(Jesus continued) “And when you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:16 – 18

Fasting….. Lord there is much that could be said about fasting. Here You were talking with those that fasted so they could be thought of as someone special. It was the ‘me’ emphasis and not that it would bring honor and glory to Your name.

Thank You Lord for knowing all about us.

Thank You for understanding our motives.

Thank You for knowing our desires.

Thank You that there is no part of us that You do not understand. Oh how blessed we are.

Thank You Lord.
