DAY 18

God Bless You People of God,

This fast is so rich and I pray that it continues to build integrity. Do your best to hold out when you get hungry. Here is a scripture that will help Matthew 4:4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "

Be Reminded: Fast from 8am-6pm and pray three times daily and read a proverb. todays proverbs 18

Focus Text:

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.

Reflection: In this time of fasting and sanctification it is good to know that there is some help through the trials and hardship. Our proverb offers us a secret weapon after we have done all that we can do. That weapon is the name of the lord. It is a strong tower and the righteous run to it and find safety. The key to the verse is that the righteous run to it. In other words the righteous need protection and safety too. It is possible to be righteous and doing God's will and still have trouble or need a place to hide. We need not be deceived into thinking that a life of righteousness makes us exempt from trouble. We all will have trouble. The only difference is that the righteous have a place or a weapon that can offer them safety.

I dare you to call on the name of the lord when you are in trouble and see what God does.

His name is great and if we are smart we will use it.That is your meditation today.

Be Blessed
