Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Nobody now do me. Nobody does it like your early
- 0:03Speaker 1: morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie. It is time
- 0:07Speaker 1: right now for today's word. The little things that lifts you.
- 0:12Speaker 1: The little things that lifts you. Colossians three twenty three says,
- 0:17Speaker 1: and whatever you do, did heartily as to the Lord
- 0:21Speaker 1: and not to men. You know, we often think breakthrough
- 0:26Speaker 1: comes from one big moment, a major opportunity, a huge promotion,
- 0:31Speaker 1: a dramatic answer to prayer. But more often than not,
- 0:35Speaker 1: it's not the big things in termine our destiny. It's
- 0:38Speaker 1: the small, unseen, everyday choices. It's how you speak when
- 0:43Speaker 1: you're frustrated. It's how you respond when you're overlooked. It's
- 0:47Speaker 1: whether you show kindness when it's inconvenient. See, the little
- 0:51Speaker 1: things don't feel insignificant at the time. In fact, they
- 0:55Speaker 1: can feel unfair. Maybe at work you're not getting the
- 0:58Speaker 1: credit you deserve. Someone else is being recognized while you're
- 1:02Speaker 1: doing the heavy lifting. At home, you're the one making
- 1:05Speaker 1: sacrifices that go unnoticed. And relationships you're choosing patience while
- 1:09Speaker 1: the other person seems difficult. It's tempting to say, why
- 1:13Speaker 1: should I keep trying? Why should I go the extra
- 1:16Speaker 1: mile when no one appreciates it. See that's where this
- 1:19Speaker 1: scripture becomes so powerful. Do it as unto the Lord.
- 1:24Speaker 1: When you change your perspective, everything shifts. You're not just
- 1:28Speaker 1: being patient for your spouse. You're honoring God. You're not
- 1:32Speaker 1: just staying professional for your boss. You're representing God. You're
- 1:36Speaker 1: not just keeping your mouth closed. You're passing a spiritual test.
- 1:41Speaker 1: God is far more interested in your character than your comfort.
- 1:45Speaker 1: The way you handle the small moments reveal whether you're
- 1:48Speaker 1: ready for the bigger ones. If you can't manage your
- 1:52Speaker 1: attitudes and a minor inconvenience, how will you manage responsibility
- 1:56Speaker 1: at a higher level. Promotion doesn't ultimately come from people.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It comes from God. People may overlook you, but God
- 2:05Speaker 1: never does. Every time you choose integrity over impulse, kindness
- 2:09Speaker 1: over criticism, excellence over mediocrity, you're so in seeds, and
- 2:14Speaker 1: seeds always produce a harvest. The enemy wants you to
- 2:18Speaker 1: think the small things don't matter. Oh, but Heaven keeps
- 2:23Speaker 1: a record of what Earth ignores. When you do the
- 2:28Speaker 1: right thing when it's hard, when you honor God in private,
- 2:32Speaker 1: when you stay faithful in the mundane You're building a
- 2:35Speaker 1: foundation that can sustain the blessings God has prepared for you.
- 2:40Speaker 1: So don't let a small compromise delay of big destiny.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Don't let minor irritations rob you have made your favor.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Greatness is not built in grand gestures. It's built in
- 2:52Speaker 1: consistent obedience. And when you unor God in the little things, Oh,
- 2:57Speaker 1: He'll trust you with greater things. Oh Father, help us
- 2:59Speaker 1: to honor you into small, everyday moments of life. Teach
- 3:03Speaker 1: us to respond with integrity, kindness, and excellence even when
- 3:08Speaker 1: it's difficult or unnoticed. God, we choose to do everything
- 3:11Speaker 1: else unto you. We trust that You, God, are faithful,
- 3:16Speaker 1: and we will stay faithful. God, You'll lead us into
- 3:19Speaker 1: greater things when we do. In Jesus' name. Hey, now
- 3:23Speaker 1: that's your word for today. Take it applied to your
- 3:25Speaker 1: everyday life and you continue to be encouraged at inspired.
- 3:29Speaker 1: It is your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
