500 Days with NTI ~ Day 87

NTI-The Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New TestamentDay 87 Assignment

This evening (or tomorrow morning):

  1. Read NTI Mark 7 (v1-23).
  2. Consider Jesus’ words, “The essence of a man simply is, without his choice or his action. His essence cannot change, for his essence is given him by God. This essence of which I speak is within every man, beneath the thoughts that seem to be clean or unclean and beyond the actions that seem to be clean or unclean. It is a man’s essence that worships God. It is essence that defines who he is.”
  3. Contemplate that your essence is absolutely perfect now, regardless of what you have thought and regardless of what you have done. Write one sentence to a few sentences that will help you reflect on this. It will be most helpful if the sentences touch your heart.

Tomorrow:

  1. At a time that is convenient for you, set a timer for 10 minutes and relax with the inner calling.
  2. At least 8 times during the day, pause for a few moments and reflect on your sentence(s) from #3 above.
