Fasting!

Have you ever fasted? I'm not talking about dieting...or starvation...but biblical, spiritual fasting? I must admit I am not a fasting type of person. I hate even typing that. I believe that fasting, like many other biblical disciplines, is misunderstood. I don't know what everyone else is feeling for 2008 but I believe that 2008 is a year of total commitment to God. While talking to a minister friend of mine, who I believe truly hears from the Lord, he said that this will be the year that things will be exposed. I believe, with him, that there is coming a move of God that is looking for those who truly want to live their lives for God. I see many who add God to their life only to have a better life. Yet, Romans tells us that our service is to present ourselves as a living sacrifice. It's about God and not us...and I believe Christianity has become more about us than Him. We do everything for us...we play the music we like. We preach the sermons we like. We do almost everything for us...but I want to start 2008 all about Him. God Bless.
