This past week, 1Peter 3 and many readers here have spent a week fasting for our loves ones. It's been a very powerful and promising week for many of us. New things have been revealed and promises reinforced. God is so faithful and good. This weekend is truly a celebration of our God who is so personal and intimate in his love for us that I am just overwhelmed by it! He's so tender!

To close our week, I'd like to encourage you to read Isaiah 58 next time you fast. It's an amazing piece of Scripture that I've seen God use in amazing ways in my life and the life of others. These two verses in particular hold special meaning to me. God used them in my life to show his presence and give reassurance during a critical time in my life several years ago. I pray they bless you as much as they have me.

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
       and your healing will quickly appear;
       then your righteousness will go before you,
       and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

11 The LORD will guide you always;
       he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
       and will strengthen your frame.
       You will be like a well-watered garden,
       like a spring whose waters never fail.

Have a wonderful weekend, rejoicing in God's faithfulness and goodness. He's the best rear guard you could ever ask for.

Praying and believing,
Dineen

    Dineen,
    Good Morning. Awesome post. I am heading for my Bible now to read the entire chapter.
    I can see the Lord at work in so many lives of the people who stop here to read. It is a humble privilege that the Lord would allow us a glimpse into His working in these lives. Have a fantastic weekend. Hugs~

    Thanks for sharing the words from Isaiah 58. It’s been a challenging week but …God is so faithful. I’ve been encouraged to enter into His rest. I want to allow Him to work through me instead of me working in my own strength. It always backfires when I’m doing it and then …ask Him to bless my mess. 🙁

    LOL! Debbie, I couldn’t help but giggle at your “bless my mess” comment. That’s so true, isn’t it? Thank goodness we have a God with huge paper towels. 😉

    Wow, Dineen! What great scriptures these two are that you shared today. I particularly like verse 11 “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”
    Such a beautiful promise from our Lord!

    This is really good: “He’s the best rear guard you could ever ask for.” AMEN to that. I absolutely love the scripture from Isaiah, too, Dineen. It’s powerful.
    He will guide, satisfy, and strengthen us in 2009.
    Hugs to you & Lynn,
    Vicki
