Wide-Eyed Wonder (21 Days of Fasting and Prayer)

HARI KE 1 DARI 21

FOREWORD

God does not see as we do. His ways are higher, better than ours. His thoughts are not like our thoughts. We do not always think good thoughts or right thoughts. Sometimes we face doubts, fears, and unbelief or lose sight of God’s goodness when we face challenges. And sometimes we go through the daily grind, not expecting anything good can happen.

As we seek God, we can expect Him to give us fresh perspectives of who He is, how He perceives us, and how we should perceive our situations. Everything changes when we allow God to exchange our thoughts and ways for His. From day to day, week to week, and season to season, we can live the abundant life He promised!

Each week of this devotional focuses on different aspects.

In Week 1: Hunger, we allow God to stir up a new hunger in us and believe that God wants to show and give us something new, something we have never seen or had before.

In Week 2: Change My Heart, we zero in on areas that need change, asking God to replace and remove perspectives, attitudes, or mindsets that are holding us back.

In Week 3: Open My Eyes to the Good Things Ahead, we position ourselves to receive fresh faith, fresh fire, new encouragement, and expectation of God’s good things.

At the end of each week, we meditate on all God has spoken to apply and consolidate what we have received from Him.

So we invite you to join us on this exciting journey. As we go through this devotional, we believe God will open our eyes to see His goodness in every area of our lives. He will give us supernatural strength and lead us into the new year with faith and confidence.

THERE IS MORE

Overview

No matter how much of God we have experienced, there is still more.

Observations

Every day our senses are overwhelmed with new information. Ideas, images, news, rumours, and experiences fill our lives and give us our worldview. But God is far beyond this world, His ways are far beyond our understanding, and His purpose is beyond what we can imagine. And His promise to us is that He reveals His purpose through the Holy Spirit.

We cannot just be content with what we have experienced or understand in our natural perception. There is more! More than God desires to do, more that God wants to speak, and more that He desires to pour out on us. Paul states in this verse that God’s purpose for us is unthinkable – beyond what has even entered our hearts – that God desires to open our eyes and show us that very purpose.

You are part of that purpose and promise. Your life is not excluded. God desires to reveal to us His heart and ways. Let this be the beginning of the pursuit to receive all God has for us. Let this promise sink into your heart that God has more for you, and He is ready to reveal it.

Response

As we begin this 21-day journey, let us commit our lives to seek God for “more.” Ask Him for a new hunger and understanding of Him that He hasn’t revealed to us.

Prayer

Father, I thank You for Your great love and the purpose You have given to me. Help me pursue You and desire to know more of what You have in store for me. Today, would you reveal Your purpose? Open my eyes to see more of what You want to show me so I can follow You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
