GET TO KNOW YOU - PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Think back to day 67 and 68. Recall your pathway. Today spend time investing in your pathway in whatever way you see best. Of anyone on this earth you know yourself best, so invest in your relationship with God in the way he designed you to today.

Day 91 - February 1st

SERVICE/SUBMISSION

There is a service in being served. In the scripture John 13, Peter found it very difficult to allow Jesus to wash his feet:

'He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

⁷Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

⁸"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet."

Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me." '

This week, actively allow someone to serve you. It could be where you find it difficult to submit control over a task, to trust and allow that person to serve.

Day 90 - January 31st

SOLITUDE

Spend some time today by yourself. Remove any distractions. During this time write a letter to yourself containing both encouragements and challenges. Put this letter in a self addressed envelope and give it to a trusted friend. Ask them to post this letter to you in a couple of months or so. When you receive it, spend some time reflecting on the challenges and encouragements.

STUDY

Share with a friend(s) a bible verse that has encouraged/ challenged you in some way. The sharing of scripture has such a powerful effect of bringing it to life as we see how these words have affected our lives.

FASTING

How did you find fasting the last time round? It is a difficult thing to do if you are not well practiced. Pick the best day this week again, when you are not too active, and fast for the whole day. Ignore the cries of your stomach, they are much like the cried of a spoiled child. Starvation does not kick in until around 2weeks of no food so a day is little! Do drink water.

This discipline will come around once a month in this challenge. If you feel you can do it more often then great. If, for health reasons you feel you cannot then no worries. Perhaps replace this discipline with cutting out something else in your life such as a TV programme.

SIMPLICITY

Watch this video. This is a good video with a real challenge. We fill our lives with so much and can be so busy all the time. Busyness can be deceptive, it can even be that we are so busy with God's work. But God did not call us to be busy, he called us to be fruitful. Think about that today and maybe do a little less filling and little more clearing!
