Day 25

Day 25

Man God is good!!!!!  It is amazing how much easier it has been this last 5 days.  Have there been temptations, faltering and cravings? Most definitely, but when the food cravings come, I turned to God. When I faltered, I turned to God. When I was tempted, I turned to God.  You know what, all went away.  Now have any of these things been world shattering, no, but they have just proved all I need is God. 

In my devotion this morning the author asked me to ask these three questions:

1.      How can I become more rooted in God?

2.      What are three things I can do to increase my knowledge of Him and His ways?

3.      What time am I willing to set aside for the sole purpose of studying the Word of God so I can become firmly established in the truth?

This fast is teaching me to be more obedient and to lean on God.  I have talked about the storms of life in the past.  If I can fully answer and follow these 3 questions, when the big storms of life occur I will be able, through Gods strength, be able to withstand them. 

I have 15 days left on the actual fast, but a life time left to deepen my roots in God.  I know I must continue to drink from Gods Word to nourish my soul.  A diet is a short term solution to a long term problem.  Yes I have lost weight on this fast, but if I go back to my old ways, it will all come back.  I must strive to continue to build my mind, body and soul for the Lord’s glory long after day 40.  I do believe I have begun life’s journey
