  Speaker 1: It's early Mordy praise party. I am Sherry Mackie at
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: his time. Right now for today's word. Remember what God
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: is already done. Remember what God has already done. Genesis
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: thirty three twenty in the Message translation said, he then
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: built an altar there and named it l l Oh Israel.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Mighty is the God of Israel. You know, there are
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: moments in life when God does something so remarkable that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we know it could have only been him. A door
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: open that should have stayed close. A relationship is restored
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: when it seemed beyond repair, a burden is lifted, a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: breakthrough comes, or a prayer is answered in a way
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we never expected. In those moments, we're reminded that we
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: serve a mighty God. Jacob expir into one of those moments.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: For twenty years, he had lived with the fear of
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: facing his brother Esau. Their last encounter had ended in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: anger and threats. Jacob had deceived his father and stolen
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the blessing that Esau believed belonged to him. The wounds
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: ran deep, and Jacob had every reason to believe that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Esau still wanted revenge. As Jacob journeyed home, he learned
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that Esau was approaching with four hundred men. Imagine the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: thoughts racing through their mind. He likely expected confrontation, punishment,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: or even death. From a human perspective, the situation looked hopeless.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But when the brothers finally met, something extraordinary happened. Instead
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: of anger, y'all, there was forgiveness instead of revenge, That
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: was reconciliation. Esau ran to Jacob, embraced him, kissed him,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and will with him. What Jacob feared most became one
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of the greatest displays of God's favor in his life.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The response of Jacob was powerful. He built an altar
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and named it l Loh Israel, which means Mighty is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the God of Israel. Why an altar because Jacob never
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to forget what God had done. See, sometimes we
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: become so focused on the next challenge that we forget
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the victories God has already given us. We moved quickly
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: from one prayer request to another without pausing to thank
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Him for his faithfulness. Take a moment today and remember
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: remember the doors he opened, Remember the protection he provided,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Remember the prayers He's already answered. Remember the times he
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: carried you when you thought you weren't gonna be able
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to make it. See those memories become altars of gratitude
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that strengthen our faith for the future. The God who
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: work for Jacob is the same God working for you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: He's still restoring relationships, He's still healing hearts, He's still
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: making ways where there seems to be no ways. He
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: is still opening doors that no one can shut and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: turning impossible situations around. Whatever challenge you're facing today, remember this,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: The mighty God who helped you before has not changed.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: He is still at work. He is still abel. Oh
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Father God, thank you, Thank you that you are mighty.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: You go before us in ways and work in ways
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that we cannot see or understand. Thank you for every
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: prayer that you've answered. Thank you for every door you've opened,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and every victory you've given us. Help us to never
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: forget your faithfulness as we face new challenges. Remind us
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: on what you've already done and strengthen our faith to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: belief or what you're about to do. God, we declare
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that you're still working miracles, still restoring, and still making
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a way where they're sin seems to be known in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. That's your word for today. Take it applied
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
