Daily Huddle - Mon Jul 13, 2020 A Clear Sign

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Have you ever wished that God spoke this clearly?  In Neon - "This is the sign you’ve been looking for."  Sometimes I wish God would just tell me what I want to know, right now.  That He’d just give me the answer right now - the direction, the explanation, the understanding – so that it will finally all make sense.  So I don’t need to use faith this time, but just have what I am looking for.  I don’t want to wait, I just want to know right now.  Whether I’m asking why? or asking what? or asking when? – even if it’s not His chosen time to reveal it – I just want to know now – so I can get on to the next thing.  Sometimes God gives answers the moment we ask.  Sometimes in the middle of my asking Him, the Holy Spirit reveals the answer in my spirit – before I even finished the question - like He was standing right there.  Many times I’ve asked God something – even in PiVAT before dinner, and the very next morning in my PRISM time with Him - He gives me the answer that I needed.  It’s happens all the time.  But sometimes God’s answers are not in our timing.  Abram, leave your country and go to a place that I will show you.  Sure, God, where’re we going?  Just go, and I’ll tell you.  But I would feel better if you could just tell me up front – so I can get on to the next thing…  What’s stopping you?  God says, Call on me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things that you do not know.  He said if we lack wisdom we can ask of God, who will give it abundantly without finding the fault in us.   Have you ever not received an answer yet that you want right now?  What do you do then?  You can ask harder – but God’s answers aren’t in the asking harder.  He already knows the answer, He knows you're asking, He hears you, and He knows the best time to reveal it - for your best good - the good that He has waiting for you.   God says everyone who asks receives, everyone who seeks finds, and everyone who knocks the door will be open.  He just doesn't say the exact time.  Just that it will be the best time.  And in the Meantime... what do you do?  Do what you know to do.  Do what He told you to do, go back to the last thing that He told you. S ometimes we can get so focused on the waiting, that we don’t move forward so He can lead us.  That’s what leading is – leading only happens with something in motion.  If you don't take the first step He can't lead you any further.  If you take this one, you'll take the next one, but if you don't take this one, how will receive the next one?  You have to take the first step, so He can reveal the next.  And if you don’t know what the first step is…  Rest in Him, that's the first step.  His Faithfulness, and His promise – then take the first step you do know - even if it's unrelated to this question.  Psalms 62:5 – Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.  Sometimes I want the answer more than I want God.  If I want His presence, only for His answers, then I miss all the rest (and the rest) that His Presence brings.  His love, His comfort, His counsel, His joy, the peace that He is, the contentment that He brings, the inspiration, and just the blessing of being with Him, not getting from Him.  Praying that you will rest in Him, and do what you know to do - no matter what is yet unknown... so you can be resting and moving, so He can bring you to the place - where you can see - that sign you’ve been looking for.   
 
Love you all,
