Day 10 - Cravings

"After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."

Matthew 4:2-4


Fasting has a way of revealing what our hearts really crave. It can reveal what our soul needs and how we satisfy those deepest wants.

"Fasting can be an expression of finding your greatest pleasure and enjoyment in life from God. That's the case when disciplining yourself to fast means you love God more than food, that seeking him is more important to you than eating. This honors God and is a means of worshiping him as God." - Donald Whitney


Pray

God is the only one who can meet your deepest needs, ask him to turn your hunger pains into moments of worship and praise.  Focus on the beauty and splendor of his holiness and revel in his infinite mercy.  Give him all the honor and praise.
