Isaiah 58:6-8 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? [7] Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? [8] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

Fasting if we conceive of it truly, must not. . . be confined to the
question of food and drink; fasting should really be made to include
abstinence from anything which is legitimate in and of itself for the
sake of some special spiritual purpose.

Self-indulgence is the enemy of gratitude, and self-discipline usually its
friend and generator. That is why gluttony is a
deadly sin. Cornelius Plantinga,

There are no quick and easy paths to spiritual maturity.
The soul that seeks a deeper level of maturity must be
