Fasting for re-examination. In the Old Testament, God asked His people to set aside one day each year - a Day of Atonement - to take an introspective look at their spiritual state. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. (Leviticus 23:27) How did the psalmist humble his soul? With fasting. He wrote, But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. (Psalms 35:13)
