40 Days to Spiritual Reset

Imagine working for the Lord all your life, only to come face to face with a frowning Jesus at the last day. That's a terrifying thought for any Christian looking forward to spending forever with our Lord. But that's the dire reality that many of us may face one day. Most of us started out on fire for the Lord, but after ten, twenty, thirty, forty years serving in God's vineyard, some are simply churched out. There's no more passion. We are no longer excited to pray, fast or read our Bibles. In fact, some of us say a few words to the Lord, only because we feel obligated to. There is no zeal behind it. This is when you know you need a reset. A complete overhaul of your spiritual life in Christ. 40 Days to Spiritual Reset was created for this very reason. In this book, you will find forty devotional pieces that will guide you through a day-to-day restoration process that will bring you back into full fellowship and communion with the Holy Ghost. It is imperative that we get back to that place where we fit our life schedule in God, and not God in our schedule.

Everyone has a story, and we are all competing to see who can tell the worst one yet, for it means more likes and more views for us on social media. The downside to this is that it makes those who are true victims of terrible circumstances get drowned out in the noise. King Saul was a man who loved to play the victim game as well. After being rejected by God for His disobedience, he constantly wanted everyone around him to pity him. In the verse mentioned above, he told his servants that they had all conspired against him, simply because they hadn't told him David was in town. Young David had been anointed king in his stead, and Saul was intent on killing him before that could ever happen. He expected all of Israel to be on board with this wicked thing, no questions asked. But even his own heir, Jonathan, protected David from him. The real victim in the story was David, who was forced out of his own home and country by a selfish king, and was on the run for his life.Only self-serving, narcissistic people blame others for the things they did. In this period of reset, let us be sure to not play the blame game whenever we are in the wrong. It's a trait of our sin nature to put the blame on someone else, but if we only place our hearts before God, He will change us and make us new from the inside out. The truth is, even narcissists can be saved!A prayer: Lord Jesus, touch my heart, cleanse me and save me from my sin nature. Help me to not play the victim card when I'm in the wrong, but seek forgiveness instead, in Jesus' name, Amen.
