Fasting
I went to a school where they fasted breakfast and lunch once a month. They then had us pray at 7:14 in the morning so we'd remember the verse 2 Chronicles 7:14. Little did I know this verse is on my Grandparents tombstone!
"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
What does it mean to be humble? And when do we fast? When we don't sense that God is with us or when Jesus is physically not on this earth? or is it something we do to loose weight?
It has been suggested that fasting can be more than about food. We can fast technology for instance. Can I encourage you to give up something for a little bit to give more time for Christ in your life?
