Devotion - On Your Mark

This past Sunday we talked about Devotion (committed love) for the Lord. Jesus shared three primary ways for us to show our devotion in His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Specifically we looked at Matthew 6:2, 5, 16 where he talked about giving, praying and fasting.

As a result, members and attendees of Journey are invited to join in a 21 Day Fast. Knowing that many would have to plan for it, there was not start time given. Some began on Monday. Whenever you'd like to start would be great.

Here is a partial prayer list to get you started.

Personal Renewal & Needs

Journey Renewal
A Rekindled passion for Jesus, His Church & its mission
Renewed commitment to invest & invite
Numerical and conversion growth
Financial/Budget needs

Provision of the needed funds for lease and improvements
Elders & Staff

Vinny - Journey Students
Kyle & Heidi (potential worship pastor): pray for God's will to be made clear in their lives.

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." Romans 8:37 (NIV)
That cheesecake does look good. The Mexican chips and dip are irresistible. It is a special night. I can start again on Monday.

It is so tempting to give in. Set things in reverse. Pretend it won't matter. But it does matter and not just for the physical or mental set back. It's the denial of a fundamental spiritual truth that will make our healthy eating plan fall apart time and time again. What is this truth? We were made for more than this. More than this failure, more than this cycle, more than being ruled by taste buds - we were made for victory. Sometimes we just have to find our way to that truth.

Dear Lord, I was made for more than getting stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I trust You and want to acknowledge You in ALL my ways. Help me to remember I was made for more with each choice I make. In Jesus' Name, Amen
