In our discussion is class this past week, we went over 3 Nephi 13:16 which says, “Moreover, when ye fast be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father, who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” This lesson on fasting was a good reminder to me on how I should be on fast Sunday. I often worry more about my physical body being fed than my spirit. Our professor reminded us to look at fast Sunday as a day we can learn to fight against those things we seek after according to the flesh and to learn to let our spirit control our appetites and instead feed its hunger. He also compared this to learning to control our lusts and other worldly desires as we go throughout the rest of the month. Fast Sunday really is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our spirit and to put off the natural man. We should really be joyful instead of fasting with “a sad countenance”. This opportunity we have to fast each month can really be an amazing way to fill our souls with The Living Water and the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father will reward us, as it states in the scripture, if we come unto Him to fast and fast not unto men.
