BIG revelation

On my way to work this morning I had a BIG REVELATION. I was not anticipating the magnitude of this revelation or what it says about who I am. It has everything to do with my personal and professional life, my mission statement, my vocation, my roles as husband, daddy, and leader in the church. It's one of those things that makes the old 'could've had a V8' commercial seem like the understatement of the century. I can't share something this personal online before I share it with my family, my friends, my support group--but I would like to share it with you...after I meet with my home group this Sunday night (6/7).

The process to the big revelation I would like to share with you now and see if you choose to put it to the test in your life.

I asked God to reveal Himself to me today and help me focus on His goal, His tasks for me today..."God please forgive me..., and help me to focus on what You have for me to do."

That was it...nothing frilly, no big new testament evangelical prayer that will be published on the cover "the prayers that Jesus really hears" weekly... It was almost instantaneous...as I have thought about for a little while, it was like something He had been wanting to tell me for days but was waiting on His opportunity to share with me. Jesus, please forgive me for being so selfish with my time.

...after I prayed the prayer (in Emeril fashion) BAM!! . . . big revelation :)

I hope the revelation in your life today is God sized, not just something you can do on your own.

I like what Paul to Timothy when he knows there time together is limited-"How I thank God for you, Timothy. I pray for you every day, and many times during the long nights I beg my God to bless you richly. He is my fathers' God, and mine, and my only purpose in life is to please Him. (2 Timothy 1:3-Living Bible)

Be good.
