PB Devotional

”And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The church has adopted a 40 day observance. Some call it Lent and some call it 40 Days of Purpose. The heart of Lent is a season of fasting, which Jesus obviously expected for his followers to do. He said “when you fast,” not “if you fast”

We abstain from worldly pleasures to realize their power over us, to remind ourselves of our frailty and continual need of grace, and to rejoice that our appetite for sin has been dealt with unless you desire it.

What have you realized about yourself so far?
