Zechariah 7:4-5. Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying, Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the filth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
There is the point. You can fast to self. You can fast to your own pride. If we have no thought of honouring God in our fasting, there is nothing in it. The question is, "Did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?"
