Daily Huddle - Sat Dec 12, 2020 One Verse

Love you all, praying for you… 
 
You’ve seen cookbooks before, one hundred ways to cook chicken, or spam… That’s probably not so good… But have you ever thought about what all you can do with just one verse of the Word of God?  One verse from that Book that gives life and wisdom, truth and promise, love and hope?  That brings you an increase every time you do anything with it?  Because it’s God himself – in Word… What could you all do with a verse?  PRISM – those five things you can do in God’s Word every day.  You could Praise the WORD with that verse, you could Read the Word with that verse, you could gain Insight from the Word from that verse.  Usually Insight from the Word is today’s Proverbs chapter that specific wisdom God wants to give you for today – you’ll need it!  But you can gain insight from any verse of God’s Word.  Its truth is practical and eternal.  You could Study the Word with that same verse – SOAP it out (Scripture – write it down, Observation – ask God What do you want me to see that I’ve never seen before, or be reminded of?), Application – you could ask God what do you want me to do, now that you’ve revealed this to me?  And Prayer you could ask God to help you do what He just showed you in that verse.  But you can do even more than PRISM with a verse.  You can Read it, Hear it, Praise It – Praise God for the truth that’s contained in that verse – who He is and what He does in response to it.   You can Pray it – pray it over yourself, ask God to help you do it or become it, or avoid it.  You can Declare it.  Simply state what it says – as if what God says is true.  It is.  He does not lie.  You can Repeat it – meditate on it, running it back through your mind and heart again and again – like a cow chewing his cud, or like a great player practicing his craft.  You can Pray it over others, Encourage others with it, Declare it over someone else, either on your own or better yet in their presence as a blessing and benediction.  You can just call them and pray it over them, and maybe ask them the best question ever (What do you need most from God today?) Listen, and let the Holy Spirit use your voice, and your obedience to speak and pray into their life the exact thing they need in this moment.  Praying that you will spend time in one verse – in all the things you can do with it.  Ask God which one.  That’s the difference between His verse for you, and one that you would pick out.  Nothing will return void, but He’s got the best one for you.  Praying that God will show you the verse that He has for you today.  That you will be encouraged, amazed, changed!  That you would walk in it – whatever He has for you. 
 
Love you all,
