Daily Disciplines for a Burning Heart

Daily Disciplines for a Burning Heart
Recall Dr. Brandon’s testimony in his message for this week concerning his daily pursuit of a burning heart:
I want to tell you a personal secret. This is a spiritual goal for my life every day. When I falter or fail to experience this, the day lacks freedom, freshness and fullness until I do.
We need to let every day be a day in His presence, whoever we are. In Psalm 27 David says, "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord (which really means His presence), all the days of my life (which means every single day, this very day, and even this moment), to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple."
Then Dr. Brandon challenged us with these practical, daily disciplines necessary in order to have the consistent experience of a burning heart.
• Make this your priority every day.
• Make it your love relationship with the Lord.
• Be willing to get up early enough for this to happen.
• Let this be a special appointment with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
• Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him—do not rush!
• Prayerfully meditate on God’s word every morning.
• Trust Him for His presence living in you, and thank Him for a burning heart!
Read Romans 12:1-2. As you read these verses will you present yourself to the Lord to seek Him daily for a burning heart of loving fellowship with Christ? By His grace and depending on His strength, join many other Marketplace Chaplains and staff in making this commitment for the remainder of our "40 Days with the Master" emphasis. Pray for your fellow Chaplains and other MChapUSA staff in their pursuit of Christ.
