Fasting Day 2

Well, today is day 2 of our 21 Day Fast at Bridges of Hope Fellowship.  Many thousands in the body of Christ are fasting at the same time around the world.  God is hearing the cries of all His children as we get serious with Him through prayer and fasting.

Some are in their 3 days of total fasting, while others are on the Daniel Fast or some other type of fast.  Regardless, each has made a vow to God and every vow is important to God.  Whatever type of fast you are on, be sure that you are setting time aside at each meal time and other times throughout the day to get alone with God and spend time in His Word, prayer, journaling, and reflecting.  If not, you are only going on a cruel diet.

Here's the fasting devotional for day 2.

Scripture:

Read Mark 4

Observation:

Jesus gave us insight into understanding how His Kingdom would work in our lives. Like a

farmer sowing seed, amazing things happen when the seed falls on good, healthy, fertile
ground.

Application:

Our hearts are like the garden. The things we plant into our lives will grow, and weeds can
sprout up if we are not paying attention. If we are going to experience all the amazing
things Jesus has provided, we must be intentional about planting the “right” things in our
hearts and getting rid of the “weeds”. Plant His Word, cultivate it, and it will produce an
incredible harvest. As you fast, expect God to reveal Himself to you more clearly.

Prayer:

“Lord Jesus, thank You for helping me see the amazing truth of sowing Your Word into my life. The harvest that is produced is transforming my life. Help me to see You for who You really are. Help me to see myself in light of who I have become because of Your gift of righteousness. Amen.”
