Devotional Life in WT_Day 1




Week One: John Wesley, Man of Devotion


Day 1: Man of Challenge


Reflecting and Recording


  1. Go back and read Wesley’s quotation that begins today’s reading. What part of it strikes you the most? Why do you believe this speaks to you now?

  2. What is the significance in the difference between having a devotional time and living a devotional life? Which kind of devotion comes nearer to describing where you are right now?

  3. Wesley found his devotional challenge in the two great commandments (Matt. 22:37-40). How do these words challenge you in your spiritual formation?

  4. If purity of intention is a key to vital spirituality, what do you really want from your devotional life? What do you really intend to bring to it?


Relating


Jot down some notes to remind you of when your devotional life was most satisfying.

What made it so? Are these things still in place, or do you sense God’s challenge to renew your spirituality?

Never having learned the daily practice of reading the Bible or praying as a young person, I think I am at an advantage here. Today my daily practice is a choice. And because it's a choice, it's more meaningful.


I live a devotional life today. It started off intentionally, but it has now become a part of who I am. It is difficult sometimes to love the Lord with all my mind because my own thoughts get in the way. And it is at those times that my spirituality is challenged.


I want to not only live a spiritually devotional life, but also to share it with my words and example.

Day 1 . The part that strikes me most and speaks to me now . John Wesley had to belief the daily prayer and spiritual devotion, were essential in bring us closer to God.

I believe this to be true, as I am practicing daily devotions for the second time in my life .

2. In doing this you must take the time for spiritual devotion, But it’s more than just taking the time, it’s also about being devotional all the time. being present with God an all time. 

3, Mathew22:37-40

Yes, I think is the foundation on which John Wesley based all of the daily devotion living, and devotional life on . To love our Lord God.

Laws in the Bible.


My thoughts are this. God has put laws for mankind follow. He did this a lot through Moses. And he continues to do it throughout the rest of the Bible. Because we can see , he gives the law , we break it . He gives another one we break it. He gives another, and we continue to go through the cycle. I think it’s human nature as they say..


I am really glad that God doesn’t give up on us. That he just gets more creative and more inventive, and he uses different people to reach us.


I look at a lot of the laws that he put down, and they’re tough laws , on…
