We have been on this Journey for two weeks. I know there have been some good days and some in which you felt like you couldn’t go on – but you did! Maybe you haven’t been as successful to your commitment as you intended, but remember this is not a competition.
Don’t allow guilt feelings to cause you to give up – this last week can be a special time for you. You may be saying, “If only” – but you don’t live there, you can pick yourself up and get back on the Journey. Today is a good day to recommit to this last week and we will break the fast next Sunday together during our Sunday Service.
When I think about the word “IF”, I think about the choices that I have to make. I remember when my mother would tell me when I was a little boy that if I would finish my music practice... then I could go out to play.
God proclaims another “IF” that we should focus on today:
2 Chronicles 7:14.“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
We all need this REAWAKEN EXPERIENCE, where revival comes into the hearts of the people, and then it will come to our church as well.
Counting it all joy!

Thank you for the encouragement!
