In talking with a youth group leader this week, I discovered that the LWC youth are doing a special fast. They are fasting negativity, which means they are not allowing negativity into what they think, say or hear.
I wonder what our world would be like if everyone fasted negativity for a week? So I decided to try it. I wasn’t going to let myself think negative things. I was going to say positive, encouraging words to everyone I meet. And finally, I decided to tune out all of the negative words that entered into my hearing. (By the way, I found this to be the most difficult piece. Our world is full of negativity.)
So as I post this, I am 4 days into my fast. And let me tell you, I was tested on this immediately. I started this on Tuesday and that evening I was hit by two troubling events that rocked my world. And in all honesty, I didn’t handle the hits very well at all. Negative thinking and frustration entered into my world in time- warp speed and brought my fasting success to a screeching halt. As I muddled through my bad attitude, I remembered my fast, and once again got to humble myself before the Lord in repentance. Amazingly, His mercies are new every morning. So, I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and began my fast again. Next week, I’ll tell you how this whole thing concludes and what I learned from the experience. To be continued…
