Adam and Eve chose eat of the tree which will open their eyes, they chose their interests over the will of God. Jesus admonishes us to give up self, if we truly want to journey with him. Fasting and almsgiving in the period of lent and beyond, is a way to give up self for God. When you deny yourself of food and pleasures, and feed yourself with the word of God, you admit your reliance on heaven, to meet your needs. We are in this life first, to serve God and bring him glory. Fasting tells God that you put him first, over and above your passions and desires, His will over your pleasures, His word over your daily bread. You can start by giving up one hour of your favourite TV show, spending 3 bucks of your coffee on charity, a day of your social media time, sacrifice something for God. Fasting meets your needs and intentions faster when combined with prayer. Today, we pray for the grace to Choose God, over and above our desires and will.
