It’s saying “yes” to weaknesses and “no” to our own strength. Doing this day in and day out does amazing things to the human soul. It causes us to see our own barrenness and dependency on God—it shows the worthlessness of those things that we rely on to bring us comfort, honor, security, and exhilaration.

I have been thinking a lot about that and how it relates to consumerism / greed / financial-security / etc.... The fasted lifestyle is basically a question: How are we spending our life? It's not something that we can settle once and then just do. It's something that we constantly work out in our relationship with God as we seek to love Him.

All this writing about embracing weakness has been producing a major paradigm shift for me. The other day, as I was worrying about how I'm going to pay rent, I started praying. I repented of seeking my strength from the earning power I'll have once I get a job with my degree. I told God that even though he's the one who gave me these abilities, I want to remain in dependence on him. A few days later, I was checking my bank account to see how much money I'd have to cash advance from my credit card. I noticed a very large deposit into my checking account. After further research, it turned out I had recieved some federal grant for school. Its an all year thing, so even though I graduated, I still get this half. Still, halfway through the semester is an odd time to deposit the money... The way I see it, God just slipped me $2000! I think I can handle being dependent on him.
