Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Do you think of yourself as a temple? The Bible says that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Some times, the best way to change things up is to “change things up”.  As we live our lives, over time we can get all “gunked up.” While our spirit is eternally made new through Christ , our soul, which is the intersection of our mind, will and emotions, can become weighed down, heavy, negative, and sluggish.

The constant demand on our mind, the distractions, and the noise can weigh us down and put us in a spiritual fog. Life has a way of stacking on the pressure and pain, which causes our emotions to get out of whack. As we forget how much God truly loves us as His children, we can shift into autopilot, operating from a position of obligation or routine in our relationship with God, instead of one of affection and thankfulness. Fasting hits the reset button of our soul. To receive the new things God wants to bring into our lives, we have to periodically hit the reset button. This is what I call experiencing a newness of soul. What a powerful gift we have been given through fasting.

Reflect and Journal: Along with your fasting, make sure you slow your pace and remove distractions. Try to add some times of silence and solitude along with your fasting.

Prayer: Take time to pray for the following needs:
Broken marriages to be restored & for God to raise up strong and Godly families throughout our community
