The Christian life is about both feasting and fasting; choosing what is
good, creative and healing in life, turning away from the rest. I
suggest below some areas in which I need to both feast and fast...
perhaps you will find something that applies to you?
Fast from judging others; feast on the Christ dwelling in them. Fast from
emphasis on differences; feast on the unity of life. Fast from
apparent darkness; feast on the reality of light. Fast from
thoughts of illness; feast on the healing power of God. Fast from
discontent; feast on gratitude. Fast from anger;
feast on patience. Fast from
pessismism; feast on opportunism.
Fast from worry; feast on God's will for you. Fast from
complaining; feast on appreciation. Fast from
negatives; feast on affirmatives. Fast from
unrelenting pressures; feast on unceasing prayer. Fast from bitterness;
feast on forgiveness. Fast from self-concern;
feast on compassion for others. Fast from personal
anxiety; feast on God's non-abandoning love. Fast from
discouragements; feast on hope. Fast from facts
that depress; feast on verities that uplift. Fast from
lethargy; feast on enthusiasm. Fast from
thoughts that weaken; feast on promises that inspire. Fast from
shadows of sorrow; feast on the sunlight of serenity. Fast from idle
gossip; feast on purposeful silence. Fast from
problems that overwhelm; feast on prayer that undergirds.
