Matthew 6:16-18
TOPIC:
TRUE FASTING
One spiritual
discipline closely related to prayers is fasting. It is the denial of physical
pleasures by an individual or group of people in order to seek the face of God.
Fasting is not something
that should be shown off for others to see. It is meant to draw the attention
of God to a dire situation an individual or people for His intervention.
Some Christians miss
this point when they draw attention to themselves by announcing to the whole
world that they are fasting.
Jesus declared that
those who show off have already received their reward. He admonished anyone
fasting not to indicate that anything has changed in their daily lives so that
no one would know that they are fasting.
That way, God will
visit them in secret with His reward.
QUESTION:
How have you been fasting and what do you feel about this exercise?
PRAYER:
Help me to understand Your mind concerning fasting and grant me the grace to
perform it in a way that will attract Your blessings, in Jesus name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
