Fasting

So neglected! Jesus assumes we will do it. The purpose is spiritual: not health. Fasting ought to be private. Humility is greatly grown through fasting and it reminds us of what we ought to be pursuing in life. Regular fasting is a good discipline. MOTIVE is very important: fasting must centre on God. Fasting has power to reveal the things that control us. It helps us to keep our balance in life.
