Today's Thought
As we focus on a new year, a fresh start and all that lies ahead of us, we want to intentionally focus on this race that we have been called to run. Paul reminds us that there are foundational disciplines and invitations from our Heavenly Father that we engage in as a means of relying on Him as our source and our ultimate prize. The invitation of prayer is a daily connection to God and the place that we surrender our will to the Fathers’ will. Fasting is an invitation to hear and experience God’s presence and power in a very tangible way. There is a spiritual mystery to fasting that cannot be explained, but it is a pathway that God has given us to engage in the spiritual battle going on around us.
