Daily Huddle - Sun Sep 20, 2020 Plans And Purpose

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Praying that one of the PRISM Topics  you use often during your PRISM – M (Meditate on the Word) is PRISM Topic – Starter Verses.  Daily reminders that will establish you in God’s Truth – and direct your life to His success for you.  There are a few about plans and purpose that are so important to remember.  First God has plans for you – they are way better than yours – for your success.  The difference between His way and our way is extreme.  It’s the difference between PiVAT – His plans for you, and PiVAT Maybe - your plans for you.   Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  There’s even better news!  If you just understand the difference between His plans and yours, (PiVAT and PiVAT Maybe) – all you have to do is choose His plans, even just want to choose them, and He will do the rest!  He will help you!  Psalms 138:8 - The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me, your love O LORD endures forever.  Philippians 1:6 - Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.   Philippians 2:13 - For it is God who works in you both to will and to act according to his good purpose.  I just love that verse – God’s love and power will take over for you – even when your “want to" is broken.  Every time you do PRISM – M – Meditate on the Word – your mouth is filling your heart, and your words and actions will follow.  Isaiah 48:17 - This is what the LORD says – your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”  God wants to teach you through PiVAT and PRISM and your Daily Call this week the way you should go.  His plans for you are how He leads you to fulfill the purpose He created you for!  That’s why PIVAT Weekly and PiVAT Monthly are so important.  It’s just listening and obeying practice.  This is not busy work, this is you creating the habit to set time aside to listen to what He longs to tell you - the plans He has prepared for your success!   It is crucial that you know and do His will for you this month – the wonderful plans He has for just you - not someone else!  These are the plans He has for you – for your good, for your benefit, for your blessing.  And why are they so important?  Because your obedience this month, will position you for what God wants you to grow in and become – next month.  Matthew 7:21  Not everyone who says to me ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven – but only He who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  That’s what Jesus did most of all – the will of His Father.  It’s the only thing He did.  Followers of Christ do the same thing.  Praying that you will get His will for you this week, and this month – so you can do it!  He will help you!  He promised!   Praying that you will stop doing things – and ask Him what He wants you to do – and pursue it with all your heart.  Part of that is rest, when He has called you to rest – so you put your trust in him, not your own effort.  Let him make the plans, you just obey – there’s joy there, and success there – the only place you’ll find it.  And sometimes obedience has a domino effect – sometimes others can’t obey – until you obey.  You obedience affects more than just you – it impacts those around you.  It’s how you get the testimony that helps you overcome and causes ripple effect in those around you.  Praying that you will hear clearly, and obey quickly, so His joy can consume you – so He can fulfill His good purpose in you – this week, this month, today – even in this hour.  His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.  He will give you grace to do it.
 
Love you all,
