This morning i had the privilege of signing many of the Small Group Covenant forms. With each form i signed, i prayed that God would use the 40 Days in the Word time to open the heart and mind of each participant. I know that God is working through His word, and He will accomplish what He intends. It is with anxious anticipation that I await to see what God is going to do in the lives of His people here at Immanuel.
The first 5 days of study and prayer has truly been a Spirit filled time of letting the Word of Christ dwell in me richly. Please don't let the things of this world, the sinful flesh or even Satan convince you that you don't have time to do your daily reading and prayer. The gold mine of His riches are just beneath the surface and waiting to be discovered.
A couple of practical thoughts. Put your workbook in a conspicuous place before you go to bed at night; on the bathroom sink, on the coffee maker, or on your TV remote. Doing this before hand is reminding yourself that you have determined ahead of time to do your daily reading and prayer. Another idea is to find a "scared" space for your devotional time. Someplace away from distractions and comfortable.
Lastly, I was told that the workbook is available for the Kindle and iPad, as an ebook. The cost is $9. I downloaded mine and found it extremely handy to have with me all the time on my iPad. There are also built in hyperlinks that allow the user to jump to the daily video devotion without leaving your work book.
God grant you His blessings as you continue the 40 Days In the Word. (i can wait for tomorrow's lesson)
