  Speaker 1: Mackie in his time for today's word, Nourish what's next.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Nourish what's next?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Matthews six point thirty four says, give your attention to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: what God is doing now and don't get worked up
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about what may or may not happen tomorrow.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: That's from the message translation. Y'all.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, one of the greatest battles we face isn't
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: around us, it's within us. It's the battle of where
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: we choose to focus our thoughts. Every day we are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: making decisions, whether we realize it or not, and we're
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: feeding our history or we're feeding our destiny. It's easy
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to feat your history, y'all. Your mind will naturally drift
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: back to past disappointments, past mistakes, past hurts and failures.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You may find yourself replaying what went wrong, wishing you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: had made different choices, or holding on to what some
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: said or someone said or did to you. Maybe it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: regret over missed opportunities, bitterness from a broken relationship, or
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: discouragement from a setback you didn't even see coming.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: See.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: If you're not careful, your past can start to define
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: your presence. When you keep feeding those negative thoughts, they
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: begin to shape how you see yourself and your future.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You may start believing that you've missed your chance, that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you're not good enough, or that things will never change,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and before long.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: You feel stuck.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You feel frustrated, you feel discouraged and even defeated.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: But here's the truth.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: You can't move forward if you're always looking backward. God
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is not focused on your past. He's focused on your future.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's why the scripture encourages us to give our attention
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to what.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: God is doing right now.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: God is always at work, even when we don't see
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: it or feel it. He's orchestrating things behind the scene,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: aligning opportunities, preparing blessings, and make it a way forward.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: When you begin to feed your destiny, your whole mindset shifts.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Instead of dwelling on what didn't work out, you start
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: declaring what God says about your life. Father, Thank you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that your plans for me are good. Thank you that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: what was meant for harm you're turning around for my good.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you that our past are getting brighter and brighter.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: See those kinds of thoughts build your faith. They create expectation.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They position you to move forward with confidence and hope.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Feeding your destiny doesn't mean ignoring reality. It means choosing
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: faith over fear, hope over regret, and purpose over pain.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Come old, Jesus.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It means trusting that God is not finished with your
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: story and that the best chapters are still ahead of you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You have the power to direct your thoughts, and when
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: your thoughts move in the right direction, your life will follow.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So today make the decision stop feeding what's behind you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and start nourishing what's ahead. Because your destiny is too
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: important to be starved by your past. Jesus, Oh Father God,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: thank you that your plans for us are good and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: full of hope. Help us to let go of the passes.
• 3:06

• 3:09
  Speaker 1: focus on what You're doing in our lives right now.
• 3:12
