Today's Word 01-07-26 Designed on Purpose · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word Designed on purpose.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Ephesians one eleven says, in him, we have obtained an inheritance,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: works all things according to the council of his will.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I hope you know how deeply your life matters today.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I hope you know how significant you are to God.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: You are not an afterthought, You are not an accident,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You are not a random collection of circumstances.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Long before you ever took.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Your first breath, God carefully planned your days. He saw
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: your gifts, he saw your challenges, he saw your calling
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and your future, and he declared that it was good.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Scripture tells us that He works all things according to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the counsel of his will. That means nothing about your
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: life is wasted, nothing about your life is overlooked, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: nothing about your life is.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Outside of his control.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: God has placed a divine assignment over your life. Even
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the twist and the turns you didn't choose, the delays
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you don't understand, and the seasons that feel confusing are
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: being woven into His greater purpose. When scripture says that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: God has the final say, it means circumstances.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Don't get the last word.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: People's opinions don't determine your destiny. Mistakes don't cancel your calling.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: God's plan is stronger than setbacks and greater than what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you can currently see. There will be moments when his
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: plan doesn't make sense to your natural mind. You may
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: find yourself asking why doors closed, why prayer seem unanswered,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and why progress feels slower than expected. But faith doesn't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: require full understanding. It requires trust. If you try to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: figure everything out on your own, you'll grow frustrated and weary.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So instead choose peace. Say God, I don't understand this chapter,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but I do trust thee Arthur. He's working behind the scenes,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: aligning the right people, opening the right doors, and positioning
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you for what's next. So you keep God first place.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: You keep honoring him even when it's difficult. You keep
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: doing the right thing when no one else is watching,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and when it feels like it's not paying off. Your
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: obedience and faith are never wasted. At the right time,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: God will reveal what he's been doing all along. One
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: day you'll look back and you'll see how every step,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: even the hard ones, was leading you closer to your purpose.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So resting this truth.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Today, your life is unfolding according to an amazing plan.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: God is not finished with you yet, and what he's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: promised he's faithful to bring to pass. Oh Father God,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: thank you for reminding us that our lives are a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: part of a divine plan designed by you. Thank you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that you're working all things together according to your will
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: even when we.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Don't understand it. So help us to trust you fully.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: To stay in peace, and to remain faithful as you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: lead us into purpose. God, we know you are in control,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and we place our future in your hands in Jesus' name.
