Fasting . . .

“Fasting is abstaining from food [video games, television, sports, etc.] for a time in order to gain mastery of the physical realm and open us up the spiritual.” – Coach (aka Keith Drury). During times of fasting we experience hunger, true hunger not for food but a hunger for the word of God. Matthew 4:4, says, “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” This true hunger points us towards a deep dependence of God.

How has the past week led to a deeper dependence on God through your experience of fasting?
