Love you all, praying for you.
That’s an odd word – latent: It means hidden, concealed, not noticed or realized at the start. Something under the surface now that will be revealed later. Often we consider latent things negative – like latent motives or malice. But often they are benefits that we didn’t realize. We bought a car once that actually was a flex fuel vehicle, a feature we weren't aware of. A benefit we didn’t even know existed. God reminded me of a latent benefit of one the most important relationships in your life - Your Daily Call. It's built-in Godly counsel! God said in Hebrews 3:13 – Exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. While God says do not add to His word, or take away from it, it’s always good to ask the Holy Spirit to paraphrase for you – to help you gain understanding. One another – one person exhort another person – while you have the chance. While the window is still open – as long as it’s called today. That Daily Call – God’s instruction, His principle, and command for your overcoming - is important to do today! While you have the chance. If you are between Daily Call Partners – praying that you will ask God when to do your next 3-Day-Challenge with someone. Maybe even 30 days, or for whatever season God has ordained. There are far more blessings that come from obeying God’s Command than meet the eye on the surface. One latent benefit of Daily Calls was brought to my attention again this morning. After our 15 minute Daily Call was finished (extremely encouraging!) I asked Justin if he had another minute for some counsel. I shared briefly a series of decisions I was facing, and their inter-connect-ability – as decisions have repercussions as well as consequence. And the counsel he gave was spot on. Like God was speaking to me. (because He was). In fact, I was surprised that I didn’t think of that myself – because it’s something that I believe, but had just lost in the shuffle. There’s nothing like the counsel of obeyers. Your Daily Call Partner is growing with you daily – walking in the Spirit - in the Word of God through PRISM, and the Obedience of God through PiVAT and this Daily Call – so any time you obey the LORD’s command in Hebrews 3:13 – and if you use a Daily Call to help you do that – not only will you learn to be an overcomer, the wisdom of your counsel will grow. The silly foolishness that you used to believe or say – gets removed. and replaced by His Word, your obedience, and your testimony – and His wisdom begins to take up residence in you. This is of great benefit not only to you and your family but for others as well. Praying that you will seek counsel, like the wise do, and that your time in PiVAT before dinner, PRISM throughout the day, and your Daily Call – the victory that God has for you is enlarged with that latent benefit of sharing and receiving counsel – wisdom from God for you and through you for others. So all of us can grow into the likeness of Jesus – the Word of God – the source of all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. It’s how you walk in all the Good that God has stored up for you. Love you all, dad
