I don't think I have a problem with eating too much meat, I just figured I would do something that would interrupt the routine of my life a bit. Also, I want to enjoy God through what I eat and often, being familiar with something, hinders me from doing so. I can't wait to tear into a steak in 40 days and remind myself how good God is that He made whole animals from steak! Another thing this fast will do is help me to think a little harder about those who rarely, if ever, get the kind of meals we do in America. Hopefully it will make me more generous and less greedy and demanding when it comes to my stuff! It will definitely challenge me to get a little more creative when it comes to buying groceries and eating out.
Ultimately this fast will remind me of the Gospel, that Christ is enough for me, and that if I never have another steak or burger again, He would be enough for me!
