GOOD IDEA

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.

The other night we, along with countless dear friends were able to bless one of our“family” who is facing some rough road ahead. Very soon I will expand on that story. It is remarkable in its own right and deserves its own DISPATCH down the road. Stay tuned. It will be coming.

Today however I wanted to expand a little on what was said during the “big reveal” of this blessing to our sister.

Many of you who know my wife know that aside from being an amazing mate, a dedicated mom, a compassionate caregiver as well as a spiritual teacher and mentor to many, she is not without her “quirks”.

One of her “quirks” is when and where she tends to hear from the Lord.

It is usually in the shower.

Now before you dial 1-800-looneytune and have her head examined, she has gotten some pretty solid revelation with a head full of shampoo and a fistful of loofah. Remember GOD ways are not ours.

Isaiah 55:9

My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

And this time under the stream was no exception. So I have learned to not be surprised or taken aback by Beth’s divine, yet sometimes deluged encounters.

But I digress.

As Beth was sharing her most recent “shower encounter” and the wonderful idea that was given to her by the SPIRIT, my daughter Sam made a little seemingly throwaway comment. Just as we were all marveling at the inspiration GOD had given Beth, Samantha just said, “Well GOD DOES have REALLY GOOD ideas.”

And you know what, she is right.

GOD DOES have really good ideas. Lots of them.

So my question is why don’t we ask Him for them more often?

I mean:

GOD DOES know everything.

GOD DOES see everything.

GOD DOES have the answer to every question because He made both.

Why when we have run out of GOOD IDEAS do we go running to consultants and experts instead of just simply asking GOD for one of His?

Kinda hard to figure out isn’t it?

Considering…

James 1:17

…whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God, the Creator of all light, and he shines forever without change or shadow.

That alone should inspire us forget the “experts” and instead consult GOD for an idea or two shouldn’t it?

So I ask you today…are you fresh out of GOOD ideas?

Do you need inspiration or a little revelation from above?

Don’t go running to the shower, leave that for Beth.

Do however look above and ask. GOD is CHOCKED FULL of wonderful ideas for whatever you are dealing with, trying to resolve or create. He wants to share those wonderful ideas with you.

Really!

All you need to do is first “ask”…

Matthew 7:7

“Ask, and you will be given what you ask for. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened.

…and then listen.

Jeremiah 33:3

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Let GOD share HIS ideas with you; shower or no shower.

That itself IS a GOOD idea…!

Have a blessed weekend…

I love you all!
