Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry macke.
- 0:04Speaker 1: It is time right now for today's word. Expect the unexpected.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Expect the unexpected. Deuteronomy aged sixteen says He fed you
- 0:17Speaker 1: with manna in the wilderness of food unknown to your ancestors.
- 0:23Speaker 1: You know, there are moments in life when God provides
- 0:25Speaker 1: in ways you never saw coming, ways that don't fit
- 0:28Speaker 1: your plans, your expectations, or even your imaginations. See that's
- 0:33Speaker 1: exactly what happened to the Israelites. As they wandered through
- 0:36Speaker 1: the wilderness. They found themselves in a place of need.
- 0:39Speaker 1: There was no food, no natural supply, no clear solution.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Then suddenly God provided something completely new, manna. It appeared
- 0:49Speaker 1: on the ground like bread from heaven. When they saw it,
- 0:54Speaker 1: their response was simple, what is it? They had no
- 0:57Speaker 1: category for it, no reference for it, no explanation. Yet
- 1:01Speaker 1: it became their provision, not for a day, not for
- 1:03Speaker 1: a week, but for forty years. That's the kind of
- 1:07Speaker 1: God we serve, y'all. A God who is not limited
- 1:10Speaker 1: by what you see before you, A God who is
- 1:12Speaker 1: not restricted by your past experiences. A God who knows
- 1:17Speaker 1: how to provide in ways that will leave you saying
- 1:20Speaker 1: I didn't see that coming. I just like he did
- 1:24Speaker 1: it for them. Yeah, because just like he did it
- 1:27Speaker 1: for them, he still does it for us. God has
- 1:31Speaker 1: some what is it blessings prepared for your life. Come on, Jesus.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Opportunities that you didn't plan, favor, you didn't earn, connections
- 1:40Speaker 1: that you didn't expect. Moments where you step back and
- 1:43Speaker 1: you say, wow, I never thought i'd be here. I
- 1:46Speaker 1: didn't know I had this inside of me. I never
- 1:50Speaker 1: imagine this door would be open. That's God doing something
- 1:55Speaker 1: new in your life. You may be in a season
- 1:58Speaker 1: right now where things feel unstor maybe you don't see
- 2:01Speaker 1: how it's all gonna work out. Maybe the resources don't
- 2:04Speaker 1: seem to be there, maybe the path forward isn't clear.
- 2:08Speaker 1: But just because you don't see it doesn't mean God
- 2:11Speaker 1: hasn't already prepared for it. Your manner may not look
- 2:14Speaker 1: like what you expected, but it would be exactly what
- 2:18Speaker 1: you need. Come on, Jesus. It could come as unexpected opportunity,
- 2:24Speaker 1: unexpected income, unexpected healing, unexpected peace. God specializes in exceeding expectations.
- 2:31Speaker 1: In fact, what He's about to do in your future
- 2:34Speaker 1: can make what he's done in your past look small
- 2:38Speaker 1: in comparison. But here's the key. When those blessings begin
- 2:42Speaker 1: to show up, when the doors open, when the favor comes,
- 2:44Speaker 1: when the breakthrough happens, don't you dare forget the source.
- 2:49Speaker 1: It wasn't luck, it was a coincidence. It wasn't just
- 2:52Speaker 1: your effort or somebody that hooked you up. It was God.
- 2:56Speaker 1: The same God who provided manna in the wilderness is
- 2:59Speaker 1: a God who's providing for you. So stay expected, stay hopeful,
- 3:04Speaker 1: stay open to the unexpected, because God is about to
- 3:07Speaker 1: do something in your life that you won't be able
- 3:09Speaker 1: to fully explain. You'll just have to say this had
- 3:12Speaker 1: to be God. Uh. Come on, Jesus, I received that. Father.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Thank you that you are our source, you are our provider.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Thank you that you are not limited to what we've
- 3:22Speaker 1: seen before or what we can even imagine. God, we
- 3:25Speaker 1: choose to trust you, even well when we don't understand
- 3:29Speaker 1: how things will work out. We believe you are bringing
- 3:32Speaker 1: unexpected blessings, unexpected opportunities, and breakthroughs into our lives. And
- 3:37Speaker 1: when they come, God, we will remember that it all
- 3:40Speaker 1: comes from you. In Jesus' name. Now that's your word
- 3:44Speaker 1: for today. Take it, apply to your everyday life, and
- 3:47Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It is your
- 3:50Speaker 1: early wedding praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
