THURSDAY
For our final week in the campaign I try to give you some practices in the devotionals that will help ground you in the way of Jesus, particularly as it relates to the topics discussed in the campaign.
In the story of Esther, when the Jewish people are facing extinction, she declares a 3 day fast (Esther 4:16). In this fast, they are pleading with God to fight for them and save them.
When we face insurmountable circumstances fasting is a great practice to remind us of our desperate need for God’s strength. It provides the practical opportunity for us to experience the truth of Jesus’ statement to Paul, “…my power is made perfect in weakness.” In fasting, we lean into our weaknesses to experience more of Christ’s power at work in us. We acknowledge our inability to change a situation and, therefore, our total dependence on the power of God to fight for us.
