Sacrifice

Walking with Christ

Isaiah 58:6-9

Is this not the fast I have chosen:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the heavy burdens
to let the oppressed free
and that you break every yoke?

Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and that you bring to your house
the poor who are cast out;
when you see the naked, that you
cover him,
and not hide yourself from your
own flesh?

Then your light shall break forth
like the morning
your healing shall spring forth speedily,
and your righteousness shall go
before you;
the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call and the Lord
will answer;
you shall cry, and He will say,
“ Here I am.’

Isaiah 58:6-9
