This is a great question Lori! I think you are right on with the reminder of God’s provision…I would take it a step deeper and say that it is a reminder that it is God who sustains me and not food. When I have fasted, I have found that it reminds me how addicted I am to food and how I have made it a god in my life. We get to live very comfortably in America and have to work really hard to make ourselves uncomfortable, however it is usually the uncomfortable that God uses to help us grow the most. So, spiritual disciplines like fasting play a huge part in helping me remember that my life and hope comes from my walk with Christ and not things on this earth.
