Fast: One Meal, TV/Streaming and Social Media
Scripture:
“[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him.]” Philippians 3:10a Classic AMP
Thought of the day:
As you come into His presence, each day there should be a progression of knowing Him. In the verse above, we see that this knowing is not a superficial thing. God wants you to know Him more deeply and intimately. Many people know God like they know their favorite sports figure. They know their stats; they can tell you with passion things that person has done. They may even be able to tell you details about that person that may be intimate, because they have read it somewhere or heard someone else tell about it. But that is not being deeply, and intimately acquainted with them. God desires that you go past the surface level relationship, past what others have said about Him, and come so close to Him that you can hear Him whisper things about Himself to you.
Prayer:
Father, I want to be so close that I can hear You whisper. I want to be so close that I can hear Your heartbeat. Forgive me for the times I’ve stood in the background, trying to stand on my tippy toes so that I could just catch a glimpse of You. I determine now and for the rest of my life to come close to You. To press in so I can hear directly from You, and I can see exactly what You’re doing. Thank you for this, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
