Psalm 142

A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.

1 I cry aloud to the Lord;
I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.
2 I pour out before him my complaint;
before him I tell my trouble.

3 When my spirit grows faint within me,
it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
no one cares for my life.

5 I cry to you, Lord;
I say, “You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living.”

6 Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
for they are too strong for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,
that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
because of your goodness to me

```Don't take life for granted, in a the blink of an eye anything can change.
Forgive often and love with all your heart.
Remember, those who died yesterday had plans for this morning and those who died this morning had plans for tomorrow.
You may not have that chance again!```
Give your life to Jesus Christ now

*The 40-day fasting period observed by Christians, particularly during Lent, is rooted in biblical events and spiritual symbolism. Here are the main reasons for this practice:*

*1. Jesus' 40 Days in the Wilderness*

The primary reason for 40 days of fasting comes from Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, and Luke 4:1-13, where Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness before beginning His ministry. During this time, He overcame temptation from the devil, setting an example of spiritual discipline.

*2. Biblical Significance of 40 Days*

The number 40 has deep biblical symbolism related to purification, testing, and transformation:

Moses fasted for 40 days on Mount Sinai before receiving the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:28).

Elijah fasted for 40 days as he journeyed to Mount Horeb (1 Kings 19:8).

The Great Flood lasted 40 days (Genesis 7:12), representing cleansing.

The Israelites wandered for 40 years in the desert as a period of trial and preparation (Numbers 14:33-34).

*3. A Period of Repentance and Spiritual Renewal*

Lent, observed by many Christian denominations, is a time of self-examination, repentance, and drawing closer to God. Fasting symbolizes turning away from sin and focusing on prayer, humility, and dependence on God.

*4. Preparation for Easter*

Lent leads up to Easter Sunday, the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. Just as Jesus prepared for His mission through fasting, Christians prepare for Easter by purifying their hearts and minds.

*5. Self-Discipline and Spiritual Strength*

By voluntarily giving up food or other comforts, Christians practice self-control and spiritual growth, following Christ’s example of resisting temptation.

*6. Solidarity with the Suffering of Christ*

Fasting is a way of uniting with Jesus' suffering and sacrifice on the cross, allowing believers to meditate on His love and sacrifice for humanity.

*HAPPY LENTEN SEASONS*

FIRST WORDS.

The first words that God spoke to man, after He created him, were these:

"And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.” - Genesis 1:28 (Amplified)

*This is a command.

* This is a promise.

* This is a creative statement.

Secondly, you will see the three aspects of the environment in that verse namely:

* Land

* Water

* Air

Then God handed them over to mankind to manage.

May God make you fruitful this year.
May you experience multiplication in all you lay your hands upon this year.

*THE BENEFITS OF FASTING* March 5 MATTHEW 6:16, 'Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.' It was a Jewish custom to anoint one's self with olive oil and in Jesus' day it was apparently customary to anoint the heads of your guests, also (Lk. 7:46). At times ointment or perfumes were used in this personal anointing. A lack of having one's head anointed was associated with mourning or sorrow. Jesus is saying that there should be no external sign of fasting or sorrow, but it should be done secretly to the Lord to receive a full reward. Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 7:5, that abstinence from the physical relationship in marriage for the purpose of fasting should not be done without the consent of one's spouse. A fast does not always have to be totally secretive to be productive. Rather, Jesus is once again dealing with the motives behind our actions. The fast must be directed toward God and not men. Fasting accomplishes many things. One of the greatest benefits of fasting is that through denying the lust of the flesh, the spirit man gains ascendancy. Fasting was always used as a means of seeking God to the exclusion of all else. Fasting does not cast out demons, but rather, it casts out unbelief. Therefore, fasting is beneficial to every aspect of the Christian life - not only in the casting out of devils. The real virtue of a fast is in humbling ourselves through self denial, and it can be accomplished through ways other than total abstinence. Partial fasts can be beneficial, as well as fasts of our time or pleasures. However, because appetite for food is one of man's strongest drives, fasting from food seems to get the job done the quickest. Fasting should be a much more important part of our seeking God. Endeavor to live a fasted lifestyle, whether it is a denial of yourself through food, or denial of your own wishes. Exalt Jesus today. Put Him first in everything that you do. 🙏💫🕊️✝️
