Hi Guys! Well, here we are on day 10 of our 40 days of fasting and Bible reading. Chad and I created this blog as a place where we can all post how we are doing with the fast and the reading as well as share any insights and encouragement we may have for one another. We understand that this is not easy, it is a lot of reading and what a hard season to be fasting when there seems to be food everywhere! Now is the time to stay disciplined! You may have figured out the hard way (as I have) that if you get behind by a day or two, it's tough to catch up! Don't lose heart, however, if you find yourself behind by several days, just start where you left off and go for it!
So I just finished reading Galatians and I was struck by the fact that the whole letter is about FAITH and living by the SPIRIT. Something fun to do is take a highlighter or colored pencil and mark all the times you see these two words in this letter...it is amazing! I love how Paul just lays things out so clearly...no sugar-coating here! The verse that stuck out the most to me was Galatians 6:8 which says "The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life." Wow! The goal of our whole Christian walk it to learn how to live by the Spirit.
We would love to hear what the Lord has been teaching you through His Word, so please post any "nuggets" (as PChad says) that you have discovered. Remember, we are all in this together! His Word is so rich, let it nourish you daily.
