INTERRUPTED AGENDA

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)

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

“This is the beginning of a new day!

You have been given this day to use as you will.

You can waste it or use it for good.

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. In its place is something that you have left behind . . .

Let it be something good. —

Father, I anticipate the good things You have prepared for me today. 

Bring complete order to my day as I seek You first and make Your will my priority.

I rejoice in the new day You have given me. I praise You for making it fruitful and productive. Thank You for teaching me ways to increase my effectiveness— to work smarter.

I work according to Your AGENDA and perform for an AUDIENCE of one—the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” ― Cindy Trimm

Cindy has helped us to set the stage for today.

We have been given today.

GOD has GOOD for us in it.

Will we allow Him to orchestrate it?  Direct it?

Will we lean on Him to INCREASE our effectiveness?

To offer WISDOM?

Remember:

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5 (NIV)

Far too many times I think we just cling to the routine of our day and forget that GOD may have something completely different in mind; a different classroom, or maybe a revelatory experience. 

Case in point.

I had scoped out what I thought was going to be a “tight and empowering” agenda for a training class/seminar I was directing yesterday in Lancaster.  There were video’s, there was an exercise there was some PowerPoint “stuff” but GOD had something entirely different scheduled.

GOD (our AUDIENCE of ONE) used my audience and interrupted the day in an amazing way.  There WERE words of wisdom shared.  There was GOOD shared all around.  The “class” did MOST of the teaching.  They CLEARLY had embraced what Ms. Trimm has suggested much better than I.

They worked with GOD’S agenda in mind, never pausing to “take a break” to embrace the presence of GOD.  They were committed to allowing the SPIRIT to do some amazing teaching.  The helped me to “let GOD” and not my plan have the last word yesterday.

Proverbs 16:1 (MSG)

Mortals make elaborate plans, but God has the last word.

I was so humbled and blessed by the day and by this group of folks who were willing to EMBRACE the day with both hands, a group who were willing to GIVE GOD room in the “goings on” and let GOD have the agenda. 

And it was GOOD.

So the point is pretty clear I am sure.

Anticipate the GOOD things GOD has for today.

Ask GOD to bring ORDER to your day. (Give Him the agenda)

Thank Him in advance for WHAT He will teach you.

And give the AUDIENCE of ONE the reigns for the day.

You won’t be sorry.

I love you ALL!

Be blessed!
