More From John Piper

If we feel that any habit or pursuit, harmless in itself, is keeping us from god and sinking us deeper in the things of earth; if we find that things which others can do with impunity are for us the occasion of falling, then abstinence is our only course. abstinence alone can recover for us the real value of what should have been for our help but which has been an occasion of falling. ... it is necessary that we should steadily resolve to give up anything that comes between ourselves and god.

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

Therefore bread was created for the glory of christ. hunger and thirst were created for the glory of christ. and fasting was created for the glory of christ. which means that bread magnifies christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for god himself. when we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food—the bread of life. and when we fast we say, “i love the reality above the emblem.” in the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. both magnify christ.
