  Speaker 1: I am a sherry Nacky at his time. Right now
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for today's word, I'm asking the question, what are you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: looking for? Isaiah thirty eighteen says, Yet the Lord longs
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to be gracious to you. Therefore he will rise up
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to show you compassion. Blessed are all who wait for him.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Did you notice in today's scripture that God longs to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: be good to you, that he wants to show you
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: his favor and compassion. But there's a condition. He looks
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: for people who wait for him, who are expecting his goodness.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: He's looking for people who believe that healing is coming,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: that breakthroughs are on the way, that their future will
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: be brighter than their past. Could it be that God
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is longing to show you his goodness, but you're not
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: seeing it because you're not looking for it. It's easy
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to become passive and complacent in life, thinking you've seen
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your best days. No, God has an incredible future still
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: plan for you. You still haven't seen the favor, the blessing,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and the things that God has in store for you.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The scripture says, his favor is for a lifetime, but
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you got to be looking for it. You've got to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: be expecting things to turn around, believing that God good
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: things are coming, thanking him that the best days are
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: still ahead of you. Don't put your faith on autopilot,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you know, just letting life happen and taking it as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it comes. No, God didn't create you to reach a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: certain level it then get stuck right there. He promises
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in his word that your path will get brighter and brighter.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So what are you looking for? Are you looking for favor?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Are you looking for the promises of God? Are you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: expecting him to overwhelm you with his goodness? What are
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you looking for? Or are you not looking for anything
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: at all? Or are your eyes closed? Oh Father God,
