Why 21 Days?


I had this question yesterday: Why 21 days? Well there is no definitive answer to that. Here is my thinking...

It takes about 3 weeks (21days) to set a new habit. If our goal is to draw closer to God, not just now but continually, 21 days makes sense. In Daniel chapter 10, Daniel was waiting for a word from the Lord. So he fasted for 21 days before the Angel of the Lord could breakthrough to him. Do you need a breakthrough? I do. So it's 21 days for me and I did not want to go it alone. So that's how we came to 21 days.

Today I am preparing for Sunday -Destiny- God has a vision for each of us, a great destiny. He also has a destiny for us to live out as a church. To be relevant and life changing through the power of Jesus Christ in our community. It happens everyday one person at a time.

I have been over spicing my cooking. What do you do with a big pot of potato soup that tastes like a pepper mill? anyone? anyone?

Oh well. I will eat it anyway, but I might be the only one.

God thank you, I am closer to you today then I was last week, how wonderful it feels. My desire is a greater intimacy with you and you are meeting me right at the point of my need.

I have a lunch meeting today so finding a place to meet for lunch is a little tricky. But where there is a commitment there is a way.

I'm glad to be on this journey with you.
