REST: I went to bed around 10:45 pm after reading As A Man Thinketh for about 30 minutes. I chose not to set my PDA alarm and slept like a baby. Julia got up before 6 am to get ready to go to Cambo. Maui got me up at 7:10 am just before Julia left to help with the bike race at Cambo. I took Maui for a mile walk.

ABIDE: As I was walking, I quoted Psalm 1:1-3 out loud numerous times. When I got back home, I came to my basement computer, and once again I read Psalm 1:1-3 out loud several times. This time I personalized it.

Blessed is Joseph who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in God’s law Joseph meditates day and night. Joseph shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever Joseph does shall prosper. (Psalm 1:1-3)

Good morning Joseph. Thank you for not going to Charlottesville yesterday, for choosing to rest, for choosing to send the birthday e-cards, for choosing to take care of your temple, for choosing to go to bed early. Other people are carrying the ball with the state-wide prayer movement. You can join in that when you are restored, but for now bask in My presence, in My peace.

Joseph, this morning I want to talk to you about HONOR. Every success you have had in business can be traced back to honoring someone and every failure can be traced back to dishonor. While that doesn’t seem to be always true, I honor those who honor Me. I want to change your thinking. When you change your thinking, you change your life.

Joseph, you honor Me when you have these dialogs with Me. You honor Me when you keep your commitments. You honor Me when you say no to things that won’t fit into your schedule. You honor Me when you take care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. You honor Me when you cherish Julia. You honor me when you demonstrate your love to your children. You honor Me when you honor your parents. You honor Me when you are a good steward with the finances I have entrusted to you. Even your simple act of asking for a refund of $1 x6 for Tim Smith Jr is something I appreciated.

Jesus, will you help me understand and apply Psalm 1:1-3. I want to prosper in everything I do. I want my life, my family, my health, my relationships, my finances, and all other areas of my life to honor You and bring glory to God.

Joseph, I want you to memorize Psalm 1:1-3 by repeating it out loud at least 3x per day for 30 days. When you’re making choices and decisions, think about that and how it applies.

BE at peace. I love you with an everlasting love. I’m smiling at You. With you I AM well pleased. I delight in you. I delight in bringing you joy. I delight in giving you the desires of your heart. Look back at Psalm 1:1-3. It says “bring for its fruit in its season.” This is the season now where your fruit will come forth. The VISIONS777 webinar series is the culmination of your past 3.5 years of abiding and work. The past 3.5 years have been a dry and barren season for you, but now it’s time for the rain – rain from heaven. BE at peace. Rest in Me. ABIDE.

Thank You Jesus. What a great way to start my day.

Yes, Joseph, this is a great way to start your day. The way you will fulfill your life purpose and mission is be slowing down, doing less yourself, assembling a big team, and delegating as much as possible away. PRAYER in your private prayer closet will bear much fruit. This is the key. Prayer is much more powerful than Web 2.0 because it moves the hand of My Father.

Joseph, please post this message at Journal 777 along with Arthur Burk’s audio file about honor. Then go for a long bicycle ride before it gets too hot. Treat yourself to a fun morning. There will be plenty of time to do your other tasks.

Blessing of the Day
