Day 1
Prayer
How should we begin our consecration to God? Perhaps the first step is in answering the call to devotion that God has given us. Our answer might end in our obedience, but it can begin in prayer. Check out this article on the writing of a famous prayer of consecration:

Day 2
Approaching the Mountain of God
Why is it that God always meets people on the mountain? What is the invisible, spiritual mountain that I spoke of in Sunday's sermon? Check out this devotional for some background, then consider the questions below:

What does the mountain represent? Why is God at the top of the mountain? Can you still meet God on the mountain today? In what way?
Consider the following verse:
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is
anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 What you have
learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things,
and the God of peace will be with you.
What does this tell us about meeting God on the mountain? How can you put this into practice in your life?
Prayer Topics: Submission, Honor, Beauty

Check out this article to remind yourself of the truth that makes complete devotion and consecration to God the only rational way to live:
