God’s Word for Today - 24 Oct 2024
Matthew 6:16 KJV — Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 24 Oct 2024
Those who follow Christ are set apart from all other people in so many ways, including in how they should conduct themselves when they are fasting, not because they are superior to others but because they choose to bend their will in humility to Jehovah in Whom they trust. They do whatever they choose to do not to curry favour from people but to honour and please God Who gives them the grace to accomplish every task and face every challenge. They are not hypocritical in their attitude. What about you? Do you conceal your fasting from others or do you prefer to make a show of it? If yes, please repent and refrain from that attitude, so your fasting can be acceptable to God.
Pray: Everlasting Father, I repent of being a hypocrite while fasting and ask Your forgiveness. #Mok
