Tied To

Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word – It is the ultimate reminder.  It refreshes our memory of what He said, and what will happen if we do it.  Proverbs 6:21  Bind them on your heart forever fasten them around your neck.  When you walk they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake they will speak to you.  For these commands are a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life.   God says there are some things you should tie to yourself, that you should never leave home without, that you should keep so close that the become part of you.  Your success depends on your attachment to His Word.  It’s really what has it done for you lately.  The past can affect your future but it doesn’t restrict it.  You can turn today, you can be established today.  Just because you did well in the past, doesn’t guarantee you’ll continue.  It is of huge advantage, but not a guarantee.  And just because you failed in the past, doesn’t condemn your future.  What you do now – determines what you will eat next.  Planting and Harvest, the words of your mouth, become the actions of your hands, and the life that becomes yours.  His Word should be on your tongue all day long, so it stays firmly in your heart.  So you go to bed soaking in it, and wake up with it as the first thing on your mind.  So you go through your day guided by it, and in doing so, protected from mental, and truth-less distractions that dilute and destroy your effectiveness, and delay or delete your destiny.   God gives us reminders.  Bind His Word on your heart forever.  Wear it around your neck.  Walk with it on your lips, go to bed with it, so you wake up with it.  Let His Word define you and guide you and establish you.  Praying that you will keep doing PRISM Every Day – keep coming back to it in your down times or transition times, those five things you can do in God’s Word.  It’s an acquired taste, you’ll grow to love it, and those who love it will eat its fruit.  Let your words, be God’s Word.  Next ask God what PRISM Topic – He wants you to take with you, and soak in, and chew on today.  The power of God’s Word on a single subject.  It will give you wisdom, it will change your mindset, it is built in Godly counsel.  So that as you transform your mind, by His Word, you will have something worthwhile to say.  Not foolishness, but wisdom will come out of your mouth, that will establish you, and bring success to others.  Have you ever had a friend, who was just solid, that gave good counsel, whose life was a demonstration of the power and blessing of God?  That’s who God wants you to be.  It’s not just for you, it’s for others who are watching you.  So God gets the glory, so people around you are drawn to Him and the good that He has for them, and so you walk in every good thing that He has ordained and reserved and stored up for you!   Someone told a story of a man who went to heaven, and saw shelves and shelves of beautifully wrapped gifts.  What are these? He asked.  “What God had for you, that you never got to.”  That story is not in the Bible, but it is an invitation to leave nothing on the table, to not leave anything God has for you unopened.  Praying that His Word which is the key to the warehouse of His blessing, will be what you always have in your hand and in your mouth.  So you will walk in what He has for you - every last thing. It’s good!   Have you ever spent time PRISM time with God in His Word – and what He revealed was so timely, so powerful, and so practical.  And the thought crossed your mind…  “Wow, if I had been too busy today – if I didn’t make the choice to spend this time in His Word today - I would have never have gotten this!”  What does God want to show you today that you need for today?  Praying that you’ll never miss it!
 
Love you all,
