The Daniel Fast

I've decided to start a 21 day fast with one of my good friends. Today is the first day of "The Daniel Fast" by Susan Gregory
In Daniel 10:2-3 it states that Daniel fasted for 21 days. Eating no meats, bread or wine. He did this so that it may bring him closer to the Lord.

"Sometimes we are so hungry that the only way we can get fed is to fast."

At this point in my life, I need to get refreshed in my relationship with Christ. I need to feed my soul, strengthen my spirit and renew my body.
Starting this fast and having someone to keep me accountable along the way will be an incredible experience and I cannot wait to see the outcome.
It's only been a day and I can already feel difference. God is so powerful.

Day 1: Firstfruits Offering.
Lord, today I give you the first of me. I put you first in my life.
We are commanded in scripture to put God first. Exodus 20:5 states, "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God" and Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

God has unmeasurable love for us. He wants to show us and the only way we can fully see it, is if we put Him first in our lives. By putting Him first, we give him the chance to work in us, to really show us how powerful He is.
Staying close to God will allow us to see the greatness that He has planned for us. He desires to have a loving relationship with each and every one of us. That is such a blessing!

We all need to open our hearts to Him and let him work in our lives!
God's arms are always open. We need to fall into them because trust me, He will catch us and carry us to the highest of high.
