40 days without Pistons basketball????
Dec 2, 2007
It was January of 2006 and our Pastor gave a 40 day challenge to us. What is the most important thing that you would give up for 40 days and instead spend that time pursuing God with all your heart. As I contemplated this it dawned on me the most important thing to me was Pistons basketball. I said yeah, I'll give that up for 40 days. This freed up about 6 hours a week. So I put my whole heart into pursuing God. I got into the Psalms and really sought an intimate relationship with the Lord. About three weeks latter I was telling God how much I wanted Him, and penned my first song "More of You". This exciting journey soon became 30 songs and the release of my first cd "More of You."
Sometimes we hold onto things thinking we cannot live without them. Even good things. There is nothing wrong with sports, our work, activities or whatever. It is when we put them ahead of pursuing a relationship with God. When we do that we find ourselves like the prodical son, we feed on the corn husks and find ourselves filled but not satisfied.
May God bless you as you passionately pursue Him.
John
