Daily Huddle - Wed Feb 26, 2020 Afflicted or Accelerated!

Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word – it’s truth to live by.  It’s success that is available for anyone who has ears to hear – and a heart to obey.  Psalms 119:75  I know O LORD that your laws are righteous and in faithfulness you have afflicted me.  If He’s your Heavenly Father, and He loves you, and if He’s faithful – He will afflict you if you forget his laws.  His laws are righteous – (which means fully dependable for true success).  Usually people don’t reject God’s laws – they neglect them.  Few people say, "I refuse to obey your Word." Instead, it usually happens by default.  Indirect choices, not direct decisions.  You get too busy – but that’s a fallacy.  It’s not that you’re too busy.  It's what you choose as your priority.  Ever notice that the busiest people are the ones that get the most done.  That’s why if you want something done – ask a busy person - they know how to get things done.  But other people are also busy, and they get nothing done.  They are always getting ready to get ready, they never do anything.  Most often, especially during a busy season, you don’t reject His Word, you neglect His Word.  It becomes the first thing that slips, not the last thing to go.  So it’s not in the front of your mind, it's not the sunglasses you use that affects the way you see things.  So when you face something that His Word addresses, that His Word prescribes as the way to succeed in, you don’t recognize or notice.  What you neglect, you fail to notice.  So if you neglect, you reject.  If His law isn’t on your mind, it’s not on your tongue, if it’s not on your tongue, it’s not in your heart, and if it’s not in your heart, it won’t come out of your mouth – something else will – other words, not His.  And if it’s not on your mind, and tongue and heart – you won’t do it.  You’ll stray from his laws, His principles, His instructions for success.  So… in faithfulness He will afflict you.  If He didn’t, He wouldn’t be faithful.  He’ll let affliction come – so you don’t neglect, and you don’t reject.  To not neglect, His Word has to get a prime time slot in your schedule, a priority.  If it is, His Word will be on your mind, and on your tongue, it will be in your heart – and you will do it!  And every time you do it, what God does will increase, your testimony will increase – and you will become more likely to do it again.  Obedience and Joy are momentum generators.  Then God in His faithfulness - won’t have to afflict you - He will accelerate you!  Praying that your PIVAT before dinner – directs your PRISM time in His Word – at the times He has for you.  Take a PRISM Topic with you!  So your mind and tongue and heart and hands and feet are full of His Word – so His faithfulness will always accelerate you.  He can’t wait to do it.  He’s more excited about His plans for your day and your life than you are!  He knows what He’s planning – you don’t.  He’s excited – He’s waiting for you at every next destination of your obedience!  Praying that you will always run to Him.  It’s where the joy is! 
 
Love you all,
