II Chronicles 7:14
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
The word of the day is pivot. For whatever reason, God did not allow me to rest without hearing this word constantly. I realize that I have different issues that can cause me not to sleep well. However, pivot just would not leave my brain.
In basketball, you are taught to be mindful of your pivot foot when you have stopped dribbling. Being able to pivot suggests that you have the capacity to turn at the right time. Every person must have the capacity to turn when necessary.
Many of us have plans that we want to fulfill. Those ideas and concepts have been God-given. We even have the drive to work through challenges to see those things come to pass. Yet, God may call an audible for us to address something more immediate. Sometimes, we must address circumstances that require more attention.
We must have the humility to remember our calling and pray about every circumstance. We must seek the face of God so that we’re always in line with the will that must be done. Otherwise, we will have submitted ourselves to the evil that is present and become complicit in its prevailing due to our silence before God.
