Day 7

I made it through 7 days of this?!

Miraculous, I tell you.

I don't think I've ever really stuck to a diet for seven days, so I know this is a God thing.

But not in the way I was thinking. My ideas for this fast involved lots of extra time in the Word and intense times of prayer. And while, I have been reading from the Word and praying every day (intense prayer when the hunger hits!), I think God is teaching me something else.

Sacrifice.

Nothing I could ever do could match His sacrifice, but that's not the point. The point is that each of us is denying our flesh in some way to allow God to work in mighty way in the spiritual realm. And THAT has been a powerful thing for me.

Yes, it has been uncomfortable, difficult, even annoying.

But after only 7 days, it feels life-changing to deny myself in this way for a higher purpose.
