  Speaker 1: It's early what he praise party. I am a Sherry

  Speaker 1: Mackie at his time. Right now for today's word. You're
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: built to stand. You're built to stand. Joshua one and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: nine says, be strong and courageous, Do not be afraid,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: be with you wherever you go. There's a quiet weight.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Many men carry responsibility, expectation, provision, leadership, and pressure to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: always appear strong. Culture often defines manhood by performance, how
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: much you provide, how much you achieve, how little you struggle.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But God defines strength differently. Biblical strength is not the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: absence of pressure. It's the presence of faith under pressure.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Real strength is not just holding everything together on the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: outside while breaking on the inside. Real strength is learning
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: how to stand before God honestly, depend on him fully,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and lead from a place of surrender rather than pride.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Many men were taught to suppress struggle instead of bringing
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it to God. But silence doesn't make burdens lighter, It
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: just makes them heavier over time. God never asked you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to carry life alone. He invited you to walk with him.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: True leadership starts with alignment. Before you lead a family,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a team, a business, or a ministry, your call to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: be led by God. When a man is anchored in God,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he doesn't just react to life. He responds with wisdom,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: with restraint and direction. There would be moments when pressure rises,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: financial strain, family responsibility, personal battles, or seasons where answers
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: don't come quickly. In those moments. Courage is not the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: absence of fear. It is choosing obedience anyway. God is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: not looking for perfect men. He's building faithful men, men
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: who show up, men who stand firm, men who repent quickly,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: men who love deeply, and men who keep moving forward
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: even when life is hard and heavy. Strength is not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just about what you carry, It's about what you surrender,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: because what you place in God's hands becomes stronger than
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: what you try to control on your own. So today's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: stand tall but not in self reliance, Stand firmed but
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not in pride, Stand strong but anchored in God. You
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: are not created just to survive pressure. You were created
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to stand through it with purpose. Oh Father, strengthen us
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: when we feel weak, and steady us when we feel overwhelmed.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Teach us how to lead our lives, our homes, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: our decisions with humility and with wisdom. God, help us
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not to carry burdens. You never intended for us to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: hold on to alone. Make us people who understand firm faith, courage,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and obedience in Jesus's name. Hey, now that you're worth
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for today, take it applied to your everyday life and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It is your
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: early body praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
