our own fellowship in our own church family Who are dealing with illnesses that the doctor has already said Cannot be dealt with cannot be cured But you are the god of the possible And there shall nothing be impossible with you So we ask lord that you would show mercy And you would have your way We also ask that we might live our lives with integrity. We see the words that Were shared here by job in his defense and and i was pointed to a life that really has been lived In an attempt to be pleasing to you. May we live lives Pleasing to you, but may we also know that there are times seasons of affliction and pain That you actually will ultimately use to fashion us into the The person you want us to be and i ask that we would not Be angry at you for the work that sometimes may even hurt Lord i lift up this congregation i lift up those who are watching online for the countries that are tuning in Right now and i pray lord for every one of those countries and those who are watching And i pray that we who have heard this word would leave this place Making a covenant with our own eyes That we lord would live a pure pure life before you We lift these things to you And even as our eyes are closed and our heads are bowed for another moment Perhaps there's some in this room or online who need to get right with the lord right now and you need prayer And if you need to get right with the lord Would you raise your hand? Let me pray for you right now father in jesus name You see the hands of those in this room who are saying yes lord I ask that you would reach down and you would touch that you would as they open their heart to you wash them And cleanse them forgive them and give them a sense of your presence with them lord even right now I ask lord that you would do so because It honors you and a transformed life Is is a testimony of your grace and so lord in jesus name Reach down touch as our hearts are open to you and lord have your way By faith that we receive from you and we give you praise for this and we thank you and we bless you You can put your hands down And lord I ask that you keep moving in our lives As we're about to leave may we go with you and serve you And tomorrow as the nation is called to prayer Wherever we are may we lift up prayer for this nation. It's in deep need of prayer So we lift it to you now in jesus name. Amen

Top 8, Sonic Fox vs. Combat. This is a match that we've actually seen before this year. This was actually an online match that we saw very early on in the game's lifespan between Fox and Combat. And Combat was actually able to win that tournament. It was kind of his real breakout performance with Johnny Cage. Now, fast forward, the clock's about a year. We're seeing a very different match now. Of course, Combat has had a lot more experience under his belt by this point. It's really kind of settled on the Johnny Cage and Gira's duo and Sonic Fox. I mean, they have been bringing quite the show with Ace of Naves Joker all day. And at this point, I'd be very surprised if we see anything else as you can see right up there. It is Joker vs. Johnny Cage. This is exactly what we expected. Fox is on a mission. They want to be able to win two World Finals back-to-back with the same character in two different games. And we can definitely see that Johnny Cage versus Joker. Game one of this top eight. It's going to be an interesting matchup right here. There's a lot of range, a lot of good buttons, but a lot of damage. Interestingly, the two characters in the game that can cancel their fatal blow. Now, this will be unique because they are the only characters in the game that can do that. And it opens up so much of their offense when they get low there. They're very comeback-heavy, right? They're very built for it, whereas Johnny Cage is more of that kind of like space control, kind of really good buttons as well as that comeback. It really is Ace of Naves. There's more of a mix-up, a rushed-out or it's set-to-play character. And that really fits Sonic Fox like a glove. Now the corner, this is where Fox wants you. Joker's buttons, the two-one is fantastic. Ace of Naves getting those launchers and the set-up tools. Absolute nightmare situation if you're back to the corner. Spicklewich grab, going to get a knockdown into decent positioning. And that two-one, just the magic string. And you're going to see that a lot from Fox here. Okay, getting clipped from the way up. Good wake-up attack gives Sonic Fox the advantage. The safety. Hang on a minute. Oh, and we're just talking about that cancel. Combat comes off it straight away for a bit confirmed. Chunky damage. Goes in for the meaty-down-one rising star. Fox is going to get hit by the cancel again. Round one, we saw two fatal blow cancels. I say you get used to seeing that a lot throughout the course of the series. Round two. Shouts to Shouting Fox in the background. No, Shouting Fox. What a game. And now, looking for a single button, but combat not going to pressure it. It's going to stick out that low all the same. The low is