Fasting and God’s Idleness
Our fasting could also be rewarded within the revel in now not best of non secular replenishment but in addition of bodily inactivity.
Isaiah 58:6,8,11 -“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen…and your healing will quickly appear…and will strengthen your frame”
“Of fasting I say this: it is right to fast frequently in order to subdue and control the body. For when the stomach is full, the body does not serve for preaching, for praying, for studying or for doing anything else that is good. Under such circumstances God’s Word cannot remain. But one should not fast with a view to meriting something by it as by a good work.” – Martin Luther
Pray: “Father in heaven, as I subdue my flesh and control by appetite today, refresh my spirit, replenishes my soul, heal my wounds and strengthen my will to carry out your desires. I ask this in the strong name of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.”
