FASTING

So just wanted to share Jesus Calling today...just a good one to think of...and I woke up yesterday singing this song and so I leave it here today to listen to as you read...

And here is Jesus Calling by Sarah Young for today's devotional...

"THIS IS THE DAY I HAVE MADE.  Rejoice and be glad in it.  Begin the day with open hands of faith, ready to receive all that I am pouring into this brief portion of your life.  Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances.  The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them.  This act of faith frees you from resentment and frees Me to work My ways into the situation, so that good emerges from it.

To find Joy in this day, you must live within its boundaries.  I knew what I was doing when I divided time into twenty-four-hour segments.  I understand human frailty, and I know that you can bear the weight of only one day at a time.  Do not worry about tomorrow or get stuck in the past.  There is abundant Life in My Presence today."

Psalm 118:24

"This is the day which the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."

Philippians 3:13-14

"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

So after reading that I decided I would FAST today...usually fasting consists of voluntarily giving up food so that one can pray and focus...today I am voluntarily giving up COMPLAINING!   Well I have made it so far...haven't left my kitchen table yet...but I have a good start...so I give thanks for this day and like it said EVEN THE WEATHER!... There is fog out there...I am praying for rain...but I am thankful for fog...that means there is some moisture in the air...

Have a great day!