going to connect. Once more. Oh, his graphics got smaller. Ah, there we go. We're back. Oh, Johnny Cage with the magnatharms. I like the way combat is playing this. He's completely slowed things down. I feel like the worst thing you can do is just get really impatient and just give yourself to someone like Sonic Fox. Oh, and the second combat decides to be the one to start how things are going, immediate win punish into crushing blow. That's exactly why combat has been more defensive in this round that is really paying off. And immediately, another rising star is going to do the job. One round each at this point. Combat, what really started that sequence was a wake-up neutral jump. The hard reads, you've just got to have those guttural decisions. Whip, oh, no! Speaking of which, there's a big combo opportunity. All the backup as well, maybe trying to scout out the roll. Oh, the delay. The hell, he's clipped by the low again. Oh, not a hit too. Yes, Sonic Fox was trying to press something off the ground, but combat said absolutely not. And he knows Fox is going to respect the frames, runs in and enforces a grab almost immediately. Get out of there, interactable. He's going to low again, loads of patience. Oh, Fox. Oh, he tried to whiff punish, but not close enough. That's a big hit, though. No bar to get more damage, but keeps the life lead. Nonetheless, the roar jumping, almost catching entirely, but the down four does recover just in time. Here comes the mid. This mid string, there is that overhead that you know Fox. They're not shy of pulling the trigger. The tech, the dirty tech. Remember, forward throw. If the fail blows on cool down. Speaking of which, that's going to be the round.  Oh! This is a family show for crying out loud. Now immediately, what we saw there was just, I assume here, Admin's probably just mentioning to lower the health bar. I imagine they're just going to go quickly and lower the health bar, of course. Thank you very much for being patient with us. But a good game one for Sonic Fox, that Joker, that Ace of Naves Joker, re-showing why it can be so dangerous in the hands of a good player, right? It just, it takes so much of the boxes. There are a lot of similarities to be made between Joker and Johnny Cater in terms of, like, overall range and just kind of neutral options. But then Ace of Naves really kind of throws on, originally most of us just assumed it would be a very kind of mix-up heavy, like, primarily set play. Whereas I feel like, even though that's still there for Ace of Naves, it's not really the main point of the variation. It's about kind of just keeping your turn as opposed to constant mix-ups. You also get a perfect example over why that Joker has arguably the scariest fatal blow game in the game because the tech, the combat, made the amazing read to tech for throw. And then the next grab, still crushing blow, because it takes a while for fatal blow to actually come back and let's pull down. It's gonna benefit flawless block combat, bringing out the clutch execution. And now, now that's actually another interesting dynamic from C here, though, because you have Sonic Fox, who, when you watch Sonic Fox play, they flawless block barely ever at all. Like, if ever, it's so rare. And you have someone like combat, they look on it very much, a flawless block master. So that's really gonna be interesting to see how that makes a difference here. Because that was huge, that entire sequence started a flawless blocking-awake-up attack. And it forced this Fox onto the back foot. When combat's able to kind of get the keys and the ignition, Johnny Cage is a momentum character! And that's a trade, very expensive, down two to obtain, no full combo. The combat got some damage, but lost all that defensive bar, that's definitely not what you want to see, especially when you're back to the wall like this. Sonic Fox kind of keeping that pressure about sweet distance, does not want to get too close and let combat get out for free. Always keep an eye on that amplified jack in the box. It tests your match-up knowledge massively. And that situation in combat, try to trade flawless block up to no jump in for you, mate. And now the low again, blocks. You can scout the low into overhead. It's very tight though, very tight. Speaking of overhead, Bird Boy Beatdown's gonna connect. Remember, three of those on Amplify, the next one, meetlessly crushing blows. And we've seen Sonic Fox use that crushing blow perfectly all of the day, so you know absolutely that they are keeping count of how many they've got. Now projectile game, combat's gonna be pretty careful with this. The range of the forward to one, makes those projectiles kind of scary.  