'They Are Not Of This World.'
John 17:14.
a) "I have given them Your Word;
b) "And the World has hated them
c) "Because they are not of the World,
d) "Just as I am not of the World."
(This QT reminds me that True Disciples of Jesus Are Not Of This World)
PRAY: To live as a True Disciple of Jesus Christ.

'Because They Were Hungry.'
Matthew 12:1.
a) At that time
b) Jesus went through the grain fields on the Sabbath.
c) And His Disciples were hungry,
d) And began to pluck heads of grain
e) And to eat.
(Through this Second one I see that the Disciples of Jesus did something unusual Because They Were Hungry)
PRAY: To take necessary food and not go hungry - unless we are fasting.

Chris.
It is very clear in the Word of God that God does not want His People to go hungry. In these days fasting is acceptable but not extreme fasting! Fasting does not make God do something! The most effective witness is a balanced life - without extremes! It is clear from the Scriptures that Jesus Christ lived a balanced life. He died a terrible death on the Cross but the life that He lives was both sacrificial and balanced.
