HE IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE AND ADORATION

God is, has been, and will always be with us. No one else can live up to the promise of always. He is with us forever and through everything. He is worthy as our shield, as our rock, and as our creator. We are saved by Him. We tend to skip past the words always and forever, but this is an important part. We say things like, "You always do that" or "I will love you forever," but God is the only one who can say these things and keep that promise.

Christians often have either the mindset of trying to do things by themselves or entirely relying on God to do what they want to happen. However, the best mindset is allowing God to work in and through you. We praise and worship God because of who He is. He deserves all of this.

Fasting requires a sense of discipline. He gives us the strength to do this, and it is only because He works through and in us that we can fast. Fasting is a way of praising God. Express gratitude to God for who He is and what He does for us.

When we fast, it is important to let God work through us.

QUESTIONS FOR FURTHER REFLECTION:

• Have these days of prayer and fasting drawn you closer to God?
• How can you incorporate these spiritual disciplines into your life on a regular basis?
• How has God shown His power in your life?
• Think about how He has always shown up as your rock, fortress, salvation, and stronghold.
