Daily Huddle - Sun Jan 26, 2020 Consider

Love you all, praying for you.  
 
Do you ever consider?  Do you ever set aside the time to?  Most people are too busy – life is moving too fast, the times they do rest is just a cease or exchange of activity, but they never really take the time to consider - to review, to contemplate, to take advice, to understand, to mentally separate, to put in mind, and put in order – to arrange for the understanding of.  I Samuel 12:24 – Above all, be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.  (The New Living says – think of all the wonderful things He has done for you).  The day of rest is also the day of considering – what God did last week: what He told you to do, and what HE did when you obeyed.  What God did for others as they were faithful to obey, what God revealed to you from His Word each day, and what God confirmed through others through your Daily Calls, and conversations.  Sunday’s – God’s day of rest is not just a rest of body, and mind – it’s for renewal, to consider what He just did, and also consider what He is leading you to do.  Praying that God will draw your heart to do PiVAT Weekly every Sunday - so you can consider.  It helps if you have a PIVAT Small Group - you have to do PiVAT Weekly to be prepared for it... But even if you don't - it is so worth the time.  It honors God, it puts Him first - before the week begins.  It puts Him in mind - first.  It lets you consider - it reminds you of what He said, and what He did when you did what He said.  PiVAT Weekly starts with completing your testimony from last week – what God did and revealed as you’re learning to walk each day in obedience.  As you review through your Conversation Log – each day’s PiVAT, each day’s PRISM, each day’s Conversations Page of your Daily Call – the testimonies start to add up.  He refreshes your mind and heart to remember what He spoke.  You see how He leads you day by day – and how His Words to you are not just isolated, they are going somewhere – they are leading your forward – from precept to precept – from glory to glory.  It reaffirms your obedience, and inspires you to continue.  It helps you consider the great and wonderful things He has done for you - and still has for you!  And as you seek Him for this coming week – Monday through Sunday of next weekend…  He will reveal everything you need to know right now – to take the first step.  He will reveal the rest along the way – as you seek Him early, and obey quickly, and overcome daily with your Daily Call Partner.  Praying that you will join a PiVAT Small Group and if you can't find one, that you will begin one.  That one hour a week where each Daily Caller shares what God did and spoke this week.   It is the most powerful environment of praise, obedience, encouragement and growth – that you will experience.  It will add wisdom and joy as you consider not just what God did for you, but what He did for others and what He is doing in all of you.  This is the gathering of yourself together – to share the things He said, and He did.  It will propel your faithfulness into next week - so you walk in all the good that He has for you.  That’s how you sharpen and are sharpened.  Your PiVAT Small Group will generate momentum for you.  It will add force and speed to your moving forward!  Praying that you will consider well - not only what He has done for you last week, but what He will do in you this week, as you grow in obedience, and grow daily with one other, and weekly with several others.  This is God’s design to sustain you on His journey - to places beyond what you could imagine – so His goodness and His mercy can follow you all the days of your life. 
 
Love you all,
