Fast Day 7 With You
Hello church! No matter what you have chosen to sacrifice in this time, I pray that it is a fruitful 21 days. Fasting is an important biblical practice seen all throughout the Bible people like Daniel, Esther, Paul, and many more fasted in times of prayer, seeking God, and to grow a more intimate relationship with God.
As we take this time of 21 days and fast I want us to remember to use this time to draw in close, to simply sit in God's presence. During a time of fasting you will most definitely find yourself in moments of want. It is in the moments when we are fasting that we are called to deny our flesh and rely on God. I believe that taking intentional time to sit and worship and simply be in his presence is a good practice during a fast because you can really find yourself in this raw and vulnerable place with God.
Psalms 62:5-8 says
”Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my
salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude“
Let us sit in the truth of that verse, let sit and worship quietly at his feet. As you take time this week i have a song for you to listen to.
