Love you all, praying for you.
One skill I’ve developed over time – I notice shortfalls easily in others, much harder in myself. Maybe it’s just because I’m always looking out, not in. Especially with those Israelites – those guys! The Bible records their repeated disobedience time after time, very easy to see in those pages – less easy to see in me – when I do similar things – just the current version. Psalms 106:19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshipped an idol cast from metal. They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull that eats grass. How aptly spoken. What utter stupidity, to worship as God something you made with your own hands. It’s less than you are! and you're powerless! How could it possibly deserve the worship which belongs alone to the Almighty? I would never do that! Make something myself and worship it, follow it, let it control me, obey it – Like God is supposed to be obeyed… Hmm God is to be worshipped, just like God is to be obeyed. You can’t do one without the other. I would never worship another – of my own making – like a bull that eats grass, but I can often obey something of my own making – self made plans, rather than God’s plans for me. Following (or obeying) the plans I have created is not that much different than worshiping an image I created. They're both worthless - both are a bull that eats grass. Both exchange their Glory – for something of their own making. Praying that PiVAT before dinner is your never miss habit. That you will resist the temptation to just make your own plans – and obey them, rather than seeking God’s plans - and obey Him. God calls this our reasonable act of worship - Romans 12:1. What plans we obey - God calls worship - presenting our bodies (what we do) to His plans – not anything of our own making – made with human hands. Praying that if dinner snuck up on you – and you forgot to spend that time with Him, that you would do PiVAT before bed tonight. Maybe just take a break right now… And seek Him – not only will He download His plans for your success tomorrow – As you write down the Testimony of Him in you – Your Glory – the One you worship and obey – you will remember and never forget so you obey, not rebel, so you grow and not lose heart or lose your way. And if PRISM was a little scarce today. just a hectic day... He’s still waiting – you don’t need to do hours more – but every part of PRISM that you come back to – gives Him the opportunity that He has been waiting for – to pour out His love for you! To give you understanding into the plans He has for your good! Love you all, dad
