PB Devotions

Examine me, O Lord, and try me;
Test my mind and my heart.
Psalm 26:2

Fasting, whether it is all food or just certain things, should cause us to look within ourselves. Look within to what motivates us to do things. Pay attention to what causes us to quarrel and argue with other people. Notice what brings disharmony within yourself. Usually what causes a lack of peace in our own spirit is my own unsatisfied wants. A humbler spirit should be the result of a time of fasting. A spirit that puts God’s will above our own where it should be and places what other people need ahead of my own wants. Notice I said putting the needs of others above our own personal wants.
