Day 10
Has the initial excitement of the 60/60 experiment begun to wane yet? It has for me. So, I need to remind myself that the Soul Revolution is not about living on excitement and hype, but about slowly learning how to adopt a new way of daily living. Changing habits always takes time - and a certain amount of discipline. Learning the habit of intentionally relating to God hour by hour is no exception. We will have our ups and downs. So, if you are losing the initial stir that's connected with beginnning something new, it's OK. Don't let it worry you, and don't become discouraged. Regroup and keep at it. Every change is hard before it becomes easy. And remember, its worth the effort because what we are doing has the potential to revolutionize our souls. Have a good revolution day!
Blessings,
Pastor Bill

I admit that I am losing focus. This weekend, I didn't pay too much attention to the beeps. I wondered this morning if I should continue. The devil was telling me quite a bit about why I should hang it up.
"There's no real purpose to it."
"You're an outsider."
"There's too many other things that need to be done."
"You're a quitter. If you don't quit now, you will soon enough."
But amongst those thoughts and others, I heard an even quieter still voice and it just said..."Keep going." So I prayed for a little help and renewed my committment. I guess this committment is something that has to be renewed every day as we are told in Romans 12:1 - 2. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
So let's keep going.
