Spiritual Growth
21-Day Pilgrimage Devotions Days 1 – 3
The devotions are merely guides to your time in prayer if you need it. This was prepared to help those that may not have time to construct framework for time spent with God.
January 2
Day 1
Focus: Confession and Repentance
Cleansing is the first step in preparation to enter the Shekinah Glory of God.
The Old Testament priest washed in the laver before entering the Holy Place, so we confess our sins, known and unknown, before God and ask for forgiveness.
When judgement was pronounced on the people of Nineveh (Jonah 3), the people repented, robed themselves in sackcloth and ashes in brokenness before the Lord. By repenting the Lord withheld judgement from the people.
So we start this fast by spiritually clothing ourselves in sackcloth and ashes in the form of confession of sins and repentance. This is letting God know we desire to be in his holy presence and we are preparing ourselves to do so.
