Journey Day 1

Today is day one of my kind of 50 day spiritual journey. I'm actually using this blog as my accountability partner. David has also jumped on board the journey with me.

Prayer Time - One Hour

Bible Time - Read Acts 1 Amplified Version

Scripture - Acts 1:7 He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time brings [the things and events of time and their definite periods] or fixed years and seasons (their critical niche in time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice and authority and personal power.

Scripture Reflection - As Christians we get caught up in this whole time thing. We are fascinated with prophecy and trying to figure out when Jesus is "coming back". Or what season God has us in...whether we should be doing this or that right now. Should I go with the opportunity before me or is it right.

God has all that lined out. He knows your past, present, and future. Our true responsibility is living in close relationship with Him and fulfilling the mission He has for us. The neat thing about God is that it sometimes doesn't work out as we see it. I am the type of person who likes to have it all planned out. God often through's a monkey wrench into my plans just to keep me seeking Him.

Book Reading - Visioneering Chapter 6

Book Reflection - Since God has the perfect view of our life and where we are going it is vital for us to be in close communion with Him. There are many times we have a vision and we see how we might get there. The real truth about it is that few destinations have only one point of access. There are many alternatives to living out the vision you feel God has laid on your heart. I think this is where I have come to over the past three months.

I have a vision to DOMINATE the Coastal Bend area with the life of Christ. There is more than one way for that to happen. Often we get caught up in how we picture it. I am willing though to lay down something I truly love to allow God to make that vision a reality in this area.

My Prayer - Lord, this is your vision and your responsibility to make it happen. I am just one small part of how you want to do it. I'd rather be a small part of something big...than a big part of something small.
