IMMERSE

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

It is getting down to the wire for my kids and school this year.

How can I tell?

The homework is really on the upswing.

More kids over for study groups, papers and project timelines next to the computer. Energy drinks in the fridge. Exam season is right around the corner.

The kids are “immersed” in learning right now.

And that got me to thinking about a little quote from I read some time ago.

The quote reads:

“Major in the grace of God. Focus on the cross of Christ. Grow fluent in the language of redemption. Linger long at the foot of the cross. Immerse yourself in the curriculum of grace.”

“‘Immerse’ yourself in the curriculum of grace.”

Jesus puts it this way.

Matthew 6:33

Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions.

Steep yourself!

That is another word for IMMERSE. It means to dive in, get deep, cover completely, to bathe and bask in “GOD stuff”.

Bask in His Word, revel in His realities, and fully embrace His provisions and instructions.

So the question for today is..."Are you willing to “immerse” yourself in GOD?"

No seriously.

Are you ready to STEEP yourself and are you ready to learn?

The fact is that GOD doesn’t waste a single moment on us. He expects to dive in to each day alert and ready to learn rather than just blindly and foggily trudging through it. He wants us steeped! He wants us focused! He wants us listening! He wants us learning!

Proverbs 1:5

Let the wise hear and increase in learning…

So don’t just numbly wander through today. Instead dive into today with open eyes, open ears and an open mind to what GOD wants you to learn today.

1 Thessalonians 5:6

…So let’s not sleepwalk through life…Let’s keep our eyes open and be smart.

Proverbs 4:10

Son, listen to me. Do what I say, and you will live a long time. I am teaching you about wisdom and guiding you on the right path.

Class is in session!

I love you all!