Now I like that choice, even though combat is losing, every time Sonic Fox has gone for the box in the neutral, combat has just responded with forceful straight. Wait, no! That must have been a mistake going to hold up. That was either an execution error or like a next level, next level read. I'm inclined to think execution error purely because of how much health that Fox had left. Even the fatal blow connecting there would have been arguably a little bit of a waste. Commits into the nut punch. Not gonna hit its mark, unfortunately, Fox. Too patient and the mid again, Ablify. We're building towards that crushing blow, really turns Joker into a win-condition character. This is what we're saying before about, it's not really kind of set-play mid-sub. It's more about just keeping a box under your opponent so it's always your turn.  Do I get to move? Do I have to press a button like, it's so hard to deal with in the heat of the moment. Big jump kick! Simple confirmed, gonna take a nice chunk of damage there as combat. The Ablify backboard play really does just reset things. Creates that automatic disengage back to neutral. But Fox, they have the likely, this is where they wanna be, escape. Try to take the grab, but remember grabs, they are in turn 50-50s for Tekken. Now the forceful game, combat, bit by bit, bringing himself back in for that. Advancing high so much, but long arm of the Joker. Fox has fatal blow, that's what they want. No cancel though. We can definitely see the end of the game. If a clean opening comes here, the fatal blow is gonna be the skeleton key for the damage. They cancel, one, two, three, it's safe on block. And from this point, both players, fatal blow's gonna be ready. Fox, the backboard forward, just wasting enough time to allow another one. Oh no! Feels so good. Just about enough damage there, you could say, just about. Fox played the end of that game perfectly, using two of the backboard forwards on arm, to just waste time. We had about four seconds roughly for the fatal blow to come back. The two offensive bars used just to guarantee the time is there. And then when the fatal blow comes back, use it to win. That's one of the scariest things about the Joker, right? That kind of like jumping jack. That's a universal move. That's really plus on block if you amplify it. Your opponent kind of has to deal with it. And with the tools of ace and naves at the same time, the jack in the box underneath and the long buttons, it's scary.  It's just, Fox, the fatal blow game is just so strong. And it's really kind of that trump card. Two times in a row, challenge the amplified jack in the box and you pay the price. No punish. I mean, I could have been much more than it was. Oh, okay. Now over here. Fox is really fishing for that. Bird Boy Beatdown really wants to get the crushing blow ready. Fatal blows and play. Oh no, Oscar, you shall receive. Okay, so this does like a billion damage. I wonder if this is actually going to kill. It is one of the highest damage fatal blows in the game. Oh my goodness. That's a lot of damage for a two hit. My goodness. Bro, two hits into fatal blow, 43%. Let's go. The Joker's not very scary. He's a mean guy. The Joker doesn't play fair. Here we go. Potentially mad point here for Fox. That's huge. That is huge. That cost him his jaw right there. Here we go. More amplify. Every single time that connects, combat's going to sweat more and more because the damage of the crushing blow. I think that's it. The crushing blow out must be there by now. And one more clean opening. Combat's basically dead. Oh no. Okay, it was one off. Even Sonic Fox thought it was going to be there, but combat's going to lifeline. Okay, I can actually maybe make a comeback. Dash cancel. Remember, this is outtake. There's no camera. There's no shade crushing blow. To work projectiles, that jump kick hurts. It's a big time. And just right there, combat. A little bit less, don't do it. Surely not. There we go. By the way, there is a 0% chance we were expecting like the jack of the box into mercy. Can we talk about this fatality for a second?


This is one way I teach counting sounds to my students. The first thing I do is I give them some counters, and today where I'm working with three, and I tell them that we're going to say a word, we're going to stretch the word out, and then we're going to move the counters for the sound of the word. We're going to touch the counters again and then put the word back together. And then they're going to tell me how many sounds that they've heard. So if I said the word is bug, everybody say bug. Stretch it out. Bug. And then we're going to move our counters. Buh. Uh. Guh. Again sounds. Buh. Uh. Guh. Word is bug. How many counters did we move up? We moved three counters for the word bug. Now I'll have the kids move the counters back, and I'm going to give them another word. And I usually sometimes will actually change, and I will use less counters, so every counter isn't being used. Like if I use the word me, we're going to say the word me. Stretch it out. Me. And we're going to move our counters. Mm. E. Say the sounds. Mm. E. Word. Me. How many counters? Two. So we talk about how we use two counters and not all the counters are used. So we make sure we listen to the sounds and then move the counters for each sound. And that is one way I teach counting sounds with students.

