God’s Word for Today - 10 Oct 2024
Mark 2:19 KJV — And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 10 Oct 2024
The bible teaches us that there is a season and a time for every purpose and I believe in my heart that this includes spiritual activities such as fasting. And I believe also that there is always a reason for choosing to fast or not to fast. It is saddening to see multitudes of people embarking on a fast simply because someone in leadership told them to do so. They end up fasting without a purpose and a reason, and no wonder they become frustrated and some even get angry with Jehovah. If you are a follower of Christ you need to grow in your understanding of the doctrine of Christ and stop doing things without having a clear sense of what you are doing and why you are doing it. Know that fasting has its place in our spiritual life and it should be done on purpose with purpose to get the desired outcome.
Pray: O Lord my God, teach me to know when and how to fast and for what purpose. #Mok
