Matthew 6:16
"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward."
light_modeReflection
When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do. Fasting is not for public applause; it is for private power. It is disconnecting from the world to connect more deeply with God.
spaPrayer
Father, teach me the discipline of fasting. Help me to hunger for You more than I hunger for food or comfort. Fill me with Your Spirit as I empty myself. Amen.
