MAKING SPACE: NOVEMBER 4 – NOVEMBER 27
Posts every Wednesday and Friday: Reflect on how to use fasting to make more space for God in your life. God made a space in His world for us. Make space in the morning and enjoy intimacy with Him. Make space in your schedule to breathe and be refreshed by Him. Make space in the moment and better reflect God to others. Make space in your conversations with others and learn how to listen like He does. Make space in your commitments so that you can say Yes! to the things He wants you to do.
COMING NEXT! A SEASON OF HARVEST: DECEMBER 2 – DECEMBER 22
Daily posts: Fasting from physical food promotes hungering for more of God. And God hungers for a soul harvest, which is why He sent Jesus as a baby, just like food grows from small seeds. He was nurtured by His parents and by His Father in heaven. “He kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” (Luke 2:52) He came to spiritually harvest all the seed-planting that we do, because He is the Lord of the Harvest (Luke 10:2). And He responds with magnificent joy to the finding of each lost one who is saved to grow in Him (Matthew 18:13). Explore what it means to plant seeds for His harvest, especially during this season of celebrating the birth of Jesus.
