A Week of Transparency

My church just finished a seven day fast that focused on transparency. It helped me so much and I really enjoyed it. Whoever chose to participate in the fast, decided what kind of fast they would do: whether to fast from food completely, to fast only certain foods, or to fast other things such as social media.

I wanted to share the topics we focused on each day and the scriptures that go along with it in case anyone reading was also interested in a seven day fast or the topic of transparency. 

Day 1: transparency with God. Psalms 139:1–18

How can I be more transparent with God?

Day 2: transparency with brothers. 1Sam 17:1–29

How can I demonstrate clarity in my motives?

Day 3: transparency with leadership. 1Sam 17:32–40

Who are you emulating?

Day 4: transparency to enemies. 1Sam 17:41–54

What do your actions show the enemies of your life?

Day 5: transparency with friends. 1Sam 20

Your friends are the ones to whom you reveal your true self.

Day 6: transparency in the church. 2Sam 12:1–13

I must ask God for forgiveness before I can be restored.

Day 7: transparency to yourself. 2Sam 9

What does your character reveal?
