DAVID'S FAST FOR HIS SON
After Nathan delivered the news about God's judgment on David's sin, David felt compelled to fast and pray, pleading with the Lord for his son’s life, even though God had already pronounced judgment. He thought maybe God would be gracious to him and let the child live. David acknowledged his sin, yet he knew the forgiveness and goodness of God and hoped God might change His mind.
What is so powerful is that even though David fasted and prayed and received a no to his request from God, the first thing he does in response is to make himself presentable to go worship the Lord: David got up from the ground. After he had washed, put on lotions and changed his clothes, he went in to the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house and, at his request they served him food, and he ate (2 Samuel 12:20) May we all become Christ followers who seek after God’s own heart, in prayer, in faith, in trust—living a life that testifies to the magnificent wisdom and sovereignty of our heavenly Father.
Regardless of the answer you receive, will you respond like David, with praise and worship in your heart to God?
读经计划介绍
We all know that there is power in prayer. Prayer is defined in several ways: it is how we praise and worship our glorious Lord and Savior; it is our most powerful weapon; our open door to communication with the living God; the vehicle to confess our sin; how to find God's will for our lives and one of the ways we can hear the voice of our precious Savior. It is not very often that we hear about fasting with prayer, either from the pulpit or in our conversations as a church community. Yet, the Bible has so much to say on this subject and so many wonderful accounts of deliverance, forgiveness, and miracles that happened when God's people did fast and pray together. This ten-day reading plan will focus on some of the Biblical accounts and show us the undeniable power and movement of God when His people humble themselves through fasting and prayer.
