I hope you picked up a fasting guide last night during the service. If you didn't get a chance, I'd encourage you to check out Bill Bright's fasting instructions at:

By way of preparation this weekend, I hope you'll spend a bit of time asking the Lord what he's calling you to specifically for next Monday to Wednesday. One of my favorite passages on fasting (if you can classify "most convicting" and "favorite" in the same group) is Zechariah 7:5.

"Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, 'When you fasted and mourned in the
fifth and seventh month these seventy years, was it actually for me that you fasted?"

My hope for you on Leadership is that your heart would be toward the Lord, not to earn his favor or grace by a deed well done; that you would seek with simplicity and purity of devotion (II Corinthians 11:3). More thoughts to come...
