Friday after Ash Wednesday: March 7, 2014 Fast that pleases the Lord: Isaiah 58:6 On the third day of lent we are invited to pay attention to the way we fast during this time of grace. Some of us give up some pleasures like eating candy, ice cream, chocolates, and desserts. We give up in order to lift up, look up rather than give in to unnecessary wants and pleasures. We lift up our thoughts and our lives to God who has seen our potential and possibilities or rather what we can be. We are bigger than our sins or failures for our worth is determined by God. so we look up to God for more inspiration to live our lives more pleasing to God rather than what our popular culture tells us. So by fasting from undue pleasures, undue attitudes, evil thoughts, evil deeds, we are in fact living up to the call God has given us. Are you really in to the season of lent or gently and slowly getting into it? Yes we have to give up something in order to give in to God, to give in to the “More”. Do you desire to grow an inch closer to God today, then fast from something that will take you there? If you don’t have the desire, pray for the desire to have the desire more.
