The 5 "Ps" from Susan Gregory

http://www.daniel-fast.com/daniel-fast-success/

The first step ...

One of the differences between human beings and animals is the ability to plan and then change one's lifestyle in order to fulfill those plans. This is not the same as bears hibernating or squirrels hiding nuts (and forgetting where) in preparation for winter. It is an intentional progression to an envisioned place or time of life.

The problem is that with the power to plan comes the power to procrastinate or put off what is to be done today until some later date.

Don't wait for the giant step. Once there is a plan or desire in place, every right step we take brings us that much closer to the goal. Remember the wise man says the longest journey begins with the first step.

So whether it's coming to Christ, changing eating habits, or pursuing some inward hearts desire, it all begins with thst first small step. Now. Right at the moment you think of it.

May I encourage you to prepare for your fast today. Eat the right things starting today...not after the holidays. Decrease the caffeine and sugar starting with the very next meal and January's real time will be easier. Here is a word from Daniel Fast Coach, Susan Gregory.

Daniel Fast 2019

Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk

Those of you who know me well also know that it is that time of the year when the topic of fasting starts popping up. Yep. Right in the middle of the holidays! The start of a thing gives a good indication of what the outcome is going to be. So with the year — the foundation we lay in the first days or weeks has a lot to do with how we progress through the 11 plus months to come. Hence the fast.

Last year there were people who reported controlling the sugar habit, some reported losing weight, and still others just learned to eat better. This year, I want all of the above but most importantly, I want that “spiritual reset” Daniel Fast coach Susan Gregory talks about. I will be using her material (whatever is public domain) as well as some of the posts from last year’s blog. To begin however, I encourage you to watch last year’s instructions, Daniel Fast 2018 Live in the Spirit – YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKpNrzHA2yI or if you like, you may purchase “Rest in Him” which is 2019’s program.

Whatever your choice, do it now, before January steps in as it serves as an excellent guide to organize in order to reap true spiritual results. The fast is not about the food. It is about staying on top of the flesh so that God can have the preeminence that is truly his. Right now, I’ll turn over to Susan for this week’s devotion and more on Daniel Fast 2019 – Rest in Him http://www.daniel-fast.com/daniel-fast-success/

Remember, those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled.

Good News

The news broadcast my household watches daily has a tiny segment at the end reporting genuinely good news. Countless evenings we slog through the mire of horrors at home and abroad just to get to that 30 seconds of hope.

The world is desperately in need of good news. In their quest they turn to politics, pleasures, work, and even relationships and it all works for a while. But all too soon the enjoyment and the excitement fades and it's back to trivial pursuit.

We do not have to engage in fruitless searches or pin our hopes on the news to tell us something good. There is good news and its this: After centuries of darkness where humanity forgot the voice of God or that he spoke at all, God sent his Son born in the poorest of circumstances, to save the whole world.

That Baby grew up to be the Man we know as Jesus of Nazareth and from that time until now, he continues to change the lives of those who follow him. In spite of the grief and senseless acts of hatred that have become almost commonplace in our society, Jesus Christ offers good news. What we see now is not what will always be. Good will yet triumph and evil will be permanently destroyed.
Do you know the story? Will you share the Good News with someone this season. For unto us is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.
