Yesterday gave me a great deal to rlect upon as it relates to our church-wide fast. Although, I had a plan yesterday for our first bible study of the year, the Lord decided to take us in a completely different direction. We spent this first moment united Christian conversation in 20101 talking about the fast.
It was exhilarating for me to hear so many people giving their thoughts about the fast. Persons talked about the blessings and the challenges. No one talked about any regrets. People talked about how their lifestyles have changed-- more prayer, more meditation, new experiences, temptations resisted, testimonies given. One person shared how she has developed a new perspective on Daniel during the fast. She has taken the initiative in her own bible study to read Daniel for herself. This Daniel fast has been and continues to be absolutely amazing because of the revelation, vision, direction and insight that God has given to this church collectively and individually.
I am reminded of Acts 17: 27, that "(we) should seek the Lord, in the hope that (we) might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us." I praise God that we are seeking Him together and discovering in this process that he is not far from each one of us. Only God be Glorified!
