Feasting and Fasting

Written By Beyond the Otherside

Lesson Text: Daniel 1:5, 8-17, Matthew 6:16-18

Thought to Remember: Fasting connects us spiritually to God

Lessons learned:

This lesson informs us that God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. Yet, the first step in remaining loyal to God was their food intake, which became the foundation of their calling. Why are our eating habits so vital in our spiritual growth?

 

My Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, direct us, O Lord, on how to fast. Please help us understand why we are fasting. Remind us that we are fasting in ways pleasing to You and not for show. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Beyond the Otherside

I present the same Biblical truth on this website from a different perspective. Although God’s word remains unchanged, our experiences can provide new viewpoints. Therefore, I intend to develop a series of eBooks to share my reflections with you. I have held two careers: 33 years in the Army Reserves, reaching the rank of Colonel, and 43 years in higher education as an administrator. Due to my various leadership roles, I possess a broad range of experience working with Soldiers and students of all ages. I have observed numerous incidents that I have valued over the years. Now, I am applying those experiences to Kingdom work at the OLM School of Ministry as an instructor and administrator.
