February Fast - 21 Days Of Seeking Him

DAY 9 OF 21

Tuning In to His Voice.

I remember one time when my husband and I were out shopping at a department store with our children. As we were getting ready to leave, I realised that our daughter was not standing with us. I felt my heart beat faster as it dawned on me that I did not know where one of my children was. We retraced our steps and went back to all the spots where we had been, desperately hoping that we would find her.

Suddenly, in the midst of the loud chaos of crowds of shoppers, I heard the very distinct sound of my daughter humming. I spun around and there she was, wandering around the racks of clothing, humming to herself. It amazed me that in the midst of so much noise, I still heard and recognised the sound of my daughter’s voice.

Jesus, throughout the gospels, describes Himself as the shepherd and His followers as His sheep. He states that their relationship is so close that the sheep recognise His voice and listen to it. The spiritual practice of fasting is so vital to our spiritual growth, yet is often the most neglected in our busy western society. Fasting enables us to tune out the world’s noise so that we can tune in to God’s voice.

Heavenly Father, I want to deepen our relationship and experience hearing your voice in my life. As I fast, please speak to me and help me to be in tune with what you say to me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
