A couple of weeks ago I had a nagging question come to mind…”if I could ask God for one thing what would it be?  As I pondered this question throughout the day, many things came to mind – a nicer car, a new suit, a healthy year?  My nagging question was eventually answered by the words of a song I had put music to many years back.  Words written by King David who was described by God as “a man after my own heart.”  (Acts 13:22)  The words come from Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.”  I began to look back at my life and see how incredibly good and faithful God has been to me and I quickly concluded that nothing in this world satisfies my life – nothing but Him and Him only.   Why am I fasting?  The answer is very simple I want one thing and one thing only – MORE OF HIM!   Jesus said these words to his disciples“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”   I have found that fasting refocuses my life and develops a hunger for God in my life.  Every time I feel the discomfort of fasting I am reminded – One thing only Lord!  Are you hungry for Him?  Let’s keep pressing on together – it is all worth it.
