Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – it always gives truth and life and encouragement and challenge and instruction – every time you open it up. Praying that PRISM is still your priority, that His Presence is still your longing, and that PiVAT before dinner is the path that you take – so His plans are your plans. Have you ever walked with someone for a while, maybe a journey – maybe a walk around a lake or a walking path? Have you even been to a ball game – where the closer you get to the stadium the closer you are walking with people? Thousands of them – on the same road right next to each other, but not walking together? You don’t know them, you can’t say Hi to everybody so you just keep walking. But you are not together, you’re just next to each other – until you get to the turn styles, get your tickets ripped in half, and go different directions to your seats – never to see them again. Thousands of people shuffling in the same direction... Just because you are walking next to someone – doesn’t mean you’re walking with them. One of the amazing verses of Scripture, Genesis 5:24 – And Enoch walked with God, and was no more, because God took him. Think about that – the chapter listing generations of people who lived and died and their children who lived and then died, but this one verse in between about a man who was different. He walked with God – and was no more. We know that Enoch’s story isn’t over, he’ll be back near the end of the chapter – eternity is the book which never ends. But Enoch didn’t just walk, or walk next to God, he wasn’t just aware of Him, he was intimate with Him, in closest relationship to Him. He walked where God walked, he caught up with Him, he stayed near Him, he didn’t want to walk with anyone else. And he was no more. Crazy sentence. But that’s what always happens when you walk with God – you are no more. The old you disappears, it's removed, replaced, upgraded, transformed, changed completely! What you used to say, what you used to do, what you used to think and how you used to believe – is no more - it disappears in the light of His light. That relationship with Him, that walk with Him just changes you. So how do you walk with God? Do you go to Him? Do you seek His presence? Do you walk where He walks? If you desire his company you go where He is. Some people don’t walk with God, because they are not going where He is going. They are not doing what He does, or what He told them. If they did, they would walk with Him, but they don’t even think about it. His Presence is choosing to walk with Him, His plans through PiVAT help you walk in the path He is walking with you! PRISM – is that conversation with Him, where you hear His heart, and learn to know His thoughts towards you and for you. Your Daily Call is where you overcome by your testimony! It's how you resist walking with someone else instead – on their path which leads to death. It's how you learn to stay on His path – so you walk with Him. That’s how you are no more. The old you isn’t there anymore – it’s the Him in you – that becomes the new you. His love becomes your love, His strength becomes your strength, His wisdom becomes your wisdom, and His will becomes your will, and His joy becomes your joy. It makes you unrecognizable from the old you. The other thing about people who walk together – they are in constant conversation. Praying that you will be on His path for you – the path that He’s on with you. Praying that you will always be talking with Him, so you are no more, so what remains is Him in you, walking constantly with Him and His plans for your good! So the old you disappears, and the new you remains! Love you all, dad
