Day 4 : 禁食日记 / Fasting Diary
第四天：10月6日(四)
饥渴或挨饿让人深感无力、无法集中精神做事情、心情不好、不快乐、不满足、没动力。。。不吃不喝，生活缺乏乐趣，无法享受人生，严重的话还会死人！
长时间禁食40天更能体会这种感觉。相信上帝要我们将这很真实、贴切的感受，转向对他的渴慕，即没有他，以上的种种状况就出现！愿这40天过后，我们对神的思念和渴望就如同这40天对食物的渴望一样。。。
“神啊，你是我的 神！我要切切地寻求你；在乾旱疲乏无水之地，我渴想你，我的心切慕你。。。
因你的慈爱比生命更好，我的嘴唇要颂赞你。”
～诗篇63章1和3节～
＊＊＊是的，当我们愿意为了属灵的事情或神的国，而放弃生命需要的食物，我们基本上已经学习“因你的慈爱比生命更好”。。。
Day 4 : Oct 6th (Thur)
Thirst or hunger makes people feel weak, unable to concentrate on doing things, bad mood, unhappy, unsatisfied, no drive or
motivation… Without drinking or eating, there will not be pleasure in life, we will not enjoy living, and in more serious cases, you
may die!
Long period of fasting for 40 days gives you a greater sense of such feeling. I believe God wants us to transfer this very real and practical feeling to Him, i.e. without Him, all the conditions above will appear! May after these 40 days, our longing and desire for God will be similar to this desire for food…
“You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water… because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”
~ Psalm 63:1&3~
**Yes, indeed, when we are willing, for spiritual things or the kingdom of God, to give up the food we need to survive, we have basically begun to learn “because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.”
