The last three months of 2009 wasn’t kind for commuters, drivers of cars, jeeps and trucks because of the numerous potholes and deep excavation.
Dust, discomfort, and traffic are the results of these excavations.
Certainly these excavations are not pleasant for regular commuters or for people with vehicles because they get trapped in traffic, especially at the onset of the Holiday Season.
The main street leading to our house in Mandaluyong wasn’t spared by the major road repairs, too.
Since the main street connecting to Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong is a regular route for tricycle and cars, we were forced to pass through a narrow street that served as the only alternate route going to our place, thus the traffic for two months.
However, after enduring the traffic and dust for three months, the main street was finally opened to tricycles and vehicles, and boy, I could drive smoothly now going home.
Fasting takes somewhat a similar route like these deep excavations vehicles encountered last year.
Today marks the first of our 7-Day Prayer and Fasting Victory-wide.
Fasting goes beyond the skipping of meals for the next seven days.
Fasting isn’t just depriving oneself of your favorite food and drink.
But fasting allows the Holy Spirit to “unearth or excavate” our hearts with the purpose of removing unwanted attitudes and habits that often prevent us from experiencing breakthroughs and victories.
Fasting connects us further to Jesus, strengthening our relationship with Him as we seek Him wholeheartedly.
May this period of consecration be a time for us to seek Him more, for the Lord to give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so we could know Him better and be sensitive to know what He desires for us to do this year.
Happy fasting!
