Breakthrough Fast 2010 – Day 4 "Grace for the Moment"

I was busy at work yesterday and needed to put in some family time last night. So I am quickly writing this morning about yesterday. Simply, all was well.

I’m glad to report that I am spending more time in personal bible reading, prayer and meditation. Usually I am reading to write a paper, a bible study or a sermon. But I am seeing how important it is for me to have my own personal prayer time. That is why I am committed to reading the entire bible this year. There are many daily bibles and devotional tools to choose from. I am using Grace for the Moment - Daily Bible by Max Lucado. He is one of my favorite writers. (http://www.amazon.com/Grace-Moment-Daily-Bible-reading/dp/0718018001) When I think about having an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ --- this season of fasting has reminded me that it begins and ends with spending time with the Lord. Therefore, make time to spend with God. Make prayer and meditation a priority in your life. I believe it is through our daily studying of God’s Word that spiritual growth and healing occurs. And it is through our prayer life that the Holy Spirit anoints us with a fresh portion of God’s grace. That is why the Psalmist wrote: “We are your (God’s) people, the sheep of your (God’s) flock.” Psalm 79:13 God is waiting to hear from you.

Let me give a shout-out to a few people ---the Willis Sistas, Tabatha, Angela, Kim, Ann-Marie, Sam and Monique, my mother, Gran, The Breakthrough Family and of course the queen of the house, Jennifer. Thank you for taking this spiritual journey with me.
