Today's Word 01-29-26 Refueled, Restored, Renewed · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: At your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: at his time right now for today's word refuged, restored, renewed,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Mark six point thirty one says, then Jesus said, let's
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Awhile he said this because there were so many people
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: have time to eat. You know, we live in a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: culture that celebrates being busy. They celebrate being exhausted, they
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: celebrate being overcommitted. Somewhere along the way, rest became a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: luxury instead of a necessity. But Jesus shows us something
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: powerful in this verse. He didn't just value rest, He
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: commanded it. Even while healing, even while teaching, even while
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: changing the world, he paused and said, let's get away,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: let's be refreshed. You are created as a three part
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: being spiritual, physical, and emotional. When one part is neglected,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the others suffer. You can pray faithful, as you can work,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: worship deeply, and you can believe God for breakthroughs. But
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: if your body is worn down, if your emotions are drained,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and if your mind is overwhelmed, you won't be able
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to enjoy the fullness of what God has for you.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You can't live on empty and expect to run with strength.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You can't ignore rest and still stay passionate. You can't
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: pour into everyone else without ever letting God pour into you. Hello, somebody.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Some people are discouraged. Some people are tired. Some people
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: are lacking joy, not because they lack faith, but because
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: they lack balance. They're praying for miracles yet ignoring the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: wisdom God already gave them. Slow down, rest, take care
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of yourself. Jesus didn't say try harder. He didn't say
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: work hard or work longer. He said come away and rest.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Living balanced doesn't mean living selfish. It means living wisely.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It means giving your spirit time with God, your body
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: proper rest and nourishment, and your emotion space to breathe
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and reset. When you do that, you become stronger, You
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: become clearer, and you become more effective. Balance doesn't make
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: you weaker, It makes you sustainable. It doesn't slow your purpose,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It protects it. God is not impressed by burnout. He
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: desires your wholeness. When you care for every part of yourself,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you honor the life He entrusted to you, and when
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you live balanced, you will walk in greater peace, greater energy,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and greater purpose. You were not created to merely survive.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You were created to thrive. Oh Father God, thank you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for reminding us that rest is holy and that balance
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is wisdom. Thank you for our body, thank you for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: our mind, thank you for our spirit, and thank you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for teaching us how to care for each one. Help
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: us to slow down when we need to, and to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: rest when we're tired, and to live in the fall
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that you design for us. God, we choose balance, we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: choose peace, and we choose life in Jesus' name. Hey,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that's your word for today. Take it. You be refuged, restored,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and renewed. It's your early morning praise party. I am
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Sherry Mackie.
