Spend some time reading and meditating on this week’s featured scriptures. How is God speaking to you through His word?

Matthew 4 NIV

In Matthew 6:16-18 NIV Jesus said — When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Philippians 3:10-11 MSG — I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.

1 Peter 5:6 NIV — Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

This week we will explore Biblical fasting. As you prepare for our week ahead, spend some time listening to Promises by Maverick City Music. Take comfort in His love and promises.

Thank God for all of your blessings and worship Him as you listen to Counting My Blessings by Seph Schlueter and Gratitude by Brandon Lake.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
