Isaiah 58:6-8

6 Is this not the fast that I have chosen: 
      To loose the bonds of wickedness, 
      To undo the heavy burdens, 
      To let the oppressed go free, 
      And that you break every yoke?
 7 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? 
8 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. 


This is the fast our God has chosen. 
Have you been feeding the hungry, sheltering the poor & lost or clothing the naked? 
What is your focus? Building the kingdom on earth or in heaven?
