As I mentioned yesterday, there are two “daily” parts to a CO2 (church of two). The most important is that we are individually hearing God’s voice each day. It’s also important that we are connecting with our CO2 partner as close to daily as possible.

But, this can be a challenge in an already full schedule. One of our members wrote: “I have a lot going on right now and am having a difficult time “checking in” with my CO2’s (I’m doing 2) every day.”

Each of us will have to discuss with the Lord how this works in practice but here’s an exhortation from Scripture we need to take into account: “See to it brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. (How do we do this?) But, encourage one another daily (literally, “each day”) as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” (Heb. 3:12-13)

With repeated practice, the CO2 becomes a life giving habit. Here’s report from two guys in Denver.

“Desi and I have been LK10:2b partners for a long time. It has morphed into so much more and really become something of a CO2 before the term was invented. At first it was just great to experience mutual encouragement, but as time goes on I have realized how much I needed the daily encouragement and to pray with a partner every day. We use to wonder about believers meeting daily and daily encouraging each other and now I wonder how did we live with out our “daily” need for each other. -Jan Cowles”

What are you learning about the “daily-ness” of doing your CO2?
