Luke 4:1

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing.

Jesus' time in the wilderness is a profound example of fasting and the spiritual strength that comes from it. For forty days, Jesus fasted and was tempted by the devil, demonstrating the power of self-discipline and dedication. Fasting in the wilderness was not just about physical deprivation but about building spiritual fortitude and resisting temptation. It was through this period of fasting that Jesus was prepared for His ministry, relying not on bread but on the strength that comes from God’s word. The temptation that followed was not a mere test of willpower, but a spiritual battle, and fasting gave Jesus the strength to stand firm against the devil’s schemes. Similarly, fasting prepares us for the challenges and temptations we face, fortifying our spirits and drawing us closer to God. It’s during times of fasting that we learn to rely on God’s provision and strength, knowing that our true nourishment comes from His word and presence.
