Today I read a devotional on Proverbs 31 Ministries website. It talked about the importance of fasting and how there is power when we sacrifice something.
Resently I have given up Facebook, not because it's a sacrifice but because there were so many things on there that satan was using to attack me. Also it can become a meaningless distraction from some other important things. So far I've done well. It's very freeing to not have the distraction. At first I thought it might be extremely difficult to keep myself away from clicking on the link and scanning the page for news/drama in other peoples lives. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard not to click on it. I started sending cards and using other ways of communication to contact friends. Yes I may be missing the happy moments on facebook, like my friend Abby who just got engaged. But life goes on, my life doesn't only exist on facebook. My value isn't found in facebook.
My value is found in Christ, my Creator! He has so much more for me than what Facebook can offer. I has carried me through one of the most difficult places I've ever been, He has healed the most wounded parts of my heart, showed me that I can trust His plan. Even though it seems like it's crazy and doesn't make sense to me, His plan is whats best; in the end, when it's all over I will see and know why His plan is best. Yes I'm not perfect, I have my days that I doubt and begin to question, but He quickly reminds me of His power and purpose in my life. What about you? Where do you place your value? Are you listening and obeying the calls that the Lord gives you? You can do it! His ways are best!
