Content in Every Season

So in my last post I said that if God didn't answer then I was going to eat when I got home. Well I just didn't feel okay about that so I was talking to a friend about the situation. She told me if God wasn't answering me then that was the answer, which was to simply wait and continue. She also said that if I didn't have peace over quitting then I should not do it. Another good point! I was still frustrated about why God wasn't telling me anything, so I talked to her about that as well. She prayed about it for me and then told me she felt like God wanted me to look at Moses' life. I wasn't really sure what that was about and I was skeptical, but I decided to start flipping through my Bible. I felt like I knew everything that there was to know about him, so I had no idea what was going to be relevant to my situation. I started in Exodus reading the headings and study tools. Nothing popped out. I continued into Leviticus and again nothing. I had yet to actually read a verse at this point. Then I started going through Numbers. I read a heading call "vow" and something made me read it.

"Moses said to the heads of the tribes of Israel: “This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said." Numbers 30:1-2

This struck me because I knew the vow I made to God; I wasn't going to eat until I was spiritually full. At that point I figured God was telling me to stick to the fast so I did. I went to the store and got some more juice and stuff. The whole time I was in the car God kept just instilling in me that I just needed to have faith in him. After I got out of the store I was heading home and God told me to be content in whatever season I am in (comes from Phil 4:11). 

Definition of content:

          1) in a state of peaceful happiness

          2) a state of satisfaction

Got it God. I am going to choose to be in a state of peaceful happiness and satisfaction. I am still scared about continuing this fast but I know my life is in God's hands. I trust him there. 

Also, tonight was motion night at my church and I had a great time. Nothing magical happened or crazy good but I felt good afterwards, more full. Still not completely full yet, but it's moving in that direction.
