Habits of Jesus Day 21: Go
God said to Isaiah, Who will go? And Isaiah said, “I’ll go!” In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, sitting on a throne, and the train of His robe was filling the temple. Above Him were worshiping angels, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their…

New Habits 6: Recovery
Because you have spent such intimate time with Him during your 30 Day Fast, you have already jump-started whatever recovery might be needed during this season of your life.

Fast Day 23: Full
We are fasting so that we recognize how God longs to feed us from His heritage, the land of milk and honey (Isaiah 58:14)! He has created a promised land of true Life for us. It is full of things that are good to feast on, that give us strength and that will fully satisfy…

Fast Prep Day 1: God’s Fast
My post-COVID-19 journey led me to stop, as it did so many others, and God led me to meditate on Isaiah 58. It initiated an intimate dialogue with God about fasting and how this spiritual habit adds to His kingdom and His harvest (Matthew 9:37-38)! Let’s dig into this passage together and my hope is…

A Season of Harvest Day 21: Response to Harvest
The baby Jesus was sent by God to become the Lord of the Harvest which He planned to do from the beginning of time. God wants our participation as workers in His harvest (Matthew 9:38). In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, sitting on a throne, and the…
