NEW BOOK: When I Was Hungry: Fasting, Praying, and Seeking God’s Face

Description

Isn’t it just like God using a rare solar eclipse as an opportunity to reveal His glory? As I sat at my neighbor’s kitchen table reflecting on the April 8, 2024, event, Keith, a U.S. Air Force Intelligence veteran and, at the time, a self-proclaimed atheist, marveled at the number of neighbors who had gathered outside talking to each other. Instead of only seeing one another as we entered or exited our vehicles, we talked, laughed, and stared at the sky, waiting for the sun and moon to do their thing. Keith loved it. Realizing the moment’s significance, I choked up and said to Keith, “If they think that was something, wait until they see the Creator.” Keith was silent. At that moment, I understood that, like the sun, the moon, and the stars, God has already positioned His followers to show His glory through our worship. All we have to do is show up at the appointed time and leave the rest up to Him.

But what is worship? Does it look the same for each of us? Is there a right way or a wrong way to worship God? Is worship just for Sundays at church? These questions are embraced in When I Was Hungry: Fasting, Praying, and Seeking God’s Face.

Position yourself through the Word and the work of the Holy Spirit through twenty-one days of inspired fasting and prayer. God is aiming His love like an arrow toward the heart of what you need: joy, peace, purpose, and more through worship. All you need to do is show up and leave the rest up to Him.
