Love you all, praying for you. 
 
The blessings that God gives are uncountable – un-understandable.  The benefits of committing your life to Him are unending!  God reminding me recently.  Psalms 119:40 - How I long for your precepts, preserve my life in your righteousness.  In other verses David says – ‘preserve my life according to your Word.  That is righteousness - His Word.  When the Bible says 'according to' – or ‘in’ – it is giving us clues as to how this comes about – what’s required, how it can come to pass.  Praise God He preserves you because He is righteous, not because you are.  It’s His righteousness that preserves me, not mine.  Praise God we have been made righteous in Him – through Jesus our righteousness.  We now meet the righteous requirements of God because of what Jesus did for us.  So we are now righteous in Him, because of what He did.  Righteous is right standing and also right doing.  You have to be in Christ (having received His free gift of salvation) or you cannot possibly be righteous – no matter how many ‘good things you do.   And then the righteousness that you are in Christ can flow into the righteousness that you do in Christ – because you walk in the Spirit and do the things He leads you to do... His plans not yours, His love, not yours.  How I long for your precepts.  How do you learn to do that?  There is obviously a connection between longing for His precepts and being preserved in His righteousness.  God preserves our life.  Preserve has three parts - save, sustain and flavor.  He saves and delivers you – not just for eternity in heaven with Him, but He saves you and delivers you from what could kill you, destroy you, or ruin or harm you here on earth.  Whether external threat, or internal struggle.  He preserves your life – He saves you and delivers you both now and forever.  His preserve also sustains you - to add length and strength to.  He increases the length and strength of your life – He makes it last longer than it would have – because He gives you strength day by day – not just physical, but spiritual, emotional, motivational, purposeful.  He saves you, He sustains you – and the third thing that preserves you – is flavor.  He adds flavor to your life - that's what makes it worthwhile - it's the joy of life.  Preserves – like Raspberry or Blueberry preserves.  He doesn't sustain your life to be miserable - He preserves it with favor and flavor!  He adds flavor to life – true success, abiding hope for the future, unspeakable joy in the present – no matter what circumstance you face.  His promises are true, He has good for you – you can walk in it daily!  So how do you learn to long for His precepts - His standards, his principles for success?  He gives his precepts through His Will and His Word.  Just ask Him for His plans – PiVAT before dinner will help you – He will show you specifically what He wants you to do tomorrow – that will save you, sustain you, and add flavor to your life.  PRISM will transform your mind – His Word always saves you (from error and foolishness), it sustains you and strengthens you – it levels your course, and it adds flavor – the joy that only He can bring!  Get in His Word, Stay in His Word – and Immediately Obey what He tells you!  First you taste something, then you develop a taste for it.  Read His Word and you’ll taste His good – follow it – and you will see the fruit it brings – you’ll see what He does in response to your simple obedience.  Once you taste and then see that the LORD is good, then you realize it’s His Word – the Holy Spirit leading you in hearing and doing it – that preserves you, saves you, sustains you, adds flavor and life to you.  If you long for His favor, you long for His Word, if you long for wisdom, you long for His Word (His principles).  If you long for success, you long for His Word.  If you long for peace, happiness, joy, fulfillment, your destiny, the desires of your heart – you long for His Word.   Increase His Word – and you’ll long for it.  Praying that PRISM increases in frequency and priority in your life.  Praying that you will take a PRISM Topic with you and meditate on it throughout the day – down times, transition times, lunch times and break times.  Increase His Word – and you’ll long for it.  That’s how He preserves you!  It’s how He saves you, sustains you and adds flavor to your life – in His righteousness according to His Word.  He will help you long for it – so you can walk in every Good thing that He longs to give to you! 
 
Love you all,
