Isaiah 58
Inspired thots
How faithful is my God who responds to my simple prayer of inspiration for today's devotion! Praise Him for His mercy and faithfulness as He reveals His thoughts on Fasting even as we start the 40-fast today!
How inspirational to have the answer of what type of fasts pleases God! It is NOT the TYPE of fast but the PURPOSE of the Fast and how we react during the fasting.
The WRONG fast is for self; to brag and boost while stirring up strife without proper control to eradicate self-centeredness. The RIGHT type of fast is what GOD designs; to LOOSE BONDS of Wickedness; to UNDO the THONGS of the YOKE; to let the OPPRESSED GO FREE; to BREAK EVERY YOKE; to CONSIDER others Better than self.
With the RIGHT fast, God will respond. We shall be blest by the Lord when we fast rightly for His glory according to His purpose. v8 ... the GLORY of the Lord shall be my REAR GUARD. God has me covered when I walk rightly with Him! Hallelujah!
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
