—Isaiah 58:6-12

Fasting can take our spiritual lives to levels we will not experience when we give nothing up. When we fast from eating for a time, we have a new awareness for our need for God as well as a new ability to see the needs of those around us more clearly. If we fill the time we usually spend eating a meal with studying God’s Word and praying, we will find we are satisfied in ways food cannot accomplish. Jesus told us He is the Bread of Life and that when we eat of His bread we will never go hungry. What a blessing can come from giving up a simple meal or two!
