Daily Huddle - Sun Oct 11, 2020 Basics

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Life is like a shortstop.  The greatest ones aren’t the ones who can make the most spectacular play, they’re the ones who get every play they should get.  Nothing gets by them.  Spectacular or consistent?  You’re better off being spectacularly consistent, than occasionally spectacular.  Have you noticed how some people are soon bored with the basis.  But the basics are what bring success over time.  Praying that you will love the basics.  There’s an significant promise in Psalms 1:3 – He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not whither. Whatever he does prospers.  Wow – what if your life were like a tree by rivers of water, which always bears fruit for every season, whose leaves never wither, never dried out, not up and down, perpetually consistent, bearing fruit, always green.  What if everything you did prospered?  Everything you put your hand to?  Who is this talking about?  The one who loves God’s Word, who delights in it.  To whom PIVAT and PRISM never get boring, who continue with joyful persistence.  Hearing God’s voice, the Holy Spirit is that water, that helps you understand God’s Word through PRISM, and God’s Plans for you today through PiVAT.  The one who loves God’s Word – they are always coming back to it.  Day and night, reading it, saying it, filling their heart with it, committing themselves with their mouth to do it, until God truth and wisdom become who they are, they way they live, how they think and speak and act.  Not so the wicked.  God makes a clear difference.  They are not like a tree planted by streams of water, they are like dry chaff which the wind blows away, never to be remembered again.  The wicked are those who don’t delight in God’s Word, who don’t meditate on it, they meditate on something else, making another word the word they live by.  They become like chaff – which the slightest breeze can eliminate.   Praying that you will never get bored with the basics.  That you will never tire of PIVAT before dinner, getting His plans for you for tomorrow, and this week.  Praying that PRISM is your addiction, His truth, and light, and love and life- that transforms how you think and speak and act – so that God’s Word by the Holy Spirit establishes you in His wisdom and knowledge and understanding.  So that you thrive bearing fruit in every season, never dry, that everything you touch prospers, because it’s what He directs you to do, in his perfect time, for the right amount of time, every time.  That you will be that tree planted, watered, bearing fruit, and prospering.  God makes clear how to be just like that.  Delight in His Word.  Praying that your love for His Word will grow – so that everything He tells you to do – will prosper!
 
Love you all,
