Lots of folks fast during Lent. The idea calls for some serious thought.
Joel 1:14 (MSG)
Declare a holy fast,
call a special meeting,
get the leaders together.
Round up everyone in the country.
Get them into God’s Sanctuary
for serious prayer to God.
It’s possible to fast from things other than food–social media, TV, anything eating into your God-time. But food is the most common–whether it’s one type (meat or sweets), one meal, or walking away from all food for a season.
But know this: a holy fast has a spiritual purpose. Otherwise, it’s just a diet.
