Long List

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Have you ever had a todo list – so long you didn’t even know where to start?  It’s when PiVAT before dinner becomes even more important.  If multiple projects and multiple layers are facing you, even PiVAT Projects can bring clarity of the sequence that God has for you.  Not the one that might make sense, or the one that by failing to plan, you’d fall into by default.  Most people think planning is a mental exercise, it’s really a spiritual exercise.  One of listening, and submitting.  It takes faith to believe that God is speaking and you are hearing correctly, and faith to believe that if you follow His lead, it will be the best for you.  Praise God He brings new mercies every morning.  Like the devil brings new distractions and new accusations.  Praise God – His Word is the last Word.  It is so important, whether crazy busy days, or days with margin – to know God’s will for you.  You’ll need to ask Him.  Even if you did PIVAT before dinner last night, confirm with Him throughout the day.  He will reveal step by step what He has for you in the best possible order.  Praying that you will commit your way to the LORD today that you will roll down together with him, and get his plans so they become your plans – each step, each hour.  That you would discern what is best, what He’s called you to, and what He has not… that which is trying to encroach on your time, or emotional energy.  Thinking about things that are not assigned to you right now, is an emotional and physical drain.  But asking God to confirm this step, and doing it with thanksgiving and faith, not only will make this day successful, you will feel God’s peace and joy that comes with it.   Praying that you will commit your way to the LORD – so all your plans will succeed, because they are His plans for you.  Those always succeed.  They are the best, they produce the best, and they feel the best.  Don’t worry about tomorrow, for each day has trouble of its own, just do with joy what God has set before you today.  And let the garment of praise, and the attitude of thanksgiving make your day even better. 
 
Love you all,
