Hi Pastor,
I just wanted to share during the fast too.
"Jehoshaphat was alarmed by this news and sought the LORD for guidance. He also gave orders that everyone throughout Judah should observe a fast". 2 Chronicles 20:3
The commentary for this passage says:
"When the nation was faced with disaster, Jehoshaphat called upon the people to get serious with God by going without food (fasting) for a designated time. By separating themselves from the daily routine of food preparation and eating , they could devote that extra time to considering their sin and praying to God for help. Hunger pangs would reinforce their penitence and remind them of their weakness and their dependence upon God. Fast still can be helpful today as we seek God's will in special situations."
Words of Encouragement
RESOLVE TO GET INVOLVED
"Get involved in your church, in your community, in the schools, and in mentoring programs. Unconditionally offer your time, talent, love, support, and money. Give for the joy of giving and not with the expectation of a return." Tavis Smiley
