February FAST

I woke up Friday morning on January 30 with so much on my mind.I felt impressed to fast during February.So I put the challenge out to my friends on my Pastor Batman page to do it with me.When you feel as though things in your life,your body, and ministry are slowing down ,that's's the time to kick it up a notch.So for February I am fasting at least one meal a day-equal to 6 hours per day,Sounds easy,but so far it hasn't been.You see I am also keeping up with 3 new years resolutions I made, Running at least one mile a day,no soft drinks and no Starbucks.I feel there's something inside of us that refuses to be patient with aspects of life,how have we become so spoiled? 7 days in God is showing me speed is not always the issue.Its not how fast you get where you want to be.The wise man wrote  in Ecclesiastes 9:11"The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong" Progress is as much a process just as patience is a process.

There is an art to simply waiting on God.There is a holiness in turning down the volume of life to experience silence,there is a skill and discipline to being patient,there is even a value and power that is found in our weakness.God meets us there in the waiting,silence and discipline,when we slow our pace,we can really find his peace,that is if we apply the brakes...............
