This is the kind of fast day I’m after

February 25th, 2008 · No Comments

This scripture hit me from the message noted on Vicky Beechings Blog 

Isaiah 58.6-8

6“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.

7What 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.

8Do 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.

This also makes me thankful for the clarity that Peterson interpreted when writing the message.
