Today's Word 08-05-26 You Were Never Meant to Fly Alone · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: at this time, right now for today's word. You were
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: never meant to fly alone. You were never meant to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: fly alone, Hebrews ten twenty five says, And let us
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: not neglect our meeting together as some people do, but
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: encourage one another, especially now that the day of his
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: return is drawing near. You know, there's something special, something
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: powerful about watching birds fly together. They move in formation,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: each one benefiting from the strength the momentum of the others.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: They don't fight the wind alone. They work together, support
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one another, and move toward the same destination. Y'all, that's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: a lesson for all of us. It's easy to convince
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: ourselves that we can do life alone. We may think
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'm strong enough, I got this, I don't need anybody else,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And sometimes after being hurt or disappointed by people, we
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: may decide it's safer to keep our distance and never
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: let anyone get close. But the truth is, you will
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: never created to fly alone. You may be able to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: survive by yourself, but you will not reach your highest
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: potential by yourself. God has intentionally placed people in your
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: life who are meant to strengthen you, encourage you, challenge you,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: pray for you, and help you become everything He created
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you to be. Throughout Scripture, we are repeatedly reminded to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: do things for one another. Love one another, encourage one another,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: pray for one another, serve one another, forgive one another,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and comfort one another. Why because God understands the power
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of connection. There will be days when your faith is
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: strong and someone else needs your encouragement. And there will
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be days when you are the one who feels weak, discouraged,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and ready to give up, and someone else's faith will
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: help to carry you. See, that's why you need the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: right people around you. Don't isolate yourself and convince yourself
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that you don't need anyone. You may be strong enough
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: for what you have in mind, but God has something
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: bigger in mind. He may be taking you somewhere you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: can't reach by yourself. So ask yourself today, who's flying
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with me? Do you have people who pray with you,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: people who celebrate your victories without jealousy, people who tell
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you the truth and love, people who encourage you when
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you're tired and remind you of who you are when
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you seem to forget. If you do thank God for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: them and be that kind of person for somebody else.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: There is power and connectivity when we come together in faith.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: We become stronger when we worship together. Our praise becomes
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a weapon. When we encourage one another. Hope is restored
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: when we pray for each other. Burdens become lighter. You're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: not meant to fly solemn. God has surrounded you with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: people who can help you sore, and He has placed
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: something inside of you that someone else needs. So stay connected,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: stay encouraged, and stay in community. Because sometimes the greatest
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: blessing isn't just where God has taken you, it too,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: He chooses to take you there with Come on, Jesus Father,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: thank you for reminding us that we were never created
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to do life alone. Thank you for the people you've
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: placed in our lives who encourage us, strengthen us to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: pray for us and help us to grow. Help us
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to recognize and appreciate the godly relationships you've given us.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Heal the places in us that have caused us to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: isolate or pull away from others. Give us the wisdom
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to surround ourselves with people who will inspire us, challenge us,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and help us become all you created us to be,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and Father, help us to be that kind of person
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for others. Let our words bring encouragement, our presence brings strength,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and our faith helps somebody else keep going. God, we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: declare that we will not fall along. We will stay
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: connected to the right people and move forward together and faith, purpose,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and love in Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Take it apply to your everyday life, and you continue
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning praise. Pardon,
