I was sitting in Easter service on Sunday and as Pastor Roy was giving his sermon on Revelation and how it is tied in with the Resurrection of Jesus I couldn't help but notice my own self and my utter disregard for Jesus' call to depend on Him. I have decided to fast for a extended period of time. I was thinking, "I have to fast. I have to refocus my energy and effort." So, as I was driving home from dinner I was talking to a friend of mine and I came to the time period of three weeks. 21 days. I don't know why this number came into my head, but I knew it was the right number. I fell asleep and when I woke up I sat at my computer finishing my paper and I thought, "Man, I'm hungry." Haha. That has nothing to do with anything...I just thought I might put that in there.
I was driving to school at 11 and I was listening to a sermon on the radio. It was about Daniel and how the king during the time gave a decree that allowed the Jews to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. As time went on the Jews became lazy and when this news reached Daniel he fasted for 21 days. It might not be the case, but I took this as affirmation for what I decided to do.
I'm writing here because I want to write about my days as I struggle and find fulfillment in God.I also write here because I want to be kept accountable for what I am doing. Please...ask about my walk with God when I see you if I don't tell you first.
There are prayer requests and they are:
1. I need to go back to the the importance of the Gospel.
2. Refocus my energy and efforts and channel them into being a better witness.
3. God deserves my everything and I pray that as I abide in Him and try to fully depend on Him I would not be distracted.
