There are moments in life when you expect the people closest to
0:03
you to show up. You think, surely they'll be
0:07
there for me during this season. But sometimes the moment comes
0:12
and they are not there. Today's scripture is coming from
0:15
Matthew chapter #26 verse 45. And this is the TLP version.
0:20
And it reads and he came to his disciples and said, sleep on now
0:26
and take your rest. Let's go deeper.
0:31
One of the most human moments in Scripture happens in the Garden
0:35
of Gethsemane. Jesus is facing the weight of
0:38
the cross. The pressure is enormous.
0:42
The future of his assignment is hours away.
0:47
And in that moment he asked his closest friends to do something
0:51
simple, stay awake, pray with him.
0:56
But when he comes back, they are asleep.
0:59
Not once, not twice, three times.
1:05
At some point Jesus stopped trying to wake them and simply
1:09
says sleep on that moment isn't just about tired disciples.
1:15
It's a revelation about purpose. Because sometimes the people you
1:19
expect to support you the most won't show up when you need
1:23
them. The encouragement is not there.
1:26
The call never comes. The help you thought you could
1:30
rely on disappears. And that can be painful.
1:35
But Jesus shows us something powerful.
1:38
He did not let their absence interrupt his assignment.
1:43
He didn't postpone the cross. He didn't abandoned the mission.
1:47
He didn't sit there waiting for people to become what they were
1:50
not ready to be. He kept moving.
1:54
There are seasons when God teaches you a deeper level of
1:58
strength. Not the strength that comes from
2:00
applause, but the strength that comes from alignment.
2:05
When your inner spirit is aligned with destiny, your path
2:10
cannot depend on constant validation from others.
2:15
Simply put, you will not depend on validation outside yourself.
2:20
From another ancient perspective, a person walking in
2:23
their purpose understands that not everyone assigned to your
2:27
life is assigned to your season. Some people walk with you for
2:32
encouragement, others walk with you for a moment.
2:36
But purpose doesn't stop because support disappears.
2:40
So when people don't show up the way you hoped, don't get bitter.
2:44
Don't shrink back, don't abandoned the call on your life.
2:49
Just keep moving. And here says reflection moment.
2:54
Think about this today. Am I waiting for someone's
2:57
support before moving? What would it look like to keep
3:01
moving in purpose even if others don't understand the moment I'm
3:05
in? And here's a declaration.
3:09
Repeat this after me. I will not depend on people to
3:13
validate my assignment. God is my strength.
3:17
My purpose does not stop because support changes.
3:21
I will keep moving, and here is today's prayer.
3:25
God, thank you that when people fail us, You remain faithful.
3:30
Give us the strength to keep moving forward in our purpose
3:33
without bitterness or discouragement.
3:36
Help us to download the wisdom from that experience.
3:40
Teach us to depend on ourselves and you in us more than the
3:45
support of others and the approval of others.
3:49
We trust that you're walking with us in every step that we
3:53
take. We honor you for making sure
3:55
that while we're taking that step, that every step is
3:58
protected. We thank you that every step is
4:00
prosperous. And then not only that, that we
4:03
are all whole and complete with nothing missing, broken, or
4:05
locking. We honor you for all these
4:07
things and for making sure that everyone who is new and dear to
4:10
our heart that they are protected.
4:13
And we honor you for these things.
4:14
And we expect all of this in the maximus name of Jesus the Christ
4:18
our King. We do pray, Amen.
4:20
God bless y'all. I love you and I hope you have a
4:24
fantastic day today y'all, take care.
4:29
One last thought. Sometimes people fall asleep in
4:32
moments that matter to you, but purpose doesn't.
4:36
Wait for everyone to wake up. Keep moving.
