Day 10: The Discipline of Fasting
Read it: Joel 2:12-19
Live it:
Some background on a lesser read book of the Bible, Joel. Two natural disasters have occurred, and there is looming political unrest. Joel is writing this in response to this tumultuous time. He is hoping to gather together the people and leaders for a time of prayer, repentance, and to encourage them to return to the Lord with fasting and prayer for God’s mercy.
Maybe you find yourself with a triple threat. It feels like life just keeps dealing you blows, and they are compounding. This is your sign to train in the discipline of fasting.
When you feel desperate, call yourself to a fast and remind your body and mind that God is in control. He has your best interest in mind and WILL come through, like he always does.
If you need a starting point, join us as a church as we are fasting every Second Saturday of 2025. We are desperate for more of God, so we will train our bodies and minds to seek him fully.
Ps. Jenni
