Fasting

"Then you shall call, and Jehovah God will answer, you'll shout and he will say, Here I am," Isaiah 58:9.

Can you imagine God serving tables as a waiter? Well, there it is. The Bible says it. I believe it. That settles it. Except. Yes, well, there's always an exception, isn't there? This prophetic Waiter serves people who've reacted to his earlier call: release the unjustly imprisoned, free the oppressed, share food with the hungry, bring the homeless into their house, clothe the naked. And here we thought going to church, especially on Easter Sunday and Christmas, and Thanksgiving, oh, and fasting during lent, did the trick. The Waiter has just described what he wants in fasting: justice and compassion. The Bible says it. Sky kingdom.

Humbled by Jesus' service to us, we reach out with a brother or sister today. We share from His wealth with others. And, together, we give thanks.
