Day 18

The Lord WANTS us to come back to him in a fresh new way...He asks us to fast.  He looks at the intention of the heart not what's said or done on the outside. He wants us to turn to Him with a pure heart of worship  because of who He is not just for what He has done for us.  Sure He has done amazing things for us, but that's not the only reason to LOVE HIM WITH A PURE AND STEADFAST HEART.  He provides what we need and we have nothing to fear. But again, he knows the intention of our hearts. That being said, what is He seeing in your heart as a result of this fast? What will he see in your heart in 2 weeks, 2 months or even in 2 years? Love Him with a pure heart of worship and thanksgiving.

SCRIPTURE FOCUS;  JOEL 2: 12-32
