Friday's

Love you all, praying for you. 
 
Friday’s are good days.  Even if you have to work the weekend, there’s just something about Friday’s that make you feel good.  You start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Have you ever noticed, Friday’s are like a Skyline 3-Way?  Next time you’re in Cincinnati, you need to get one.  Just like you are three things – A father, a son, and a husband, or a mother, a daughter, and a wife...  Fridays are the last day of the week, the first day of the weekend, and the prelude to the coming week.  Fridays are a great time to take inventory, to go back to PiVAT Weekly – and be sure that everything that God told you to do this week, you finished with excellence, full obedience, and joy.  Even if you didn’t do PiVAT Weekly this week, technically the week isn’t over until Monday starts.  You can still do PiVAT Weekly even if it’s Friday, it’s not over til it’s over.  Better late than never, God can make up for lost time. God can do in a day, what you couldn’t do in a week, and you definitely don’t want to miss what He had for you this week!  And if nothing else, get one more rep in, before Getting God’s plans for you through PiVAT Weekly for next week.  Vision is so important.  Without it, you perish, you cast off restraint. (Pr 29:18)  With vision – you get to things ahead, and you leave other things behind, that are worthless and useless, because you are fully focused on God’s best.  Vision sees the future, and moves you towards it.  Vision is a great sin-repellent.  The best way to avoid sin is to be fully engaged in what God has for you.  Not only what God has for you today, but you'll start to see in your mind what is yet to come.  If you are moving towards God’s vision for you, you are moving away from every other thing that would prevent it or keep you from it.   You just don’t have time for distractions, delays, wrong turns, fruitless pursuits, you’re too busy obeying!  You’ve got places to go, and people to see, you have Good things just waiting for you, and you can’t wait to get there.  Sin is always a vision killer.  It keeps you from it, because it keeps your mind from even considering it.  Sin isn’t just bad things, sin is anything less than His Thing for you.  Sin is like the alligator trying to eat you.  Don’t just keep trying to slowly back away, you’re still in range of it’s teeth.  Sometimes you have to get in the car and drive away.  Sometimes you have to leave Florida, and get to Alaska – and your alligator problem will be over.  Some things you need to leave behind, to get to the things ahead.  God’s vision for you – is not just hope for the future, it’s the first step for right now.  Praying that you will revisit PiVAT Weekly, that you will fully finish God’s vision for you this week, and fully know His vision for next week, so you walk in everything He has for you.  It’s really good.  Better than you think.  There’s nothing else like it!
