Fasting Day 10



Knowing God’s will.

When we fast it is easier to hear His voice and know His will. When we seek Him he promises we will find Him. Often we stop when we are reading Jeremiah 29:11 but it is important to read verses 12 and 13.

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

Search for God with all of your heart requires some fasting. We get so many things in the way that we need to set time aside to simply seek the Lord. When we do the reward is we will find Him and in finding Him we find all that we need and want.

Continue reading today in Acts 3 and 4. Peter and John thought they knew their future, they would be fishers for the rest of their lives just like everyone else in their families but after seeking and finding Jesus they became disciples, apostles, evangelist, prophets, teachers, and fishers of men.

Don’t limit your potential by your environment, heritage, finances, family, or any other thing. As you are seeking the Lord in this fast expect Him to reveal great and amazing things that you have yet to know.

But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9
