Fasting is not merely about seeking God daily and delighting to know His way that makes it profitable (vrs 2)
One wrong way to fast is to find pleasure and exact all your labours (v 3). Fasting is not the time to do the things you love and get involved in so many activities. It's a time with the Lord. In some parts of the Bible, fasting is called mourning.
Another wrong way to fast is for strife and debate and to smite (v 4). Fasting must kill the flesh and not empower it. It's not the time to quarrel, fight and argue.
Cardinal scripture : Isaiah 58:1-14 all sentences are paraphrased from this verse
#Doing the usual things and expecting results from fasting is impossible.
#Don't just take delight in approaching God, allow God to work on you
