For a while it seemed as though it would never arrive, but here it is. Day 21! I don't actually know how many are still fasting but if you are, thanks and congratulations. I have heard of some going on further, for some today is the end. What a great day to give God thanks and praise for taking us through with Himself.
I was thinking again of the passage in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus talks about fasting. In Matthew 6:16-18 we get the attitude Jesus would have us to display, which is to keep it before the Father. For those of us who are coming to the end of our fast, let us not make a display of it...let us not make sure that everyone around us knows...no, rather let us be fulfilled with the knowledge that God knows. We could settle for the praise of man; let us rather take our joy from the reward of the Father.
Today let us praise Him for molding and making us into the people He wants us to be. To the praise of His glorious Name. Amen.
