• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a Sherry Mackie and his time for today's word Expectancy
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: in the Waiting Season, MM. Expectancy in the Waiting Season
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Psalms forty and one says I waited patiently and expectantly
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: for the Lord, and he inclined to me and heard
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: my crime. Oh that makes me think about Sharon Brown.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I love me some of you, Sharon Brown. You know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: waiting is one of the most challenging seasons we face
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in life. It can feel slow, It can feel uncertain
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and sometimes even discouraging, especially when you know God has
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: placed something big in your heart but you don't see
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: any signs of it happening. See that's where David found himself.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: He had already been anointed in his spirit for greatness.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Deep down, he knew God had a calling on his life,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: yet his daily reality didn't reflect that promise. Instead of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: leading armies or sitting in the palace, David was out
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: in the field tend and the sheep overlooked, unnoticed and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: seemingly far from his destiny. It would have been easy
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for him to grow frustrated, easy to question God, easy
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to lose heart and think, when is my time coming?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But David understood something powerful. Waiting is not wasted when
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it's filled with expectancy. He didn't just wait, He waited expectantly.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: That means he believed something was happening, even when he
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: couldn't see it. He trusted that God was working behind
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the scenes, aligning the right moments, the right people, the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: right opportunities. While he waited. David chose to praise the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Lord when nothing was changing. He praised when he felt overlooked.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Guess what he did. He praised when promises seemed so
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: far away. You know what he did. He praised. He
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: made a decision. I am confident that I will see
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the goodness of the Lord in the land of the Living. See.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: That kind of faith kept his heart strong during the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: waiting season. What David didn't know was that at that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: very moment he was faithfully tending to sheep, Samuel was
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on the way to his house with a horn of oil.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: God had already set things in motion, the opportunity, the promotion,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the moment of elevation. It was closer than David realized.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: And the same is true for you and me. If
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you feel stuck, if you feel overlooked. If you feel
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: like nothing is changing, it doesn't mean God has forgotten you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean your dream isn't going to happen. It
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: may simply mean that God is preparing something behind the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: scenes that you can't see right now. Your waiting season
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is not empty, it's full of purpose. God is developing
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: your character, strengthening your faith, and preparing you for what's ahead.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And at the right time, he will cause everything to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: come together in a way only he can. So don't
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: wait in front. Wait with expectancy, keep believing, keep praising,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: keep trusting, because God is already on the way with
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: what you need. Come on, Jesus, Father, thank you that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: even in seasons of waiting, you're still working on our behalf.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Help us to wait with faith, expectancy, and trust, knowing
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that you're preparing something greater than we can see. Strengthen
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: our hearts God, so that we will not grow discourage,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: but we will continue to praise you at every season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We believe that at the right time, you will bring
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it to pass. In Jesus' name, that's your word for today.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Take it apply to your everyday life, and you continue
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning praise party.
• 3:41
