Good Morning Beauties!
Welcome to our final day of preparation. We’ve set our expectations, created action plans for any obstacles, and now we determine our motivation for entering into this 40 Day Journey. Everyone will have a different answer, and all are right!
If we look at the word motivation from the word motivate we find, “the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.” Synonyms include: enthusiasm, drive, ambition, initiative, determination and sense of purpose.
I’ve taken the 40 Day Journey several times now, and each time has been special. Today when looking at my motivation to take another trip, I sensed the Lord was wanting me to look back at all He has done for me, especially when I first knew Him. What a life change that was! Like a new romance, I couldn’t get enough time with Him. I spent every minute I could in His Word, worshipping Him, singing and dancing. I was in love!
The wonderful thing is, I am still in love. Today I am renewing the romance with my Jesus. The intimacy we share will be my motivation to get up early every morning and spend precious moments with Him. It’s what He desires more than anything - us coming before Him, hearts wide open to have a love exchange.
What about you? What is it that will keep you interested and enthused to keep going on your journey when things get tough, busy, or you feel lazy? Selah. Please take time to write down your motivation in your journal as you may need to remind yourself on those difficult days.
I worshipped today with one of my favorite songs from that special time of “first love.” I’ve included the link to the song below. Enjoy!
I Could Sing of Your Love Forever - Martin Smith, Delirious

“I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself.”
