‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’
Jeremiah 33:3 MSG
During this fast, you have probably developed some new habits, good habits. Habits that have helped you develop a healthier spiritual life (and for many of us, dietary habits that would help us to live healthier in the long run).
The end of the fast doesn’t mean the end of these habits. Am I saying that you should fast all year? No, what I am saying is that if you have developed a new practice that is helping you to be more aware of the presence of God in your life, then by no means should you give it up. This fast has been a time of stretching, of growing and learning. It would make no sense to have grown only to shrink back, or to have learned only to forget.
In the verse above, God tells us to call to Him, that He will teach us unknown things. You have only just started your journey, God is ready to take you the rest of the way. Make yourself available to God and get ready for a year of expansion as you pursue God with a new found passion.
Grace.
Peace.
