  Speaker 1: at its time, right now. For today's word, don't take
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the bait. Don't take the bait. Psalms in ninety four
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: thirteen says that you may give him power to keep
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: himself calm in the days of adversity when you take
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the high road, when you choose to remain calm and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: quiet when someone offends you. Some people may mistake that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: for weakness, but the truth is it's a sign of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: maturity and strength. It takes a strong person to overlook
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: an offense and not retaligate. It takes maturity to not
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: get into an argument and just ignore them and keep
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: yourself or keep it moving. Some people will try to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: bait you into an argument or into the chaos and drama.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: They love drummer, they love to argue. They'll do things
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: on purpose to try to stir you up. Their mission
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is to get you all riled up. If you give in,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: if you take the bait, you're allowing them to control you.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Those who anger you control you. And the first thing
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they're gonna say, I thought you were a Christian. If
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: they push this button by saving certain things, you get upset.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: If they push that button. By doing certain things, you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: lose your temple. If they push this button or the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: other button, you give in, and then you start to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: compromise who you are. Do yourself a favor. Turn off
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: all those buttons. Don't take the bait. Don't sink down
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to their level the next time that happens. Just smile
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and move forward. Do what today's scripture says, and keep
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: yourself calm. Turn it over to God and let him
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: handle that person. You have a destiny to fulfill. You
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: don't have time to play those games, so don't take
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the bait. Oh Father, God, thank you for your word
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that says You've given us the power to keep calm
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: in the times of adversity. Help us to relearn how
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to respond when someone pushes our buttons. So to speak,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: for a reaction God, we declare that we will not
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: let others stir us up, and we won't allow somebody
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: else to control us. In Jesus' name. Hey, now that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: your word for today. I want you to take that,

• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be encouraged and inspired. It's your early body praise party.
