Some observations during the Daniel Fast - Day 2

So, the Lord has really blessed us at this point in our fast. Its day 2, so very early... but there is already more proof that God is amazing.

Here are the scripture passages that came up in my Daily Bible App that I use every day. Amazingly applicable scriptures for the fast.

Day 1 of the fast:
1 Timothy 1:17 "To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."

The overarching purpose of our fast and lives brought back to light on morning 1 of our fast! He is amazing.

My Utmost for His Highest verse for July 5, 2011:
Psalm 37:5 "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass."

Wow! A promise on day 1 that our fast will be successful as our overarching goal is to fully devote ourselves to Him. God is so awesome!

Day 2 of the fast:

Verse for July 6, 2011 from Daily Bible App:
Psalm 94:14-15 "For the Lord will not forsake His people; He will not abandon His heritage...".

Another promise of God's presence and blessing during our fast.

My Utmost for His Highest verse for July 6, 2011:
Isaiah 35:7 "And the parched ground shall become a pool."
A seemingly odd verse for the day.. until you read the thought by Oswald Chambers, which focuses on and talks about how God will take us to the vision He has for our lives. Sometimes through the dry, parched valley and desert; sometimes through the floods of blessing. Either way... God is preparing us for what He has for us.

So as we are slightly "parching our dry land".. I know that the Lord will be with us and get us to the destination He has for us spiritually AND there will be points of flooding and blessing.

What amazing thoughts and verses for the start of a Daniel Fast! God is incredible! And so in the details of our lives!

Thank and praises to the Lord Most High!
