Today's thoughts

I am just excited about what God is doing and what He will continue to do throughout the year. I had an awesome conversation with the Lord last night and who would think that being chastised would be so enlighting. Simply put, He loves me enough to want me to get it right. I was struggling to not fall back asleep when I got up for prayer on Sunday and could feel myself drifting as I lie in bed praying. God let me know that this was not good enough. How can I move Him to act on my behalf when I can not put flesh aside for a commitment that I made to Him. Yes, it was one day and something that seems so minor, but remember, to whom much is given, much is required. What may seem small to others could potentially sway me from my assignment. I hope this board is an outlet for you to express your trials as well as your triumphs. I believe in this hour, transparency is key.

FL asked a rhetorical question on Wednesday..." How bad do you want to see Jesus". She then asked would we give up the chance for a chicken wing or a meal. The answer for some may be no, but we must ask ourselves, what have we given Jesus up for. My issue was sleep. I almost missed out on what God wants to do in my life but attempting to get a few more winks in. Those few extra winks would have meant that I defaulted on my commitment to Jesus. But thank God for Him allowing me to see what the adversary was trying to do and not allow it to advance.

Today, think of the things you defaulted on during this fast.