From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE Conversation. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We have a CUBE Conversation today, talking about an exciting announcement coming out of our friends over at VMware. It's the second generation VMware cloud on Dell EMC. And to tell us more about it, we've got a couple of CUBE alumni that we're always happy to have on. First off, we're joined by Matt Morgan. He is the VP of Marketing at VMware. Matt, great to see you. Great to see you too, Jeff. And then, Wei Wong, she's the Director of Product Marketing at VMware. Wei, great to see you as well. Nice to see you, Jeff. So first off, hope you guys are getting through the stay at home and work from home and family, everything good? Yes. These are unprecedented times for sure, but we're fortunate and we're doing fine. I hope everything's going well with you and your family. Yeah, thank you. I mean, we are lucky to be in the IT space so we can flip the digital much easier than some industries. But let's jump into this announcement. Second generation VMware cloud on Dell EMC. You guys only announced this in production like a year ago. So Matt, what kind of drove a second generation already? What were some of the drivers and what is the essence of this second generation? Yeah, this space is moving really fast. As you know, public cloud has captured the imagination of practically every IT organization on the planet because the public cloud provides a new way of doing business. It allows you to consume technology on demand. It allows you to have elasticity. It allows you to have OPEX financial treatment. But more importantly, it takes you out of the core management business. No more hardware refreshes, no more operational control of the core infrastructure. This is all delivered as a service. The problem is in order to get this value, you had to turn to the public cloud. You had to actually place your workload in a data center that someone else managed. And that data center might be far away from the data that is being generated. And so in many cases, it's just simply non-practical to move all of your workloads there. So on-premise technology is still going to be important. What VMware announced way back in 2018, I think it was August 2018 at VMware was project dimension. And the whole concept was about delivering the cloud to the data center, but truly allowing you to run your data center or data center infrastructure in a truly managed cloud-centric way. We then commercialized it when we announced VMware cloud on Dell EMC the product and the uptake's been off the hook. We've seen industry analysts like you saw with Rick, we've seen our customers really embrace this technology and we've gotten enormous feedback. And that feedback has also driven a new set of requirements. And the truth is, while we envisioned this technology to clearly be an edge play, our customers are telling us it's a data center play. They believe that they can reimagine their data center to operate just like a cloud. And by deploying VMware cloud on Dell EMC, this facilitates their needs to do that. But they needed a new class of systems, something a lot more powerful than our first generation, something that could take on all of the workloads. In fact, there's a slide, if you want to pull it up, we can kind of illustrate this. This second generation solution is all about turning the volume up to 11. We are enabling organizations to put two times as many VMs on this technology. An effect can run twice as many workloads. More importantly, for an IT architect, they can design a system that will take on the most demanding, most complex, business critical applications with the largest set of data and be able to manage that as a entity, but in a cloud model on premises. Now, Matt, I'm struck a little bit because first off, you talked about Edge, and this was really kind of a response to growth of the Edge and the anticipated growth of Edge and IoT. And then at the, now you're saying really, there's this great opportunity in the data center. And I think we had Rick on from IDC, talked about local cloud as a service. So that's spanning a pretty wide range of environments, workloads, all types of demands. So what are the real critical functional capabilities of a local cloud as a service and specifically VMware cloud? So we partnered with Rick when he was defining this category. And if you look at Rick's research, he sees this category growing, I think to close to $5 billion all in revenue. That all in revenue is coming in the next two and a half years. That's a faster scale out than we saw HCI. And in his research, he's finding the same information that we found when we did our early customer surveys. We have identified a real need at the Edge. But let's not underplay that. If you look at a 5G cell tower, typically they need compute that's local. There are gonna be tons of these erected over the next few years. And they don't have on-premise IT infrastructure people to manage that technology. So there's an opportunity to have a managed approach where the compute is local, but it's managed as a cloud. Clearly the solution is custom designed for that. But I can look at a dozen other IoT centric opportunity. Let's talk about energy production, an offshore oil rig. Again, no IT staff, the need for compute lots of sensor data. The opportunity to deliver a managed approach gives you that capacity. Let's look at agriculture. Again, pushing out compute to the Edge. So this Edge component is another hyper growth area for information technology. And we have a great solution custom built for that. However, as I had mentioned, right? The growth of use cases includes the most important, the most significant business critical apps that are really big apps that live in the data center. This can include a variety of different use cases. Think about a hospital. They have data centers in each of the regions. That's a perfect fit for this. Talk about a technology base for virtualized desktop infrastructure. Think about having to deploy an SAP application. There's a dozen more I can think of right