Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody does it like your early morning praise party. I
- 0:03Speaker 1: am Sherry Mackie, and it's time right now for today's word.
- 0:10Speaker 1: The ending God already wrote. The Ending God already wrote.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Jeremiah twenty nine eleven says, for I know the thoughts
- 0:19Speaker 1: that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of
- 0:22Speaker 1: peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
- 0:26Speaker 1: You know Jeremiah twenty nine eleven says that, but there
- 0:30Speaker 1: are seasons in life. What if we'll be honest, it
- 0:34Speaker 1: feels as though everything is working against us. The sickness
- 0:39Speaker 1: lingers on, the depression feels heavier than hope, the financial
- 0:43Speaker 1: pressure doesn't let up. From the outside, and even sometimes
- 0:47Speaker 1: from the inside, it can look like the opposition is winning.
- 0:51Speaker 1: In those moments, discouragement tries to settle in, whispering that
- 0:55Speaker 1: you're falling behind her, that your best days are over.
- 0:59Speaker 1: We have a choice in those seasons. We can spend
- 1:02Speaker 1: our energy fighting every setback, replaying every disappointment, or worrying
- 1:06Speaker 1: about what didn't go as planned, or we can choose peace,
- 1:13Speaker 1: resting in the truth that God is still directing our steps,
- 1:16Speaker 1: even when the path includes detours, delays, and what feels
- 1:21Speaker 1: like dadans. God never promised a straight road, but he
- 1:25Speaker 1: did promise a secure destination. Come own Jesus Jeremiah twenty
- 1:33Speaker 1: nine eleven reminds us that God already knows the end
- 1:36Speaker 1: of our story. Long before the challenge showed up. God
- 1:40Speaker 1: had a plan in place. The betrayal didn't surprise him.
- 1:44Speaker 1: The loss didn't catch him off guard. The delay didn't
- 1:47Speaker 1: force him to rewrite your future. Your ending was planned
- 1:51Speaker 1: long ago, and it's filled with peace, with hope and purpose.
- 1:56Speaker 1: When you feel outnumbered, when you feel outside outclass, don't
- 2:01Speaker 1: assume you're losing. Often that's the moment right before God
- 2:05Speaker 1: turns things around. The enemy loves to convince you that
- 2:08Speaker 1: this is how your story ends, but God says this
- 2:12Speaker 1: is not the end. The person who walked away did
- 2:15Speaker 1: not cancel your destiny. The door that closed did not
- 2:19Speaker 1: remove God's favor. The setback did not change the outcome.
- 2:22Speaker 1: God already established. What you're facing now may simply be
- 2:26Speaker 1: the setup for a comeback. At any moment, things can
- 2:30Speaker 1: shift in your favor. God can bring healing where there
- 2:33Speaker 1: was pain, restoration where there was lost, promotion where there
- 2:36Speaker 1: was limitation, and peace where there was anxiety. He specializes
- 2:41Speaker 1: and sudden breakthroughs that remind us he has the final say.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Trust that God is working behind the scenes, aligning the
- 2:51Speaker 1: right people, the right opportunities, and the right timing. Even
- 2:55Speaker 1: when you can't see it, He's faithful to finish what
- 2:57Speaker 1: he started. Your future is not uncertain, it is secure
- 3:02Speaker 1: in Him. Oh Father God, thank you that in an
- 3:05Speaker 1: uncertain world we can rest in the security of knowing
- 3:08Speaker 1: that you have already set our ending. Thank you for
- 3:11Speaker 1: your plans for our lives, plans filled with peace and
- 3:15Speaker 1: hope in future. Help us God to trust you through
- 3:18Speaker 1: every season. Believe it that you're working everything out at
- 3:22Speaker 1: just the right time. In Jesus' name. Oh that's your
- 3:25Speaker 1: word for today. Take that apply to your everyday life,
- 3:28Speaker 1: and you continue to be encouraged to and inspired. It's
- 3:31Speaker 1: your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
