Interesting Experience

I had an interesting experience concerning fasting. I fasted this past Monday (I don't usually fast on Sunday - prefer a week-day). But during my fast I was second guessing the whole "fast" thing. Was it really helpful? What good does it do? Why fast anyway? I did not have a very good attitude. Then yesterday (Tuesday) I went to the temple and as I was waiting in initiatory (actually there was no wait -- I was the only patron in the waiting room at the time) I sat down anyway, briefly, picked up a scripture, opened it randomly and read two words. Then was called to go into initiatory. What words did I read? "Jesus fasts". It was in the heading of Matthew 4.
