Good Morning Beauties!
Thank you for joining me here for the last day of preparation. You're already showing great dedication to your journey. The past two days we've looked at expectation and obstacles, and today we ponder motivation.
Do you have previous experiences in talking with God? In hearing from Him? In receiving revelation knowledge from Him? Or is this "hearing from God" thing new to you? It's really very easy; there's no mystery. God desires nothing greater than to be in relationship with you and has provided prayer as a way to communicate with Him; simply talking to Him and waiting to hear what He has to say. I'm not referring to audibly hearing from God, but He will give you impressions deep in your spirit of what He wants you to know.
God is infinite, and no matter where we are in our current relationship with Him, we can always grow deeper. Any good relationship takes time and commitment from both parties. It takes honesty and openness to flourish.
Are you ready to go deeper with God? Are you hungry for more of Him? When you're extra sleepy on day 15, and you're thinking about skipping your time with Him, what will get you out of bed and excited to meet your King? Here is where you need to dig deep and check your true motivation. Take time to "selah" these questions today.
God has so much love for each one of us, and has blessing in store as we walk with Him on our 40 Day Journey. Thanks for preparing. You won't regret the work.
Here’s my prayer for us as we think about our relationship with God and all that awaits us. Lord God, let this description of the Bride and Bridegroom from Your Word be the picture of our intimate dance with our King.
“Arise, my darling!
Come quickly, my beloved.
Come and be the graceful gazelle with me.
Come be like a dancing deer with me.
We will dance in the high place of the sky,
yes, on the mountains of fragrant spice.
Forever we shall be united as one!”
~ Song of Solomon 8:14 The Passion Translation
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
