What are the odes that I would get a stomach bug the day I am to start my fast but that’s exactly what happened. Oh, it seems that it was only a 24-hour thing. Thank God for that!
I worked hard at staying hydrated. I needed to take some medicine for the diarrhea and I also ended up drinking some Gatorade for electrolytes.
What doesn’t kill you…
I am committed to continuing with my fast.
Some may ask why I have chosen to talk and blog about my fast. After all is fasting to be a private matter. Fasting is both a personal and private matter. Our primary reason for fasting must be to seek God face, drawing near to Him. It should not be done to draw attention to one’s self (Matt. 6:16-18, Matt. 23:28).
However, I believe the discipline of fasting is such a under appreciated, and for many misunderstood that I wanted my experience to act as an encouragement for others. If one person can be encouraged in this disciple I give God all the glory.
May you be blessed as you seek our Father,
Joel
