Recently I read the book called “7: An experimental mutiny against excess” written by Jen Hatmaker. A good idea of a book. For 7 months she tackles an excess and works with 7 things. For example, dealing with excess food, she chooses 7 foods and eats them only for a month. For excess stuff, she had to give away 7 things a day. For excess clothes, she wore only 7 articles of clothing for a month. Interesting idea that left her changed. And it made me begin to think: What if I were to take 7 forms of obedience to God and obey them every day for a month? For example, what if I shared the gospel with at least one person every day for 30 days? What if I prayed for a sick person to be healed every day for 30 days? It would make an interesting experiment, although the very word “experiment” sounds bad. But what if I took this challenge on, what would happen? I’m thinking about this. Wondering if I could draft a friend to take this on with me… And also, thinking through 7 areas of obedience. Hmm….
