Fasting, rather than fleshly efforts, should be one of our first defenses against “persecution” from family, schoolmates, neighbors, or coworkers because of our faith. Typically we’re tempted to strike back with anger, verbal abuse, counteraccusations, or even legal action. But instead of political maneuvering, gossiping, and imitating the worldly tactics of our enemies, we should appeal to God with fasting for protection and deliverance.

I am always awestruck at this time
of year.   I think about Jesus (God the Son) who lived in all the
splendor and majesty of heaven with all of its glory and beauty.  I am sure
it is beauty beyond our imagination.  I often wonder about when we get to
heaven, will earth just seem like it was black and white and plain compared to
what is there.  Jesus had all the angels singing praises to Him.  He
is all powerful and mighty.  Yet when He came to earth to die for me so
that I would not have to spend eternity in hell, He came as an infant.  He
was carried in Mary's womb for 9 months.  He was born in a barn instead of
a mighty palace with all the best doctors around.  He had to be fed and
have His diapers changed.  How much more humble could He have come to
earth.  And yes, He was born fully man and yet fully God why?  To die
that horrible awful death on Calvary.  To take my place so that I can live
with Him for eternity.  WOW!!!  What love!!!!

Only by His merciful grace,

He is no fool who
gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.  Jim
