    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 10, 2025 5:56


    How often have we looked at the truths in God's Word and thought they felt confining, hard maybe, even punitive? Like He was holding out on us.

    Sometimes the best way to know what to do is to know what you don't want to do. Often, if we take stock in how our hearts exited the previous year, we can ask ourselves if that is how we want to enter the next year. I hope this time of questions and reflection will be helpful as you enter this new year.

    Fasting is always most about drawing close to Jesus. Yet often we have specific things on our heart we want to be a part of our fast. This week, I encourage you to lean into Jesus and begin to ask Him what do you want to focus on during your fast? It may be personal renewal and revival. It may be restoration of health, or resources, or a relationship. There are many different reasons we fast, and it is okay to fast for something specific.

    God has a real desire to draw close to you. He wants to have more time with you. Fasting creates that. This is why it is important to begin to ask God what you are to fast in this season.

Don't shut this next month down because it isn't something you want to consider. Instead, allow your heart to be curious. Then, let's see what God may want to speak and how He may want to move.

    When is the last time the Holy Spirit has tugged on your heart to call that person? Or invite that person to church? Or pray for that stranger at the grocery store? Have you obeyed?

I think your heart will be encouraged and challenged today.