off the top of my head. But what we did with the second generation is we listened to the customer. The customers wanted more power. They wanted more capacity. They wanted the opportunity to have a full rack that could beat their expectations on the capacity and power side so that they can fulfill their requirements. And that's what this is all about. So that's great, Matt. So, Wei, you're a little bit more in the weeds and the product development. What are some of the things that you're excited about in this second gen offering that maybe people aren't as aware of or maybe is a little bit below the radar? Right, okay. So let me first and talk about that this is truly, as Matt pointed out, not an insignificant release, right? This is not incremental. We, for example, that our customer were rolling out a full 42RU rack that is support to traditional use cases and also the modern use cases. And thinking about also a brand new instant type that we call internal M1D medium that in which we doubled not the socket count but also the CPU moving from a 24 CPUs to a 48 total and double our RAM from a 368 to 764 and also doubling to introducing all flash like NVMB based flash to secondary storage from 11.5 to 23 terabytes. And all these is really to honing in what Matt had pointed out, that enterprise class, the high workloads, very density workloads, where you can put into literally 12 to 15 this kind of a nodes over development and allows you to have that in the data center and to making sure that you have that kind of a capacity for performance. We have that. The second thing I want to mention as you can imagine is the VDI. I think virtual desktop infrastructure cannot be more important at this environment. Everybody is looking at it and especially for the highly regulated industries like healthcare. So VMware, right? We are the market leader with our offerings as a VMware horizon solution. So what happens in this release is we actually certified fully certified on the VMware horizon solution to making sure that we offer that enterprise distributed capacity to the industry that will really want to ramp up fast and also to making sure that they obviously cannot have extra IT support to have that capacity to offer the remote workers the frontline healthcare workers and other business continuity type of use cases to that capacity for VDI. The last one is actually, as you can imagine also in this environment is data backup and recovery, right? The enterprises are looking for a solution that in which they can not only backup, protect and also search for the things that they can actually search for historical reasons. So in this release, we are actually certifying two solutions for backup. The first one, of course, with our friends at Dell, right? Dell Data Protection Solution. The second one is that's an industry leading solution right there. And the second one is actually the Beam. So with both solutions now we can truly offer our customers who are looking for enterprise strength, backup and solution for the continuity and also for this to continue to operate in this environment. So I'm just curious before we let you go, you talked about this being a pretty significant release and we've talked about market spaces from Edge back into the data center and really kind of enterprise class, heavy workloads, critical workloads, applications running this. So as you look forward, not giving any secrets out in terms of roadmap but where do you see this class of application evolving? So I think that you can imagine that we talk to a variety of customers. There are different ways we can actually expand this. Many of our retail customers has talked about their suggestions and 5G towers. Not only we can expand it to a data center, we probably will can actually offer this type of solutions into, for example, a substantial retail shop or a back of the pizza shop, right? That's going small on one end. The other end is I think that many of our customers has expressed interest of the co-locators, right? They working with in other geographical areas that they're actually working with local providers that they don't own themselves. They do not even wanted to purchase, right? The cooling and managing the space. So they want us to provide an integrated solution with many of the large co-locators but as well as some of the niche co-locators so that we can offer that end to end and offer that together as a platform to our partners. So that's where we're going. Very exciting space and you guys do move quick. Matt, I'll give you the last word before we sign out. Where can people get more information? Wouldn'ts GA or I guess, or is this GA? I think we are GA. Give us the last word. Yeah, so yes, the service is available. People can get more information at VMware.com. And I think the truth of the matter is is the cloud is an operating model. It's not an individual data center location, right? And the idea of a cloud operating model that could be currently hybrid that can move from a public cloud data centers to your own data centers to the edge to everywhere in between, including MSPs. VMware provides a great platform that standardizes across that. One of the things that is a driver for VMware customers is their ability to keep their existing workloads without having to modify, refactor or rework them, right? I have a workload that I sit in a data center in a public cloud, if it's on VMware, I simply vMotion or use HCX to move that workload and I could be up and running instantly. On that consistency adds a lot of flexibility, agility and it helps people do things faster. So I think those are my final comments. It was really good to see you, Jeff. Thanks for having us. You too. Thanks for checking in. I think it's the first time we've done one of these but certainly we've spent lots of time together around theCUBE set. So I'm glad everybody's healthy and this two-show pass. So keep working hard, keep delivering those great products and thanks again for stopping by. Thank you, Jeff. All right, it's Matt and Wei. I'm Jeff, you're watching theCUBE. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.

