Daily Huddle - Fri Apr 10, 2020 Can You Hear Me Now?

Love you all, praying for you.
 
I just love how God gives us reminders – exactly when we need it.   I just need to be in the place where I hear His reminders.  His Word is that place.  Praying that PRISM – those five things you can do in God’s Word every day – is your go to, your come back to, your first thing you want to, and the last thing you have to.  Psalms 97:1  The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.  O Praise God!  Over pandemics – He reigns, over economies – He reigns, over nations, He reigns, over powers and authorities in the heavens and the earth and under the earth – He reigns, over your job – He reigns, over your family – He reigns, over your future – He reigns.  And He loves you! And He is Good!  Let the earth be glad…  One of the challenges in God’s Word – God says "be careful how you hear."  How good are you at obeying what God tells you to do?  And how good are you at recognizing when God's talking to you?  When you were a kid, and your Dad came home from work, came in the front door and said, “Could somebody please pick up the bike left in the front yard?”  Most kids will say to themselves – “He must be talking to my brother, or my sisters.”  Or “That’s not my bike, I didn’t leave it there.”  What makes hearing really hearing?  Hearing and doing.  Hearing and applying.  Listening with intention, applying that word spoken to yourself, not somebody else.   Let the earth be glad!  Why because He reigns!  He’s in control,  He’s got this, He loves you, and He is so Good!  I’m “the earth” – He didn’t say my name specifically, but that’s me.  Why wait til the rocks and trees cry out – I’m gonna do that!  If you are faithful to do what He tells the earth to do, if you are faithful to do what He tells others to do, you will be faithful when He tells you.  Let the distant shores rejoice!  I’m a distant shore to somebody – that’s me.  Like Samuel, “Speak Lord, for your servant hears you.”  The one who chooses to come under your authority – hears you.  I will rejoice – right now.  Doesn’t matter if I feel like it or not, doesn’t matter if I’m doing something else or not, or was about to do something else or not.  Sure Dad, I’d be happy to!  He’d probably look at you funny.  Is that your response to God?  Sure Dad, I’d be happy to!  If that becomes your habit, you can know of a surety... your life is about to change.  Obedience with a happy heart, will always attract the blessing of the LORD, the favor of the LORD, the joy of the LORD, and His reward!  Those who hear well - do well.  Those who hear well – always get blessed, they always get answers, they always are favored.  Praying that PRISM is your home base, what you always come back to - so you hear what God wants you to hear.  So you get to the secret place with Him, so you get better at hearing and obeying, and being glad and rejoicing.  Where you get better at knowing God’s heart, and knowing God’s plans, and understanding his ways – and seeing His hand.   Praying that you will be quick to hear, quick to obey, quick to be glad, quick to rejoice, and quick to give a testimony of what He does – so you overcome always, so the things that make others fear, cause you to be thankful and rejoice, to show compassion and love, to trust in His faithfulness, and to see who He is, and what He does.  Praying that you will hear well, so you do well, that you would hear Him now, what He is saying now, in this season, so you an do it, so His favor comes, and you walk in everything He has for you, so you can share with others - the love that He has for them.
 
Love you all,
