Why would anyone do this? The weekend is so much harder. With so much more free time, how are we supposed to stay not hungry? Well, we don’t. It’s okay to be more hungry. Although, if you’re like me, you might be starting to get used to things.

In Isaiah 58:6, Isaiah asks:

“Is not this the fast that I choose:

to loose the bonds of wickedness,

to undo the straps of the yoke,

to let the oppressed go free,

and to break every yoke?

He was fasting for a nation in sin - sounds like a lot of pressure! For me, I’m just trying to work on myself and seek the Lord in how to better lead one of His churches. I sure feel bad for Isaiah...

I’m also starting to get very comfortable in my own flesh so to speak. I can see my humanity so much better, and God is using it to change some things. I feel much less offendable and I’m trying to figure out why that is. I don’t think it’s just that I’m too hungry to care - as I said, I’m not that hungry. All I can say, is the Lord is working. I’m starting to think every time I start to feel too important or little things start to bother me, I should set aside a day or two to fast. Those seek like a really nice yoke to get rid of.

I hope you guys are starting to feel some changes from God. I don’t know what they might be, but I pray that they are good.

In Christ,
