  The road may twist, the path may take longer, but the detour
• 0:06
  doesn't cancel the destination. God's plan is always greater
• 0:12
  than the detour. Today's Scripture is coming from
• 0:16
  Psalm chapter #138 and verse #8 in the new Living Translation.
• 0:22
  It says the Lord will work out His plan for my life.
• 0:27
  For your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
• 0:33
  Let's go further. Look at Joseph, 13 years of
• 0:38
  detours. His brothers turned on him and
• 0:42
  he was thrown into a pit, sold into slavery and locked up for a
• 0:46
  crime he did not commit. From the outside it looked like
• 0:51
  his life was off course, but in reality every detour was divine
• 0:58
  direction, every set back was setting him up for leadership in
• 1:03
  Egypt. That's the power of God's plan.
• 1:09
  The betrayal, the prison, the delays.
• 1:12
  They didn't stop his destiny. They positioned him for it.
• 1:17
  So hear me out. Stop cursing the detours.
• 1:22
  Stop living bitter over who left, what closed, or what fell
• 1:27
  apart. The detour may be uncomfortable,
• 1:31
  but it's not permanent and is not wasted because God's plan
• 1:37
  for your life is greater than the detour.
• 1:44
  And here's today's reflection moment.
• 1:46
  Ask yourself this, where have I mistaken a detour for a dead
• 1:52
  end? How can I shift my perspective
• 1:55
  and trust that God is still directing my steps?
• 2:00
  And here's today's declaration moment.
• 2:02
  Say this with me. God's plan is greater than my
• 2:07
  detours. Setbacks will not stop my
• 2:11
  destiny. I choose peace over bitterness.
• 2:18
  My path is still leading me to greater.
• 2:23
  And here's today's prayer. God, thank you that your plan is
• 2:29
  greater and bigger than every delay and every disappointment
• 2:34
  we have ever experienced. Thank You that you are working
• 2:39
  in every detour of our life. We trust you to bring us
• 2:45
  through, and we declare that nothing can cancel our destiny.
• 2:50
  And because of that, we're not going to look at any type of
• 2:54
  detour or direction adjustment as a negative.
• 2:57
  We know that it's leading us toward the plan that you had
• 3:01
  already in mind for us. Thank you for not wasting any of
• 3:04
  our experiences, but making them do that Romans 828 thing where
• 3:09
  you make them all work for our being.
• 3:12
  Thank you that we have this understanding and this clarity
• 3:14
  so that we can achieve everything you have on our
• 3:17
  agenda for that day, every day of our life.
• 3:21
  Continue to give us strength, energy, wisdom, guidance, team
• 3:24
  to uncover skill sets and talents and allow us to network.
• 3:28
  We are need for covering our kids, our loved ones, and making
• 3:31
  sure that everyone who's close to us is covered and protected
• 3:33
  in every way possible. Thank you for your provision,
• 3:36
  thank you for your peace and making sure that we're whole and
• 3:39
  complete with nothing missing, broken or lacking.
• 3:42
  We are you for all these many things you continue to bestow
• 3:45
  upon us and it's in the matchless name of Jesus.
• 3:47
  To Christ our King, we do prayer.
• 3:49
  Amen. God bless y'all, I love you and
• 3:53
  I hope you have a fantastic day today.
• 3:56
  Y'all take care. One last thought, don't despise
• 4:01
  the detour. Yeah, it happened, but it's
• 4:06
  carrying you straight into your destiny.
