Thought for Friday February 15


A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
and of my sin cleanse me.
A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn.
 
Matthew 9: 14 – 15  The disciples of John approached Jesus and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do not fast?”

What do I think about when I am fasting and my stomach growls?  Is fasting something I do for me or for God?

Action:  Try fasting a couple of extra times during Lent.
