Fasting is one of the things alluded to in yesterday’s post. It’s a powerful spiritual tool for the purpose of getting closer to God. The power in fasting is rooted in sacrifice, denying ourselves. However if we deny ourselves food but look to get honor from others because we are fasting, then we may as well order up a Big Mac because the how and why are all wrong.

God is more concerned with how and why we do things than He is with what we do. We unfortunately put more emphasis on what. There are numbers of actions or activities that we engage in that look great to the world around us but if we are doing them to bring glory to ourselves they are as wrong as doing something that everyone recognizes as bad.
