Day 2
Readings: Romans 4, Psalm 134
Romans 4:3 (msg)
What we read in scripture is. “Abraham entered into what
God was doing for him, and that was the turning point. He trusted God to set him right instead of
trying to be right on his own.”
I think a big part of fasting is the growing awareness
that God is our provision. Freedom comes
when we surrender everything and say, “Jesus, take over!” How many times do we in our own striving to
make things right, get everything wrong?
Or we get things right and yet, we feel utterly empty at the end of the
process. Maybe we think that our way is
better. Abraham needed to enter what God
was doing FOR him, rather than what he was doing for God. He needed to trust God to SET HIM RIGHT,
instead of trying to be right on his own.
What a glorious surrender.
The question we’ve been asking ourselves is this: “If you
could see you free, what would that look like?”
Today, ponder this with God’s truth. As you spend time the Jesus today, bring your
thoughts/thinking, emotions/feelings and ask him to speak his truth to what you
may think or feel. His ways are far
better than ours, and he loves us more than what we can think or imagine.
Prayer: Jesus, I
thank you and praise you today. How amazing
is your love and faithfulness. I lift my
hands in praise to you today. I
surrender my own will and I ask Jesus that you would set me right as I trust in
you. I know you are true to your word
that you will accomplish what you started in my life. Amen
