Fast Day 16: Praying With My Body

As a culture, we so often get tricked into buying things that really have no value and ignoring things that are truly valuable.  It almost seems counter-cultural to speak truth into our culture’s idolatry, pleasure obsession, and “whatever makes me feel good”  kinda thinking.   Even as I think about the things I am possessed with (other than God) during this fast, I find myself being hypnotized into buying cheap things and ignoring the truly valuable things. 

My daughter, Sarah, said the other day when she heard how many day I’ve been fasting for, “DAD, you must be STARVING!”  Actually, I didn’t really notice, but in many ways I’ve been starving my spirit from feasting on God. 

I’m so proud of many people who are over half way through our 21-day Daniel Fast challenge!  I’ve heard so many stories about how people are learning to let go of stuff they used to deem so valuable and let God show them what’s truly valuable.
