Daily Huddle - Thu Oct 8, 2020 Check Swing

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Yesterday’s huddle was about chasing bad pitches… how easy it is to get consumed with pursuing something outside of the strike zone, something that God never told you to do, or to spend this much attention on, at this time.  Maybe it’s a dream of yours, or even something God has prophesied over you or promised you, and you are trying to make it happen on your own, getting out of balance, which is really out of obedience in the time decisions you make.  That tendency to take over your schedule yourself, instead of letting God control it.  So what is the check swing that keeps you from chasing pitch-outs or balls in the dirt?  PRISM.  As a good friend says often, "The closer you get to Jesus, the closer you get to your provision." (And the closer you get to His Word, the closer you get to Jesus).  Not the harder you look or the harder you work, or the harder you push or strain or whine or complain.  The closer you get to Jesus... His presence being your number 1 priority – what you come back to first, not autotrader.com, what you come back to first, not tinder, or realtor.com, or monster.com.  The closer you get to Jesus – the closer you get to your breakthrough... the closer you get to your direction, and provision, and protection, and your blessing.  There’s blessing in the waiting on Him, there’s blessing in the journey - if it’s His call, and His pace.  PRISM is that check swing, because Jesus is the Word made flesh, every time you choose the Word over anythingelse.com the closer you get to what you long for, to what God has put in your heart, and has in His heart – for your good.   Praying that those five things you can do each day in God’s Word, pre-empts every other thing.  That you know His heart, and His mind, that your words align with His truth, that you say what He says, and are diligent fully and only with what He told you to do today, in this hour  That PiVAT and PRISM become your check swing, and your Daily Call becomes that encouragement, so your testimony can bring your next testimony of His great faithfulness through your simple obedience.  That’s how home runs come, strike outs become rare, and your energy is focused on Him first, and what He says, next. That’s how your batting average changes, your confidence soars, and your effectiveness skyrockets.  It’s the life God has for you! Know what His plans are for you, transform your mind, give an account, overcome with your testimony.  Hall of Famer’s don’t chase bad pitches – their check swing is what keeps them focused only on God’s Best - His will for them right now! 
 
Love you all,
