other ways of fasting

August 11, 2008

we often associate Lent with fasting on food. but there are other ways we can deny ourselves. check these out:

  • fast from anger and hatred. that probably includes the political kind. pray for them instead.
  • fast from judging others. we don’t really know th whole story. why not give the benefit of the doubt instead?
  • fast from the discouragement. the plans of the Lord are for a future full of hope (Jeremiah 29:11). let’s hang on to His promises.
  • fast from complaining. about 800 million people die each year because they are too poor to survive. we really have no reason to grumble.
  • fast from resentment or bitterness. even on the cross, Jesus was an exampl of forgiveness. let’s follow in His steps.
  • fast from spending too much. why not reduce your spending this month and use it for more important purposes?
