God's Chosen Fast

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of
injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed
free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the
hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the
naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and
blood?....and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy
the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the
darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Isaiah 58:6-7,10

  1. I have been studying this scripture and have come to love it. I am so impressed with what you young people are doing--reaching out beyond yourselves to the world around you both locally and globally. Thank you for being a blessing to others.
