Fast Forward

Fasting throughout scripture is setting aside time to focus on Jesus. Many times we think of fasting only as abstaining from food, but you can also fast from TV, movies, the internet, spending money, facebook/twitter, etc. The point is to pick something in your life that consumes you, that takes your attention and time away from God and abstain from that for a period of time to. Fasting allows you to spend more time praying, listening to God, and reading scripture. This is a great way to remind us what is important, who our first priority should be (God) and to refocus and center ourselves.

The Big Idea: Going hungry is one of the easiest ways to be filled by God.
