  Speaker 1: It charl of what he praise party.

  Speaker 2: I am Sherry Mackie at his time, right now, for
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: today's word, God, What God has given you? God, What
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: God has given you? Judge sixteen twenty eight says. Then
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Samson pray to the Lord, Sovereign Lord, remember me again,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Oh God, please strengthen me just one more time. You know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: there are things God places in our lives that are
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: more than gifts.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: They are sacred assignments.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Our purpose, our character, our influence, our families.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Our opportunities.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: The calling God has placed on us is not accidental.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It's entrusted to us.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Samson understood what it meant to be chosen before he
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: was born. Purpose had already been spoken over his life.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: God called him to deliver his people, and Samson was
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: given extraordinary strength to fulfill that assignment. God's hand was
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: upon him in a powerful way. Yet having a calling
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and protecting and calling are two different things. Over time,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Samson became careless with what was sacred. He compromised, He
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: ignored warnings, He allowed distractions and unhealthy relationships to pull
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: him away from wisdom. Little by little, he treated lightly
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: what God intended him to guard carefully. Eventually, the man
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: known for strength found himself weak, captured, blinded, and bound.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: His story is a reminder that even people with great
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: potential can drift when they stop valuing what God has
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: entrusted to them. Well, the same question reaches us today.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Are we protecting what God has given us? Are we
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: guarding our peace? Are we protecting our faith? Are we
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: investing in our families? Are we honoring our integrity nurturing
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the gifts God's placed on the inside of us?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: See?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Sometimes loss doesn't happen all at once. It happens gradually
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: through neglect, through compromise, or believing something sacred is common.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yet Samson's story does not end in failure. That may
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: be the most encouraging part.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I think for you and me.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: At his lowest point, after mistakes, after regret, after consequences,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Samson cried out to God, strengthened me one more time?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: And God answered, See that's the thing. And God answered, see,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: think about the mercy in that Samson had failed, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: God had not abandoned him. His mistakes were real, yet
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: God's grace was greater. The same God who called Samson
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: still heard his prayer. That means failure is not always final.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe you feel miss you've mishandled opportunities. Perhaps you've drifted
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: from purpose neglect that you're calling a made choices you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: wish you could undo. The enemy wants you to believe
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it's too late. But God is a god of restoration.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: As mercy creates rooms for another chance, his grace says,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: rise again, return again, believe again. See your setback does
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: not erase your purpose. Your failure does not cancel God's ability.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: To redeem your story.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Today, I want you to consider what God is placed
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: in your hands, treated as sacred protected, Honor it, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: if you've stumbled along the way, remember God still strengthens
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: people one more time, and sometimes that one more time
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: becomes the beginning of a brand new chapter.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the gifts, the purpose, and the call
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you've placed on our lives. Help us to value and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: protect what you've entrusted to us. Thank you for your
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: mercy that covers our failures and your grace that gives
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: us another opportunity to walk in purpose, Strengthen us again
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: when we've become weak, and restore what we've neglected. Oh God,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we believe You're not finished with us yet. In Jesus' name.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Now that's your word for today. Take it applied to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged and inspire.
