STILL
"BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!" PSALM 46:10
DAILY PRACTICE
WE CAN EXPERIMENT WITH STILLNESS AND SILENCE BY PURPOSEFULLY NOT LISTENING TO OUR CAR RADIOS OR MUSIC AS WE DRIVE OR RIDE THE BUS OR SUBWAY. THESE MODES OF TRANSPORT WILL BECOME MOBILE PLACES OF STILLNESS WHERE WE CAN ENTER THE QUIETNESS WITH GOD IN THE MIDST OF THE DAILY RUSH. REMIND YOURSELF THAT GOD MEETS YOU IN SILENCE.
LOVE
"LET US LOVE, NOT IN WORD OR SPEECH, BUT IN TRUTH AND ACTION"
1JOHN 3:18
DAILY PRACTICE
ASK FOR GOD'S DIRECTION IN TAKING SMALL STEPS OF LOVE TODAY.
BEGIN WITH YOUR CLOSEST NEIGHBORS OR THOSE WITH WHOM YOU LIVE AND THEN INCLUDE EACH PERSON WHO CROSSES YOUR PATH TODAY. CONSCIOUSLY FILL THE DAY WITH THE LIGHT OF LOVING DEEDS, HOWEVER SMALL, WHERE EVER YOU GO.
LIGHT
"AGAIN JESUS SPOKE TO THEM SAYING, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE"
JOHN 8:12
DAILY PRACTICE
LIGHT A CANDLE IN A WORKING SPACE OR SOMEWHERE IN YOUR HOME AS A REMINDER OF THE GOOD NEWS OF JOHN 8:12. ASK YOURSELF, WHAT ARE THE DARK AREAS IN MY LIFE? BRING THESE AREAS TO THE LIVING CHRIST AND LET THE LIGHT OF CHRIST THAT THE DARKNESS HAS NEVER EXTINGUISHED SHINE IN.
SEE
"THOUGH I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE"
JOHN 9:25
DAILY PRACTICE
LOOK OUT YOUR WINDOW TODAY AT GOD'S CREATION. LET YOUR EYES FOCUS ON SOMETHING OF BEAUTY. LOOK AT THE PEOPLE YOU MEET TODAY AND SEE IN THIER FACES THE BEAUTY OF THEIR GOD-GIVEN UNIQUENESS. GIVE THANKS THROUGHOUT THE DAY FOR THE GIFTOF NEW EYES THAT CHRIST GIVES US.
ASK
"ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN"
MATTHEW 7:7
DAILY PRACTICE
ASK FORHELP EITHER FROM GOD OR FROM A TRUSTED FRIEND IN SOMETHING TODAY ABOUT WHICH YOU ARE STRUGGLING AND ANXIOUS.
WORDS
"I TELL YOU, ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, YOU WILL HAVE TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD YOU UTTER"
DAILY PRACTICE
MAKE TODAY A LENTEN BLESSING DAY. CONSCIOUSLY USE WORDS IN WAYS THAT HEAL, BUILD UP AND ENCOURAGE. SEEK TO DO THIS IN AS MANY CONVERSATIONS AS YOU CAN DURING THE DAY.
SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT READ MARK 3:19-27
"JESUS CALLED THEM TO HIM, AND SPOKE TO THEM IN PRARABLES. HOW CAN SATAN CAST OUT SATAN/IF A KINGDOM IS DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, THAT KINGDOM CANNOT
STAND"
