Day 3 of the 21 Day Fast

Day three was a very productive day for me in the office.  No stopping for an hour lunch could be part of the reason.  My prayer, Bible study and meditation times are becoming very enjoyable.

I am convinced that the joy of the spiritual disciplines is all but lost for most Christians.  Our prayer times should be bathed is joyful peace.  Meditation has been hijacked by mid-eastern religions and new age philosophers.  Christian Meditation is a wonderful spiritual discipline that very little is written or spoken of nowadays.

Television is not a bad word but apart from  disciplined prayer, bible study and meditative Christian discipline can actually infiltrate and drive a persons thinking.

We are learning machines built by God to absorb our and learn from our surroundings.  Any input mechanism whether a parent as we are learning to talk, or a Television Set makes an indelible mark on the mental miracle that God placed within our heads. 

What we watch, hear, feel, taste  and even smell forever influences us from the time that we contact them.  To think that one can spend countless hours with something and not have that instrument make a contribution to who we are is a little simple minded.

As Christians, we MUST spend time in the Word of God and in Prayer and in quiet places of thought and spiritual Christian meditation.

My Prayer Today

Dear Father God;  Help me to find your places of prayer and Spiritual Christian times of Meditation with you more and more enjoyable and beneficial to my thoughts and my life with you.  Help me to spend such awesome times with you that I greatly dislike the times that I am unable to spend with you.  In Jesus Name I pray.  I believe: AMEN
