Daily Huddle - Sun Feb 24, 2019 Not NBA Material? Compete Here

Love you all, praying for you.
 
So thankful for this weekend, everyone in our family doing what God called them to do.  His confirmations everywhere. Divine appointments, orchestrated conversations.  The Holy Spirit leading, just like He promised.   Talked with someone this weekend. 
 
A mom at the tournament sharing about her kids.  I just tried to speak life and encouragement into her.    Then out of the blue, she shares a conversation she had with her 11 year old son who is struggling.   He’s not as good as his siblings in school, and he’s not really gifted athletically like his brother and sister. 

He asked her, “Mom, I’m not good at anything.  Does God really have a plan for my life?”  “Of course He does honey, He has a wonderful plan for your life!”   “Then what is it?”    (Cute.  But I understand what He's saying...  “I’m already 11, and I’m just not seeing it!”)
 
How many like that 11 year old, maybe even us sometimes, feel like they just don’t fit in, they just aren’t good at anything – like other people are.    I smiled and then shared with this concerned Mom…   There are 8 billion people on the planet.  How many college graduates have a job today that they didn’t even know existed, when they graduated from college.  And he’s eleven. 
 
And as soon as that came out of my mouth, the Holy Spirit spoke something into my spirit.  After a minute I brought it up again.    “You know, he may not feel like he can compete academically, and he may not feel like he can compete athletically, but there is an area he definitely can compete in…   I paused, and she looked at me, waiting for me to finish...
 
Wisdom.

There is a chapter of Proverbs for him every day of the month with wisdom that will set him apart from his peers.  (and have him walking in humility).  You should encourage him in that.”  She paused and thanked me, “I haven’t really thought of that before.” 
 
I’m praying for you - that while you are waiting for your dream job, or dream spouse, or things to start really going great…  That while you are waiting…  You would seek wisdom above all else,  and be absolutely obedient - fully faithful and completely joyful, in the little that God has in front of you right now. 
 
God loves you!  His plans will come to pass, but He has wisdom for you to walk in daily to build your character and increase your ability and capacity to walk successfully in – where He wants to take you.   Praying that PRISM every day will be your DNA.  So you can be fully ready for when God wants to move.

Love you all,
