Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. It tells you truth, it shows you success, it bequeaths wisdom, it gives simple steps, and it even gives priority order for those who struggle. I just love that all truth is God’s truth, there is no truth apart from Him. Whatever man has discovered – that proves true, is just our discovery of what God has already said. I Corinthians 13:11 – When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. God makes it clear. There are some things you don’t know yet. I’ve brought you a long way already, but there are still some things you don’t know yet, that you don’t fully understand yet. Then He makes it simple. I Corinthians 13:13 – And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I love how God always brings things to conclusion, ties them all up at the end, and gives us something to run with. Here we go: Top 3 – when it comes down to it. These three remain. Faith. What is faith? Acting like what God says is true. (I thought it was believing?) Of course, and you know what you believe by what you do (James said faith without works is dead – it isn’t faith). Your actions will demonstrate your belief, more than your mouth. (But use your mouth to activate your belief – so you put it into action – that’s why David always committed himself with his mouth. – one of the secrets he learned along the way). Faith. Hope. What is hope? A confident expectation of good. That God will do what He says. Hope is a really important thing. Without hope you can even despair of life. How do you get hope? God said through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures - these bring hope. It’s what they were written for. (Romans 15:4) That’s how Jesus the hope of glory, becomes your hope of glory – It’s Jesus, the Word of God – in you! - Hope. Love. And what is love? Simple. Love is obey. Affection comes with it, yes, but love is obey. Jesus made it un-mistakeably clear? If you love me you will obey what I say. In fact anything you could do to love God, is only obeying what He already commanded, to love Him with all your heart, all your might, and all your soul. Obey in what you do, what you think and what you spend. So if God says it comes down to these three? Faith, Hope and Love. What are you doing to increase in these three? Like the 80/20 rule that every successful business person has learned. How much of your effort and attention is spent on these three most important things that bring the greatest result, and the greatest return? Praying that your faith grows this week. (How do you increase faith? Pray in the spirit, and soak in His Word – it will build you up in faith, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God). PRISM will bring you to more faith, and PIVAT will have you walking it out (that change of direction to God's way - from yours...) It works - God said. Praying that your hope grows this week. How do you get hope? Through endurance of obedience, and the encouragement of the scriptures. (PiVAT – He’ll tell you what to do… just keep doing it – He’ll even give you grace for it). And PRISM will bring encouragement throughout the day – by His Word. Praying that your love grows this week. And How do you increase love? You grow in obedience, by hearing, obeying, and overcoming. PiVAT will help you hear and obey, PRISM will confirm what He said, and help you understand how He wants you to do it. And your testimony – your Daily Call – will help you overcome so you can endure. That’s how your faith grows, your hope grows and your love grows. It will make you more like Him, it will make you significant, not just successful, it’ll make you fruitful, Those top three – God told us what they are – so we can grow in them. Praying His Top 3 are yours also. Love you all, dad
