Happy New Year and The Fast Starts Tomorrow

Happy New Year!

I am feeling a little depressed this evening. I don't really have a reason to be depressed. I believe I am grieving the fact that I will not be eating solid foods for the next 10 days.

I am fasting because of the following.....

Isaiah 58:6-9
6 “ Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

Food has got a hold on me and I am going to get free because of the power of God!

I will keep you posted.
