The Promise of Giving is designed to encourage giving while fasting. In Isaiah 58:6-12, the Lord explains that an acceptable fast to Him includes feeding and clothing those who are in need, restoring broken relationships with family, and sharing with strangers. During this fast, you are encouraged to use some of the money that you would spend on groceries and eating out for providing food and clothing to others.
