Fasting & Praying Guideનમૂનો

The psalmist tells us in Psalm 8:5 that God made humans a little lower than angels “and crowned them with glory and honor.” But the psalmist isn’t saying humans have their own glory apart from God. Rather, the glory of humanity is the glory of God reflected in humans as His image in the world. Humans are like the moon, whose light reflects the light of the sun. Our glory is the glory of God. So, the more we worship and serve God, as Jesus says, the more we reflect God’s glory.

Reflection:

It’s astonishing to think that the Almighty God has entrusted us with custodial authority over His creation. Considering what I know about myself—and humanity as a whole—it’s no wonder the world is in such disarray. Yet, this realization both humbles and emboldens me. God has given us incredible agency and authority to be His ambassadors, His designated Kingdom representatives.

However, a steward exists solely to fulfill the will of the One who sent them. This is why fasting is so critical and necessary—it sharpens our ability to hear and discern the will of the Father. For me, His voice becomes clearest during a season of fasting, as the distractions fade and His guidance comes into focus.

How might God be asking you to align your role as His steward with His perfect will during this fast?
