Day 21

So you are almost done with the fast... how are you doing? No really, answer that question... HOW ARE YOU DOING?

That's one of those questions we ask people but do we really want to know. i think sometimes we aren't sure if we want to know how we ourselves are doing. We are our own worst critics.

The past few days, I have spent some time with some high school students (and a few Jr. Highers) in the midwest. And you know what? They are just like everyone else. They laugh. They cry. They make jokes. They have fun. They get tired... but you know what was different... they weren't on the fast. I shared with them how you all were doing this Secular Media fast and they were shocked. In fact, one of the questions they asked me was, "how are they doing?" And that got me to thinking... how are they doing?

And by "how are you doing", I mean that I want to know how is your pursuit of improving your relationship with God going? Are you finding time to spend with Him? Are you getting into the Word? Are you praying? Are you talking about your time with God with your friends?

For the last few days of the fast, you will see some other people's devos but I want to challenge you to get your Bible out and read through the book of 1 John. Take a look at each day's reading. Pick out a verse that sticks out to you. Meditate on it. Write it on a note-card. Post it everywhere you can...

TODAY'S READING: 1 JOHN 1
