Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nobody, and I do mean nobody does it like your

(00:04):
early body praise party. I am Sherry Mackett. It's time
right now. Four Today's word, your gift of today. Psalms
ninety and ten says seventy years are given to us.
Some even lived to eighty. But even the best years
are filled with pain and trouble. Soon they disappear and

(00:27):
we fly away. You know, when we come to the
end of our days, God is going to ask us,
what did you do with the time I gave you?
Did you develop your gifts and talents? Did you accomplish
your assignments? How did you spend your life? It's not

(00:48):
going to work to make excuses for why we did
not redeem the time. God, see what had happened, wouls.
My friend did this, my coworker did that, my husband,
my wife, the dog gave my homework, My mama did this.
See God, you you don't understand. I was mad and
I was better because somebody did me wrong. God. I

(01:11):
was negative because I got fired from my job. No,
you won't be able to blame anyone or anything else,
because guess what you are responsible for, you and what
you do with your life. You have choices every single day.

(01:34):
You have a responsibility to live your life well. So
make the decision that you're going to be on person,
on purposed person. So make the decision that you're going
to be an onpurpose person. Set your goals and be

(01:56):
disciplined to stick with it. Cut off the relationships that
are not adding to your life, and don't go to
bed with any kind of defeat, any kind of bitterness,
any kind of anger or negativity still in your heart
or in your mind. Realize that every day is a

(02:17):
gift from God. Make sure you're investing your time and
not wasting your time. If you do this, the seeds
of greatness that God is already placed on the inside
of you are gonna take root, and they're gonna flourish.
You're gonna see God's abundant favor in your life. So

(02:38):
be a good steward over your gift of today. Father God,
thank you for giving us the gift of this day
to live it to the full. Thank you that you're
calling us to invest our lives in what's best for us,
to redeem the time to run our lives with purple

(03:00):
on purpose. Help us to make the most of every
opportunity that you present to us in Jesus' name. Hey,
now that's your word for today. I want you to
take it apply to your everyday life and you continue
to be encouraged and inspired. It is your Early Boddy
Praise Party. I am Sherry Mackey.
