Daniel Fast 2012: Day Seventeen

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift. 2 Corinthians 9:15

Dear Family of God,
 
There are several things that a person can do to help in knowing and loving God. It could be different things for different people, but it all must lead us to Him in harmony with His Word. 
There are few things that speak to Jackie and me about God, His magnificence, His magnitude and His love any more that nature itself. We love to sit on our back porch, take a walk, take a bicycle ride or even better, a motorcycle ride and take in the grandeur of God. Noticing everything from the power of an ant to the power of a river and putting all of that in the context of God’s Word creates worship in the soul. 

There is one major enemy to doing this. TIME  If we don’t “make time” it won’t happen, or at least it won’t happen on a consistent enough basis. “Make the time, and your love for God and your knowledge of Him will increase 
dramatically.

In helping others in this area of knowing and loving God better, “example” is the best teacher. In pastoring a church, our people will not usually exceed the passion of the pastor. Their love for their spouses will not usually exceed the 
love of the leaders. The flock’s zeal will not usually exceed the zeal of the shepherd. More passion, love and zeal for God is caught rather than taught. We must teach it, but if we are not exemplifying it, we are a resounding gong 
and clanging symbols. We are all examples whether we like it or not. We might as well exert ourselves in the things of God and lead the way in passion, love and zeal. Otherwise we risk being lukewarm examples. You can do it. Together we can do it.

 We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! 

In Christ's Love,
