• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am a Sherry Mackie,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word, the power
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of Yet. Habacco three eighteen says, Yet, will I rejoice
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in the Lord? I will be joyful in the God
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of my salvation. You know there's a powerful word that
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: can change the way you face difficult seasons. Yet, the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: prophet Habacco was looking at circumstances that gave him every
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: reason to be discouraged. The crops weren't producing, the fields
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: were empty, the livestock was gone. Everything he depended on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: seemed to be disappearing. Habacco didn't pretend everything was okay.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: He didn't deny the reality of what he was facing,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: but he made a decision that changed everything. He said
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in effect, Yet, will I rejoice in the Lord? In
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: other words, yes this is happening, Yes I'm disappointment. Yes
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I'm in a situation I don't understand. But this will
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: not have the final word in my life. Yet I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: will praise, Yet, I will rejoice. Yet I will trust God.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: See that's what it means to be a yet person.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: A yet person doesn't deny the problem. A yet person
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: simply refuses to let the problem become bigger than the God.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I received a bad report, yet I will trust God.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I experience a painful disappointment, yet I will keep my joice.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Someone treated me unfairly, yet I will walk in integrity.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: The door close, yet I believe God has something better
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in store. I'm waiting longer than I expect it, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: yet I will not give up. I don't understand what's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: going on or what God is doing, yet I know
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: God is still good. See. Your feelings may be real,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but they don't have to be your ruler. You may
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: wake up discourage, yet you can choose gratitude. You may
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: feel overwhelmed, yet you can choose peace. You may be disappointed,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: yet you can choose hope. You may not see a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: way forward, yet you can choose to believe that God
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: is making a way where there seems to be no way.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Sometimes faith is not saying everything is perfect. Sometimes faith
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is saying everything is difficult. Yet I still believe God
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is with me. Your yet is a declaration that your
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: circumstances don't control your attitude. Your problems don't determine your praise.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Your setbacks don't counsel your purpose when you praise God
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in the middle of trouble, You're reminding yourself and the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: enemy that your confidence isn't based on what you see.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Your confidence is based on who God is. So don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: let circumstances still tomorrow's hope. Don't let a temporary situation
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: create a permanent mindset. Add your Yet. When life says
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: give up, say yet, I will keep believing. When fear
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: says it's never going to change, Say yet, I know
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: God can turn it around. When this encouragement says you're finished,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: say yet, God is not finished with me. You are
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a yet person. And as long as you can still
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: say yet, you still have a reason to hope, a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: reason to praise, and a reason to believe. So lift
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: your head up, strengthen your heart, put a praise on
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: your lips. Yet, Will I rejoice yet? Will I trust? Yet?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Will I believe? Because the God who is with you
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in the valley is the same God who will lead
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you into victory. Oh Father God, thank you that you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: are the God of our salvation, our strength, and our hope.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: We acknowledge that some circumstances in life are difficult, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: there are moments when we feel discouraged, disappointed, or overwhelmed.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But today we make a decision to add Yet, no
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: matter what we face, yet we will rejoice. Yet, we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: will trust you, Yet we will praise you. Yet we
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: will believe that You're working behind the scenes for our good,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and we will not allow circumstances to steal our joy
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: or challenges to weaken our faith. Oh, when we don't understand,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we will trust. When we can't see the way, we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: will believe. And when we feel like giving up, we
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: will remember that you are still God and You're still
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in control. We declare that our best days are still ahead,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and our hope is still alive, and our praise will
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: not be silenced. In Jesus' name, that's your word for toad,
