Day 19

I'll admit as I was trying to find what I needed to give up for this year's fast I felt kind of stuck. I usually have something specific that I feel the Lord has put on my heart to give up to feel closer to him but this year all I truly heard from him was hunger and that "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God." So, I began to try and hear more from him than to listen to my hunger. I know, pretty basic fasting guidelines but stay with me here.

It wasn't until last week in my alone time with God that he began to truly show me that my physical hunger was nothing compared to the hunger my spirit has been in for more of him and that no matter how close and deep we are in love with him there's always more. There's always a new facet of His love and power for us. That deep calls unto deep in his love and fasting and prayer just exposes and shows us just how much more there can be for us to explore of His love.

So Cultivate, as we push and press for this final week I challenge you to allow that hunger, that desire for social media, or whatever God has laid on your heart to fast to be filled by his presence. Press into the deeper state of relationship that the Father longs for you to have with him.
