Hi
This is the first installment in the monthly devotional project, SEVENS. Each month, on the 7th, you will be asked to do something for God. It will be something different each month, but the goal each time will be for us to spend time with God, to grow, and to reach others.

Okay, here we go.

SEVENS. October 7, 2007.

You may have heard the acrostic A.C.T.S. used as a means of teaching people ways to pray: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Over the next four days, slowly read (and reread) the scriptures for each day. Soak them in. Then do your best to have a conversation with God using these four "conversation starters." Throughout your day, take these thoughts with you and let them direct your attitude. Allow the Word and your time with God to affect your daily life.

Day one.
Hebrews 12:28-29
God, I ADORE you because...

Day two.
First John 1:9
God, I CONFESS to you...

Day three.
First Thessalonians 5:18, Revelation 11:16-17
God, I THANK you because...

Day four.
First Timothy 2:1-8
God, this is what is on my heart...

It seems like a pretty simple project, but really... consider what it takes for us to give our whole selves to God. This is no simple thing. I pray success for you.
