We've reached the mid-way point! I would say that it's all downhill from here, but spiritually speaking, it's all up hill from here! God is going to take us higher than we've ever been before! I'm encouraged because God had brought us this far and He's going to take us even further!
Don't be discouraged if you haven't made it this far, if you've fallen, get back up and get back on board. God knows your heart, He sees your desire and He still loves you!
I've been reading Nehemiah lately and it seems like he's talking about the world now. In Nehemiah 6:13 it says: "Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them, everyone is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely." It's just like the world today, we want what everyone else has, even some of our children fall into the trap. How many of us got Wii's this year because everyone else had one? And please don't take offense because I'm preaching to myself as well.
Nehemiah's plea to the children of Israel was to "return to God". He cried out continuously, he endured physical pain and chastisement for the children of Israel. But they wouldn't listen, they turned the backs on him and on God.
Oh Lord help us to see that You are waiting for us to return to You. This nation, this world is crying out for You, the earth is groaning (earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes) for Your soon coming. Help us Lord to see You more clearly through this fast, renew our covenant Lord that we may serve You and live a life that is pleasing to You.
I pray that your fast is going well. Get to the house of the Lord tomorrow with great expectation, He's waiting there for you.
Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today.
