When Jesus was tempted by the devil after He had just completed a 40 day fast (upon which the idea of Lent is based) He responded with the Words of Scripture. Jesus reminds us that it isn't simply about the physical, but rather that there is a Supernatural reality that God calls us to. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God".
By not perhaps you are like me in that the mechanics of the Fast are less on the mind. We now have food around here that I can eat, some recipe ideas, and now some successful days from which to take encouragement. But let's not stop there and feel good about how we are doing/feeling physically (not to take away from the physical, but not to stop there either), but let us now move on in the midst of the Fast to consider the Words of God. May that be our true sustenance, may God's Words be our meat.
Let us be in prayer today for the proclamation of the Gospel from the Churches of our town/state/country. God let there be a revival of interest in Your Word, rather than the words of man. Amen.
