Daily Huddle - Fri Mar 13, 2020 Always And Never

Love you all, praying for you,
 
In a recent Daily Huddle – we spoke of two things that always go together.  Humility and Wisdom.  We spoke of commonly associated things, like Batman and Robin, or Laverne and Shirley, or peanut butter and jelly.  A lot of these are easily recognized, but some are not.  Some things must go together – we just don’t realize it.  Psalms 119:93 – I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.  It is God’s precepts which have preserved his life, that’s why David never wants to forget them.  Funny thing about never forget.  It’s one thing you cannot do, or not do.  It just happens or not – based on what else you do.   You cannot take an action to forget – you can only take other actions that occupy you so you eventually forget.   One mention and you haven’t forgotten it anymore.  Equally you cannot take an action to never forget - you can only take an action to always remember.  One mention of what you want to never forget is just in this moment.  You might have forgotten it for weeks, and are just remembering now.  Do you want to be preserved in your life? – always saved, sustained, with flavor added?  Then never forget His precepts – it’s by them that your life is preserved.  His precepts, His Word, His commands to you - your PIVAT for today, and His commands to everyone - your PRISM time in his eternal Word - His principles and practices.  To never forget you must always remember.  That’s the only action you can take – to never forget.  Forget happens automatically and eventually, always remember does not.  Forget will happen – when you least expect it, when you most need it… Always remember will not – unless you do what will have you always remember.  So what should you always do, so you never forget?  David said His life was preserved, saved, sustained, and filled with flavor – because he always remembered God’s precepts – His principles and practices.   Because he read them, and he did them!  Always – every day.  PiVAT before dinner is more important than anything in your life.  Without PiVAT  - you might do PRISM, you might not.  But with PiVAT – you’ll always do PRISM.  God will always tell you the time He has assigned for it.  God's plan for you will always include His Word – the strength, faith, wisdom, encouragement and hope that you need!  PiVAT is a change of direction – from man’s way to God’s Way.  But it’s really a change of ownership – from your plan for you - to God’s plan for you.  If you do – He will tell you the time set aside for His Word – and PRISM will happen! – He will show you those things you need for today!  The Holy Spirit will bring them to mind, so you can always do them, and never forget.  If you don’t know what God has assigned to you, and what time He has assigned it to… you can never do it.  If you're not doing it always - you can't 'never forget.'  Praying that you will get really good at the always remember – the only way to never forget.  That your PiVAT before dinner becomes so clear, that your PRISM - those five things you can do in God's Word - done at the times God tells you – becomes so full of His voice – His direction – His love and His favor - so you never forget, so He can preserve your life every day - saving you, sustaining you, and bringing flavor so you always taste and see - how Good He is and how Good are His plans He can't wait to show you!
 
Love you all,
