Thoughts
Psalm 139:17-18
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with thee.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with thee.
Promise #247: My thoughts toward you outnumber the sand on the seashore.
| Have you ever tried to count the number of grains of sand there are on a seashore? While it might be technically possible to do, I think it is very close to the realm of impossible. There is simply too much sand to be able to even begin to count each grain. King David in Psalm 139 makes a declaration that the thoughts of God toward him literally outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore. Basically I think what David was basically saying was that God is continually thinking of him! None stop... all the time! Now if we try to comprehend this in our human understanding, we will short circuit for sure because it does not seem possible that God would be constantly thinking of us. I am thankful that our God and Father is not limited to our own human limitations so He can do whatever He wants, however He wants to do it. My prayer for each one of us today is that we would become more aware of the longing in our Papa's heart for us. He is thinking about you RIGHT NOW! And right now, and right now again! Isn't that amazing? The God of the universe cannot stop thinking about you and me! May this life-changing truth sink deep down into the depths of our heart and transform us more and more on the inside. Photo by Barry Adams |

| Promise #206 - Wednesday July 25, 2012 Posted: 24 Jul 2012 09:02 PM PDT Buy photo download/Order print. Share this promise photo on Facebook. Deuteronomy 4:7 WEB For what great nation is there, that has a god so near to them, as Yahweh our God is whenever we call on him? Promise #206: I am near to you whenever you cry out. In this particular Bible verse, the nation of Israel is marvelling that there is no other nation on the earth that has a God that is so close to them that He is near whenever they cry out. What an advantage over every other nation of the day! They worshipped a God who was near and attentive to the cries of His people. And that was the Old Covenant relationship with God. In the New Covenant, God is even closer! He lives within those who have accepted the free gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. We are the very temple of the living God! He is closer to each one of us that we could possibly imagine. My prayer today is that each one of us would be aware of the tangible presence that dwells within us and that we would know that our God is really close to us when we cry out to Him.

Fasting- Re-Establish Your Priorities
So Pastor gave us a handout for our 1st fasting of the year. Now the night before I was googling the topic and came across several sites for 21 day fast and journals to print.
Free Printable Journals for use
Daniel Fast: Daniel 10:2-3
Fasting Do’s: Matthew 6:16-18
Fasting Don’ts: Matthew 6:16-18; Luke 18:9-14
Preparing to Fast: Mark 11:25; Luke 11:4; Romans 12:1-2
When to Fast: Matthew 9:14-15
Why Fast: Romans 12:1; Matthew 6:33; Mark 9:29; Isaiah 58:6; 1 Samuel 7:3; Luke 4:1-13
Corporate Fasting: I Samuel 7:5-6; 2 Chronicles 20:3-4; Esther 4:15-17; Ezra 8:21-23; Nehemiah 9:1-3; Joel 2:15-16; Jonah 3:5-10; Acts 27:33-37
Additional References: I Samuel 1:6-8, 17-18; Nehemiah 1:4; Daniel 9:3, 20; Joel 2:12; Luke 2:37, Acts 10:30; Acts 13:2
Remember, the details are not as important as the spirit with which you participate. It is the attitude of a heart diligently seeking Him to which God responds with blessing (Isaiah 58, Jeremiah 14:12, I Corinthians 8:8). May God bless you as you fast!
Full Fast – A fast abstaining from solid food but allowing for liquids (fruit or vegetable juice and/or broth). Some call this a “normal fast.” (You establish the number of days.) Drink water, and plenty of it (a good goal is a gallon a day).
Partial Fast – A limited fast consisting of abstaining from certain foods for a prolonged period of time or abstaining from all foods for a portion of the day (e.g., abstaining from eating before 3:00 P.M.). The Partial Fast is a good stepping stone to a Full Fast for those who have never fasted before.
There are many types of partial fasts. A few are listed below.
There is something you can do this month that will set the course for what God does in your life throughout 2012 — something that will bring you closer to God and release His supernatural wisdom, power and blessing into every area of your life.

From shades of grace
There are several types of fasts. The one you choose is between you and God. He will honor your best sacrifice.
What is a fast? Voluntarily abstaining from food for a spiritual purpose. Types of fasting can include:Full Fast – A fast abstaining from solid food but allowing for liquids (fruit or vegetable juice and/or broth). Some call this a “normal fast.” (You establish the number of days.) Drink water, and plenty of it (a good goal is a gallon a day).
Partial Fast – A limited fast consisting of abstaining from certain foods for a prolonged period of time or abstaining from all foods for a portion of the day (e.g., abstaining from eating before 3:00 P.M.). The Partial Fast is a good stepping stone to a Full Fast for those who have never fasted before.
There are many types of partial fasts. A few are listed below.
- Daniel Fast. This is the most frequently used example of a partial fast. Eat no meat, no sweets and no bread. Eat fruits and vegetables and drink water. Learn More
- Other types of partial fasts could include:
- Giving up one food item, such as caffeine or sweets.
- Giving up one meal & replacing that time with prayer. Vigilance is needed to ensure that the value of omitting the one meal is not offset by increasing the intake at others!
- Fast for a specific number of days – one day, three days, you decide.
- Fast from 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., or from sun-up to sundown. When doing this type of fast, consider your work and sleep schedule. The hours that you sleep should not be considered part of your fasting period.
- Along with fasting food, you might go on a “TV fast,” going without television at specific times. You might also fast other forms of technology as well. When you do this, use that time in prayer and the Word.
- If you have a health condition which prohibits you from a Full or Daniel fast, there are other options such as choosing something from your daily routine (i.e. specific foods, television, other technology, etc.) and fast in that manner. You could give up something else that might have control in your life or be preventing you from experiencing spiritual growth. Replace that time with prayer and study of God’s word.
There is something you can do this month that will set the course for what God does in your life throughout 2012 — something that will bring you closer to God and release His supernatural wisdom, power and blessing into every area of your life.
