  Before the emails, the news, the opinions, the pressure, and the
• 0:07
  expectations, you get to speak first.
• 0:12
  Today's scripture is coming from Psalms chapter #59 verse 16.
• 0:16
  And this is the NLT and it reads.
• 0:20
  But As for me, I will sing about your power each morning.
• 0:27
  I will sing with joy about your unfailing love, For you have
• 0:33
  been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.
• 0:40
  Let's go deep. Most of us prepare the outside
• 0:45
  before we ever check the inside. We shower, dress, adjust the
• 0:51
  appearance, but we step into the day unarmed.
• 0:57
  Internally. A policy look can't cover
• 1:01
  insecurity. These schedules don't silence
• 1:05
  self doubt, and success won't stabilize an identity that
• 1:10
  hasn't been grounded. First, David understood
• 1:15
  something powerful. What you established in the
• 1:18
  morning governs what you endure all day before the distress
• 1:25
  shows up. He minded himself who God was
• 1:30
  and who he was because of God within.
• 1:35
  That wasn't passive worship. That was inner leadership.
• 1:41
  When you speak truth before the day speaks noise.
• 1:44
  You don't spend the rest of the day reacting.
• 1:47
  You move with intention, with steadiness, with authority.
• 1:54
  This is all orientation. You decide the tone, the
• 1:59
  narrative, and the posture of your mind.
• 2:03
  Before the day tries to define you define yourself.
• 2:10
  And here's today's reflection moment.
• 2:13
  Pause and ask yourself this. What usually speaks to me first
• 2:18
  in the morning, and what would change if I set the tone before
• 2:25
  everything else did? And here's today's declaration.
• 2:32
  Repeat this after me before the day speaks.
• 2:36
  I speak truth. I answer today grounded, not
• 2:40
  rushed. I am steady, clear and fully
• 2:44
  present. What comes at me will not move
• 2:48
  me out of position. And here is today's prayer.
• 2:54
  God, thank you that we don't have to enter the day uncentered
• 2:58
  or unserved. Thank you that we can begin each
• 3:02
  morning grounded in truth, clarity and confidence.
• 3:07
  Help us establish our inner world before we step into outer
• 3:11
  demands. We choose steadiness over chaos
• 3:15
  and intention, overreaction and truth over noise.
• 3:21
  Today, we lead ourselves well with authority and certainty.
• 3:28
  We honor you for all these things and for making sure that
• 3:31
  we're whole and complete, but nothing missing, broken, or
• 3:34
  lacking. We thank you for making sure
• 3:37
  that all that we do throughout this day is continue to prosper.
• 3:41
  And we are you for these things and amass this name of Jesus to
• 3:44
  Christ. How can we do prayer?
• 3:46
  Amen. God bless y'all, I love you and
• 3:49
  I hope you have a fantastic day today.
• 3:52
  I'll take it. Well, last thought, the
• 3:56
  strongest days are not the busiest words.
• 4:00
  They're the ones where you spoke before the world did.
• 4:04
  And before you go before the day spoke to you today, what did you
• 4:09
  say first? Drop that in the comments.
