Day 08

There is an interesting parable that Jesus shared in Matthew 12.43-45:

"“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

One of the important lessons we learn from this is that when we pursue & achieve spiritual victory over sin, it's vitally important for us to fill up that space in our lives with good, godly things. As we take time during our fasting to forego physical sustenance, let's remember to fill that space with spiritual food - primarily, the Word of God!
