What Jesus Said - The Sermon on the Mount
Fasting has been practiced from time immemorial because, for a short time, you literally allow God to be your daily bread. Inviting God’s presence in this quiet, discrete manner can dramatically change your sense of who you are and your place in God’s order.
Matthew 6:16-18 (TLB) “And now about fasting. When you fast, declining your food for a spiritual purpose, don’t do it publicly, as the hypocrites do, who try to look wan and disheveled so people will feel sorry for them. Truly, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, put on festive clothing, 18 so that no one will suspect you are hungry, except your Father who knows every secret. And he will reward you.
