Requiem to Self

So what is a Requiem to Self.

Requiem to self is going to be my devotional for the next few weeks.
30% Study 30% Looking For God to open doors 40% Action when that moment comes.
I will place a portion of scripture, and search out a manner in which I can put it into action.

My hope is to see God open opportunities to teach.
One every day, no specific length, either on the scripture, or how he opened the opportunity for me to put what he taught me into action. Or if he hasn't, or if I failed to take the opportunity, to journal the after math of disobedience.

As such this is not just a devotional, so much as a journal, and a social experiment of sorts. Between me God and the world.

So this should be interesting.

I will be doing portions of scripture from the Old Testament histories, law and the prophets.

I will also do a section from the gospels, epistles and revelations.

And finally a section from Psalms, Proverbs and Song of Songs' for kicks.

I will select a section of scripture or a short book, and share what section I studied, what stirred my thinking and how I feel I can apply it, finally praying for God to open the opportunity to put into practice.

I think it will be interesting to see how God speaks through these very different sections of scripture to modern issues and problems.

And if this actually ends up as a requiem to myself, that in knowing him more, that I would be crucified with Christ and no longer live, but be changed until it is Christ shining through me.

I don't think I need to mention that everything I write will be not only personal and biased but also challenging for me to put into words. I promise to do my best to give an honest opinion and share my thoughts as I think them, and (God willing) his direction as he leads me.

I hope and pray for the strength to see this through.

The Old Self.
