The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Day 1 - "Your Basic Desire"

Tools: Bible, pen, notebook or pad.

Goal - Determine what you would like to be at the center of your being ( for example: "To be a fully devoted disciple" "Holiness" "To live out the Great Commission every day"). Keep it concise.

Question: What do you consider to be the goal of your life?

Scripture: Read Psalm 139 thoughtfully, looking for ways this passage might help you determine your basic desire. Then read John 15:1-17.

Response: Ask the Lord to help you determine your basic desire and to confirm it. Ask God to help you increase your self-understanding.

Prayer Take a few moments to thank the Lord for guiding you through these passages and for helping you determine your basic desire. Ask the Lord to help you understand yourself better.

Sharing: If you feel bold enough, share with us what God has laid on your heart as your basic desire.

FYI - This devotional is inspired by the book Developing Intimacy with God by Alex Aronis, a former pastor of mine. While we will not be going as in depth as the book, we will be using it's basic structure. Thank you Alex for your influence in my life and for this book.
