Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – it is so practical. It’s truth will change your entire outlook, your entire perspective. It’s life changing! It’s when your perspective changes that your life changes, not just when your circumstances change. It’s heart and mind change - that are the real change. That’s why PRISM is so important – It’s truth for life! When God says He is the Solid Rock, the Sure Foundation, He is speaking of a sure thing, a done deal, an immovable reality, an unchanging truth. Psalms 131:1-3 – My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore. I just love God’s Word – It deals with the past, the present and the future. And all are sure things in Him. David as usual is telling himself what He will do. Reminding Himself of God’s truth and His fitting response. Not only does it remind him, it commits him, his thoughts and his ways. He is telling himself – my mind will and emotions are not mounted up with pride, my eyes are not presumptuous, seeing or considering myself as higher than I ought. Nor do I exercise myself (either labor or exert my body, or labor or exert my mind) in great matters (either prideful things, or making things beyond my control – things that are in God’s hand – bigger or larger in my mind than what God is calling me to be concerned with.) But I have stilled, leveled, equalized, adjusted, counterbalanced my mind, will and emotions – I’ve composed myself, quieted myself – stopped mental striving, ceased. I choose to forbear, to hold my peace, to rest, be silent, stand still, wait… like a child who has accepted the reality that they are weaned from their mother. Accustomed now – to not getting what they used to be frantic about. Instead – I am onto the next stage that God has given me in life. The next thing He has put my hand to. Let Israel (not just anybody) let those (where He rules as God) put their hope in the LORD. Not a possibility, a feeble potential, but a sure thing. The LORD – the Supreme in authority! The One who has all knowledge and all power, who is unmatched and unstoppable, and whose plans for you are Good! Let those who let Him rule as God – wait patiently in full trust and confidence both now and forever more. Fully trusting, resting, and confident in His power - for what they are facing right now, and for anything they will ever face til the day they die. What could try to unsettle you? frustrate or fluster you? Praying that you will take this opportunity to still your mind and soul, so nothing rattles you or shakes you, moves you or sways you, or even concerns you – only this next step of obedience that He has for you in his hour. Ask Him, He'll tell you. Praying that you would do it fully, completely, with all your heart – and joyfully. Praying that you would learn like David, to still yourself. This happens in PRISM – by His Word – where you see His power... Praying that you would know His plans for you in PIVAT, and be about them right now. That you would give an account of His resources every day so money is always a testimony, not a trial - that it's even laughable. Praying that you would overcome in your Daily Call - through the power of your testimony of Him... That you would still and quiet your soul, trusting fully in His control, just obeying in this hour, so your joy overflows! Love you all, dad
