"Is this not 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?"
Isaiah 58: 6,7

These two scriptures give us deep insight into the heart of our Father.  The Israelites had been humbling themselves and fasting before God with the intent of seeking him out.  Yet they were complaining that God had not seen them or taken notice of them and what they were doing. Why?  The answer may surprise us: They were not taking care of the poor, the needy and the oppressed.  They were humbling themselves and fasting, seeking after God, yet they had neglected those who were in need.

How about us?  God's heart has not changed.  His call for us is the same as it was for the Israelites in the days of Isaiah. Jesus said of Himself in Luke 4: 18, 19, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Brothers and sisters, we are the Body of Christ.  Let us carry out His will for the poor, the needy and the oppressed. Lord, may we have your heart.
