“No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. “Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind. [Isaiah 58.6-8]
Ok, this is serious stuff. The list is not an easy one to fill.
And yet, the fast-er's salvation and physical healing depend on it.
Father in heaven, help me to give You the devotion (including fasting) that You desire.
