21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 14
Day 14 - Sun 1/21/24
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...
"Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" Galatians 6:2 (HCSB)
Continuing in the theme of the power of being together, this scripture is so straight forward in pointing to the benefits of being together. I cannot think of the number of times I have caved into the temptation to keep things to myself excessively. You know what I mean, when we feel like it's better to keep things stuffed inside versus establishing, growing and nuturing Godly trusted relationships where we can actually allow for other (like minded, God-fearing, Holy Spirit filled) people to be sounding boards.
The actually process for carrying another's burdens at least starts with us being willing to share what our burdens actually are. The irony is when we allow others to do this in mutual support for one another, we are fulfilling the law of Christ. Think about that... The cultivation of relationships which are able to help each part by carrying one another's burdens actually is an intentional aim (or should be) of ours. Are you willing to share and care by carry another's burdens and allowing another to carry yours, or are you too private? Or, too walled off? Or, too hurt to be vulnerable to fulfill the law of Christ?
What are you reading and what are some of your thoughts...?
My Journey's Observations
Today was my break day, and the biggest thing I looked forward to was having something called Skinny Pop popcorn. The one in the green and white bag. Listen to me when I say there was something special about that Skinny Pop. The particular bag I had must have been specially made as I barged right through it and found a little slice of heaven on earth. Other, than that I did not break too far from my norm. I also got a dash of sports in, but nothing over the top.
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.)
For those of you who are news junkies and are seeking a more healthy alternative I wanted to share something called The Pour Over. It strives to be a neutral source of news bites that decidedly points people to the bible. Remember, we should always be working to allow the Holy Spirit to empower us to plant our feet on higher (and higher, and higher...) ground.
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
