Fasting has its good days and its hard days. We are seven days into this and the newness has worn off, it is easy to say " I'm out" why do this? Let me answer that question
1. REMEMBER WHAT IS IMPORTANT, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE GOAL- DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD.
2. If you need to make adjustments - make them but stay with it by sacrificing in some way. What we are doing is redirecting our focus on food to a focus on God.
3. Sacrifice is by nature difficult. We are striving and straining to reach a goal, we are not simply going with the flow but against it. There should be some struggle.
Together we are doing something counter culture- we are denying ourselves instant gratification, for something deeper- a closer relationship with God. Setting aside the good for the great.
We have 14 days to go. -WE CAN DO IT- If you have not been apart to date join in. Make whatever adjustments you need to that allows you to have a meaningful sacrificial approach to seeking God.
You have all been such an encouragement to me. Your honesty and transparency have been a blessing. God is moving in the lives of RL people.
Seek God and he will be found. Thanks for being on the journey together.
