Zechariah 7:4-6, “Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me: Say to all the people of the land and the priests: When you fasted and lamented in the fifth month and in the seventh, for these seventy years, was it for me that you fasted? And when you eat and when you drink, do you not eat and drink only for yourselves?”
There was a song made popular by Frank Sinatra, “My Way.” Throughout the song the words tout the self-sufficiency of the singer. The words attempt to raise the self-congratulating persona of the singer to the level of God. Everything that the singer did, said or thought was entirely his way. Where is God in this? Zechariah asked the question that God prodded him to raise, “was it for me that you fasted?” Well, was it?
Prayer: Father, may the sacrifice of our beings into Your Holy Will be seamless and invisible. May we do all things that bring honor and glory to you be that fasting or feasting. In Jesus’ redemptive Name. AMEN
