Day 9: Fasting

Wow! We've almost made it to the halfway point. It seems to have gone by so quickly. Yesterday I had nothing but water, it was a great day! For as many times as I was tempted to eat something, I was even more compelled to go after God because I knew that depriving myself was like telling God that I wanted more of Him than what I did of my flesh. I even decided to continue that this morning and afternoon before going back to the Daniel fast.

It's funny, I couldn't eat as much as I thought when I did finally eat, sometimes you deprive yourself and think that eating again will be good and then you end up eating a small amount and then you're stuffed. I never thought that steamed potatoes and green beans would taste so good, but boy were they good! :o)

Well I hope that you are doing well on your fast and if you haven't started, it's never too late to start. God rewards those who diligently seek Him, so why not start today! Be of good cheer, we've made it this far and we only have 12 more days to go!

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today!
