Grace Disciplines: Fasting (part 2 of 2)

Published: Nov. 6, 2014, 1 p.m.

Mike Daniel continues his discussion of fasting from a grace grid, including fasting as grieving our hunger and homesickness for a world with God to come; we don’t fast to earn anything by it but we’re not going to enjoy what we have without deliberately seeking God; God will get our attention through bad circumstances, but if we can learn to practice experiencing his presence through fasting, we can more easily experience him in the midst of circumstances. The reason we fast from food or anything we do to distract ourselves in this world, is to have a specific interaction with Him that can be generalized to all of life.
