  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise PARTI. I am Sherry Maggie
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: at his time, right now for today's word, Protect what
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: God has given you. Exodus thirty two nineteen says when
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: his anger burned, and he threw the tablets out of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: his hands, breaking them into pieces at the foot of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the mountain. You know, there are moments in life when
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the frustration around us feels overwhelming. We see people making
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: poor choices, culture drifting further from truth, and situations that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: seem unfair and out of control. If we're not careful,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: those external pressures can stir something on the inside of us, anger, bitterness,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: even discouragement. See that's what happened to Moses. He had
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: just experienced a sacred, once in a lifetime encounter with
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: God on Mount Sinai. The ten commandments were ridden by
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the finger of God and entrust it into his hands.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It was holy, it was priceless, it was divine. But
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: when Moses came down the mountain and saw the people
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: worshiping a golden calf, he became so angry that he
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: threw down the tablets and shattered them in that moment,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: what God had given him was mishandled, not because it
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't valuable, but because his emotions took over. See that's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a lesson for you and me today. Sometimes we can
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: allow what's happening around us, what people are doing, what's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: being said, how things are unfolding, to affect us so
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: deeply that we lose our peace, and we mishandle what
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: God has placed in our care. Come, oh Jesus, we
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: may not be holding stone tablets, but we are holding
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: something just as valuable. God has entrusted you with gifts.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Your peace, your integrity, your character, your relationships, your purpose.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: These are sacred. These are words protecting. The one to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: me would love to use frustration, offense, and even anger
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to get you out of position. If he can pull
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you into strife, he can distract you from your purpose.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: If he can keep you upset about what others are doing,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he can drain your energy and steal your joy. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: here's the truth. You are not responsible for controlling everybody else.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You are responsible for guarding what God gave you. You
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: can't make people do what's right. You can't fix every
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: problem or change every situation. But you can choose how
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you respond. You can choose peace over frustration. You can
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: choose grace over anger. You can choose to say grounded
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: in God, no matter what's happening around you. When you
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: do that, you protect the very things God is placed
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in your life. Don't let the chaos around you cause
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you to lose the calm within you. Instead, let the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: peace of Christ rule your heart. Stay an, stay steady,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: stay focused on what truly matters, because what God has
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: given you is too valuable to be broken by what's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: happening around you. Oh bather, God, thank you for the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: gifts that you've placed in our lives. Our peace, our purpose,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: our integrity. Help us to guard them carefully and not
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: allow the actions of others or the circumstances around us
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to cause us to lose what you've given us. God,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: teach us to respond with grace, to walk in peace,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and just stay focused on you in Jesus' name. Now
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that's your word for today. Take it applied to your
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and inspired.
• 3:40
