Jul 5
We are in the middle of this month's Global Bridegroom Fast. Be encouraged that the Lord sees your desire to love Him with all that you are. Wherever you are in your journey, His mercy is new today for you and His grace is available to you to love Him!
Here are some thoughts I wrote last week on my journey with fasting.
July Global Bridegroom Fast
For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. (Galatians 5:5)
It is only by the Holy Spirit in us that we are able to fight the good fight and love God and others when so much wars against us. Only by the Spirit can we "eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness". We are pulled to desire and pursue things that will not endure into the age to come. The resurrection of our bodies is our "hope of righteousness"! If we endure, we will live forever when Jesus returns. We eagerly wait now and hope in the Lord and in the promise that He will return and make all things new!
