FASTING: FOOD

It would probably do us well to recognize that it was food that caused Adam and Eve to sin in the Garden.

Any tree, guys.  You can have them all.  Except for that one.  Just one.  Stay away from that one.

'Fasting calls us away from food.'



God didn't prohibit them from touching a certain animal or smelling a certain flower or enjoying a certain stream.  He told them not to eat a particular fruit.

Fasting calls us away from food.  It turns our focus back to God.  It helps us overcome the devil's temptation.  It flexes our self-discipline muscle.

And be blessed.
