## Resource

The Fast Before the Feast The world rushes toward Christmas with lights, sales, and sugar. But we are called to slow down. To prepare the way of the Lord—not with glitter, but with stillness. “Make ready the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight!” (Mark 1:3, NASB) This fast is not about punishment. It is about preparation. It is about clearing space in our lives to receive the Christ who comes.