Here we are in our QuickBooks online test company file using the accountant view as opposed to the business view you can toggle between the two views by going to the cog up top and switching the view down below. We're going to duplicate some tabs to put our major financial statement reports in that being the balance sheet and income statement otherwise known as the profit and loss report to do that I right click on the tab up top and duplicate it and then as that's thinking I'm going to right click on the tab again and duplicate it again. These are the two tabs I want my financial statement reports in. I usually tab to the middle as the one to the right is thinking and then go to the reports on the left hand side and the favorite reports will always have our balance sheet and income statement because those are our financial statement reports and therefore by default one of our favorites tab into the right down to the reports on the left this time the profit and loss otherwise known as the income statement I'm going to close up the hamburger I'm going to scroll up and change the range and the general range to start with 010123 tab 123123 tab January to December 2023 run it and then I'll tab to the middle close up the hamburger same thing range needs to change 010123 tab 123123 and tab run it that's the setup process we do every time got our reports set up and then I do my data input on the left hand side so now we want to deal with or and look at the feature that QuickBooks has for receipts allowing us to upload receipts and possibly record transactions with those receipts first let's locate where the receipts are at under the accountant view they're under the banking tab where you would typically go if you had your bank feeds attached and then you've got your receipts on the right hand side under the business view I'm going to check that out we're going to be working mainly under this view the accountant view but let's look at the business view so you can see where it is I like to go back to the dashboard and then change the views cog up top switching to the business view where you got all the wacky lingo that they like to use with the get paid tab and the get things done page where this is where we're on right now so we're going to go into the bookkeeping area and then transactions up top which is once again where your bank feeds would normally be at and then you've got your receipts so here's the same location using that method I'm going to go back to the accountant view because that's where we're typically going to be working but you can see it's you know the same stuff in essence a little bit different look and feel to it between the two views the accountant view switching back on over a little bit more professional on the language it's probably I feel like it's easier to navigate but that's probably because I've worked with it longer I think the other view might be more manageable maybe on a phone might that might be one of the advantages to it so I'm going to go back on to the banking over here we're in our receipts so what's going to be the advantages of the receipts so the receipts allow us to upload the receipts into quickbooks why might we want to do that well we might use the receipts to help us to to create financial transactions a receipt usually will of course correlate to an outflow cash going out of our checking account eventually and so we can use the receipt to record a transaction which would generally be like an expense type of form the form used to decrease the checking account and record typically some kind of expense we might also use the receipts to track the receipts so that we can basically attach them to some of our expense forms which will give us some backup some support about what those expense forms are at so that we can use that possibly for internal record keeping and have our internal audit trail to verify that things are going the way they should and or for external audit trails such as for example for taxes so that could be a useful tool we could also use it if we're you can imagine using it like if you had employees or contractors that you were going to like reimburse for example based on their expenditures they might give you evidence of their expenditures in some way shape or form and possibly the receipts i could be a way that you can take the receipt and then use that possibly to create a payment that would be to the contractor you would think right based on the receipt and then maybe if you could attach the receipt to the payment that was made in that way those are some basic ways you might use the receipts now a nice thing about the receipts these days is that everybody has a camera on them which is basically their phone and if you use the quick book app then you can basically take a picture of the receipt and and if you're using that app it'll basically manage the receipt and then pull it into quick books for you so that's a great tool for us because of course then we can easily get the image of the receipt into quick books using our quick books app which is kind of working more like a scanner in some ways in order to convert it basically to a pdf file and allow us to upload it into quick books now the the app is not required because you could basically you could use other methods to basically upload if you can get an image of the receipt from your computer or your google drive and you also have this kind of email option that will take a look at as well which is a pretty neat option but clearly the app is is often going to be a useful tool to get that primary image and you can use the app software quick books app in order to take an image of the photo and you have some management options to be able to kind of categorize the photo in the application so once once the image is in quick books then whether it be taken from a phone or whether we upload it from the computer or a google drive or it's emailed to us then we can manage so we have a couple examples down here of the receipts that are in our system we've got the two tabs up top they got the for review tab and then we've got the reviewed items so if we go into these items you can see a nice image of the receipt on the left hand side and then we can post this receipt if we so choose so we've got the payee we've got the the bank uh account which might be like a checking account the date which is going to be pulling from the receipt this is just i made this receipt in excel just for our demo which we'll do in the future it's going to be great and then down here we have our line items so you can see it looks kind of like the bank feeds that we're going to upload we can use this to create an actual transaction recording the transaction now you kind of want to be careful with this of course on how you're going to implement this because because uh if you're using this receipt for something that you actually paid for then it's also going to go through the bank