"Pray for God's Spirit to help you stay on track with your fast this weekend..."
Oh yeah, His Spirit was definitely helping me tonight.
Otherwise, I would have been scarfing down a giant chocolate chip cookie and ice cream at Old Chicago instead of the plate of raw veggies I actually ate.
"Instead of relying on our own strength, learn to surrender to and lean on the Holy Spirit."
As this fast progresses, the daily thoughts about food are dwindling. But the temptations are growing as well.
That cookie and ice cream.
The meat sauce I made for the rest of the family's pasta.
Those darn jellybeans that are now open.
In those moments, I KNOW it is not my own will power allowing me to pass those up. I've got that internal battle described in Romans 7:18-20, but my mindset is now not on me.
Reigning in the flesh. Relying on God.
