New Lutheran Quote of the Day
When we fast, we let God expose the secrets of our hearts and let His light drive out the darkness in them; we let Him set the agenda for a fuller participation in His holiness and with Christ in His battle against the evil one. Fasting, therefore, is a kind of spiritual house cleaning. Its "reward" is greater freedom from oppression by Satan and deeper intimacy with God. -- John Kleinig, *Grace Upon Grace* p. 244

Great quote to share. I think this is so true.
And every work we attempt to do for His sake has a similar reward.
