Today’s Devotional:
Do you ever wonder why God doesn’t just snap His fingers and solve all our problems? He obviously could, but He usually doesn’t. Why is that? Could it be that the work God wants to do in us is sometimes more important than the work He could do around us? Sometimes, we learn more through endurance than we do from deliverance. Whatever you are facing today…God wants to open your eyes, He longs to give you His perspective, and He desires to take you from natural living to supernatural living. This is what fasting is all about—letting go of the natural (such as food) to take hold of the supernatural.
We fast primarily for three reasons. It is as simple as ABC—Alignment, Breakthrough, and Clarity.
A - ALIGNMENT
Fasting aligns us with the heart of God. Now, more than ever, we need alignment with the heart of God. Fasting is a way to make sure your heart is aligned with the will of God. Do your desires line up with God’s desires? Does your will line up with God’s will?
B - BREAKTHROUGH
In Mark chapter 9, Jesus miraculously heals a young boy possessed by a demon. After the crowds leave, the disciples ask Jesus why they didn’t have the power to cast out the demon? He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting.”
What if the breakthrough you so desperately need can only come through prayer and fasting?
C - CLARITY
James 1:5 reminds us to ask God for wisdom, and He will give it. God will pour out supernatural wisdom. He will give us the thoughts, ideas, motives, and perspectives that we need. So, we need to begin praying, God, give me your wisdom. Give me your wisdom in this relationship. Give me your wisdom in this business decision. God, give me your wisdom as a parent. And God will generously give us what we need.

Question:
- What are you believing God for—alignment, breakthrough, or clarity?
A Prayer to ‘Look Up’: God, thank you that you promise to bring wisdom when I ask for it. Thank you for the alignment, breakthrough, and clarity available through fasting. Open up my spiritual eyes and ears during this fast. Help me to experience your presence like never before. In Jesus’ name, amen.
