Good Morning Beauties!
Congratulations! You are half way through your journey. Let that soak in. Every day, for 20 days, you have placed yourself before God and allowed Him to reveal lies you’ve held on to - some for years. You’ve been willing to let God show you some painful things as He showed you truth. Look how far you’ve come with the Lord. AMAZING!!
Today is a great day to reflect on the success of your journey so far. Success as defined only by you. The best way I’ve found to do it is to review your expectations, obstacles with action plans, and your motivation. Your journal probably has lots of notes about these three topics, so just look back and determine how this experience is going for you. What’s going well that you’ll want to continue? Are there any changes you need to make? Selah.
The purpose of the 40 Day Journey is life transformation. You may see small changes or large ones. Everyone will have a different experience. No matter what the changes have been, let’s pray with our Father today. We give Him thanks for the revelation He’s given us in theses first 20 days, and we also ask Him for even more revelation in the last 20 days.
What does life transformation look like? Isaiah 61:1-3 provides a perfect description of how Christ came to give us new life.
“1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.”
~ New International Version
When we reflect on all He’s done for us, we can’t help but praise Him. Our joy and praise is the perfect weapon against further attacks from the enemy. Let’s lift our voices and praise God with our whole hearts!
