40 Days to a Better You! Day 8

January 8

Today is another great day to serve the Lord!

1) Please remember to choose something to stop doing. 

Whether it is.... 

- a bad habit

- a sin you have struggled with, or

- some kind of food or drink that you know is not good for you.

Whatever it is break free over this next 40 days

2) Keep reading Grace Walk and/or Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God

3) Get some kind of exercise - Go for a walk, park farther away from the store or the office. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Find some way to help you physical body work    harder and better for you.

4) Read the following Scripture and think and pray about it through out the day. See what revelation the Lord will give you about it for you day, week, year, or life.

Daniel 11:32

"but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."

What great exploits do you think God has planned for you? Don't just think about the future, think about today!

5) Please pray about the following items

In the Lord's prayer we are told to ask first for our daily bread

- Pray today and everyday during our fast, a prayer of thanksgiving to God for what He has done for you!

- Pray for your health blessings that the Lord will continue to keep you and your family in great health! Many are battling various flu bugs, sinus infections, bronchitis and so much more. Diseases do not determine God's will but we can believe God for an overcoming health blessing to fall on each of us and the church as a whole! Lay hands on and pray for thosein your household who are not well and let's believe together for healing!

- Pray for those who serve in the House of Representatives. Both those in the State and Federal houses need our prayers. They are the ones closest to representing every individual. Their terms of office are only two years so they must spend the first half focusing on serving you and me and the second half preparing for election. This is a thankless job that really must be about serving the people. Pray that they are led by the Holy Spirit to do great things.

         - Pray for the spirit of Kindness to take a primary role in our culture. Kindness is really a true concern for others. When we are kind to others we reap as much benefit from our kindness as the people we are kind to. Try a random act of kindness today. Randomly help someone who you have no connection to today, buy someones lunch in line behind you, shovel someone's drive or walk, back someone something, I am sure there are many other ideas you could come up with!
