Twas the night before the Daniel fast,
and all through my heart
all my senses were cringing
as my soul and spirit were soon to part...... (Hebrews 4:12)
Well, here we are- about to embark on a church and community changing journey!
Where first I shuddered and bemoaned, I now anticipate and await. I can't wait for the closeness of my Savior! I can't wait for the nearness of His presence. I long for the beauty of His Holiness!
We will go to sleep tonight and drink a diet coke and nibble on an m&m or two. We will wake up in the morning and deny ourselves culinary items we have so accustomed ourselves to- all to seek His Face and know His Truth.
Please don't forget to share your journey also! I emphasize again, the link to the professional Daniel Fast Blog is well worth your visit and the cook book for $8.95 is wonderful! From what I have read, Susan Gregory's teaching on spiritual disciplines are right on.
Remember, this is not just about doing without. This Daniel Fast is about drawing closer to God. Seeking Him. Finding Him. Knowing Him. Enjoying His Presence. Listening to His Spirit. Allowing Him to change us and mold us. Ending 21 days later a completely different person than we are right now. Don't forget to spend time at His feet and in His Word!
