  Speaker 1: Cher Early Boddy Praise party. I am Sherry Mackie and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it's time right now for today's word stop running. Genesis
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: sixteen nine and ten says the Angel of the Lord
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: said to her, return to your mistress and submit to
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: her authority. Then he added, I will give you more
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: descendants than you can count y'all remember the story of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Sarah and hey guy, and how Sarah wanted a baby
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and she decided she was gonna help God out by
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: getting her handmaidens Hagar, to sleep with her husband. Well,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of course, Hagar I had the baby and Sarah got Jose,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: who's a whole mess anyway. In Genesis sixteen, Hagar had
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: first treated her mistress Sarah with contempt because of course
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: she started feeling like, I'm the one with the baby.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: What you gonna do? Then Sarah got so upset that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: she treated Hagar harshly and made her life miserable. Finally,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: he had had enough and she ran away. Fleeing into
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the wilderness. The angel found her beside a spring of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: water and told her to return, and not only return,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: submit to Sarah's authority. Y'all know that had to be
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: hind Here's the principle though to this story, anything you
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: run from you're gonna have to go back and deal
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: with eventually. Now, I'm not talking about staying in an
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: abusive relationship. No, no, no, don't get it twisted. But
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I am saying you can't run and change jobs every
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: time you get upset. You can't change friends, you can't
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: change churches, you can't change spouses every time things get hard.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Here again, I'm not talking about an abusive or toxics
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: toxic situation. I'm just talking about just because you mad
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: or you don't, you ain't happy no more. You can't
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: pack up because you're uncomfortable, So stop running. God will
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: provide you and give you the grace you need to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: stay there or be there. The angel went on to say,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: if you go back and serve Sarah, God will give
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you more descendants than you can even count. In other words,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: when you obey God, when you do the right thing,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: even when it's hard, there's a blessing that follows. God
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: will show out in your life and take you to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: levels that you never dreamed of. Stop running and prepare
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for the blessing of doing things God's way. Yes, Lord, Father, God,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: thank you for being the amazing God who can take
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: our messes and the things we've run away from and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: turn them into miracles when we return and face them.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you that your grace is always there to help us. God,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we believe that you're working all things together for our good.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name. Word for today, I want you to
