5/63. When meditating throughout the morning, challenged me into spending more time with Lord before I start my day. This was a good discipline for me because I needed to not frantically rush to get up but to spend time with the Lord. This made me feel more rejuvenated and prepared for my day to begin.

Reilly states in his article for aspiring novelists, “First-person perspective is writing from the point of view of your narrator, putting across the world as they see it” (Reilly). While first person narration puts the reader in the narrator’s head, this point of view has multiple advantages and disadvantages. When talking
The Spiritual Disciplines: Door to Liberation Spiritual Discipline has become an affirmed necessity to who we are and what we should model to those around us. We are called to move from the shallow end of the pool to the deep end so we may “explore the inner caverns of the spiritual realm,” as Foster shared in Celebration of Discipline (Foster 1).

the Old Testament chapters assigned this week, wisdom was clearly displayed through the life of Job. The Lord proclaimed to Satan in Job 1:8 what a “perfect” and “upright man” Job was, “one that fears the Lord.” Satan answered the Lord saying that Job was only good because he had been blessed with so much.

because it talks about, “The Great Judgment Day of God”. The “Great judgment Day of God” is also known as the “Day of the Lord” and his payday. I see it as the day everyone will have to pay for his or her consequences for not listening to the lord. For those who have not followed God’s commandants, that day will be dark and frightening.
