Love you all, praying for you.
Have you ever seen a beautiful diamond? It doesn’t even have to be the most rare, famous or beautiful one. Have you ever just stared at your wedding ring – or the ring God gave you for your wife? Have you ever found yourself staring at it even five or ten or twenty years later? When you see it like the first time... Every time the light hits it – there’s something new? PRISM is like that – Sometimes after spending days in the same chapter – in Praise the Word – God has me start the same chapter over again – and it’s like a diamond I’ve never seen before. Psalms 119:1 - Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. Fully prosperous – that’s what blessed is. Fully prosperous – in every single way – every last way – absolutely every part of your entire life - prospering completely! That’s what blessed is. Only God can bring that. Only His ways produce that. Fully prosperous are those whose ways (how they walk, how they live their life) are blameless (no blame, no shame) because… (that’s true of them because)... They learn to do that by their walk – being His walk. Their ways becoming His Ways – what He said. And what He told them – is what they do – consistently – and consistent-er – more and more. They walk according to God’s Word because they read it, they speak it, they meditate on it, they commit themselves to it, they rejoice every time they do it, they rejoice every time someone else does it too, they walk with someone, and (a group of someones) closely enough to know and share the victories – even the little ones. It has become their delight. They walk this way because they obey it once, then again… the 1st time and then every time… the first revelation, then the next revelation, then the next. They walk daily with another – that Daily Call – so no sin will ever dull or deceive them (Hebrews 3:13). Verse 2 – Blessed are they who keep His statutes and seek Him with all their heart. Fully prosperous are those who keep (who dwell in, who guard and protect as their priority and preoccupation… who speak forth to meditate on – His principles and desire and search for Him with all their heart. They always keep His Word with them – in their mind, on their tongue (telling God, telling themselves and telling others) so they keep His Word in their heart. It’s what they always talk about, rehearse and review, they are learning to love His thoughts, His heart, His ways. Their love for His Word becomes a love for Him. You can’t love Him without loving His Word, you can’t know Him without knowing his Word, you can’t obey Him (so you’re blameless) without obeying His Word – His Words to everyone, and His Words to you. Praying that God will show you the wonder of His Word – the greatest diamond in the world. Praying the Holy Spirit will shine light every day so you see every new facet, every angle. He will reveal the side you need to see today. His timing is perfect - it's strategic. He has truth for you for today – for what might be coming up in the next few minutes. Praying you’ll come back to PRISM – that the Holy Spirit will increasingly prompt you to come back. Praying that God will show you what PRISM Topic - He wants to soak you in today... so your thoughts become His thoughts, so your ways become His Ways. That’s how you come to know – what fully prosperous really is. Love you all, dad
