Proverbs 30:8-9 ...feed me with the food that is needful for me, lest I be full and deny you and say, "who is the Lord?" Isn't it interesting how our attitudes can change when we are denied something? Even something as simple as our morning coffee? This proverb is a reminder that it is when we are denied something, or simply given that which we need, we are in an appropriate place of recognizing God as the giver of all things good. When I have plenty I am in danger of thinking that I attained something on my own, or that I can manage things well enough without God. We may not say it in so many words, but our attitude can oh so quickly shift. May a little going without draw us to our God as needy people. Sustained wholly by Him.
Hey, variety is the spice of life, so if you have found a way to maintain some variety during the fast please let me know. Personally I can get in a rut of the three things I like...but seriously how many plates of rice and beans can one person eat in a row? Anyway, email me with your ideas on maintaining variety in your Daniel Fast diet. pastorcarlyn@harvestcomchurch.org
Let us be in prayer for our elected leaders today. Election years have their own drama, but let's pray that those who make the laws of the land be confronted with the truth of the gospel and respond in faith. God may you not be a political plaything, thrown about according to the whims of the user, but rather may you be recognized as Lord, sustainer and giver of Life and all things good. Amen.
