Daily Huddle - Wed Feb 12, 2020 Fill The Earth

Love you all, praying for you
 
I’m amazed at the difference of God and His Ways versus me and my ways.  There is nothing selfish in Him.  There’s still some selfish in me.  I love how PRISM changes your perspective.  His Word just does that – it helps you see, and see differently.  Psalms 119:64 – The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; teach me your decrees.  David knew a secret – to know the love of God – you need to know His decrees – they are His love!  That’s why He asked God to teach Him.  The earth is filled with His love – because He fills it.  His Love that fills the earth is His character and nature – evidenced through all He has created.  He sustains it – He gives it breath.  His love is His forgiveness for all who repent, His salvation for all who call on His Name, His Spirit for all who will walk in Him, and His grace to overcome – for all who will receive it and choose it.  All of creation is His love for us.  Every sunrise and sunset, every seed time and harvest, crops that grow, trees that bear fruit.  Every breath you take – is the earth filled with His love - sustaining all things by His hand.  His love for the world started with creation.  He doesn’t love the earth – He loves you.  He fills the earth with His love – so we will know it.  And He fills us with His love – so He can fill the earth with His love - through you and me.  His decrees are His love for us.  Everything He says is good – for our good!  So to fill the earth with His love He must fill it with His Word – that’s where we come in.  He wants to fill you!  That’s how He does it.  If His Word fills you (His decrees) than His love fills you.  His Word tells you not only how to love Him, but how to love others.  That’s how He fills the earth with His love – through Him and through you!  His mercy, and forgiveness, His patience, His grace, His favor.  You can’t know His love without knowing His Word – That’s why PRISM is so important.  It’s how you know Him and His love for you.  And then He fills the earth with His love – through you.  He said love one another, love your neighbor as yourself, love your enemies, those who mistreat you, and love your wife as Christ loved the church.  His creation is His love for everybody. He makes rain fall on the just and the unjust – the warmth of sunshine, or the warmth by the fire – all of which He created.  But there’s another level of love beyond his creation and the breath of life He gives.  There’s a demonstration of His love – that only comes through obedience - through walking in His Ways – to see what He does to show Himself strong on behalf of those who fully obey Him.  His decrees reveal how to succeed, how to avoid harm, ruin and death, they keeps us safe, from foolish decisions, from deception.  His decrees are protection from harm but they also reveal what He blesses.  What increases the outpouring of His love on the earth.  His love is His Word - when we obey His Word – we see His love fill the earth – that’s why PRISM is so important, when we obey his Word to us – put it into practice – that obedience lets us see a whole new level of His love for us.  That’s why PiVAT is so important – His plans for you are His love for you!  Obeying what He has for you today – will release new demonstrations of His love that are only revealed through obedience.  If you didn't ask, you wouldn't know, if you didn't obey  - you couldn’t possibly experience – the earth would be less filled.  He looks to show himself strong on behalf of obeyers – to pour out his love in bigger ways - to fill the earth!  He’s looking to show off – his power and his favor on those who will let him lead, who will do what He says, just like He did what His Father said.  God fills the earth with His love – through the blessing that he pours out on obedience.  His love for you has no limit.  The more you obey – the more you experience the depths of His love for you.  The more we obey the more the earth is filled with His love.  Praying that PRISM and PIVAT – have you learning His decrees, His love for you - and how to love others - so he can fill them with His love through you.   Does God’s Love fill you?  Does His Word fill you? Are you obeying the next step He reveals?  Then his love fills you and can fill others.  Praying that you will ask God today - what He wants you to do – so His love can pour out on you - and how to love others – so He can fill the earth with His love - through you!
