21-Day Devotional w/Fasting - Day 2

📖 Day 2: What Is Fasting, Really?

Scripture:“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” – Matthew 4:4 (NIV)

Devotional:Fasting is not about punishment. It’s not just skipping meals—it’s training your spirit to crave God more than anything else.

When Jesus fasted for 40 days, He wasn’t proving His strength—He was anchoring His spirit. He overcame temptation in a weakened body because His spirit was full.

This fast is not about weight loss or willpower. It’s about spiritual hunger. Let this be a time where you feed more on the Word than you do on food.

Prayer:Jesus, help me understand the purpose of this fast. Teach me to hunger for Your Word more than anything else. Strengthen my spirit even when my body feels weak. Amen.

Fasting Focus:When hunger hits today, pause and pray. Don’t just push through—use it as a signal to press into God.

Call to Action:Read Matthew 4:1–11 and reflect on how Jesus responded during His fast. What can you learn from His posture?
