Fasting is important but—

April 1, 2008 in Discipleship

‘The question we need to ask with any spiritual discipline is,
What does God want to accomplish through this practice? …
Perhaps we can see, then, that the discipline of fasting has to do with the critical dynamic of accepting those limits which are life-restoring. Our culture would seduce us into believing that we can have it all, do it all, and (even more preposterous!) that we deserve it all. Yet in refusing to accept limits on our consumption or activity, we perpetuate a death-dealing dynamic in the world. That is why the discipline of fasting is so profoundly important today.’

I’ve a lot to learn about disciplines but this one is for me the most difficult!
What do you think?
