Do you ever feel like there is a time and a place in your life that you feel so bogged down that you don't know where to turn? Well, I am certainly feeling that way right now!
I have felt convicted that my prayer life has been more than lacking. Isn't ironic that as a Christian, I espouse belief in the Creator of the Universe, God Omniscent, My Redeemer, My Comforter... yet.... I don't tap into that limitless resource through prayer.
A God, unlike any other god that people may hold dear, that desires a personal relationship with me and has made a way for me to ... through Jesus Christ...
Well, I have decided to make a commitment... a 40 day commitment.... A forty day process of change and transformation... a renewing of my mind, purpose and focus.
40 days in the Bible include:
NOAH - Gen 7:12 KJV) And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
MOSES - Exo 24:18 KJV) And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
ELIJAH - 1 Ki 19:8 KJV) And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
JESUS - Mat 4:1-2 KJV) Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. {2} And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.
These were times of major times of change.... and being nourished by almighty God.
I pray that my 40 days will give me the piece I so desperately seek about certain situations going on in my life right now. God knows what they are ... and if you read this, I pray that you would lift me and my family up during this time of commitment.... and that God's purpose will be clear because I so earnestly seek to know!
