Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – it is so practical! If you believe it and do it you will change your life forever. The best way to change your life forever, is to change it daily. What’s the change? PiVAT is the change – a change of direction from man’s way (the way that seems right), to God’s way (the way that is right, and brings right). PRISM is PiVAT for your mind – the transforming of it, so you think like God thinks. Praying that PiVAT before dinner and PRISM throughout the day is like breathing for you. That it becomes so a part of your DNA – that you'd never life without it. That it's not an internal debate or decision anymore, but just habit... That God’s Word to you in PiVAT, and God’s Word to you in PRISM – is what you live by. Without it, all you have is your word to you – on what to do, and how to think. As a man thinketh in his heart – so is he. Praying that God uses PRISM every day to change how you think, so you think like Him – that’s how you become like Him… Praying that God uses PiVAT every day to change what you do, so you do what He does – and what He wants you to do, not what you would do, because you don’t know what He wants for you, or because you just want to… I love God’s Word – it gives secrets. Proverbs 25:2 – It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. Have you ever faced some things all at once, maybe setbacks or challenges, or decisions, or maybe just a really full plate? God says it’s His glory to conceal a matter, it’s your glory to search it out. (But I’m not a king... In God’s Kingdom you are – He has made us to be kings and priests unto our God. Priests who hear God, and Kings who execute what He said, for the good of His people. First, what is glory? Glory – brightness, splendor, flower, flourish. The glory of God means brightness, splendor – a full view of His excellent greatness. What’s your glory? It's what makes you look good - it's what makes you shine... searching out the matters He has hidden for His glory. It’s what makes you reflect His splendor (great brightness, brilliant luster, as the splendor of the sun. Great show of richness and elegance, magnificence, pomp, a parade – on full display) - splendor. It’s what makes you flourish (to expand, enlarge or shoot out, to thrive, to grow luxuriantly, to be prosperous, to increase in wealth and honor) - flourish. What if you looked good, and flourished, what if you prospered? What if you increased in wealth and honor? What would life look like. That’s the life God has for you. You get there by simply hearing, and obeying, and searching out. It requires those PiVAT and PRISM habits to get His will, and get His mind, and due diligence. God says it’s your glory to search out the matters He has hidden for His glory and yours. So what’s searching out a matter? Some fruit is available on the ground - it fell off the tree, but the best fruit is often still up in the tree - it requires a climb. (To search it out) Is there anything in your life right now – requiring decisions or a response – that could gain from true wisdom? Is there any due diligence required of you? Not just for a major life direction - but just directions for the life you are living - to walk in the fullness He has for you? God says it’s the glory of kings to search it out. Sometimes to flourish – requires due diligence on your part in searching some things out. God's wisdom is waiting, His knowledge and understanding is waiting - hidden to be discovered. #1) Ask God for Wisdom, even how to search it out. He will give it. He promised. James 1:5. #2) Search His Word for it – His wisdom for this thing - is there for the finding. #3) Research. Put in the effort – find out what’s known about this challenge, effort or endeavor. You’re probably not the first one who’s faced it. What is the known body of knowledge regarding this? And #4) Seek Counsel – not just expert counsel but Godly counsel. Some experts aren't Christians, but the best counsel comes from experts who are. Car repairs and heart surgery don’t require a Christian as much as a good car mechanic, or heart surgeon. Get Godly counsel and expert counsel - ideally both in the same person... and get a multitude of counsel - God says to wage war you need guidance. Many counselors bring success. And don't forget God’s wisdom is different than man’s wisdom. So how do you search out a matter - the glory of kings? Ask God? Study His Word? Due Diligence in your research, and Expert and Godly Counsel. This whole situation that you face - might be or look different than you think. Praying that PiVAT will be consistent for you. Before you eat dinner, know His plan for you tomorrow – so you can search out the matters He directs you at the best time He has assigned for it. You want God to direct – even your due diligence. Just like the woman who lost the coin – He knows what you should search for, and where you should search to find what He has concealed for His glory and yours – so you flourish! Thrive! Increase! Praying that You’ll ask God for wisdom – what and where to search and find. Praying that PRISM – will add to your understanding. It always will if you choose it. God’s Word - that’s the “getting of wisdom” that God recommends above all else. Praying that each day and each evening, you will always come back to God, His will, His Word, His Praise and His Presence. That’s where He reveals the best thing for you, in His perfect time. And praying that you will search out the matters He directs you to. What if you had wisdom? What if you knew right now the right things to do, the right thing first, and the best sequence that will yield the greatest result? God has it waiting. Whoever asks receives, whoever seeks finds, whoever knocks the door will be opened. Praying that you would take joy in the searching it out, so you can be amazed by the wonder that He reveals. Love you all, dad
