As a kid, I didn’t like the idea of this “Catalyst” weekend. It wasn’t something I looked forward to. Can you blame me? How excited can a kid get when parents say no food,TV or Tecmo bowl for an entire weekend. However, my good buddy Krist, his sisters and I learned to improvise. We couldn’t eat food but could drink liquids. So we turned anything we could get our hands on into liquid. I don’t think his blender ever worked the same after that. Fortunately, my perspectives of this Catalyst weekend has changed. Prayer and fasting have been foundational in my life. God never disappoints. His plans and purposes come to fruition. It’s when I set time to fast, pray and focus on God that I can better hear and respond to His words for my life. Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food. By engaging in it, we learn that God’s word to us is a life substance. It’s not food alone that sustains but the words that proceed from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4)
