CHAPTER EIGHT

WHAT TO EAT WHEN

YOU’RE FASTING

IF IT IS IN GOD’S PRESENCE THAT FULLNESS OF JOY IS TO BE found and at God’s right hand that pleasures evermore are to be experienced, how do we get there? It’s all well and good to talk about fascination with God and being entranced by His beauty, but how do I posture my soul to see that beauty and to encounter this God at whose “river of delights” I’ve been invited to drink?

The answer to that question could come in any number of shapes and sizes, but I want us to consider three possibilities. When I think of the most effective way to tenderize my spirit and enlarge my heart to receive the fullness of God, my mind (not my stomach) turns to fasting. Sometimes my stomach just plain turns! Meditation also comes immediately to mind, as does worship. These pursuits are simply three (but by no means all) of God’s prescribed means for posturing our thirsty souls beneath the spout of His ever-flowing blessings. They are conduits of His mercy and channels for the free-flow of His presence into our experience. We neglect them to our peril.
