Fast Day 17

I might be learning something.

Fasting is about sacrifice. I would suggest that biblical fasting involves food. It’s not abstinence from social media.

That said, I have tried to only do juice. Well, that is tearing up my stomach. Where is God in that?

I believe that part of what He is showing me is that fasting is about the heart putting skin in the game. If for whatever reason I cannot do just juice. it is ok to have some saltines to calm my stomach down. This is about being and giving a sacrifice to God.

It is not about perfection. That is religion, I think.

I dont know if this is accurate or not. I hope it’s not rationalization for not getting my fast 100% perfect.

Jen and I are continuing to fast. Today, I am having coffee.

Is this still an acceptable offering to God? I sure hope it is.

LORD?
