• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I am Sherri Mackey and it's time right now for
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: today's word.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Even this is part of the plan.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Psalms 119.91 says, Your faithfulness extends to every generation like
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the earth you created. It endures by your decree for
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: everything serves your plan. Have you ever looked at your
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: life and wondered, God, what are you doing here? This
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: is not how I planned it. This is not where
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I thought I'd be. And honestly, none of this makes sense. Well,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: let me encourage you today. Just because you don't understand
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: what God is doing doesn't mean he's not working. Life
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't always move in a straight line. Sometimes there are detours,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: unexpected delays, closed doors and disappointments that leave us questioning
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: our next move. You thought the relationship would last. You
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: thought the opportunity was yours. You prayed for one outcome,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: but life took a completely different turn. And when things
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: don't go according to plan, it's easy to become frustrated
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and assume that someone has done you wrong or something
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: has gone wrong. But what if the setback you're upset
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: about is the very thing God will use to redirect
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: your steps? Psalms 119.91 reminds us that everything serves God's plan.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean everything that happens is good or that
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: God approves of every wrong done to us. It means
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that even in a broken, unpredictable world, nothing is beyond
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: his ability to redeem and use for his purpose.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Sometimes a closed.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Door protects you from what you can't see. Sometimes a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: delay protects develops the patience and the wisdom you need
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: for the next season. And sometimes when life pushes you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: out of your comfort zone, God uses that uncomfortable place
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to prepare you for something you never would have pursued
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: on your own.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I want you to think about it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You may be calling it a setback while God is
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: using it to teach you, strengthen you, and redirect you.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You may feel like you're moving backward, but this season
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: could be preparing you for a different way forward. So,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: What do you do when you don't understand?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You keep praying. You keep obeying.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: You keep doing what is right and you refuse to
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: let uncertainty steal your peace. You don't have to know
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: every detail of the plan to trust the one who
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: holds your future. Your responsibility is to remain faithful. God's
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: responsibility is to lead you. Today, stop exhausting yourself trying
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to figure out every twist and turn. Trust God in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the unanswered questions, the unexpected changes, and the seasons that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: don't make sense. The story isn't over just because the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: chapter is difficult. You may not understand the process, but
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you can trust the God.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Who is walking you through it. Oh, Father God, thank
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Even when we can't understand what's happening, we can trust
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: your wisdom and faithfulness. Help us, God, to release the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: need to control every outcome. God, give us peace in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the waiting, strength in the setbacks, and discernment to recognize
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: when you're redirecting our steps. Heal our disappointments, God, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: keep our heart strong. from growing weary. God, we believe
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: you can redeem what has hurt us and guide us
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: toward your purpose in Jesus' name.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, now that's your word for today.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Take it, apply it to your everyday life, and you
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: continue to be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: praise party. I am Sherri Mackey.
