Confession #30 Star Status

It's amazing how many of us make new years resolutions decreaing that we are going to give more of ourselves to God than the year before and actually do good for the first few weeks of the year. We then go on a fast hoping to gain some sort of super natural blessing from God, only to go back to living life as before. Granted, we can not judge others attempt to change because we are all struggling with different issues. However, the more you are expecting from God, the more you should be willing to give.

Through fasting, we are telling ourselves no only to say yes to God, which requires sacrifice, change, and action. We have to do more than confess his word, but live by his word.  
James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

To conclude, do not sell yourselves short. During your fast, devote more of your time to God, become intimate with him. When you pray to become a better woman/man of God, do what it takes to become a better woman/man of God. When praying for a change in your life, be sure to reflect on yourself and let the change begin on the inside of you. When praying for a stronger and better relationship with your significant other, know that you first have to have a better relationship with God first. If your relationship with God is not whole, how do you expect for your earthly relationship to be whole? 

I don't know about you, but I need God to come in and setup shop in my life. I pray this year will be a year of favor for you and me. I want EVERYTHING he has for me, good and the bad. so what ever I need to do, what ever I need to give up, what ever I need to change, Im ready.

Happy fastening and God bless!
