My wife and I are joining with our church in a 21 day fast from January 10th - 31st. During this time I am chooseing to do the Daniel Fast and periodically fast entire meals for extended times of prayer and Bible reading.

“In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.” Daniel 10:2, 3

I am expecting God to do great things in our lives over the next three weeks. I have set my expectations extremely high. I know that during these 21 days I will be making some significant sacrifices because I highly enjoy good food. It has been said that sacrifice is giving up something you love for something you love even more. If you know me you know that I “love” food, but I believe that what God wants to do over the next 21 days is greater than any meal or indulgence I would ever experience.

I encourage you to consider joining with me in fasting, even if it’s a single meal or activity. If you do, I believe God will exceed your expectations and satisfy a hunger that only He can satisfy.

I look forward to what God is going to do over the next 21 days.
