Seeking to think God’s thoughts after him, to delight in His presence, to desire His truth and His way
The ability to hear God’s voice & obey His word
Stresses changed behavior as a result of our encounter with the Living God.
Repentance and obedience are essential We create the emotional and spiritual
space which allows Christ to build an inner sanctuary in the heart

1 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. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 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. 4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Meditate on Psalm 1 Read it 3x times each dayAfter each reading, pause and ask
God what He is trying to tell you
![Page 30: By: Alfred Toole, Jr. Based on the book CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE by Richard Foster](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649daa5503460f94a97f04/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
To Pray is to change. Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives. The closer we come to the heartbeat of God the more we see our need and the more we desire to be conformed to Christ.
![Page 31: By: Alfred Toole, Jr. Based on the book CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE by Richard Foster](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061509/56649daa5503460f94a97f04/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
We begin to think God’s thoughts after Him: to desire the things He desires, to love the things He loves, to will the things He wills.
Seeing things from God’s point of view.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
