21 Days of Fasting & Prayer- Day 14

Right fasting-Right faith produces freedom!

¹³“If you watch your step on the Sabbath

and don’t use my holy day for personal advantage,

If you treat the Sabbath as a day of joy,

God’s holy day as a celebration,

If you honor it by refusing ‘business as usual,’

making money, running here and there—

¹⁴Then you’ll be free to enjoy God!

Oh, I’ll make you ride high and soar above it all.

I’ll make you feast on the inheritance of your ancestor Jacob.”

Yes! God says so!

  God pulls no punches.  He is never vague-He gets right to the heart of the matter. And that is what and where He goes!  God told them they had lost all ‘reverence’ for God as ‘God!  Most of you reading this are too young to remember, but there was a time in America when stores in America would not open on Sunday in at least an outward reverence to America’s religious views. 

  Alas, times have changed, but God has not. Reverence for God and a designated time to come together for corporate worship and learning must be an imperative for you the believer!  Read. Hebrews 10:25. God commands us “not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, but to do so even the much more so as we see the Day of the Lord approaching!:

  I applaud the owner of Chick Filet that they continue this path!  On a card by their door is an explanation that they view Sunday as a day for their workers to spend with their families together and to worship. We believers should demonstrate our appreciation for their stand, and whenever possible patronize their establishments, showing our support.

 Listen to God’s promise to those who take time to celebrate Him by giving Him a day committed to reverence and honoring Him: 

 ^”’Then you’ll be free to enjoy God!

Oh, I’ll make you ride high and soar above it all.

I’ll make you feast on the inheritance of your ancestor Jacob.”

Yes! God says so!

              Fight the impulses to participate in America’s downward slide to rid herself of all things that reflect God!  Make God special and have a day specifically dedicated to Him and you will see a difference in your life!  He said so!
