Isaiah 58:6-9
6-9"This is the kind of fast day I'm after:
to break the chains of injustice,
get rid of exploitation in the workplace,
free the oppressed,
cancel debts.
What I'm interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.
Do this and the lights will turn on,
and your lives will turn around at once.
Your righteousness will pave your way.
The God of glory will secure your passage.
Then when you pray, God will answer.
You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am.'
Well today's one is quite interesting, telling us what a true fasting is. Fasting is to abstain from something, but not for ourself, it is to abstain from things that bring us away from the love of God. It also involve helping those that is need. When we do all this God we be with us and not just that He will go before us, when we cry out to Him he will listen and be there for us.
Dear Father, i pray for a genuine heart transformation that when i serve other i will be truly happy about it and not serve for the sake of serving. Dear God i pray that you give me a deeper in the work that i am doing. I also pray that my life will not stumble my fellow brothers or sister anymore. Lord help me to change, i want to do the things i said. I also pray that when God bless me i will freely share it with the people around me. Dear God help me. I am trying to change from within, So please help me, for i am weak bless me with your strength and power.
