Day 7

One of the great things about going on a fast is that it breaks up your regular routine. It changes some of those habits that we allow to manage our lives. Eating habits, relationship habits and scheduling habits, to name three. I think it makes for a good chance for God to re-arrange us a bit for the new year.

Most of us need some change in at least one area of our lives so change is good for us. We may need to start reading the Bible again or renew our discipline of prayer, Or perhaps attending church each week is our problem. Others have habits of gossipping or complaining or living with unnatural fear that need to be changed.

A good exercise for the remaining two weeks of our fast is to examine your life and look for areas that need adjustment or downright rebuilding right now. There's no time like the present.

Paul said "Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your minds". Not a bad idea.

Have a super day today!

Pastor Andy
