  Speaker 1: Ante early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie. It's
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: time right now for today's word. Trusting your vindicator. Trusting
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: your Vindicator first. Samuel twenty six twenty three says, the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Lord gives his own reward for doing good and for
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: being loyal. And I refuse to kill you, even when
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Lord placed you in my power, for you are
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord's anointed one. You know there will be seasons
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in your life when you do everything right and still
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: find yourself treated wrong. You give your best, you walk
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in integrity, you remain faithful, and yet you're misunderstood, You're
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: overlooked and even mistreated. In those moments, it's tempting to
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: take matters into your own hands, to prove a point,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to get even, or to make things right your way.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: David understood that struggle all too well. He had already
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: proven himself defeating giant, winning battles, and serving King Saul
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: with loyalty and honor. Yet instead of being celebrated, he
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: became a target. Saul's jealousy turned into relentless pursuit, forcing
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: David to live in caves, constantly running for his life.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It didn't seem fair. It didn't make sense. David had
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: done nothing to deserve this. Then came a defining moment.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: One night, David had the opportunity to end it off. Saul,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the very one who had been chasing him, was right
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: there within reach. David could have justified taking action. He
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: could have said, this is my chance, this is my
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: way out. But instead David chose restraint. He chose honor.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: He chose to trust God. He understood something powerful. God
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is the ultimate vindicator. David refused to take the throne
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: by force because he knew if God had promised it,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: God would bring it to pass in the right way
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: at the right time, by taking high road, by forgiving,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: by showing mercy when he could have retaliated. David proved
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that his strust was not in his own ability, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in God's faithfulness. That same choice is before you today.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're in a situation that feels unfair. Maybe someone
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: has wronged you, talked about you, tried to block you,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: or made your path more difficult than it should be.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You may feel the pressure to defend yourself, to fight back,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to fix it on your own, But God is saying,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: let me be your vindicator. When you keep your heart
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: right when you continue to do good, when you refuse
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to compromise your integrity. God sees it all. Nothing is overlooked,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: nothing is ignored, and at the right time, He will
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: step in and make things right in a way that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is far greater than anything you could do on your own.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: What you're facing today is not the end of your story.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's just one chapter. And God has already written greater
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: chapters ahead, chapters filed with favor, chapters filed with restoration,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: chapters filled with promotion and peace. So stay the course,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: keep honoring God, keep walking in integrity, keep trusting his timing,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: because when God vindicates you, it will be undeniable. Father,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you that you see every injustice, every unfair situation
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: we face. Thank you that we don't have to fight
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: our own battles because you are our vindicator. Help us
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to stay on the high road and to walk in integrity,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and to trust your timing. Even God with us hide.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We believe that You're working on all things for our
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: good and that greater chapters are in front of us.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today. Take
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it applied to your everyday life, and you continue to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: be encouraged and inspired. It is your early body praise party.
