Hey my ForevaBlack family, I haven’t written a post in a while. I was on a 40-day fast with my church family; and it was an amazing but challenging journey. During my 40 days, I learned how to seek and search. I had to seek God’s love and wisdom, and search what was inside of me. God exposed some things that I wasn’t aware of; inside of me and in others. He taught me discipline, obedience, and love. What is it that you need to seek from God? What is it that you need to search inside of you?
You know, we tend to seek and search for the wrong things; things that doesn’t make our lives better but indeed worse. We can give our energy to some of the most irrelevant things in life, and you know why? It’s because we don’t seek God enough, we never truly ask God for his opinion or for his insight on our lives. In my fast, I learned how to ask God to step into my life and guide me through this journey and to give me counsel. I truly sat and allowed God to minister to me in ways I never thought of.
In Jeremiah 29:13, the Lord tells Jeremiah “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.” Keyword is ALL; with all of your heart, seek God. Not just a little bit, but with ALL of it. God has so much to offer to us, God has a beautiful character… but how will we ever truly know if we do not seek him? Before my fast, spiritually I was at a lower level. Mentally, I was a total mess; a very confusing place. After, I feel much better; I can think clearer, I am trying to pick up my purpose more. Also, I gave up some of the most important things to me unto God for this fast. I showed God who I love more, I allowed God to renew my strength through him, not through material items that I hold so strongly to.
I pray that you all seek God, allow Him to search you. In this season, give some things up to God that you put before him. Anything you feel like you cannot give up or it’s a struggle to give up, it is most likely taking God’s place. Seek God and ask Him to search for the insecurities, the mistrust you have, and whatever that isn’t like Him. God loves you so much, he can heal you; your physical, mental, and spiritual situation. God is a provider, a way maker, a healer, a Father, and so much more; but how will you know if you never seek him?
I love you all, and I’m excited to be back to my family.
