21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 6

Day 6
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...

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11 (NIV)

The fun part about playing hide and seek was moving quickly to find a good place to hide for me. As the person who was "it" counted down, several excited participants hurriedly sought a place where they could not be found. The goal was NOT TO BE FOUND.  Not so much with today's scripture. The goal is to hide the word in our hearts so that it can be found and applied, consciously and subconsciously.

How are you doing at hiding? We all have to love the word so much that we find ourselves reading it, meditating on it, reflecting on it, deliberating on it continuously. Then we end up not being captives to sin.  The word works and helps us grow into progressively better reflections of Christ. That's what it is all about.

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

My Journey's Observations
I am growing more and more used to not scrolling as well as not eating anything I want. I am not challenged with headaches and my body seems to be starting to compensate for not taking in as much as it was before I started. Please share a comment about how you are doing and any stories or encouragement for our group.  

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

Ps.119:11 is a favorite. It reminds me the importance of taking time each day to not just read the Word,but letting it dwell in the heart; to call it to mind as I go through my day
