Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie at his time, right now. Four
- 0:04Speaker 1: Today's word don't give up before the promise. Hebrews ten
- 0:09Speaker 1: thirty six says, patient endurance is what you need now,
- 0:13Speaker 1: so that you will continue to do God's will. Then
- 0:17Speaker 1: you will receive all that he has promised. Waiting can
- 0:22Speaker 1: test your faith in ways you never expected. Most of
- 0:26Speaker 1: us are waiting for something. Maybe you're waiting for a
- 0:28Speaker 1: dream to finally come to reality. You're waiting for healing
- 0:31Speaker 1: in your body, restoration in your family, a child to
- 0:34Speaker 1: make better choices, or a door to open that you've
- 0:37Speaker 1: been praying about for years. And when you've waited a
- 0:40Speaker 1: long time without seeing any evidence of change, is easy
- 0:44Speaker 1: to become discouraged. You may begin to wonder, did I
- 0:47Speaker 1: hear God right? Maybe it's never gonna happen. Maybe I
- 0:51Speaker 1: should just give up. No, the devil is a liar.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Hebrews reminds us that patient endurance is what you need now.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Notice those words what you need now. Maybe God hasn't
- 1:05Speaker 1: asked you to figure everything out. Maybe he hasn't asked
- 1:09Speaker 1: you to understand the delay. He's simply asking you to
- 1:12Speaker 1: keep going and keep trusting. Don't allow the length of
- 1:15Speaker 1: the weight to convince you that the promise has been canceled.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Just because you don't see it yet doesn't mean God
- 1:21Speaker 1: isn't working. Think about a seed planted in the ground.
- 1:25Speaker 1: For a while, nothing seems to be happening. You can't
- 1:28Speaker 1: see the roots growing beneath the surface. You can't see
- 1:31Speaker 1: the process taking place in the darkness. But just because
- 1:34Speaker 1: you can't see it doesn't mean the seed is dead.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Something is happening underground, and the same may be true
- 1:41Speaker 1: in your life. While you're waiting, God may be preparing
- 1:44Speaker 1: things you can't see. He may be working on the
- 1:47Speaker 1: right person, arranging the right opportunities, opening the right doors,
- 1:51Speaker 1: or preparing you for the blessing you're asking him to bring.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Your job is just to remain faithful, keep praying, keep believing,
- 1:59Speaker 1: keep you and the right thing, Keep thanking God even
- 2:02Speaker 1: when you don't understand. Keep your heart free from bitterness.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Don't let disappointments make you abandon the very promise you've
- 2:09Speaker 1: been praying for. Y'all, God is faithful. He has not
- 2:12Speaker 1: forgotten about you, He has not overlooked your prayers. He
- 2:16Speaker 1: sees every tear, he sees every sacrifice, in every moment
- 2:19Speaker 1: you've chosen faith over frustration. There's a difference between waiting
- 2:24Speaker 1: and wasting time. While you're waiting on God, you're not
- 2:26Speaker 1: standing still. God is developing your character. He's strengthening your
- 2:30Speaker 1: faith in preparing you for what comes next. Your waiting
- 2:35Speaker 1: season is not a wasted season. So don't you give
- 2:38Speaker 1: up now. You may be closer than you think. The
- 2:40Speaker 1: door may be about to open, The answer may have
- 2:43Speaker 1: already be in motion. The breakthrough may be closer than
- 2:48Speaker 1: it appears. So keep your faith strong and your heart expected.
- 2:52Speaker 1: The promise is never late. God is not behind schedule.
- 2:56Speaker 1: He knows exactly what he's doing. And when the appointed
- 2:59Speaker 1: time comes, oh, you're going to look back and realize
- 3:02Speaker 1: that every delay, every detour, every season of waiting was
- 3:05Speaker 1: a part of the process that brought you exactly where
- 3:08Speaker 1: you needed to be. So don't give up before the promise.
- 3:11Speaker 1: You keep enduring, keep believing, keep trusting what God promised.
- 3:15Speaker 1: He is faithful too, fulfil Father, Thank you for your
- 3:18Speaker 1: faithfulness to every promise you may. Thank you that even
- 3:22Speaker 1: when we can't see what you're doing, we can trust
- 3:24Speaker 1: that you're working behind the scenes. Help us to be
- 3:27Speaker 1: patient and endure without becoming discouraged, bitter, or doubtful. Give
- 3:31Speaker 1: us the strength to keep doing your will while we wait.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Remind us that our waiting season is not wasted, and
- 3:38Speaker 1: that you're using the time to prepare us for what
- 3:41Speaker 1: you have ahead. We choose God to trust your time
- 3:44Speaker 1: and believe your word, and remain confident that what you
- 3:47Speaker 1: promised is right on schedule. We will not give up
- 3:50Speaker 1: before the promise. We will keep believing, praying, and expecting
- 3:54Speaker 1: your goodness in Jesus' name. That's your word for today.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Take it applied to your everyday life, and you continue
- 3:59Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired at your early morning praise party.
