Isaiah 58:6 "Is not
this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the
heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every
yoke?"
Fasting usually means no
food. That is not always possible or healthy.
There are other kinds of
fasts. Common ones still refer to food—for instance fasting from anything that
contains caffeine.
But there are other kinds
of fasts that could benefit us greatly. One example of a chosen fast it to fast
from getting down on ourselves—we could decide that for one week, no matter how
we might fail food-wise, exercise-wise, or any other way, like losing our
tempers, we will forgive ourselves right away and not beat ourselves up about
it.
