Today was...rough. I had to work in the kitchen the entire day cooking a bunch of food I just wanted to EAT! I also had a meeting where everyone was munching on candy or something right in front of me. However...I was able to resist it all and held strong. It is really amazing to me how, after just 3 days, I find myself focusing so much more on the Lord. By fasting...I have put myself in a position where I NEED to talk to God. Whenever I'm hungry my thoughts immediately go to the Lord for strength...before they went to "hmm...what should I eat to fix this?" Praise note for the day: powerade was on sale in my store. Hallelujah! You better believe I bought a ton of it! The Lord also put me in a position to bless someone today. I was filling up with fuel after work and the car next to me wouldn't start...so I offered to jump her vehicle. At first we weren't able to get it started and she was about to give up and told me I could go, but I really felt like I needed to check the connection of the jumper cables again...and...poof! Her car started. Praise Jesus!
Anyway...I've decided to also post a verse pertaining to fasting every day if I can. Here is one from the book of Matthew :)
"Jesus answered, 'It is written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" - Matthew 4:4
Thanks for reading :) May God bless all of you fully!

Sounds like God is being faithfull. Lord bless my friend and help her to do everything she's supposed to do, in Jesus Name! (Not sure if Power Aid is good for a fast?)
ReplyDeleteI am drinking powerade for the B vitamins and electrolytes to help keep me going for work, as I have to be able to be active and on my feet for at least 10 hours a day. As I said before, I have personalized this fast specifically for what I have going on in my own daily life, as I cannot take a 40 day break from my job (though I would love to)! I still need to be able to honor my employer by performing mentally and physically as well as I would if I weren't fasting. Powerade/Gatorade was suggested by a pastor when I listened to a sermon on fasting.
