I WANT AN AWESOME MARRIAGE - “THE 30 DAY EXPERIMENT FOR SINGLES”

 
INTRODUCTION

"  If you were asked to rate your relationship with God, how would you rate it?
Would it be a 10 or a 1? Is is better today than a year ago or the other way around? If
God really is who He says He is and if He loves us like He says He does, then don’t you
think it is worth taking some time to know Him better? I know in my life when my
relationship with God is good, my life is better - most of the time, a whole lot better. I
make better decisions, have less anxiety, and generally have more joy in my life. So if
your relationship with God is not where you want it to be, this “30 Day Experiment” is
for you.
" What does this experiment look like?  The idea is to take 30 days and focus on
your own personal growth with God.  It is a time of ‘dating God’ and no one else. It is
giving God a chance to guide you into a better way to live your single life.  It is seeing if
the Bible might have something to say to you that will make a difference in your life.  
Let’s look at it this way.  Say you meet a new person and you are a little bit interested in
them.  Maybe they ask you out on a date or you ask them.  Let’s say the date is really
good.  What is your next step?  When I met Nancy (my wife) and we started dating, I
wanted to spend every moment with her that I could.  When we were not together, I
wanted to call her.  I asked her friends questions to find out more about her.  I wanted to
know what she liked and what she did not like.  I wanted to know what to do to make
her happy.  Bottom line - I totally immersed myself in getting to know all I could about
her.
      So how does that have anything to do with this experiment? It means the same
thing.  Spend time with God; talk with Him; read about Him; ask others who know Him
well about Him.  Totally immerse yourself in Him and only Him.  For thirty days be
exclusive.  
      What would it mean for you set aside these 30 days to get to know God better?  
What would that look like for you?  What would God do?  Are you willing to take the
challenge?  If you do, I promise you that God will show up because you are putting the
focus of your life where He wants it - totally and completely on Him.

THE EXPERIMENT

For the next thirty days you ‘date’ only God. This is the relationship that you focus on.
This is Who you spend time with. Each day read the message for that day. Answer the
questions, Take time to journal your thoughts. Spend time in prayer. You can add
anything else that is meaningful to you.

God will be there. He is so excited to spend time with you. The rest is up to you.

DAY 0NE

Scripture:

Jesus answered, “It is written:


‘Man does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.’”
Matthew 4:4 NIV

My Thoughts:

Think about what Jesus is saying to you in this passage. Did you ever think about
God’s word giving you sustenance, energy, and strength? Jesus is telling us that there
is power, incredible power, in God’s word.

DAY TWO

Scripture:

For the word of God is living and active.


Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 NIV

My Thoughts:

I used to think the Bible was this great book from the past. It was written so long ago. I
was not sure how relevant it was for today. Then as I read it more and more I learned
that it applied to my life in an incredible way. Today’s passage says it penetrates deep
within us and judges our thoughts and the things hidden deep within our hearts.

DAY THREE

Scripture:

When your words came, I ate them;


they were my joy and my heart's delight,
for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty.
Jeremiah 15:16 NIV

My Thoughts:

Jeremiah shows us an incredible passion for God’s word. They are his joy and his
heart’s delight. Why? I think he gives us the answer when he says that he bears God’s
name. As a Christian, each of us also bear the name of God.

My Thoughts:

Often I visit with people who never pray for themselves. For them it is a very difficult
thing to do. Some feel it is selfish. Some feel they are not worthy. Yet Jesus clearly
asks to do that.

this belief will result is all my prayers being answered, I would probably pause. Yet, this

DAY TWELVE

Scripture:

No temptation has seized you


except what is common to man.
And God is faithful;
he will not let you be tempted
beyond what you can bear.
But when you are tempted,
he will also provide a way out
so that you can stand up under it.
1 Corinthians 10:13 NIV

My Thoughts:

I love this verse. It tells me that God knows that I will face temptations. Being tempted
is NOT a sin. Yielding to temptation is when sin enters in but God provides us a way
out of any temptation that we could ever face.

doing in my life. He does it because He loves me.

Scripture:

“For God so loved the world


that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 NIV

My Thoughts:

I have had this verse memorized for most of my life. As with many things that I commit
to memory, it has become routine for me. I want that to change. This is one of the most
powerful verses in the Bible and it’s truth transformed my life. I never want to minimize
it’s significance.

I have drawn you with lovingkindness.”
Jeremiah 31:3 NIV

My Thoughts:

Scripture:

Keep your lives free from the love of money and


be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5 NIV

My Thoughts:

It is easy for me to place security in the material things of this life. Having money in the
bank, a nice house to live in, and a car that works every time I get in it can give me a
sense of security. Yet, I know that all of those are temporary. My real security comes
from the One who tells me that He will never, ever leave me.

DAY TWENTY-FOUR

Scripture:

He is our father in the sight of God,


in whom he believed — the God who
gives life to the dead and calls things
that are not as though they were.
Yet he did not waver through unbelief
regarding the promise of God, but was
strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
being fully persuaded that God had power
to do what he had promised.
Romans 4:17b, 20, 21 NIV

My Thoughts:

Jesus never wavered in unbelief. Even when He was faced with the cross He followed
the Father’s will. I waver. Not everyday but sometimes. I think it is when I take my
focus off of God. I temporarily forget who He is and that He truly has the power to do
anything.

DAY TWENTY-SIX

Scripture:

Blessed is the man


who does not walk
in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight
is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law
he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted
by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked
will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the Lord watches
over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 1 NIV

My Thoughts:

I have a choice each day how I will live it. This verse gives us a stark contrast of the
two choices. I can walk on God’s path or not. The blessings of God’s path are clear as
are the consequences of the other path. Why do I ever choose the other path?

Which path are you walking on today? If it is God’s path, what do you need to do to

God is our refuge and strength,

DAY TWENTY-NINE

Scripture:

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit,


but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests,
but also to the interests of others.

My Thoughts:

I think that over the years of my life selfishness if my number one issue. I want my way
and that can take precedence over everything else. I also know that my selfishness
does not work. It does not work in relationships that are important to me and it certainly
does not work in my relationship with God.
