  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. Grow through
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it first. Peter one in seven says that the genuineness
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Though it be tested by fire, may it be found
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You know, we all go through things that we don't like,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: things that frustrate us. A coworker gets on our nerves,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a child is being difficult, a dream is taking longer
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: than we thought. The raise or the promotion hasn't come yet.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It's easy to live frustrated, wondering why things are not changing.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: But see, God uses difficulties, He uses delays and inconveniences
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to do a work in us. If the situation isn't changing, maybe,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: just maybe God is using it to change you. Don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: just go through and be upset and bitter and offended.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Grow through it. Whatever your it is. See, that's an
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: opportunity to get stronger. That's an opportunity to develop your character,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to build your spiritual muscles. Learn whatever the lesson is
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that God wants you to learn. Then grow and mature
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in Him. We don't grow so much in the good times,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because see, it doesn't take faith to be happy and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: enjoy life when everything is going well. We grow in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the difficult times. We grow in the times when the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: genuineness of our faith is tested by fire, Like the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: scripture says, when someone does you wrong, that's a test.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: God is seeing if you're gonna get better, if you're
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: going to try to seek revenge and pay them back,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: or if you're going to take the high road you're
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: gonna walk in forgiveness. That's why we face challenges. Sometimes
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: God is refining us, getting us prepared for something greater.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: If you keep the right attitude, oh you'll grow through it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And guess what, it always works out for your good
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Oh Father God, in the name of Jesus, thank you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that you are the most high God, and that you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: are refining our lives with fire to develop our character
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and to help us grow stronger. Thank you that every
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: test of our faith is preparing us to go higher
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and increase us. We believe that we're coming out even
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: better in Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your word for today.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I want you to take that apply that to your
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: everyday life, and you can see to be encouraged and inspired.
• 2:55
