We are halfway there, don’t give up. By now, your body has adjusted to the new way of eating and your spirit should be hungrier for more. You should be feasting more on the Word and thirsting more for His presence. Don’t let anything distract you!
Every time the church would fast the enemy would constantly throw temptation my way. A sales representative would bring in my favorite food, someone would have a party, or my body would get weak. Each time I would have to make a decision — satisfy my flesh or feed my Spirit? Feeding my spirit is a lot more satisfying and the reward is so much greater.
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” ”
The devotional for today encourages us to really dive into God’s Word! Let’s make sure to finish strong and each day grow hungrier. Take some time today to reflect on the questions that are asked of us in the devotional — How often are we reading the Bible? What keeps us from spending time in God’s Word? There is still time to make these adjustments and finish strong.
I can’t wait to hear all God is doing in and through you during this time. Expect great things and make the changes needed to grow stronger spiritually this year!
