Daily Huddle - Mon Oct 28, 2019 Upgrade

Love you all, praying for you.
 
Have you ever faced something that was beyond you?  Things not only beyond your control, but beyond your ability to even comprehend, or understand or discern.  When everything hits you at once.  And you feel that maybe some mistakes on your part may have increased what you are facing.  That had you handled things better – perhaps you would be facing less now?  And you get this acute sense of your great need for discernment.  As you are diligently trying to figure things out the burden gets heavier.  You’re trying to be diligent, not naturally minded.  And there comes a time to just do it.  But what is the it – that you should do - exactly?  What comes first, and what comes next – and what shouldn’t even be on the table right now – the unimportant or less important things that try to usurp the place of the important – all of which can only be discerned through the Holy Spirit.  Then Jibby my daughter says: "Dad, you always get an upgrade.  Don’t fall back on old patterns, ask Him for an upgrade.”  Are you facing loss, failure, struggle, challenge? If you are humble enough to obey no matter what and purposeful enough to choose His presence before anything else – you are just going from upgrade to upgrade.  Matthew 11:28 - Then Jesus said, “Come unto me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Jeremiah 33:3 - "Call to me, and I will answer you; I will tell you wonderful and marvelous things that you know nothing about.  What the devil plans for our undoing – God plans for an upgrade.  Praying that if you are weighed down by concerns – that you will come to Him – and let Him lift them.  And as the burden lifts – He makes the way clear before you.  The "do this" – becomes clear so you can do it now.  And if you look around and look back – you will see that God has been providing for you all along.  Giving His grace without measure moment by moment.  The things to be thankful for – so far outweigh the present and passing challenge you face.  As often is the case – it’s not only what you do – it’s how you do it.  God will rescue you from this storm, He will speak to the wind and the waves, they will calm, you will come out stronger, clearer, and with victory in the storm, victory through the storm, and victory after the storm.   Praying that you will seek Him first, His presence is where everything you need flows from. 
 
Love you all,
