Daily Huddle - Sun Aug 24, 2020 Lead and Response

Love you all, praying for you, 

I just love God’s Word.  It is God’s truth for your day, God’s promise for your peace, God’s instruction for your success.  I love His reminders.  He knows we need them, and just the perfect time.  Lamentations 3:22 – The steadfast love of the LORD never changes; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.  This morning God has been thinking about you!  With mercy!  That mildness or tenderness of heart which disposes a person to overlook injuries, or to treat an offender better than he deserves.  His thoughts of you this morning are love and mercy.  He’s already leading this morning – He can’t wait til you get up – He’s got such good things in store for you today.  He leads, we respond.  I so love God’s Word – He tells us how He leads and how we respond.  What is the appropriate and fitting response to the mercy that He initiated before you even woke up this morning?  Romans 12:1 – Therefore, I urge you, brother and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God ---  this is your true and proper worship – (your reasonable act of service.  Praise God!  He was waiting for you already this morning – with mercy!  He has goodness and kindness for you today.  As you present your body as a living sacrifice.  That’s a time thing.  What you do with your body – where you go, what you do, who you talk to, what you pursue today with your time.  God says my lead merits this response – living sacrifice. That means if your time is His – His mercy can be fulfilled in you.   Praying that you would live in PiVAT today – that change of ownership, that full surrender that completely frees you for His mercy to complete you – to make you completely successful today – walking in every opportunity He brings, avoiding every pitfall or temptation that would have you miss out on His best.  His love for you is never ending, His plans for you are so good.  You can go back to PiVAT right now – and confirm you are right on track – so His mercy can guide you to His very best today.  Praying that you will remember His mercy, that your life is His, praying that as He will always lead you – that you will always follow.  There’s joy there. 


Love you all,  
Dad
