The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part OneSample

Daily Reflection: Psalm 1 paints a direct contrast between those who are blessed and those who are wicked. In truth, the answer is much more straightforward than one would expect. The difference between the righteous and the unrighteous is their relationship with the word of God. The Lord provides insight into his divine will through his will, and he has given his family the means to receive it. Whether it be through the holy scriptures or the Holy Spirit, the word of God is a lamp unto the feet of his family. Not only will it lead you down a path of righteousness, but it will provide blessings beyond comprehension.

Daily Demonstration: Congratulations! Today is the last day of the fast. It is essential to reflect upon all that you have learned in this season, while also staying intentional to keep the righteous path ahead of you. One very important means by which you can do this is through the word of God. In what ways do you currently utilize the word of God? By the mere fact that you are reading this, you embrace the scriptures through daily devotion. Even so, how can you take your relationship with the word to the next level? Maybe begin to do your daily reading in community. Perhaps you could spend time in prayer throughout the day. No matter the case, ask God to help you better your relationship with his word – the result will undoubtedly astound you. Take the principles you have demonstrated in this season through fasting and carry them into the next.
