Fasting was never just spiritual. I become more convinced of that with every year I practice.
God absolutely designed it to draw us closer to Him - that is real and that remains true. But when food is removed the body undergoes something profound at the cellular level. It clears inflammation, supports regeneration, and helps the body address damage that has been quietly accumulating - from stress, from trauma, and the cumulative weight of life lived in a fallen world.
The God who designed the human body and the God who instituted fasting is the same God. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
He was always after our wholeness. Not just our worship.
