RE: Just Me Being Me!

in #dtube6 years ago

howdy there hebrewhousewife! well, about the sound thing, don't worry about it if no one else has a problem hearing it, maybe it's our computers, they are getting old. Maybe you could ask if anyone has had the same problem and see if anyone does.

I just thought it might be a problem with others but maybe it isn't.

As far as fasting I think the topic scares people off because it sounds real hard but I don't think it has to be. If you want it to be that's fine but hey, giving up anything you love will be honored by God and is effective.

And that doesn't have to be food. I know there are passages that talk about it and that is wonderful to follow but when those were written they didn't live in a world of luxuries like we do so there are many things we could give up and be sacrificing to honor God and concentrate on His Word and His Will for our lives.

Like tv. Many of us spend time every night watching tv but what if you dedicated that time to God in prayer and seeking Him through His Word?
That's something that would be tough for many people to sacrifice but if you choose to use food you don't have to starve yourself, you can just give up sweets for a week or your favorite drink.

The principle is what's important, not a specific method and some people get into thinking it has to be food and I don't think it does.
And I used to have verses which supported my belief on that but I can't remember what they are now! lol.

Sort:  

Isn’t fasting supposed to be hard (to some degree)? Isn’t that what makes us lean into Him while we fast?

I’m thinking there’s something to fasting from food (and water?), but I agree, I don’t think it has to be limited to just that. You know how hard it would be for me to fast from anything to do with the internet?!

oh yes, my point exactly..anything that would be painful for us God is impressed by, the internet could be the biggest sacrifice any of us could make! lol. Well, most of us anyway.
