Happy Sabbath, I hope this day can be special for each of you.
As you know, today we are in a special program of Fasting and Prayer. This morning I
would like to take a few minutes to explain what fasting is from a biblical perspective.
It seems that it is not always clear what its meaning is. It is not the same “what people think
fasting is” and what it really is according to the Bible.
What is the relationship between fasting and God answering our prayers?
Is fasting a merit before God? Is it like coming before God and saying something like: I am
in a complex situation, I need your help, here is my payment: the fast, now answer me!
Although not everyone says it or does not verbalize it, it seems that some believe it.
2. 2. Fasting periods have been shown to have protective and therapeutic properties
(PRÓPERTIS) for our brain. Because for the brain, fasting is like exercising and
that explains why when we do fasting diets (DÁIETS) we notice greater mental
clarity and better concentration.
So the main idea is that by fasting our brain is better able to understand, learn, and work
better.
If we combine this idea of what happens in the brain with spiritual life, then we understand
that by fasting our brain and mind are better able to receive God and understand his
will.
Now! we are fasting regarding the accreditation of our school. So by praying and fasting we
are saying to God: Lord, the non-accreditation of our school is a problem for us. And we
see that the solution is the acreditation. But!! ¿Lord, do you have other plans for this place
that we still don’t understand? Please answer us.
I like the definition given by Dr. Ángel Manuel Rodríguez. he says that it is not easy to
define fasting for every situation. but he says: "
From this perspective I believe that we must recognize today that we need the Lord.
You need the Lord, I need the Lord. Our school needs the Lord.
I am certain that if we seek the Lord he will help us, to show us what we should do. You
probably need a new approach in your life. The Lord can give it to you.
or there are probably decisions to be made in our school, by our school. The Lord will
answer us.
God bless you and may you allow God to speak to your mind today.
