Day 12a

God is in the business of rescuing us.  Daniel 6:27, "He rescues and He saves; he performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth."  I need Jesus.  I need Him to rescue me from sin.  I was thinking today that my ultimate goal in this is to let me food be to do the will of him who sent me.  I want to get to the place that my day is spent praying for others, praising God, and serving others instead of thinking about food.  I heard today about an Iranian pastor on the verge of execution standing up for his faith, a mother of three just diagnosed with breast cancer, and a dear couple at our church whose husband is going to Cuba to do door to door ministry.  When I think I these three, I don't want to eat.  I want to pray for them.  I want to pray that Jesus will do a miracle in their lives and in their ministry.  I want that Iranian pastor to be rescued, I want that mother to be healed, I want that friend to have great success in sharing God's word in Cuba.  Jesus, help my "food" this week to be to pray for them.   I love the fact that I am starting to realize that I am dependent on Jesus.  I like that I am weak because when I am weak, He is strong.  (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).  More of you, less of me.
