Four “Logs” to Increase Fire for God
Devotion: Pursue God first.
Enemy of Devotion: Distraction
ACTION PLAN: God’s sanctuary is wherever we experience God. Is there a place in your home where you normally spend with God during your quiet time with him? If it’s a place with a lot of distractions, find a new place where you can focus your attention on God. Make a choice this week to pursue God by creating a sanctuary in your home.
Delight: Enjoy God’s presence.
Enemy of Delight: Duty
ACTION PLAN: Delighting in God is living in His presence. God is with you all the time, so to delight in Him, you bring yourself to the point of being always aware of His presence. To experience a personal 15-minute audio retreat that explores how to delight ourselves in God, listen to the latest episode of The Well Podcast: “Delight”.
Desperation: Cling to God’s hand.
Enemy of Desperation: Self-Sufficiency
Dependence: Doing life with others
Enemy of Dependence: Isolation
ACTION PLAN: God does not want you to be alone. From Genesis 2:18, we see that the Lord makes a helper that is suitable to Adam. We are beginning hundreds of new small groups so that as a church we can go through the “One Life” campaign together. If you are not in a small group, follow this link: www.saddleback.com/onelife to join a small group or to start one.
