What is fasting? Fasting is a discipline we use to symbolize our dedication to God and to provide opportunities for the furtherance of the Kingdom. To fast is really to focus. As we enter this month of fasting I would like us to meditate on Proverbs 1:32
"For the simple are killed by their turning away;
and the complacency of fools destroys them."
Before grave mistakes occur there is a decision made to look away from our focal point. Before the fool is destroyed he is complacent, lazy, and takes everything for granted. Let Waukesha Bible Church be renown for her ardency and not her complacency, her passionate focus and not her distractions and divisions. Ultimately our focus is Christ for without him we can do nothing. While I wrote this post I was listening to Lead Me to the Cross; I'll teach it to you later this morning.
Your brother in Christ,
