Today is day three of our journey into a closer relationship wiyh God.  This is typically the most difficult day of the fast.  Hang in there the benifits far outweigh the momentary discomfort.  Remeber that fasting is continual prayer each time you feel hungry remember that your purpose is to is to get Closer to God and just take that moment to meditaite on Him.  As you experience temporary hunger in the flesh for natural food as the Holy Spirit to increase your hunger for Him, also ask the lord to give you a new vision for the coming year. Remember just because something is hard does not mean you should give up, remember no pain to gain.  The passage form our reading today that I would like us to consider is Matthew 18:7-11  ⁷“Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes! ⁸“If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.
⁹“If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell.
¹⁰“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
¹¹“^£For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
The passage teaches us that we need to go to what length necessay to ensure our right relationship with God and our ultimate reward of  spending eternity in heave with Him.  We must also guard our hearts,our testimony, and mouth that we do not become a stumbling block to others.  I don't think we should take it lighty that Jesus said "woe to man who causes a stumbling block."
