Moving Closer To God!

On Sunday we spoke about fasting.

For someone like me who likes food, not an easy subject!

Fasting in the Bible has three implications:

- As a sign of mourning for our spiritual poverty
- As a sign of mourning a loved one
- To move us closer to God

Let's look at the last one.

Fasting can move us closer to God but it needs to done with care:
- If we are going to fast, we need to get advice from people with medical expertise
- Fasting should not be done whilst we still have to go to work etc
- Fasting should centre on the Cross

There are other ways to get closer to God as well. Reading our Bibles and setting aside time with God will also be helpful.

Bless you as you move closer to God!
