Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody does it like your early what he praise party.
- 0:02Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie and it's time, right now for
- 0:06Speaker 1: today's word. Walk away, blessed, walk away, blessed. Proverbs twenty
- 0:14Speaker 1: and three says avoiding a fight is a mark of honor.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Only fools insist on quarreling. You know there will always
- 0:24Speaker 1: be opportunities to be offended. People may say things that
- 0:28Speaker 1: are rude, dismissive, unfair, or simply untrue. Someone may overlook
- 0:33Speaker 1: your contribution, speak to you in a tone that you
- 0:37Speaker 1: don't necessarily appreciate, or they treat you in a way
- 0:40Speaker 1: that feels disrespectful. In those moments, everything in you may
- 0:46Speaker 1: want to defend yourself, clap back, or prove your point.
- 0:50Speaker 1: But God is calling us to a higher response, not reacting,
- 0:55Speaker 1: not arguing, not taking the bait. When we take the
- 1:01Speaker 1: bait of a fence, we step out of peace and
- 1:06Speaker 1: into unnecessary battles. Not every disagreement is meant for you
- 1:11Speaker 1: to fight. Not every insult needs an answer. Not every
- 1:15Speaker 1: situation requires you to explain yourself. Some battles are simply
- 1:20Speaker 1: distractions designed to pull your focus away from your purpose.
- 1:26Speaker 1: I want you to think about this the enemy doesn't
- 1:29Speaker 1: always show up wearing a red suit and a pitchfork.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Sometimes he shows up as irritation. Sometimes he shows up
- 1:37Speaker 1: as pettiness, as frustration, as arguments. He wants to drain
- 1:43Speaker 1: your energy so there's nothing left for the places God
- 1:48Speaker 1: has taking you. But when you choose peace over proving
- 1:52Speaker 1: your point, when you decide to respond with grace instead
- 1:56Speaker 1: of reaction, you honor God, and guess what, you keep
- 2:00Speaker 1: your joy. So I want you to ask yourself in
- 2:03Speaker 1: moments of tension, is this battle between me and my destiny?
- 2:10Speaker 1: If the answer is no, then it's not worth your time.
- 2:13Speaker 1: It's not worth fighting for God sees what's happening. He
- 2:17Speaker 1: sees the disrespect, he sees the misunderstanding, he sees the
- 2:21Speaker 1: unfair treatment, and He is the God of justice. When
- 2:28Speaker 1: you stay in peace, God steps in as your defender.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus, what he can do for you is
- 2:35Speaker 1: far greater than anything you could argue when or force
- 2:41Speaker 1: on your own. Walking away is not weakness, it's actually wisdom.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It takes strength to stay silent, It takes maturity to
- 2:51Speaker 1: remain gracious. It takes spiritual confidence to say God, I
- 2:56Speaker 1: trust you with this. You fight this bad and I'm
- 3:00Speaker 1: keeping my peace. So today choose peace. Stay focused, keep
- 3:07Speaker 1: your eyes on where God is taking you. Your destiny
- 3:11Speaker 1: is way too important to be delayed by distraction. Oh Father, God,
- 3:16Speaker 1: thank you. Thank you for giving us the strength to
- 3:20Speaker 1: walk away from unnecessary conflict and away from distraction. Teach
- 3:26Speaker 1: us God to recognize when something is simply baked to
- 3:29Speaker 1: pull us out of our peace. God, help us to
- 3:32Speaker 1: respond with wisdom, with patience, and with grace. Oh God,
- 3:36Speaker 1: we choose to trust in You to fight our battles
- 3:40Speaker 1: and to be our vindicator. God. We choose peace, We
- 3:44Speaker 1: choose honor. We choose your way in Jesus' name. Mm.
- 3:49Speaker 1: That's your way. Ah, that's your word for today. Take
- 3:52Speaker 1: it applied to your everyday life and you continue to
- 3:54Speaker 1: be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning praise party
- 3:58Speaker 1: with me and your girl sharing Mackie encouraging you to
