God’s Word for Today - 16 Oct 2024
Isaiah 58:5 KJV — Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 16 Oct 2024
It is not in Jehovah’s nature to endorse any shambolic behaviour in fulfilment of very serious spiritual practices. It is therefore no surprise that when you choose to do a spiritual fast you must do it in line with what is acceptable to God. And make no mistake about it, ignorance will not be a mitigating factor in deciding the acceptability of your fasting. The Bible clearly states what kind of spiritual fast Jehovah accepts and I would encourage you to familiarise yourself with scriptures relating to true and acceptable fast and stop following others ignorantly. Remember that no one can ever never mock God, so it is futile for you to think you can.
Pray: Merciful God I beseech You, teach me to fast in line with Your will. #Mok
