Before I write about my yesterday, let me point you to a list of scriptures that I have compiled revealing God’s heart for the poor (click this link for verses)
Wednesday seems as if it was hump day. I felt much better on Wednesday than the two days before. The gnawing hunger seems to be satiating. I felt good at the gym and did a complete workout - I am still loosing weight down 4-5 pounds now. And I don’t think this is water weight loss because I am drinking much more water than normal.
Throughout the day, I continued to feel good. I was able to concentrate at work and accomplish much. I suspect that my experience is similar to those who have been on extended fasts. Apparently, around 2-3 days into a fast you cross a line and your body resets to another normal.
BTW I am in no way advocating this kind of a diet or a fast for weight loss. That would be incredibly unhealthy. I am trying to image what happens when people do not have enough food. At first, assuming you are healthy before your food source disappears, the human body sustains its life on its stored up reserves. But once those reserves are gone malnutrition and all manner of related health conditions set in. I just keep thinking 800 million people, half of them children, live on a diet that is less than what their bodies need…
I keep repeating Bob’s Pierce’s prayer: Lord break my heart with the things that break yours.
Surely preventable poverty is a heart-breaker for God.