feeds so there's a couple different ways you might imagine using this feature that i can imagine using this feature right what one is that you're you're tracking your own receipts and so that you have some some evidence of the payments that you're making so you might be tracking your own receipts it becomes particularly important for small businesses for example to track receipts of things they might be they might be using when when they're using cash or a credit card that's not their business card or something like that and then they have to make sure that they properly add that item to their their account or you might be just taking a picture of the receipt so that you can have evidence and attach that to your quickbooks file so if you're taking a picture of it to attach it to the quickbooks file and you actually make electronic payments from your bank account then you would expect if you have the bank feeds set up that you would that you would have your your bank feeds it would come through the bank and then you can attach the receipt which can kind of automatically happen so if i go into this one for example uh it says that we found a receipt that matches this transaction and attached it for you so that's that's one way that you might be able to use this you might you don't want to double record the items in other words you don't want to record the receipt as something that's going to go into your checking account and your expense account and then record it again when the cash transaction happens what you would want to do in that instance is be able to match the two so that when the receipt comes through it's going to be attached to the expense form so that you have a little bit more evidence and audit trail related to that expense form now if you actually paid cash for something instead of an electronic transfer that's when it becomes more confusing on the tracking side of things so if you had an online business for example and you're paying everything online then the bank feeds work beautifully because then you're going to have the descriptions on the bank feeds and everything in order to allocate the proper amounts but if you have a business where you do some stuff with cash then that's going to be an area where you might want the receipts because as the cash goes through the bank feeds you're not going to have the same description and whatnot in order to properly categorize your items and therefore that could be a useful tool because you'll see that come through the bank feeds is just cash that you withdrew from your account and possibly you can use receipts to help you to verify those types of transactions now you also might have a situation where you paid for something with a personal credit card or or with cash from your personal account but it was a business expense or something like that in which case you might be tracking the receipt so you can pull that into your QuickBooks account so that you can record a transaction that's going to allow you to put the expense on the business side of things since you paid for something with the personal side of things so you might then track your receipts and possibly then record a transaction that that would would be the same amount of the receipt as a reimbursement for example so in other words if I paid for something from my personal credit card and it was a business expense then I might have my receipts in here and then I basically I would need to record that as an expense on my books here one way to do that is I can make a transaction which would basically be reimbursing myself meaning going out of my business account into my personal checking account and then assign it to the proper expense category like supplies or whatever like that that would tie into the amount of the receipt that's one way you can do it or if you don't actually want to take money out of the business account you could possibly use like a journal entry type of method to record a reimbursement which would be you know just debiting increase in the expense and the other side going to to draws for example or investments draws or some kind of equity account so we may take a look at some examples like that how that might how that might play out and then of course you might have contractors or employees that that you want to track their receipts in some way shape or form and in that case you might have for example an employee that has some access to be able to pay out of the business account or use like a business checking account for example and in that case it would be a similar situation as though you as a sole proprietorship were using this feature and using the receipts they might have the receipts and take a picture of the receipt and then when you see the information that goes through the banking account because they actually paid for it with the business credit card or business checking account in some way shape or form you will see that matching happen and you can match up the receipt to the payment you may also use the receipts as kind of a reimbursement tool so maybe they are paying for whatever they're doing as a contractor or an employee and they're showing you the receipt of what they paid for and then once you get the receipt you're going to reimburse them possibly based on it so that means that you are now going to make an expense payment based on the amount that they spent for the the the receipt and possibly then once that clears the bank you can tie that out to the receipt as backup or evidence of of of the payment that's been made now if we have other people that are that are dealing with the are working with us with these receipts and giving us receipts then there's this nice feature here where you can have a forward email you could basically set up a forward email so that the the people that are giving you receipts can basically just send it to the forwarding email which will basically just pull it into here so that's going to make it a little bit faster they can basically get the receipts and email them to this forwarding email which should pull them in here and that's a nice kind of streamlined way to get those receipts and then we can do whatever we're going to do with those receipts depending on what our flow structure is in order to use this however you have to set them up as a as a user of QuickBooks so we'll talk more about using that method in future presentations so that's the general overview now once the receipts are here you can review them and once reviewed then they're over here on the reviewed side of things so we'll go in we'll go in in future presentations and run a couple different scenarios of this we'll make up some mock receipts we will upload them here we'll think about a situation where we upload the receipts and then we match it to to the bank feeds to see how that would work and then we'll hopefully go in and and test out the managed forward email in some example problems as well
