Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – and that’s why I’m so thankful for PRISM – a practical way to soak in God’s Word daily, so all that God wants to tell you – you can receive it, and understand it. God’s Word is for changing you, growing you, purifying you, enhancing you, increasing you in wisdom and knowledge and understanding. Think of God’s promise about His Word – it will never return void. It will never come back with nothing. No matter how many times you come to His Word – which is coming to Him, making Him your refuge, no matter how short or how long of a time you spend in it… It will never not yield a good result. So the more time you spend in God’s Word – the more of Him you get! The more good, the more power, the more wisdom, the more favor, the more success, the more peace, the more joy you get. You need to get you some. And get you some more! I just love the practical of God’s Word – and the secret weapon to using it effectively… not reading and thinking, but asking and receiving. Jesus said the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth! And God's Word is truth. That’s why PRISM by the Holy Spirit – rather than by your opinion is the difference between a chainsaw that’s off and a chainsaw that’s turned on. And it's a matter of simply asking - before you begin. Praying that you will do PRISM by asking the Holy Spirit – and letting Him unfold God’s Word. That you would do PRISM with your spirit, not your mind. So the Holy Spirit can transform your mind with God’s Word. I just love how practical Psalms is. Psalm 138 – I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart: before the gods I will sing your praise. It’s so helpful to see David’s example. Once again, as always, David is telling himself what he will do – committing himself with His mouth. I will – praise you. But then he says with all my heart. That means – not only with all his effort and energy and might, like when he danced before the LORD – not caring who was looking or what anybody else thought of him… But with all my heart – all in - completely, exclusively - nothing saved for anything else. He praised God and nothing else. Every part of his heart, nothing held back, no small part reserved for the praise or honor of something else, another thing, another pursuit different than the praise of God and what brings Him praise. David's heart was complete - He was all in. God told the Israelites of that unfaithful generation. You praise me with your lips, but your hearts are far from me. That means they praised him at church on Sunday, but they didn’t obey him at home or work on Monday. David says I will praise you with all of my heart, mind, soul and strength, and I will also give you my whole heart in obedience. Whole-hearted praise is whole hearted obedience. Nothing withheld, nothing reserved for something else apart from God’s Word, God’s will and God’s Ways. David's heart to praise and obey was like jumping off a cliff - all in - no turning back now... Praying that your PRISM today – will show you and grow you in His Ways, His truth, and His life! and PiVAT today will show you his way for you – today. That your Daily Call - will guarantee your overcoming! That your praising and obeying will be all in - with all your heart - that you will obey whatever He says today, and take joy in the little step He tells you to take, so when the big steps come, they are debate-less, it’s just a continuation of your heart that’s fully committed to Him - to praise Him and obey Him. There’s nothing like it. You can’t imagine a better life than that! Love you all, dad
