| Devotional by Tracy Brown (based on the book "40 Days of Decrease: A Different Kind of Hunger, A Different Kind of Fast" by Alicia Britt Chole) : Day Seven / 40 Days Of Decrease Fast |

Did you know that while there are forty different references to food in the Bible, there are seventy to fasting? Today we will be fasting a meal. The reason for this practice is so that we can take our physical hunger for food and turn it into a spiritual hunger for Jesus. While you do this today, ask God to give you more of a longing for Him.
