21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 5

Day 5
Good day to each of you!  Let's go in...

Devotional Scripture & Thought
Here is today's scripture with underlined areas of the verse(s) for us ALL to contemplate. I will share a brief thought and you are invited to share your thoughts about the scripture and those highlighted areas in the comments below...

"Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." Joshua 1:8 (NIV)

It's a simple formula really - KEEP, SPEAK, DO.  Ah, but all that is simple is not necessarily easy. This is part of the purpose for our dedicated time of prayer and fasting. As we turn down the volume on normal things that distract us and redirect that time to learning the word of God, we will be better positioned to grow in the formula - KEEP, SPEAK, DO.

What are you reading and what are some of your thoughts...?

My Journey's Observations
Long productive day with an even longer weekend lined up. I am getting increasingly used to the process of eating selected items and eliminating internet scrolling (non-work related and ungodly sources especially). I have learned I use funny videos to help me get through challenging days and moments. Without that capability, I am redirecting my attention to more Godly sources and it is making a difference.

How about you?

(I also wanted to remind us of a great resource called RightNow Media that you have free access to for quality teaching. If you need help getting to it, please give me a call. In fact, here is an invite if you haven't already signed up.)

Finally
Remember, if you slip and eat or do something you were intending to fast from, just reset and restart. That is part of the learning curve as well.

I love you with the love of God...

Have a wonderful day and a tremendously blessed week!

Blessings,

Pastor Kris

I am staying away from scrolling through social media. I find I have more time to interact with others and i am getting outside more. I am studying my Discipleship lessons more in depth. I doubt I will return to scrolling!
