Daily Huddle - Sun Sep 6, 2019 Your Lips Maintain

Love you all, praying for you. 
 
Have you ever thought of the inputs you receive in life?  Every company, community, group of people, government, technology everyone is always saying something.  They speak from their experience or their opinion – which is limited.  What they are convinced works, or is truth – is not always, sometimes rarely.  But when God speaks – It is truth – from the beginning of time to the end of time – from generation to generation.  What He says – you can take to the bank.  Some things He says may sound right to you – some things may sound strange to you – most things you probably have never thought of or considered, but what God says - is truth.  Obey it, and you will build your life on the Rock – that will never be moved.  His Word is eternal – His principles are proven – His promise is unchangeable.  You can trust Him. 
 
God reminding me recently.  Proverbs 5:1-2  My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight.  That you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.  Discretion – that discernment which enables a person to judge critically of what is correct and proper.  God’s wisdom guards our steps – enabling us to choose correctly between error and that which benefits us and others.    What are you paying attention to?  Your lips will reveal it.  Discretion must be maintained, it doesn’t last forever, it’s not a once and for all thing… Just cause you got it doesn’t me you will keep it.  Good decisions today don’t mean good decisions tomorrow.  Increases your chances, but not guarantee.  To maintain means to give attention to – to insure it remains in proper working order.  Maintain discretion starts with preserving knowledge.  First it comes from God – other sources are false knowledge.  God can speak through anybody, but there is God’s wisdom and the wisdom that comes from the world – fake wisdom, ‘seams like wisdom’ wisdom... but it isn’t – its deceiving.  To maintain discretion, first it comes from the source of all wisdom – God.  His Word.  Become so familiar with it!  Second, you need to write it down (How else will it get planted in you?  How else will you remember it?  Someone else’s writing is not as impactful as what you have written down.  It will get in your heart, it will be written on the tablet of your heart, it will remain as the overflow.  What if the overflow of your heart and your tongue – was wisdom - the right use of knowledge?   Praying for you, that you will get away from activities today, to hear knowledge from your Heavenly Father who is just waiting to show you, to reveal Himself to you – how much He loves you, and how much He has for you, if obedience becomes your first reaction and your lifelong habit.  Praying that joy will be the predominance of your day.  That you would seek Him for His plans for you this week in your PiVAT Weekly.   Discretion isn’t once and for all.  You first have to get it, then obey it (practice it) and maintain it with your lips.   What are you saying out of your mouth?  Your idle words (what you say without thinking) the ongoing conversation of your mouth is either maintaining discretion or foolishness.  Sometimes silence is better…  Have you ever asked the Holy Spirit before even speaking one more word?  God, is this what you want want me to say or say right now?  Wait on Him, Listen to Him, and when you speak – only by permission…  He will lead your words to be exclusively His truth and give you grace to leave the rest unsaid.  Some things are to be forever – left unsaid – not repeated again, from now on.  Why maintain doubt?  Why maintain faithlessness?  Why speak of the acts and deeds of the wicked?  Why give any attention or mind space to what they do?  What entertainment value or improvement value is there?  Your words will be wisdom or foolishness.  Why maintain foolish – when God says – maintain discretion?  Start Here:  Purpose your tongue with praise – no foolishness comes out of praise.  Praise first, God will inhabit it, and you will be on your way to maintain discretion with your lips.  Praying that you will seek wisdom from the only Source, that PRISM everyday all day will be your lifelong habit, that you would speak wisdom out loud – so you maintain discretion and that you would respond to wisdom by doing it immediately.  Just ask God what to implement right now and how – He will tell you!   Praying for you – that wisdom is what you speak, what you seek, what you maintain, that discretion will never leave you, that your words will always maintain His truth so you are established in the doing of it!
