TUESDAY INVASION

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.

Are you willing to let God invade today?
We are often willing to “allow a little invading” on a Sunday, it fits the schedule and seems natural. 
What about a random Tuesday in November?

Don’t you think it would be amazing to see what this ordinary day could look like if you ALLOWED GOD to INVADE it, to operate with you in it, to make it EXTRAORDINARY?

Just what would this typical Tuesday look like if you stopped right now and welcomed GOD into it?

Would the day be more real?
Would the day provide more promise?
Would the day be better covered?
Would the day be more Kingdom focused?

The answer is YES.
You can even start simply.
“Try taking five minutes for meditation. Close your eyes and in your mind picture Jesus. Watch Him turn, look at you and hear Him...” ―Kyle Idleman
We can do that?  Right? 
That would most certainly open the door for INVASION!

Tozer encouraged “invasion” this way, 
“Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there."

I know that little quote from Tozer sounds a little "high church", but take out the “priestly ministration” and just say let’s practice the fine art of dedicating all that we say and do today to the LORD. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14 (NIV)

And that can start with a little meditation and a little welcoming invitation. And as you meditate, welcome GOD into the simple and the complex of your day.  As you meditate ask GOD for discernment, guidance, and direction as to what to think, say, and do.
And then...
…Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant…
Romans 12:12 (MSG)

Let’s not do as Lucado laments,
"...seldom, if ever, allow the Holy Spirit to interrupt our plans”

Instead lets:
Invite HIS invasion.

Pray with me:
God let’s work together in powerful ways today. 
I want YOUR purpose to be MY purpose today! 
Let me REST in what you have planned.
Invade my heart, soul, spirit, and agenda.
Your Kingdom is my priority. Your Will is what I want!!
Let’s do TUESDAY together!

In Jesus name. Amen


I love you all!
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
OPPORTUNITIES for HOPE
