21 Days of Fasting & Prayer- Day 13

Right Fasting-Right Faith “turns the lights on!”

    ^{Isaiah 58:  7}  

What I’m interested in seeing you do is:

share your food with the hungry,

invite the homeless poor into your homes,

put clothes on the shivering ill-clad,

be available to your own families.

⁸Do this and the lights will turn on,

and your lives will turn around at once.

If you get rid of unfair practices,

quit blaming victims,

quit gossiping about other people’s sins,

¹⁰If you are generous with the hungry

and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,

Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness,

your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.

  So many live their lives in the dark!  Those who live in darkness, or in the partial darkness of shadows, cannot see what God has placed all around them.  They cannot see the sun for the clouds nor can they see the beautiful flowers of the fields; all they see are the thorns!  Why?  The darkness of “self -centered” living  blocks the Son of Righteousness from shining in their hearts,   minds and lives! Right fasting creates right faith,  and right faith has the reflection of God  upon it!

  Pray with me in this manner:  “Holy Spirit, show me how much of my life I am spending on me!  I am beginning to understand that I am a steward-a manager of the life given me.  I “have been bought with a price, even the precious blood of Jesus!”  Show me where you want me to invest the time, talents and finances you have provided the way You want!   Holy Spirit, I am excited  about the new light and life I am embarking on with You. Guide my thoughts and my actions and may each glorify Christ and be done in such a manner “so others may live!”
