Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Our church is in the first week of a 21-day Corporate Fast. There's no better example of how we find our satisfaction in Him than when we are denying ourselves food and earthly pleasures. I am finding it difficult, but have made it part of the discipline to seek God when I am hungering or thirsting. I am finding my sustenance and my strength in God alone, for that's all I got right now.
When I read today's Dare, I felt like God was speaking to me about this fast. That's what this fast is all about - a time to seek after God and find my satisfaction in Him alone. I am fighting a battle against the flesh so that the Spirit will rise and be strengthened.
If I want to see God do big things, I need to be where God is...doing big things. My heart is to be used by God and be so full of His power. It's time to turn my affections from the things of this world and find my satisfaction in Him.
No longer will I seek the pleasures of this world when the option is to find pleasure in Him!
