Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. Many people read it through in a year – about four chapters a day will do it. Or a two-year plan at about two chapters a day. It helps you walk in who Jesus really is – your Daily Bread. Because Jesus is God’s Word in human form. Having died in your place, God raised him to the highest place. He is enthroned forever, and advocating for you right now on your behalf before God the Father in Heaven. Praise God! Cause you need it! So do I… If you want to get closer to Jesus, if you want to know Him better - get closer to His Word. He is the Word! A One or Two Year Bible plan can be a great idea as a part of your R:Read The Word of PRISM – those five things you can do in God’s Word every day. Or just come back to where you left off and read either four or two chapters if you want to finish in two years or a year. This is steady plodding and it always brings a reward. Do what God tells you to do – be consistent in it because God told you to do it. It’s far better to do what it says, than to read the Bible through in a year. God’s yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Just do what He tells you and keep at it because He told you, not because you feel guilty. Even guilt ridden reading will reap a harvest because His Word always does. But don’t get caught up in the religion of it. This is a relationship! Not a religion, if you’re not walking in freedom and joy – ask Him if He wants you to adjust your expectations – they might not be His… Another thing – it’s also a really good idea sometimes - to get an infusion. April went through a season a couple of years ago where she felt tired and drained. A visit to the doctor revealed that she had an iron shortage – and the remedy prescribed was an iron infusion. Basically an overdose, to get her back to normal. It helped greatly! A PRISM Topic – The power of God’s Word on a single subject is for when your strength, discernment, wisdom, faith or joy is a little depleted. Or when you are facing something in your life – that requires supernatural wisdom or strength – not just the natural kind. You must learn to think like God thinks – so He can bring you to the success He wants to give you, that natural wisdom is insufficient to attain. A PRISM Topic, Relationship Topic – a perspective from God’s Word on relationships, or PRISM Topic Packet – a grouping of related PRISM and Relationship Topics - is that ‘iron infusion’ of God’s Word. It’s that PRISM M: Meditate on God’s Word – that will give you an overdose of truth, wisdom and insight – for what you are going through right now! It’s why He told us to meditate on His Word, not just read it… It’s an overdose, an infusion. Beyond just a meal for the day - an overdose of God’s truth to change how you think about an area of life that you are in the middle of. It’s so you can apply God’s truth in this area – so He can make you successful in it. If you read through the Bible this year, you will get to these verses eventually, but it will take you a while, and by then this situation will have passed. You will either have responded with God’s wisdom and enjoyed it’s result – or you will have struggled through with man’s wisdom – and suffered that result. What if you had God’s wisdom for this season of your life, or situation you now face. Not just one verse, but several verses or more – to get a better idea of how God views this – what He thinks about it, and the wisdom and instruction He gives regarding it. It will always be very different than what people would naturally think. An overdose of God’s truth in an area will change your mind, change your words, your reaction and response, and it will change the result. Praying that God will lead you each day to the PRISM Topic – He has for you today. That overdose for today – to meditate on. Just read it through a few times today, speak it and pray it over yourself. Here’s the secret. Some of your PRISM time (those five things) is for a sit-down session. Where you chose to set time aside – to give to God and His Word – giving Him your full attention at the time He assigned during PiVAT before dinner last night. But the M:Meditate on the WORD part – that PRISM Topic that God wants you to take with you today is for in-between-times. Maybe Life Purpose and Direction, or Listen, or Kindness, or Forgive, or Joy… that Meditate on the Word piece – is for throughout the day. Transition times, a constant “coming back to” in His Word. You’d be shocked at how much down time you have available - stuck in traffic, waiting on the next appointment. If you only have 30 seconds to three minutes. That PRISM Topic for today - coming back to His Word – being reminded of what God says about this area of life – will grow so deeply ingrained in you – that you will begin to operate in God’s wisdom as your first reaction when those moments of truth sneak up on you. It’s because you have put His Word in your heart. Praying that you will ask God what PRISM Topic He wants you to infuse today... So His Success becomes your habit. Love you all, dad
