  Speaker 1: Sherry Mackie at its time, right now for today's word

  Speaker 1: faithful in the waiting Proverbs twenty eight twenty says a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: faithful person will be richly blessed. You know, sometimes the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: hardest season isn't the season of struggle, is the season
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of waiting. You know there's more inside of you. You
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: know God has placed gifts, dreams, talents, and potential within you. You
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: can sense that your call to something greater, but your
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: current circumstances don't seem to match what you see on
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the inside. You may find yourself asking God, when is
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it going to be my turn? But don't despise the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ordinary days. David was anointed by the prophet Samuel to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: become the future king of Israel. You would think that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: after receiving such a powerful promise, David would immediately move
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: into the palace and sit on the throne. But that's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: not what happened. After David was anointed, he went right
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: back to the shepherd's field. He went from being anointed
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for a throne to watching sheeps. See It's probably didn't
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: feel like progress, it didn't look like destiny. It didn't
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: look like anything. It just looked ordinary. But David didn't complain.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: He didn't say I'm too important for this sheep. Work now.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: He didn't stop working because nobody was watching. He didn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: become bitter because someone else was sitting on the throne.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He had been promised. David was faithful in the field.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus. He protected the sheep, he served the sheep.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: He developed courage, he learned how to fight. He worshiped God,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and in those quiet, unseen years, God was preparing him
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for the public assignment that was coming. David's ordinary days
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: were actually his preparation days. The same may be true
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for you and me. Maybe you're doing something right now
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that feels beneath your potential. Maybe you're in a job
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that doesn't fully use your gifts. Maybe you're serving behind
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the scenes while someone else gets the recognition. Maybe you're
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: faithfully handling responsibility. Does that seem small and insignificant? Don't
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you become discouraged? God sees you. He sees the work
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: nobody applies. He sees as sacrifices nobody recognizes. He sees
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you showing up when you don't feel like it. He
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: sees you choosing integrity when compromise would be easier. He
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: sees you keeping a good attitude when life hasn't gone
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the way you planned. Your current location does not cancel
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: your future. Your naughty will eventually take you where your
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: present circumstances cannot. But before God puts you in the foreground,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: he often watches how you handle the background because extraordinary
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: opportunities are usually built on ordinary faithfulness. The Bible says
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a faithful person will be ritually blessed. So be faithful today,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Be excellent today, Serve with joy today, give your best today,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Love people today, take care of what God has placed
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in your hands. Today. You may feel like you're stuck
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the shepherd's field, but God may be using this
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: very season to prepare you for the throne. Come on, Jesus,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: one day David went from ten day sheep to leading
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a dation, And when your a point of time comes,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: God knows how to move you from the background to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the foreground. The ordinary days are not wasted day's, they
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: are preparation days for exceptional days. So keep going, keep growing,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and keep being faithful. Your throne may be closer than
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you think. Father, Thank you for every season of our lives,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: including the ordinary days when we feel unseen, overlooked, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as though we're not making progress. Help us to remember
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that you're always working behind the scenes, preparing us for
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: everything you called us to do. Give us a grace
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to be faithful in the routine, excellent in the small things,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and joyful even when no one's watching. Keep us from
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: becoming discouraged because of our current circumstances don't look like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: our future. God, we trust that your timing is perfect,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and we believe that every faithful step we take is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: preparing us for exceptional things ahead. In Jesus' name, Amen,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that's your word for today's take and applied to your
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged at and inspired.
